Questions about my T530 2 days grinding years

Hello Lenovo community.

I just received my T530 August 22

I was generally very happy with the product with the exception of

-The right arrow creak quite annoying when you press.

-Area under the buttons of the low touchpad creak when I rest my Palm over her.

Small problems, but it gets really annoying.

I expected more of the quality of Lenovo.

Any help would be appreciated.

  • Question about the need to connect every 30 days...

    I understand the need for CC programs to connect to license Adobe servers, every 30 days (or it's 99, since I have an annual license?) of re - check license status.  That said, I have a question about the timing of these connections the licence renewal.

    What happens if I happen to be disconnected so far here 30?

    With the help of Microsoft for example...  I need Visual Studio to reactivate my developers license every 30 days in order for me to develop applications Windows 8 'metro '.  If I happen to be disconnected so far here 30, I am unable to work on any apps 'metro' until I got online.  (And I don't see any way to tell him to reactivate at the beginning).

    What happens with Adobe CC?

    Suppose I have license, and I am online for 29 days.  Then, the 30th day, I find myself be in offline mode when I start one of the programs of CC.  Now what?  Does the 30-day clock 'reset' every now and then during this time, or is it really only try every 30 days, and I have to be online on that day?

  • Questions about Stor.e TV +.

    Does anyone have a contact point to raise a complaint about the lack of service from Toshiba? I spent £160 on a TV + Stor.e and did have some problems with it, as you can see from the few posts that I raised. After spending £160 on a point I don't understand why if the forum is the only option to support what he is no Toshiba engineers on this issue, who are able to answer my questions. I do not expect a 24 / 7 hotline for £160 I spent, but it would be good to know that a Toshiba engineer could answer my questions about their products. Especially since it's the second one I had which suffers from a cosmetic defect, I had to stick to feet about it as the Unit came with 4 pads ride around the box. I also have my doubts about the HDMI because it seems to be very sensitive to any movement in the area, causing the connection to remove.

    I got a Western Digital box media for more than five years and had no problem with this, the only reason why I changed, it was to make use of the connection to the local network, the HDMI connection and the fact it supported more than file formats. FSR this device was abit of a disappointment for me. So if someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

    Hello

    I can understand that you are not happy with the current situation and usually if you buy a product it should properly expect and do no problem.

    As you probably already seen here it s a user to only user forum. This means that you can speak with normal people like you and me and there is no official support from Toshiba.

    In your case, it would be best if you contact an authorized service provider or call the Toshiba UK. The phone number, you can find on the site of Toshiba UK Web:
    http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    Just give the guy a call and explain your situation. I'm sure they can give you a detailed answer and if your TV Stor.e + must be repaired or not. When warranty hardware repair is free.

    I hope I could help you a little bit :)

  • Question about the new Yoga 10 HD +.

    Hello

    A few questions about the new Yoga 10 HD + that I hope you can answer.

    I bought the former model, last year. Love the design and long battery life, but a few major questions made me return.

    • Somewhere that I've read that it can not read NTFS on USB so I guess that's the same thing with a NTFS formatted microSD card?
    • Can it read exFAT formatted microSD cards?
    • Anyone who has questions about the audio via bluetooth?
      (I know that BT is not exactly High End HiFi but the old 10 Yoga for some obscure reason - most likely a driver problem which nobody cared to fix - rang * very * worst with visibly distortion while both my phone and a Tablet noname cheap I have zero about fidelity - any of my devices bluetooth audio) I tried aptX or not)

    So to avoid buying it back it also I really I would like to see if I can get my questions answered before buy you.

    While I love the form factor and long term issues above are only two Mayor dealbreakers for me. Bad audio quality = no joy listen to spotify, local etc. MP3s. not of NTFS or exFAT = some great movies.

    My old noname android Tablet really could use an upgrade so I'm really curious it may be, or I should watch the competition and will be form factor and battery LIFE.

    Thanks in advance.

    EDIT:

    If it does not support NTFS or exFAT on microSD card have someone at - he tried ext3 or ext4?

    I mean with Linux Android root, it should be a no-brainer to support at least when it comes to royalties unlike NTFS or exFAT where it * might * have some trouble with Microsoft.

    I used a USB through a USB OTG cable. NTFS or exFAT have been recognized by the Tablet PC. FAT32 is seems to be the preference.

  • Question about phone and / or Android 1.5

    I have a question or a statement that needs confirmation. If someone could be good enough to help out I'd appreciate it.

