[Q] S-Pen issues - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Everyone,
I just bought a brand new galaxy note 10.1 in India and i had high expectations from this tablet.
One of the prime reasons i decided on this was the s-pen.
After a day of use i noticed that the s-pen is not recognizing my hand motions on the screen at 2 points.
Has anyone faced this kind of issue with 10.1 till now?
Looking forward to your replies.
Thanks

Yeah the same has started to happen on.mine. Only some aps though, like lecture notes.
Directly under the camera for about 1/4 of the width of the screen the pen does not get recognized.

Yes i also observed the same position.Just below the front camera.
I also observed that the particular area gets a little hot if I am using wifi. Probably because the
antenna might be below that area.So i am thinking if this could be bcoz of magnetic fiedelity.
Request other users to please check for erratic s-pen tracking around the same position.
Samsung needs to fix this if its a design flaw as the s-pen is the key selling point for this tablet.
Thanks

Soft Spot under left speaker?

Hey all.
Just picked up my Galaxy Note 10.1 today and am loving it. Only complaint is a... soft spot near the left speaker that clicks at the lightest touch... anyone else notice that? I don't think its anything to worry about at the moment but I am still curious.
Thanks!

Some unit's seem to have some gluing issues and light bleed. Watch a movie in a dark room letterbox and make sure you aren't getting light leakage from the edges onto the screen. A tiny bit is normal but should not be much.
Sent from my awesome Note 10.1
So I just exchanged the tablet with the soft spot... but I think this one might have a bad speaker... when I "click" on something for the first time in awhile (about 5 seconds) there is a "snap" in the droplet sound or any sound for the first time... after the first tone the sounds go back to normal until another few seconds of rest. I think this is more of an issue than anything else so far.... how sad. Another trip to BestBuy....

Touchinput Crashing

Hi guys,
I'm recently experiencing some random issues with the touch input. Sometimes, when I'm inking in sketchbook or SNote the tablet won't recognize my fingers anymore, only the pen, It's almost like the whole touch digitizer crashes. A reboot solves the problem...
Is anyone else having the same problem?

I wish this were a feature and not a bug. Sketchbook doesnt like disabling the capacitive layer while youre using the pen. I'm actually having the opposite problem, it wont pick up palm rejection at all, so unless i enable the pen cursor, so i can see when the wacom digitizer is engaged and put my hand on the screen after, i get artifacts from palm to pen.... ugh....

SBP doesn't have palm rejection. It's Autodesk's issue, not Samsung's.
Same problem, but opposite
I am getting the same problem in S-note but only a small patch tends to stop being detected by the s-pen. I am going to try a hard reset and see if it helps.I really hope it's not a hardware issue.
Turns out it was the magent on my case interfering the wacom digitizer. See if that my be the problem.

Funny, I had this issue too on my phone and it was due to the magnet on my case. Can this cause permanent damage? I kinda wanna keep using the case until a better one comes around and it only affects the wacom digitizer.

With your finger rhat is supposed to happen. Normal capacitive touchscreens aren't as accurate. The S-Pen is using different tech and is not communocating with your normal touchscreen. The pen should be pixel accurate.

That. Doesn't. Help. How hard is it.
I actually went back to the store and the show model and a new model which he got fresh out of the box for me all had the same issue. The Note 10.1 is a poorly made tablet. The pen should be pixel accurate, which it isn't. I actually got an ipad mini instead as Apple offers the best normal capacitive touchscreens on the market.
Hello my friends and welcome to samsung.
Here is how "well" the disgitisers of my note 10.1 N8000, grey, italian with 16GB + 3G, work.
FINGERTOUCH DIGITISER:
S-PEN DIGITISER:
I noticed the issue of the s-pen digitiser first, and just like you, went back to the store to check if the other notes they had there had the same issue. Result: all had the same issue. All in the same screen position. Knowing that the s-pen digitiser is very sensitive to electromagnetic field, and after watching this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUyI74c0DhE&feature=youtube_gdata_player I came to the conclusion that the issue is due to poor screening of the s-pen digitiser. In fact I bet that what we see is the field distortion caused by the electrical current flowing along the vertical battery wires running underneath the screen in that position. That's why the issue appears identical, at identical position on all the notes, because it is an hardware issue due to how badly this tablet was engineered.
The other issue, the one of the fingertouch digitiser, I have discovered it today, after having noticed that scrolling in my tablet was not uniform if i was sliding my finger slowly on the screen, and after having asked myself why so often I was missing to hit the virtual keys on the websites, even though I could swear to have tapped precisely in that position. Well... it appears that our nice friends at samsung equipped our beloved tablet with a digitiser with a ridicoluos resolution of around 40 x 25... (!!!!!!!) This means that we can forget forever precision touch input and smooth scrolling.
I was quite happy of this tablet when i bought it. Now I feel so pissed off that I would like to throw this piece of **** out of the window.
Another thing I noticed is that the Galaxy tab 2 10.1 of my friend does not have the fingertouch digitiser issue. Looks like in order to earn even more money than usual, samsung have introduced this feature into us starting from the latest, very acclaimed note 10.1....
wow....
kind regards, Luca.

