Very odd and annoying new behavior. Ever since 14332 a few days ago, my SP4 Type Cover touchpad--which has worked so well that I actually no longer use a standalone mouse--stopped being reliable in Win32 apps ONLY. It's only the two-finger scroll that doesn't work well. But in UWP apps, it works...

Surface Pro 4, both current Insider build and current retail release, plus new Surface Dock and 2 monitors. Using Amazon Basics MiniDP to HDMI adapters (also tried a Belkin). Will not drive both screens--lots of screen flickering craziness. SOMETIMES works, mostly doesn't. Fully updated too...

SP2, Build 10130, Tablet Mode: If I'm understanding the update notes correctly, we ought to be able to swipe down to activate app menus like we did in Win8.1. I can't seem to get this to work, at least with Reader. Anyone else having luck on an SP2? Thanks!

Basically, for no apparent reason, my Surface Pro 2 running the 10074 Insider Preview will lose the ability to open the Start Menu or Cortana. Super annoying.

Really, this is getting shameful. MS has to recognize that not everyone needs a phablet, which their latest releases clearly do, yet for those original WP8 customers on AT&T, there are no true high end phones to choose from pretty than the 1520! If AT&T would just carry the 930, all would be...

Hello WPCentral forums, I'm not sure where to post this, since it's not device specific, but I'm curious what you all think. My wife's 920 is having straingt audio problems and other quirkiness. So, given that I expect it to die completely in the coming months, what should I do for her? I...

With all the grousing, you'd think that WP8.1 was a total fail. Except it's anything but. The improvements are numerous, and the "issues" that most people have posted about are mostly kneejerk reactions posted without just spending a bit of time fiddling (not all, mind you, but many)...

I am interested in installing WP8.1 on my new 1520, but I'm concerned that if I do, I may lose access to my firm's email and calendar, which is managed with MaaS360. The actual settings are all EAS, of course. Anyone have any idea if the update will uninstall any corporate apps like MaaS360...

They are very thin and extend almost the width of the screen. I assume this is some kind of screen defect, but it's pretty subtle. I'm considering waiting until WP8.1 comes out so I don't have to redo my start screen with a replacement unit. However, I'm wondering if anyone else has these...

So, I thought I would make a separate post because I didn't see anything immediately similar to the issue I'm suddenly having after the recent firmware update. Basically, twice now I've shut the Type Cover 2 on my SP2 (or even hit the power button to put it to sleep) and I've come back a bit...

Is anyone else having trouble getting Toast notifications to show up with their Surface RT after upgrading to Win 8.1? I didn't have any of the weird issues that's affecting some, but I've noticed my Toasts have stopped showing up. The Live Tiles work fine, but I realy want to get the Toasts...

I only have a sample size of two phones, so I thought I'd get a larger set of data by asking everyone here what their experiences have been. I have a matte black Lumia 920, my wife has a glossy red Lumia 920. Both purchased yesterday. Mine lasts about half a day, if that, on a single charge...

Does anyone know (or think they know) if this will work with a Surface: http://www.amazon.com/MIMO-UM-710S-Powered-Swivel-Display/dp/B002RMPASG/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1351702880&sr=8-3&keywords=usb+display I have no doubts that the USB 2.0 interface would work, but I don't know how much power...

Has anyone else noticed that if you ordered the $499 Surface without a Touch Cover and then picked a colored Touch Cover separately, that the Touch Cover is shipping entirely separately and, at least for me, might not be delivered on Friday? HOW FRUSTRATING (cough firstworldproblem cough) that...

I need some forum advice here. I'm pretty sure I need to just exchange my black pre-ordered Lumia 900 for a new one, despite the update. Here's what has happened twice now: (1) I lose all ability to send and receive text messages. (2) Emails do not appear to send or even be stored in my...

Hi all, I looked a good 6-7 pages back in the forum as I thought I had seen a thread, but perhaps I was mistaken. Anyway, I've noticed that sometimes my phone will get quite warm and this has been coinciding with a severe drop in battery performance. I'm suspecting the cause is a...

I found this post to be highly enlightening and basically proving that Topolsky gave the phone not a single chance to impress him. As the poster notes, English is not his native language, but I think he does a bang-up job of showing just WHY The Verge's review was so unfair. Totally worth...

I have to give a small rant inspired by some (though not all) of the Lumia 900 reviews. I am SO SICK of hearing about the latest and greatest Android phone to roll off some OEM's assembly lines. Has it occurred to anyone else that it ought to be an embarassment that Android is such a poorly...

The subject says it all, really. I'm new to WP7, though I've been following the OS's development since it was announced over a year ago. I just pre-ordered my new Lumia 900 (which is the phone I've been waiting for to jump off the iOS ship) and I'm really excited to receive it next Friday...
