    Can I use a Microsoft Store Gift Card to purchase a 12-month Groove Music Pass?

    My 12-month Groove Music Pass is up for renewal and as there aren't any good deals around at the moment, I wonder if I could cash in some of my Microsoft Reward Points for a $100 Windows Store Gift Card and use this to pay for my music pass? I know there are some restrictions as to what...

    New replacement Band 2 won't can't find GPS?!?

    My Band 2 started splitting 2 weeks ago so went in to the local Microsoft store and arranging a replacement was a breeze (although they didn't give me one on the spot but instead ordered me one). New one arrived and based on the non-retail packaging, it could be a refurb. Cosmetics were...

    Run tile not recording elevation??

    I'm thinking this is a hardware issue now. Since March 18th, I've noticed that my Band 2 has recorded 0 floors climbed every single day. Back to the Microsoft Store...

    Run tile not recording elevation??

    Hi All, Has anyone experienced problems recently (in the last week) with the Run tile not recording any elevation data? GPS is working fine and I have my route recorded but there is no elevation data? I am not using GPS Saver. Thanks!

    Why do I have gaps in the Heart Rate Measurement whilst Running?

    I don't really have a point of comparison but I feel I wear the band on the tighter side. It can move around a little bit if I shake my wrist but if I look at how it sits on my wrist, both the optical sensor (back of the display) and the "galvanic skin response" sensor are typically in light...

    Why do I have gaps in the Heart Rate Measurement whilst Running?

    To confirm, the Bluetooth link was on (I did not turn it off) but I was not carrying my phone on the run.

    Why do I have gaps in the Heart Rate Measurement whilst Running?

    Lock is normally solid when I'm not doing exercise. It shows the solid flashing heart and says "Locked" Another interesting thing is that when I use it to track other activities (e.g. a yoga class) via the exercise tile, it seems to track HR fine???

    Why do I have gaps in the Heart Rate Measurement whilst Running?

    Gaps in Heart Rate Measurement whilst Running Hi All, I just started to use the Run tile on my Microsoft Band 2 and have found the heart rate measurement a little spotty. First run was short and no HR data showed up. Second run was a mile and a half and whilst all the HR metrics populated...

    HELP! Surface RT acting very strangely...also, where has all my storage space gone???

    I ended up finding this thread on Microsoft's forums (answers.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/forum/surfwinrt-surfusing/surface-rt-disk-space-decreasing-for-no-reasons/73e24f89-cf82-4621-af85-d09d4bc6a760) which seemed to indicate a hardware issue to be the root cause. Spent some time with a MS...

    HELP! Surface RT acting very strangely...also, where has all my storage space gone???

    Did the Disk Clean and saved 88MB. My problem is that I can't actually do a refresh because it is saying I need to free up 3GB more disk space before I can start the refresh?!?!?

    HELP! Surface RT acting very strangely...also, where has all my storage space gone???

    Hi All, Wondering if anyone has experienced anything similar to my current predicament. I fired up my Surface RT (32GB) and noticed that the Skype app and the Games app had disappeared from my Start Screen (leaving gaps in tile arrangement). Also noticed that the Travel tile was now called...

    Need a 925 case that will fit with the charging cover installed?

    Thanks again multo, I was hoping for a corporate looking leather sleeve but this will do the job if I can't find anything else (agreed, not a fan of the bead).

    Need a 925 case that will fit with the charging cover installed?

    Thanks multo, does it fit well over the charging cover? Can you send me a link? (All I can find on eBay are mofi flip cases).

    Need a 925 case that will fit with the charging cover installed?

    Just received my 925 earlier this week (migrated from Z10). It came with the charging cover but I'm not convinced that alone it will provide enough protection. Has anyone found a case that will fit well on a 925 with the charging cover installed? I was looking at something like the Nokia CP-620...
