    Too many web pages just don't work.

    I think it's something different because I never have an issue with menus on any website that I've used on an iPad. I doubt that a website like. Slickdeals: The Best Deals, Coupons & Discounts on Laptops, Computers, LCDs, TVs, Dell, HP, Apple, Amazon has an ipad specific version yet I can hover...

    Too many web pages just don't work.

    That's not true... The iPad never has this issue. For whatever reason, when you use your finger on these types of menus on the iPad, it correctly shows the secondary drop down and allows the user to select an option. I have no idea why it works on the iPad, but because it does, it makes me...

    Bit Locker Recovery Key

    I had the bitlocker issue pop up on my Surface just today. I simply booted my Surface like I do everyday and all of a sudden it loaded into the Bitlocker screen and asked me to input the password. It was a complete pain in the butt because I had to use another computer to retrieve the password...

    What does your screen look like upon hitting power button...

    If you are on the metro tile screen and press the power button (top right corner), what happens to your screen in the split second that the Surface goes to sleep? In my case, the colors of all the metro tile icons very briefly change colors as the screen shuts off. Can you confirm that you...

    Too many web pages just don't work.

    The IE browser on the Surface has a few issues when you use it without a keyboard. With the keyboard, most of these issues go away. Another big one is for hover over menus. When you use the tablet on its own, you can't hover over a menu that expands and click on any of the level 2 options. With...

    Speakers make popping/ crackling sounds on top volume

    Yes, I am seeing this issue is picking up some traction which is good. Hopefully something comes out of it soon.

    Rotation not working at times?

    Those two solutions definitely worked... thank you. The joys of being one of the original owners of a new product :) Thanks again.

    Rotation not working at times?

    Anyone else experiencing times where rotation does not work on the Surface 2? This happens to me almost daily and requires a restart to enable again. Is it a software issue or a hardware issue? Thanks

    Surface 2 Cover Chipping...boo

    I have a slight chip in the top right corner and it came this way out of the box. It is so small that I am ignoring it for now, but may look to return it before the 45 day return policy ends. The QC for this device is not what it should be. To the point made earlier, they should not have...

    Speakers make popping/ crackling sounds on top volume

    No, I just listened to the music app and I hear the same static and crackling sounds. This is now seriously concerning me... is this a bad batch of Surfaces or does every device have this issue. I have no idea how a device could be released with this issue..

    Portrait mode is awesome with higher resolution screen

    I can't stop using my Surface in portrait mode when I want to run one app at a time, the higher resolution screen makes it so much enjoyable. It's especially cool when reading the NY times, twitter, this forum, etc. Anyone else seeing this trend especially those who heave a Surface 1 and...

    Speakers make popping/ crackling sounds on top volume

    It has me worried because I don't know if I should just return the damn thing and wait a bit to buy a new one, or if this is actually a software issue. If I know for certain it was a software issue then I could live with it because I assume they will release a patch for it.

    Speakers make popping/ crackling sounds on top volume

    No files. I was listening to a video on CNET. If you watch any review on top volume you should hear it.

    SD card slot issue.

    I think it may be. I've had 5 Surface 2s and had no issues getting the card in or out. Based on my experience with this device, there are some hardware issues so I wouldn't be surprised if you are dealing with one yourself. A good way to test would be to go to a store and check on a display unit.

    Speakers make popping/ crackling sounds on top volume

    So I've joined the Surface 2 club and what a day it has been. I've gone through 5 Surfaces because of issues (loose volume rocker being the major culprit). The current one I have still has this issue, but I've decided I've got no choice here. The first Surface 2 I got this morning actually...

    Mail App in 8.1 Almost Unusable for Original RT

    The best example of how unusable the app has begun is when you have a string of emails. If you click to expand the string and then try to view one of the earlier emails, the app won't pull that email app... it doesn't react to the email you are trying to pull up....

    Mail App in 8.1 Almost Unusable for Original RT

    During 8.1 Preview, the fluidity and features of the mail app made it very enjoyable to use. On Day 1 of Surface ownership, the Mail app was horrible, and slowly through updates MS improved it. Well, with the full release of 8.1, the mail app is virtually unusable. Emails take forever to...

    Screen Problem on my Surface 2

    This just happened to me on my first generation Surface. it all of a sudden went black, the haptic response is still there, but it won't turn on. I bet this is more of an 8.1 issues than a hardware problem.

    Power/ Battery issues with Win 8.1 RT

    There is a real issue here. This past week, I've shut the type cover on my surface, went to the bed, and the next morning the battery icon showed that the batter charge had fallen by 25-30%. Something is wrong... I will point out that I never had this issue on 8.1 Preview.
