    Is it okay to buy now?

    It seems like there are still a lot of mixed reviews in this forum about the SP4. I actually bought one when they first came out - I got the i5 256 gb model, but sold it after having issues with short battery life and graphic driver crashes. I purchased a 2016 MacBook M7 which is Apple's maxed...

    Bluetooth headphone problems?

    Thanks! I guess that's good that my system isn't broken. Seems weird because my Plantronics AD2P mono headset connects every time but my Bose and Jaybird headset are a hit and miss. I'll try following the instructions next time it happens and see if it works.

    Bluetooth headphone problems?

    After the firmware update (as well as before the update), I paired multiple headphones and BT speakers and noticed I could be playing some music from the built in speakers and notice the music never automatically switches to the BT device even though my headphones state they are connected. I...

    Firmware Update

    So I really don't want to sound like I'm hating here, but I was watching a video on Amazon using the Edge browser. I walked away for about 15 minutes, came back and the video stopped and will not resume. I tried closing out the browser but it would not close. I also noticed that the screen...

    Article: SP4 & SB Firmware Updates Released 1/22/16?!

    I guess I could update the drivers manually from Intel but I would rather get them from MS so everything works as intended.

    Firmware Update

    I don't know about you guys, but battery life seems to be the same. I went from 100% to 92% in 15 minutes just browsing on the Edge browser for about 5 minutes and walked away. The battery indicator states I have 5 hours and 32 minutes remaining. That just doesn't seem right. I should be...

    Article: SP4 & SB Firmware Updates Released 1/22/16?!

    I can't handle the constant Intel graphic driver crashes when using Microsoft's own Edge browser. You think they would get this working correctly. I have to use Chrome which turns my fans on. So this firmware update does nothing to address the graphic driver issues?

    Firmware Update

    Great news! I was staring at Apple's site looking at the MBP line but I really just wanted MS to fix the issues so I can enjoy my SP4!

    Starting to get really frustrated!

    Okay, cool! It seems like my device is working normal again. Do you think the firmware update will include the latest Intel driver fix? If so, I can live with the problems until then.

    Starting to get really frustrated!

    Is MS coming out with any stable fixes soon? I just had multiple Intel graphic errors using the stupid edge browser and so I switched to Chrome. Now Chrome just crashed on me. WTF is going on with SP4? I love the hardware but what good is it if it keep crashing like this? I shouldn't have...

    Micro SD card in SP4

    Thanks, I'll keep it in for now but will keep it out if I start noticing more than the usual funky things going on.

    Micro SD card in SP4

    Just a quick question which I think was answered before; however is it safe to keep the Micro SD card in the SP4 when shutting down and booting up? I remember a post when I had my SP2 that leaving the SD card in the system could cause performance issues.

    Trouble downloading store app

    I was trying to download Disney infinity 3.0 from the Windows store multiple times - it changes the download size from 14 gb to 34 gb and eventually stops at .3 gb. Other apps download fine. Is this an issue with the app, Windows store or something else. My SP4 works fine and I have fast...

    Solved New Netflix app does not work properly on Surface Pro 4?

    I finally got mine working. I had to uninstall and reinstall a couple times, do a couple hops on one foot and spin in a circle, but it works now!

    Which Surface Pro 4 issues remain?

    Here's my list since I unwrapped it on 12/31: Short battery life - for instance right now with just typing on this website, I'm at 100% and only 5 hours and 34 minutes remaining. I'm using MS Edge so maybe that's part of the problem? Intel Graphic Driver failures. Keyboard not responding after...

    Routing audio through Bluetooth Speaker?

    No. I also rebooted my SP4 and it doesn't route the audio. I double checked again by going to all settings, Bluetooth and it shows that the Bose Color Soundlink is connected. When I right click on my volume icon and go to playback devices, it shows the device but it states it is not connected...

    So irritating! sp4 typecover never responds after wake

    Yep. But a reboot fixed it for me. Can we add that to the list of fixes that MS will apply hopefully?

    Routing audio through Bluetooth Speaker?

    I paired a Bose Color Soundlink BT speaker yesterday to my SP4 and all my audio routed through it as expected. Today when I turned on my speaker, it kept saying that it connected to my Sp4 immediately. When I tried playing audio, it only plays through the internal SP4 speakers. I show that my...

    MS website claims up to 9 hours of video?

    I don't know if this makes a difference, but I was streaming Amazon video through the Edge Browser. I had nothing running in the background that I was aware of and did not have any other applications open. I wonder if they got 9 hours by just running a regular .MP4 video without streaming?
