Yep, still using mine here. Have been tempted by the new SP6 with type cover deal for £749 her this weekend, but can't justify it. Battery life is starting to drop gradually but the rest of the machine still does what I need. Guess I'll squeeze a bit more life out of it :-)

hi, my bluetooth performance has deteriorated too. i use a jbl flip 2 speaker. after a clean install it will work once! then it has trouble connecting, or disconnecting. if it does connect, it doesn't actually play audio. back to a stereo cable for me if i need to use it :-(

hi, clean install sp2 64/4GB here. machine keeps coming out of sleep on its own. i believe a firmware update came out that was meant to fix this, but i can't seem to find it. anyone else seeing this behaviour? cheers, si

Hadn't spotted that but the machine still seems happier than it used to

I just had a firmware update appear this morning. i rebooted the machine and it did indeed say at the black surface logo "please wait while we perform a system update". maybe it was actually a new firmware....

So I just tried installing via usb the latest 8.1 update 1 iso. Strangely was a bit iffy first time, so just wiped it out and tried again. All drivers sorted out via windows update and it feels like my sp2 is behaving better then ever. Certainly i have had to put up with strange power on and off...

sorry you didn't like the way the forum formatted the report. i couldn't upload an html file as the forum doesn't allow it. thought pasting the raw text was the best way to go as a shot screen on an sp2 shows very little of the report as a screen grab. anyway, to be clear - these are the kind...

hi, i got my replacement surface yesterday after my first one died. i did the powercfg battery report and got some nonsense stats back. is there any way to reset the stats or are they hard wired? cheers, si

Well I got my replacement surface today. Pretty quick turnaround. Seems in perfect condition other than a tiny bit of finish missing from the power socket. Seeing as mine was a bit scuffed I'm cool with that. Hope this one lasts a bit longer though. Only got 7 months out of the first one!

not sure but I was worried about that too. the MS rep insisted if the drive was readable they would wipe it but I can't get to it myself to be sure. I tried booting from my usb recovery drive but when I try to recover the machine it says the hard drive is locked so it looks like there is a...

got a blue screen of death that said something about kernel security error. now it'll only boot to uefi. MS are going to send me a replacement. they didn't really seem to think there was any way to get it working again. do you guys have any bright ideas before I send it back? I've tried changing...

Thanks bertopl that fixed it!

Hi jnjr, no not using office 365 or standard office for that matter. I'll try uninstalling the update mentioned above and see what happens...

Hi all, Since the last patch Tuesday, I've noticed that the one drive icon in the task bar generally tells me I'm not connected to the internet when I am. A full shutdown and reboot usually fixes it, but if I wake the sp2 from sleep I get the message again. Anyone else seeing this? Cheers...

I did the update the manual way a couple of weeks ago. All been working fine since. Still got a 100MB windows 8.1 update though so I guess there were a few bits missing...

My first unit had a bump on the bottom edge where the glass wasn't glued down properly...

not that strange - there are lots of people with exactly the same problem...

So after the latest firmware update, (March), I thought I'd give sleep a go again after a month of only allowing hibernate. Lots of fans whirring and no start up ensued. Back to hibernate only methinks :-)

I have the same problem and started a thread about it a while back. Nobody answered...
