[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

I've been following your post, hoping for an answer too. I have wet hands often and would get alot of use out of a true hands free phone.
So far in my research, the answer is No.
Not very useful to have voice commands that you are required to use you finger to activate...

someone will have to make an app that links the proximity sensor to wake up command using s-voice .....not impossible, but a dev needs to work on it....and sorry i am no dev

Great Question
I ran into this issue with the blue tooth headset.
I use the security screen with pattern and discovered that my blue tooth headset will not dial out when the screen is locked. I dug into it and figured out that it was because it uses the s-voice app to provide the prompts.
I'm not sure, but I think Google has provided hooks for applications to work when the screen is locked, but you do have a security puzzle. If S-Voice can override the screen lock, you just defeated the purpose of the screen lock.
What we need is either a simplified S-Voice that only accesses the known numbers and nothing else, or a special mode you can easily place the phone into that enables the full S-Voice app to override the lock-screen, like a car mode, that you would enable and disable as needed. Has to be easy or you won't use it.
Thoughts?

Anyone else notice a fairly significant delay when trying to open up a note w/S-PEN??

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.

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.

[Q] S-Pen toggle?

Is there some sort of toggle or shortcut that can activate/deactivate s-pen without detaching the included s-pen?
Since I'm using BT S-Pen now, but I want to keep the included s-pen in place.

Actually, I'm expecting a 'shorter cut'
Guess I had to deal with that..

I hesitate to guess, but maybe because you cannot talk to regular pen and look like a normal person?
(Still wouldn't mind getting one for free)

my Note 8 is a phone... and i ain't gonna hold it against my ears to make/answer calls. So i need a bt handsfree.
Well, this pen is not HANDS-free, of course... but i like it better than having something hooked on my ears everytime.
Besides, the size of BT s-pen makes it much more comfortable to use than the standard s-pen.

How does it work for you?

Does anyone know of a widget toggle that turns the S-pen layer on and off?
This would be good for those of use with the BT or 8in S-pens.
I have the Spen layer off to save power right now but i have to pull the s pen out each time i want to use my full sized digitizer pen.
it'd be much more convenient if i can turn it on and off directly from my lockscreen or homescreen

hi
+1 for a "S-pen" SHORT-cut or toggle.
I bought the bigger spen (with eraser) for my US wifi note... and would love to have it...

I just ordered a s pen with holder too. Looking for something to toggle s pen on/off as well

I just leave mine off all the time. That way I can use either without having the pop up menu.

There is switch (Battery Saving) in s-pen settings, which enables hardware pen switch. Simply uncheck it and you may use freely your BT pen with original pen in tablet.
Another theme, same pen, my question to you - is your pen HF function working correctly? I have problem with tablet's deep sleep mode, HF disconnects in this case and i cannot receive incoming calls... :/

I don't recall I'm having that issue.
The problem I'm having is that sometimes when the pen is out of proximity, it doesn't reconnect automatically. This doesn't happen with my other phone (N4).
Yes it can connects to 2 devices simultaneously.

I know this has been a long time since posted. But here is an app which accomplishes what I think you are asking for. Cheers!
