[Nexus 4 Accessories] Hung0702:
The hardback case has a catch to help it stay closed. It'd be easier for left hand users to open the case via tightly gripping the phone with four fingers on the face, then popping the catch up with their thumb. The flap also has a bend in the middle for propping up the phone, but the bend also facilitates this action opening by the manner I described.

I'm a right-handed person but prefer using the phone with my left hand. Just feels more comfortable to me. This case would be better for me to open, but I prefer the right side to be open so that it's easier to access the power button at all times.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] mrbkkt1:
I'll buy if it's cheap enough as a temporary case until official n4 accessories come out.

Looks like a d3o case.

I'm trying to find out what line of what file I edit in SystemUI to center the status bar clock. I've searched the forums and can't find it. Thank you for any help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fress:
try flash other rom with centered clock build in :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
It's /res/layout/status_bar.xml

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.policy.Clock

I have tired to modify it for 4.2.1 stock ROM but no luck with decompiling and recompiling whatever I try to do..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] urko95:
Delete the clock from the lock screen, like when you delete a widget from the lock screen. Then, add the clock widget to the lockscreen again and you will have your clock centered.

global questions from germany

software

1. why does imap in the windows rt mail app works not correct, i think there must be a restriction for sync of max directorys, so the app is not usable, i missing many directorys from my german 1and1 mail hoster (the same on desktop pc win8 pro)?

2. why does the surface rt go offline on 5% battery, shutting down os and no oppinion to start the tablet with the less power?

3. why i cannot deinstall apps from windows rt app store?

4. how i can global disable live titles?

5. very great powershell v3, but i missing "powershell ise", will it be available in future?

6. how i can switch my language from my default osd-keyboard between writing this words (from german to english), i found no key on osd for this?

7. how i can change to different skydrive-accounts in metro-app (the mapped 7gb ist wrong, based on @outlook-com), becouse i have a another old account with 25gb, based on @web.de)

8. does in future coming a fix which enable automatic osd-keyboard in desktop-mode?

hardware

1. when will be the fifth cpu kernel available from the tegra3 for less processes like reading ebooks or surfing the web?

2. when will the stuttering problems on many games will be fixed (like jetpack joyride, baller etc.)
[Microsoft Surface] UBNAS81:
1. Is there any way to run streaming audio (Google Play, or Pandora) in the background? Only way I have gotten it to work is to use small split screen window.

2. Is there a way to customize the snap setting on the size of multi task windows? We should be able to make open app window whatever size we want.
[Microsoft Surface] the_tyrant:
Is there a hack that would allow us to snap two programs side by side 50/50?
[Microsoft Surface] a1jatt:
1.any usb-serial adapter that will work with the surface Rt?

2. Any usb data modem / stick that works with the surface ?
[Microsoft Surface] schettj:
1) do you have the correct imap prefix set? How many folders do you have?

2) probably because deep cycling the battery under 5% reduces overall battery life

3) you can't? http://www.wpcentral.com/microsoft-surface-rt-tip-deleting-apps

4) http://superuser.com/questions/496906/how-can-i-remove-live-tile-updates-in-windows-8

5) possibly never, but I agree that would be awesome

6) don't understand - keyboard should use your global language setting

7) you could always share your bigger skydrive's account with your smaller skydrive account - that should make the space accessable from the smaller account. Do that in the skydrive web interface.

8) ?
[Microsoft Surface] C-Lang:
I don't think that would work well with app resolution issues. However, it may be possible to do something like this. If you want to do research or something with ie, etc. Just go to the desktop. Snap still works. Take a look.
[Microsoft Surface] -Falco:
Take the two apps that are loaded on the desktop and drag one to far top left, and drag one to far top right. Then the two will be side by side.

This is already happening, it is entirely transparent to the user.

This will probably depend on the game devs. Games like jetpack joyride stutter and lag on my i5-2310 desktop computer when using touchscreen inputs.
[Microsoft Surface] everal:
1.) where i can set, here my infos to the imap-syncing issue...

(i think there must be a restriction to the count of directorys, becouse new emails in the exist directorys are synct correct.

i have only a overall of 20 root-directory and a 222 down-under-directorys

i missing a count of 14 root-directorys with 71 down-under-directorys

2.) ok thanks, so how i can configure a first warning at 10 percent and the second at may be on 6 percent?

3.) i know, but i miss a deinstall-routine direct from the app-store, not from the metro-ui

4.) thanks that is new for me, i must play with local group policy...

5.) i hope to :)

6.) the problem is i'am a german user with a german os, but offen i write english text in different forums, so the dictionary is not automaticly set to "english", very very bad for the typing process...

