Hell everyone,
My first time here. Just bought a Galaxy Note 8.0 and my friend who owns a Note 2 says her phone has a cool S Pen Keeper function.
I couldn't find the "Keeper" setting in my S Pen settings although both my Note 8 and her Note 2 show Android 4.1.2.

My Note 8 came with 4.2.2, I have no options for s-pen keeper when it's docked or not. Is it supposed to be on all the time?

Mine Note 8.0 doesn't have s-pen keeper feature either.
Nevertheless there is an app for this. Simply search for "spenkeeper" on the Play Market.

Thanks for letting us know there is an app. I got it and it seems to work fine. The screen does have to be off before it detects the motion, that's actually a positive, it would be annoying to set off the alarm if you were working and moved the tablet.

as I understand the Keeper app, app notices pen is out.
when screen times out and pen still out you get notified.
you need a non-zero delay time. that says "your pen is out and idle for { delay time } " and screen timeout
then you get the alarm
just my experience, not expert knowledge

Hey Guys,
I have just released an app on the Google Play store.
It is a plugin for tasker so you can control your notification led
Free - Ad Free
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tinyroar.galaxys3ledcontroller
(this plugin only works for touchwiz roms)
Like a charm!
I had searched for a solution to this months ago before giving up. Thanks for this!
I can confirm that it is working on a rooted Verizon S3, as well as a rooted Verizon Note 2. Finally, I can sleep without feeling like I live next to a lighthouse. :victory:

So, what can you do with this... not being flippant, just really getting into Tasker now and checking out all the different apps and plugins available and what they do, etc. Examples?
from my understanding there was a bug with tasker and lightflow that they wouldn't properly control the LED on the S3. This plug in allows you to create tasker tasks to turn them off and on.

I think any LED "bugs" would lie with LightFlow. It's just an all around POS on these devices.
This works great on both my gs3 and note 2
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2
I don't know if it's even possible what i'm about to ask, but would there be a chance to make this tasker plugin compatibele with Sony devices, for instance Xperia Z1?
I'm already trying solutions for hours but still cannot get tasker to turn off LED notifications at night when my device is charging on a dock.
I never had any problems with this before because I lways charged my phones face down, but now I'm using a dock so this is really bugging me!
EDIT: Light Flow isn't working for me either.
I know this is a REAL old thread, but I'm hoping someone might have a copy of this app. I was using it on my S7 Edge, accidentally deleted it, and it's no longer available in the Play Store. Any help greatly appreciated.

Came here with the same situation, thanks for following up with the link!
I've been using the 8.4 for a few days now and while I really enjoy the SideSync feature to sync up my Note 3 phone when it's not on hand, I haven't been able to open a keyboard to actually type anything, respond to a text message etc.
I was wondering if there is anyway to activate a keyboard.
Thanks!
My keyboard auto pops up.

Same here, but I can't get mine to connect without launching the phone app each time
I have to launch the app each time too.
Does your battery on your note 3 not like just drop like a rock? Seems for me when it is connected by wifi direct it just drops like a rock.
I found the solution. I installed a S5 keyboard on my note 3 and it worked after that. I'm running Effortless rom on my t-mobile note 3, that's where I got the keyboard linked below.

To install that particular zip, you need root. It needs to write that keyboard to the system folder which is only writable if you have root

So has anyone solved this problem of having to launch the app on the phone each time? It'd be much more useful if we can keep the app running on the phone so we don't actually have to physically get the phone in order to use it.

I recently got my AT&T Note 4 (yesterday, actually) and it updated to 5.1.1 (Unsure what it was running before hand) and I am wondering if there is a root for 5.1.1 on the ATT note 4?
Nope, not currently.

