Out if the box I thought the s-pen could do no wrong. Now lately I'm noticing its not registering more and more frequently even though my behavior hasn't changed.
Any one else noticing this?

Not registering screen writing or button presses? I had the Note 1 and the thing I find myself getting used to now is that the pen is more accurate, untill you try to hit onscreen buttons. You have to push the pen harder on the buttons. Its just how it is I guess

there's another thread about opening up the spen and configuring the sensitivity. I followed the tutorial and made it more sensitive and it works better now.

No sensitivity issues here, good to know there is a calibration wizard though.
It took me a while to realize, but I noticed when the screen sees the stylus, like air view, the bottom three buttons don't work. And I keep having the urge to press back or menu with the stylus. Not a big deal, but it would be nice.

Sounds like a hardware fault to me.
A friend had the same problem, it's a little triangle shape area like 4mnx4mn

or... it's not really a problem for me, didnt notice it before i read this post.
Its already been noted magnetic fields interfere. Is it near the speaker per chance?

It's not a hardware fault, that's just how the spen work (the note one had a simular 'issue' too). If you go to settings and change the s pen settings from right handed to left handed it's the left corner that won't work.

Nope, when i change the setting, nothing change. Maybe it's the speeker, or the pen captor?

After hours of testin, it must be something interferencing with this corner.
When i push a little harder the stylus in this corner, Spen work but the cursor is shaky.
This would really irritate me - does it happen with every note? Or just some? And is it always the same size (4mm triangle)? And exactly where is it - is it right in the corner if the screen or somewhere nearer the middle?
If it does not happen on every note I'd be returning the phone for a new one, if it does happen on every note I'd be thinking very hard as to if it would irritate me too much.
Mine also does not respond, its where the head of the s-pen lies, so maybe there is no sensor in there.
I'm lucky enough for not having the issue.

he's right , here's a screenshot taken after trying to fill the area in with sketchbook mobile. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0h1jfkzhgy6zksh/notecorner.jpg most apps don't use that area though. ( sketchbook does )
I just checked, it works for me.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
Hmmmm, seems to be only affecting some people from these replies - could it be ROM related (are you all running same ROM) or is it a true fault? If its just a ROM then there are no real concerns for me but if its hardware related........!! Would annoy the hell out of me - I love sketching on devices - I'd be returning it

Now try to fill it using a very thin pencil. Normally it's the hole right and bottom border that won't get colored (happens to me on my note 1 and 2). That bottom right corner just happens to be in the intersection of both lines which makes it a little harder to fill even with a large brush.

I tried scrolling down a page using air view and it works. Should I test something else?

So is this normal behavior? I'm looking to get a n2 this week and I want to be able to spot defects
I have a white International version, stock Rom. Airview work in this corner, but it's shaky an i have to aproche the Spen, more than in the other area of the screen.
super interesting thread would like to know if this is normal. with hover , the arrow disappears as well when it enters this "note 2 Bermuda triangle"
( tried with a really thin brush on sketchbook, same thing )
For the longest time I thought my home button was broken! But it turns out if the s pen is govering the home button doesn't work. WHY?? Is it just me?
I have no idea what your question is... Can you re-explain this?
When the s pen is hovering/air view, the home button doesn't work.
Just tested it on my phone and it does the same thing. Home button does not work when the S-Pen is hovering. Not sure why but I'm guessing the phone thinks you are trying to do something on that particular page because the S-Pen is so close that it won't let you go "Home."
I think it's a safeguard that if your using the pen, it doesn't allow any touches, whether it be clicking something on the screen or using the home/capacitive buttons. Could be wrong, some things might still be usable, but that's how they explained it in one of the reviews(well they didn't mention the home button, but said you can't touch the screen while the pen is also active on the screen-so I assume it's the same for other selections)

Friends,
I use the Galaxy Note 2 to draw, when I draw the s-memo (s-note) in S-pen cursor disappears and this complicates the accuracy of the drawing.
Anyone know how to turn the cursor display when designing the s-memo?
Thank you.
I don't think there is a way... just draw on the screen like it was paper, you don't have a cursor on paper do you?

