Has anyone else had Issues with the S pen 'making contact' when its only meant to be hovering?
I had a N7105 for a week with no issues...sent it back and picked up this N7100 yesterday. Starting noticing the issue today with a drawing app. I kept making marks when I was hovering!
Any ideas? Do I need to take it back?

I'm getting similar issues so would be great to find out if this is a common occurrence.

I also face same issues and its practically UNUSABLE due to this issue. I found an advise on youtube where removing the cap on the button on S pen expose a potentiometer and slightly turning the screw clockwise reduces the sensitivity of the S pen and can fix the issue. I haven't tried it yet but will certainly do in the near future and update here.
I still have the N7105 boxed and ready to be returned... could I swap the pens or do they only work with the device they are shipped with?

Stylus sensitivity
This is fixable by turning the tiny screw under the button of the stylus there's a thread about it

Cheers, I should have searched for this first.
It was suggested on this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028581
That a firm tap on a hard surface can fix the issue. Some people seem to have had success with that. I've tried it, but its too soon to say if its worked.
I don't plan on tweeking the sensitivity adjustment, because I've only had the handset for 2 days and would rather just return it as faulty.

Well thats that fixed then, a notice board pin and a bent staple later my s-pen is working perfectly!

Was it that easy? Any issues with the sensitivity after you tweeked it?

Okay so its very annoying I'm running running he latest omega v7.3 now but its happened on a few other ROMs as well unless it has to do with 4.1.2 but anyways while in the browser it happens a lot when scrolling with ONE finger my thumb sometimes it zooms in or zooms out for no reason like I put another finger on the screen when I didn't. Anyone know what this issue is?

Anyone else have this issue?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
ROFL
This is because you holding it with one hand & it touches the screen from two points, 1 your thumbtip. 2 your thumb base
So when you scroll it looks like you are zooming in or out
Happened with me but i figured out why is it happening by taking side view when holding it with one hand
Hope i helped you

This confused me lots when I first installed 4.1.2. I thought the touchscreen was playing up and not registering my input correctly. Then I finally realised it was zooming on the edges of the screen. Very useful when using the S Pen otherwise just a little annoying. It would be good if it could be enabled only when the pen is out.
Does it only happen on 4.1.2?

Yes only with 4.1.2. It is browser feature which is really useful especially using with one hand
I utilize my S-pen for sketching purposes, though, somehow, the pointer seems to be off. Don't know what's wrong with it, if I need to calibrate or something else. Your opinion and guide line is helpful. Thanks in advance

Dial *#0*# and go to the wacom test, see if ur screen itslef isnt messed up.
If u wanna increase or decrease sensitivity, ur gonna have to take the clicky portion of your stylus off, the button u push to get trace effects or enter settings with. Theres potentiometers inside, turning clockwise decreases sensitivity and turning counter clockwise increases. Ive only read about it and havent done it myself, id post a link, but the info goes to another forum, a simple google search will give u more info.
Good luck and report back

You can go to a tmobile store and show them and they can maybe replace the stylus for your, just don't mention that you opened it

Wow, thanks for the info, I may have to tinker with my son once I'm brave enough.. . lol
I found a solution to my own problem, initially, I was have tough time using spen during sketches and during other apps that uses spen; The problem was my hard cover case that has magnet to close, that magnet always came behind the screen as I opened my case while sketching or using spen.... You keep the magnet away from the screen and that's it... problem solved.

Hey all, the wake button lag was my #1 complaint about this awesome device. Maddening! I did the MB4 update to see if Albuquerque had lte yet (nope) but got this totally wicked surprise. Its close enough to instant wake now, before the wait was uncomfortably long. So even if you don't leave lte yet, don't wait for the ota just let kies make your phone better
Not really I still got the lag

Weird. Mine went from at least half a second to almost instant.
mine's pretty quick now
S Note is so much better as well. Opens the instant you press the button. The new widget is amazing as well. I love the update.
The only thing I'm worried about is the battery drain issue that came along with this update with the other carriers Note 2, S3 and other devices. Anyone notice it?

Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
I've been reading about people saying the lag is gone but I still have it as well, when I press the power button there is like a .5 second delay before the screen actually turns on (has always been like this).
My lag is now gone also. It act's as if you press it twice because task manager comes up quickly.

I don't really have a feel for it yet, but I did notice more heat which implies faster drain.

So I'm not the only one who's been having this happen? It's actually kind of annoying that the task manager keeps popping up when I hit the home button. I thought it was only me but is there a fix for this or anything to stop it?
I'm having the same stupid issue! Man is it irritating.
This is the actual fix guys. See the screen shot. All you have to do is uncheck the home button activation for svoice. This has been a known issue since the S3

That only affects pressing the home button not the lock screen lag.

Unchecking that svoice option helped with the task manager issue but I still see some lag with either button.

I doubt it. When I'm on the stock ROM I have the wake up lag. When I'm on any CM based ROM there is no lag.

Is that normal the screen haves a tiny and I mean almost micro separation from the metal frame it seems normal but the bottom of the screen isn't like that?
I have that too.
I thought it was from dropping it or something.
I almost noticed that gunk gets stuck in between it as well.

Hi guys! Its my first time posting but I've been a member for a while. Anyway, to make a long story short, half of my S-Pen is stuck inside the phone. (The nib part) The other half is out. Any ideas on how to get it out? Thanks in advance!

Look up the drinking straw method too. I used that when I accidently put mine in the wrong way. Paper was too flimsy for me to get that to work. All functionality retained. Just don't pull too hard or fast.

Oh ok thanks! The S-Pen isn't in backwards. Its in the proper way but its just broken in half with half still inside. But i will try the paper and straw methods. I tried tweeezers but they were too big lol.

I was listening to music and my headphone wire got caught on a door handle. And it dragged the phone out of my pocket and the phone fell. Its crazy becuase the pen was tucked away. Btw the paper or straw method didnt work so im gonna get it repaired.

I had this same issue with mine. Back of the pen (the end with the clicking mechanism) randomly fell off the rest of the pen while it was still tucked away in the phone. Sent it to Samsung for repair and they fixed it for free and also replaced my screen for some reason. I should be getting it back today.
