Hey guys I just got my note 2 today and have been messing around with the S pen. Does anyone else notice that when pressing buttons on the screen to open apps or things in apps etc that it is not always responsive unless you hit it at the perfect angle? Also when I write normally i kind of write more at a sideways angle towards the screen but it seems to not register very well like this so I have to write more vertical towards the screen. Is there any way to fix these issues or is that just how it is at this time? Also i feel like if I write too lightly it doesn't register very well when writing. Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity or am I the only one who thinks this? Lastly, if i touch the screen with my palm it makes a mark in s note i thought it was not supposed to do this or let your finger write when the s pen is out. How do I set this?

I have a similar issue where i seem to have to press hard to get a reaction, especially the app drawer icon.
I notice you have to hit dead on which makes sense. This isn't a pencil or pen where you can write slanted and the ink still touch the paper or what not. But rather the "ball" of the s pen is where your main contact should be. Takes getting used to but what doesn't? Pen works great once you learn how it works

I had to exchange my S-pen 3 times due to sensitivity issue! One of them was way too sensitivity, I wasn't even touching the screen and I could write on S-note... Store manager thought that was part of the Note 2's new feature... lol
Even after the exchange of S-pen I was still having little issues with it, and I ran across a thread about slamming the S-pen on the ground. I know it sounds bizarre but it actually worked! I didn't believe it at first but now my s-pen works flawless... so weird. :silly:

lol like throwing it or just slamming it? and yeah i figured it would just take getting used to I just wanted to make sure it wasn't just my pen. So is there really no settings to change for it though??
Also funny question... does it matter which way it is held? Like when I was first holding it you would press the button with your thumb however you could also hold it so you would press it with your index finger. Does it matter? Is it made to work better one way?

Take a closer look at the tip of the S-pen. It's actually slightly spring loaded! I discovered this from an early review video I watched before I purchased mine. I believe that the tip has to be pressed hard enough to slightly retract in order to produce a mark. Writing with the pen at an angle may not be doing that.

But I just tried it and the pen is working 95% better. I don't know if it will stay this way but it's working pretty well (for now at least).
stupid but it works for me.

Hey I have the same problem with you but I have solved it in a stupid but effective way. I open the back case and press it, that's it the pen sensitivity back to normal.... lol try it easy and effective....
The S pen can be too sensitive, so you have to adjust its potentiometer. Yes, you heard that right.Just pop the button cover off by simply using a razor blade or something really thin, the cover should pop immediately. Then, you have to use a small flat head screwdriver and turn the screw clockwise. This will adjust the S Pen sensitivity. If you want to make it more sensible, then you have to screw counterclockwise. You should adjust it until it no longer has a problem. This fix has worked for a lot of people, so it should work as a general fix. If you still have problems with the S pen, then you should get in touch with the dealer that gave the phone to you and get the S pen switched because it is faulty.

Wish I had known this a last week before I broke my last S Pen. lol Worked great and I even adjusted my full size S Pen as well! Kudos!
I got my phone a while ago and I haven't really messed with the S-Pen. Today I decided to use it. It'll keep pressing buttons without the tip of the pen touching the screen. Is that normal? When jotting down notes, it'll write without touching the screen as well. You'll see random lines connecting each word I write. I did a search and I read that I should just get a new s-pen. Will I need to trade in my entire phone? or will they just replace the S pen?
This is a feature of the S Pen. This feature is called "Air View".
You can choose options for "Air View" and turn off "Air View" in the Settings > System > S Pen > Air View.
Otherwise you will get used to it. Just a little sensitive when the S Pen is barely hovering over the screen.

Sounds like an over sensitive spen. Common problem. Two options get new one from samsung/tmobile. Or you can try throwing the pen on the ground on its side, badically the magnet inside gets stuck in the 'pushed' position.

I was setting up a new note 2 this afternoon and this happened to me as well. It was definitely an over-sensitive pen. I ended up clicking the buttons a few times and it seemed to clear up the oversensitivity. Try that and see.
yeah I've heard just dropping the pen a few times will fix it
Hey guys - I just got the 8pi S Pen for my Galaxy Note 2 and am having an issue with it.
First of all, it seems like you need to put a little more pressure on it compared to the s pen that comes with the Note 2 - but that's not too bad. The issue I'm having is that if am writing in landscape mode, there is an area on the right side of the screen (say ~ 1/2 inch) where the pen fails to write. ie. if I draw a line from the left to the right ..there'll be a blank hole near the right edge. This doesn't happen w/ the stock pen. I switched out nibs and it's still happening - it'll work sometimes, but mostly if you're writing a sentence, it'll fail in that area.
Could it be a bad S Pen? See the screenshot...
Thanks.
just realized i had a similar problem as well... i've found when holding my phone in a landscape orientation the angle that I write or draw in makes the inaccurate touches occur. If I hold the pen at the same angle I would if it were in portrait I have no problems at all... I'm not really sure but I'm going to go to ATT tomorrow to see if their demo unit does the same.
Hello everybody I need your advice or help with something tonight I was using my wife's note 2 and noticed there are some bubbles that appear to be coming off the glass.......I have a picture attached and what I mean is that there are like 4 bubbles that I don't know are coming from under the screen. We have a case on the phone but no screen protector and my question is if the screen on the galaxy note 2 is glass how can there be bubbles on the screen - you can actually feel it if you use your nail or finger tip. I've tried to research it on the internet but have not found anyone else with the same issue......would replacing the glass fix it?
just got a note 2, was testing out the stylus. seems to be acting weird.
I use sNote to test it, and when i draw with it, without touching the screen the line would start appear on the screen.
i had a note 2 a while back, and the stylus does not work like that, i remember you have to touch the screen, like drawing on the screen then the line would appear. I remember when you hover over the screen, they should be a tiny dot on the screen, but line should not appear on the screen until the stylus touches the screen.
is there any calibration i need to do? any help would be appriciated.
thanks.

If you're using a flip cover case that has magnets in it, that can cause serious issues. Otherwise, you just might have a defective stylus.
If you pop the button off the stylus, there's a small screw in there to adjust the sensitivity which typically corrects the exact problem you're having. It worked for me.

yes, that works. thanks.
