Hey all just curious if anyone else is having issues with their Surface Pro 3 unit like i am. So far I have the same issues that my SP2 and SP1 unit had (Keyboard) However some new ones have cropped up with the mythical Heartbeat sound (headphones/external speakers) and Wifi turning into a lan connection.
Another important issue is that my Surface Pro 2 (128g) had better FPS than my Surface Pro 3 (128g). I am convinced that my SP3 is a little sketchy, and has visible screen tearing in the metro interface, as well as other areas. Its not a heat issue either. I haven't down clocked, or modified anything, just straight out of the box it felt like it had less FPS than my SP2 unit.
Keyboard issues: Sometimes the keyboard is not recognized when going from connected standby to on state. Usually requires a few un-plug/plug-ins to recognize keyboard. Also, if i turn my SP3 off with keyboard attached, then detach the keyboard and turn on the unit, the on screen keyboard will not show for login, period. Albeit small issue, I can always force show the helper keyboard by going to the bottom left.
Heartbeat sound: When i have headphones plugged in, or external speakers plugged in, after 5ish minutes of no sound events, a feint heartbeat noise will emmit from headphones/speakers. I've tried reverting drivers, changing drivers, this issue always returns.
Wifi issues: Before the supposed WIFI fix i didn't really have any issues. However, after the fix occasionally (once a day) the WIFI will disappear and turn into a lan connection and will require a restart to work normally again.
If anyone has any suggestions I am all ears.
