Samsung is providing an SDK for the SPen, you should find all what you need there.

Sorry, my mistake. What I mean is, how does the phone itself detects a hovering stylus pen on its screen at the hardware level?

Its the nature of the wacom technology.
It's magnetic based, so the location of the stylus is known as soon as you get close to the screen.
The pressure sensitivity is detected by the pen itself, not the screen. The tip of the pen is basically a button.
Current versions of touchwiz and cyanogen for the note 1 both contains the airplay like 'show me the cursor' ability. What the sdk did not have before was the airplay action of 'do something if the cursor is hovering above you'

Is it me or is the Xperia Play's touchscreen a bit weird?
Lemme try and explain this: In most apps, when trying to hit decent sized to small buttons, i have to either click below them, or hitting the hell out of them until i actually get a click...
Is it my phone only?
My touchscreen sucks, especially if my fingers arent as dry as the desert. My problem is if i hit backspace or another key on the keyboard, a few kothers go down with it

Yeah, i tend to touch the screen when i hit the buttons too...
But i'm more interested in how others find their touchscreen accuracy.

I agree, when using gmail, I press the back button and end up deleting the odd email quite often.

It looks like the software is registering our "clicks" wrong, i had a similar problem on my Nokia 5800, but it had it's own recalibration settings.
Is there a way to recalibrate our touchscreens?
Capacitive Touch Screen Don't Have Calibration, Only Resistive Touch Screen.
Then, what can we do?
Have you tried the Xperia Play Tester app? Touch and see if it's offset.
I couldn't find the xda link for the app, but here's one that looks the same on the pictures.

Mine is 100% correct, I click small links in full web pages and it registers them fine

Weird, the tester is registering the touches ok...
What else could be at fault? I mean, i don't have big fingers anyways...
Folks,
Please, is it possible to use the physical button as shutter (while on camera) and answer/hangup call?
I need to use some bandages on my hands and every capacitive screen fails me... the S-PEN is definitively something that I'm eager to try (every other generic stylus fails on some level).
Thanks!!

Not in stock rom that ive seen, maybe a friendly dev could create a custom mod for you. You could use a camera app that responds to voice commands, that would solve part of your problem

This works well, and is fortunately included as an option on Samsung's default camera app (on the GT-N7100 at least). So fun to snap a picture by saying "cheese".

Rofl.. yeah it works... I think the phone thinks you said "shoot". Also it works if you say "sheet".
If you go to Settings>Accessibility you can chose to answer phone calls using home button and hang up using the power button. im using this setting as Im keeping my phone in a pouch and this way I don't have to take it out every time I get a phone call

Hola guys,
Just bought this big aggressive beast
I was wondering, since i can't hit the menu/back button with the s-pen, if there is a quick way to do that directly from the s-pen
Switching to the thumb is soooo stressful (even anti-easthetic, don't you think?).
Alternatives?
EDIT: Just watching a s-pen introduction on youtube

There is the official ones and two hidden gestures shown here
There is an app called GMD s-pen control which lets you create custom gestures without the use of the button . It requires root though.
Alternatively you can try holding the s-pen differently

Hell everyone,
My first time here. Just bought a Galaxy Note 8.0 and my friend who owns a Note 2 says her phone has a cool S Pen Keeper function.
I couldn't find the "Keeper" setting in my S Pen settings although both my Note 8 and her Note 2 show Android 4.1.2.

Only thing I know of is "SPen" under system in settings. This is on 4.2.2. What type of things are they able to do that you want also?

In 4.2.2, its on all the time. You can choose to switch it off when the pen is docked.

My Note 8 came with 4.2.2, I have no options for s-pen keeper when it's docked or not. Is it supposed to be on all the time?

Mine Note 8.0 doesn't have s-pen keeper feature either.
Nevertheless there is an app for this. Simply search for "spenkeeper" on the Play Market.

Thanks for letting us know there is an app. I got it and it seems to work fine. The screen does have to be off before it detects the motion, that's actually a positive, it would be annoying to set off the alarm if you were working and moved the tablet.

My Note 8 that came with 4.2.2 doesn't have S Pen Keeper as far as I can tell. Try intalling the app from the Play Store, it works.

as I understand the Keeper app, app notices pen is out.
when screen times out and pen still out you get notified.
you need a non-zero delay time. that says "your pen is out and idle for { delay time } " and screen timeout
then you get the alarm
just my experience, not expert knowledge

Hi guys sorry if this is a silly question but I am wondering if the accelerometer on the Sony Smartwatch 2 is activated on the default firmware. I know the Pebble's wasn't until the recent update. According to reading there definitely seems to be one: https://developer.sony.com/develop/wearables/smartwatch-2-apis/guides/hardware-specifications/ but I haven't found an application that actually uses it.
Is it possible to to use it to track your steps via the accelerometer without having to have the phone in your pocket (but obviously having to be within Bluetooth range)?
Unless perhaps my accelerometer on my specific SW2 is broken.
Thanks in advance!
If you download the examples from Sony for developing for SW2, there is an axample app for the sensor.
Anyway the sensibility of the sensor only makes it suitable for detecting movement and turn on screen accordingly and no much more I guess
It's active. I know of 3 apps off the top of my head that use it. Yes, it can be used as a step counter. I know of one app that uses it for that, but it only works when the app is open.

Thanks for the reply. Could you tell me which app it is that counts steps?
According to the attached picture extracted from the Sony site there is definitely an accelerometer capable of being a pedometer. The app I have (walkmate) only counts my step with my phone in my pocket - i.e. it is only using the watch as a display and not a counter.
