    How to tell if my S3 has built-in 4G or not?

    If you see " Surface modem device " in the device manager, then you have a modem. Additionally, when you go into Settings > Network & Internet, you should see options for your LTE connection. This is only available for devices with LTE firmware. If you have the LTE firmware, then you have an LTE...

    What should I expect?

    Not to be rude, but if it were normal, then the device would not be available for purchase. People can't just hold things that are to the point it's to hot to hold. Are you being a little over dramatic about it ( seriously )? If not, then no, it can't be that hot. In fact, you should notice the...

    Tracking Battery Life

    You're getting almost 8 hours of usage out of your 40~ watt hour battery and all you did was turn off windows defender ? What's your average screen brightness on ? Also, how do you manage the live tile settings ? I can't seem to find it anywhere

    Tracking Battery Life

    Yes, if you are actually getting 5 - 7 hours of usage then please, make a list, but not just a list, a place to find those settings you disabled :) Also, when you run your battery report, what does your capacity say ? I have two SP4's, one says 41 the other says 37, that's about 4k difference...

    What's a normal brand new Battery Test Report?

    This is completely normal. In fact, im suprised you didnt' have more. Some of the units that have those charge cycles were likely because QA units got put back into the batch, unintentional, but happens. Additionally, battery life cycles count in DAYS the battery hasn't been charged. So if you...

    SP4 Arriving Soon : What must I get, what must I do?

    Very true. I would suggest , simply because I know it works fine : http://www.amazon.com/Model-Passport-Portable-External-Backup/dp/B00E83X9P8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1456082074&sr=8-2&keywords=1TB+external+western+digital+drive

    testing new SP4

    You are once again missing the entire literacy understanding, use common sense please, the problem you said ISNT hardware, and now it's NOT software, so then, what it is ? you can't just keep saying " I never said ", implying something is the same as saying it. I could care less what you...

    Question on power option settings after the last Surface update

    Yes, the only way this could be accessed was if you made the regedit, but if you left the regedit on, then the device would not have connected sleep. Make the changes ( the power options you want ), save them, THEN make the regedit , THEN make the more in depth changes, then change registry...

    testing new SP4

    No I feel you, I buy tons of them, just to have. As I said though, it was just your logic I was concerned about. " I am still having "display driver has stopped working". When the new Samsung tablet is released, if reviewers aren't having all these problems, I will be getting one and use my SP4...

    testing new SP4

    That's likely because not all drivers are created equally. i have a windows 10 device with no driver problems as well, and others i have ( yoga 900 ), can't watch videos in edge, and the display driver constantly crashes. On my XPS 12, the drivers are always crashing, and the websites flicker (...

    testing new SP4

    A fix for what though? Even with money aside, you want to get something else to replace a problem that doesn't exist for the surface pro 4. You are mentioning the driver problems, so i presume you mean the WINDOWS ( Software ) drivers that are not functioning properly. This happens on my XPS 12...

    SP4 Arriving Soon : What must I get, what must I do?

    Answered inline : 1. For the mouse, I suggest this : http://www.amazon.com/Dell-WM615-Bluetooth-Mouse/dp/B00W77BKEY it'll do the same thing, and functions the same way. It works great with the surface, and does not require a USB to run. However, a USB hub will solve that if you do need a USB...

    testing new SP4

    Why that's not something related to the surface pro 4, seems a bit silly to spend so much money on hardware to replace hardware that's not broken?

    testing new SP4

    I think they want you to think it fixed most of the problems. The main problem was battery drain during SLEEP state. They still did nothing for overall poor battery performance for most people .

    Sleep Study missing drainage values and orange sleeps

    The orange is basically a " warning " , letting you know something happened, and it wasn't really " good ", or " bad ". In this case, your SP4 was in standby, and battery was drained, as it should have been, it was a sleep for a very long time, multiple times wen't into hibernation. This is what...

    New SP4 firmware out

    Very, I'm thinking more was done than just the sleep battery problem. I've been running a battery report daily for the last two weeks, I've been getting an average of about 4 hours, and 5 minutes, highest being 5 hours, lowest being 3 hours and 22 minutes. After last night, I got 6 hours, and 15...

    New Hardware Update: Is This The ONE?

    My cat hates plugs too :( However, what you're wanting does exist. It's called a phone :p But in all seriousness, I don't think we can really expect the device to act like a full fledged tablet no? The purpose of the sleep / phone type sleep is so it CAN poll in the background. However, with a...

    wake up from screen timeout with tap on screen

    Interesting theory, but the i5 / i7 models have no other devices listed. Being able to wake by touching the screen would be a nightmare for a device like this. you have to keep in mind that a yoga == laptop that flips over. It has a keyboard covering the screen, when it's closed. Our device...
