    Which Surface Pro 4 issues remain?

    Thanks for the idea I'll certainly give it a try but one thing is for sure I'm currently enjoying being able to sleep it

    New SP4 firmware out

    I'd like to throw my voice in: It installed in 1 batch (downloaded) but had to restart multiple times (3 times total). I slept it at 78% last night, and 6 hours later while sleeping (3 hours until hibernate) it lost only 1-2% (77% when I turned it on, but instantly dropped to 76% once in...

    Which Surface Pro 4 issues remain?

    Yes, these new firmware updates have improved sleep a lot. I went from 78% when going to bed to 77% upon waking up, but it dropped to 76 within the minute, and since then it has been rather stable. So 2% over 6 hours is good! I'm a happy camper in this case for sleeping. :) It did require about...

    Which Surface Pro 4 issues remain?

    Yeah, so I forgot I had a second SP4, same model i5 256 8gb. I didn't even connect it to wifi. New device out of the box, it had CPU speed at around 1ghz most of the time, the same as my SP4. Either way, I reformated my Sp4 and it has the same speeds at idle... So, I'm guessing it must be a...

    Which Surface Pro 4 issues remain?

    Thanks, I'll look into this. This is actually my first SP4 that isn't giving me between 7 and 10 hours of battery life. :( Well, every device gave me about 5 hours of battery life, but with the custom profiles that put my CPU at 50% when unplugged, that always gave me 7-10! Maybe a fresh install...

    Surface Pro 4 - I feel ashamed for buying it.

    I would do a fresh start. Download the image from the Microsoft website and get that taken care of. As a rule of thumb for laptops, I always do a fresh install for anyone who is getting a new device. It usually works a lot better.

    Which Surface Pro 4 issues remain?

    Nope, that's not my case :(... I'm running a windows defender scan to see if it finds any virus's, although I haven't downloaded anything strange. In regards to the task manager, I don't see anything that could be the culprit, but maybe you could tell me of any of these stand out as ones I could...

    Which Surface Pro 4 issues remain?

    In regards to Adobe Premier, it usually happens when adding an effect or exporting the video. Someone mentioned updating to the newest beta drivers, I'll give that a try. I opened up task manager and resource monitor, and my CPU speed is ALWAYS above 1. and on idling, always under 2 (but still...

    Which Surface Pro 4 issues remain?

    I get BSOD while using Adobe Premiere CC. I use my Surface as a PC. So I install the software I need and want. Here is my list of installed applications, please let me know if you find something that is cutting my SP4 battery life: And here is a list of all my running apps as we speak as...

    Screen Flicker when <20% Brightness

    I also have the flicker issue. It happens sometimes, not always. I am now on 0%, 20% and 25%, and it's not present. But many times (even at suggested level when auto brightness is on) the screen will go very dim and flicker! So... I don't think it's something you can just say "0% and let's see"

    Which Surface Pro 4 issues remain?

    That's even worse! If it's a Windows 10 issue, that means the Surface team won't fix it. They'll just "send an email" to the Windows team and ask them to fix it... Great :(

    Which Surface Pro 4 issues remain?

    Let's see... I'd like to chime in and mention the issues I'm still having: Graphics drivers are causing BSOD on certain apps like Adobe Premiere. (intel's fault, yes, but it's MS's fault to USING Intel without having proper drivers). Skylake chip is still not letting the device go into sleep...

    What case and screen protector are you using?

    Kent's Space: ESR Case for Surface Pro 4 I just reviewed this case, and it works perfectly with the 2 different types of screen protectors I use. Each case is different though, I suppose. These two screen protectors are very different from each other, though. Both protectors are of the plastic...

    What Do You Do With the Keyboard When Not Using It on an Airplane?

    I flip it down, so it creates more room for the kick stand when I prop it up against the tray, but if I'm not using the tray, I like to just use device in tablet mode. But for the last 2 weeks now I've been using this case. I wrote a review on my blog if anyone would want to read it. Here's a...

    SP4/XPS12 for Photo Editing

    Surfaces changed my life! I love the touch screen. I often detach the keyboard and just use it as a tablet, or prod it up while I'm rowing on our rowing machine, streaming via Plex server! Love it. I also love the drawing. I'm terrible at art! Never thought I'd enjoy drawing, but I do! =D ...

    4 GB RAM SP4

    I have the SP2 with 4GB and it ran VERY well. But the most limiting thing for me was the size of the screen, so I didn't use it all too often. Now I have the SP4 and I use it A LOT. I mean... A LOT! Like, right now for example. I often turn off my desktop and just use my SP4 since it's more...