7.) how does it work, how does i share my bigger account to my smaller account?

at the moment i mapp my bigger account through the windows explorer with the following path: https://d.docs.live.net/xxx

8.) i mean when i start in desktop mode the cmd and i would typing no osd-keyboard will be enabled automaticly, i must push the icon in the tray-list to start the osd-keyboard

1. when will be the fifth cpu kernel available from the tegra3 for less processes like reading ebooks or surfing the web?

This is already happening, it is entirely transparent to the user.

- i don't think that is possible today, becouse the main cpu tact is reduced to 1,3 ghz instead of 1,7 ghz becouse the companion core with 500mhz is not usable, so they reducing the main cores to reach a good battery lifetime

--------------------------------------

2. when will the stuttering problems on many games will be fixed (like jetpack joyride, baller etc.)

This will probably depend on the game devs. Games like jetpack joyride stutter and lag on my i5-2310 desktop computer when using touchscreen inputs.

- ok thanks so i can only hope that the devs will soon fix this big problem

Thinking and knowing are 2 different things, Not all Tegra3 SoCs are clocked to 1.7GHz 1.3 or 1.4GHz top clock is quite standard.
[Microsoft Surface] Laban:
Got my Surface yesterday and installed all the updates and restarted it a few times, battery lasted without any problems. Last evening it was about 50% and then this morning it was turned off and I notices that the battery was completely drained over night. Something must be wrong I guess?
[Microsoft Surface] C-Lang:
So... to trigger the warning sooner or change auto shut-down:

1. Search battery, tap "Settings" on the searchbar.

2. Tap "change battery Settings"

3. In the following screen, tap "Change plan settings", then "change advanced power settings"

4. In that window, tap the "Battery" option

5. There are options that say "Low battery level" and "Critical battery level" you can change low battery level to change when the notification shows, and critical battery level to change the auto shut-down. I only turned critical to 4% to avoid doing a "dirty" shut-down, so as not to damage the system.

If I helped, please hit thanks!

Is there a way to get movie\tv info to show on your own videos in video app?

I like having the info with purchased movies and tv shows in the xbox video app. Does anyone have any tips to get your own ripped videos to display information in the video app? Or a different app that can do it? I use xbmc on my htpc which would work great but all they have in the app store is the xbmc remote.

Can you use a pen stylus on Surface RT

Hey all,

I have searched the internet and correct me if I am wrong that Surface Pro comes with stylus.... But I really want the surface RT because of the thinner design and the longer battery life compared to Surface Pro but I really wanted to use a stylus so I can write notes on the screen in meetings. I was thinking of the Samsung ATIV as it has SNote and stylus included and has full windows 8 but there is something about the Surface.

Has anyone used a stylus and not one of the filthy fat things you use on an ipad, the actual one that look like a pen with a small nib.

Thanks
[Microsoft Surface] C-Lang:
I have, and they are ok, but you have to keep your hand up, which you wouldn't have to on the surface pro.
[Microsoft Surface] seal:
This is really disapointing, so is it only the Surface Pro that see the tip of the pen and cuts out other touch on the screen?

Might have to get the Samsung ATIV instead but I love the Surface RT.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Surface RT has only a capacitive touchscreen. It doesn't have a stylus digitizer at all. The only kind of stylus that will work with it is one that mimics the capacitive characteristics of a finger, and if your hand is on or near the screen at the same time it has no way of telling that you're using a stylus vs. making a multi-touch gesture.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
1) No idea

2) Google what cloud really means. One could say that there are tonnes of media players to choose from so why are there so many, common competition. My preferred cloud storage services are google drive, dropbox and skydrive. For your situation I would use skydrive because it is integrated with RT and has an android app.

3) You need the jailbreak and then maimachs x86 emulator which is hideously slow for what you probably want. We are talking 15-20 year old hardware. There are tonnes of guides on how to jailbreak (root is the wrong term). A windows RT tablet runs ARM code, A windows laptop runs x86 code. The 2 are mutually incompatible.

4) You already covered that yourself. Got to wait for VLC to eventually release and I think they are planning x86 only for first launch.

5) You don't install them. You download the rom file to your documents, then tell the emulator to open them with that rather conveniently load button... We cannot aid you in where to get the ROM's from, this is piracy which is against the XDA rules (the emulator itself is legal, but ROM files are properties of their respective developers so as you can imagine we don't exactly condone piracy). I'm sure you can work it out from google....

6) On windows 8.1 maybe, I run 8.0 though (the jailbreak mentioned already DOES NOT work in 8.1 btw before you try to update to that).

7) We arent here for that kind of assistance especially when it took me less than 5 seconds to get an answer from google.

