BT S Pen English Instructions - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all. I just bought the bt s pen but instructions are in Chinese. I think I've worked most of it out but was wondering if anyone has English manual.

If the pen works and you can answer & reject calls , what more do you need to know?

Things like- can I charge with any usb, how long will the battery last. And I can't work out how to reject calls

I don't get the point of this device. How can you write if you are talking on the pen?

there is no point to the pen, like most of these modern gadgets. do we really need tablets and ipads etc. We have them because steve jobs told us we need them, thats all. do we really need facebook and twitter. what good is it doing anyone.

Well, you can at least talk without having to carry around an aditional headset...if you wan't to make notes of the call, you're still free to pull out the original S-Pen.

Exactly!
OP (and any other owners), do you mind sharing your experience with this pen?

Thanks.

Mine's supposed to get here tomorrow. I'll post a review. It really comes down to what's more stupid looking: 1) talking to a 10.1" tablet, or 2) talking to a pen? I refuse to wear a BT headset when I'm not actually on a call and it takes to long too get it set-up and in your ear when a call's received. With the BT Pen I can put the SIM from my phone in my Note and that way I don't have to carry two devices all the time. That said I'd never consider a tablet a full-time replacement for a phone. I'm contemplating a Note II when it comes out so the BT Pen solves the problem of holding something the size of a book against my ear.

I'm hoping Samsung will release it in black soon

I was fortunate enough to find one locally for $100. Got it in 3 days which was great. Would've driven me mad waiting for it to arrive from Korea where most seem to come from.

I know this post was originated 3 months ago so this is really for anyone still interested.
Mine is in English if you still need to know anything.
Although I have to admit there isn't much to the instruction booklet.

Charge with any USB if its small enough to fit. There's a part to the USB cord (can't find the picture right now) that's if its too big won't fit past the cap which needs to be opened to charged.
Gotta look for that pic.

I ended up getting one of these and is really useful. I have found another little trick which makes this pen perfect for everyday use. If you have issues of accidentally pressing the button when writing which I do, you can unscrew the silver end and when you take it off, you will see that there is a tiny S-pen inside it. Pull the S-pen out and replace it with the button the opposite way and screw the silver end back on.
Now when you use the pen, it does not matter if you press the button, you can continue as normal. If you need the button functionality, just pull out the original one that came with the note and use as necessary.
Because of this little trick, I use this pen the most for any extensive note taking with the added benefit of answering calls when needed.

I hold mine without depressing the button so I won't be taking it apart.
When I first got it holding it was a little awkward; mainly do to it being much bigger than the supplied s-pen but I got over that awkwardness real quick. :victory:

That's cool but just to clarify to others, unscrewing the silver end does not require any modifications, the pen has been designed so that it can be unscrewed. You just have to make sure you turn it anti-clockwise when doing so and the small S-pen inside is not glued in so just drops in your hand when the silver cap is unscrewed and the pen is tilted.
There is no chance of damaging it as long as common sense is used e.g don't over tighten when screwing the silver cap back in.

How firm is your slide mechanism?

As per the title.
How firm are your slide mechanism? When holding the device in your right hand (fingertips along left edge of device), does the device give a little as you change your grip/pressure (for example, as if you're manipulating the volume keys?).
EDIT:
As an aside, those buttons would have been better off on the "base" (keyboard section edge) of the device rather than on the screen section, that way when pressing them they wouldnt have caused this slight give in the slide mechanism!! Jesus, HTC need to employ some of us from here!!

Good point, but a few guys do. Black with his AT&T one, few others etc. Just looking for some opinions. Personally, I think the spring could be a little more resistive.
I got mine today finally from Clove, lucky enough was in the first shipment have been setting it up for the last couple of hours and the keyboard is fine.
Slight Keyboard give
I would agree with you to a point, Syphon Filter.
When looking at the screen, it seems that the palm of my hand is catching the bottom right edge of the keyboard in its closed position and 'twisting' it a little when the volume is adjusted.
However, I've found that the volume buttons are in the right place when using them incall.
(The actual sliding mechanisim feels pretty solid to me.)
There's a little give, not so much a shift but more of a flex, definitely feels good for a sideways slider.

I guess it's 28 pounds delivery with DHL and 20 the old fashion way. At least when ordered from here in Finland. Didn't dare to accept the order yet.
Virtually no give in mine at all, feels solid.
Mine is solid and has been "thoroughly" used and handed around for wow factor for the past few days. It is well built and better, if I remember correctly, than the O2 XDA IIs (Blue Angel) for it's keyboard sturdiness mechanism.

Hi I'm based in the UK sorry
Appears firm to me, there's a little scraping noise as the keyboard is opened but not on close. Haven't been able to pin down where it's coming from yet.

