Is your continuum working on your 2-in-1 or tablet?

[rhapdog]

We've heard reports about continuum being a bit buggy in these early stages. We'd like to hear from you.

What's working, what's not. What device are you using. (Naming your device may help someone else with the same device find a solution.)

Have you needed to download new drivers for continuum?

While my laptop 2-in-1 has the capability, I've not been able to experience it as I am still waiting on Lenovo to provide the drivers for my particular model. I'm hoping it will be soon, as I look forward to being able to test this out.

Continuum appears to work well out-of-the-"box."

Its coming from the default Lenovo loadout, minus some obvious unneeded software doohickeys.

Will continue testing.

Drivers for my model have finally been released. Now Windows 10 wants me to be on a non-metered connection before I start downloading and updating. I'll make a trip to town tomorrow.

Continuum doesn't seem to work on my Asus T100 even after a clean install.

You need to not only check for drivers on the Asus support site, you should check to see if there is an updated firmware. Many 2-in-1s are requiring new firmware in order to work with continuum.

Continuum feature does not work on Asus T100TA.

It needs new BIOS to work propperly, hopefully soon.

If You have T100TAF or T100TAM there is new BIOS for these models, go to asus.com/support for update.

There is also a bug in current T100TA BIOS that registers screen size as 10,4" (instead 10,1").

So new Office Mobile aps don't work as freeware (they require Office 365 sub.).

This is something that needs to be brought to their attention as soon as possible, and let them know it is costing software compatibility with Microsoft Office, makes the T100TA useless. Something like that seems to be a simple "typo" type bug, and should be an easy enough fix.

Hi Guys,

I have HP HP Pavilion 13-a020nc x360 Convertible but as I turn the keyboard over I don?t get any automatic switch to tablet mode. And still no drivers for that I presume.

Anyone else same issue on HP?

I've contacted Asus Support 2 days ago, still no response

My T100TA came with full Office 2013 Home and Student, so at least it's not completely useless

Bummer! Keep on trying. I worked trying to contact AMD about a faulty processor for 3 months, never a response. Now I've got Intel. But every other manufacturer I've ever contacted has been quick to respond and always fixed my issue quickly.

Nice! Love Office 2013. Gonna love 2016 as soon as it comes out.

ASUS published a new BIOS (208) in mid July that included support for Continuum, and they also published an updated ATK package (basically sort of an all-in-one support package for Windows) on July 23. With these two Continuum works like a charm on that device. First time I undocked it Windows bluescreen'd on me (great start, right?) but hasn't caused me any troubles ever since. As we speak, however, the ATK package is only available for 32-bit Windows 10.

From what I've heard the T100 series does not support Continuum yet and it's not yet clear whether or not it ever will.

 

[mate_glavina]

So, I've just got reply from Asus... pretty disappointing one :unhappy:

(written in Croatian/Serbian)

Poštovani,

ako bude novog BIOS-a biće objavljen na asus globalnoj stranici.

Sa poštovanjem

Basically saying: "in case of new BIOS, it'll appear on Asus Global website".

No ETA, no confirmation there will be new BIOS, nothing

My wife and I have similar Sony VAIO 13 2in1s. Continuum is working on hers and not on mine. Based on the troubleshooting I have done, I am starting to think that this may be an issue between Windows 10 Home and Windows 10 Pro? I have listed below what I think are some key data points for each of our laptops. (My wife's laptop stats are listed first - this is the laptop that Continuum is working on). The only big thing that stands out to me here is our OS version. I have also uninstalled and re-installed all the sensor/graphics drivers I have listed below on my laptop with no luck. (Are there other drivers that could be part of this "system"?) For those replying to the thread can you also indicate if you are running Windows Home or Windows Pro to help with this theory?

Continuum works on my Surface Pro 3, but it's a little flaky. Because I use it a lot without the keyboard, I like to set the scaling at 200% (please Intel, give me more 3x2 resolutions!!) with the taskbar on the side, which makes it much more touch friendly for me. The problem is, as I go between docked and undocked, the taskbar width changes itself if I sign off before the switch. If I switch first, then sign off/on (which you have to do because the various screen elements don't resize properly) it usually works right, but not always. If I leave scaling at 150% or the taskbar on the bottom or top, the problem doesn't occur.

There's something more at play here. I have 10 Pro on my 2-in-1 and Continuum is operational.
Maybe compare the list of installed programs and devices?

Continuum works on my Asus TP500LN. I had to install the old ATK driver version as the new version for Windows 10 has portrait mode flipped upside down.

 

[PabloChesterfield]

I have an ASUS T100TA
I upgraded BIOS to build 314 as suggested.
However, the thing that activated Continuum was downloading the latest ASUS ATK Package for Windows 10:
- Version 1.0.0039
and installing it.
