[Microsoft Surface] conmanxtreme:
Yeah the Surface at our staples is set up on and end cap, which isnt a terrible spot, but it doesn't quite jump out at you, and the end caps beside it are the Lenovo Twist and the new Samsung 23" All-in-one desktop, so its not terrible placement.
[Microsoft Surface] equisbox:
Hey guys me again

I said that I wasn't sure about whether I wanted the Surface anymore after seeing all the android tabs and what not (because I have a lot of experience with the android OS.) I love android, I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 currently, and I was thinking of buying an android tablet so everything would be synced and what not. After thinking about it some more, and going to my local Best Buy, to play with the Surface, I realized that I definitely wanted it over anything else. I realized that I want something new, and all android has to offer are the same things I can already do with my phone, just a little bigger. I'm definitely going to go purchase this tablet in the next few days.

As far as product placement, my local Best Buy did an excellent job of actual physical placement. It is right in front of you when you walk in the store. I, somehow, still missed it and had to ask an employee to point me in the right direction. They need a banner or some sort of sign. LOL. They need to hire me as a manager, I'm sure I can put my BA Business and MSIS degree to good use :)

I was worried about the screen resolution, but in person, it is everything and more. I am not that picky about resolution, as long as everything looks good, and everything looks amazing on the tablet. Who cares if it doesn't have the crazy high resolutions, because it is perfect for what it is.

Also, played with the type cover because that is the only cover they had out at my local Best Buy. I couldn't test the touch cover, but the type cover is amazing. I played around with office, and I literally fell in love with the little device. I must get it. I think if everyone would stop being so bias and give it a chance, they will fall in love with it. I am an android fan, but I am giving this tablet a chance. Plus, the android tablet I bought last year, I ended up returning because all it was to me is an overgrown phone. Every time I wanted to do something I couldn't decide whether to do it on my android phone or my android tablet. LOL! So I just returned it to avoid the headache altogether.

Anyhow, I don't think the stores are doing too hot with sales. I didn't even see anyone else playing with the tablet, maybe because I was hogging the only one they had out, but who knows. Sucks because I really want it to do well.

Costco: guy asks "where is the old windows ?"

Lady asks "are there any windows seven laptops left?"

mom+kids "we'll just go get an ipad" (kids cheering, after trying to use the w8 demo unit for a few minutes)

Bestbuy:

Lady "where are the new ipads?"

Dude "this thing has awesome specs! Do you know how to put real windows on it?" (To his buddy)

Salesguy, "ya, I don't know about the surface thing. Doesn't sell. Can't believe they didn't have the pro ready for christmas."

All folks who might have considered a surface, maybe. Its not getting any serious attention from what I've seen.
[Microsoft Surface] Zytryx:
I bought one from my local Best Buy, they just had it out with the other tablets, had the $499 32Gb, $599 32Gb with cover (One I got) and the $699 64Gb with cover.

I think Microsoft could really benefit for a better advertising campaign, also they should ship specific display models to stores that have a looping display on them. A black square with a black screen doesn't make one want to pick it up.

It's a nice device, build quality is awesome, OS is buggy though. Not sure if I'll keep it or not (have a month thanks to longer holiday return policy) or maybe get something like the 13" Lenovo yoga.

I still haven't gotten the white list hack to work, unless that was fixed not to in the latest update.

I still don't really get the hype or people waiting for the Pro, it's just a tablet computer, maybe it will be nicer in quality, buy really you can buy that now, the surface is great because of the battery life, size and for the most part a full OS, the pro looses most of that.

I do have to say I own a iPad mini and love the thing for size and weight but for the most part it's a gamming device, even my old full size ipad was just that also.

One of my first wishes for the surface is 4 rows of tiles instead of three, my start screen is getting kind of long!
[Microsoft Surface] guitar1969:
I also wish there were 4 tiles, and I also want the ability to group apps into folders on the start screen - I have over 100 apps installed and its a bit tough to manuevur, even with shrinking the size of the start screen shortcut.
[Microsoft Surface] adashofrainbow:
I just bought my Surface today from Best buy. They were completely out of Surface 32 gb with the Keyboard. And when I looked to get a keyboard separately they only had 2 left. Either they hardly ordered any, or they were selling well, I didn't bother to ask which was the case.
[Microsoft Surface] RonV42:
Best Buy in Schaumberg IL

On the 19th I visited the Best Buy here in Schaumberg, IL. This is a key store since it's in the Woodfield shopping mall district. The Surface put on display looks like it was just pulled out of the box and they glued one of those anti-theft devices to it and displayed it like a iPad on a post in the portrait position.

It took me about 10 minutes to even find it when I got to the store. There was no mention of the touch or type covers and the device was shut off. When I powered it on I was unable to even log into it to try it out. I asked someone if they could demo it for me and he was totally clueless and said that nobody was trained on it yet.