    I am a heavy Texter and text on a daily basis, probably an average of about 250 + texts per day. Also, I noticed and I took County, after about 4 hours of texting the android keyboard and also the swype keyboard, affecting the time key to key response starts to slow down and get slow and ultimitely is unbearable to the text with. Even with the home screen and sliding screens from left to right, and as I said it doesn't happen only after some hours of use of the phone. So, I have to restart the phone and repeat for it keep to become lazy and unbearable to text with. I usually reset every morning or when I wake up. This is nothing compared to my sisters Mytouch, which is in fact older than my phone, it can affect his day at the time and not get done with the delayed touch response. I also noticed that his phone is running Android 1.6.

    Now my concern is, if I'm the only one knows this or is it due to a defective phone. What is the Android obsolete 1.5 that many people are talking about who is performing on the phone in this way.

    Basically, it's because of 3 things.

    1. history - more history, more than it takes to load. (If you wipe all messages and try again, you'll see what I mean)

    2 android 1.5 - don't know what the reason, but even on 1.6 devices SMS language delay is AVERAGE less.

    3 Swype - if you have enabled, it tends trolling more than the default android.

    It is not your phone, it's all phones Cliq/Cliq XT... 1.5 hate text messaging.

    In addition, your phone will work more effectively without a task manager. They are nice to have if you need something CF or to extend the life of the battery (no), it actually takes your phone like some processes that would otherwise, and you also have the risk of frost on the phone all together because some group programs are essential and cause the home screen all recharged after their closure. I would like to refer to this site in order to better explain.

  • A few questions about my new Z5 Compact camera

    A few days ago I bought the Xperia Z5 Compact (and updated the marshmallow) to replace my Z1 Compact and meanwhile read the manual and looked into the camera settings. Now I have 2 questions about the camera.

    (1) according to this manual, it takes an option to 'adjust the color and brightness manually. I rember having seen this option once in the form of 2 sliders, but now I cannot reproduce it more and find more options in the settings. What should I do wrong or overlooking?

    (2) I noticed that I can manually put only iso for resolution of 8 MP or less. When I put a 20 MP resolution, the iso setting is grayed and automatically the value. Is this a normal behavior?

    Thanks in advance for the answers.

    Hi @Rijnton,

    I just tested this on my Xperia X but it runs on Android M, it should be similar to the Z5 Compact (although there may be some differences).

    Color and brightness options may not be available in manual mode, but are for higher Auto and video.

  • Technical questions about X 1 carbon Touch base

    Please forgive me, I'm still recovering after the shock and frustration generated by dealing with Lenovo Tech Support.

    I recently received my X 1 carbon Touch and I have tried to understand some - I think - fundamental questions.

    As you know, to win 8, Lenovo doesn't have a custom recovery solution / owner. However, there are a score of Lenovo recovery on the machine. I'm /assuming/ this, somehow, can be used through the default / built-in mechanisms of recovery Windows, but I want to know exactly how without necessarily experiencing myself with it.

    In addition, the computer seems to be equipped with a mechanism of alternative stand-by, fast recovery called Intel or something like that. It is enabled in the BIOS and apparently makes use of a hidden partition of ~ 8 GB on the SSD. However, I find no indication of this mechanism working. There are no settings that I could find in Windows. I changed the BIOS to 'Immediately' setting in order to test the functionality, but put the computer to sleep does not seem to generate behavior that is somehow different from regular sleep.

    In any case, I would like advice or information on my questions above. I understand works the thing of recovery fast in order to decide if I want to recover the partition or not. I would also like to know my options I should never need re - install the delivered factory OS without actually crossed the steps. I would also if someone could tell me the best way to get support from Lenovo.

    / * I called Lenovo technical support with these issues. The person sponsor and those to whom I then was sent to had no idea what I was talking about. They had difficulty understanding terms like partition, standby, sleep, resume, and even software/hardware and implementation. It was suggested that my computer may be Intel and Lenovo not... They seemed to really come from an age of the computer. I asked to speak with someone who would have some basics of the machine that Lenovo delivered to me. I find it reasonable. At that time, I was told to talk to a knowledgeable person, I have to pay a fee. Seriously?

    elfstone,

    To find out how to work the various Windows recovery methods, please see this Microsoft Web site:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-PC

    The sole purpose of the recovery partition is to work with the "All delete and reinstall Windows" function of Windows 8.  If you have specific questions about the factory recovery that you can't get items from Microsoft, let me know.

    Regarding the plan of hibernation from Intel, as you noted, it takes a partition dedicated to your SSD which cannot be used for other purposes.  The only parameter in Windows is inside the application of arrangements of Lenovo in the power section.  Lenovo calls this function "in waiting for 30 days.  The only thing you can do is it turn on or off.  Here's how works "waiting for 30 days:

    1. When you close the lid, or otherwise put the system into standby mode, the system of standby for 3 hours.

    03:02 hours, the system will wake up and check things like not attached AC, wake-on-LAN not activated, USB device not attached, etc..  If conditions permit, the system will enter wakefulness of 30 days for example deep sleep.  If the system returns in normal mode to 'sleep'.

