[Q] S Pen not working correctly - Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl

When I hover my S Pen over the screen of my Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition, nothing happens. Nothing comes up on the screen. Plus, when I touch the pen to the screen, Air Command does not come up - instead I get options to set for my Home Screen.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks, mandp523

Have you tried holding the pen button as you hover?

Hello, Thank you! Now it works!

[Q] using the S pen to 'touch" the screen.

so as i was messing with the phone today i found that if you hold the S-pen near the phone to show airview and you push in the pen tip, it acts as though you touched the screen. I prefer using this actually than to the actually touching of the screen, anyone know if there's gonna be a way to use the button to actually simulate touching the screen?
I've noticed it to, can be a bit annoying when it happens by mistake
noted for future reference on my Note 2

Mod to use S-Notes with phone upside down?

Hi all. New to GN2 so if this has already answered elsewhere I apologize.
When using S-Notes my wrist keeps hitting the back button on the bottom right of the of the phone and force closing the note I am working on. I wish Samsung would just program the phone to disable ALL TOUCH INPUT if the pen is close to the screen but until they do, is there a mod or a rom that will allow S-Notes to rotate 180 so I can hold the phone upside down as I write and avoid the back button?
Thanks in advance.

Keep your pen closer is all I can say. I'm the opposite opinion, on my GN2 the menu, back and even hardware home buttons DO NOT WORK when my pen tip is close to screen. It really annoys me because I'll try to back and have to take the stupid pen away to get it to work.
Same, if you can see the s pen's mini cursor on the screen, menu, home, and back buttons do not work.
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2

You can change the timeout or turn on always in settings.

S pen button quit launching air view

It launched when It is removed but when i press the button after to launch nothing happens. Sometimes It says snote quit working. But nothing pops up. Rooted, lolipop. Any ideas? Or a floating air view launcher?
Edit. I should have done more research. The new way the s pen works on lolipoop is that you click the button once while holding over the screen. On my old firmware \softwear\rom\whatever I had to hold the button down while hovering. Assuming that your s pen setting like air command and air view are on, click the button once (quickly) and release. Having the pointer on seems to help responsiveness but doesnt seem necessary.

At&t Note 4 home button not working when pressed

Hello, my At&t Note 4's home button is not working correctly. When pressed it doesn't respond. It wont wake the phone or go to home screen when pressed. Fingerprint scanner, back and multi task/recent apps buttons work fine. Phone is on 5.1.1 and completely stock with stock Touch Wiz launcher. Is there anyway that I could fix this problem? Please help. Thanks.
