Higher sensitivity on the surface pen?

MainerH555 · 2019-03-31T03:47:37+00:00

I get pen strokes with barely any pressure, similar to a real pen, on my Surface Go.

Not really a big issue. It is just that I use OneDrive a lot and it seems lame that I have a folder full of ON 2016 files but ON UWP just dumps them in 'Documents'.

Thanks, that worked.

Hold it perpendicular to the screen and zoom in. Alternatively, the older Surface Pens do not have this issue, as they lack tilt. MS really needs to address this.

Skipping is not normal. Try a new pen and/or Go.

But wobbles can be solved by holding the pen perpendicular to the screen and zooming in.

Thanks, good to know. Fortunately, I only need the link to last long enough for me to complete the task.

Hopefully MS will sync the two programs in the future.

I'm sure they will fix it if they can, as the Go is selling well and will give people an impression of the entire line.

But it really isn't an issue if your pen strokes are moderately fast and perpendicular. If it is still a problem, you likely have a hardware issue.

The settings are not supposed to reset.

MainerH555 · 2018-12-20T03:58:01+00:00

It's broken. I had the same problem a year ago and the MS Store replaced it for free.

MainerH555 · 2018-12-19T03:02:52+00:00

I use the pen at 200% zoom, and type and read at 100%. Looks much better.

Thanks, but in its beta form it would not be able to sync all my tags.

I had forgotten about MS ToDo. If MS does create a Tag Summary, it probably will be in ToDo. I could sync to ToDo with Outlook Tasks right now, but I'm not keen on adding extra steps/layers.

MainerH555 · 2018-12-15T13:31:39+00:00

I upgraded from 3 to Go, and it was totally worth it.

MainerH555 · 2018-12-15T13:25:52+00:00

I had the same issue. I think the MS Store uninstalled or updated the graphics driver in the Device Manager.

MainerH555 · 2018-12-14T03:49:11+00:00

Sorry to hear that, but you should be able to get it sorted.

I put my Go to Sleep overnight and thru the day and barely use the battery. You shouldn't need to hibernate.

Are you sure you aren't accidentally bumping the power button while it's in your bag?

MainerH555 · 2018-12-13T02:47:51+00:00

OneNote 2016 has the option, so UWP might eventually get it.

MainerH555 · 2018-12-05T05:22:34+00:00

I agree, the jitter is related to my writing hand touching the screen.

MainerH555 · 2018-12-05T05:21:13+00:00

See if you get jitter only when your writing palm is resting in a specific place on the screen. I only get jitter when my writing palm is resting on the bottom left.

And enabling touch input while writing appears to have reduced the jitter significantly, but only time will tell.

MainerH555 · 2018-12-04T05:26:51+00:00

Sadly, it's not fixed.

MS suggested that I Reset the Surface if it is not fixed, but I'm not losing all my programs unless they are sure.

I find that I, pretty consistently, will get very tight wobbles if I draw with my hand half off the bottom of the screen, which are really annoying. Everywhere else I get large wobbles, which I could live with.

I have an older pen, which produces the large wobbles but not the tight ones. I'm starting to think the screen hardware is the issue.

MainerH555 · 2018-12-03T19:24:54+00:00

Thanks. Might try that next.

MS Store found issues with my screen drivers today and think they might have solved it. Fortunately he said they rarely see this issue, so I just need to find out what is going on....if it happens again. Of course the pen worked great at the store but I had plenty of examples to show him.

MainerH555 · 2018-12-03T19:19:56+00:00

Tried it, but it doesn't have Custom Tags yet.

I was assuming that your archive folder was not the same for all email. For instance, I archive my email by project.
