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

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. .

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.

s-pen and handwriting recognition is quite cool, but how do you set it up to automatically put spaces in between words you write? I'm sure it must be an option but I can't seem to find it, and writing by hand is slower than just typing with thumbs if you have to keep hitting the space bar manually.

I'm a little perplexed at how difficult it is to find tutorials about the s-pen considering how popular reports claim this phone is. Are users simply enjoying a big phone and not exploiting the s-pen????
If im not mistaken this happens by default. Ive noticed if you just put a large enough space between the words or write one word underneath the other it will create a space. Hope this helps.

I still have missed out on a lot of neat options. I have developed a few habits, like whipping it out to take a quick note or something, but I still hit the buttons with my fingers instead of using the shortcuts. I am still unsure how the gestures work under the s-pen menu in the settings. Do I have to click the button? Does it only work in certain places? I don't get it, I tried to use the default ones to no avail, nor do custom ones work. I think it's because I use a different launcher actually, I forgot I already thought of that :x. Eh.
Like knarfies said, if you put a decent amount of space in-between the words it will automatically create the space. I also like writing at the top and just come down below the first word and it creates the space for me that way.
Also you can do a backwards L to do enter. You can do a quick swipe to the right to enter a space. You can do - by going back and forth to make it. You can also hold down the spen button and swipe left on the word or letters you want to erase.
I really got the hang of writing with it. One thing that does irk me though. It has problems with words having letters and numbers. I write down a car VIN and I have to do a delay in-between letters and numbers. Otherwise it just becomes a mess and VIN numbers need to be 100% correct when doing customer invoices.
If you are rooted, you can install the MyScript Notes app. It has much better HWR, converting your writing to text after you write a string of words, adding spaces automatically.
The app can be found in the apps section, look for a thread by cajunflavoredbob.

Yeah this phone is great even without the S-Pen, and the things I do use the S-Pen for, don't really need a tutorial (more accurate selecting, drawing, taking notes, and hover in browser which is awesome for opening drop down menus)
However, the handwriting recoginition for chinese characters is AWESOME... if only i really knew how to write chinese
How do you use the pen to "write" texts rather than using the keyboard? I am able to "write" over the keyboard and see the writing but all I get is the letters from the keyboard that the pen touched while writing.

If you are using the samsung keyboard, i just press the button on the right of the "Sym" button, the one with "T" and it goes to the text writing using S-pen. Im not sure of any other ways. Maybe there is a way to make it default.

You can also go into samsung keyboard settings have change it so that it auto detects when the pen has been removed.
I've been enjoying s-pen for small stuff. like others have said, more accurate selections, web browsing tricks, etc
I saw someone mention using the back/menu buttons with s-pen (i have to use my fingers to tap those)...how does one use the home/back/menu buttons with s-pen? I have no idea
Long-press on the microphone key at the bottom of the keyboard, then select the "T" (the one with the little pencil next to it)
To view various helps, tutorials and setting options for the keyboard and handwriting recognition, tap the Gear symbol that pops-up after long-pressing the microphone key (as above). Alternatively, go to Settings/Language and Input then tap the Gear symbol next to "Samsung keyboard".
Explore. Lots of things appear when you explore.
While on the topic...
I wonder if I am the only one to have this happened to me, or if I am simply bone-headed, but all of a sudden the Samsung keyboard stopped working properly. It doesn't let me 'swype' anymore (the option is checked in the settings, but greyed out for some reason) and even though I have it setup so that it would go into handwriting recognition after pulling the pen out, it does not.
I noticed the change after "updating" the English dictionary in the 'input Languages' setting. Not sure wether or not it is related...
However, quite annoying...

Use the built-in gestures with the s-pen to do the back and menu. While pressing on the s-pen button, draw < to go back, or > for menu.
There is no gesture for home, but I ended up getting Taskarou (an launcher overlay), or you could use Button Savior to go back to home.

To bring up the gestures menu you press and hold the s pen button off screen while keeping it pressed, swipe up with the pen touching the screen. A little box pops up and then you can draw the gestures there. This can be done regardless of what launcher you use and it doesn't matter what app you are using.

forgive me for asking this question if it has already been asked.

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

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.

Hey all, is there a way to remap the spen button to something else other than bringing up the air command menu?
I use Papyrus a lot and would like to remap the s pen button to switch to the Papyrus eraser.
Sounds like a potent rom feature or maybe an xposed module... I couldn't find much on this... Try looking in the note 2 and note 3 forums... If it can be done it on those I would think it would be done the same way... I would be surprised if you didn't need root though.
Any word?
Does anyone know if there's been any development on this?

I'm neck deep in smali files, looking for this. Just give me a bit. Unless a more experienced developer shows up, I'll try my best to find something for you. But be gentle
note buddy app
This is not a way to remap spen button but i think its a great and easy workaround
Note buddy app has auto launch you can set to open papyrus when spen is removed.
Also can easily set attach and detach sounds
Then goto spen in settings to turn off stock sounds and disable detachment from air command to none
