S Pen stopped working - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3

Just noticed when I pull out the s pen I get the noise and the cursor however nothing happens when I press the button on the pen.

Set the Spen detachment option to Air Command in settings.

Thanks. When I do this air command does appear when I remove pen. However pressing the pen button removed air command and then I cannot get it back again unless I put pen back in and out.

Sorry, I forgot, also enable Air Command in settings (there's another setting, separate from the Spen settings, called Air Command).

Thanks I'm such a noob. It was air command disabled after kit kat update.

How to get the S Pen to work on back and menu button?

I really like this S pen but is there anyway to get it to work on the back button and the menu button. I find it very annoying I have to use my finger on those 2 butons rather that te s pen.
Any ideas?
Thanks
There are quick commands you can use on the screen to simulate those buttons.
While holding down the button on the S-Pen, draw
"<" to simulate back
"^" to simulate menu

On your phone, go to Settings -> S Pen -> S Pen help -> Gesture
All the S-pen gestures are listed there.

The concept of having a hard Home button is a joke. Just make it the same like the others. But, I've never liked the capacitive buttons either for the problem you are mentioning. The gesture shortcuts help, but it's just a workaround for the problem.

^^ This and you can make your own gestures as well.....
You can enable the on screen soft menu. You have to add a line in system/build.prop. You have to be rooted.

Buy the app
Gmd spen root.
You can make any gesture you would like for back or menu or home. I have even enabled an option so i dont have to push that annoying button on the s pen for back and menu. Google gmd spen root note 2 and there is a free 2 day trial. After the trial i immediately bought the app.
EDIT
Try this

You can also activate the menu and back buttons by holding the S-pen button in, pressing the S-Pen on the screen and dragging down just above the buttons
Thank Enrique Huerte on G+ for that secret maneuver.

Spen not able to capture screen or lasso image

Hi!
My Spen w/o pressing the button, is able to function. But, when I press the button (on the Spen), it doesn't screen capture or trace the screen to lasso an image.
I tried it on another Note 2, my Spen works on theirs.
I tried their Spen on my Note 2, it didn't work.
Anyone notice this?
Thanks, team!

Normally all spen works in any note 2. It seem your phones digitizer having some problem. Check with service center.

Did you try looking at the spen settings? If yes and still no progress. As he said, go to the service center or at least google your problem before going there as a last resort.

Pen Window help

Can't figure this out. Everytime I select the pen window function and draw a box on screen I don't have any option to open an app, it just cuts that piece out and I get options on how I want to send it. What the heck am I doing wrong?

I am selecting the pen window. The one on the right when I remove pen and it pops up and looks like a title box with an x in right corner and dashed window, tried doing screen shot but wouldnt take the pop up.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk 4
It sounds like you might be holding down the S-Pen button when you're drawing the window. If you are, don't, just draw the window.
I think you are doing a selective screen shot
open up the fan thing and select the one on the far right. That is the window pop up thing
Nope is called wrong app frozen in titanium, lol. Fixed it, works now

S-Pen pie menu no-show

Hi there. Love the phone. Small problem though - I pull the pen in and out, press the side button on the pen, but nothing - no pie menu. Any ideas of what the issue may be ?
You need to hover the pen over the screen so you can see the pointer on the screen. Then press the button and the menu will show up.

I'll add "the button on the s-pen" I had the same problem and it took me a while to figure out the button is on the pen. :laugh::laugh:
I'll also add that in s pen settings there is the following options for when you remove the pen: turn it off when you remove pen, action memo, and air command. 'Air command being the one your referring to' It could possibly be turned off

Na no luck here, flashed skynote note3 and anytime I pulled out the s pen my phone would reboot. I was really wanting to check out note3 features for my note 2 but the gods deemed it a big no.

In the op he said to disable air command in pen removal because it causes a hot boot. There's a setting in spen you did need to check and it works perfectly

I flashed the Skynote ROM and the aircommand.zip and got all the spen features. Also the eye scrolling worked in the Samsung stock browser. The hand gestures and finger hover features did not work though.