Today, 12/27, I went back and they now had it properly displayed landscape but still with the screen dark and a better description. The tiles were all messed up and not in the order you would see in a Microsoft store but at least it was workable. I didn't notice any stock around but at least they now had signage that explained the keyboards and the memory options. The one guy I spoke to said they have sold a few.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] pathtologos:
Hey all. I searched both here and in "Themes and Apps." Didn't find anything on this. Anyone try to install Max Payne Mobile and see if the device is compatible? I'm picking mine up tomorrow and I'm just curious. In the market, when looking at the app's "storefront," there's the list of supported devices. I see the original Note listed but not Note 2. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GrapePopRocks:
I have an ATT Galaxy S3 its been two days I've been trying to update from 2 different computers. I don't know what else to do. Someone please help me
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LordGeek:
Couple of questions before anyone can answer...

1 . How are you trying to update .. through KIES or ODIN ?

2 . How are you connecting it to your computer via USB .. Front or Rear ports ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GrapePopRocks:
Using Kies and side ports on laptop
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] repligation:
Are you using the micro usb cable that came with the phone?

A lousy cable or as mentioned above a crummy usb port could be a source of problems. Also is the laptop plugged in and the s3 fully charged?

Kies uses Odin to flash the firmware update via the USB cable to the phone, so technically you are using Odin. You wouldn't really notice Odin was being used during the flash unless you look carefully at the small dialog in the upper left corner of the s3 screen during the update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ralphie1267:
hi, what im trying to do is use odin to install root66 jb rom but before i do that i am running aokp 4.1.2 . do i first need to wipe phone before i use odin to flash rom or is it ok to just go head and install with odin? what i mean by wipeing phone is to wipe data /factory reset wipe cash wipe dav format system and what ever else there is in cwm to do. im just not sure havent done this before so some help would great.. thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
You'll need to do that wipe sooner or later (otherwise the stock ROM will fail to boot); you can either do it now or wait until after you've done the flash and use the stock recovery to do the wipe. I'd consider doing the wipe first to be easier.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GrapePopRocks:
Actually what I'm having issues with is Kies itself. I used a separate computer so that I could download Kies new but it's also a problem. Is there an easier way?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] guitarpunk8403:
Are you using the kies version from the support page on Samsung.com for YOUR phone? If you're trying to use kies instead of a mini version for a US phone, that hasn't worked for any of the other Galaxy line phones (at least in my experience).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
I don't know if this qualifies as easier (it would for me), but if Kies isn't working for you for whatever reason, you might try just using Odin directly. You can get Odin itself over in this thread, and completely stock images over in this thread; if you want the latest AT&T build, that would be this one.

(If you're slightly more ambitious, you could also try the rooted-but-otherwise-stock images found here, as a gateway to future customisation, but that's entirely up to you...)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GrapePopRocks:
Yes it's Kies from the support page. I will try with Odin directly see how that goes. If not I will be back LOL
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cjranucci:
To put it kindly, Kies is a steaming pile of cr4p. To be honest, upgrading via Odin with the official ROM is the best way to go. I spent days trying to get my phone to connect to Kies and it was a mess. I went to the AT&T store and they told me that there wasn't anything that they can do, this is an open issue. It works for some people, not others.

Finally I downloaded Kies on my wife's Mac and it worked. So maybe try a Mac?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GrapePopRocks:
My sister has a Mac I will try that

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jinjin12:
i just downloaded new york city offline map with google maps. and now i turn it on without the wifi and i've enabled gps but it can seem to track my location. i've left it for 30 mins and still nothing. is this a problem with my nexus 4 GPS or does google maps not work with GPS in offline mode?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snatch22:
I actually have this same problem that I discovered today, I downloaded GPS status and toolbox and if I leave that to keep attempting to get a lock it will work eventually (and maps will get the lock information). I think maps just won't try long enough to get a lock since for whatever reason the GPS lock without wifi/cell towers can be very slow.

Obviously I'm not an expert about what I'm talking about here but I think it might have something to do with the timeout on the gps locating in maps.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Deleted member 3452239:
If 'fastboot devices' returns nothing, then you are most likely missing drivers. Easiest way to get drivers is install HTC Sync Manager. It will install the app and the drivers, you can safely uninstall the app later and still have the drivers stay installed

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] codeprimate:
reboot to fastboot, but do not select bootloader (it should say "Fastboot" in red writing just underneath the green text and above the orange text.

connect it via usb to your pc, and it should say "fastboot usb", then you should be able to use fastboot commands. if it doen't allow you to use fastboot commands, try a different usb port, or reinstalling the drivers.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] codeprimate:
Hmmm, when it rebooted it stopped at the htc screen? This sounds like it's not going to the fastboot mode. Reboot with the volume held down. That should get to the fastboot mode.

After I push the boot.img through fastboot, when I reboot it just sticks on the HTC boot screen. I can get to the fastboot screen but I already have the boot.img on there. What next? should it work?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] codeprimate:
go to your recovery and flash the ROM (the boot.img is just the kernel) if you haven't done that.