now try that but slower and you'll see the squiggles
that's true!!!!! it's like if there's a magnetic interference along a diagonalline in the center of the screen, going from top-left to bottom-right
but only if you draw slowly on that points
Well, yes but not exactly. The inteference is vertical, and as I said, I bet my bullocks it's caused by the battery wires.
The resulting effect is just like when you put a paper sheet over a coin, and you scratch over it with a pen (never done it when you were a child?). As you know, you get the image of the coin underneath.
The "scratches" here are the oblique lines that we draw slowly, and the "coin" is the field distortion caused by the electrical current in one of the wires (of which there are four, but for one reason or another, one must cause more interference than the others).
This being a magnetic induction interference, it affects only the s-pen digitiser.
The issue of the capacitive, fingertouch digitiser (or whatever its name is, sorry but I am not native english), I guess is simply due to the fact that it has a very small resolution, due to samsung deliberately wanting to piss us off

So you're saying a fix would be to take apart the note and apply a better shielding to the battery and wires

Why would I do that if I want a straight line? Pen on paper it's the same, if you go slow enough you will not go straight...
I'm not arguing with anyone, you may be right regarding the interference, but I don't think this device was made to replace a dedicated pro digitizer.
And I did get the general impression that on other tablets the touch is a little more accurate than this one, just to be clear, I'm not saying that is the perfect tablet because I've got one lol. A used 3 tf700 for a week and the screen resolution and touch responsivnes are great, but otherwise is a P.O.S.
I think this note is a decent enough gadget for the price.

It also might not be the display itself. I got my S-Pen wet and when it dried it started to behave erratically. Sometimes it would work perfectly and other times it would be off from the position I had it placed on the screen. It was random. Replacing the pen fixed it.
Don't have this issue with pen or finger using Lecture Notes on Korean made GT-8013 bought from Amazon.

S Pen Calibration?

Hi,
I've found on my Note 10.1 that the accuracy of the S-Pen gets worse near the edges of the display. At the very edges it's off by about 1 mm or slightly more. I can't say it's really caused any problems but I'm wondering if this is normal and if there's any method to better calibrate it?
I've been having the same issue, or at least I noticed it recently...
Does anyone know anything about this problem?
This has been bothering me a lot lately, especially since i use my Note for note taking. Bump in case someone knows the solution.

Here's the response from Samsung support:
Thank you for contacting Samsung Customer Care.
We understand that while using the S pen near edges it looses accuracy.
We are sorry to hear that.
Please try replacing the S pen tip to isolate and fix the issue.
It is not possible to calibrate the digitizer.
Thank you for contacting Samsung.
Kind regards,
Steve

I''''ve found the S-Pen (as viewed by enabling the hovering pointer) loses accuracy the closer to the edge of the screen the pen is used. At the edges it is off by at least 1 mm. About 1 cm in from the edges the accuracy is good.
Is this a defect in my unit or are they all like this? is there any way to recalibrate the digitizer to improve accuracy?

