[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3165dwayne:
So I got the phone yesterday. It feels much better than my G4. It's also pretty snappy. When compared to my X3 I have to say that it is much cleaner but it is no where near as loud. In order to get a nice amount of volume I had to use my creative e3. The good news is that I still think this phone can (already has) replace my FiiO X3 since it sounds so much better.
[LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kakuz:
That is my experience, yes. I just can't toggle the amp off on Spotify like I can with local files.

Hello :good:

I have had my phone since release day, and I noticed in the sun I can see some lines in the screen almost looks like a burn image going vertically down. There are two large lines and a rectangle looking one in the middle. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but I can see it more in person and it bugs me :(

Does anyone else have this? Perhaps it's some type of shadow caused by the curved screen? I am going to open a warranty claim with T mobile, but I was just curious if I am the only one with this problem?

Thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] eeekim33:
Yes I can see it too only in the sun on white background it looks like a shadow of something behind screen I read online that screen is very slim and it does bother me too this is the second thing first being a ripple in the glass top too bottom can only see it in the sun screen off no screen protector I guess the price of this phone is why these things bother me other than that this is the nicest phone I've owned and these are things I can live with as long as they don't get worse
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] ingenious247:
It's not burn in. It's part of the construction of the phone, and only visible in direct sunlight where the light can penetrate the display to the point it's revelaing the structure underneath. Completely normal. No worries
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] ssmr2t:
The thing is, if you look closely, you see the graph of pixels now too, seems like it's getting worse.

Its a matter of fact that you spend this much money on a "flag ship device" with a great display in store, but when I go outside (where 90% of my workday resides) you see the issue. It's misleading the customer (Such a GREAT display....((INDOORS ONLY)) ) It's just principal.

If the replacement I get tomorrow has this issue as well (I am suspecting it will based on the responses)- I will call Samsung corporate and respectfully request a full refund as Tmobile wont take it back since it's beyond 30 days.

Edit: Thanks for everyones reply
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] ingenious247:
I can respect your position, but I disgree that Samung is "misleading" the customer. It's been confirmed through 3rd party screen test companies that the Note 5 and the S6 Edge+ have the best screens in the industry. Just because you don't like how the screen looks in direct sunlight doesn't make it bad or false advertising.

Still the best screen around, everytime I'm out with people (which is a lot) my Edge+ blows away their phones, all of them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] vvveith:
Excuse me?

Really, A glass phone in direct sunlight? That's what a smartwatch is for. Do you walk down the street looking at you phone? Do you hold it up in direct sunlight? Do you understand the properties of glass? The screen is amazing. Most of the people I know that use this device do not expose it or any other phone to direct sunlight, there is even a warning in the manual about not doing so because it can seriously damage your screen. Dude, it's a glass phone. The sun is a very bright star and has a way of shining through glass. Do you find it odd that you are the only person reporting this as an issue? Go with an HTC or Iphone, they are built of metal and will not let the sun through, the drawback being that they will cut your reception slightly. This is the way it is, the phone is fine and the screen is good, but you can't please everyone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] ssmr2t:
well, anyways :) I got my replacement today and guess what? It doesn't have those blobs on it so big freggin deal guys. It was a one off. You guys take all this crap personally like you made the phones yourselves LOL
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xperia z3:
So Im really eager to buy the Z5, will the price get cheaper as we get in into the holiday season? it already went down from 700 to about 640 on ebay and amazon. Also what online retailer did you guys buy from?

