    Surface Duo 2 Battery vs. Duo

    I switched to Verizon hoping for better coverage over AT&T. Still seeing 1 bar. I need to turn off cellular Sunday to see it's impact. My SD1 doesn't have sim so one reason it does better at times. At least now I can put it down and when I check later only down a few points.

    Surface Duo 2 Battery vs. Duo

    I went and disabled develooer mode setting for always on when plugged, shouldn't be an issue but. Also recently installed Verizon Call Filter, worked on OSD but won't even allow signup and it keeps trying even in background spinning it's wheels. Uninstalled apps rarely used and might be...

    Surface Duo 2 Battery vs. Duo

    The SD2 as of now is worse. The SD1 went down 7% overnight from 100 to 93% The SD2 went from 100 to 79% The SD1 was overheating during first week, maybe bit longer. Anything over 37° and it would hit 40-41 rather a lot consistently. In the past I used something other than Gsam but can't find...

    Surface Duo 2 Battery vs. Duo

    I charged it to 100% last night before bed, unplugged, in the m it was down to 80%. At first I thought it was better, better than my first Duo, bought recently. So yes it is not good. No games but use it all day for casual use. The charger from the OSD I had a pop up notification that it wasn't...

    Sounds like you have two slim pens? And chargers?

    Questions for Duo Owners

    I wonder if the last batch changed? I have one, and SD2, and I prefer the SD1. No issues really, only software. Feels solid, lays flat. I don’t need camera or NFC. You will want slim pen 3 and newest charger. Hoping updates to Microsoft Launcher over next months improves on issues.

    surface slim pen

    I am finding slim pen 2 works great with SD1, maybe even better than with SD2 by a slim margin. Using new $34 charger. 2. I tried using other pens from Microsoft and 3rd party and were not as good - but was $130 + $34 investment.

    Surface Duo Battery Issues

    When I got SD2 on 21st it informed me that my SD1 charger was insufficient with powering. Switched to another charger, Apple 29W USBC and fine. Also bought Anker 40W dual port charger. Not all chargers or cables are the same or can fail. Bought from MS. Mine has Developer Options enabled and...

    Thoughts now that the Duo 2 is official

    Stability update was waiting for 2 am update. Love aspect ratio for video, web. Option to open YouTube and others in dual screen mode when both screens are not populated. Had to switch to Gboard. The slopped edge blocks back buttons and taping. I prefer the flat Duo screen in that regard...

    Thoughts now that the Duo 2 is official

    Got the Surface Slim Pen 2. No LED light. Can't charge it with Laptop 2 or Go 2 (and of course my Duo 1) surface devices. No accessory other than the $65 Duo 2 case - - now not sure until mid November - - to charge it? That makes it $139 + $65. My $39 Renaisser pen works on all my Surface...

    Thoughts now that the Duo 2 is official

    I need to see if Android 11 and 12.1 or hardware helps with pen input, screen orientation, and apps behave better. Even this forum has trouble with full screen double height. Input fields blocked by hinge, layout of keyboard. Pen touch, is it the pen or the screen or how pen action is...

    I cant connect to my router admin page but I'm connected to the internet via the same routers wifi?

    Netgear Nighthawk wants you to use their mobile app to setup and update firmware. Go back to your lan connection. I have to turn off AdGuard Pro to make changes to router. Also, you haven't updated router firmware it sounds like in years?
