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 )

Part of the screen not responding to s pen

Got the note 2 a week ago and just noticed the s pen is not working on part of the screen while I was playing with it in s note. Very strange. Any thoughts?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

part of the screen is lower right of screen, like a 3 mm triangle? then it's normal.

I searched online and the problem is identified. Its the magnitic flip case that distorted the area directly above it. Is this going to have a long term damage to the s pen function?

Thank you that I saw your post and isolated the problem. yes it was the magnetic buttons that was causing the screen to behave improperly at one particular location. I have removed the magnets and now its ok.
Thanks again !!

How much battery Air View consumes?

Hey guys, I was wondering if this feature drains the battery significantly or not? Did a search but didn't really get any results, can anyone comment here?
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

I don't think it actually use any extra battery due to the way the S-Pen works. The s-pen is detected above the screen whether or not you have air view on or off.
You can test it for yourself by holding the s-pen above the screen close enough for air view to work and clicking the nub on the pen in with your nail, it's all to do with electromagnetism as far as I know.

Thanks for reply because Im wondering tis q asa..

You can even use your phone without touching it. Just put your finger over the tip of spen, and go close to your screen...

Bad Pen input

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.

Worst case scenario: broken s-pen digitizer. Best case scenario: software bug.
Did it always behave this way? Have you tried using different s-pens?

No it was fine since 2 weeks back it started like this. I tried other s-pen its working perfect and this s pen in that cell...messes up that too. But if its broken how did it happen? My cell never fell...so as s pen.

I spilled coffee on my note 3 and the phone didn't seem to break, but I just noticed that my s pen doesn't work at all. Any ideas on how to trouble shoot this? It doesn't even recognize that I remove it from the phone.

Check if the nib of the pen (the small white part at the end) can be pushed inside. If it can't be pushed, pull it out gently. There should always be some play in the nib to allow for pressure variations. Had the same problem. Worked like a charm for me.
