good news then. not only was the sp1 cable and port bad, mine actually caught fire. but it sounds like the 3 generation pro fixed the port and cable issues. i'll have to make a trip to the local microsoft store and give the 4 a look-see. thanks for the replies.

how's the latest charging connector and port? after owning a surface rt and a surface pro, i vowed i'd not even consider another surface until the terrible connector and port were re-designed. how are they on this latest surface? looks pretty much the same to me.

i'm ok with the on screen buttons IF it looks like the hardware was designed for it or that the hardware took on screen buttons into consideration. if the on-screen buttons plus the bezel at the bottom looks cheap or like an after thought (i.e. giant black bar when the on screen buttons are...

but it will also track you when actually going up actual stairs, which *is* pretty cool. my microsoft band is pretty cool, but it does lots of glitchy stuff...i still think it's pretty cool, though.

i've looked at healthvault before, but not in awhile. will revisit it today, thanks!

so a friend showed me the apple health on their iphone today. microsoft has some catching up to do. seeing the apple app made me wonder why basic things like being able to journal blood pressure readings or blood sugar readings aren't already built into one of the microsoft health apps. i also...

when i download and launch lumia camera, i get a message saying i need to up to lumia denim. i thought my 830 came w/ lumia denim. what's up? does the app just not work on the 830?

curses! i was just packing up the 830 to return it and knocked it onto the floor. got a small dent on the right hand corner. guess i'll have to learn to love the phone now.

yeah, i'm going to go ahead and send it back. i'll get 635 instead. no reason to pay for an 830 if this is how it functions. a 635 might not function any better, but at $40 i can live with the bugs. at nearly 500 bucks, this stuff is unacceptable.

interesting...i unpinned cortana and xbox music and the stuttering when scrolling on the home screen stop completely. the notifications center stuttering is unchanged. it really looks bad. it almost looks like i'm scrolling through it with one of those mouse scroll wheels...you know that...

when i scroll through my notifications, the scrolling is stuttery or choppy. anyone get this?

so my 830 has shut down twice for no apparent reason (had it about a week), has froze once requiring that i take out the battery to get it to restart, and it's generally sluggish. not slow necessarily, but certainly not snappy. also, when i scroll through my notifications, the motion is...
