My Duo is almost unusable after the update. For some reason MS Launcher is taking about 40% battery and is constantly running. Even when im not using it and the phone is closed. This causes the phone to go from full charget to 15% In about 5 hours with only 30 mins screen time. The phone is running hot and doesn't charge fast at all unless i turn off the phone and don't log into it after it turns back on. I found a reddit thread and tried what they suggested but the issues is still here. The June update really messed up this phone. Is there a fix coming or is this only effecting a small amount of people that i have to deal with it until the next update and hope it fixes it?

    Problem of the overheating and extremely use of the battery solved. Following the steps I have done:

    • go to play store, Microsoft Launcher
    • activate Beta participation
    • waiting around 10 minutes
    • installing update of Microsoft Launcher
    • new start of the device
    • deinstall of the updates for Microsoft launcher
    • new start of the device
    • installation of the updates for Microsoft launcher

    However, after these steps the battery work fine as before.

    Hello, my Duo 2 have the same issues. Microsoft recommends a hardware change but I think Microsoft is right now not really interested or aware about this issues!

    Did you changed the hardware and does it helped?

    I did. I tried a bunch of different things even using another launcher. It is just trashed. I did notice it wasn't a large group of people it was happening to so i just did a warranty replacement hoping maybe it was just an issue with my unit. Thanks for the response.

    Reset your device. This behavior is not what many of us experience. I am on beta version of Microsoft Launcher.
