Hi all,
is there any app, that works like a tablet and connects via BlueTooth?
I want to use it when I'm typing on notebook and have to draw something (it's hard to do that with touchpad or mouse..)
is it possible to create or is it allready made?
Maybe <<
I will Google It
Hi there. For some reason I cant find Polaris Office on my tab, any other experince this or just me?
Is it just me or is Allshare REALLY bad? It is extremely slow at my PC. It is so slow that I wont use it. Besides that it cant see my Samsung television. For some reason my television can se my Samsung Laptob, but not my Galaxy tab.
Any good advice?
1) Polaris office: look in your apps between "O" and "Q." If it's not there, maybe you don't have it?
2) Allshare works great for me. If you want help, you'll have to be a bit more descriptive (what ROM are you using, which version of the tab, etc...)
I believe in US we get Quick Office PRO HD as the preinstalled app. Not Polaris Office
it is possible to use the Note 4 with Office one note?
OneNote seems to work really well with the stylus. In fact, I'd say it's better than the S Note app, although it doesn't have as many pen options.
Yes OneNote inking works in N4 and that gets synced to desktop OneNote though SkyDrive. Since Microsoft decided not to make OneNote available in my region, I had to sideload.
Hello Yoga Book XDA,
I'm looking to buy a YOGA BOOK when it's released but I have a few questions on my mind that we could maybe think about and find an answer to.
1. Do you think, given the fact that there is no hardware difference, we will see dual boot Win10 / Android through XDA developers community? I'm going to be extra excited if this is a future possibility.
2. How do you guys think the X5 Atom processor will fair? I currently have an i3 380UM laptop from 2011 - and the CPU passmark says the X5 is faster (scoring higher). So I guess it's an upgrade for me. The i3 380UM does basic Illustrator and Photoshop without much issues, so I'm very hopeful for the X5.
3. Is the 4G modem standard on the Android and Windows version? Or is it a separately priced model?
That's all for now! Perhaps other people can chime in with their questions and together we can get a Q/A thread going.
Just brought the Android version and tried different app. It's smooth and work great for movie, browsing.
Will try gaming later. Very very minor delay by using the pen, which is OK for me.
it'll be very interesting if it can be dual boot to Win/And
Have you found an alternative supplier for the paper pads?
@black818pro - How do you like the device? I am eyeing it when it's released in the US. Any chance to shoot a quick video review?
Can you use OneNote on Android to take notes on paper? Or is this limited to a lenovo app?
Hi,
I bought the Lenovo Yoga Book Android version WiFi only.
I want to set it up as a productive device (read: buy Android and try if I can do everything what I can do with Win), including MS Office, Google Docs, SSH Client for my Server Management and ez PDF Reader to read and annotate PDFs.
Drawing is not my use case.
Verdict after one week:
HW:
+ hardware is amazing, you can read in the internet
+ battery life is really good
+ keyboard is way better than expected, at least I can type on it quite good.
+ Annotating PDF in a new way: I activate the scratch pad, then I clsoe the small Lenovo Notes window. So I have the PDF on the screen and can annotate it via the still active scratch pad. This way, my hand does not get in the way of my information. Takes some getting used to, but works OK!
- it is not really possible to write directly on the screen, with Lenovos AnyPen technology, you won't have palm rejection on the screen
- the touchpad is not good. I use an external mouse anyway.
SW:
+ Android came a long way considering the use of mouse and keyboard. It really works good
+ Office suites both of Google and MS for Android get everything done that I neeed to do.
+ Switching between Pen and Keyboard mode works reliable.
- Pen in OneNote is lagging A.F.
Edit 13. October:
Actually, note taking in OneNote works perfectly fine, even with a lot of other programs running in the background. See post 16 of this thread. I just re-tested it on @ashwincr's request.

Thanks for the detailed post. I presume you can annotate Google docs and word in the way you describe?
I will check this later!
Hi, I can confirm that I can easily annotate in Word via the drawing tab. I have not found this functionality in Google Docs yet.

Thanks. Weird that Google docs doesn't respond though.
After using the Android version for a while, I dont like the Yoga Book in this configuration. I finally changed to Windows version and find it's more suitable with a keyboard like Yoga.

Can you please explain why the windows version is preferable for you? Is it a simple preference for windows over android through more familiarity with windows, or is it because the implementation of the software works better whilst using windows?

The Version with the 4G modem is a separate model. It has different model numbers
Without 4G (Android) : YB1-X90F

Thanks for the detailed review. So I assume the pen works but is laggy in One Note on Android. I plan on using this a lot for note taking with the pen on the notepad. As long as the notes are captured correctly in OneNote, I am not too concerned if it is laggy. My requirements are for my hand written notes to be captured correctly and later archived in OneNote. Do you think the Android version with One Note will work for this scenario?
ashwincr, I checked OneNote performance once again and found out that it works perfectly smooth.
I made a short screencast of it. I think your use case should be covered! BUY! (no I do not work for Lenovo)

Best chance at the moment is probably to unlock the bootloader, pull stock recovery and with those files port CWM recovery for this device. Then you should be able to flash unsigned files, e.g. SuperSU.
It's quite simple to unlock the bootloader using fastboot, porting CWM...well yeah....anybody out there whose capable???
Anyone had success using the drawing portion of the tablet on another pc?
I have the windows version of the yoga book if that helps
VirtualTablet
Concept VirtualTablet is software application set that receives stylus pen input from tablet devices such as Samsung Slate 7, Galaxy Note, Ativ, and Microsoft Surface and then transfer these input …
