Anyone else notice a fairly significant delay when trying to open up a note w/S-PEN?? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

I double tap, and it seems like a solid 2 seconds before the note comes up. 2 seconds is a long time if you are trying to jot something down quickly.
To clarify, I am talking about opening up the note taking feature by pressing the S-PEN button and double tapping on the screen.

My note was doing the same thing and I found some crazy setting that did the trick. Mine is now almost instant. I'm looking right now trying to find that setting.....stand by.
I can't seem to find the setting now. I don't remember if I had actually turned something off or on now. I just came across it before and boom it worked. Sorry dude, but I will keep checking here in a bit after my meeting. I am also running Zedi 3.2 rom if that has anything to do with it.

OMG yes a some what huge delay; it gets annoying.

Go into S Pen settings and check the box to have S note pop up when you remove pen, it is instant upon pen removal.

Thank you Granna. That is a good work around, but not really the solution I was looking for since I don't use the note each time I pull out the pen.
Hoping for another fix.

I have another type of delay.
If you go to Snotes and try to open any note you have there it takes forever to open the note. Sometimes I think I didnt touch the icon well enough but then it opens. There are times I have to wait 4-5 sec to open a note in Snotes.
Such a slow app. However my pop-up note works very fast everytime double click with pen.

[Q] Air view & Spen problem.

Guys pls help enabling the air view feature is creating some problems .
Wen I use spen to type on keyboard with airview On. Then wo touching the screen the spen types watever letters it waves over.
Spen also selects application automatically wo touching it just by waiving it over the screen.
As soon as I switch off airview the problem ends.
Pls help is anyone facing the same problem.
Or any solutions....??????????
That is not a problem related to airview.
It was a known "bug" on original Note spen and it has definitely been carried over here too.
That s pen sometimes clicks even when it is 4 - 5 mm above the surface.
It is usually when the mobile is....on flat surface afaik...
Its not related to airview
sounds really stupid but reading another thread on here someone said to slam the pen down on its side as to not harm it and it will work perfectly......mine was doing the same thing as yours an it was very frustrating....this fixed it immediately and now it is awesome!!!

I tried tapping the pen, moving the tip, cleaning, turning air view off - nothing fixed it until I adjusted the potentiometers

Wake up lag, or is it just me?

My phone takes like 1 second to wake up. I know it doesn't sound like much, but I got used to the instantaneous wake ups with my old SGS3 and I thought this phone would be snapier.
Anyone else?

I have the same wake up lag.
Everyone has this problem, i dont think anyone has found a fix yet, all i know is that its not the processors fault

I have both phones and the Note 2 wins 90% of the time and my S3 has a custom rom and kernel so it's pretty beefed up so I think some of us got decent one's..? As you said though... Definitely NOT the processor!
Go to S Voice settings, then disable Open Via Home Key.
That should disable the wake up lag

Think that tip is for the "home button lag" fix...?
yeah when you first get your phone and you press home it doesnt go directly to home, it waits a second or two for the second click to activate s-voice but if you disable it (s voice < google search) it will go directly to home

Yup! :good:
I've noticed my phone doing the same thing. If it's a couple minutes in between turning the screen on it takes a second. My phone also seems to struggle with some simple transition animations, now.
Where are the S voice settings. I can't seem to find them.

No this fixes a separate issue. This fixes the home button lag when using it to go from an app to the home screen.
What the OP is talking about is the delay that you get when trying to wake up the phone, whether it be with the home button or the side button. This seems like a software issue that hopefully Tmobile/Samsung address.

That's weird because I don't experience this issue. There is no lag when I wake up my phone.
However, my phone is the international version so most likely the issue is related to Tmobile bloatware.
Try to disable Svoice home button first. If you still experience this issue, then you should wait for update

It is not the "SVoice solution related problem". It is a "power/home button to turn on" issue which is totally different.
Every T-Mobile Note 2 has it (I tested it on several of them at the T-Mobile store).

Ya, uncheck the ripple effect and uncheck "Popup Note on lock screen".... Night and day difference for me!! And I unchecked Help text too.... Try it out guys... :good: Def better anyways! I don't have it with my International but I do with my T-mobile and I watched a vid by QBKing and he explained how this helped the Sprint version...
( They are in the "Lock Screen option" in the menu....)

Nice, although i turned back on ripple effect. And the thing I noticed is that if you just turn off and on the screen it takes a while longer. However, if you just turn off the screen, wait a few seconds, then turn it back on, it's much faster.

Hell if you really want it fast then uncheck all that crap in the settings and it will FLY!
I did flash the gt-7100 rom and there is no lag at all now im back to T-Mobile and its laging so we have to wait for the developer to port the gt-7100 rom

[Q] S Pen help please

I've went through every setting I can think of but cant figure this out. Just got my Note today, and this was working until somehow I switched it off I guess. When I pull the pen out, it doesnt bring up the S Pen options anymore. It vibrates and makes the sound, but nothing comes up on the screen. If I go set it to open up an S Note when the pen is removed, it will work, but I somehow switched off where it will bring up the whole menu of options to choose from.
When I pull my pen out it defaults to the screen you are talking about. On that screen if you tap the settings menu, it takes you to a something called "page buddy". There are check marks in Page Buddy that make it default to opening certain screens when you remove the pen, insert headphones, and dock the phone.
Sounds like you may have turned page buddy off. Not sure where the settings for that are though...
go to main settings-display there should be a "page buddy" option. make sure it's on on the right side with the switch. then click on the name itself on the left and it will take you to it's options. make sure the s pen page is enabled and you are good to go. just remember this doesn't work in any app, just on the home screen

s-pen problem

okay so with the air play thing when i go to hover over something like an icon on the home screen or anywhere for that matter, sometimes it will open it like i clicked the screen when i never actually touched the screen. should i go to sprint or is there something i could try first? thanks guys!!
If you're within you're 14 day period, get it replaced, they swore up and down it was just a feature of the phone at the sprint store and Samsung themselves, but if you bought it online through sprint, call and get it replaced, if you got it at a store stand firm and make them replace it, same thing happened to mine, got a new note and the pen was the issue with the last one

Could also be the sensitivity setting in the S pen. mine was clicking and marking all over the place. I found directions on the web somewhere, but you basically pop out the clickable button cover on the pen with the edge of razor blade (it will go back on), and you will see the adjustable slot by the actual button, turn it counter clockwise,with a small screwdriver or similiar until the sensitivity is where you want it.
Worked for me. Good Luck

Cool app for speakerphone

I have a small business and bought the note 2 for the s-pen popup note and the larger screen. I want the seemless ability to answer a call... take down a customers info as easy as possible at any given time. I found a sweet app that helps me with one step its called speakerphoneEX in the play store. I set it to go to speaker phone when I pull the phone from my head. So with popup note enabled I can receive a call and when it is time to take down cusromer info I pull the phone from my head which puts it on speakerphone without having to push the button... then pull spen and popup note is there. When done I reinsert spen it saves note and put phone back to my ear and it goes back to earpiece. Brilliant! Now if I could have it launch a custom note app sheet instead of snote popup note when removing spen....

That's pretty cool. Sounds like one of those things I didn't know I needed, but now it's a must have.
