I just got my friend (who has a SP3 for himself and a SP3 for his wife) to try connect his SP3's to his own Roku 3 with Miracast and they don't work either :(

Hi GreyFox7, thank you for your reply. According to the instructions on connecting a Miracast compatible device to the Roku, a password is not required. See http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows-8/project-wireless-screen-miracast

Roku 3 now supports Miracast. The Surface Pro 2 is fully supported with Miracast - http://support.roku.com/entries/56698214-Roku-screen-mirroring-compatible-devices but I haven't been able to get it working. It detects the Roku as "Roku 3 - 843" in the wireless display section but when I try...

Can you provide a screenshot for the System Tweaks section. Thank you.

Very nice post. Can you let us know if frame rates have improved in games. Say DOTA 2? Maybe a before and after FPS?

I was in bed reading some news on my SP2 and noticed a faint electrical buzzing sort of sound coming from my SP2. I then put my ear to the rear of the SP2 and could hear the buzzing very clearly. I left it turned off (full shutdown) for a day then turned it back on but the buzzing is still...

You have to uninstall the old generic driver first from device manager then you can install the new Intel driver.

Agreed! always plug in your power adapter when doing gaming. Reasons: 1. You will kill your battery very quickly (as in it will only last 1 to 2 hrs) 2. When your Surface is plugged into power, the CPU/GPU running mode changes to max performance, meaning you will get a lot more FPS

Trust me, the steps below will fix all your driver issues. I had the same problem where it wouldn't let me update to the new driver. http://systemsadminguy.wordpress.com/2013/11/16/how-to-update-surface-pro-2-recovery-image-drivers/

This will solve all your drivers issues. You have to inject the drivers into the recovery image before you reset. Trying to install new drivers after the reset will not work. Systems Admin Guy | How to update Surface Pro 2 Recovery Image drivers Sorry you will have to reset your SP2 one...

Anyone else tried this?

Looks like someone has found a permanent fix for the "Surface cover telemetry" unknown device when you reset your SP2. I just went through the steps then reset my SP2. Unknown device is now gone! I think I'm also getting a big more battery life but maybe this is my imagination. Systems Admin...

hksrb, if you play any games, can you tell us if your FPS has increased? EG before the update you had 35fps and after the update it went to 45fps?

All the drivers for SP2 are here Download Surface Pro 2 firmware and driver pack from Official Microsoft Download Center ;-)

I can confirm the SP2 uses the exact same wifi chip. Im trying to determine if it has the same issues as the SP1. Nothing so far,

Microsoft are claiming 50% graphics improvement (officially) with the HD 4400. Many people say that the improvement will not be that high however they missed a small key point. If you watch the SP2 MS announcement you will hear Panos talking about the SP2 now having dual channel memory (SP1 has...

Looks like if you haven't ordered your Surface Pro 2 you could be out of luck soon. Microsoft is selling out of Surfaces. Glad I pre-ordered mine. Microsoft is selling out of Surfaces, backorders starting to pile up ahead of retail launch - Neowin