My s pen seems to be writing/selecting by itself without me actually pressing the button or touching the screen. Is this normal for you guys or do I have me a faulty s pen?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
The Galaxy Note 1, you had the option to display the cursor's S-Pen when he was sketching the S-memo.
The S-Pen has a small gap where the pen tip touches to the sketched line in the S-memo, it hinders much when making a design that requires precision.
Radrian92, that sometimes happens to me.
You may be able to adjust your S-pen; I had a similar problem and adjusted mine to solve it. Here are the instructions I found for the adjustment.

Just checking to see if anyone else is having this issue trying to decide if it is software or hardware. From time to time I have a non responsive section (lower right corner) it doesn't always do it so I wasn't sure if it was something loose hardware or a software clich. It is not app specific had it happen in games, home screen, and mostly in keyboard but I think that is because I use the keyboard more than anything.

Except that's a wacom digitizer issue, the OP is having a problem with the capacitive touchscreen (unless he uses the qwerty keyboard with his S-pen which seems cumbersome)
And yeah, i too can't seem to hover reliably at the VERY bottom right corner of the screen, but my capactive touchscreen is fine as if you look at where the OP is having problems (around the period button on the virtual keyboard) my S-pen works there, but it's hard to detect when it gets close to the bottom right corner, maybe a 2x2mm patch.
In any case, OP, looks like a hardware defect, go grab a new one.
Looks like I have similar problem. I even opened s-note and tried to draw some lines using tiniest pen line. I have few pixels which I couldn't draw on. Anyone with same issue?

Is your phone situated near any kind of magnet-material? Usually, that causes interference with the display on the Note 2
Hi,
Have noticed when trying to trace an image with my s-pen on the screen with the button pushed that sometimes it just doesn't seem to "take" and capture the image even though I have traced all the way around to the little beginning circle. This seems to happen mostly if I am tracing a smaller image.
Am I doing something wrong or is this just a bug? If it is a bug is there a way to fix it?
SECONDARY QUESTION:
It seems the only way to crop out a square image is to do a screen capture by pushing down the s-pen button and pressing it to the screen then using the crop tool. However, it would be nice to be able to actually draw a perfect crop square in the same way we do a trace capture. Is there any combination of buttons that does that?
I have noticed on my Note 10.1 tablet that I can trace an image in one multiview screen then just drag the into s-notes in the other pane and it pastes. However, with the GN2 this "drag and drop" doesn't seem to work. Am I doing something wrong?
Last thing. Have noticed that on my Note 10.1 I can do a screen capture of the active multiview pane; however, with the GN2 it seems to capture both multiview panes then squishes the entire capture into one pane. Again, am I doing this wrong or is that a bug?
Thanks!
for perfect squares, well and now everything I have been lasso'ing a larger area and then using the photo editor app to crop them down ...for the reason that I noticed the longer I take to get a clean lasso the less chance I have of it working.
Interesting find on the screenshot deal. If I take a screen shot by hand swipe it is normal. Taking it with the pen results in squished screen.
As for the drag and drop I swear it worked out of the box...then the ljc update changed it but I could be wrong. I just know it does not work that way anymore. Similarly I recal draggingbthe lasso'd image to say messaging in the icons at bottom of screen ...now after the update I just hit messaging

I guess the point is that there are a number of things which work as they should on the Note 10.1 that don't seem to work that way on the GN2. It's not a screen real estate issue so I'm not sure what the problem is.
Just seems kind of buggy to me, especially the tracing part.
My Note 10.1 came with a specially designed version of photoshop but I'm not seeing that on my GN2. Am I missing it? I guess I just expected these to be close to the same except smaller. Maybe not.
For instance on the Note 10.1 in multiview each pane gets its own Min, Max and Close buttons but not here. Odd.

I know about those who but they aren't the same. On the Note 10.1 each frame has its own buttons which remain persistent. Like in Windows. Much better.

I find it works best to hold the button, draw your shape/circle then lift the pen with the button still held... works every time.
