I have this problem. I had it back in August and was just searching to see if it had been fixed yet. I guess not. One might get the feeling that Microsoft is running away from touch and universal apps and all that. Anyway, I thought they would have this resolved by now. I also wish they...

Some time ago I noticed that the Bing News app (now just News, I think) was saving articles to my HD and never removing them. It was a nice app but it had to go.

That's too bad. Could it have been an internet problem.

I hope Surface 3 will have improved audio over the Surface 2. The headphone out jack on my Surface 2 is very noisy and the USB audio is very glitchy while multitasking. If anyone gets a chance to test these on the Surface 3 I'd like to hear if there is any improvement. Thanks!

I can see that the updated Xbox Music app on my Surface 2 is supposed to support the music locker feature (play music from OneDrive) but it doesn't work on mine. I have no problem with the service on other devices. Is anyone else experiencing this problem with an RT device. Has anyone gotten...

My old 928 took the tumble and has been replaced by another one that was sitting in my son's drawer for 6 months or so (he gave it a try anyway). I have run update several times and the OS is up to date but it still has a pre-Amber Nokia package on it. How can I get the phone to upgrade the...

Hi. I'm trying to reset my Surface 2 using the USB Recovery drive that I created ( I previously deleted my recovery partition to reclaim some disk space). The restore gets about 15% complete when I get the message: "There is a problem resetting your PC". Of course, now I can't boot except to...

So I'm starting to get the feeling that apps in the Windows 8 RT app store are just Windows 8 apps that have been recompiled with ARM code and sometimes they work and sometimes they don't and it's really up to the customer to figure it out for himself. I'm frustrated.

Hello, I have begun using the 7digital music store in order to get 320kbps music. I find that the downloaded files from my purchases are not what I expect. They are AAC (not MP3) files with randomized alpha-numeric names. They can be played but they cannot be indexed properly when imported...

I use the HRT microStreamer. I recommend it. They have a firmware downgrade that works well with the slower ARM processor. Or it seems to, so far. So the problem I've had is somewhat minimized. It goes for about $190 on Amazon. It has both headphone out and line out for connecting to a...

Yes, they can be quite a bit better. There is a variety of products but the small, USB-powered units seem most compatible with the Surface 2. And the smaller, portable ones are evolving rapidly. Newer designs tend to be significantly better (and smaller) than those from just a few years ago...

Well shoot, if y'all aren't doing USB Audio then you're missing out.

The Surface 2 is an ideal form factor for using a small USB DAC / Amp to listen to music while on the go. However, mine doesn't much like to multitask. The audio stream, though fine when the system isn't doing anything else, is prone to hiccups when listening while also browsing in IE, using...

Thanks again. I guess all those glowing reviews are from the developer's cousins.

Kevyn, Thanks for the reply. I have tried the live tiles both on and off. I am usually not doing anything else with my phone because I listen to the radio while driving. I believe it happens with the screen both on and off. What kind of phone do you use? I have the Lumia 928 (Verizon only)...
