    X3 Overheating

    My X3 started heating up again and I took a temperature gun to it at got 97F near camera and fingerprint sensor and 95F lower down near HP logo. I was not running continuum. This morning I powered down, put it on the dock and came back two hours later to find it hot again. 101F at top 97F at...

    X3 Overheating

    Yes, I will take a look at the running apps if it happens again. As cool as the X3 runs, I was in a little bit of a panic when I found the device that warm and I was just trying to get it to cool down. I guess the trouble with the Samsung Note 7 has put the possibility of a melting phone in my...

    X3 Overheating

    I have been using my X3 since the early days of it's release. The device has never run hot on me before, until about a week ago. It was on my desk and when I picked it up it was very warm. The back was warm as well as the glass on the front. The battery was also run down from a full charge...

    HP Keyboard Kickstand Case

    After 2 months of everyday use the rubber pads on my Folio Case have glue oozing out from under them and the pads move around. At this point I'm just taking them off. X3 will still prop up in landscape mode, just not as grippy. The oozing glue was making quite a mess so better to go without.

    How's this x3 battery life?

    At the end of 24 hours of medium use (Spotify, Outlook, Edge, news, etc) I recharge my X3 with about 30% charge left. The only thing I found that kills my battery is a game called Crash Dive but I suppose the X3 is not really aimed at the Crash Dive gamer. Great battery. Great device.

    HP Keyboard Kickstand Case

    I did see your review and my X3 has never been without that case. When I found out how good regular websites looked on the X3 with Edge, I just started craving a Surface Pro like kick stand with a keyboard dropping down from the cover. I'm going to try the lap dock but I have a feeling that...

    HP Keyboard Kickstand Case

    Must be the second month with the X3 and I'm on Windows Insider release preview and the device has been great for me. I recently discovered how well Edge renders websites and I found that most of the websites I need are very readable and easy to navigate in the Edge browser in conjunction with...

    Elite X3 -Daily Driver

    I have been using the X3 for about a month as well and I remain relatively happy with it. As mentioned by others, I agree that W10 Mobile isn't as polished as Android or Apple. Apps freeze up or require work arounds. I get daily app crashes where I have to start the app a few times but...

    [Real Users] My HP Elite X3 Review

    I guess the top is the Elite X3. Since the aperture is smaller on the X3 I would expect the exposure to be darker. I like the image quality and tone of both but it looks like the bottom sensor is more sensitive. (One day cameras will all produce perfect images from a sensor the size of a pin...

    Starbucks app not working on HP Elite x3

    I've been using the Starbucks app daily for the last week or so. One side benifit of the WM version is that you don't get the text message receipts that give you an opportunity to leave a retroactive tip.

    Starbucks app not working on HP Elite x3

    When you get the log in screen for the Starbucks App click on SIGN UP and NOT SIGN IN. When you get the sign up screen, click the BACK button (bottom menu, left arrow) and then this time click SIGN IN and you should get the dialogue boxes asking for your credentials and then you should be good...

    HP Elite X3 Accessories: Specs & Features

    I have the Wallet Folio case and I am very happy with it. It maintains the premium feel of the phone. Phone sits in a plastic cradle with a leather back. The leather on the back of the phone is set back from the edges and the plastic cradle wraps the edges of the phone. This tapers the phone...

    Elite X3 and AT&T Visual Voicemail

    If it doesn't set up the first time, try resetting your voicemail password on the ATT website. Wait a few minutes then call in into the voicemail through the phone app. It will have you set a new password, greeting, etc. When finished with your settings, hang up and a few minutes later the...

    HP Elite x3 Bugs + Defects

    Installed AU now X3 crashes anytime I take a picture using stock camera app. I have switched storage from SD card to device storage and there is no difference. Before AU I could get one or two shots off using stock camera app before crash/restart. The good news is that the image quality is...
