So here's the weird issue. I have an AT&T galaxy note and I have put the GT and 7100 image on it.
so I went a T Mobile store, and I played around with their galaxy note 2 on display. I pulled out my spen. And started writing on the display device. now I grabbed the spen from the display note to, and started writing on my own note and it doesn't work. So what gives.
so the SPen from the display note 2 does not work on my note but my sPen from my note works on the display note on T Mobile.
So what you're saying is that your sPen works, but the display model's sPen doesn't. ok?
Did the display model's sPen work on the display phone?
Does the sPen perhaps only work when there's not an sPen inside the device?
The sPen they use for display models around me are all fake ones. The reason I know is the little white tip is not movable basically a display model of an sPen.
OP You sure you didn't have your S-Pen inside your phone when you tried to write with the other one? there's some kind of power saving thing that turns off the Wacom digitizer when the pen is holstered.
The spen they had was what it come with the phone there was no tether. The display's sPen works on the display Note 2 but not mine.
While mine works on both my device and the display device.

Am I missing something? Your S-Pen works with your device and the T-Mobile floor model. The S-Pen from the floor model doesn't work with your device. Why do you (or should we) care as long as your S-Pen works? I have five S-Pens between my N2 and Note 10.1; all work equally well on either device. I don't care if an S-Pen I don't own or use works on my devices.
Recently I lost my spen so..I called Samsung and spoke to customer service and found out that the spens are different and function differently with each device (verizon spen wont work with att device)..and vice versa...Verizon spen has different functionality ?..I dont get it

This was the answer to the problem. There is a setting for the spen that needs to be unchecked so that you can can write on the screen even if an spen is in the silo.

For all the people here, the S pen is not just an ordinary capacitive stylus, rather its hardware is properly configured and hardcoded to work with the phone only. If you think you have an alternate truth, then prove it.

Will the Galaxy Note Stylus Pen work on Galaxy Nexus?
Has any one tested this, it would be cool if we could port some of the things for Note to Nexus.

Nope the stylus won't work with the nexus because it doesn't have the hardware components required for it to work.

You could just buy any generic capacitive pen. That will work, have no clue about the S-Pen tech however.
Regards.
No. The pen needs to be able to send signals for pressure and speed to the handset its self. It will draw and use the screen. But it won't use any s-pen tech
So it would be a very expensive stylus at £60 a pop
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Tried it because my brother has a Note and it doesn't work at all. Our Gnex doesn't register any touches on the screen. As previously commented, you would have to get a different capacitive pen
Any status update on this feature,I could really use it one of the main reasons I bought the device, that plus LTE will make this device simply PERFECT x !

Im lost, when you say screen record function, do you mean screencast (or the like) or soething else
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Its a feature on the Note 2 (Similar to Screencast, but for the Note 2),
You can record tutorials, and other stuff to show to other people. This feature is currently on the International Note 2.

don't think international has it either, but it was advertised. anybody has the feature?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
I think this feature is controversial because of DMCA. As a result US Carrier Note 2's don't feature this and won't feature this for a while. If Samsung was so keen in putting this feature in the first place, they should have limited it to a few seconds or something.

I have to disagree because screen record shouldn't have anything to do with DMCA and I find it odd Samsung would advertise a feature that wasn't allowed in the USA. If so they should have mentioned it would not be accessible for our model, not to mention the DMCA existed before this feature was enacted so why lie about its availability if you know prior to release the limitations presented before you? I can still put my phone into debugging mode and connect to usb to show my screen on my computer then simply record the screen actions from there. This feature just made it easier.....hopefully we get an answer so we can deal with the answer I hate being ignored I've asked T-Mobile and Samsung and never get a straight answer it's always a bi reply

I read somewhere that carriers were not allow to enable this feature on our Note 2's because of copyrighted issues. I know it doesn't make sense because our computers can screen-record as well. What Custom ROM has this feature? It sucks when Carriers eliminate features and / or charge for features when they come standard with the international version free-of-charge (for example; WiFi Tethering).

I meant the International Note 2 is suppose to have the Screen Recording function.
If not, I suggest using Screen-cast.
Hey everyone
anyone any thoughts on this? I have a note 2 and I love it. I am well used to the size and to be honest I don't think I can go to the S4's 5" screen.
Am I or will I be missing out on anything that the S4 has or will the note 2 get all the features in an update.
IR Blaster is the only major thing you're missing out on IMO.
And lte possibly.
Sent from my GT-N7100
the IR blaster as aforementioned and the extra sensors if you care for such
The ir blaster would be a handy little thing to have but I don't feel it would outweigh the extra half inch of real estate.
Any note 2 owners switching to the s4?
I can't even imagine switching from note 2 to S4. In fact I'll be missing out on even more useful options. I really hate how the new layout of the S4's settings menu, it looks outdated and I hope they change that before 4.2.2 is released on the note 2.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Note 2 is way too good , no chance of replacing it with S4 .......Will wait for Note 3 & then decide on replacement.....As of now NOTE 2 ROCKS !!
If the Note 3 is more like the s4 than the Note 2, then I won't bother to upgrade.

I read, that with the update with the new S4 features that came come to the note, the menu on the GN2 is will become like the S4. I hope that is not the case as most reviews of the S4, have nothing positive to say about the menu..

When you hear about 6 inch Full HD (1080p) RGB screen, 4000mAh battery, 32GB internal storage and the slot for the external cards up to 128GB you will upgrade immediately.

Not switching. Note2 does excellent job for me. Might think about change after 4.2.2 is released. ..

1. Best battery ever on a Samsung smart phone - This is very important to me when I am out and have no access to charging , secondly I like to check my social networking media and love to have lot of widgets and live wallpaper - Try this on a S4 and you will know how bad the battery life is on S4.
2. How can you ever Trade a S-pens capabilities for a S4 ????
3. Instal a customer Kernel and overclock your Note2 to beat S4 performance.
- IR beamer !!! really - are you going to use it ????
- I am still not utilizing 100% of the sensor and motion control on Note 2 , S4 - Iam not sure if will use them all even though they are quite innovative.
And has anyone any idea when it will get some of the features?
The next probable update would be 4.2.2. Date unknown.
Note2 is best.. no need to replace that with s4.. wait for note3 and change it with note3..

I had this problem the other day and thought maybe we needed the info shared in this forum too. Simple fix, just flip one of the devices upside down. The sensor in the s4 is different than the s3 and note2. The s3 is close enough that it works on it, but the note2 sensor is a little farther off, so you have to flip one of the devices to line the sensors up. Link to where I found the info below. At first I thought it was a problem with my rom......wrong.....sorry for doubting your work JB.....lol

I have no problem beaming to my friends s4... you just have to realize the s4 chip is in the battery in the s4 whereas its above the processors in the note2 turning it upside down works but its smarter to just lower the note 2 to where the top of the note 2 is at the half way point of the s4...

I thought that was compatible only with Apple.
Which devices is the Script compatible with?
From Adonit.net
The Jot Script is primarily designed with iOS devices in mind. There will be some limited functionality with other capacitive touch screen devices as well. However its features such as Pixelpoint™*and palm rejection are currently only compatible with the iPad 3, iPad 4, iPad Air, iPad Mini(both versions), and the iPhone 4s or newer.

S Pen is electromagnetic. The display itself generates an electrical field that senses the presence of the pen up to a half inch away. Samsung's apps (EG: S Note) are pen aware. Any third party stylus on a standard capacitive display registers as a really skinny finger, not a pen. There is no way to replicate Samsung's Note features on a device without an active display.
