So tell me how S-Pen really works? If i have understood right inside the S-Pen there is no battery? Yet still there is at least two switch at the pen (tip of the pen and side button) and also phone knows where you are hovering your pen even if you are not touching the screen. So how this all works?
This is interesting it would be cool to know that..
I heard that its using magnet.Not sure lol.

It must be some form of magnetic field. The phone can even tell when you leave your pen and walk away.....
So nobody really knows how s-pen do it´s magic? C´mon XDA engineers try a little more to find us an answer!

You need to first turn the option on in S Pen settings. It might not be turned on by default.
Then take your s-pen out, use it on the screen for a bit, leave it somewhere as you put your phone in your pocket and walk away. I had to walk like maybe 15 steps before it alerted me.

This part is very low tech.
When you have the pen in the device, it pushes a switch inside the phone.
If you pull the pen out (i.e. the switch is opened), and you wander off (it detects this using the same gyrometers you use to play 'tilt' games), then it sets off the alert.
You have to enable the s-pen alert, and the screen has to be off when you wander away.
It's designed that way so it's not constantly going off when you are actually using the s-pen.
the pen itself is a wacom pen. wacom tablets have been around for ages.
It receives power kind of the same way some electric toothbrushes charge - through magnetic resonance.

You can't use a stylus with that fine of a tip with the gnex. Because of the type of touch screen it uses, you need a surface roughly the size of a fingertip. I think the closest you will find size-wise is the pogo.

I dont think he wants a pen to double as a stylus. The way I understood the description was that the pen has three settings (like those multi colour pens where you can click for different colours) where one is a stylus and another is the pen and then a led light.
Or I could be completely wrong.
Either way, I havent heard of anything like that before.

Looks to big. Better to be in top pocket anyway if its bt to the phone
oh wow, this looks awesome!
i wouldn't even have to bring my phone to school anymore. i'll just leave my tablet in my backpack and have the bt pen clipped onto my shirt or something. when i feel it vibrate, i can just answer my call through the pen . i might look kinda weird to others when they see me, but i don't care!

I don't think many people actually own this at the moment:

, but from the looks of it, it's safe to say that it won't fit into the 10.1 Note's pen slot:

The "nib" looks more like 10.1's tip rather than the one on the 5.3 Note, but it may or may not actually house the 10.1's pen inside. Not sure this last part matters, anyway...

I just ordered this item. I'm excited to see how it works with the tablet.
I'm confused. This is a pen that:
> Does the samething as the S Pen already included
> It has a mic, speaker and answer-call button
> It connects with your phone via BT
> You can answer a call that got to your phone, while you're using the tablet???
So what is the justification. It's not like your phone is never handy and the tablet always is... Imagine this scenario:
Your are at work at your desk minding your own business doing whatever you do with your tablet. A call comes in, more than likely your phone is in your pocket or on top of your desk, so you can see a call is coming. So, instead of picking up your phone, you press the lil button on the pen because the pen is already in your hand and you're too lazy to reach for your phone. So, imagine that in the middle of the conversation you are given details you need to jot down, you can't put down the BT S Pen to write a memo on your Note 10.1 because that's where the call is coming from, so you either grab your old S Pen or common pen and paper.

So what did I miss? You can't even use this pen while the old S Pen is in the Note's silo. I've tried to use my other Wacom pen while the S Pen is in the hole and there is no way it gets registered.
So, somebody please enlighten me what benefits will I get if I shell out another 200 bucks on this pen.

I have Google voice. I thought it would be more convenient to answer the call over talk atone, not my phone, when say I'm in the other room. Or don't want to run to the other room to get the phone. My google voice always rings before my phone, too. Doesn't fit but my case has the s pen holder.
That being said, I think Samsung was trying to be innovative (or expand on an idea originally posed by Asus). Nifty feature. Some will see it as useful, others a toy.
I'm sure I could say the same as what's the point of a Bluetooth headset? But I think **** Tracey would like this!
Better for 007.
just got my pen and took it out of the box. instructions are in chinese so they are of no help. Doesn't seem to work. I figured it should work out of the box like the s pen, but it doesn't. I have it charging now, but why would that make a difference?
Can anyone that has one lend me a hand?

so you have to take the original C Pen out of the tablet for it to register...
Hi, I've had my galaxy note 2 for about a month now and I absolutely love it. I love the fact where I can pull out the S-Pen and take a note. The problem I'm facing is that on the left side of the screen towords the bottom it seems to be off when I write. Wherever I write in that section it seems to write it to the right of where my pen is touching the screen. Take a look at the attached picture.
Now I've google searched if there is a method to calibrate the S Pen. But the only thing I seem to find is a method that works with the original Galaxy Note 1. And I have also come across an app called TouchscreenTune that helps you calibrate the S-Pen. But as far as I know this app calibrates the S Pen for the entire screen. For example if I calibrate the S Pen with this application and make it so it writes to the left instead of how it's off by going to the right it will do that for the entire screen. I'm only having this issue at that 1 section of the screen. Can anybody help me out please?

Same issue
I don't have any solutions, but I can confirm that I'm having the same issue. It happens in a few places, but all of them are towards the edge fo the screen. I noticed it trying to make a line with a straight edge in sketchbook mobile, which this makes it impossible to do. Similarly, I've searched and can't find any suggestions on calibration. I'll take it to a sprint store in a few days.

Thanks for the comment. Just to make sure, when you write a bunch in that bottom left area, there's no interuptions in the inking or it's hard to write because the cursor doesn't stay centered?
I'm trying to figure out if this is something all of them have that's just too minor for most people to notice or there's just a few bad apples. I'll be at verizon tomorrow testing out some other note 2s and see if I see a pattern. If not, I'll just return.

