    My band 2 is tearing

    This is why I'm looking for an alternative. I"m going to do research this time on band quality, etc. instead of just buying MS because I'm a fan.

    My band 2 is tearing

    I ended up selling mine as is for like 90 bucks, tears and all. F it. I'm done with it. In search of something else. It's too bad because the Band 2 really improved my exercises and workouts and actually motivated me to stay on track.

    My band 2 is tearing

    I'm glad to hear they will replace for free at the Microsoft Store. I wonder why they don't do it online. In any case, I'm going to get mine replaced and then sell it. I can't take a $15 train ride into San Francisco every three months to replace it. It is a horrible design flaw and the product...

    My band 2 is tearing

    That's exactly what mine looks like. I've given up and am cutting my losses by selling it in it's current condition on eBay. I'm done with Microsoft. They really blew it on this, the Surface Book and the Pro 3/4.

    My band 2 is tearing

    I agree it is a design flaw. Anyone want to open a class action lawsuit with me?

    My band 2 is tearing

    I still don't believe they want to charge $200 to send me a new one when it is clearly a design flaw. I ended up not getting the Complete Care. I guess I will from now on.

    Did you have to pay $200?

    My band 2 is tearing

    I had the same thing happen to mine, except mine was just from wearing it around the house and occasionally bumping into a wall :) They wanted $200 to send me a new one. Are you kidding me? I just bought this thing in November!

    Anyone else notice that they yanked the Windows Phone 8 Redbox app?

    Bummer. I use them frequently for a cheap rental. Mobile site works well enough, though.

    1520 touch screen unresponsive

    Mine still freaks out randomly. I ended up going back to win 10. Same issues. It is definitely hardware. The hardware buttons on the bottom are to blame. The back button gets stuck, Cortana loads randomly, and then the screen freezes. Still some ghost tapping in bottom right corner, too. Most...

    Site unusable on Surface 3 - Windows 10 - Edge

    At least it's not just me. I was thinking maybe it was due to the low end Atom processor on Surface 3.

    Best wallet case?

    What brands make the most reliable wallet style case for the 1520? I've been looking on Amazon, but it is hard to tell quality from a picture on a website. I'm looking for something similar in function and style to the BookBook cases for iPhone. Thanks!

    1520 touch screen unresponsive

    I think I've figured out how the glitch happens. When I squeeze the bottom of the phone, the back button activates and then the touch screen dies.

    "make sure bluetooth is on and your phone is close by"

    For what it is worth, I have used my Band 2 on three different phones since I got it in November. I never had any issues whatsoever when it was hooked up to my iPhone 5s. Everything just worked. I then hooked it up to a Lumia 635 running 8.1. It all actually worked well with little sync issues...

    Site unusable on Surface 3 - Windows 10 - Edge

    For the last month or so, Windows Central has been unusable on Edge on my Surface 3. The website takes forever to load and then when it does, it freezes every 20 seconds. I get the blue loading circle on my mouse pointer. Earlier today, the site froze my entire computer and I had to do a hard...

    1520 touch screen unresponsive

    Well, 8.1 runs better so far. No more ghost tapping, but I still get the back button getting pressed whenever I use the phone in landscape mode with the back button pointing down. (Mostly when using the camera.) After this happens, the touch screen becomes unresponsive and I have to turn the...

    1520 touch screen unresponsive

    Thanks. I've reset to 8.1. We shall see how it goes tomorrow. Hopefully this will fix the touchscreen not working properly. Otherwise I'll have to get a new one again :/

    1520 touch screen unresponsive

    Not sure if I have a hardware or software issue. I just updated my 1520 to Windows 10 (build 10586.29). The touch screen will randomly stop working. I'll be trying to scroll, open an app, etc. Nothing. I have to reboot the entire phone. I also get random ghost touch issues. None of this was...

    Why isn't Outlook 2016 working on Win 10?

    Outlook 2016 not working on Win 10 Not sure what's going on, but Outlook 2016 (and 2013) will not load on my two Windows 10 machines. All I get is the blue rectangle that gets stuck on 'Processing..." in the lower left hand corner. I have tried reinstalling the apps with no use. Perhaps on a...