[Thinkpad Tablet General] daWyrd1:
thank you! i had the boot to bios problem after trying some not-smart things. after spending an hour on the phone with lenovo this morning getting a repair authorization, i printed out the label. i don't need to send in my 1380f now.

your app fixed that and i was able to flash to kitkat and then upgrade to lollipop.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bisti2004:
Works perfect! Thanks!
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ionioni:
yeah... the guys at Lenovo deserve a break, they have such a beautiful daadeedaadoo sound on the boot animation (that one cannot even disable it :) )

Pentru putin :)

My 1050F cannot boot for long time, I posted the problem(http://xdaforums.com/thinkpad-tablet/general/help-1050f-dead-t3188696) but no one answered me. Today I was very excited to find this post and read it carefully, then tried to do it. But just after the sending progress started (the "xx%" progress began)for about 10 seconds, the program "restore-kitkat-bios-830_1050" vanished(Maybe forced teminated by Windows? I ran the "restore-kitkat-bios-830_1050" after a new reboot of Windows). I waited for about 3 minutes, the "restore-kitkat-bios-830_1050" program still didn't appear, and the tab hanging on a normal picture ( I don't remember, probably a recovery stage picture? but I remember the last line is "the result is Okay"). So I had to disconnct the tab from the computer, and powered it off. Then I try to power it on, but sadly find it cannot boot to any screen. In a dark room, I find the backlight of the tab is on when I pressed the power button, but there is no text or picture on it, regardless of whether I press the power button independently, or press the power button together with any volume button(s).

Now the tablet seemingly has changed into a REAL brick (or hardware brick?). How can I rescue it? The only way is to send it to a service?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ionioni:
i've seen the post with the problem you had, now the thing is on a "normal" bricked tablet (meaning soft bricked one) your tab never hangs at the screen to which you're referring to (Powered by Android) it will always move on (to some error message, bios etc). the same tool was used by me and others (including for your 1050F model last one I recall is [MENTION=3741261]Einwood[/MENTION]) and never had issues (until now) so imo it's very unlikely that the problem was from the tool (it's task is quite simple and don;t see what could go wrong) something interrupted the flashing process. also you said you tried both lollipop and kiktkat rom flashing and failed and at least one of them should have worked (the roms are flashed using bios dnx as start) so the issues are with your tab hardware most likely.

but all that is irrelevant now... if it doesn't boot at all and you cannot get it to show ANY message at all (white Lenovo logo doesn't show up when you power on nor does it buzz when pwr on) then service is the only solution

@ The Others: please post your tab model too when posting
[Thinkpad Tablet General] aerofisher:
Thank you so much for such detailed analysis, but I cannot figure out why the hardware has problem. Yes, now it cannot show ANYTHING, white Lenovo logo doesn't show up nor does it buzz when pwr on. Anyway, I think I have no choice except the official repairment now.

I'm trying to find the LENOVO service sites in Canada, but their Canada official site has no such information, on the contrast, its website is full of sale/order/payment information. I think I should re-think about this company.

Thank you again for the reply.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ionioni:
sorry about your issue, yet repairing should not take long, maybe [MENTION=3971563]workdowg[/MENTION] can guide you more as it had a similar problem and was solved very fast (6 days if i recall) sending through fedex on lenovo's expenses.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] workdowg:
http://bfy.tw/2gNc (just having fun) it is the one that says phone support.

Yes, once i talked to them (about 5 minutes) they emailed me all i needed and i just had to find a local fedex dropoff center. They boxed it and i got it back in 6 days.... this seems to be a common thing for them....

Yoga Tab 2 (830, 1050, 1380) - get back to KitKat

You are my lifesaver and I just can not thank you enough [MENTION=997923]ionioni[/MENTION] :)

how can you make a file like restore-kitkat-bios-1380.zip ??!! you are such a genius !! :good:

We will never be able to flash it back to KitKat Bios without this zip file !! :crying:

But why don't we need to flash it back to Kitkat Bios on my Samsung Note 3, S5, Note 10.1 (2014 version) and Nexus 9 ?!!

thank you very much for your hard work again and keep up the good work pls :)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ionioni:
this was on my inbox and it should continue publicly maybe others can benefit

you should NOT use the tool unless it is made exactly for your model, or you most likely will hard-brick. moreover Lenovo uses an in-cpu module for digitally checking the authenticity of the firmware you have on your board at pwr on time and even if you have a bios that would work on your model if it is signed with another key it will cause a hard-brick (the measured boot module will refuse to load the IBB in the new bios).

for eg if one writes the 1051 windows variant of bios on the 1050 android one (they are identical in hardware) it hard-bricks (tested).

send me a link to the latest KK stock rom for your device and i will check on it.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] bombolota1:
That is what happend to me. My loved 1380f is hard-bricked. Only the white lamp is blinking and it doesn't turn on anymore.

