    First impressions and What did you pickup?

    I'm loving the battery life on this thing. I know from the official stats it's not meant to be that much better but it's not draining at all during sleep which was always my issue with the 4. Previously if I didn't use the 4 for a day and a half, likely the battery would be very low. This...

    First impressions and What did you pickup?

    got a i5 8GB/256Gb (black). it does actually feel generally quicker than the pro4 its replaced. I've not heard a fan yet in a couple of days of use (presume it has one). Battery is much better, not sure if that's because my 4 was old. not liking the screen contrast adjustment it is doing...

    Can't use recovery USB to reset Surface Pro 4

    that is incredible... The instructions on the MS surface support site (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/surfacerecoveryimage) include this: 7. Go back to the recovery image .zip file that you downloaded and open it. 8. Drag the files from the recovery image folder to the USB recovery drive...

    Can't use recovery USB to reset Surface Pro 4

    hmmm. interesting. that guide skips the bit that is on the MS page that it refers to. On the MS site it tells you to create a recovery from a working machine and then copy the unzipped image over it. I'll try it this way

    Can't use recovery USB to reset Surface Pro 4

    Has anyone has this issue...I decided after the last insider preview to do a recovery and start afresh on my surface. Doing a recovery failed so I followed what I thought would be the simplest approach and downloaded the surface pro 4 recovery files from MS and copied them over the top of a...

    New Skype Update Broke The SMS Relay

    yes, you can flick it between skype and sms with the drop down next to the message box. However the linking of your contacts with their skype accounts seems to be a bit random and it doesn't always see the sms contact as the same as the skype contact (even if you have them linked in your contacts!)

    New Skype Update Broke The SMS Relay

    code request seems to be working on mine again now after an update

    I like the SMS fuction in Skype preview.

    mine stopped working but is back now. there is an option in settings now to get a code on the non-phone and enter the code on the phone. On a previous version this didn't seem to be working but all looks good now. (I had to refresh the code to make it work)

    i presume it's an accident but my skype preview app just got an update that removed the SMS function!

    Microsoft Health Live Tile not working, how can I fix it?

    Re: Microsoft Health Live Tile not working I can't think what else I did that might have fixed it then. For the last couple of days every time I check the weather tile, it's last updated in the last hour

    Anniversary Update Massively improved battery life

    Thanks but I've been on au for ages. Was on the inside preview since the beginning. Did a hard reset after getting the official version and the firmware update. Never noticed any improvements with battery that hung around consistently. In fact my wife has had to start carrying around one of...

    Anniversary Update Massively improved battery life

    for me I find it is related to how much travelling around I'm doing in the day. the 950 (and my 930 before it) seem to have an issue moving from signal to signal and get all worked up when they are struggling to maintain a connection. I travel to work on the London underground which has wifi on...

    Microsoft Health Live Tile not working, how can I fix it?

    Re: Microsoft Health Live Tile not working Didn't for me and neither did resetting the band. I'm not convinced that it is solely to do with the anniversary update though as a friend of mine has a 950 and his stopped working before he got the au. I'm sure mine stopped with the last band update...

    Microsoft Health Live Tile not working, how can I fix it?

    Re: Microsoft Health Live Tile not working is anyone that is having the no live tile/no weather updates/etc installed the health app on more than one device? I'm sure mine stopped working about the time they released the app for desktop and I installed it on my surface
