I think the tip of the stylus is stuck, even when the stylus is not touching the screen, it is still registered as input. When I tried it with my laptop Wacom stylus, it works fine.
has this happened to you before?
Time for a replacement stylus?

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?
I saw these both on Amazon and Ebay and decided to take a risk. It showed up today and I wanted to report my findings in case others are interested...
This is NOT a true S-Pen as it has no button and does not interact with the Wacom device at all (near as I can tell). It is just a basic capacitive stylus. But:
1. It is far less expensive at about $4 (true S-Pens are at least $15 from Korea on EBay and typically more).
2. It fits the silo well.
3. A side-by-side comparison shows it to be about .5 inch shorter than a true S-Pen.
4. It even will activate the capacitive touch buttons below the screen which the S-Pen will not. You do need to press harder/longer than you would think to get this to work.
5. Compared to the very rigid, pencil-like nib of the S-Pen, the tip of this feels pretty soft and flexible. It certainly feels different when doing some tasks - such as writing Graffiti input characters (which I do all the time). Not sure it is less accurate or bad in any way. Just feels quite different as the tip is soft and squishy and so there is a give in the setup that is not present at all in the S-Pen.
In some ways, this works better for me than the true S-Pen as its button gets pressed by accident some times. And the only thing I have ever used the button for was to trigger a screen shot capture and don't do that very often. The ability to trigger the touch buttons without having to switch from S-Pen to finger seems like an advantage but maybe not so much now that I have trained myself with the S-Pen.
Cheers!
Edit...
I need to add this. After only a couple day's use, this capacitive stylus has simply stopped working. No idea why. Have tried cleaning both screen and stylus tip. But the only response I get is after pressing way too hard and even then it is intermittent. So avoid these despite my original comments.
Another Edit...
I need to add this. This stylus is once again working just fine. I am not sure why. I did clean the screen this morning and perhaps that changed something. But as stated earlier I did that before without results. So the jury is still out on this one. I did, however, contact the seller on EBay and they are sending another unit free of charge.
I got my digitizer replaced by a technician and everything works except S-Pen. The phone still detects when the S-Pen detaches but it does not respond to taps on the screen. I've checked every setting and it worked prior to repair. Is it possible the part the technician used did not have an S-Pen (active stylus) reader?
Any tips?

Obviously wrong hardware. I think that the "inside" of S-Pen is not original Samsung. Either the tecnician or you got to look for it and replace.
Is it possible that the part did not come with the active S-Pen reader OR did the technician break it OR was the active S-Pen reader broken?
just got a note 2, was testing out the stylus. seems to be acting weird.
I use sNote to test it, and when i draw with it, without touching the screen the line would start appear on the screen.
i had a note 2 a while back, and the stylus does not work like that, i remember you have to touch the screen, like drawing on the screen then the line would appear. I remember when you hover over the screen, they should be a tiny dot on the screen, but line should not appear on the screen until the stylus touches the screen.
is there any calibration i need to do? any help would be appriciated.
thanks.

If you're using a flip cover case that has magnets in it, that can cause serious issues. Otherwise, you just might have a defective stylus.
If you pop the button off the stylus, there's a small screw in there to adjust the sensitivity which typically corrects the exact problem you're having. It worked for me.

yes, that works. thanks.
Hi,
Just a little question... I've searched on the net but I haven't found the answer to my question.
My Samsung p600 works perfect, but the s-pen doesn't work. When I take it out, I have the air view but if I click on the button on the s-pen nothing happen.
The s-pen works, because I've tried to use it with my note 4... and I've tried to use the s-pen of note 4 on my p600... nothing.
Oh, yes, I've changed the lcd block... the previous one had broken digitizer + colours problems (but with it... s-pen worked). So, my question is... which flex cable (lcd ribbon or one of the 2 on the right side qt the top.. I thought that one was the digitizer and the other the backlight) makes that the s-pen is recognised on the screen?
Thanks a lot and have a nice day!
Catherine
