    Verification code Surface Pro 3 late

    The authenticator app also works on Android and I bet there is an iOS version too. The authenticator app is very good - you can accept/decline the code from the pull-down menu on Android, think it's called the notifications tray or something.

    Streaming video all jumpy

    I would suggest you try to stream it in Internet Explorer and see if that helps.

    PDF reader that works

    Drawboard basically has tabs like a web browser.

    Dropped My Surface Pro 3....

    As GreyFox said. Just pack it well, and hopefully they will sort it. £200 isn't too bad really.

    Apps vs Programs

    MUI apps (Windows Store) also scale better with high resolution screens than most desktop software. Office scales fine, but you will see crimes against humanity if you try to use Photoshop CS6. OneNote is available in the store and for desktop, and the desktop version has many more features...

    I got 2 hours of battery life!?

    I haven't tested them, but I get 8.5 hours with live tiles. Weather, Verge, Anandtech, News and a few others.

    How to increase Graphics Card Shared Memory

    I just want to put it out there that the 4770 is a much more capable CPU than the ultrabook CPUs you find in the Surface line.

    How to increase Graphics Card Shared Memory

    This isn't something you can change, and it's not something you would want to. It's a tablet, not a gaming rig, and more memory to the GPU won't help it to play games.

    I got 2 hours of battery life!?

    I don't think so. In my experience, when using nothing but pen and OneNote, I've had my best battery life.

    LG Ultrawide 3840x1440 and SP3?

    It's one 4k or two 2k's daisy chained. I don't know how 1080p fits into that, but I think HarnessTech is going to find out.

    I got 2 hours of battery life!?

    If you use Chrome, you will not reach 9 hours of battery life. Chrome is horribly inefficient, and that's something Google needs to fix. They acknowledged it being a problem a few months back, and are apparently working on it. As for playing videos, I highly recommend using the Video app where...

    I got 2 hours of battery life!?

    Ok, first thing is to stop panicking. The problem is most likely that you have only just got it, and new computers aren't perfect out of the box. You will have 100+ updates and they will come in several packages. So go and update, restart, check for updates again, check again, check again, and...

    Annotating PDFs and using onenote at the same time

    Aside from Drawboard, as Jose said you can print the PDF to OneNote but you must print to OneNote 2013. From here, you can annotate it like you would annotate a print-out version. Just be aware that by default, OneNote will create a new page for every page in the PDF you are printing. You can...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Have you checked what resolution you are using?

    Surface Pro 3 won't hibernate after connected standby

    To shut down, I just click the power icon in the top right on Start, and shutdown there. I can't remember how long it took exactly, but less than a week. I also had a recurring pattern though - my issue was only present every other day. Shutting down seemed to reset that cycle so it never...

    Surface Pro 3 won't hibernate after connected standby

    Actually, I remember what fixed it. Sorry, tired here too. I solved it by shutting down my SP3 every night. This isn't to limit the CS time by cutting the power - after doing this, my CS sessions were back to low power consumption and auto-capped themselves at 4 hours. I was shutting down each...

    Any power when you unboxed?

    Mine had some charge in it. If it's dead out of the box, better give it a few full 100% charges and complete drains - it will help with battery readings.

    Surface Pro 3 won't hibernate after connected standby

    Not necessarily waking the device, but just preventing it from going into deeper sleep. I believe what the OP is explaining is similar to the issue I've had, for about a month or slightly more, after which it randomly stopped. In my case, the device would enter CS and stay there for as long as...

    One Drive Default PDF Reader Question

    Then I would say that's just how it is unfortunately. I agree, it's not ideal - perhaps use Explorer instead.

    One Drive Default PDF Reader Question

    Go to open with, and select your default app. Now when you left click, it opens with that app. If you want to use another app, go to open with, and un-tick the box. Hopefully the box will then stay un-ticked, and each time you want to open with another app, you can just open with and click the app.
