forgive me for asking this question if it has already been asked.
does anyone know how to disable the back button at the bottom of the screen when using the s pen?
In the s memo. . You have a small icon at the bottom right to toggle between s pen only and both finger and s pen input

I do not know
There's a solution.
Just use app called gmd spen control. It disables all finger touches of you need it to.
You can even set it automatically to disable finger input when you pull out your spen.
(this app doesn't work on 4.4.2 yet)

I have the new Galaxy Note II (GT-N7100).
I know how to capture the part of screen by stylus but I want to capture the whole screen.
Anybody can tell me key combination to capture full screen.
little Confused.... What do you mean by full Screen Capture???
the S pen can do it by holding the button and holding the pen on the screen!!! Is that what you mean???

On the Note 1 you slide your hand across the screen, holding your hand in karate chop fashion.
Then you can go into the notifications, click on the notification and edit with Skitch etc

Do you mean the single page you are viewing but not the multi pages?
Never heard of a part screen capture.

Why don't you just use the s pen for screen capture..just press the button and tap on the screen...much easier than pressing multiple buttons.
Sent from my GT-N7100
Key combination is home + power key, or you can press the s-pen button and hold the s-pen on the screen for 2 seconds or so.
I honestly miss the sliding your hand over the screen. My Note 1 had that, and my friends S3 has it as well! I wonder why they decided to remove it from the Note 2. While I love the SPen, I don't ALWAYS use it! Sometimes I Just see something that I don't want to edit and just want to capture the screen and I just swipe and done! Now I'd have to take out the SPen, dismiss the autoaction, snap the screen shot, and then put the SPen back in. It seems like a waste of time. I hope Samsung brings back the swiping motion ASAP!
Settings, Motion, Palm swipe to capture screen.
Works great for me...

I also use to swype with my finger from left to right and it will capture your screen
Key combination: home button+power button. Hold it.

impossible to put my hand in bottom of the phone while writing in s-note, stupid thing when you know that you can disable hand-writing and use only the s-pen, is there any way to lock the 2 tactile buttons while writing???? thanks

I was actually annoyed that I couldnt tap on the menu button and back button with the s-pen and found that there is a command for back and menu.
Open the help from your apps and choose s-pen and then commands to see it. You basically have to click on the button on the s-pen and while holding it down draw a command which is from right to left diagonally down and then to the right again for back. For menu if I recall its the top of a triangle from bottom left diagonally up then down right...I should have used my note to respond and paste an image in here

I dont think you understood me, but thanks anyway.
My question was, when i'm writing with my s-pen, i always accidentaly touch the back button, or the home or the menu button (physical and sensitive) . IS there any way to lock these buttons???????? like when watching a video and locking with power button, you canot anymore touch the home/back button, is there any way to do that in s-note? or any other apps
When I use the S Pen, the menu and back buttons are automatically disabled.
As a test, just on your home screen, hover the pen so the blue circle appears, then try and press the back and home buttons, they should not work.
Move the pen away, and they work again.
I too would prefer a way to lock the hard menu any back buttons. It is true that they don't work when the pen is in hover range but the moment it is out of hover range there is a high possibility that you hit them and they respond. It is impossible to always stay in that small range.
This feature would be really of great help when using the camera also. I keep accidentally touch the back button when trying to use the camera.

I understood the opposite of what you wanted
Mainly because as other member posted these buttons are locked while using the s pen. . However, if the s pen is not in range then they can still be pressed so you do have a point. . Maybe a customization feature in a rom. . ?? Feature request from the dev of the rom you are using?!
Well if you didn't know the s-pen shortcuts. . Now you do. .

I'm not sure if that's possible but i know there's a post in the" how satisfied are you with your note 2" (or something like that) thread which has instructions on how to enable the on screen keys and disable the capacitative ones.

the problem is for me that my hand touches the back button before the pen is close enough to the screen...
stupid that there is no real setting in S-Note to disable the back + menu completly...
yeah I want that option too

Hey guys.. Is anyone else having difficulties trying to launch a application using the spen feature? You can program the spen to open up applications using any gesture but for some reason anytime I try to make one It doesnt work.. I hold the button down and draw my gesture it then crops a photo to save instead of opening anything up?
Any tips? Am using simple gestures like the figure 8 ..or 0. Still nothing?

Hey bro lol are you bringing up the gesture app first? It only works there. Hold button and draw a line up then the grey pad comes up then do your gesture. You should have asked me yesterday lol. Hey h0tw1r3 brought stock ics port from n7005 to note 1! Go check it.
Gotta check it out now...wish hotwire was here too...ill gtalk ya later...lol..hey thanks for the tip on gestures..
If your device is rooted, you can try my app, it allows to create custom SPen gestures that are executed anywhere without starting special window.

Well I just got my hands on a Note II and I was wondering, is there a way to make mouse over instant using the S-Pen as a hardware mouse?
the pen work as a mouse, activate air view in s-pen settings and you can see a dot when the pen is close to the screen. If you over that dot in webpages, it works as a mouse, handy for hovering menus.

Elaborate please. i fail to understand what youre trying to achieve
just to note, it will hover even if you have Air View turned off. just that you won't see the dot.
but yes, it will act just as if you had a mouse and were hovering over an item.

what I want to do is open popup submenus in webpages. for example in newegg, in the homepage, if you put your cursor over a category a popup windows will open with all the sub categories. now, if you don't only place your cursor there but click it, it will transfer you to a different page. but to do that in android you have to hold your finger on the link, and wait for the popup to popup . so what I want is to use my s-pen as a hardware mouse.
Mine does that already. If i just hover over a menu it will automatically pop out.
As far as i know all i did was turn on airview. Everything else is stock

Dear Devs. Chefs...
Please please please make a mode that will enable a soft buttons menu when we release the s pen from the note 2, :fingers-crossed:
Very annoying when u have to touch your finger to toggle the buttons.
I hope some one has thought about this.
It would be great if it buttons would be integrated on the statusbar.
I'm using a Stock Rooted Rom...
I've tried the status bar enabled full time and that is annoying too...
Looking for trigger based soft buttons to be specific
I want the S pen features to work...
I've tried the PAC rom! I like it but then I like the S pen features more!
Thank you Cheers!

S pen features working only in Samsung rom base, coz its closed sources, u can try another apps from market.
Is there any app that enables " Lets say Floating Soft Buttons '' ?
I've tried searching and ended up with nothing resourceful!
1. Press pen button
2. Swipe pen downwards on bottom left and bottom right of screen
3. Profit
Gestures aren't super fast but they work
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
It's not disabled. It's just isn't possible. S pen works on potentiometer. It just sends the movement signals the pressure on pen tip and the button. It does not simulate human touch. So it's not possible.

OMG Thank you so much !!!

From four months of using Note II until today I never knew about this gesture feature...THANKS for the info.
My bad. ..
Sorry n Thank you for the tip. .. .
But there is no option to add command like go back to main menu or switch application.
I could allocate a task manager though.

Yeah hold button and drag 1/5 of the screen towards button or enable nav bar.

Why don't you try flashing pie controls? I think its possible for any rooted ROM.