Not at the present moment. I'm in the same situation. I went with the Note 4 because the 5 did away with removable battery and expanded microSD. I just got mine last week and it has 5.1.1 on it. So I guess we just have to wait it out for now. I've subscribed to this thread and hope there is a root soon!
I knew I shouldn't have updated! But I didn't do it on purpose, I think it did it on it's own or while in my pocket...
Yeah I stupidly updated not realizing there wasn't a root available and well I'm here to join the club lol
Should be soon.

That's normal. Samsung assumes that if your messaging app is open, and your screen is on, then you will be able to see new messages appear on the screen. There's no way to change this unfortunately.
It sucks for me too because I use multi window sometimes, and the messaging app is open along with something else. I often make the messaging app smaller until I need to reply in a conversation, but I have to constantly check for new messages because no sound plays (or vibration).

Hi Xdaers,
I'm sure that most of you know about 'Note Buddy' and 'S Pen Toolbox' allowing you to customise the 'attach/detach' sounds of the 'S Pen', along with some other features.
I'm hoping that someone can point me to an app or method that will allow me to customise the sound emitted when you move the device too far away from the 'S Pen'.
I was able to do this on my 'Note 8', now I've forgotten how, but was definitely not through 'Root'.
Any help would be much appreciated, this is the last step in the customisation of my 'Note 10 plus 5G' and its driving me crazy.
Peace...
I think those aspects (sounds of s-pen) no longer work. I mean Note Buddy no longer works for me --itll work for like 2 minutes then revert back to stock sound. So I dont know at this point if those other sounds can be changed

definitely works on my 'Exynos', I don't use it's other features so can't attest to those. The only thing is that it doesn't include changing the proximity alarm sound.

It's not about the function, it's about the sound, and you'd know this if you'd read the thread from the start.
For instance with 'S Pen toolbox' I'm able to change the S Pen detach sound to that of a 'light sabre' and the attach sound to that of a door being locked. With 'S Pen keeper' the proximity alarm sound has been changed to that of a klaxon.
Small things, but they make the device uniquely mine.
I just installed it and change the sound, but it doesn't play it when I use the S Pen

Have you given it 'Administrator' permission?, there's a toggle in the app for it.
Also, make sure that notification volume is turned on.
Ensure that no 'Accessibility Services' are enabled that may interfere with notification sounds, then restart the device.

I guess 1 out of 2 isn't too bad, considering that no updates in years, but for me, S Pen Keeper also works for the proximity functionality.
Maybe try a different sound file/format.

Have a look to Pentastic original Samsung App for Spen ?
Pentastic is fantastic.
These are the customisations that should have shipped with the S pen from the get go.
No need for 3rd party apps now, except for the 'proximity alarm' customisation, so Samsung if you're listening, please add this in the next 'Pentastic' update.
No go with Pie... screw Q

I'm going to just go assume you'd need root to change the audio files that are most likely located in the system partition.
Do you have the Exynos or Snapdragon variant?
Tried to on the 10+, no joy.
Be nice if there be a Good Lock apk to do this...
It's a new phone.... you're not gonna find a way this soon in the game to do it without some other app. Do they even have root yet for it? Cause those folders you need root to view.

Yea, that was the app I was referring to. Seems decent, just gotta find some good pointers and sounds.
The good thing about Pentastic is you can install it as a standalone, good lock is not required. Pentastic is pretty good fun to use, well worth a try, just to try out new pen removal and insert noises is worth it.
Those looking to add lightsaber sounds to spen, download the lightsaber notification sounds from the zedge and use timbre app to reduce the volume of those files by 50% since they are very loud. 50% less is perfect balance.
I didn't get it on the playstore.. you can down load the apk from other sources.

What My Original Post was referring to was for being able to change the S-Pen Sounds without having to Install ANY other Apps that eat up Space and Resources.
I wish that by going through the System Files somewhere in Android that the S-Pen Sound Files Can be Found and Replaced for Both taking Out the S-Pen and Inserting the S-Pen.
Hopefully the Sounds are in an MP3 Format and can be Swapped without Any Problems and would stay even after Updates.
