It stopped working yesterday when I dropped the phone any tips?
Have you tried restarting the phone with the pen in it?

Not working after a drop probably means HW-failure. Connections may have broken up.
If you know anyone with a Note (doesn't matter which version, S-pens work on any Note - apart from the BT-functions), you could test whether it is your phone or your S-pen that has the defect.... (if your pen doesn't work on other working Note it is broke, if other S-pen doesn't work on your Note your Note digitizer most probably defect).
You could also test whether S-pen detection in phone is broke by going in S-pen settings and allowing use of multiple S-pens; if your S-pen then works, that detector is broken.
If S-pen is broken you are lucky, buy new online as they are not too expensive.

I dropped my phone into the sink earlier today and then got it out. The phone was still working spen and all and then a few hours later the spen stopped working on some apps like Facebook and instagram and then stopped working all together. I have checked my note 10.1 spen and it is not working on my phone either. Any suggestions?I have tried checking other forms about this and none have seem to help.
I have completely took apart the phone and put back on my old cracked lcd and digitizer and the spen still does not work. I don't know what else it could be.?????
Thank you
Well if I was you, in that case, I'll take to Samsung to fix it or something...

If your 10.1 s pen aint working id say turn your phone off and let it thoroughly dry out.. I hate to say it but unless you got a xperia z then phones and water dont mix.
GT N7105 with XDA Premium......that is all......
Finally bite the bullet and bought the 32GB LTE version. It will arrive this week.
This is technically my 1st tablet, always only use laptops and cellphones. I have a Note 2 and now a Note 3 so I thought the tablet will be similar.
I bought a Nexus 10 before but I gave it to my daughter within a month.
1. So what are the things I should check when I get the tablet to know that I have a good and not a defective one?
2. What are the recommended apps? Is it the same apps that I have on my phone? Will the purchased phone apps work on it?
3. Haven't checked in a while but is there still a problem in triggering the knox counter when we root or flash custom ROMs?
Thanks guys. I guess I'll just ask more when I get it and encounter some problems.
Some people have reported light bleeding around the edges of the display, the pen input seeming to be off a few millimeters, creaking on one side or the other and some get really warm on the back during multitasking. MIne has none of these lol. I would also connect it to a bluetooth keyboard and make sure you don't have the disconnect problem that was initially prevalent. I think it has been less common with newer units though so samsung must have caught the problem eventually. I use many similar apps between my phone and tablet. The great thing about an android tablet it that it can even sideload apps that are designed only for phones meaning you have about 1 million or so to choose from. Screw the Ipads 475,000 lol. I run gmd gesture and spen control and tasker as must haves. I would recommend getting note buddy, secure settings, and external keyboard helper pro as well. I automate mine to turn on my bluetooth and connect to my touchpad anytime my usb keyboard connects to the tablet. and removing the spen using the note buddy plugin changes pauses and unpauses gmd gesture control so It doesn't interfere with writing or drawing. Spen board switcher is also nice to set your imei to change depending on insertion or removal of the spen. stylus beta is faster and more accurate than the samsung keyboard that is based on it. I use nova since touchwiz is a pain to me and i use the 4 window multiwindow mod. Multiwindow manager xposed modules and the one to make any app multiwindow are all musts as well as penwindow manager and pen window launcher. Using gmd spen and gesture you can actually launch penwindow at any time using a simple finger or pen gesture you set up without going into air command. Basically though any android app should run.
Oh and yes knox still gets tripped but if you bought and accidental protection plan its still worth rooting in my opinion especially with cleanrom 2.0r2

What to check...
- Loose Speaker Grills
- Lightbleeding (having lightbleed is normal in LCD's just depends on the severity)
- Loose S-Pen in Silo (activate and deactive the s-pen functions due to it not sitting in the silo properly)
- Loose IR blaster
- Creaky Device
- Dead Pixels
- Screen coming apart from bezel
- Severe Battery Drain (most likely motherboard issue)
The ones listed in red don't bother trying to fix it just return it and get a new one, don't expect to find these problems as they are not common however some people have experienced them so just something to look out for.
The other ones just depend on your level of leniency.
I have a note 3 900t, I took shop they charged me 270 replace screen and digitizer and it did not work, I rooted and used custom room and still does not work. I reset 1000 times.
My spen works, there is no damage to screen, but the touchscreen does not work with fingers..
Does anyone have imput or same issue?
How many digitizers are in the note 3?

I faced the exact same problem today after I updated to Kitkat (Mobile Odin method to keep root).
Touch Screen doesn't work, s-pen works flawlessly. It was working properly earlier.
A simple restart made it work. Sorry that it isn't working for you. But looking at what happened to me, it looks like a software problem, not a hardware one.
The heart rate sensor on my phone seems to work only when it wants to. I used it 2 days ago and now no matter where I place my fiber tip over the sensor it does not light up or detect my finger....?
Anybody else have this issue? I think I'm going to ask At&t for a brand new replacement. Cause I've only had the phone for about 3 weeks and it does this all the time.
It'll probably work just fine when you take it in to have it looked out. That's how life works...
It's pretty much hit and miss with mine. For the most part S-Health sensors work just fine. I found if I just adjust my finger (if it starts complaining) that does the trick.
Don't push too hard against the sensor.
I exchanged my note 4 for different reasons, but my last model and this model are both having the same problem with the sensor...
Hey there xda,
I have a question regarding odd s pen functionality. I am here to pick your brains.
My brand new tab s4 SM-T830 came with a possibly defective pen. The pen is always on. A cm from the screen or so it displays the cursor correctly, but a bit closer the cursor disappears and the pen is immediately active. It writes without touching or any button pressing. Instead of showing the cursor till a screen touch occurs it swipes the screens or long presses buttons or, where applicable, writes. The pen basically non-stop touchlessly interacts with the screen.
I tried switching tips, no fix. I tried the pen on an older note 10.1 2014 edition, the weird behaviour is on. I tried the old note 10.1 2014 pen on the new S4 and the pen behaves correctly and as expected.
Is this a bug or a feature? Is this behaviour intended for this pen model or is it a faulty behaviour? What would you suggest as a fix?
Android 8.1.0 ARK4
The device came from a bigger chain store so it is unlikely that they'd replace the pen only and I already set up this tablet so nicely... I am interested in possible solutions other than resetting and returning it. But ultimately if need be i will do so.
Thanks for your kind answers and help in advance.

Faulty pen. The calibration distance is off. Possibly something assembled incorrectly in it. I have 4 different S-pens from different devices and they all behave the same (correctly) as the new one that came with my S4.

Thank you Note10.1Dude.
I have contacted the seller and requested further advice on the warranty procedure.

For further reference: The tablet has been returned to me in working condition. I can not see in the documentation if a new pen was supplied or if the original was serviced. The tablet was refreshed to Android 9, not something I asked for or wanted.
It has obviously been something for the warranty repair center.
Thanks for your help with this.