I there's a little slidey thing that covers the ribbon cable. As you open/close that it moves. That's what is causing the noise your just described.
Fine. Another slight improvement from HTC's latest slider, in my opinion...
Totally agree with the comment about the volume buttons, too. Bit daft putting them somewhere where the act of pressing them means you're also opening up the keyboard...

Yeah they should have just moved then onto the bottom half of the slide!
So when you press your volume buttons (just enough to make them "press") does your slide move at all?
Mine does a tiny bit. if the spring was a little stiffer it would be spot on.
What about the power button when trying to remove the back?
I keep turning it back on when I want it to be switched off and remove the battery! Just something I will have to get used to no doubt!
After receiving my Fuze/Rap today, I also noticed a 1/32 inch twist when opening the phone. My only only other HTC slide experience is the 8125 which after 4 years has a more tight opening action.
I have to have faith in the Raph after all the faithful years with my other slide out.
US- Virginia Beach
it sounds like something comes loose when i slide my fuze open. then there is something that rattles around in it. i tried to return it but all the fuzes they had at the store made the same sound. unique?
Mine is a little loose as well - I wondered if anyone else had the same issue. I can (with very little effort) make the screen move about 2-3mm away from the keyboard. It does feel a lot more loose than the 8525 did to me.. I'm not sure how that will play out over the lifetime of the phone, but I can expect it to only get worse (hopefully not!)
Love the phone though in general.

Nope, but I'm not that bothered about a stylus. Should be interesting to see how sturdy it is. Don't like the look of how close the track ball is to the base, for $26 it's worth finding out though.
I know this has probably been answered elsewhere, but the dock connections on the bottom of the Nexus, are we to assume they do charging and data connection without having to have a plug go into the micro USB port?

yeah. im guessing your guess is as good as mine. but for some strange i believe that the dock that you ordered will be charging using a USB connection. but like i said ill keep my eye on this thread to see how you make out.
It appears they do that unfathomable thing of shipping free worldwide like some Chinese companies seem to be able to do. Mine's being shipped to the UK.

We can't charge and use kickstand at the same time.

So much for being able to watch things for extended periods of time. Why did they have to put the charger on the side with the kick stand out? Is this just to get us to buy the dock? And this is it for the threads I will start, I just thought that this was a horrible idea.
mods can you nuke this, there is already a discussion in another thread.
Maybe it's just my phone, but I can set the kickstand out the use the phone with the charger up.

Mine doesn't stay up like that. If I as much as blow on the phone when it's sitting like that, the kickstand folds up.
The charging port on the side is kind of silly. It's really annoying when typing on the phone while it's plugged in. When holding it in portrait mode, at least.
My kickstand isn't quite strong enough to support the weight of the phone in that position, especially with the power cord in... I guess if I drape the cord over something it kind of holds it up.

Hummmm. I may have to try that when I get back.
I saw the same issue regarding where the charge port was placed. My kick stand isn't strong enough either lol. Maybe we can wedge something there to keep it up.
I'm surprised yours isn't strong enough. Mine seems to be working pretty well. It collapsed the first time, but it does work. I just wish they would have thought this one through before placing the micro USB there. Or flipped the kickstand. My buddy has an evo and he uses his kickstand a bunch. IMO, one of the most innovative designs to come out of the mobile phone industry.

Put the kickstand out and and seat the phone STANDING UP like u would hold it in your hand to make a call, the cord will be on the bottom left side of the phone and it stands up that's what i've been doing. Hope that helps !
Yeah, but doing that makes it hard to watch in fullscreen. I would rather not do that unless I had no other choice. I think the upside down idea will work pretty well. It worked good a minute ago.
my kickstand doesn't support the phone the opposite way...it folds up before i fully let go of the phone.
Yeah that's weird because by kickstand holds my phone in portrait while charging just fine. The charging cable actually helps give it even more sturdiness because the cable kinda lays on the table acting like a brace to keep it from falling over that way.
Pretty strange design decision indeed. I encountered this at work today, trying to use the kickstand with the charger and I was like, umm, noope.
*shrug*
I bet they did it on purpose to coerce you to buy the desk dock. Lmao. And yes its annoying.

You do realize that the phone can stand vertically as well as horizontally, correct. The placement of the charger was by design.

Exactly, I'm surprised so many responses didn't pick up on that. Can't watch a movie properly in the current configuration unless you add some sort of block to the left side of the phone (while on landscape mode).
I'm not sure if this is the stupidest power plug location I've seen on a phone, but it's definitely in the top 3 (the Galaxy S phones with the plug on top are pretty stupid too, but at least they don't interfere with a kickstand designed to watch movies with).

