Hi guys! Its my first time posting but I've been a member for a while. Anyway, to make a long story short, half of my S-Pen is stuck inside the phone. (The nib part) The other half is out. Any ideas on how to get it out? Thanks in advance!

I read it requires a piece of paper. Look it up online and you'll find it...I went and found it...http://www.sammobile.com/2015/08/29...-5s-s-pen-backwards-heres-how-you-can-fix-it/

Look up the drinking straw method too. I used that when I accidently put mine in the wrong way. Paper was too flimsy for me to get that to work. All functionality retained. Just don't pull too hard or fast.

Oh ok thanks! The S-Pen isn't in backwards. Its in the proper way but its just broken in half with half still inside. But i will try the paper and straw methods. I tried tweeezers but they were too big lol.

I was listening to music and my headphone wire got caught on a door handle. And it dragged the phone out of my pocket and the phone fell. Its crazy becuase the pen was tucked away. Btw the paper or straw method didnt work so im gonna get it repaired.

I had this same issue with mine. Back of the pen (the end with the clicking mechanism) randomly fell off the rest of the pen while it was still tucked away in the phone. Sent it to Samsung for repair and they fixed it for free and also replaced my screen for some reason. I should be getting it back today.

Really? They fix it for free? I was just about to go get it fixed at a local shop.

Yup they took out the broken pen and sent it back with a brand new pen and screen. All free including 2nd day air shipping both ways.

Has anyone else had Issues with the S pen 'making contact' when its only meant to be hovering?
I had a N7105 for a week with no issues...sent it back and picked up this N7100 yesterday. Starting noticing the issue today with a drawing app. I kept making marks when I was hovering!
Any ideas? Do I need to take it back?

I'm getting similar issues so would be great to find out if this is a common occurrence.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app
I also face same issues and its practically UNUSABLE due to this issue. I found an advise on youtube where removing the cap on the button on S pen expose a potentiometer and slightly turning the screw clockwise reduces the sensitivity of the S pen and can fix the issue. I haven't tried it yet but will certainly do in the near future and update here.
I still have the N7105 boxed and ready to be returned... could I swap the pens or do they only work with the device they are shipped with?

Stylus sensitivity
This is fixable by turning the tiny screw under the button of the stylus there's a thread about it

Cheers, I should have searched for this first.
It was suggested on this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028581
That a firm tap on a hard surface can fix the issue. Some people seem to have had success with that. I've tried it, but its too soon to say if its worked.
I don't plan on tweeking the sensitivity adjustment, because I've only had the handset for 2 days and would rather just return it as faulty.

Well thats that fixed then, a notice board pin and a bent staple later my s-pen is working perfectly!

Was it that easy? Any issues with the sensitivity after you tweeked it?

I utilize my S-pen for sketching purposes, though, somehow, the pointer seems to be off. Don't know what's wrong with it, if I need to calibrate or something else. Your opinion and guide line is helpful. Thanks in advance

Dial *#0*# and go to the wacom test, see if ur screen itslef isnt messed up.
If u wanna increase or decrease sensitivity, ur gonna have to take the clicky portion of your stylus off, the button u push to get trace effects or enter settings with. Theres potentiometers inside, turning clockwise decreases sensitivity and turning counter clockwise increases. Ive only read about it and havent done it myself, id post a link, but the info goes to another forum, a simple google search will give u more info.
Good luck and report back

You can go to a tmobile store and show them and they can maybe replace the stylus for your, just don't mention that you opened it

Wow, thanks for the info, I may have to tinker with my son once I'm brave enough.. . lol
I found a solution to my own problem, initially, I was have tough time using spen during sketches and during other apps that uses spen; The problem was my hard cover case that has magnet to close, that magnet always came behind the screen as I opened my case while sketching or using spen.... You keep the magnet away from the screen and that's it... problem solved.

I had dirt in the device since day 1, but now it's just getting really annoying seeing it. It's a little black spot on the top inside of my home button. I tried scratching it out but I couldn't, any advice on how to take it out?

Whenever I have white on my phone I can see the original home screen like the one I had when I first got it. Is it a burn in? Cause ik the icons aren't from my phone now say like when I open Google chrome I can see just slightly the home screen apps from when it was new.

If you keep your screen on full brightness then its bound to happen on any phone, use that auto brightness and you should.be good on your next phone that is... only way to remove that is a new panel

Is that normal the screen haves a tiny and I mean almost micro separation from the metal frame it seems normal but the bottom of the screen isn't like that?
I have that too.
I thought it was from dropping it or something.
I almost noticed that gunk gets stuck in between it as well.
