I resetted my miix today so i was able to figure out if the miracast has really differences in function without all the updates. O can confirm it is like that. With stock OS thwre is duplicate screen working. What i found out is that with stock OS it is in portrait mode and shows the screen in landscape so half of the screen is used on the lenovo and full screen on the miracast device which is not optimal. I decided right now to install all updates from microsoft again an stay with the fucked options which only can access extended screen. This is really poor so o have to wait for optimized drivers from lenovo.
Lenovo Miix 2-8 Bios Firmware Update
Yesterday i found in a chinese forum a bios firmware update for my miix. First i tried to download it and after 10 tries i stopped and get to my favourite blog from Sean Chen and voila he already had a package of this up. i downloaded it and mit braveness i startet to install it.
on the lenovo Support homepages worldwide there is no information about an Update so i think it is an unofficial built. but for that i saw since yesterday it does a quite good job.
since there is no official changelog i have to collect informations about this update.
so the screen brightness is now adjustable for lower light conditions. before it was too bright so some customers get problems with that.
what i found out before this update the microsd card was recognised by the device sporadically. Now it accesses it right after inserting.
So the Firmware i had before was 1.05 and now it is 1.07.
for those like me who can read chinese 😉 this is the link to the chinese forum http://ideapad.it168.com/thread-4991778-1-1.html
Miix and Bluetooth
For long time i am proud owner of an Sennheisser MM550 Bluetooth Headset. Right now i found out that my Lenovo Miix 2 is the first Full Windows device that recognise it without any problems. Music from VLC will straight go to the Headset if you connect it. Thats nice. I will do some tests with skype and hangout with this to see how it will to there. stay tuned.
