I would recommend buying a SP I used and getting used to the tablet system and wait until the SP4 and then wait awhile longer to get feedback on the quality ... because SP 2 and 3 have had complaints about their quality and durability. I've dropped my SP I 2 1/2 times and it landed flat on...

I had about decided Microsoft was going to DUMP Windows 10, and maybe they should. I've been beta testing since Windows 95 -- except when they decided to demand we PAY THEM to beta test and I told 'em where to shove that -- and have never seen such a long time between releases. 2 weeks was the...

Correct. I responded only because I have been using a Type keyboard for 2 years and, although it is getting a bit flaky ( is it the keyboard or the SP getting flaky? ), the keyboard itself shows no visible signs of coming apart or damage of any kind. ****

Well this morning I disabled my Avast virus protection and tried again. I got the Surface to appear on the tv but it stuck at the first image. When I changed the Surface today the picture on the tv stayed the same, it did not change. The same image was " stuck " on the screen. I tried to run...

My SPI type cover has been getting picky lately. Seems I often have to attach it and detach it and reattach it to get the keyboard to work. But no physical signs of it coming apart. If it dies I will just go buy a Bluetooth keyboard 'cause I doubt I can get a new SPI type keyboard after 2 years.

There are so many settings it does get confusing :) Yesterday I had the Surface streaming to the TV for well over a minute ... more like a minute and a half. I switched the tv to use the 2.4 ghz network then set the Surface to use the 2.4 ghz networking also. Both had been on 5 ghz. After...

bluegrass, I can stream media from my computer and NAS drive quite easily. That isn't the problem. I am indeed trying to connect the Surface Pro I tablet to the TV without an adapter. The Surface claims to have Miracast and the TV does too. I can, sometimes, get the Surface Start screen to...

I'm not sure about the band changing. As I recall there is some setting about bands for something ... don't remember exactly what it says at the moment ... but it is dimmed out and I can't change it. Never have figured out what to do to make it usable / changeable or why it is dimmed.

Doesn't the choice of frequency only apply to how it connects to your wireless network? When it goes into Mirror mode it says it is disconnected from the wireless network and won't be able to connect to the internet again until you have exited mirror mode. I will try changing it so it connect...

If it is Sony at fault, how come the Start screen from the Surface Pro appears for 2 seconds and then the TV remains in Mirror mode but the screen goes black? It seems to not be getting a signal. When it had the signal it showed the Start screen. Where did the signal go? Who is responsible for...

I have a 2014 Sony XBR55850B UDH tv and have tried for months to get the Surface Pro I to stream to the tv. I put the tv on Mirror Input and tell the Surface to project to the Bravia and, when the wind is right and I have made the correct offerings to the gods, the Start screen shows up on the...

Without Net Neutrality you will be paying A LOT MORE. That's why Net Neutrality came to be. The Internet providers wanted to charge people more to have large programs / movies streamed at full speed. They had plans to CHARGE YOU MORE. To American corporations there is no such thing as enough...

I would be surprised if Microsoft released the SP4 with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 does not appear to be even close to being ready, at least according to the last build I have -- 9926. It has been a long long time since they released a new build which makes me wonder if they aren't having major...

I think I solved it ... I hope ... time will tell if it continues to act right. I went into settings and changed the Font size from Large to Medium. I also added some tracking lists, although I don't see why that would have anything to do with it. After making the Font size change it no...

Very Interesting ... well I haven't bought a HP product in many years so I haven't kept up with them. Was just going by the ad I saw this morning for their laptop. ============

Well, I just checked it out and it makes no difference if I'm zoomed in or out, clicking Like on FB causes it to jump to the right side of the screen --- every time. I do usually have it zoomed in to make the text bigger so this morning I zoomed out to where it was barely seeable that there was...

This morning I saw a piece on a new HP tablet that is available today from HP and on Mar 15 from Best Buy that has USB 4.0. Why are Microsoft products always behind the curve?

Yes, I understand that. It is the policy of the Surface forum not to allow politics :) But life is political whether we like it or not and it is inevitably going to creep in at times. Unfortunately, I slip into political mode without even realizing it. Reckon I have a political brain. But I...

Well, in my opinion, pro-corporation right wingers is what they are. They don't want any restriction on corporations actions in any way. That isn't an insult, it is an accurate description of their economic philosophy. At least I didn't call them " knuckle dragging pro-corporation right...

And < I'm > close to crossing the line? Unfortunately, the subject IS political by it's very nature. It is impossible to discuss Net Neutrality without political viewpoints. You give me a warning about crossing the line and then proceed to post < your > political viewpoint on the issue :)...