    3. deep sleep means that the content of the memory is written on the special hibernation on the SSD partition.  It is very similar to the traditional hibernation except what happens faster using methods of BIOS instead of Windows methods.  But this isn't anywhere near as fast as normal sleep/recovery.

    4. the system out of deep sleep when the cover is opened or when you press the power button.

    You have found the BIOS settings, but in fact they are ignored when Lenovo settings (and package of dependence of the Lenovo parameters) are installed on the system.  I don't really know why this design choice has been made.

    Personally, I don't see value in 30 days standby, not enough value to want to give up my expensive SSD 8 GB.  I exclusively use sleep/recovery.  The battery will last several days.  And if I'm going to be away from the computer for a long time, then I'll just stop it.

  • Recently bought a laptop computer; A few questions about the offer Upgrade to Windows 8

    I have a few questions about the Upgrade of Windows 8 offer for new computers.  I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite S855-S5268 of amazon.com, which came with Windows 7 Home Premium.  Toshiba already has a beta version of drivers and utilities for Windows 8 for the S855 on their Web site.

    (1) I bought my laptop in July of this year, and I've not yet registered for 8 Windows Upgrade offer with Microsoft.  Am I still eligible to receive the upgrade, if I sign up soon?
    (2) if I buy the upgrade through this offer, I'll be able to download an ISO file so I can burn the installation media, or do I need to upgrade to Windows 7?
    (3) if I will be able to burn the installation media, I'll be able to erase my hard drive and do a clean install of Windows 8 (which I'd rather do, I have a lot of backups of my data).  I am aware that I would probably need to provide my product key Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM during the new installation, because it is an upgrade and not a full version; This isn't a big deal, because my Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OEM product key is stuck at the bottom of my laptop.
    (4) my current copy of Windows 7 is activated by seeing my BIOS (I have a traditional BIOS, not a UEFI).  If I had to switch to Windows 8 and decide then I'd rather back in Windows 7, for example, a few months later, I'll be able to do that (I burned recovery of Windows 7 with the Toshiba utility disks, which I did), and Windows 7 will continue to activate by seeing my BIOS, even after the installation (and later remove) Windows 8?
    Thank you very much!

  • Small questions about Dataguard

    Hello

    I have a few questions about Dataguard. I'm new to DG, carry me so for the display of these fundamental questions:

    We plan to install Oracle 12 c to Win 2012 R2 with primary and physical intelligence on different physical servers. We are looking for HA solution, but cannot afford to license CARS. The two primary & Eve are going to be in the same data center connected via a 1 gigabit network. So I have a few questions related to it.

    (a) since both of our primary & Eve is going to be in the same data center with good connectivity. Can I assume that although Data guard is more DR solution, in our case it would be HA solution since we have no network latency.

    (b) is it safe to assume that where primary fails, then the day before can automatically take the role of primary education without any manual intervention, possibly using Dataguard broker?

    (c) so I understand that where primary breaks down, the existing connections transfer automatically from primary to standby db (most recent primary), but how my web based java application will know that more recent connections must be sent to the standby db Server (more recent primary)? I guess net Oracle has a provision to handle this? Who can be automated?

    (d) given that I have only 2 physical servers, can I deploy broker Dataguard on a normal PC (since it is a thin client) assuming the PC is kept in the data center and is online 24/7?

    (e) I was reading about the modes of Protection, account required to our current situation & infrastructure, I choose 'Maximum availability Mode' instead of 'maximum Performance '.

    (f) what is your point of view about Oracle integrated security? I hear too much on Oracle failsafe, because people generally go to a combination of CARS & dataguard for HA? We have a few additional storage that can be shared between the two servers, but I feel with literally no DG network latency can provide us HA.

    Concerning

    Learner

    (a) since both of our main & secondary is going to be in the same data center with good connectivity. Can I assume that although Data guard is more DR solution, in our case it would be HA solution since we have no network latency.

    Well it will not provide the level of HA that is RAC. RAC is a Transparent Application failover. With a physical standby, you need to apply some delay for a failover operation. You can implement the observer that can automate the failover and reduce the time.

    (b) is it safe to assume that where primary fails, then the day before can automatically take the role of primary education without any manual intervention, possibly using Dataguard broker?

    This isn't really the DG broker, but rather the observer you will need to implement. The DG broker automate failover. It will be the observer who "sees" (where its name) that the principal is down and initiate the failover process. To do this, the observer will use the DG broker, so it will be necessary.

