[Q] S-Pen/S-Note issue

I recently noticed that the S-Pen is having a slight issue with my S-Note. I used to be able to click the button on the S-Pen to change from write mode to erase mode. I don't believe I changed anything other than rooting my phone. I'm still running stock ROM and with no custom recovery. Anyone know of a way to get this function back? I searched but all I could find were issues with the S-Pen being too sensitive or just not working. Thanks for any help.
*Update*
I recently found that if I hold the S-Pen button and double tap the screen to bring up the quick note, I can change from write to erase by clicking the button on the S-Pen but the ability to do so in the normal S-Note app still isn't working.

Maybe spen don't work man. Idk what to tell ya seems to be a problem in the pen itself

I would say that your SPen just needs to be replaced. I had a customer the other day in the sprint store I work at with a similar issue. We called samsung they are sending her another Spen.

Well I'm glad to hear in not the only one with this problem but it's still perplexing that it works on the quick note but not the s-note app itself. I will contact Samsung and inquire about a replacement. Thanks!

Curious problem with bluetooth (interference?) keyboard and mouse

Hi there guys!
This is my first thread, there seems to have been a thread on every problem I've encountered until now..
I have a motorola bluetooth keyboard
and a samsung bluetooth mouse
The keyboard works amazingly well on its own on my note 2. However when I also connect the mouse it starts to lag and type like thissssss. It's so bad it makes the keyboard unusable as you spend more time correcting what you wrote.
If this was a case of normal interference, I'd call it bad luck and leave it there.. HOWEVER - I tested them both on my macbook pro and they work as intended together. Now this puzzles me greatly as I thought they were interfering with each other's frequency, so shouldn't that be independent of the device I'm using?
Since they can work together, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with any suggestions of what's going on so I can come to some kind of solution/fix?
Thanks, looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Any chance the cpu is underclocked (power saving mode in settings)?

Unfortunately it's not

Look for external keyboard helper in app store. Set delay settings to your liking. You will to have that set as your keyboard. Be aware that samsung keyboard tries to turn on depending on what Rom you ate running. I am somewhat disappointed in the bluetooth performance on my note 2. That is about all I am disappointed about.

Thank you so much! It worked like a charm! I actually already had the app installed, it was just set to no delay by default. I'm so glad I don't have to go out and replace my mouse
What exactly was it that disappointed you about the bluetooth performance?

On some of the ROM/kernels floating around I have had TERRIBLE bluetooth performance, voice wouldn't work to dial numbers over a bluetooth connection, but would work during a phone call, couldn't connect to more than one device without restarting the phone.
However Assassin Rom with the kernel that comes stock with it, that fixes all the problems I have had with bluetooth.

Oh man, I had no idea! It's been ok for what I've used it for, up until this problem, but now its fixed I'm pretty happy with it.
I just wished bluetooth used less battery.. or if the phone powered itself by creating energy :fingers-crossed: but thats probably only going to happen in 4.3

Also, try connecting to wifi using 5ghz (if you are on wifi). I have terrible problems when using 2.4ghz wifi and bluetooth together.

This solved my problem.
There's just not enough bandwidth available for 3 simultaneous devices connected to the same device on 2.4GHz band.

The s pen features stopped working

I made this account to adrress the issue here, as ive not seen someone realy give an answer before apart from 'restart your device' or 'turn air command on'
The story s short: one day it worked, the other day i updated the tab to 4.2 and then it stopped working... i went back to 4.1 and it still didnt work, so now im stuck without being able to open the menu, nor can i use the button related features.
Ive tested my s pen on other note, and it works perfectly too, so im sure it has to do with my device.
Any help, ideas or well... anything???
Thanks in advance

There was is Air Command in Note 8.0. Air command was introduced with Note 3.0
however, if you mean the "quick command" then you press the button on pen and drag from bottom of screen towards top.
and that should bring out the panel for you.

S pen not working
I have an Note 8 N5120. I have also lost access to my pen. The pen itself works fine on my Note 2. It is possible that it was related to the latest update to version 4.2.2. I do not have any idea how to get access back. I am probably going to do a factory reset but I didn't really want to lose my level in Candy Crush . Rooting is another possibility and of course it could be the proximity sensor hardware in the device. If anyone else has run into this and then fixed it please let us know.

Do you have flashed a patched kernel or modem?

If you have problems with WiFi only and BT works well, it's driver related. WiFi fix required.
If both WiFi and BT don't operate, and you are sure all the fixes are installed, you have to unscrew all the screws under the back cover and tighten back. Sometimes it helps, sometimes not.
I'm having those problems once a week. Sometimes it's enough to turn the device off, shake it well, really well and turn on.
The WiFi/BT chip is badly developed in S3/Note 2 platform. The connector ribbon makes bad contact.

[Q] spen issues

Hey guys,
I have been having spen issues for a long time now. Stock, rooted, or different roms dont change it. When the spen is docked the screen is like super sensative around the spen dock location. Constantly vibrates when using touch screen with fingers. Pops up spen commands while docked. Shows spen is detached when its not. When I take spen out everything is fine. When I put it away and just tap the end of the spen it can trigger spen removal notification. So annoying. Whats my solution? Anyone else have this happen?

Anyone?

maybe?
I had an issue with my pen on my note 2 where the tip was permanently being pressed down, and it made my note go crazy. Maybe there is something in the pen hole that is depressing the tip down when you insert the pen?

Maybe there's a way to go in and adjust the spen settings. I know there was a way to calibrate the s pen on the note 2

I will check out the inside where the pen docks. Not sure thats the issue and I dont think its software related. I might take it down to Best Buy and try a new spen and see if mine is just faulty. Thanks

You need to adjust the potentiometer located under the button, there are videos on youtube.

Still have the same Spen issue.
Hey guys,
Now that the tablet has been put so long, anyone e else had this issue I posted a long time ago? Samsung wants $350 to fix this issue outside warranty. That is ridiculous. So I am stuck with the tablet being super sensitive to touching the side of the tablet where the spen is, while docked, and acting like it's being pulled out. Causing it to always interupt my activities and say Spen detached and pop into Recent Notes. So annoying. About ready to throw this in the trash. Please help.

I think S-pen is faulty since tablet works fine with pen removed. Did you try:
1) Using a different S-pen
2) Reinstalling stock firmware
3) Adjusting S-pen Potentiometer suggested above
4) Check out XDA post: 'Very Sensitive S-pen' by bobotski.

I tried stock firmware, not the rest. I will give those a try. Could it be something internal or more likely the spen?

I suspect that the S-pen is faulty since the tablet works fine without the S-pen.