8) Google. There are plenty but none are fast (limits of computational ability I am afraid), they take awhile.
[Microsoft Surface] slow_mo_panda:
2. & 5. & 7. & 8. Did I read wrong when I saw in the OP on this thread that saying "Google it" was NOT an acceptable answer?

2. I already KNOW that there are craploads of 'clouds', but it doesn't help me when I don't know which one is best used with my tablet, Android phone, AND laptop. Since I have a 6 months FREE card for PogoPlug, I might as well try that, although it seems to tell me that it's not even usable on my Surface, which makes less than zero sense, given that I got the 6 month card free WITH the tablet. I don't really see paying more than $5 a month for something I can really do myself with my portable storage hard drives.

3. So is there any way to ROOT my tablet then? Since jailbreaking basically turns it into a useless paperweight, can I ROOT the surface into a different tablet? At this point, if I can't make it use Win7 (which I was under the impression I COULD do before I bought it), then even making it Android would be better than the current crap that's on it. I have ROOTED a few devices before, turning them into Android, so I am familiar with that.

4. I have had a VLC player on my laptop for years now. Did I say my laptop was Win8? Because it's not, it's Win7. So basically you are saying there is NO WAY to play ANYTHING on my tablet besides mp4???

5. It's freaking hilarious that ROMs are considered 'against the rules' here, but I read all over the place about illegal hacking, rooting, 'jailbreaking', and using programs that REQUIRE ROMs to WORK. If you can't talk about ROMs, then why even mention emulators??

Thanks for the reply, helpful or not...

disable middle button auto-scrolling surface arc mouse

The arc software does not have an option to disable the middle button. The middle button is activated when you tap the center of the scroll area twice. I've never used it, never will but several times a day while scrolling I accidentally activate auto-scroll.

I've looked through the registry but could not find an easy fix. My next option may be to find software to disable it. Does anyone know of a good way to disable the auto-scroll or know of a good software option?

I'm using the arc mouse with a surface pro 2.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
This has nothing to do with the Surface, so probably best not posted here, but I'll give it a shot... have you checked the Mouse control panel? Microsoft mice usually come with a control panel (desktop, not "Metro") that will let you control what the buttons do. Just disable the auto-scroll option. (Sorry I can't help more; I don't have one of those weird not-fully-physical-buttons mice...)

VGA adapter for surface pro 2

Just wondering if you have to buy the official surface pro 2 vga adapter ($50) or can you buy generic ones on ebay or amazon ($5-10). I have read that there is a possibility you could damage the internals of the mini-displayport on the Surface Pro 2 because the generic adapters are not cut to the tapered shape of the edge of the surface pro, and therefore could move around and damage the port. People have also written that you sometimes need to cut the plastic on the generic adapters so that they fit in with the shape of the edge of the surface. Looking for a more definite opinion from people who have actually used generic adapters, as what I have read has been debated on both sides.

Thanks :D
[Microsoft Surface] jandevries12:
The displayport slot on the Surface is not very deep. So if the plug of the adapter is not too short (say about 5mm), you won't have any problems.

I bought a cheap one and it works just fine :)
[Microsoft Surface] seb7721:
Ok thanks, good to hear. No hint of it moving around because there is no plastic from the adapter resting on the edge of the Surface and supporting it?
[Microsoft Surface] JeffATL:
Sometimes when I go to log in and wake the computer on my Surface Pro the camera comes on. Anyone know why this and how to disable it?

Thanks.
[Microsoft Surface] angusc:
Yeah to disable the camera activation from the lock screen (it's actually a feature for those that want it) go to settings/PC and devices/lock screen

Then scroll all way to bottom and turn off "swipe down on the lock screen to use the camera" option.
[Microsoft Surface] dima_lv:
Hi all,

I was thinking of buying the surface 2,

is the type cover any good? I am going

to use the surface mainly for typing..
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
Depends on what you are typing and how much you will type.

Its a small keyboard, might be a bit cramped for some users and is horrible to program on, but for all I know you could just be blogging in which case its probably more than adequete. Get over to a store that has a surface on display and try it out, failing that its like an old netbook keyboard in terms of size and layout but with a much nicer feel from the keys.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Eh, for a tablet/10" laptop keyboard, it's actually fantastic. Full-size keys and layout (unlike most small laptop keyboards, which are like 95% scale), and sensible key layout. I have used even the Touch Cover for programming; the Type Cover would be much better. For general keyboarding it should suit your needs fine. I can get essentially my full WPM on it no problem. It's not ergonomic, of course, but that's true of nearly all mobile keyboards.

