Yes...seems to be a very common issue. The detach-reattach method is the standard MS response for "fixing" the problem; however, it doesn't repair the issue...just kicks it down the road for about 10-minutes. I'm hoping there will be some type of patch that resolves whatever connection issues...

Probably due to the RT's OS...I'm assuming the codec packs are probably only compatible with Windows Media Player running on a full Windows OS and not Windows RT. I'm sure there's something out there to resolve video playback on RT, although...

Thanks jamesk...in the past I've never been one to register CE products, but this particular item has me thinking it might not be a bad idea. Thanks again (figured it would be something obvious).

Hello All; I purchased my SP2 in JAN 2014 (less than one-month ago) from walmart (yes, from the "Devil" itself) and was wondering what the best procedure is for registering the unit with MS? Did I miss something on the initial set-up or is there a specific procedure somewhere online (or on...

My Type Cover 2 ALWAYS needs to be detached/reattached and after about 100th time it really started to become a PITA. So I returned the first one, but soon realized there's a bug somewhere when I could replicate the same issue on other SP2's. Unfortunately, the keyboard is mandatory for...

I've had the Wenger Present-o-Folio for about +6-years and it's still going strong (except the calculator doesn't work anymore...but no biggie). Purchased at Office Depot for ~$50. When I bought my SP2 I also bought the Maroo Folio; but quickly realized that the Maroo doesn't work too well...

You might try this add-on codec package (maybe there's another one that's better) or you can install something like VLC video player? Just be cautious if it asks about adding/changing search engines or including other "junk". Media Player Codec Pack for Microsoft Windows

Agreed...my Chromecast has been sitting since I realized how limiting it was to attempt to "cast" video from Chrome to the TV. Seemed really laggy and stalled intermittently, but probably the poor Wi-Fi on my end didn't help. I thought the Airtame device uses HDMI to connect to the TV?

Thanks for the heads-up...looks like an interesting device and appears to be more functional (usable) than Chromecast (although it sounds like google has just made Chromecast available for open development; so maybe someone will tweak those to work similarly)?

Thank you for the reply. I had actually used the two-button shutdown the day before to see if it would help alleviate some of the touchpad issues I've been having. Then I started to think that using the alternate shutdown method perhaps created the issues noted in today's post, but probably...

Hello; Was curious if this sounds like “normal” behavior for the SP2? Yesterday afternoon, I plugged in my SP2 to recharge. It charged for about an hour or so and then it appeared to not want to wake up from sleeping? Then I detached/reattached the Type Cover 2 and pressed the power button a...

Thanks. I want to have the same option of "Do Nothing" for the "Lid Close" power setting, but still want to maintain the trackpad gestures. Unfortunately, that's what seems to create the conflict which causes the gestures to become temporarily disabled and requires the type cover to be pulled...

Is this with the Type Cover 2? And it sounds like you set the "Close Lid" power option to "Do Nothing". I'm having a problem that when the "Close Lid" is set to "Do Nothing" the touchpad gestures are disabled and to reactivate the gesture features the type cover needs to be detached and then...

Was wondering if anyone can provide some advice as to whether my Type Cover 2 is working correctly or if it’s defective (it’s still returnable for a few more days). The following is occurring on a SP2 (128G, 4200) purchased a few weeks ago and all updates have been installed. When the lid...

Quick Update: It appears the disabling of the touch pad might have something to do with the lid closing settings. When the close lid setting is set to "Do Nothing" it appears the touch pad gestures are disabled and require the keyboard to be detached/reattached. When the close lid setting is...

Hello; Having a similar issue with the Type Cover 2 becoming partially disabled on an SP2. When the Type Cover 2 is closed on my Surface Pro-2 (128) the track pad gesture functions are temporarily disabled? The track pad side-swipe gestures do not work and the scrolling option does not...
