This! That's the tool you use to remove the nib(tip of the S-Pen) so you can change it once/if it becomes worn. In that same bag you'll find the replacement nibs as well. Between launch of the Note 3 and the Note 4, I only changed my Note 3's once. Even though I use mine daily, I don't draw or write too much with mine, and I know some people do. So I'd imagine you'll need to change it more often than myself if you use your S-Pen a LOT.

Thanks alot

he's right you know
Yes. What he said
There are soft tips and hard tips
Just pull one out with the tweezers and push in a new tip

You can use Wacom styli with GN2

Just a heads up, I've tested three Wacom Styli with my Sprint Galaxy Note 2 and each one works perfect. In fact the digitizer in the galaxy note has built in functionality for the eraser and 2 button stylus that Wacom uses on the Intuos2 tablets. You can find these on websites usually cheaper then the Samsung ones. All my tests have shown the other styli to be very accurate
Note that I've only tested a Wacom Intuos 2 and Lenovo Thinkpad X series with built in Wacom stylus, I don't have any 3rd party models to test.
Love the use of common technologies. :good::good:

THIS NOTE 2 IS SENT FROM A GALAXY WHERE SAMSUNG SPRINTS TO THE TOP, AND JELLY BEANS EAT APPLES!!!!
I have a Wacom on my desk... never would have thought to try it. Thanks for the heads up.

You do realize Samsung makes the processor in the iPhone right? So does that mean I can run android apps natively?
Just because they are the OEM doesn't mean they engineer it to be cross compatible.

The S-Pen on mine Note 2 doesnt seem to "click" in place. It seemed a bit loose to me at first, but I tried my hubbies N2, and it was the same looseness/feeling.
It isn't 'loose' by any means and it wouldnt fall out by itself. Just slides in and out easily.

Yeh thats what I think too not really loose just smooth without the click feeling my old note had.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
I actually have a question about its tip. The end tip looks like a little loose in mine so when it touches the screen the tip gets into the pen. I am not sure it is defective. Please check yours to see if the tip is firm and not moving in and out. Thanks.

Yup, my T-Mobile note 2 has the same stylus tip, kinda loose. everyone says that's how is designed.

The tip going in and out is how the pen can detect the level of pen pressure you place onto the screen. It's the same design as a wacom drawing tablet (which is where Samsung went and got their digitizer technology from).
Is this pen's fit will become loose if you use it too much? I am kinda afraid to use alot.

s-pen tough to take out

Anyone else noticing that the s pen is hard to take out? it doesn't slide out smoothly as with the note 2. Wondering if I have defected unit or something...
Nope. I think in trying to make it more secure they were a little overzealous. I think a spring loaded latch would have been a better option.

I will agree with the above posts and say that the GN3's pen does require some effort to get out.. I even went over that in my initial impressions and/or unboxing videos for this phone.

Pen input pressure

Does your guys pen require more pressure to operate compared to the note 2? On my note 2 I barely had to touch the screen, but the note 3's pen requires much harder pressure before it starts working. I even tested the note 2's pen on the N3's screen and it worked just fine. So it's gotta be the pen. Does anyone else have this experience or is my pen defective?

Mine has this problem too. It was normal when I first got it, but now it requires more pressure to work. I think its normal, so I'm not going to bother exchanging it.
There's an option in settings to increase the sensitivity, see if that helps.

Try replacing the tip. The bag that comes with the device has two types of replacements. Clear and rubberized. Change be tip to a clear one. Worked for me!
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe on the Note 2 you could adjust the sensitivity on the pen itself somehow. I never needed to adjust anything so I'm not sure. I assume the note 3 would be the same way.
Edit: Yeah here's the thread on how to do it.

Please fix the link. I'd like to read it too. When I'm writing with the pen its fine, but if I'm doing something casually like playing Bloon TD 5, I find myself wanting a bit more sensitivity.

New to note 2...s pen help

I just got a used note 2 and from who I got it from he said that the screen was broke and he had replaced it but whenever I try to use the s pen certain areas of the screen the stylus won't write on. Its either not accurate or scribbles to the left or right of where I'm writing at. Since I'm new to the s pen and the note 2 touchscreen I figured I would get on here and ask to see what it could be. I'm thinking maybe the digitizer but I didn't know if its built into the screen replacement or if its built into the the actual LCD panel. Any help or comments are appreciated.

It may be the spen itself.....my first note 2 the spen wasn't working properly either.....search Google for "note 2 spen calibration" there is a button on the pen and under it is two little screw like things that calibrate the pen....If that doesn't work then maybe new spen or might have to get a new phone...sorry

I tried the recalibrating and resetting solutions and it didnt work. I also bought a new s pen and still didnt work and when i tried to recalibrate it there wasnt anything to change like my first one. it just looked like a small circuit board with a button on it and thats all. Im guessing its a problem with the digitizer itself but since it works just fine with my finger ill leave it be for a while. just a shame i cant use the s pen for more precise doodling lol

In your opinion would it be worth switching out the screen & digitizer for a new one? Or just keep using it like this until the screen breaks or whatever.

Same here...I've done a little research and I'm not quite sure which part I need. I see a sensor board replacement that's pretty cheap, a glass/digitizer replacement that's also pretty cheap or all that plus a LCD panel that's crazy expensive. So I guess my question is would u just replace the glass/ digitizer or sensor board or both since my LCD panel seems to be in perfect condition. I don't really wanna tear more into my phone than what I have to ya know?
