Dear all,
I'm using s-pen and n5100 for around 3 months and then buy samsung case (magnetic flip cover, pink) for just 10 day ago.
I noticed that when I'm using s-note, I can't use my s-pen to select pointer option anymore (used to be normal) but my finger do it just fine.
Then I googling around for "s-pen problem" and found that there is an issue with all sort of magnetic, but it will back to normal when put the magnet away.
But in my case, it's not. the top part of the screen can't be use by s-pen amymore :crying::crying:
Is there a way to recover this? I'm on a German stock rom post by geek78.
Thanks
Here the image from Sketchbook for testing s-pen

** update **
got mine back after 16 days!!
they said the mainboard were replaced to solve this issue.
there is plenty of discussion about this all over the internet..search and you will learn...
Take your tablet out of the case and turn it off for awhile. Turn it back on and see if you still have a problem. If not, don't use cases with magnets anymore. If you do still have a problem call Samsung and have then fix it under warranty. Then stop using cases with magnets!

Thanks everyone.
I throw my case away for 3 days and it didn't back to normal state (that what I learn from googling so far, just put it out of the case and it'll be fine)
I'm now backing up and flashed the stock back in already, will go to samsung today.
I'll be update the situation when I met up with samsung official, and will post the tested pictures when I can.
maybe 10 days long apart from my beloved note :crying:

This is very disturbing. Just a couple of days ago, I decided I couldn't handle the inconvenience of the Stand Pouch anymore and took the plunge on an official Samsung Book Cover. I absolutely love it. My Note 8.0 now feels complete.
I was very anti magnetic covers, but as a few people have posted reviews on the book cover, and it's been some time with no complaints (till now)... I thought I was just being overly paranoid.
I've tested the spen digitizer thoroughly in sketchbook every day since getting this cover, and haven't noticed any problems yet.
Please let us know what Samsung have to say. Did you mention the book cover to them?
Also, I just assume it's the Official Book Cover for Galaxy Note 8.0 that you're using right?

I used a case with magnets for a few weeks but decided to change as I felt it started to effect the side of the screen ever so slightly on the edge where the magnets that held the cover shut were located.

Just tried scribbling in all the edges and corners in a new blank drawing file. Didn't notice any issues or lack of response. So I think it's fine. I only used the other case for a few weeks as it was only £5 and a stop gap while what I would use long term. The issue I started to notice a little was only at the extreme edge where the magnets that held the cover closed were located

As this is patient 0, I'm still holding out that the digitizer failure and Samsung case are unrelated. Circumstantial evidence...

Yes, my case is official Samsung case (a pink one with a white note)
Yesterday I met with Samsung rep.
After they testing with thier utility (dial *#0*#) and choose Wacom test. It shown that the top of my screen has some damage so they have to replace some part and I need to wait
I also have a senior in my office have note 8.0 with the same Samsung case (Brown note with black case), which is still fully functional. If his note last more that a month with Samsung case, maybe it's just my note that have a defected part.
Will update again when I got mine back (hopefully monday!)

To clarify my experience. I was using a very cheap case, not the official samsung one. I'm sure the samsung magnets are weaker and sheilded to minimise abverse effects. This is an assumption on my part though having not used one.
dear hertsjoatmon,
After glide to your link (another topic there) I think that the Wacom's layer is damaged (that's why only s-pen is unwritable), I'll look at part no. in the receipt and will update here.

Go search through the note 2 forums. All that the note 8.0 is, is a big note 2 with no radios 5110 at least. But believeth what you might choose, magnets plus electronics equals fail watson.

