[Q] [S-Pen]App Threes! not working with S Pen - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
i bought the game "Threes!" yesterday and it works fine when i use my finger to play but if i try to use the S Pen the Game does not recognize any input, it's like the S Pen digitizer is turned off.
Is there any way to fix this (besides hoping that the developer will fix it). Or does anyone know what the Problem might be, so that i could give the developer some hints as to what he has to change.
It just seems strange because this is the first app i encountered that does not work with the s pen.
edit: just tested if the gestures still work and they do so the digitizer seems to be on

Some games don't support S pen

Do you know why they dont support it?
I havent looked into Android programming and note 2 programming but it seems to me that you dont have to implement s pen support, if you would have to i think a whole lot more apps wouldnt support it.

Sensitive G-Senor (How to fix?)

Hi Guys,
I am currently using a Cell Pro Rom and I find that my it keeps flipping to landscape too often when I have my phone in portrait.
I always have to give it a shake to fix itself and it does get a bit annoying.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
(I remember I may have (not certain) that I might have changed the Sensor registry when I first got it, but I am not certain, does anyone know the default measurements?)
Any ideas are welcomed.
Many thanks in advance!
Did you ask in the Cell Pro ROM thread? Seems a more logical place to ask. I tried that one out and did not have the issue you are describing. Good ROM too.
There is a G-Sensor Calibration in Settings- System.

I'm fearing the fact that I may have changed something in the registery as I got all excited the day i got the phone and went through the tweaks in the wiki.
I am not certain if I made any changes regarding the g sensor so I was wondering if anyone knows the defaults or if there is a .cab or ROM to flash to system restore.
Any clues?
Many thanks in advance
To me the g-sensor is a gimmick. I find it annoying and totally useless so I've turned mine off altogether. If I want the screen to rotate I push the keyboard out. I really don't see any use for it.
I did think the only use I had for it was the face down hands free thing but have since decided that I'd be quite happy to push a button for that. Hardly a hassle.

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Motion Sensor and Gyroscope not working

hi i just recently bought a galaxy note 2 phablet, im very happy with it every thing works perfectly fine, however i did come across a slight problem which is bugging me alot, as i loaded the phone up it shows you all the tutorials and stuff, for panning and zooming in using motion control.... i did not realise the problem before as i was really happy to just get the phone after so long, My motion sensor and gyroscope functions are not working
i have tried everything from factory reset to restarting , taking the battery out and putting it back in, has anyone stumbled upon this problem, and is there a solution to this problem, whether this is a software glitch/problem or a hardware issue. if anyone can help me please and thanks in advance

hi thank you for the quick reply, i had a look at what you asked me to do and i did manage to find all the settings, however it looks to me everything is working apart from the light sensor one, all the other settings came up as a PASS apart from the light sensor which came as level 0, which i dont know what that means, while i was on the sensor screen i swiped my hand across the sensor and the screen shifted colour from white to yellow, which is a good indication that it is working , however i went back on the operating system and tried the palm swipe and it did not work, niether did the quick glance, and the pan to zoom features are not working either, i did test the gyrocope settings and it came out as a PASS too, could you explain maybe why this may be happening and what does the level 0 on the light sensor option means, please and thank you , i really do appreciate it.
Lavel 0 says to all phones I have tried including mine. As long as the LUX changes it is working.
Now for your primary problem try to recalibrate gyroscope.
Do it by going settings-motion-advanced settings-gyroscope calibration.
If that does not help try clearing cache in recovery.
If that does not help then backup and try reflashing your rom.

Hello in response to your issues with the motion sensor. Have you installed a screen protector on your note 2? i noticed that after installing the screen protector on my Note 2 some of the motion actions did not work properly. So if you do have one on remove it and see if that corrects the issue. :good:
Useful help.
This was a very Useful thread, thanks. I've done the tests and came up vitha a fail when i tried my motion sensor. Is it likely to be broken? I'm going to reset to factory settings and pull of my screenprotector and se what happens before i do anything else. Is there anyone out there who has replaced the motion sensor? Is it soldered to the main board? Hard to replace?
Thanks beforehand. Tommie.
i thnk my sensor is nt wrkin... when i do the test, d color is alredy green nd isnt changin nd is vibratin continuosly?? is it broken or somthng lyk dat??

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Motion Sensor and Gyroscope not working
hi my samsung note 2 was working well for last 2 years bur recenrtly its motion sensor has stopped working.
i have checked all settings, it isnt working at all..
gyroscope and motionsensor tests are fail on checking. please help me, what to do?
I have had the exact same issue. The only way to fix it is to get the whole motherboard replaced. I went into Samsung store and they said that. Issue here is that it costs £145 to replace the main board. The sensors are on the main board itself and that is why it costs a lot to fix. I've been using my Note 2 with no gyroscope for a few months now, going to buy a new phone. Rather buy a brand new phone than get it fixed
just loosen the screw nearest to the microsd card. motion sensor is under it. it work on my phone.

