    Surface Pro 4 - Still the best 2 in 1 option?

    The funny thing is I haven't actually had any real problems with mine except the obvious sleep/wake issue (now seems to be fixed), and a really annoying "will it work? won't it work?" Windows Hello camera upon opening it up (still a problem). The portability of the device is GREAT, but the...

    Surface Pro 4 - Still the best 2 in 1 option?

    My company provided me with my Surface Pro 4, so I have no bias whatsoever when I say to you that based on my experience and usage patterns, the device is just "OK". If I was personally shelling out $2k of my own money, I would want a damn sight more than an OK machine. Nothing is really...

    2/17/16 Hardware update live!

    My Windows Hello camera still doesn't turn on from boot/screen off some times, so that issue definitely isn't fixed with this update. Unless I'm imagining it, the Surface also feels noticeably warmer than usual with same activity (browsing web, office apps etc)

    Is there a way to keep Pandora, NPR, etc. playing after my screen turns off from time-out?

    Nope, I banged my head against the wall for a week trying to figure it out with Spotify to no avail. I can get Groove Music to continue playing while the screen is turned off, but not Spotify. I like the Surface Pro 4, but there are a lot of things about it that really grate on me (this...

    I got excited as I hadn't checked your suggestion before, but it turns out Spotify doesn't even appear in this list for me :(

    Major problem listening to music with Surface Pro 4

    Bump! There must be somebody here who uses Spotify on their Surface Pro 4 to listen to music? I've looked all over the web and can find no solution for the music stopping when the screen gets turned off (>_<) !!! Seems to have been going on since the Surface Pro 3 too.

    Windows Hello Broken by Last Update :(

    Hi, Yes, my Windows Hello was also broken after the last big update :( Exactly the same as you, from cold boot the Windows Hello camera no longer activates (no red light) on first login. I have to swipe up and use my PIN to get in. After that, if I go away from my Surface or the screen turns...

    Major problem listening to music with Surface Pro 4

    I have the screen set to turn off after 2mins on battery, and go to sleep after 30mins on battery. When the screen turns off, the audio from Spotify stops playing. As soon as I touch the keyboard, the lock screen comes on and the music starts playing again.
