How to change the actions of the SPen - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Hi
I just notice that from factory out of the box if I take out the SPen the SNote app open, but now I take out the SPen and the phone only vibrate. I check in settings, SPen, but the only option is to enable quick note when I take out the SPen.
How do I control.what the phone does when I take out tge SPen.
Thanks

I already check, but the only option under settings, spen is to run quick notes when you take out the spen.
I'm trying to run the default action.

Thanks, but the feature mentioned above does not support codes so it does not work when the phone is locked.
Do you have a GS3?
Why not try adding the camera app to one of the shortcuts on the lockscreen?

This is why:
1) Faster camera launch.
2) You don't have to enter a password every time you want to take a picture yet your phone its still locked/secured.
3) If you want someone else to take a pic, you have to stop and unlock the phone first or give them your password.
4) When the shortcut is on the lock screen, you have to enter the password before allowing you to take the pic. You'll miss the moment.
5) With Windows 7 and Crapple you don't have to unlock and could quickly launch the camera. Also, all the pictures you take at the moment are visible w/o unlocking.
It would be a good feature to have on the GS3.
Would be a great add on

of course that would be an inconvenience if you have a password on your phone (which i understand most people do.) i on the other hand do not as i dont let my phone out of my sight. i use the shortcut but thats just me and like they say to each his own right.
I would assume if you have a pin unlock code or something else it would be there no matter what app you use

If you use Tasker and the secure settings plugin this MIGHT be possible.

There is an app for this but it requires having a dedicated shutter button on the device.
May I ask how you plan to take a picture without having some sort of GUI?

The stock ROM for my old HTC Amaze did this. I I don't know why Samsung didn't include it.

If memory serves me right, that has a dedicated camera button. If you really really really want this feature, you could remap the home button to function as your camera button, then run the navigation bar that appears in galaxy nexus devices and devices without hardware buttons
Can't you make a tasker function for that

Here is a link of how exactly this is done using tasker.

You can wait for Android 4.2 since this functionally is now built into the lock screen.

Yes it does but I didnt have to use the button to do it. You pushed the unlock button, then slid the lock ring onto the camera icon (assuming you had it on your lock screen) and you could take a picture. You would see the 3 sec preview of it, and then take more pics. If you tapped the small pic of the last image, and it would take you to the pattern/number lock. That way someone couldn't see your pics without the pass.

Spen tricks

Hey I'm enjoying my note I have had it for a day I'm curious of some cool tips and tricksv with the phone and he the s pen Thanks
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Go to Settings>>>> Spen>>>>Spen help
All of them in there
I'd have to say that Quick Command is so far my favorite S-Pen feature, as the previous posted said check under Settings > S Pen > S Pen Help, or go into your app drawer and open help then tap S Pen and you'll be able to learn about all the neat functionality.
While hovering, you switch from pen to eraser by clicking the spen button then switch back to pen again by clicking one more time, again while hovering.

Weird feature (not in settings)

My brother has this weird feature (he has an S4 too) that my phone doesn't do.
So if you look at the photo below, he's holding down an app on his home screen but what's so different between my s4 and his is that when he tilts his phone left or right it switches to that direction. For an example, he can tilt it to the right to move an app to a home screen that is on the right (like the next page) .
This isn't normal because my friends and my S4 doesn't do this and we can't find the option in the settings

I think that feature its called air move. I think it only works in the TouchWiz launcher.

Standard feature for touchwiz since the galaxy s2 on t-mobile.
You just have to enable the option. Same is you zoom into a picture put a finger on the image and move the phone around you can pan through the image...
Read the manual in the box... something no one ever does.
<3
By tilting? That's not the air move. I don't see the tilt option either. Turning on the pan photos setting doesn't do it.
Seems like it would be a combination of Smart Scroll (allows device tilting to move) and and Air Gesture...but I can't repeat it. Weird....
It's the tilting features, but for the life of me I can't find the setting for it.

Guys, It's not air gestures, air gestures you SWIPE your hand on the sensor, and it's NOT smart scroll. I swear I remember seeing the setting under motions on my s3 but it's not anywhere on my s4

So, do you have any S4 with that function?
I only found the tilt to zoom image setting on Setting --> My device --> Motions and gestures --> Motion --> Tilt --> Zoom.
I cannot find the tilt to switch page. May be it's replaced by air gesture.

S-Pen pie menu no-show

Hi there. Love the phone. Small problem though - I pull the pen in and out, press the side button on the pen, but nothing - no pie menu. Any ideas of what the issue may be ?
You need to hover the pen over the screen so you can see the pointer on the screen. Then press the button and the menu will show up.

I'll add "the button on the s-pen" I had the same problem and it took me a while to figure out the button is on the pen. :laugh::laugh:
I'll also add that in s pen settings there is the following options for when you remove the pen: turn it off when you remove pen, action memo, and air command. 'Air command being the one your referring to' It could possibly be turned off

How to disable hand touch when S-Pen is out

I'd like to disable the hand-touchscreen when I'm using the s-pen.
Is it possibile?
P.S.: I'm rooted
I also wanted to do this (make the handwriting pad default) and was told my Samsung customer support that it was not possible.
good feature

Yeah, I was just thinking about this yesterday.it would be nice if there was a Google in the notifications panel where we can just disable touch control totally and just let the pen do the job.it will be excellent for sketching.

Do you have pointer option in SPen settings turned on? When it's on and S Pen is close to screen(when you can see the pointer) hand control is turned off.

It's not enought for me. I don't want hand touch disabled only when S-Pen is near the screen, I want hand touch disabled even when S-Pen is far, so I can use Note as more similar than a real paper sheet.

S Notes and Ez pdf (several other apps do this as well) both have palm rejection which it basically what you want. Your hand will only work at the very top edge and bottom edge of the screen. You cannot enable this on the system as a whole though.

use GMD S Pen control. It has a gesture that disables finger input system wide though I map my Own gesture to the action. This even disables the capacitive buttons until you re-enable touch. CHEERS

I set gestures multiple times to ensure recognition. When using gmd gesture control I have tusker set to pause the gestures when I remove the spen so. they don't interfere with it. I'll make a thread on my setup

Strange your ROM must not support it. I am running the ML1 and it's there so you should flash that. I also had it on the American MK1 SO You Could try that or Clean Rom as well.
