Surface Duo 2 and How I Fixed Its Terrible Touch Response

I have had the Duo 2 for 5 months now. I love the device despite it's most glaring issue. This is my experience with the device and my work around to get it fixed.

This worked on my Surface Duo 1 when the lower and upper 1/4 of the screen stopped working. Thanks so much dude.

Thank you so much for this, I've struggled with touch lag ever since I got this phone, it works so much better now!

I have a Duo 1 and when i saw this on scaryifliteral channel i was like "I don't feel any lag with my phone, but let's try it anyway"
I tried your fix and i was really surprised how much lag i was experiencing without noticing it. I've clearly adapted to the lag.
Just changing the orientation took like 1 or 2 second before the fix and like half a seconds after the fix.
I'll have to wait and see if it affects battery life in the long run though.

This WORKED. Literally just tried it and I IMMEDIATELY saw responsiveness pick up. Even before I restarted the phone.

Gonna have to wait to see what longtime usage looks like but so far…it’s lovely.

Hey thanks for this tip. I have a Duo One and these changes have greatly improved the interface and keyboard performance.

Wow the difference!! Thank you so much for your advise. I love the phone. It does so much more than an iPhone but the typing was hard and lagging. Thank you for taking the time and sharing.

I have exactly the same experience you do. The surface Duo 2 is my favorite phone ever but I'm also super frustrated with it. I just applied your fix and so far it looks great, I'm not sure yet if it's working for me since I only just did it, but I am grateful for this! Even if the fix doesn't work I'm so glad there are people like you out there trying to figure this out. But, like I said so far it's way better! Thank you! I'm very hopeful that this will be the thing I need.

That's Not Ricardio, I feel this video has problems. Blah, blah, blah, but I fixed it. Just skip this video entirely, if you have no touch issues (SD2 touch works great for me, for example). Or go to 6:30 when he gets to his point, which might help some people. In other words, scripting isn't always bad. A little bit of scripting, to help you focus, would make your videos better in my opinion.

One of the first things I do when I get a new android phone to also increase responsiveness is to enable developer options(tap many times on build number in about phone until a message mentions being a developer) and look for Window animation scale, Transition scale, and Animator duration scale and set those to off. That should make your phone feel much snappier as well.

Dude, thank you so much for that fix! I have the Duo 2 and the fix completely changed the game for this phone! You earned yourself a subscriber and a like!!!

On My Duo 2 this didn't work for me. But after I did do this, I also went back in and cleared Cashe in the Microsoft and Launcher3 apps and now my duo 2's touch and scrolling response is as good as my S22 Ultra's. I went back and re-Optimized the apps referred to in this video and the issue has not reoccurred... still excellent touch response. Interesting how these fixes differ from user to user??

Hi, Im Jose from Puerto Rico, and thanks for the help with this. I noticed an improvement. Now is more fluid and responsive... 👍👍👍👍👍.

That's Not Ricardio Could you please share a website that you have found this amazing Alita wallpaper? I wasted an hour and could not find this blue / purple background version.

Once I disabled the vibration feedback with the original Duo the typing became way better. I don't know what horrendous motor that they used, or even the digitizer but yeah definitely not the strong suit of the device.

I cant type the letter a, often. I have to unfold the phone to get control of the keyboard.

[komarkko]

SD1, I used to have difficulty with gesture navigation, this seems to have fixed the issue. Hope it's not just placebo effect.

[vmac]

Yes, even as I type this response, touch is spot. Most times it works fine, but occasionally I have touch issues. Usually closing and reopening helps.

[Kenneth]

Btw what's the Manga app u using?

[KeithRickards]

Blooming genius. I was literally on the cusp of selling this thing but so far, after your advice, It's fixed! Just now need to sort out my typos 🤣 Microsoft need to see this video. Thank you very much

[fahadsarwar]

i have the same issue with my device. Typing is horrible in it. It mostly never registers space bar and when you try to type fast keyboard response is too slow. Horrible typing experience.