A-ha! That must be the reason why HDDs in my PC fail every few+ years - thank you Sherlock.
But seriously - custom cases are another story - but I cannot imagine nobody in Samsung would remember to check what is the long-term impact of their own case magnets on screen digitizer. At least for two reasons:
2. warranty replacements generate losses
1. they are not idiots
Its possible that it was just a defect in the tablet. I have seen plenty of videos of the nexus 7 touch screen becoming non responsive.
I read one guy went through 5 on warranty until finally figuring out it's the book cases magnets that was the issue.
I sure won't be risking magnets.
Picked up a Noreve leather snap case. There are lots of options out there.
So I was browsing for keyboard cases for my Note 10.1 the other day and found this case:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Slim-Blueto...vers_Keyboard_Folios&var=&hash=item3a844f9c90
Seems interesting because the keyboard is detachable from the case via a magnet on the back of case.
My only concern is that the magnet on the case might mess up the S-Pen. I've had a case with magnets and it indeed interfered with the Note's S-Pen.
Anyway, has anyone heard of this keyboard case?
I'm almost read to order one but the viewing angle looks a little steep?
I did not see any mention of magnets in the description, it's an aluminum case.

Hi kkretch,
The case does seem to have a large magnet on the back where the keyboard part is attached to. Which, by the way, is one of the nicest features of this case. You can either choose to use the tablet with the back cover, or attach it to the keyboard (see picture attached).
Now, I'm not sure how it will interfere with the S-Pen. But magnets and the S-Pen don't go well together.
Here's another seller selling the same item with more detailed pictures:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ultra-Thin-...vers_Keyboard_Folios&var=&hash=item3385635c0d
And as far as I can tell, the viewing angle is adjustable.
The case seems to be very well built and slim. I might take the risk and order one.
Let me know what you think.
If it is indeed a magnet holding it on I'm going to pass, but if you do get it please tell us how it is.
Did you notice the links have different prices.
Just so you guys know, the s-pen works by radio waves, so magnets should not affect it at all. Until some proof is provided, im going to assume that everyone who says they experienced it is just convincing themselves that they did.

This is not true at all. Wacom digitizers do use magnets, that's why you don't need a stylus with battery in it.
Just grab a magnet and put it near the S-Pen while writing down something and you'll see.

I have a case with some magnets attached to it hold the stand and it definitely messes up the s pen in the region of the magnets. If the case is removed, the s pen works fine. There's a lengthy thread on that in of the fora here, you should check that out if you don't believe me.
the wacom digitizer emits an electrical field which allows the spen to function without battery, it does not use RF
I experimented a little
it seems low power magnets had no effect (magnets you would find in most cases)
rare earth magnets however were able to disrupt the spen, and were able to penetrate though the back of the device and cause the spen not to work good aswell
the magnet has to be right on the device or right behind it to have any effect, as soon as it moves an inch-half an inch away it works normally again
I ordered one of those knock off samsung book cover cases which also has magnets in it, so i will see if while opened it has any effect on it

I see.. Well ive had two cases with magnets in it for several months and no problems so ill back up your claim about only rare metal magnets being strong enough.

My sister had a case with a magnet on her Note 2 and it messed up the S-Pen. Although the S-Pen did return to its original state but it took weeks before it came completely demagnetized.
that's awesome. thanks!
I just bought a note and it came with a no name case. Has magnets that keeps the lid closed. Just two small ones at each upper corner of the case. Havent noticed any interference with it.
I really like that keyboard one, especially since its detachable. Is it possibly to get one with a trackpad? ...like the transformer? Or is that custom Asus firmware allowing it to use the pad?

Own this case
I bought the case the OP was asking about. I have to say that it is a great fit for me. The magnet on the back that holds the keyboard to the case has caused no issues with my SPen. The case and keyboard are very slim and add very little bulk to the overall feel. The keyboard is aluminum which makes it feel very durable. The only con I can find about this case is that the key strokes are a little misleading. Don't get me wrong, the keyboard works perfectly and hasn't missed a keystroke yet, but since I am used to traditional keyboards, the feel of the keys as I type is throwing me off a little. Nothing that time and use won't solve. I also like that the keyboard is removable and I still have a protective case on the back of the tablet.
Overall, this is the best keyboard/case I have found for the Note 10.1 (2012) for my needs.

I will try to take some pics when I get back home. Travelling for work at the moment and do not have that case and keyboard on my Note at the moment. I switch it up with the Samsung case and cover as I don't need the keyboard as often the more I use the tablet. Try to get some pics up on Friday though when I get home.
You are correct though, when the keyboard is off, the screen is exposed. I use Invisible Shield to solve that problem.