Mind you, if you want a "really real" keyboard with all the keys (a few very rarely used ones are missing) and so on, a Bluetooth or even USB external offers a lot more options and costs less. It's also likely to double the volume of Stuff you have to carry around with you, though, compared to just the Surface + Cover.
[Microsoft Surface] dima_lv:
Glad to hear that, I was actually thinking of using the Surface for programming amongst other things!

Thank you for the help
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
If you have a Microsoft Store (or possibly some other electronics retailer) nearby where you could try one out (alternatively, if a friend has one...) you should do that. It's pretty good, especially in light of its thinness, but I would not want it as my main development keyboard. There's a difference between "can code on it" and "would choose to use it for coding". Without knowing the size of your hands and the way you type and a bunch of other stuff like that, I can't really help you more.
[Microsoft Surface] gwithrow:
Yes, the "2" has a more tactile feel and it has led lights in it. The mouse pad still sux though

Facebook app problems

I recently got the surface rt and love it except I can't use the Facebook app from the windows store. Every time I try to use it, it says I have the wrong password. I tried changing my password 3 times, deleting and re-downloaded the app, I tried all the Facebook apps at the store they all do the same thing. If I go through internet explorer Facebook works fine.... its just the apps. Can anyone help me?
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Have you completely disabled apps within your Facebook account settings? If you try using FB apps from another platform (phone, or a non-Windows tablet, for example), does it work?

Why doesn't my Microsoft Surface RT tablet not show my CradlePoint COR IBR600 router?

My Microsoft Surface RT tablet does not show my CradlePoint COR IBR600 router. Does anyone know why? The tablet can find my cisco router perfectly fine.

My laptop (acer) along with all Apple products can pick up the CradlePoint router fine but when I force my tablet (Surface RT) (and my Android (Galaxy s3)) to look for the router it says "out of range". Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Problem Background:

I need to have my tablet connect to the cradlepoint router (need wifi not cable connectivity, and I need to use this exact router) for a presentation.

I did reconfigure both (tablet and router) and I did set them back to factory. When I do this, the first time everything connects. When I restart the tablet I loss connectivity and the tablet cannot see the router on the available wifi connections. I’ve done this roughly 4 times and every time it occurs. Seems like a router setup but when I contacted both Microsoft and Cradlepoint they just point fingers at one another. I’m having no luck figuring it out on my own; any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Microsoft Surface] willisjm193:
I know it sounds strange, but its because the date and time aren't set correctly. Even if it's one minute off it'll cause issues. It's something to do with security; firewall will block some internet programs.

I set it to match internet time, then set it to auto update and it's been fine ever since.

is there a way to install programs STEAM , PHOTOSHOP on to sd card on surface pro 2?

---------- Post added at 06:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:46 AM ----------

whats the longest time you played a game on your surface?

is it possible for the surface to overheat and just break?

i have the surface pro 2
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
Yes, of course it is... just change the install path (they way nearly any installer let you) to a folder on the SD card (like D:\Programs\ or something) instead of C:\Program Files\. Nothing special at all; all versions of Windows have been able to do this.

Unless you block the vents (hard, since they are all around the tablet, but hypothetically possible) overheating is very unlikely.

Can I install gcc compiler on Surface RT?

Hi,

I want to know if there is a way to install gcc compiler on Surface RT

without

jailbreak it.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
Nope. Even with the jailbreak, the GCC compiler cannot be compiled under MSVC so cannot run on Surface RT, nor can the GCC compiler target Win32 on THUMB2 to compile programs for RT itself.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
It actually might be possible to build GCC itself - not sure, but maybe - but getting it to produce Win32/ARM binaries is the main problem.
[Microsoft Surface] CosmicGW:
Surface pro2 most unhappy.

I recently bought Surface Pro 2 and Touch 2 keyboard with Win81 to make the jump from XP. I have been astounded at the amount of wasted time required to deal with the quirks and stupidities of finding my way around the system. Finally I decided to wipe the drive and install Win7, but found that M$ has used a new architecture that will not allow Win7 or any older OS to run.

So back to the drawing board.... I wish I had never bought it. ..
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
set the bios to legacy mode, it can run windows 7.
[Microsoft Surface] CosmicGW:
Thats the problem its not a BIOS

My Surface Pro 2 does not have a BIOS it has UEFI 3 the M$ improved version that is not compatible with Win7.

My only UEFI options are Trusted Platform on/off Secure Boot on/off and Secure boot keys.

Agreed, I can run an emulator mode or VMBox which gives a performance hit and defeats the purpose of paying for a high performance hardware.

I am still not a happy bunny.
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
a) Microsoft didnt create UEFI

b) http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2417361,00.asp