    (c) so I understand that where primary breaks down, the existing connections transfer automatically from primary to standby db (most recent primary), but how my web based java application will know that more recent connections must be sent to the standby db Server (more recent primary)? I guess net Oracle has a provision to handle this? Who can be automated?

    You'll want to read on the QuickStart failover. http://www.Oracle.com/technetwork/articles/smiley-fsfo-084973.html

    (d) given that I have only 2 physical servers, can I deploy broker Dataguard on a normal PC (since it is a thin client) assuming the PC is kept in the data center and is online 24/7?

    The DG broker is required to run on the database server. The DG broker will run on the primary and standby. I think that what you're asking really anything is if the observer can run on a PC. Yes it can. However, it is probably not a good idea. A PC will not have the internal hardware redundancy, a server can have. If the PC can fail more often than to a server. And if the gods are bad, it will fail when you most need.

    (e) I was reading about the modes of Protection, account required to our current scenario & infrastructure, I choose 'Maximum availability Mode' instead of 'maximum Performance '.

    Your choice should depend on the amount of data loss is acceptable.

    (f) what is your point of view about Oracle integrated security? I hear too much on Oracle failsafe, because people generally go to a combination of CARS & dataguard for HA? We have a few additional storage that can be shared between the two servers, but I feel with literally no DG network latency can provide us HA.

    Oracle integrated security only works on Windows with a MS Failover Cluster. Real DBAs do not have Oracle on MSFC.

    See you soon,.

  • Question about compression in essbase ASO

    I have a few questions about to define a dimension of compression in Essbase ASO apps:-

    1. is it a good idea to have the size of compressor in app Essbase ASO.

    2. I read somewhere that said it would not be good idea to have the compression period dimension where months YTD neighbourhoods and quarters of the year. So should we put compression on any other dimension dynamic calc and roll ups and have less none of level 0 members stored.

    3. I have observed that when we level 0 export from an ASO application with compressed size vs ASO application with no compressed dimension, there is a difference in size of data export file. I'm not able to understand why it is so. I understand the difference between the size of data (.dat file) between Tablet app vs app uncompressed file, but do not understand the difference when the data is exported to a .txt file.

    Thank you

    (1) compression dimension is not mandatory, but it contributes to the performance. The compression dimension is a dynamic dimension. We need the column headers in a data load file. Ideal compression is achieved if the number of leaf-level members are divisible by 16.

    (2) ASO tuning is an art as much as a science.  The best choice depends on the distribution of data in the database.  and it's different in each database.  Read all the information and then test the various options.  Try it with time as the compression and then try with the next best dynamic dimension defined as dimension of compression.  I've linked a doc tuning which is version 7, but has a very detailed discussion of the dimensions of compression.

    http://www.Oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-Foundation/4822-tuning-Essbase-ASO-WP-133014.PDF

    (3) the format of the header (layout) of the export may be different when you use compression vs when you are not using compression.  It will certainly be different if you use another dimension for compression.  I expect the size of the file to edit when the compression setting is changed.

  • Question about the OS on X 1 carbon Touch

    Hi guys,.

    I seriously thinking about moving my X 61 5 years to the new X 1. However, I have some doubts about Win8 Pro (problem of compatibility, I do not know if some of my old programs scientists would be happy to win 8), which is currently the only option on X 1 carbon touch. Can I downgrade it to professional Win7 myself after I get the computer with the so-called "downgrade rights"? Can I put this back to Win8 Pro when I think is correct (and take advantage of the touch screen)?

    In fact, I can use my USB key to install Win 7 Enterprise, and I can turn it on using the product provided by my University ID. But I wonder if I can reinstall Win8 Pro and keep all my files and settings later. The installation of Win 7 will scan the victory 8 Pro preinstalled on the HARD drive?

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Thank you very much!

    Here are some answers, and they do not have something to do with the license.

    1. If you have 8 Windows media, you can reinstall Windows 8 at any time.  The activation key is burnt in the implementation of the BIOS/UEFI and it will be detected and used by the installer of Windows 8.

    2. probably Windows 7 will work fine, but frankly, you might as well try first Windows 8 and test your applications to see if they do turn.

    3. as for one of you to the last question, if you try to install Windows 7, it will most likely ruin the existing settings installation and startup of Windows 8.  Which includes the recovery partition.  Great care must be taken to implement another OS in a mode dual boot.  If I really wanted to go this route, I'd probably install Windows 7 in a way "boot from VHD. Probably, which would preserve the existing environment and the walls.

    Whatever you do, make a backup of the work environment before you start down one of these paths.  See http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=HT076024 or buy a good product like Acronis True Image Home 2013 for the backup drive.
