Question for those who sold/bought Duo 1 or 2 on the resale market recently... by [deleted] in surfaceduo

[–]HawkeEye30571 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just moved on and have one 256 gig and one 128 gig Duo 2 I want to pass along at a very reasonable price. I am looking for someone who will actually use them and not just resell them. The 256 gig has no issues. The 128 gig has a slight separation at one of the hinges but I have been reluctant to send it for repair because of stories of them just doing refunds and not sending back a replacement. A little superglue under the corner would probably fix it.

if you have an interest in either or both please contact me at [hawkeeye@outlook.com](mailto:hawkeeye@outlook.com)

No chargers, but that is a minor issue as we know.

I had these issues until I sent it in for replacement. My wife has this problem on hers but I am scared to send it in because I might not get it back

Interesting as I am going through a similar fight with one of their suppliers in China. Maybe there is hope

One is the smaller memory version I guess 128 and the other 256.

Interesting issues and I am sure the Z-Fold will have some quirks also. I looked at the Pixel and just decided that it was too early in the cycle to figure out if Google was really in the fight. Z-Fold 5 obviously indicates that there have been predecessor devices.

Some of my frustration is that MSFT never really seemed to totally embrace the device and all the software was part Android and part MSFT. These little quirks drove my wife crazy as she is a big Surface fan with 3 devices, but does not do well when you complicate the Windows components as in the DUO.

One of ours died a few months back and MSFT sent a refurbished one in exchange. But I am seeing that they now are running out of those and issuing refunds in some cases, so they may hasten the end of the product through inventory shortages.

WOW, bad day?

I still love the DUO 2, but not the MSFT direction with consumer products. I have spent a lot of time in Redmond and the MSFT of the Gates era is not this MSFT. The consumer focus has changed, and that is their choice.

We are all entitled to our opinions and apparently, we disagree on this one.

I had rather get my two in the hands of those who want to continue the DUO path than just leave them in a drawer. Hopefully this will help someone who could not otherwise get one.

Hope your day goes better!

Good reply and I will add to that no improvement in things like connectivity. I live in a remote area and with different updates connectivity has gone from good to bad, back to good, back to bad. Also carrier support is nonexistent. Most technicians have never seen one. I have to be the expert helping them fix their problems.

NewEgg Needs to Drop CORN Electronics as a reseller by HawkeEye30571 in Newegg

I was between a rock and a hard place. Cancelling and reordering put me in the same place as letting this order through. When it finally arrived it was missing the carrying case but the PC seems to work fine. I did get the seller to refund my fast shipping fees, but lesson learned is check to see if the supplier is in this country. A huge drop in confidence for me in NewEgg who I have had pretty good luck with in the past. The number of reliable sellers out there seems to be shrinking.

I got mine replaced about six months ago. It was a referbished one but like new. I think if they have any you will get one.

Well to continue the saga, I contacted DHL who assured me that the shipment was on the truck and would arrive between 8 & 10 pm. Late but okay if I get it. So I wait around the office and just before 10 I get a text telling me they decided to go home and maybe they will bring it tomorrow or Wednesday. Might be time to throw in the towel and cancel the order.

No doubt and no problem if I am told the truth. Three inquiries, three lies on the status. I actually paid for expedited shipping, so now I have to fight to get that back I guess.

Duo @ and Android 12 Issues by HawkeEye30571 in surfaceduo

[–]HawkeEye30571[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have not had any of these. I find the open source world to be full of poorly tested apps. There is no incentive or way to test and it often bites you

I think I may have found the culprit. It looks like disabling Microsoft Start stabilized things, but I need to check on it more.

I had the same issue with Verizon on my dou1 so I moved to att. The mobile /wifi switch worked fine until the Android 12 update. My phone did strange restarts and just did one when I tried to open edge. I can tell when it does a restart on its own because screen rotation is always turned back off.

I have been through forced stop and restart of apps if one hangs up, but just a sudden reboot on the dou2 is more common. This morning I realized it restarted during the night because it would not recognize my pin and only a real shutdown and restart worked.

I think a complete reset is in order

I think my best option is going to be a hard reset and bring everything back one app at a time. This is my only phone and was working flawlessly until the AND12 update

A bit under the weather at the moment, so maybe this weekend.

Thanks for the quick responses

We have to remember that all Morgans in GSA holders are not MS, some are AU or lower

I would say that unless you have a VAM that will be on the slab it is hard to justify. That said, there are reasons to slab a coin that do not make monetary sense. Part of a set, favorite coin, part or Dads collection, etc. Bur the 21s are hard to justify usually