Hey jlevy73...another Nexus S user switching away already? The Nexs S is such a sweet device, especially with CM7 on it, but it may still end up being the 2nd shortest lived phone in my ever increasing collection (the iPhone 4 getting all of a 2 week's usage before going into the backup phone pile).
The 4G/LTE of the TB along with the much better voice quality and coverage of VZW (compared to TMobile) were too tempting not to test drive the phone. I'm not sure it's a keeper for me, I'm much too much addicted to the SAMOLED displays, even though the TB has a very nice TFT one, it's not as satisfying. I'll probably keep both, and cancel my AT&T accounts. I only need 2 active phones, not 4, LOL.

What physical defects should I check before buying the Infinity?

Hi guys,
I am planning to buy the Infinity next week, but based on what I have read on xda so far, there seems to be a lot of problems with the Infinity that users need to check before making the purchase, namely light bleed, dead pixels, lagging sound on bluetooth headsets, etc... Since I am trying my best to avoid all the hassle of exchanging the tablet for another unit (because of defects), I would really appreciate if someone can tell me what I should check before bringing the Infinity home from the shop. This is going to be my first tablet, so I am not quite sure what to expect.
Many thanks!
Clicking screen and you got them all I think.
Scratches, darker spots on the aluminum.
How are you gonna check for physical defects before you buy it?
How are you going to check for ANY defects before you buy one... What are you talking about.

Well...if you don't have the tablet in hand how would you know if the tablet you don't have has any physical defect?
If one buys the tablet, takes it out of the box then looks at it then I can see checking for physical defects.
OP asked what kind of defects he should be looking for.

I guess I should be clearer, but my point is to check for defects right after I take the tablet out of the box, so that if there is anything wrong, I can ask the shop to give me another unit straight away.
Anyway, thanks guys for giving me useful information. Hopefully I can get a flawless tablet next week.
Got mine yesterday. Here's what I checked for:
Loose screen (press lightly on the 4 corners)
Light bleed
Scratches on the screen, back and keyboard dock
Dust under the screen
Haptic feedback
Volume and power buttons
MicroSD
Headphone jack
HDMI
Keyboard dock
Got a flawless tablet. Extremely happy. Good luck with your purchase.

I got screwed buying a 2nd hand phone. I need your guys help to fix it

So someone on a facebook group was selling a Galaxy S6 because it wouldnt turn on. He said it worked 1 moment and then suddenly it wouldnt charge or turn on. I figured it was just a software issue and that it might be an easy fix so I bought it for $40. I get home and no sooner than I take it out the back falls right off like the adhesive wasnt holding and the casing over the motherboard easily came off. I look at it closely and realize the battery isnt the original and someone had tampered with it to the point one of the red wires was not connected to anything and it looks like another wire is missing. Here are some pictures and im hoping some tech savy individual can help point me in the right direction on fixing this as I was hoping to surprise my wife with it since her phone is about 5 years old and showing age.

A real glass and metal phone would never be built like that or come apart so easily.
You know the saying "if it seems to good to be true, it probably is"
That phone is absolutely 100% not a Galaxy S6. Fake 100%.
It even says on the back that it was "MADE IN KOREAN BY SAMSUNG". Last time I checked, it was called Korea.

To jump in this one i got one simialr situation wouldnt work. I disaambled cleaned all contacts on flex cables. It works now but i did bust my back and i now have a cheap aftermarket back didnt look at ure pics yet im at work. These phones are highly susecptable to any kind of moisture damage. U might try cleanin the flexes. Ive help a few cases and this has worked just because knock off back dont mean nothin. Ill further this later on.

Wow i do believe this is a total knockoff. Ill post of pics of the inside here in a few completly diffrent. The battery is supposed to have a flex cable no wires. And theres loads of writing on the motherboard thats not on official samsung board. Plus it look like theres a 3 or 4 wire black plug sticking of the board. Man i hate it for you but ure probly wasting your time.
I need a cleaner pic of the mb. I do small electronics repair and might be able to help just cant see slear enough
Can't believe this is debatable... the phone is a total knock off. Sorry to hear it man what a bummer.
The motherboard in the S6 is blue (not green), the big Galaxy S6 text on the back is in wrong font, but you can get an S6 with that text on the back (certain regions), but that is as fake as they come. I mean look at the camera, its tiny! Google S6 teardown, you will see the difference. There is also no Wireless Charging contacts.
Sorry to deal the bad news mate, sucks there are people out there like this
On the bright side, it was only $40! People have been scammed for retail prices for this. I wouldn't bother fixing it either, the fake will be awful to use, worse than many low, low end phones.