Is there a possibility to repair it or can i throw it in the garbage? Please give me an advice. Thank you very much.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ionioni:
not so much you can do, the hardware is fine, it just got the wrong firmware in it... somehow you must rewrite the bios but you cannot do that from the outside (ie by software means) without being able to boot at least in DnX mode. you can check quickly ... if after you PwrOn (well.. after you long press Pwr button as at this moment Powered On of Off are werid concepts :) ) you don't get NOTHING on your display (ye not even the Lenovo -> Powered by Android white/black logo) than that's it (try maybe to see if somehow DnX didn't got hooked by entering a fastboot devices and see if by some miraccle you don't see your device there)

your device must be opened by a repairing service tech (especially if he is on warranty), you could do it yourself (i did) but you need the appropiate tools and know/how otherwise from a hard-bricked yet recoverable (the hardware is ok) you will transform it into just a paper holder :)

updated kitkat bios restore tool to version 2 (foolproof version). read the main thread post at the beginning.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pawlikp100:
Good morning.

Please let me introduce my situation. I use Lenovo Yoga tablet 2 Pro. On 9-th of november I updated Android to 5.0.1. Unfortunately, one of my commercial aps now can not make a connection with external device (no appropriate information about USB connection is appeared).

I am affraid the problem lies on the Android 5.0.1 system. Before that everything had worked perfect.

That is way I decided to downgrade to the Androix 4.x.

I found above treads, but have some doubts.

Is above tool downgrade my system to Android 4.x or do I need to do some additional operations, to get back to the Android 4.x?

In the section - how to use it (point 5) we can read:

Can you give me some more detalis (links about that?)

Kind regards from Poland

Pietia.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] ionioni:
you must:

1. Downgrade the bios using the restoring tool (you mention "Yoga Tab 2 Pro" so you must use the 1380 version), and you must do that so you can flash KitKat stock rom on your tablet (if you try to flash directly, without the bios downgrade it will fail and you will soft-brick your tablet)

2. After restoring the bios, download from here your stock KitKat rom and extract

3. Flash using Intel Phone Flash Tool (open with it the "flash.xml" from the target_bin directory of the extracted archive). the Intel Tool can be found in the tools directory of the same extracted archive.

4. After you finished sotck KitKat flashing, remember to set your contry code (####6020# in Contacts), also it's not necessary to make your settings wifi etc before you set your country code as they will anyway going to be deleted (a factory reset is performed on country code setting operation). if you don't set a country code you will fail when upgrading to Lollipop.

5. Update using the Lollipop OTA or stay on KitKat
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pawlikp100:
Thank you for explanation.

I download system, installed Phone Flash Tool, open it and chose flash.xml, but after connecting my YT2Pro I can not see device specific with "Start to flash" button in the Device list area of the program.

see below screen. Is this screen looks as it should? (ups, unfortunately I can not post images, because I am new user).

One more thing, tablet should be turned off during flashing?

Right now my tablet is connected to the laptop by USB. It is not switched off and charging is in progress (laptop does not see my tablet as an additional disc/device).

Is above status correct?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
1. have you downgraded the bios? (you only need to do it once, so if you already did and it reported Status OK and rebooted you're fine, proceed with the below step)

2. next step read this
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pawlikp100:
I have just started downgraded BIOS...I placed my tab in the DnX mode. My screen has displayed "Fastboot starting". I run the tool, clicked "C" and get a message:

[PC] Sending files for booting in fastboot mode

_

Above message was the only one...I was waiting for 5 minutes, nothing has changed. The process was not progressing...

