Sounds like a hardware fault to me.
A friend had the same problem, it's a little triangle shape area like 4mnx4mn

Same problem here.
or... it's not really a problem for me, didnt notice it before i read this post.
Its already been noted magnetic fields interfere. Is it near the speaker per chance?

It's not a hardware fault, that's just how the spen work (the note one had a simular 'issue' too). If you go to settings and change the s pen settings from right handed to left handed it's the left corner that won't work.

Nope, when i change the setting, nothing change. Maybe it's the speeker, or the pen captor?

After hours of testin, it must be something interferencing with this corner.
When i push a little harder the stylus in this corner, Spen work but the cursor is shaky.
This would really irritate me - does it happen with every note? Or just some? And is it always the same size (4mm triangle)? And exactly where is it - is it right in the corner if the screen or somewhere nearer the middle?
If it does not happen on every note I'd be returning the phone for a new one, if it does happen on every note I'd be thinking very hard as to if it would irritate me too much.
Mine also does not respond, its where the head of the s-pen lies, so maybe there is no sensor in there.
I'm lucky enough for not having the issue.

he's right , here's a screenshot taken after trying to fill the area in with sketchbook mobile. https://www.dropbox.com/s/0h1jfkzhgy6zksh/notecorner.jpg most apps don't use that area though. ( sketchbook does )
I just checked, it works for me.

Hmmmm, seems to be only affecting some people from these replies - could it be ROM related (are you all running same ROM) or is it a true fault? If its just a ROM then there are no real concerns for me but if its hardware related........!! Would annoy the hell out of me - I love sketching on devices - I'd be returning it

Now try to fill it using a very thin pencil. Normally it's the hole right and bottom border that won't get colored (happens to me on my note 1 and 2). That bottom right corner just happens to be in the intersection of both lines which makes it a little harder to fill even with a large brush.

I tried scrolling down a page using air view and it works. Should I test something else?

So is this normal behavior? I'm looking to get a n2 this week and I want to be able to spot defects
I have a white International version, stock Rom. Airview work in this corner, but it's shaky an i have to aproche the Spen, more than in the other area of the screen.
super interesting thread would like to know if this is normal. with hover , the arrow disappears as well when it enters this "note 2 Bermuda triangle"
( tried with a really thin brush on sketchbook, same thing )
I stumbled across a cool little feature while the screen is off. Cover the light and proximity sensors for several seconds and the top half of the screen will emit an aqua blue aura that displays missed calls, messages, and battery. I know this feature is somewhat useless, just thought I'll do some digging after it accidentally popped up on me while handling the phone.
Edit: Cool, I didn't realize it was the Quick Glance feature. Thought I was going crazy when I couldn't figure out how to reproduce it.
Hmm I do not see that

Doesn't happen here, either. Is this some kind of buried setting?
I could see this being useful if it could detect your phone is in your pocket, and when you pull it out, it would show that information.
It's in settings - motion - quick glance.
Then if you scroll down while still in motion to advanced settings there are more options for it in there.

Yeah I found it, very neat. I turned it on, I'll see if I continue to like it or if I find it annoying.I turned on a few more motion features. Why not try them?
The phone must also be laying flat (like on the table for example) otherwise it doesn't work.
Yeah it doesn't seem to be too reliable plus the info goes away too fast for me

thanks for this...no more pressing the power button when my phone is on the nightstand just to see the time or battery...etc...nice feature
Cool.

Does turning this on have and detrimental effects on battery life? Does it get activated accidentally in your pocket?
Love it. Wish it was faster, though. My screen turn on lag is not good

I noticed you can press the touch keys in those few seconds while the screen lights up and it will make the drip sound... little annoying in the middle of the night.

Don't think it would do much damage to the 3100mAh battery. I'm still getting over a day's use, at least 6 hours of screen on with the quick glance feature on. According to others, it only triggers if the phone has been laying on a flat surface. So I think it'll be just fine in our pockets.
Friends,
I use the Galaxy Note 2 to draw, when I draw the s-memo (s-note) in S-pen cursor disappears and this complicates the accuracy of the drawing.
Anyone know how to turn the cursor display when designing the s-memo?
Thank you.
I don't think there is a way... just draw on the screen like it was paper, you don't have a cursor on paper do you?

My s pen seems to be writing/selecting by itself without me actually pressing the button or touching the screen. Is this normal for you guys or do I have me a faulty s pen?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
The Galaxy Note 1, you had the option to display the cursor's S-Pen when he was sketching the S-memo.
The S-Pen has a small gap where the pen tip touches to the sketched line in the S-memo, it hinders much when making a design that requires precision.
Radrian92, that sometimes happens to me.
You may be able to adjust your S-pen; I had a similar problem and adjusted mine to solve it. Here are the instructions I found for the adjustment.

Think I'll "smack" it first than if that doesn't do the trick I'll proceed with the other step lol

Just checking to see if anyone else is having this issue trying to decide if it is software or hardware. From time to time I have a non responsive section (lower right corner) it doesn't always do it so I wasn't sure if it was something loose hardware or a software clich. It is not app specific had it happen in games, home screen, and mostly in keyboard but I think that is because I use the keyboard more than anything.

My screen can be a bit funky at times too. What rom / kernel are you using?
I am still factory now. Dang there it goes had to hit the period 3 times now working fine again.

Except that's a wacom digitizer issue, the OP is having a problem with the capacitive touchscreen (unless he uses the qwerty keyboard with his S-pen which seems cumbersome)
And yeah, i too can't seem to hover reliably at the VERY bottom right corner of the screen, but my capactive touchscreen is fine as if you look at where the OP is having problems (around the period button on the virtual keyboard) my S-pen works there, but it's hard to detect when it gets close to the bottom right corner, maybe a 2x2mm patch.
In any case, OP, looks like a hardware defect, go grab a new one.
Looks like I have similar problem. I even opened s-note and tried to draw some lines using tiniest pen line. I have few pixels which I couldn't draw on. Anyone with same issue?

Is your phone situated near any kind of magnet-material? Usually, that causes interference with the display on the Note 2
So when I use the pen and try and write closely to the home button the pen doesnt trace properly. I can see the indicator move around the spot that I am trying to write on. Has anyone had this problem before? Its like there is a dead spot that then pen just goes around.
Thanks.

Is the device in a case with magnets? They can interfere with the digitiser.
The case does have magnets but its not happening near them its by the home button and in the middle of the device. But I will take off the case and see if it helps. Thanks.