I tried changing the tip with both types of tips supplied with the tablet and as expected it had no effect. Note, also, how utterly useless Samsung email support is. The only way to reply is through a link which sends you to a contact form to submit a new email from scratch. There's no incident number or any way to establish continuity.
In any case, I happened to be at a Microsoft store yesterday and played a bit with Samsung's ACTIV (sp?) pro Windows 8 tablet which has the same s-pen as the Note 10.1. What I noticed immediately is it behaves exactly like my tablet: the digitizer loses accuracy both when tilting the pen and especially when the pen is near the edges of the display. The amount of inaccuracy is just about the same too, about 1 mm near the edge.
So I suspect this may be a limitation of the technology or at least the technology as it's being used by Samsung (I'm surprised Wacom's stuff is not more accurate). I'd be particularly interested if anyone is NOT seeing this.
It also seems silly that the display cannot be recalibrated or the driver does not support remapping. This seems like something that should be pretty easy to implement.
On the positive side, I can't say that I've experienced any real accuracy problems when in actual use. Probably I don't tend to write so close to the edge where it might be an issue. It's more an annoyance that the cursor doesn't quite match the tip. It's actually less annoying than having my hand trigger s-note's zoom or the notification drawer every time I try to write something.
Too bad, samsung support is horrible. For me this problem is pretty annoying since I tend to write until the VERY edge (just like I do in real paper), so I guess I'll have to change my habits lol.
P.S: It's good to know that is not my faulty tablet, but something "normal" in wacom devices...

Yes, it is annoying. I wonder if there's any dev we can convince to write a remapping layer to fix this issue.

Mine just works fine, even on the ledges! Sometimes, but sometimes when the accelerometer is uncalibrated the S-Pen just stop responding well. I calibrate the accelerometer using this game https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fgol.HungrySharkEvolution Just go on Options/Change to tilt control(If necessary)/Calibrate

Thanks for trying to help .... the slight offset near the edges is no problem for me but i had a relatively bigger offset near the top (near the cameras) but that appeared to be due to the magnetic part in the book cover i had what an idiot .. i thought the camera had magnetic parts that do this and forgot the magnet of my book cover
So now what i really have is the offset near the edges
For me it's not an overall offset issue but just near the edges where it makes taking notes, sketching particularly difficult. It's very frustrating that these tablets aren't better calibrated out of box and provide no option for calibration. I'd be very surprised if this couldn't be fixed through software but would probably require support through the driver.
The other issue I have is that the drawing point only visually aligns with the tip of the pen when the pen is 90 degree from the tablet and you're looking straight down at it. Provided you hold the pen at a relatively steep angle and you angle the tablet so you're looking mostly down at it (say on your knee or a tilted stand) it's not bad. But once you deviate from that, say by putting the tablet flat on a table in front of you so you're looking at down at around 30 degrees, the deviation from where the tip appear to be and where the drawing point is becomes significant. I find this very frustrating. While I still prefer the s-pen to a passive capacitive pen, the fact I can't draw where I think I'm drawing makes it hard to work with. I've been using the tablet as my primary note taking device but I'm getting frustrated enough that I may go back to pen and paper and scanning.
It's probably not possible to fix this issue without hardware changes. Although multiple calibration profiles might reduce the effect.
I guess I'll have to wait for better hardware before I can finally live a paperless life...

That was it for me. The case was causing that. When I read your post I realized that my case has a keyboard and you can remove it. It stays in place with a magnet. So I removed it and it works as expected. so now I know to get it on the edges it's that. Thanks:good:

[APP] Weather Station

I don't think so. People like to know the weather so why not get the weather exactly where the phone is? It's also useful for hiking, etc. The challenges are compensating for the internal heat produced by the phone.

Temp sensors on the phone itself Is cool because one, it’s more accurate than using a general location by setting it with a city and state and two you don’t have to leave your location / gps on as some people do with their weather apps.
Actually, I think the barometer is the best new sensor. The temperature one will be useless if you keep the phone in a pocket, but the barometer will be cool especially while flying as it would not be too difficult to turn it into a altimeter. (It would have to be manually calibrated to take cabin pressure into account, but that is usually a fixed ratio, like 6:1 or 8:1).
GN2 has a barometer already

Actually, you can, but not directly through the built-in sensors. However google for tellstick / Telldus Live, buy a couple of wireless switches and sensors and use the app Remotestick (plus a number of smart Tasker-rules) to control almost anything at home that can be controlled by wall outlets...

Of course I put it on my new N3, and it's working perfectly. However they must have a different calibration, as the humidity can be out by up to 8% across devices. The temp is fine, or i should say within tolerable limits of measurement difference.
Does this app need root?
Another question I have:
Did someone measure how accurate the readings given by the N3 (or S4) are, compared to a real Thermometer or Hygrometer?
Thanks.

After putting an ambient temperature/humidity sensor in the Galaxy S4, Samsung has decided to put one into the Note 3 as well. I wonder how this app I developed functions on the Note 3 compared to the S4, especially with the faux leather cover and larger screen, etc:
Weather Station

Going to give it a try now. Thanks, it looks good, much better than the app I was using.