I wonder what is wrong.

My system is Windows 7. When the tablet is in DnX mode, it is not visible as an device in Start>Computer. I wonder what is wrong?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
if you had the "Fastboot starting..." message when you run the restoring tool then it means you did not installed the drivers properly.

you must install both IntelAndroid and iSoC
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pawlikp100:
I installed both drivers, but during the installation process I got message that Windows system can not verify drvers's publiser ( problem with digital signature), nevertheless I was continuing the installation process.

I will try to install those drivers once again.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pawlikp100:
Strange, both drivers are installed, because when I try to install it once again, computer first wants to uninstall the previous one.

Is there any way to verify correctness of drivers installation?

One more thing during iSocUSB Driver installation I got message as below:

To be honest I have no idea what should I do with above?

Edited:

I checked Add/remove programs section.

It looks like all needed components are installed (iSocUSB Driver version 1.2, Intel Android Driver version 1.2 and Microsoft Visulal C++ 2012 redistribute...)

I connect tablet to the laptop using typical cable type A - mini A.

It looks like there is no communication between tablet and computer :(

Any idea?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] workdowg:
I am a reluctant Windows user (I use it in VirtualBox) but it does sound like a driver issue. I suggest the following:

1 - Disconnect the tablet (disconnect the cable from PC) and power off (It doesn't need to be connected no matter what the "warnings" say)

2 - Uninstall the Intel Phone Flash Tool, iSoc Driver and the Intel Android driver

3 - Reboot your PC

4 - Install the PhoneFlashTool_4.4.4.1_external_win32 (This also installs older versions of the iSoc and Intel Driver)

5 - Now install the iSocUSB-Driver-Setup-1.2.0

6 - Finally the IntelAndroidDrvSetup

1.9.0

7 - Reboot your PC

8 - Now you can enter DnX mode o the tablet (vol+,vol- and power - at the white Lenovo release only the power). You will see fastboot starting...

9 - Start the Intel Phone Tool

10 - NOW plug the cable in and you should see in the upper left - Status: DNX

Now that you know you have good drivers go back to the beginning of this thread and fix the kit Kat/lollipop bios issue and then...

Finish the KitKat flashing tutorial.

I think it is my bad for not including the power off, rebooting and cable disconnect stuff in my thread. I'll fix that...

I hope this helps...

---------- Post added at 04:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:07 PM ----------

My thread post is fixed now....
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
edit and add the restore bios part before
[Thinkpad Tablet General] workdowg:
Fixed. ;)

From my LG-G4, Rooted running Stock 5.1
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
maybe you should detail the "why" you are trying to go back to kitkat (what is the exact problem you have, give a link to the app that it's not working etc) and we can try fixing that problem you have now on Lollipop rather than doing all this
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
danks
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pawlikp100:
Hi, I did as you write above.

All drivers are installed. I reached point 8. I have a message : fastboot starting....

Point 9. Started restore-kitkat-bios-1380-v2.exe, klicked C(ontinue) on the keyboard plug the cable and nothing.

Maybe the problem

is cable

which I use to when I connect tablet to the computer. It is the same cable which is used during charging tablet.

I lost the hope.

Why I want to downgrade?

I use commercial application which is called Mobile Sheets Pro (this is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zubersoft.mobilesheetspro) - It is also available as freeware limited version. You can find it in Play Store.

This apps is such like digital binder with the musical sheets.

I have tablet connected with keyboard. Tablet and keyboard communicates each other. After upgrading Android to 5.0.1 tablet does not want to communicate with keyboard. The fact that

I am not seeing a message about the connection

concerns me. Both devices can not communiacte.

I contacted with developer of MSPro. He is very helpful. He checked all changes implemented into the new versions. He even sent me that version which definitely cooperated with my keyboard (under Android 4.X - without success).

I suppose that there is something wrong with Android 5.0.1 (some bugs).

