How to disable hand touch when S-Pen is out - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

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.

If a mod like this comes out, i would be a huge update for the note 3 and 10.1 - looking for this since a while...

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

I can't find the command you've used. Where is it?
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B0cv3wx-c6pMNDV5ZTNHTHQxSm8/edit?usp=docslist_api

when selecting the action to configure to a gesture select actions: Samsung Note actions: Disable touch input

I still can't find it

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.

Any help guys?

you set your own gesture to operate different command.
For example, i swipe from left to right by using two fingers can open the recent app page..
it really depends on your own choice.
So I am trying to see what gestures you guys have. Comparing to mine.

Put the edge of your hand on one side and swipe the hand across the screen like it was a handheld scanner. The image will be captured and saved in the Gallery under Screenshots.
For the palm swipe capture make sure it's activated in the motion settings

Setting - motion - select palm swipe to capture (under Hand motion)
for tutorial
setting - motion - Hand motion tutorial - learn about hand motion - palm swipe to capture
I use the palm swipe mostly.
You can also use the S Pen as well if you want.
Its about 3rd down in the list below.

It works perfectly with AOSP ROMs. I'm using with Paranoid android. You can assign a function or app to activate when you detach /attach the spen.

Yeah the last update that allows you to set what happens when you remove SPen and put it back put it over the top. I have owned it for a while. I set it to launch transparent pad then I made several gestures and double tap to open camera, I write a "X" to open XDA or Tapatalk, etc. Oh and write a "P" and it opens Papyrus. I dont use SNote at all anymore

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.

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.

That's not it, that's for scrolling thru the browser. I remember the tilting setting was under motions on my s3 along with the zoom on pictures and zoom on the browser. But I don't see it on my s4

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.

Not mines, my brothers, or my friends, but my brother has the feature working. It's not even in the settings, I enabled everything and it didn't work for me

How to change the actions of the SPen

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