Glad yours works. That code doesn't work for me. I'm on a verizon phone which means they probably jacked that up too along with everything else.
Interesting development today.
Exchanged my phone to verizon. Was really excited the new one was working so well. Went home and it started to do it again. Got real up set and then light bulb popped up. There's a magnet on the back of my seidio kickstand case. Took the case off and now it works fine. Which means the other one probably worked fine as well. Annoyed that I spent $50 on this stupid case.

Yeah, you should never use any kind of case with magnets with a phone with a Wacom digitizer.
It's really a shame, otherwise I would've bought the KLD Ultra Slim PU Leather Flip Cover Case already.
Hi, sorry for the late response. But i went to Best Buy and tried another S-Pen and with the S-Pen it does the same thing. It weird, When i right the actual ink is not under where my pen is, its more to the right of it. Even if i hover the S-Pen over the screen the little circle thing is also off to the right abit. I tried to use that TouchScreen Tune app, but when i apply the changes in it, it says Failed< Unsupported ROM or FW. I use the S-Pen alot, and it sucks because of this inconvenience.
Oh and i can confirm that the App posted in that Link "Reset S-Pen" Does NOT work to fix this issue. I wish it was just the S-Pen that was defective. I have no problem going to Best Buy and buying a new one for $40.
My s pen accuracy improved when I did what another forum suggested. Go into pen settings, and switch it to left handed, and then back to right handed. That resets the calibration.

So if you want to tap while hovering. Get the s pen close to the screen and put your finger under the s pen tip and press the tip in. I just found out that the screen isn't the one recognizing the taps. The s pen has a sensor that tells the phone that it is touching the screen. Maybe many of you knew this but I just found out so wanted to share!

That would be pretty cool.. It's probably just a matter of time here at XDA.
Actually I might get an extra pen & try to take this on. If the phone can register a click while hovering using your trick (which I tried and it definitely does), it should theoretically be possible to remap the hard-button to tap into the same trigger that the phone recognizes when the pen's tip is pressed. It's gonna be a ***** getting this pen apart but at least the button is close to the tip :good:.
If anyone knows where to get a note 2 pen for less than $50 let me know..
EDIT: Just discovered that if you hold your finger over the tip of the pen (keeping the tip depressed) you can scroll/tap/etc. when you're within an inch or two of the screen.. Intersting

The idea that I was thinking of, as a spin-off to the OP's comment, was having a pen modified so that you could just wave over the screen to move around within the OS and just tap the button to interact. Obviously it's not a game-changer but it would be fun playing some games or even swyping without having to touch the screen.
There might even be a way to modify a glove or something that works in a manner similar to kinect.. of course you'd have to be pretty close to the screen but still might be a fun little project to play around with.. Anyway, extra pen is on it's way.. we'll see where this goes.
I think you could just remove the s-pen button cover and adjust the sensitivity pot and achieve the same thing?
Prety neat trick consideringi have the invisable shield and the spen destroys it

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but another cool spen trick that I happened upon while hovering is switching from pen to eraser by clicking the spen button.
Since it looks like we are starting a Cool S-Pen thread here it works ridiculously well in splashtop and gives you a super responsive and accurate mouse
And as for figuring out a way to click without touching the screen it would probobly be easier to swap the input events rather than physically modding the pen

Wow that's a much better idea than the hardware mod I was thinking of.. I'm an absolute beginner at coding & hardware comes easily to me so I don't feel too stupid for not thinking of it.
Ideally I want to try & write an app that would give you the option of switching the preset input events on the fly so I could go from normal spen use to "hover" spen mode with an IME type notification or something.. Now where to begin

I am having issues with my S pen and I haven't been able to find a solution on the forums. I bought this phone from my friend but had to buy the s pen separately since he lost it.
The first pen that I bought from Amazon.com was giving me problems and I ended up returning it because I thought that maybe it was a fake. It was acting like it was touching the screen when it wasn't and when I would use it to scroll up or down on pages, it would just scroll really fast to the top or bottom of the screen. When using the S Note app, it would only write on the screen if I clicked the button in while I was writing, otherwise it would act as though I was erasing.
I just got my second pen in the mail today and it is giving me the same problems. I tried tapping and smacking and all those things but they didn't work. Then I popped off the button to adjust the potentiometer but the inside of my pen looks nothing like the inside of the pens on the videos.
I'm really frustrated that I can't just buy a pen that works properly. Am I doing something wrong? I'm ready to just return this pen and give up on the idea of using an S Pen altogether.
I know you'll pay for it, but if sPen is one of the main features you love about the Note 2, it might be worth it to buy one directly from Samsung. It's not that hard to KIRF official products after all.
How much are you paying for these flawed pens?
EDIT: OP follow this link to the Google Play store. This is an app that resets your sPen (require root) however within the description of the app, the developer mentions switching the handedness of the sPen under settings in order to sort of "calibrate" it.
Read it, try it, good luck!
For those having spen problems.... I know this may sound weird but just take the pen and point it toward a table and hit it a cople times on the tip.. losens the tip up and helps with the touches

I know you'll pay for it, but if sPen is one of the main features you love about the Note 2, it might be worth it to buy one directly from Samsung. It's not that hard to KIRF official products after all.
How much are you paying for these flawed pens?
EDIT: OP follow this link to the Google Play store. This is an app that resets your sPen (require root) however within the description of the app, the developer mentions switching the handedness of the sPen under settings in order to sort of "calibrate" it.
Read it, try it, good luck!

Thanks for the suggestion. I returned the pen to Amazon and am waiting for my refund. I think I'm just going to buy a new one directly from Samsung like you suggested before I completely give up on this feature.
Thanks for your help! I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong or missing something obvious.
