    Firmware updates slowly being rolled out???

    This went away for me after I did a few updates...btw... everything seems to be working fine now. Mail app is much improved for syncing. Also, connectivity after coming out of hibernate seems better.

    Firmware updates slowly being rolled out???

    I installed the latest firmware manually. I also have the Win 10 cumulative update. Now every time I run Windows update, it tries to install 7/23/15 hardware update, and fails. hmmm

    Slower wake-up - why?

    I read that the Surface 3 goes into Hibernate after 4 hours of non-use. This causes it to wake up slower. The machine is basically restoring everything off the SSD. For less than 4 hours, the Surface 3 is in Connected Standby. It should be almost immediately, like an ipad, Android or...

    Slower wake-up - why?

    Not true. Asus t100 is much faster than Surface 3 for waking up . It was comparable to ipad.

    Slower wake-up - why?

    I'm kind of bummed with the slower wakeup time on the Surface also. Asus T100 was much faster (Like Android or ipad). I think because it had connected standby. Surface 3 seems to go into a deeper sleep mode to get the advertised standby time.

    Surface 3 Charging

    I wonder if the S3 charging is similar to the Asus T100 that I used to have. There were issues with chargers, but also with cables. Some cables seemed to charge the device faster than others. Not sure why. Portapow made a Faster Charger cable that always seemed to work well. I am using...

    Mouseover?

    For some websites with pull-down menus, I've found that if I hold my finger on the pull down menu, it creates a context(right click) menu using IE Metro. Then if I cancel out of this menu, then I can select from the pull down. Not the same thing though. It is kind of weird that there isn't...

    Issue Accessing SD Card

    I noticed that on my Surface 3, there was some kind of restore procedure that was still semi-inprocess from D: in the recovery section of my device. D: was also the drive assigned for my MicroSD. It wouldn't let me use File History. I'm assuming this was from when they created the factory...

    Surface 3 Pen

    Actually, the Silver Surface Pro 3 pen is the same thing. Same Part # and everything as the Silver Surface 3/Surface Pro 3 pen. There is a difference though. The new packaging (which can only be identified by looking at the box) includes a pen loop. This is because the Surface 3 doesn't...

    Love it but it keeps freezing

    This doesn't happen to me. Maybe its something you are installing on it? or maybe you've gotten 2 lemons.

    Keyboard choices

    Went to the Microsoft retail store near me. I guess their stock is newer. The surface pens at the Microsoft store all came with the Pen Loop, even the Silver one.

    Keyboard choices

    Went back to Best Buy. Looks like the Silver pens, that are for the Surface Pro don't have the loop. The other colors that came out for the Surface3/pro3 all have a picture of a loop on the back and say they come with the loop. Not sure if there are any silver pens that come with a loop, but...

    Probably Returning Surface 3

    I came from an Asus T100. Charging on that was actually slower than the Surface 3, so I find the Surface 3 to be better. Battery life on the Surface 3 isn't as good as the T100, but it isn't horrible for me. The T100 never hibernated though, so I guess I would have expected the Surface 3 to...

    Keyboard choices

    Awesome. So if you get a grey pen and a black keyboard like me, you are screwed.
