    Hard Shell Case for Surface Pro 3

    Whilst it's not a hard case like some, I think Moko's case is really good... It also makes use of the magnetic bit at the top of the screen so if the keyboard is not in place will magnetically cover the screen when not in use... It will allow the kickstand to be used at any position you wish and...

    Solved Power / Brightness ?Issue?

    jnjroach, you're right, when I enabled Hyper-V which disables the Connected Standby, I get the guesstimates back.... I've disabled Hyper-V for now though... For others that want to switch between the two: To disable Hyper-V and restore Connected Standby functionality, use the following at the...

    Solved Power / Brightness ?Issue?

    lol, Cheers but I'd sooner wait and see if an update restores it... Not really one for third party software unless I really need it... If it was a setting I could enable I would, but otherwise will live with just a % at the mo :-)

    Solved Power / Brightness ?Issue?

    Zog, thanks for that... I thought it was a standard Windows feature... didn't know it was device specific, thought Windows looked at the drain on the battery and worked it out..... I'll stop looking then! Cheers

    Solved Power / Brightness ?Issue?

    Found the issue with the brightness... "Enable adaptive brightness" was disabled in the advanced power options... Now I've enabled it, I have set the device to adjust automatically.... Just looking through the options to see if I can find the guesstimate thingy....

    Solved Power / Brightness ?Issue?

    Thanks for your reply, but I've probably not made myself clear... I'm not looking for a third party app for power remaining... Windows should do this... But currently it doesn't....

    Solved Power / Brightness ?Issue?

    Hi, Not sure if this is an issue, or just not compatible with the SP3.... Basically, there's two things I've noticed, the settings in PC Settings for auto adjust brightness is dimmed out and not active... Is this not possible on the SP3 or do I need to adjust a setting to enable it..? Also...

    Microsoft Complete - UK - Surface Type Cover..?

    I tried 'live chat' with a Service Rep, but they said that I needed to provide proof of purchase, and that the order numbers I had wouldn't suffice..???? So put me through to Surface Sales... Who initially told me that the produce I had been sold must have been wrong as SP3 isn't covered by an...

    UK pre-orders, when do they generally arrive?

    My UPS shipping page was blank until a few minutes ago... Now like Frustin's shows UPS Express before 1200 tomorrow (28/8) for both type cover and device (separate tracking numbers as two orders...) When I ordered the device from Microsoft last week I was told that it was unlikely I'd receive...

    Will SP3 Power a USB BD-Writer?

    Why would you need a Y Cable? I use the SE-506 with the supplied cable on the SP1...? I'm awaiting delivery of my SP3 so can't say for sure, but if it worked on the 1, why would it not work on the 3? I haven't completed blu-ray burning with it yet, but have played BR and recorded on CD and DVD...
