I am a HEAVY user of my iPhone 6+. I routinely get 15+ hours with 15% left by the end of the day. I am on that device all day long. As for this SP3 and battery life, I COULD get 9 hours if I barely used the damned thing. I don't use Chrome, as it's a hog, but I am getting between 5.5-6.5...

I purchased an additional charger for my SP3 shortly after I received it. One for the office, and one for the road. I noticed yesterday that where the magnetic portion connects to the machine, there are now wires literally sticking out. This appears to be the result of the fact that when you...

I'm trying to just run the powercfg/battery report itself but the pathway for the report does not show up. There is no report there and I am using the Admin CMD prompt. What might I be missing? Why can I not find the report in directory it lists?

Closed the lid, nothing running in the background at the time. Get to destination 3 hours later after having full battery and I'm at 92%...WTH is that all about? 8% battery drain in 3 hours of non use? When I opened it had to log in like normal so screen wasn't on at all. I don't get it

Can someone tell me how I can run one of these reports so I might also check? Thank you

Just so we are clear, I attempted to upgrade to Windows 10 but after going through the process twice, it failed both times. Now it still says the update to Windows 10 Tech Preview is still there...the idea here is for me to remove that update completely, NOT go back from Windows 10 to Windows...

So I decided to go ahead and install Windows 10 tech preview. Went through the process, but for some reason, it never worked. Said it was installing but when it rebooted I'm back to the same look as before. Start button is the same (just the windows icon lower left) and there's no difference...

I have not received an update for my system since 12/24 and yet it says it is checking. I believe this to be an error. I did switch from Windows Defender to BitDefender which seemed to help my battery but not sure if it now interferes with checking for updates. From screenshot you can see...

1 - I had ZERO issues when the SP3 first came out. ZERO. Then, as I have said countless times, when the firmware updates came in, many saw their machines perform worse, not better. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to do a little research and discover that fact. 2- I abandoned the MacAir line...

This is the kind of BS response that I absolutely HATE. Is it unreasonable to ask that a $1200+ device not have light bleed, yellow banding, sluggish response, multiple issues despite being a freaking 3rd Gen product? When did we become people that are willing to overlook some of the...

Unfortunately no...it has not. We have Google Apps for work, I use SFDC, need a plug in to upload and sync email, but it requires Chrome. I refuse to put Chrome back on my SP3. It definitely kills the battery. It would literally drain my battery almost 30% faster than without it. Until they...

I am glad that I found this. could be why my battery has been worse lately especially after latest firmware update. I also noticed a Malware process running with task manager open every so often. I am going to disable defender and look into bitdefender. I have the i5 256 version and it does...

Referring to cycling the battery? I have done that already. If something else can you advise?

I run an energy report and took screen shots of the report since I could not post it directly. I am hoping someone can tell me or interpret what is going on here because I don't fully understand what the issues are and how I can resolve them. Thank you

Take a look at this screenshot of my event viewer. The error of push notifications had popped up many times. I checked the driver for this, but it's up to date (Marvel Chip I believe)...Thought this might have something to do with it. Wondering how to check if all my drivers are up to date...

I have contacted them. Walked me through a complete wipe of my machine and redo...Didn't solve anything.

When I first bought my SP3 on release day, one thing I really loved was the battery life. I never had an issue with that. I would consider myself a moderate user. I do NOT watch videos or play game on it. It's 95% work...Microsoft Office, Outlook, Web surfing via IE (Facebook, Etc), and...

This has zero to do with Windows 10 preview but I like that clock widget you have. Is it an app in the App Store? LOL

Chrome is the absolute WORST for battery. If I leave it open with charger unplugged it's drained in 3.5 to 4 hours. They need to fix it. I use GMAIL and need Chrome to check some with SFDC extensions that I need. As it stands, I open it, check email, close it. Total nightmare.

The saga continues. After experiencing issues with battery life, I decided to reboot my SP3 from scratch, and "start over". That seemed to work for battery life. Yesterday, all the updates were pushed through...67 of them. I downloaded them all, all updates went through, no issues. Today...
