[Q] Problem with standard stylus pen

the screen is not responding well to a standard stylus pen, when the pen works perfectly on other devices like the iPhone galaxy tab etc...
does anyone have a problem like this?

Spen with eraser and Note 2

I am having a problem with my Note 2 in general but in particular when in use the Spen that comes with the eraser. When u try to write about a quarter inch from the same left border the ink doesn't register. If I draw a horizontal like across the page I will get the first Harter in then it skips for about quarter in before resuming again.
I thought that is was just a dead area but when I change angles on the pen or use more pressure the line draws solid.
I tried a couple different tips but no difference. It is slightly better with the Note 2 Spen.
Ideas?

I have a similar problem. My Spen with eraser will only write in the middle of the screen, and eratically even there. The stock Spen works 100%.
Moreover, the Spen with eraser works fine on other Note 2s.
I called Samsung about it, and they eventually gave me an rma number for the phone, but I am not sure if I'm going to send it in. No guarantee the replacement will be any better.
Btw, this is all after trying the porentiometer adjustment.

It must be a Sprint Note 2 thing.
My Spen eraser does the same thing.
I ended up getting the Spen kit for the Note1 and it works great. It also feels much more like a real pen for me.

I found this thread doing a search, I usually hang over on the VZW part of this forum. I also have been having the same troubles with the spen with eraser. I changed tips and that made things even worse. Question for those using the spen kit for note 1, does the stock spen for the note 2 fit in the barrel of the pen holder in the kit?
I looked at the tips of the stock spen and the spen with eraser and they are shaped differently. My spen with eraser will work if I hold the spen completely vertical to the screen, but how often can I do that? I am usually in a hurry to jot something down and do not have time to put it on a level surface and hold the pen vertical.

Same issue I have had

Weird S-Pen

I don't use my S-Pen too often, but since yesterday it becomes too sensitive it start to draw before I touch the screen.
I tried my spare (purchased separately) S-Pen and do exactly the same behavior.
Any clues?
My note 2 is Un-Rooted.
No changes, no drops, same LCD protector, no magnets.
I trird

Got the same issue and resolved it by hitting several times the stylus on a surface that won't damage it like a pillow or your hand if you can bear it. Hit firmly but apply reasonable strenght though. Repeat until issue is gone. To clean the stylus may help too.

It can be your tip of the pen that's stucked...

It's very common. you'll need to adjust the potentiomenter on the pen. See here

That worked, but seems I'll need a new S pen, this one now is all time as eraser

Click on the pen button? Or press the same pen button while on float

I believe you can adjust the sensitivity of the pen by removing the button on the s pen and adjusting the screw underneath.

Help. Is there any other method to activate air commands than pressing the S-Pen?

So I have bought and modded a brand new stylus for the Note 10.1 2014. I put it into Bic pen casing. It is called Round M Stic, the S-Pen fits really nice inside of it. However, now i don't have the access to the button on the stylus. Is there any other way to access the air command (the circle with 5 shortcuts) than pressing the damn button? I am waiting for your answers. Hopefully, someone knows a way how to overcome the issue.

Not unless you enjoy replacing screens

Nope. It uses a different digitizer than the Note 20

Did you watch any videos why there is a new pen in the first place...

No hack, you can't use other pens unless you want to damage the screen.

No only use the fold s pen or s pen pro with the fold switch.
This is to not damage the screen.
You will dig into the protector with a normal spen
