Lenovo Lynx K3011 Owners Thread
- Thread starter itsnotmeatall
- Start date
Have you updated all the drivers or are you still running the ones that came out of the box? I wonder if it is a driver/software issue or if they fixed the problem on newer keyboards.
Certainly a lot of people on various forums report this issue.
I'm using the drivers out of the box:
Driver Provider: Microsoft
Driver Date: 6/21/2006
Driver Version: 6.3.9600.16384
Digital Signer: Microsoft Windows
The manufacture date on the sticker is 13/01/24 (Jan. 24, 2013).
Yeah that must be it. I had tested the keyboard in the shop (being aware of the issue thru forum reports), there were no dropped keystrokes then. After which I went home and upgraded everything I could. I've had the problem ever since.
The issue must be in one of the newer drivers.
I apologize for digging up an old thread. I was having a lot of issues with my Lynx after upgrading it to Windows 8.1 I purchased it second hand from craigs list and did a full wipe and installed my own copy of Windows 8 pro on it. I used the Lenovo Lynx 8.1 driver pack listed in the help and support section of their website for this product. I still had tons of display issues, the device lagging properly, not playing videos properly, wifi issues, etc... I did a bit of digging and found a full driver pack for the Atom Z2760 that the Lynx uses. Coincidentally it was also provided by Lenovo but for their ThinkPad Tablet 2. It's the Intel platform drivers for the Atom 2760 straight from Intel. Since I installed that, my Lynx has been running amazingly well. Battery life is much better and the wifi issues are all but gone, though I can't comment on the bluetooth/wifi issues. That was a separate problem. I figured I would post this here because this thread was kept coming up many times on Google in the first page of search results. I figured others might stumble on this and get some use out of it.

Actually as a clovertrail device you cannot install anything but windows
Intel firmware locked clovertrail chips to *either* android or windows depending on model. You can't disable secureboot on them, you can't disable UEFI.
Even baytrail is proving problematic.
okay thanks
someone who own the lynx got a alternative for the keyboard dock?
it seems that you cant get the original anymore..
i searched a lot, but cant find a keyboard dock where you can stick the tablet in.

I don't know if this is still completely true though I'll add I'm not willing to try it either. I don't have a USB hub laying around. It was once true that clovertrail didn't really support nix. But since the introduction of haswell, nix has been incorporating those power management features into the kernel. If I understand properly, Haswell does kind of the same thing that clovertrail and bayfield do to use less power.
I could be wrong on this. I'm just saying that the original thought that nix won't work on atom may not be true anymore. Technically, atom always supported nix, but only the medfield single core versions.
This is an issue related to clovertrail only. For reasons unknown intel locked the UEFI out so it cant load anything but windows. Its nothing to do with linux not supporting power management features, its a case of the device being firmware locked to not allow it.
Atom chips prior to clovertrail can run linux. Bay trail chips can run linux although there are a few kinks with drivers which need to be worked out.
Makes sense. I only did some light reading on the subject. I wasn't aware they killed it at that level.
Got anybody issues with using bluetooth and wifi at the same time?
when i use bluetooth, it semms that it kills the wifi connection

The Lenovo Lynx is not exactly a hot-selling item worldwide, and so naturally there is not much discussion on this Windows 8 tablet on these or other forums.
There are however a few threads on XDA about one or other issue relating to the Lynx, so I thought of creating a thread where all of us could come together and share problems, solutions and tips.
I'll start off with some useful links:

You should already have done the free upgrade to Windows 8.1 (if it didn't come preinstalled) For those who did not do the upgrade, here are a few useful links after you do the upgrade from the Windows store.
Intel Video driver for Windows 8.1 (32-bit) - IdeaTab Lynx K3011

And here is how to get into the Lenovo Lynx Bootmenu/BIOS Setup:

Congrats on your purchase. If I were you I would try and find the lynx dock for it... you get an additional battery (it adds 4-5 hours easy) two full-size USB ports, and a trackpad (trackpad is kinda jumpy, though), and you can easily work with the docked tablet in your lap, or tilt the screen at any angle you like.
Getting a keyboard folio won't have all these conveniences.
Do let us know all your impressions of your new tablet.111
COnsidering its a clovertrail device and you can load linux onto clovertrail I think skeptical wont be enough to cover my opinion on this matter...