MSPro is compatible with Android 5 (actually, MSPro developer tested his aps under Android 5.1.1 and it works -but as we know that version is not available for Lenovo Yoga tablet 2 Pro). That is why I want to downgrade.

There is one more thing I wonder why my tablet does not want to communicate with computer. When I plug it to the computer with the cable described above I can see that it is charging.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
installed the free and ut works

is your keyboard detected when you plugin to the tablet? (should prompt you a message and also add a entry in the upper notification bar)

i am thinking that some cable could be the issue seeing that the restoring tool cannot connect to your tablet (not even in DnX mode, so that rules out the Lollipop as in that mode you don't have Android loaded yet, but this could also be caused by improper drivers) try thinking what have you changed in your cables when you updated to Lollipop

are you using a otg cable to connect the keyboard? are you using the same cable to connect to your keyboard? i don't know your configuration...

ps. i also have the Yoga Tab 2 Pro with Lollipop on it (so it's just likewhat you have) and the keyboard is detected (by Android, your app has nothing to do with the keyboard detection, if it gets detected by Android will work on any app, if it doesn't will not work)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pawlikp100:
That is the issue, keyboard is not detected when I plugin to the tablet (no message and notification)

I use the same cable, which worked before

Yes I use OTG cable (to be more precise: These are two cables one is USB B (square typical for printer) - USB type A, and the second is OTG from USB type A to (editet: not mini but micro) A.

OTG cable seems to be ok. I checked it connecting pendrive to my mobilephone (flashing diode in the pendrive), but when I tried to connect the same pendrive to the YT2 pro using the same cable - there was no reaction (no flashing diode).

How to easily check if there is possible connection lenovo YT2 with laptop?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
just connect them using a normal A to micro-B and it should detect (i doubt you have a mini-A, A stands for host, and B stands for device)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pawlikp100:
You are right of course not mini-B but micro-B.

My tablet is not detected by desktop computer or laptop I looks like tablet hardware issue.

But from the other site, when I plug in the tablet to the laptop the battery charging process progress. (p.s. USB debbuging is on)
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
ok, so let's assume for a moment that the problem lies within Lollipop.

you should still be able to connect (to see) your tablet from the laptop using a normal A to micro B usb cable in DnX mode (when screen says "FastBoot starting...").

check to be sure that your drivers are properly installed and issue a fastboot devices command when in DnX mode, it should show your device

moreover if you cannot connect while in DnX mode there's no way to restore bios or to flash a stock rom properly

try also to boot in fastboot mode and see if you can see your device there
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pawlikp100:
I suppose it is a hardware problem.

Similar issue is described here: http://androidforums.com/threads/help-android-charges-but-does-not-connect-to-pc.846890/

Generally tablet is not detected by any other devices like laptop or keyboard ( no message prompt message)

I tried Lenovo Smart Assistant software - without success.

I reported the matter to the Lenovo service.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Samgarr:
Sorry for dumb question. I have rooted 830L with old stock ram. Is this utility way how to unroot device and get latest stock rom? Thanks.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Einwod:
It should take you to stock ROM for your device and then allow you to take OTA updates as they are available. Read and follow the instructions very carefully. It can be done.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] :
if you are still on kitkat (rooted or not, working or bricked) you don't need to restore your bios.. doh (the tool restores the bios from the x64 lollipop to the ia32 kitkat version). moreover the tool will not even work as it only works with lollipop bios (you can try it but it will hang on start and do nothing as the kitkat bios cannot load the x64 files in the tool so it will do nothing)

if you are on a altered (rooted/modified etc) kitkat and you want to go to a stock kitkat just flash the stock kitkat rom for your model (you can find the steps required here)

Hi, i tried installing xposed and somehow the device won't boot up anymore

The device shows the LENOVO BIOS but the animation never starts.

I used " [Unofficial]Xposed For Zenfone Lollipop Rom by arun483 "

Can't access the device at all, is there anyway i could just start twrp and restore my nandroid ?

Otherwise i'm gonna have to give this a go (back to kitkat)

Thx!