Samsung has had a terrible launch for its S-Note line. I've had my Note 3 for over a week and still no sign of official accessories anywhere whether in-store or at Amazon.
Same for the note 10.1 2014.
If you want to charge these high prices you better provide an apple-esque experience and that means no headaches for anything including finding accessories.

I was able to get a genuine S-View cover from Verizon, but only through telesales, not online or in the store.
Is that advertised anywhere? No.
Does Samsung's official site list any covers or cases? No.
They suck so bad at accessories. It's ridiculous.
Yeah Samsung's last few product launches have been the same, no accessories until a few weeks after.

I can confirm it does wake the tablet. I don't have the smart cover, but I do have a keyboard with a "smart cover"that turns it on and off. Placing it over the screen, or even on the back, trips the magnetometer, putting the tablet to sleep. Removing it wakes it up into a quick note/dashboard type of program.
I bought a sleeve that is actually for an iPad and daynote does work. It's not working every time but every now and again I'm presented with a special screen after removing the note from its sleeve.
Best Buy tells me it will be in stock this week. Either with their Monday shipment or Thursday shipment.
We'll see. Given that their Samsung Experience employees didn't even know it was releasing the week before it did, I don't put much stock into what they say.

Before you try any magnet cases, test if the digitizer survives it. i had one on my note 8.0 and it had a big impact on the wacom digitizer, when drawing i would get close to 10mm of offset or the area around the magnet didn't work at all. When i noticed this i immediately performed a little surgery and now the case is a dumb piece of leather. Luckily i noticed it pretty quickly so i got no permanent damage. I'm not sure if permanent damage CAN be done with such a weak magnet, but look out

Wow seriously? This kind of scares me as I am using the Moko case. But you know I don't think the Note 8.0 was made to be utilized with a magnet. Seeing that the Note 10.1 2014 is made to wake up with the use of a magnet, I think they made have designed it to be magnet friendly.
I could eb wrong, because I returned my Note 8.0
Yes, you might be right but look out. You dont want a tablet thats at a higher price because of something that breaks because of you not using a correct case.
Ps. In the second sentence "you" is meant for everyone and not to offend Slim

On the Note 3, the "View" cover uses a Hall effect sensor I have read.
What I noticed about this cover is that it seems to cover the camera when it is folded over the back??

Nope, they don't really know release dates on anything. I've been asking the Samsung guy about Note 3 cases, he tells me a day, and they never come in.
Was just over at BB today, asking him if they had the cases, when another lady came up and wanted to know also. WTF, is up with Samsung and the slow releases of these accessories for both Note 3 and 10.1??

Heh! Yeah you're right!
Here's what I was thinking when I said that.
The magnet can be on either side. So not necessarily on the cover. "Could" be steel on the cover, but probably not.
Like for instance, I am putting a hall sensor on a Motorcycle presently. The magnet is in the sensor itself. The trigger wheel is steel.
So steel goes through the field and causes the trigger.
But it seems that the magnet here "should" be on the cover. Otherwise all steel would trigger the sensor and screw with the display.
I did run a magnet near my screen and couldn't get it to switch even after fooling with the S-View settings.
Does anyone know or have recently purchased a replacement S Pen? I've looked on Amazon and the only one that came across as genuine supposedly has no pressure sensitivity, and on Ebay it's the same seller. Everywhere else has either stopped selling them or they're out of stock. I have the full sized S Pen to hold me over but the offset is annoying.
I'm in the U.S. also
I got one from Ali. Works as original.

I've gone through quite a few of these third party replacents. Not one of them had pressure sensitive or replaceable nibs as the original. Contacting Samsung is a waste of time, as they prefer you to buy a new tablet when the pen dies.
Seriously, I went to an "offficial" parts website for Samaung S-PEN replacement. I couldn't even get a PART NUMBER from the site. IMHO, Samsung is leaving such sales in the hands of the very poor quality fakes selling all over.
I LIKE my Tablet. But the ONLY way I would buy another one with the S-Pen (which I love) is if the store I bought it from could prove that they could GET Spens, by sellingme a spare at the time! Samsung shuold maybe stop with the bajilion differnt models and SUPPORT the one time great products that they used to have.
Still want a working/not fake pen. ;-Deano
I feel your pain I caved in and bought a knock off on Amazon. It has pressure sensitivity but the nib is plastic and I feel like I'm scraping the screen everytime I write. It's the best we can get though :crying:

But I don't understand WHY Samsung actually REFUSES to let retail stores to carry them? They really seem to be pushing their owners support right out the door. It's not as if were so impossible to conceive of anybody losing a pen..
Who's writing THIS business plan...Trump? ;-Deano
I had the same problem. Tried to order an OEM from CompSource but turned out they were out of stock. Went for a knockoff. Its not bad, but its not good either. Sad that my Note is still very usable but the lack of a decent replacement stylus may force me to find something else.
If you like to use pressure sensitive s pen, you can purchase an s pen of note 3, note 4 or note 5 but of course they are not attachable to device because of their shape.
I lucked out and found the Wacom Bamboo Feel on eBay. Not cheap, but very sweet. AND it was made for this tablet!! ;-DeanoD
i did a quick search on 2 sites in uk handtec and hyper-direct and both have what appear to be original pens for the p600 and tabpro. There is no mention of pressure sensitivity but they are only £8.00 so i may pick one up to see. Since i also have the note 3 i can use that pen in a pinch but it might not be a bad idea to have a spare anyway.
I just did a Google Search and found a bunch of knock-offs, but eight genuine ones for the Note 10.1(2014) were there as well. The real McCoy isn't cheap, costing anywhere from $29 to $16. The reason Samsung doesn't market them is inventory. It costs them too much to have pens for a long out of production tablet laying around.
It looks like genuine replacement S-pens for the Note 2014 can be ordered from here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New...alaxy-Note-10-1-2014-Edition/32601677612.html
Not expensive, either, just $7.14.
Also, replacement S-pens are available on Amazon, in Canada and the USA.
Ebay is where I purchased mine - sealed bag - correct length of pen and replacement tips - which my original pen did not have. Very pleased. Cant post a link not enough posts. Seller was tech-24-2.
I also got the samsung Spen with Erasure from another dealer - used with a further 5 tips - that with my note4 means I have 15 spare tips - yipee a lifetime worth.
Apologies if I have missed the grand tab S3 case thread but haven't found one. I've just splashed out in an S3 and need a case for it. Sadly origami doesn't make one for the S3. So what do people use?
Hi
Please note that if you use any case that has auto wake feature (magnets) you will get problems using the S pen, unresponsive areas on the screen,
I have not found any third party case yet that works perfectly with the S pen
it would be very easy to think the tablet has a fault with the display, when the problem is the case, if you find a good usable case, could you report back,
the only case with no problem is the official Samsung case, but this gives very little corner protection and is very expensive, then there is the Samsung keyboard case, but this has no cut out for camera, so that's also not an option for me

I have the keyboard case from Samsung. Works just fine with the S Pen. I sometimes detatch the keyboard and lay the tablet flat on the cover, and no problems with S Pen.
However this case does not have auto wake and lock feature when closing the lid. But it has instead this feature if you connect or disconnect the keyboard. So they did not forget this feature. =)
Sure no back camera, but who takes pic with tablets? Front camera more important for video chatting...

Have you been to any tourist spot lately, he said sarcastically...
It always baffles me when you see tourists photographing with their tablets.

Hi
Please note that if you use any case that has auto wake feature (magnets) you will get problems using the S pen, unresponsive areas on the screen,
I have not found any third party case yet that works perfectly with the S pen
it would be very easy to think the tablet has a fault with the display, when the problem is the case, if you find a good usable case, could you report back,
the only case with no problem is the official Samsung case, but this gives very little corner protection and is very expensive, then there is the Samsung keyboard case, but this has no cut out for camera, so that's also not an option for me

I thought I responded to this but perhaps not.
The Samsung keyboard case I have has the cutout for the back camera.
What issues have you had with the S-Pen and magnets? I have another case I use 70% of the time that has magnets and have no issues with the S-Pen.

I have. See recent thread re "ZERO-magnet" cases.
