In the old Note phones/tablets, the S-Pen button would toggle between inking and erasing in the S-Note app. I thought this was extremely useful.
In my Note 3, the button functionality is now overwritten with Air Command. It seems the toggling in S-Note can't happen anymore and I imagine the Note 10.1 2014 would be the same way. Can anyone else confirm?
It's similar to Note 3 behavior, button always opens Air Command, even in S Note.
And just to expand on the previous comment, on the Note 10.1, while you can change the click functionality, your only options are Air Command, a singe option from Air Command, and nothing. This is a macro function so I won't be surprised if they add stuff like this back in an update.

In the review below (at the 10:01 mark) he starts using the AirView feature by hovering the S-Pen over the screen.
By doing this he is able to view menu options on a website that are normally hidden to smartphones.
My question is:
Can you do this with a bluetooth mouse?
Can you simply hover the mouse cursor (without clicking) over a spot on a website to bring up hidden menu options like he does with the S-Pen?
Thank you very much for your insight. If this works I think I might just get the Note II + a monitor and bluetooth keyboard / mouse as my desktop replacement.
I can confirm that it works. I plugged in a keyboard/mouse combo and it pretty much has all functions. But, I think.that you can bring up those menu items buy touching the area and moving the screen on all phones, it will act like you just hovered over the area.
Ive updated my USA Note 8 with the OTA 4.2.2 update. Everything works fine but I noticed that before when pulling out the pen, the home page converts to the samsung note pad options. Now it doesnt when I pull out the pen and stays on my regular home screen.
How can I get this to pull up like before?

The page buddy feature has been removed by samsung from 4.2.2 since day one, feels strange considering it was one feature they went about in their marketing campaigns of note 8.
however,not sure if it will ever see the light of the day again, I liked it too.
They have added few contextual shortcuts to notification panel as a replacement, which i don't think cuts it though.

Under the SPen settings you can check Open Popup Note and it will bring up the note pad when you extract the pen. I have that checked on my Note 8 and Note 2, very handy, it even pops up when locked. I never figured out what to do with the Page Buddy feature on my Note 2 so I haven't missed it on the Note 8.
Hello,
When I take out my s-pen, not only does air command come on, but the s-note app also opens.
I went into the s-pen settings and ticked NONE. S-note still pops open...AND its only half there...
I only want air command to show. So, how do I tell my note 2 (L900/SynergyRom), to not open s-note?
Thx!
Out of no where it stopped working,
I take out the spen and chose action memo it will open and it will close automatically by itself real quick every other thing with spen works except action memo
SNOTE does works but not action memo when i open it up from the spen pop up menu.
Anyone else?
Same here shortly after 5.1.1 update
I'm having the same issues, after I updated to 5.1.1 on my AT&T note 4, I factory reset and then a few days afterward I started noticing that the action memo, when minimized, would sometimes disappear within a popup window (calculator, for example) and wouldn't come back up until some time later when that app was open again, and not even consistently then. It's as if the phone forgot that it had a minimized action memo up, but wouldn't open it again because the system was registering that it already had an instance of that running. A restart fixes the problem but it shouldn't be necessary to reboot just so you can get a function working properly again. I use action memo almost every day, and although I have my doubts that it could be fixed (given that the AT&T note 4's are practically unrootable, eliminating the option of flashing a fix from here or another source), I'd looove a recommendation or potential remedy.
I love Air Command, use it to jot a quick not, or capture part of a screen and take notes on it... but what I dont like..
As soon as you enter DEX mode (I have the samsung keyboard case) air command goes away... no partial screen captures.
My wish... Air command worked in Dex mode, and while I am at it, that samsung notes either sync'd across devices to my chromebook and PC, or if I could change system note taking to app to something that does like Google Keep on MS Onenote.
Anyone have any workarounds for these same problems?
