At this rate, the SP3 will probably be available before I get my replacement SP2...

I had an issue with the system process running at about 20%-30% upon waking (unrelated to the SD card issue). I "solved" it by disabling the two memory diagnostic tasks and I haven't had a recurrence since (it has been over a month) - of course, it doesn't solve the SD card issue. I have no...

I have had two SP2s so far and the hinge was somewhat loose in the second position on both of them.

I have only experienced a crash waking from sleep once or twice (wake, but black screen with backlight obviously on). I did have problems with it crashing when waking from hibernation and the display driver crashing during the sleep-hibernation transition, but I have not experienced these...

Immediately after the last update my SP2 would hibernate instead of sleep when the power button was pressed. I changed the power button action (in the advanced power settings) to "do nothing", clicked apply and then changed it back to "sleep" and clicked apply again. Now it is sleeping fine.

Personally, I think that the various battery issues are the result of widespread hardware issues that MS is desperately trying patch around. My last two SP2s always exhibited the 3% drop at 25% as well as premature forced hibernation at 8% (instead of 5%). My first SP2 was returned primarily...

My original SP2 and replacement both started hibernating at about 8% instead of the 5% it was set to hibernate at. The really wacky bouncing battery capacity did not start until the Feb update (no change with the Mar update) This is similar to my experience, except the capacity starts jumping...

Check to see if some process is excessively using the CPU. I had an issue with the system process periodically running at 20%-30% for no apparent reason (unrelated to the SD card issues), which caused my SP2 to heat up and drained the battery. After some investigation, I found that disabling...

Did you check the task manager?

I have only used the Metro version of Skype, and I have not noticed this problem. It is probably just another problem that only affects a subset of SP2 users.

Hmmmm... Smartglass is working fine today. Must have been a Xbox Live snafu. EDIT: Now it is no longer connecting..

Same here (xbox 360). I hadn't installed the smart glass app on my new SP2 until now so I am not sure when it stopped working.

Next time it wakes up unexpectedly, try running "powercfg /lastwake" from the command prompt. You can also look at the system logs to try and see what caused the machine to wake up.

Well, the March update did nothing for my battery issues. If anything, it made that battery indicator more sporadic once it drops below 22%, immediately dropping below 10% before rising back up to 21%.

Connecting my BT keyboard still causes my wifi connection to enter "limited" mode. Simply reconnecting to the AP resolves the issue.

I just did the March update. I have re-enabled the offending tasks and I am going to try and see if this update fixes my high CPU usage issues. I did not have this SP2 long before I applied the Feb update, but I did not notice problem until after the update. Of course, my original SP2 (sans...

Have you checked the task manager to make sure that there is not abnormally high CPU utilization?

Well, I may have found the solution to the problem, or more accurately, a solution to the annoying symptom of the the still unknown problem. I disabled the "MemoryDiagnostic" tasks in the "Task Scheduler". It has been nearly a week and I have not had the unexplained CPU usage. Clearly, there...

How long does it usually take for the order to be closed after MS receives the old device? My order status still says "Service center is processing the order " even though they received my old SP2 a week and a half ago. I need a new replacement due to more battery issues but the myservice says...

My last two SP2s experienced high CPU utilization upon waking. In my case, it is unrelated to the mSD card or the audio driver.