Yeahhh!!!
You are a Hero! I tried nearly everythink since January 2016! I took the screw out, shut down my phone, put it into download mode and pull the battery out.
Im not shure if a restart would do it alone, i did all to be shure. And it now works again. My srew was magnetized! Maybe that was the reason or the chip has
a loosen contact.
Up to now it works great! I thought my sensor was dead.

Galaxy Note 2 Acclerometer Issue

Hi, I have had my note 2 for a while now and a problem has always been bugging me, whenever I play a game which relies on the accelerometer, the character just moves way to the left and to compensate I have to turn my phone right which is incredible annoying, however I am unsure whether I had this problem when I got the phone, I did drop the phone once so that may have caused it, if it is a hardware issue, can it be fixed through software? I don't mind rooting my phone , I've heard installing cyanogenmod works because it has a g-sensor calibration setting which allows you to calibrate the accelerometer, will this work? I just don't want to install it and calibrate it to see it not work. Thank you and sorry for this huge paragraph, any help is much appreciated.

I believe some games that use accelerometer have their own built in accelerometer calibrator that you can use before starting to play the game.
What game is it?

It happens on all games which uses the accelerometer for example highway rider, temple run, doodle jump etc, so I am looking for a way to universally calibrate the accelerometer, do you know how I can do that or is it simply not possible if it is a hardware issue? Thanks

screen far too sensitive?

New member here, first post.
I had my g4 several weeks ago (uk version). Great phone, however recently the screen seems far too sensitive. Sometimes apps or other features are activating on their own without me pressing on them.
I looked in the settings but havent found a way to resolve this. Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Just to clarify a bit more about my issue.
Its like the "floating touch" some phones have, where i can be an inch or two away from the screen but it still activates. More rarely, it seems as if it was activating by sensing light or movement. Strange. Is the g4 supposed to have this type of function?

That sounds like a problem. The G4 is actually known for lacking sensitivity and yours is doing the opposite. enable this settings to see if it is actually detecting ghost touches.
Settings, About Phone, Software Info and tap on 'Buidld number' 7 times. Then go back to settings and tap Developer options, enable 'Show Touches'
if the dots show without your intervention, then it's likely due to faulty touchscreen.
Anyways, do a factory reset and see if it helped.

Thank you. I will give that a try,
As it happens intermittently, i cant say how quick i will find out if that is the solution, but you have been helpful.

I remember seeing a sensitivity setting somewhere..

Does reset solve the issue? , happening on mine right now. Appreciate your feedback. Thanks
Same here, on Imperium and Stock rom, I have the phone since 6 months and it is a really random issue... my bootloader is unlock so I don't know if I can send it to warranty.
For information I have enable the touch "tracing" in developper menu, and when the issue occurred it's getting me perfect vertical line from bottom to top screen, and open a lot of apps..

And from the sound of it... Yours pretty much ****ed, at least to my knowledge. Hardware screwed and no warranty. Just bought mine like 3 weeks ago, and hated it so much. So much hyped, but the experienced is so far ****ty at best.
I suspect mine hardware issue. This seems like it's gonna be the first, and the last LG for me. Even mine with warranty still intact. Blackberry used to give this feeling long ago with their ****ty storm. Now, LG and blackberry can share that same ****ed up grave.
As madgibbon indicates, I was on Accessibility / Motricity / Response time (my phone is in french so i'm not sure if it will be exactly like that on yours) and I have set to "Long".
Since that, the issue is no longer appear, I have also switch to rom V20F (Turkey) with still the same setting for accessibility, and I don't have the issue anymore.
I don't know if it is a hardware issue, my phone falls maybe 4 times but with a case and from a little height, no broken glass or something else.
This is all the things I tried before that ;
Using flipcover (QI charge and quick circle), I have tested the "normal" case but same issue
I had a glass protection, I have removed it and cleaned my screen, same issue
I have done lot of hard reset (i'm kind of full wipe addict), same issue
Only the solution of madgibbon works fortunately, thanks mate
I'm also a bit disappointed by this phone, it is great sure I mean fluid, great camera etc... but I have some little issue that ruin the experience unfortunately (this issue with touchscreen, i'm experiencing issue with my Chromecast too that i don't have with other phones, some heating, I don't find the battery usage so good since MM, can't relock bootloader since now). I don't blame LG because i'm using some of their products and I'm / was really satisfied with : Optimus 2x, Nexus 5, TV, Monitor, Sound Bar. Anyway, waiting for 2016's Nexus and I will see if I switch or not.

Screen problem after all, just picked my phone up from the place that I bought for under warranty fix, and they told me they did replace for a new screen, and all is looking fine and dandy for now. Hope it stay this way, finger crossed. 3 weeks purchased and already this problem. I doubt this thing will last.

Question S-PEN issue

S-PEN has taken on a life of it's own ! No longer works as before now it does not select items it just scrolls the whole display when hovering over the screen. Using finger device operates normally but S-PEN no longer operates like it did. Does not select items or open links just scrolls the display. Anyone know how to fix this issue please ?
Can you borrow another S Pen to test? Let's hope it's not a phone issue.
no......I don't know anyone else with one.....does the S-PEN need charging some how....?

The S Pen Pro is BT, and requires charging. The Fold edition doesn't. The way it works is like magic.
