anyone know where to get the AAAA battery for the pen?

And I was just about to tell people about my video regarding where to find AAAA batteries in Malaysia tongue.gif

TLDR; Your best chance of buying a pair is at RadioShack, it's the only place I've find that has a high chance of ready stock of AAAA. Your last resort is... ripping open a 9V battery and hope it contains AAAA like batteries... watch the video and you'll know why there's an emphasis on hope. tongue.gif

and now that makes me wonder. How long will the battery last for our Surface pen? Should we keep a stock ourselves?

Yeah under regular use it's about 1 year.

The issues that I have with new OneNote

1. No full screen writing... There will always bar on top of the screen taking precious screen estate
2. No pen point size adjust
3. Taskbar might hinder usage for some people, not for me but I can imagine that might be big issue.

those are all my complain... Other than that, it is fine but I like OneNote on Win8 a lot better...

You could just download and use the desktop version instead of the Modern app version. which is what I'm doing.

What do mean by SP3 cable?

I am refering to this port:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


Also, i notice when i plug to the pic above usb port on the power brick, the SP3 charger light start to blink and stop charging my SP3, aside from my Android phone charging on and off also.

If the current draw on your phone is too high or something it'll do that. For me I switched the cable to another one and it started working again.

Got my Surface Pro 4 yesterday. Loving it a lot. I do get flickering when screen brightness keep changing specially when <20% and sometimes with keyboard attached I cannot boot or slow boot no idea why. Already updated to latest firmware but still no TH2 udpdate for due to some weird MS policy

Disable the auto screen brightness, I've tried many tablets > Win8, the auto brightness always goes crazy, especially when it's at the lower brigthness settings.

Why I couldn't use my hand phone charger to charge my Surface 3? Under power?

You should use something that's capable of reaching 2A, if your charger can't push enough current. Then you can try making it charge by turning off your tablet and then plugging it in. So the charger has a chance of pushing more current in than it drawing it out.
