Putting it in a bag was bad news bears. I upgraded to 10122 Thursday night, put it in my bag and took it to work on Friday. I got there and took it out and it was hotter than hell. I guess I need to make sure it's turned off before I put it in my bag and taking it anywhere.

Had no issues getting 10122 installed. Seeing some of the new features, I decided to jump back in as I didn't have much luck with previous builds on my SP3. Upgraded 10074 from 8.1 just fine, installed that garbage update that causes the screen flash on boot, and set it on fast ring and checked...

I don't think it's a software or app issue since I've done 2 clean installs of 8.1 and 1 refresh. I'm not sure how it could or would be a hardware or firmware issue, but stranger things have happened. I was running 8.1 on my work machine (now W10 TP) for about a year and had no issues. Just...

A way to clear tiles would be nice. Something, anything, to make it more scratch resistant or find a supplier who makes a decent screen protector. I've gone through 5 and the MS store has put them all on and within 2 weeks they're peeling at the corners. After another week or two I'm embarrassed...

So I've been experiencing this weird behavior in the Metro MSN News and Sports apps. Occasionally the main article that dominates the screen will get "stuck" for days and never change. I end up having to uninstall and reinstall the app and then it's fine again. That's only in the News app...

Dancing clowns with Surfaces? haha

I understand the staggered release schedule. My concern is more about having and promoting two different generations of devices when the SP4 is eventually released.

Just my thought or worry that with the Surface 3 being unveiled, that they would wait longer to put out the SP4 to have both a Surface 4 and Pro 4 out at the same time. Also, why not skip Surface 3 and wait to release both at the same time so there's both a Surface 4 and a Surface Pro 4? Is...

VickiFL, I haven't tried using the keyboard yet on the Band. I have the text message tile turned off. I get so many texts during the day that it's annoying and it kills my battery with it vibrating all day. One thing I did notice was that turning the Band off and on doesn't clear the information...

I've never gotten a virus using the free version of AVG in the 8 years I've been using it. I think it also has something to do with me being a safe surfer as well. I'm currently running the full version of AVG (free home licenses when I purchased the CloudCare licenses for work), and have not...

Awesome. I figured my fellow Band wearers would be as excited as I was to go beyond the canned backgrounds that MS provides. I have to admit, I was pretty impressed with how amazing the screen looks with a picture on it.

I stumbled across this app when reading an article about the Band. For those of you with a Windows Phone, just search for "Pimp My Band". I didn't buy it for $.99, I just did the "Try" option and it works great as far as being able to customize the tile colors and use a photo as your background.

I have a Lumia Icon, so I'd like to think it would most definitely work every time. However, I'm running the Dev Preview on my phone, so maybe there's some bugs effecting it working properly. My display still lights up when I connect it to the charger. Curiouser and curiouser...

It seems or "feels" smoother. I'm on the fence regarding the vibration when putting it on and taking it off the charger. Seems to be a little intense to me. I was hoping the update would fix the issue of not displaying the contact name when I get a phone call. Sometimes it shows the name...

I have the i5 256, and I haven't noticed my fan kick in when watching YouTube or anything. It gets slightly warm, but no fan. It gets a lot warmer and the fan kicks on when playing Minion Rush, Sonic Dash, and that Castle Siege game. I play Civ 5 on it as well and that game causes the fan to...

I use watch mode and because of my charging routine, it doesn't make much of a difference. I like not having to press a button to see the time. Having a "gesture" like flicking my wrist to show the time would be cool though. We are kinda beta testers as the Band is a proof of concept device as...

I used it when I was getting my hair cut haha

Every couple days I'll give it a full charge in the evening when I'm watching TV, but I throw it on the charger in the morning while I'm getting ready and that seems sufficient. sharp, I'd like to see that as well. I'm sure it's coming, or at least I hope so with a future update. r0b, thanks...

I've had my Band for about a month now and couldn't imagine life without it. I have it paired to my Lumia Icon. I guess my only gripe is having BT on my phone constantly turned on, kills my phone battery. Every few days I'll take it off at night when I know I'm going to be watching TV and give...

Hello all, Been watching the forums for about a year and a half and finally decided to take the plunge and sign up. I started out with the original Surface RT 32Gb, and got myself a SP3 in Sept. I used my student discount on the bundle. I had to call and get the actual device discounted as well...
