    Using a Band 2 with Android device

    I'm waiting on the Band 2 (due to be delivered Monday) and will be using it with a Note 5. I've thought about the Band 1 many times and when the 2 was released I figured it was a no-brainer. I'm looking forward to using it and hope that it's all that I've read it is. Do you have any complaints...

    E-mail color coding

    Downloaded both, and didn't like Mailbox!. Metromail seems to have promise from what I could see in the app store, but I can't get it to work. It installed but won't open. Have you gotten it to work on 8.1?

    E-mail color coding

    I finally made the switch from Android to Windows phone and am loving it so far. I bought a 925 and updated to 8.1. I linked a few e-mail accounts and am wondering if there is any way to color code the accounts so that when I open up my linked folder I can see what account the messages are...

    Anyone else have their SP3 overheat?

    I bought the SP2 the day it was released with the i5, 256gb, and 8gb of ram and never had it overheat and shutdown. I've owned the SP3 for a little over a day and I just had it overheat on my and shut down. I was downloading Command and Conquer 3 from Origin, and playing Asphalt 7 on the metro...

    How does the cyan type cover wear?

    Thanks for the info. I think that the red type cover will have the same fate. It's a shame, both are great looking covers. I think the purple will hold up well though.

    How does the cyan type cover wear?

    I'm typing this response from a black type cover on my surface pro 2. I think I'll be sending the cyan back and just keeping the purple type cover. I don't know why, but I feel like the color of the surface pro 3 deserves a cover that has at least a little bit of color.

    How does the cyan type cover wear?

    I ordered the surface pro 3 and a cyan type cover the day that it was up for pre-order. After I ordered it I started to worry about how well the cyan type cover would wear. To me it seems that a color as light as cyan would show dirt pretty quickly. I love the look of the cyan and hope that the...

    Non-slip feet for SP2?

    Amazon.com: Self-adhesive Clear Rubber Feet - Clear - 1/2" Diameter -121/sheet: Everything Else I stock something very similar to these in my True Value hardware store. I think they may work well for what you're looking to accomplish. Half inch might be a little large though...... quarter would...

    Genymotion.

    I know that there are a few threads on here about Blue Stacks. I tried it and it wasn't smooth at all. I'm starting this thread because I've now installed Genymotion, it's better but not as good as I thought it would be. When I try to play games it's still choppy. I installed, and directed the...

    Odd question.....

    I need to be able to connect to two different wifi routers at the same time. I need to connect to one router to access my server and POS software and connect to a second router in order to access a printer. Does anyone know how to install a virtual wifi adapter so that I'm able to make this work?

    Surface Pro 2 for me?

    I'm currently using the SP2 with a Targus dock that utilizes the same diplaylink software and have no problems at all, it works very well actually. I leave the SP2 on the desk and am able to take notes in onenote and still have all of my necessary desktop apps open and running on my 25" HP monitor.

    Onenote questions

    I'm using the metro version. There don't seem to be many options at all. When I swipe in from the side and click on the options menu all I get are 2 choices, neither of which are related to the display. Am I missing something? Is there another way to access more options?

    Onenote questions

    I'm starting to love Onenote but I still have a few problems with it. My hope is that someone out there knows something I don't. My largest problem pertains to the overall organization of the notes. Can I organize them alphabetically? My other problem is with the lined paper; can I make it a...

    Ordering through premier?

    I called Dell today and tried to order a Venue 8 Pro through my premier account. They told me that shipments have been pushed back to December for the 64gb version and that there was no information on it in their system......then I hopped on the regular site, and using my own personal account...
