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?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

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 !!

REQUEST FOR INFO: S-PEN Hover Clicking?

Hi all. My programmer friend and I were wondering about editing the code to allow mouse style clicking while the S-Pen is hovering to open apps and links etc. I know that this is possible physically because when I boot into recovery and hoover and click it works. I just want it to work on my rom in either a apk or system mod.
I have viewed the S-Pen sdk http://developer.samsung.com/android/technical-docs/S-Pen-SDK-2-2-5-Tutorial
but was wondering if something already exists or can be modified such as in the build.prop etc.
Any info or app suggestions / mods would be great!
Thanks in advance! I think with would be a great feature while using the hoover scroll function in a web browser then by able to click while hoovering.
:laugh:

I found an APK and explored it in .zip viewer called spengesturepad.apk in system/app
I wonder if this is the apk that needs modifying.

This would be nice.. My question is when you hover to avoid accidently clicking something do you mean tapping the button on the side of the pen as well to get it to click while hovering.. Or is that even possible

Yea exactly. Using the button to click and open the item you are hoovering over!

I would love this. It seems possible and plausible. Never thought about it but it seems like a natural function.

Like the idea especially since my Damn pen always seems to be selecting items I don't want whenever I hover over things. Btw do any of you get their s pen tip stuck? I ask because I would write some letters and as I lift the pen to continue writing it still draws a freaken line to where I finally touch. So freaken annoying :banghead: any ideas on a fix? TIA :beer:

Unfortunately I don't have a link but yes I read some where that under the button on the s pen there is a screw/knob you can twist to make it more or less sensitive. Seems yours is to sensitive. Hopefully you didn't get a defective pen or worse device. Good luck bro.
Ps top answer your question it hasn't happened to me THAT bad before. Maybe once or twice a week if that I'll hover over some thing and it'll select it or scroll

I don't know if there is a setting to change this behavior, but spen driver is firing events for button click and hover, so it is possible to write root application that would do this. Obviously incorporating it in custom rom would be even easier.

That is good news. I wonder where to begin. I have been digging through system apps all day trying to find clues and decompiling like crazy.

+1 on this idea

I am hot on the trail. If you use s note and hoover click the pad it switches pen to eraser etc. I logcat the even and am scouring the sdk.

I would too, and Virus is a beast of a dev!!! He doesn't have a Sprint Note 2 though, so I'm not sure if he's even messing with this anymore or not. I'll ask him in the morning, as we are both on the East Coast and it's kinda late now.

Screen response

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

[Q] Spen in it's cradle keeps waking tablet

In regards to the feature (if thats what you want to call it) that as you pull the S Pen out of cradle the tablet vibrates and the screen comes on.
With the S-Pen in it's cradle the screen the tablet will virate and the screen will come on. Just carrying it (without hands or fingers anywhere near Pen) and alot of times it will do this on its own when the tablet is say, just sitting on the table by itself. Is there any way to turn this off? Or a way to make the screen ONLY come on when the power and/or home button is touched. I searched all over and can find no one mentioning this. It's driving me insane.
Any ideas.
Thanks
