I got my S3 couple days ago, after almost 1 year using an i5 SP3 24-7 (work and personal use). I really liked the kickstand on my SP3, but I have always been worried of opening it completely. It was making noises, it was wobbling, sometimes cracking, and to be honest, I was afraid to damage it...

Ok thanks for the explanation ;)

What's the reason of a timing hole ? Processor related I guess ?

Maybe something related to the Hello/Passport features in the upcoming Win10 ?

As long as my Pro 3 doesn't do it, I wondered why my S3 does it. But I agree with you, it's not an annoying issue. Thanks for your answer.

Hi there, Is anyone else having this issue (if it's an issue): front facing flashlight blinking when turning on or off the device. If yes, how to solve it ? Thanks!

I couldn't agree more with you.

I had exactly the same thing with my first SP3. It was driving me crazy. At the beginning it was a little background sound, and after 4 months it became much louder. I eventually exchanged the device (I also had bad screen bleeding). A "normally" balanced fan doesn't make this mosquito noise...

questions: did you check the task manager activity when your fan is on ? What does it say ?

Ok guys, thank for your answers.

He just moved your thread to the appropriate section. Don't worry !

Just give a try to geany+MinGW. I can help you to set it up if you want. It works very well, I use it every day.

Hi, I use geany (https://www.geany.org/) as an editor and g++ (http://mingw.org/) as a compiler. It works perfectly, it is very light and you don't need a big whole package just to run C++.

Hi there, I need an advice concerning a trouble with my SP3. Since day 1 my SP3, which is already a replacement device -- my original SP3 had screen bleeding -- has a strange and quite large mark underneath the screen. It is not the circular mark that we've seen on some devices, but there is a...

Thanks for your answer @benjitek !

Hi there, is anyone using this keyboard ? If yes, how is the experience on the Surface Pro line ? http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msca/en_CA/pdp/Microsoft-All-in-One-Media-Keyboard/productID.298056500 Thanks.

Thank you @GreyFox7 for sharing. Really interesting.

This is actually the main con of Win10. Tablet mode is pointless, I totally agree with you. By the way, yesterday I read something interesting about how Win10 could become an open source OS. That could be the best idea MS had for a long time.

I am a very long term Linux user, and I've read somewhere that someone already did it. But I can't remember where. Maybe on the Ubuntu forum. You might find usefull advices by finding out who it was and contacting him. Ubuntu doesn't support touch, but I can't see why it shouldn't work.

Well, the Windows button in Win10 was useless for me because the tablet mode is not a real tablet mode yet, and I was never using it. Using a desktop oriented OS in a tablet mode feels weird and very annoying. And the stupid taskbar that doesn't go away is one of the main reason. With Win 8.1...
