It's interesting to me to read so many complaints about low speaker volume. On my SP2, I have the volume typically set to 4, occasionally to around 12 if I'm in my office and the air handling is going. I have no problems hearing it. The fidelity is for crap, sure, but for that I have a pair of...

The reason I have a SP2 is that I needed to deliver a high priority presentation (in PowerPoint) in very short order, compounded by my having a completely FUBAR calendar that week. The only way I could squeeze in the time to generate the content was to have full-blown PowerPoint available in a...

WIndows key + S to bring up Search. Then search for "Date and Time Settings". If "Set Time Automatically" is turned on, make sure you have the right Time Zone selected in the drop down box. If "Set Time Automatically" is not turned on, then click on the "Change" button right under "Change date...

What is that date/time tile? I can't seem to get mine (the default Calendar app, I guess) to display the time. I have to swipe in to get the charm bar and the time/battery/wifi popup. A tile that shows the time would be nice.

I should have posted a follow-up. It works fine, just not with touch. Using the trackpad on the Type 2 cover or the Logitech T630 BT mouse, everything works as expected. I wonder if they'll ever update it for touch. At any rate, all is good (but not touch-enabled).

When I did the (first two) resets, I did a full "treat this like a new PC" restore to factory defaults. I did not keep anything (there wasn't anything locally worth saving), so the profile should have been completely removed and, thus, not the source of a corrupted profile. I would think...

There was no active indication of indexing going on. Maybe it runs in the background, though. The SD card was not removed until just now (for yet another reboot; also disconnected the Type 2 cover and power...no change). I don't believe it was powered off during a firmware upgrade. The last...

The first week and a half with my SP2 (8gb/256gb) were great. This week...not so much. I've completely restored to factory twice due to stability issues. Now I have a new problem. When waking it from sleep last night, everything was fine. I tried to launch the TuneIn Metro app, which opened...

I know, right? First world problems at their finest. :\ It's not the worst "problem" to have, clearly. Just a PITA to have to keep track of another device, another charger, move SIM cards. If my employer-funded/managed smartphone didn't have the hotspot capability blocked by the enterprise...

I should have put in the <wishful thinking> tags. The only issue I have with my SP2 is that I have to carry a hotspot when I'm not at home or work.

If they drop a Surface Pro 2 256GB with 4G in the next 20-25 days, I'll be leveraging my 45-day return option to upgrade.

I picked up the Maroo Kope leather folio case for the Surface Pro 2 a couple of days ago. The SP2 fits very well in it, with the Type 2 keyboard cover attached. It looks great; very professional. Only complaints are that the stylus doesn't snap in to the magnet port (one of the silicone corner...

Both my SP2 and Type 2 cover are less than a week old. I've only had the Type cover pop off once when folding it back. Oion's suggestion to fully remove it and flip it around hadn't occurred to me (yet). I dislike the feeling of the keys on the back of the Surface when I have the cover folded...

How long does that power your SP2?

Just unboxed my new Surface Pro 2 and installed Steam. Hero Academy fired right up, but I cannot make any move. The UI responds to button presses for Play, game selection, etc. However, I'm not able to move any pieces. Has anyone else seen this problem in HA specifically, any other Steam games...
