Well, just an update on this. I forgot that I had hyper-v enabled on my system as I was playing around with a VM of Windows 10 before. I disabled that feature and the connected standby started working as it did before. So now my SP3 "turns off" and on like my phone when I press the power...

Interesting. Where did you pick that up? Got a link?

Try MetroTube. Works great and is simple to use.

You can never fully idiot proof a program because there are simply too many of them out there and you will never think like them, so you can't imagine the stuff they will do to find ways to blame you. That's probably the biggest reason why I never got into software development...

When she imports a CD, it updates her local library and saves the imported media onto her laptop, so the library file on her laptop is NOT empty anymore.

No, just your iTunes media folder. For those who have the iTunes media folder hosted on a cloud solution, what happens when you open iTunes while NOT connected? From what I understand, it will create a new local iTunes library and media folder and be blank. I have my wife's iTunes setup with...

I've had my iTunes library on my sdcard since I got it. Managing the iTunes library is fairly simple if you go through the steps once.

Me too (work device anyways).

Glad you were able to get a new one. You will NOT be disappointed once you get it fired up.

I turned it back on today, but it still doesn't look like it's doing the right thing. I think at some point I enabled hibernation through the local group policy. Does that have to be off for CS to work properly? I'll check that out after I confirm that CS is working properly on my SP3.

I will try to time it, but I do see that it goes to the Surface boot up screen and then it comes up, it's not instant like my phone. Does everyone else's SP3 wake instantly like your phone?

Actually, the power button on my phone does exactly that. It shuts off the screen, but the device is fully on and not in a sleep or standby mode. When I did have connected standby enabled on my SP3, it would go into sleep mode and take like 10-20 seconds to "boot" back up. I hardly call...

I have the pen loop that came with the type cover but I don't like how it looks and it feels way too floppy to hold the pen securely during transport. I have a sleeve for my SP3 and it fits snugly in there and I don't want to have to get a bigger sleeve to fit the pen/penloop.

I HAVE disabled CS and it still doesn't work the way I want it to. I want to be able to hit a button or menu option to turn off the screen WITHOUT putting the SP3 to sleep instead of having it time out after a while if idle.

ChrisPanzer, I've been watching this thread and thinking the same thing that it would be a great feature, not for a "boss key" idea to hide your screen, but for power savings, while keeping the SP3 but not letting it burn the battery with the screen on. Sometimes, I'm using the SP3 on the...

It works for non-AMD/NVIDIA chipsets as well?

I went back three drivers and still nothing. It's kind of annoying since the WDA works great work my phone but can't get it working with the SP3 which is why I bought it.

Tried that. It seemed to have broke the connection to the WDA. I removed all the old drivers and even the new one and reinstalled the new one and still no go.

There's the issue. How can you update it if you can't connect to it? I already tried connecting with the MUI app and the SP3 doesn't find it.

I do have to admit that the wifi speeds are super fast now and they have FINALLY resolved the wifi hibernate problem. Yay.. fix a few things, break another.
