    iPad Users Habits

    The Hyper youtube app is pretty good. Though it is missing one key subscription component at the moment - identifying when a given subscription has new videos uploaded. I've asked the developer to look into adding this functionality. Maybe you could do the same. :)

    iPad Users Habits

    1. Some of the metro apps do this. facebook, for example. 2. the windows button does close the window (well, as much as home button closes a window in ios) - it brings me to the metro home screen every time. 3. This happens when typing within metro apps. 4. This happens when typing within metro...

    Problem setting default screen with external monitor

    Is the issue just the task bar? Within the task bar properties, do you have it set to "Show taskbar on all displays"?

    What's going on ,4 hours sleep costs 20% battery

    This thread had me curious so I left my sp3 unplugged last night. At about 9:50pm I was at 84%. This morning at 6:10am, I was at 82% (at 81% after just a minute or two of use). Looks like I am about working as expected.

    SurfaceForums.net Site Software Upgrade

    Maybe I am missing it, but is there no longer an indicator which identifies threads one is participating in? Edit: Ah, seems the indicator is there on new posts with new software, but did not carry over from posts made previous to forum upgrade.

    I never had a remaining time indication. Only remaining percent.

    Don't laugh

    Not sure how SP3 could replace your iphone 5? Unless you just skype, I guess. How do you read? With kindle app? If so, be aware that the Kindle app for windows 8.1 is absolutely terrible when compared to the ios version. I will be keeping my ipad just for reading as the 8.1 app is literally...

    For those who are having WLAN Issues - (Possible Fix - Tested for the last 48 hours)

    Twice now over the past day or so, upon coming out of sleep, I have no wifi network connection and cannot see any wifi networks. Windows Network Diagnostic tells me that 'windows could not find a driver for your network adapter'. Pretty sure this only started happening after installing the...

    Anyone able to create hotspot on Surface Pro 3?

    I'm really not sure. But given what you are experiencing and the fact that there does not seem to be (at least I don't have it) the 'share this connection' slider that is referenced in the link I posted above, maybe sharing isn't supported?

    Anyone able to create hotspot on Surface Pro 3?

    +1. Not clear what you are actually trying to do. You want your phone to share the surface's connection or you want the surface to share the phone's connection? If the former: Set up a mobile hotspot with your Microsoft Surface | Set up a mobile hotspot Mind you, I don't have the 'share...

    That happened to me once as well after doing a hard reboot.

    Had my first full system crash while in sleep -- might be related to Wifi?

    well, I guess if you don't keep applications open shutting down every time would be fine. I couldn't stand doing that and I wouldn't change my use cases over one incident.

    Article: Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Reveals Poor Quality Control

    Getting a 'good' machine and being a 'happy' user are not mutually exclusive. My machine has bezel separation - it shouldn't. Simple as that. So technically I didn't get a good machine. That said, it is fairly minor (hopefully it doesn't get worse) and I am indeed happy with the unit overall.

    Article: Microsoft Surface Pro 3 Reveals Poor Quality Control

    I have bezel separation along the top of the unit - when in landscape. It is not terrible, but is noticeable. I ordered mine online from MS, not sure if it is worth the effort to return and take chances on another unit. fwiw, my family has been through 4 ipads and 8 iphones and have never...

    I am seeing about 6-6.5 hours using for work. So constantly on, surfing web, outlook, word, excel. a few minutes of flash video. brightness at 30% Yesterday I tried streaming google play music the entire time (in addition to above), I was at 15% after 5 hours - so maybe would have barely hit...
