I would wait as well, as everyone said the SP4 should be announced soon. Further Dell and Lenovo have similar devices in the works too. More competition could lead to better prices.

I know this is going to sound like one of those stupid questions but just to cover all basis, have you tried a different browser? I only ask because it sounds like the device is connecting and obtaining an IP address just fine. Also have you tried downloading the offline java installer...

Like I said, 4.5 years is a bit of a pipe dream but 3 years while retaining 85% of original power seems feasible. Additionally charging for 4.5 years at 5 days a week puts the cycles at 1170 which is just on the outside of some Li optimum charge cycles. All I'm saying is dependent on the usage...

hrm interesting, I wonder if something was running in the background to cause issues.

Here's a good article by gizmodo referring to the proper care of Li batteries. it's recommended you keep the battery above 50% while doing a full cycle once a month. doing it more could pose damage to the battery. It continues to say that keeping it fully topped up could pose damage as well...

what I'd probably do before upgrading is scrape your current drivers that are working, upgrade the unit and roll back the drivers, see if that works.

true, but wouldn't it make sense that MS would take the same forward steps on charging systems as everyone else has? most systems now charge till full then switch the system over to AC power and not running it through the battery and keeping the charging cycles down. As I don't know the exact...

If it works on windows 8.1 and windows 10 is slow then I would assume it's a driver issue. have you tried rolling your drivers back?

I use a 3rd party dock station (can handle 3 4K monitors or so it says) I'm connected via USB to it but as Hughlle said, it should be as simple as buying an adapter. If you happen to have the OEM dock for the sp3 there should be a miniDP on the back of it. for others double check the format of...

Whenever I'm near power I'm connected. I've left my tablet on power for over a week and no problems. I don't think there would be a problem. I'm sure the charger/charging system is smart and won't overcharge the battery.

Which driver are you running? the OS? When you say you're unable to connect do you mean that you're unable to connect to a webpage or unable to connect to the network? Do you have a yellow triangle over the wifi symbol in your task bar if you're connected? when you open your wifi list can you...

do you think you can scrape your march drivers and PM me them/link to them? I'd like to test the march drivers. I'm in the same boat as most everyone else that they aren't available to is on windows 10, just the June which breaks everything.

I've been running the old drivers for the past 3 days, so far speed and response remains stable. I'll continue to test over the week to see if issues creep in. As I'm still on 8.1 my experiences might be a little different than yours. I'd be curious to know if anyone has had success installing...

so to verify, when you launch the program from the second monitor it starts on the SP3? I think if I'm reading it right your second monitor is set as your primary display is that correct?

Sorry, I didn't see your post from last night. Would you like to test to validate it's the SP3 is the issue or try rolling back your drivers which seemed to work for me?

I have to respectfully have to disagree. The issue doesn't lay with the router especially when it happens across multiple routers. Though really test and rule out the router would be to compare JUST the wifi speed against multiple devices which use wifi across the same spectrum. Such as setting...

Hey there all, so I joined the forum to contribute what I could for annoying bugs that have been vexing me and figured that it would be bugging others as well (namely the wifi issue on the SP3) . A bit about me: I'm an IT engineer specializing in security. I've been in the field for 15 years...

I ran into a similar problem and narrowed it down to the drivers. I was running windows 10 after the update and my driver showed 6/4/15 15.68.3091.193. I tried locking it to one frequency, deleting the driver, nothing seemed to work. I also couldn't roll back my drivers. I restored the tablet to...
