Does your guys pen require more pressure to operate compared to the note 2? On my note 2 I barely had to touch the screen, but the note 3's pen requires much harder pressure before it starts working. I even tested the note 2's pen on the N3's screen and it worked just fine. So it's gotta be the pen. Does anyone else have this experience or is my pen defective?

Mine has this problem too. It was normal when I first got it, but now it requires more pressure to work. I think its normal, so I'm not going to bother exchanging it.
There's an option in settings to increase the sensitivity, see if that helps.

Try replacing the tip. The bag that comes with the device has two types of replacements. Clear and rubberized. Change be tip to a clear one. Worked for me!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe on the Note 2 you could adjust the sensitivity on the pen itself somehow. I never needed to adjust anything so I'm not sure. I assume the note 3 would be the same way.
Edit: Yeah here's the thread on how to do it.

Please fix the link. I'd like to read it too. When I'm writing with the pen its fine, but if I'm doing something casually like playing Bloon TD 5, I find myself wanting a bit more sensitivity.

I think I've seen that somewhere else as well. It works, it's just that the plastic cover is so fragile, I almost cracked it in half trying to open it, so I didn't want to try it again.

So whenever I try and use the s pen it sucks. If I hover over anything it acts like i selected it. I just want to know is there a way to disable this. I don't want the s pen to do anything unless I actually touch the screen with it.

I believe that's the Airview feature of the S-Pen which you can disable from the S-Pen option settings.
It's a known problem.
Some people have taken the pen apart. Rather, i just slammed the pen on a hard surface a few times.
Fixed. I'm not joking. Try it. I promise you it will work

Holy ****, it fixed mine. I dropped it with a little bit of force, and sure enough it quit messing up. I appreciate it. I was also about to return mine.
I ended up swapping my pen for a returned pen. Tapping the pen mostly fixed it but it still had a problem on a the right side of the screen where I would have to tap really hard to activate a button press.

Best troubleshooting for your S Pen
Thanks this method worked for me too!!! Gave it two gentle slams on the table and was good to go. LMAO!! I called samsung to report the issue and they had no way of helping me out, I will call them back and have them implement this technique into their troubleshooting steps.
S Pen Issue
Having a problem, wondering if its just me.. When i go to use S Note, the pen is automatically set to the eraser, and if i select the brush mode, its still using the eraser. I can only write if i press and hold the button on the s pen, then bring it close to the screen.. and then its like an etch a sketch where my lines would all be connected.. As soon as I take the s pen away from the screen and go to write again, its back on the eraser! any help would be greatly appreciated..- Matt
That's not how it's supposed to work. Maybe you have a defective device? Either way I would bring it back to T-Mobile to get it checked out. Are you running a custom rom?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
Mine was hover selecting too but updated to the latest OTA, still had the issue. So I disabled and re-abled Air View and my problems were fixed. All has been good for a few days.
Yeah, it was working before but now its just all screwy, im waiting for my buddy who also has the Note 2 for tmo to come by im going to try his pen. This way I can figure out if its the pen or the phone. Thank you for letting me know that this isnt how its supposed to work!
I had the original note and it seemed the s-pen would almost click in place seemed a much stronger hold. Is anyone elses note 2 seem like s-pen can slide out really easy?

The S-Pen on mine Note 2 doesnt seem to "click" in place. It seemed a bit loose to me at first, but I tried my hubbies N2, and it was the same looseness/feeling.
It isn't 'loose' by any means and it wouldnt fall out by itself. Just slides in and out easily.

Yeh thats what I think too not really loose just smooth without the click feeling my old note had.

I actually have a question about its tip. The end tip looks like a little loose in mine so when it touches the screen the tip gets into the pen. I am not sure it is defective. Please check yours to see if the tip is firm and not moving in and out. Thanks.

The tip going in and out is how the pen can detect the level of pen pressure you place onto the screen. It's the same design as a wacom drawing tablet (which is where Samsung went and got their digitizer technology from).
Is this pen's fit will become loose if you use it too much? I am kinda afraid to use alot.

I believe it turns off the wacom pen layer when the S-pen is in the holder. This should save some battery

just to back this up - that's exactly what it does; its best to leave pen detection on if that's your only stylus, however if you happen to be using a full size wacom stylus, it'll only work when the pen is detached... got me confused the time i tried to use my lenovo and slate pens and they wouldnt work... because the feature was on...
I just got a used note 2 and from who I got it from he said that the screen was broke and he had replaced it but whenever I try to use the s pen certain areas of the screen the stylus won't write on. Its either not accurate or scribbles to the left or right of where I'm writing at. Since I'm new to the s pen and the note 2 touchscreen I figured I would get on here and ask to see what it could be. I'm thinking maybe the digitizer but I didn't know if its built into the screen replacement or if its built into the the actual LCD panel. Any help or comments are appreciated.

I tried the recalibrating and resetting solutions and it didnt work. I also bought a new s pen and still didnt work and when i tried to recalibrate it there wasnt anything to change like my first one. it just looked like a small circuit board with a button on it and thats all. Im guessing its a problem with the digitizer itself but since it works just fine with my finger ill leave it be for a while. just a shame i cant use the s pen for more precise doodling lol

In your opinion would it be worth switching out the screen & digitizer for a new one? Or just keep using it like this until the screen breaks or whatever.

Same here...I've done a little research and I'm not quite sure which part I need. I see a sensor board replacement that's pretty cheap, a glass/digitizer replacement that's also pretty cheap or all that plus a LCD panel that's crazy expensive. So I guess my question is would u just replace the glass/ digitizer or sensor board or both since my LCD panel seems to be in perfect condition. I don't really wanna tear more into my phone than what I have to ya know?

This! That's the tool you use to remove the nib(tip of the S-Pen) so you can change it once/if it becomes worn. In that same bag you'll find the replacement nibs as well. Between launch of the Note 3 and the Note 4, I only changed my Note 3's once. Even though I use mine daily, I don't draw or write too much with mine, and I know some people do. So I'd imagine you'll need to change it more often than myself if you use your S-Pen a LOT.
