Surface Pro X - SQ2 - sleep issues related to Qualcomm Location (ACPI\QCOM0472)
Hi there, Been having issues with sleep on Surface Pro X SQ2. Essentially, when the lid closes, or it goes to sleep, it sometimes didn't wake up (needing hard restart) or rebooted / crashed during sleep. This has been going on for six or so months. I did a clean install which made no difference. After reading through event viewer, I think I have isolated it to ACPI\QCOM0472\0 - which is Qualcomm Location services - and the driver doesn't seem to install / has error messages related to it in device manager event viewer. I've disabled it in device manager and it seems to be helping. Presume its hardware related? Thanks
Google Drive App install error on Surface X Pro with Win 10 Pro
Hi, I'm getting error installing Google Drive App on a Windows 10 Pro Surface X Pro. Google says they are non developing compatible driver for ARM architecture on Microsoft. Is there any workaround to be able to install Google Drive for desktop? Thank you
Should arm based surface devices use nvidia processors instead?
This might sound wired. But when I saw the Nintendo switch using a custom tegra based processor that can run mid resource intensive games while giving about 5 hours of battery life out of just a 16 whr battery, it surprised me. I kept searching nvidia’s website and found out that the tegra x1 on shield to is very powerful yet efficient. Although 10 watts may seem a lot, but it’s 20nm compared to today’s 5nm. Nvidia markets them as mobile processors, and scaling it down to 5nm means a lot of efficiency for the same performance, which should even give some headroom for to increase the power by a little margin to get some more performance. I know that the processor has older cpu and gpu but it can be simply made up by using today’s new RTX and arm counterparts.
