I'm thinking about buying the Note but I can't find an answer to this.
Can you use touch and the pen at the same time?
For example, if I touch the screen and hold a button in an app. Can I then draw a line on the screen while still pressing my finger down?
Doesn't really work because Samsung has built in palm rejection so if the pen is really close to or touching the screen it disables touch from your fingers.

I have had my XDA II for two months and since my last synch I find I am now tapping with the stylus in vain on my screen to enter the system. The screen is in perfect condiition but now does not respond. When I pressed the record or camera buttons on the side the programs load but I can't select anything because the screen does not respond to any stylus taps.
I did a hard reset and now I can't get past the first screen that says please tap here to continue.
Has anybody experienced this problem and can they suggest a way forward for me to get it resolved ASAP as a I am going to Spain tomorrow with an XDA II which is not responding to stylus taps.
Sounds like a hardware fault if you have tried a hard reset.
no response
I now know what the problem was.
I put on a new screen protector. And for some reason the XDA cannot sense any taps on the screen from the stylus.
I removed the screen protector and it works fine.
However the XDA did work with the last screen protector that I put on, so I do not know why it doesn´t with the new ones.

I have been using screen protectors from various manufaturers, each time I had to re-calibrate the screen (for that reason) but has never come across situation as described above

Tapping problem
hello mate
The reason for your stylus not to work with the screen protector is because you have the edge of the protector toching the sides od the xda.....make sure you have a very small gap between them.
:lol:
You didnt mention the screen protector in your first post, I had the same with a protector on an ipaq that was slightly oversize and touched the very edges, no taps worked either until I removed the protector.
Hi guys,
Im coming from a Galaxy note. Ive noticed that S-Pen on Note 10.1 requires some pressing to register an input either it is navigating through the UI or writing. It wasn't like that in Note. I have also noticed that scrolling, if done with s-Pen, is quite laggy and it stutters.
Has anyone else been experiencing the same?
Nope, no issues here. Could maybe be a screen protector issue or pressing the button before the pen is close enough to the screen to register. Turn on the hover for the pen in your settings to make sure the pen is close enough.

I have not applied any screen protector yet.
Hover is already turned on.
The point is that scrolling and navigating the UI is not smooth if done with S-Pen. It has to be pressed quite hard. In case of finger, even a slight touch gets registered. At least that's how I feel.
Just try scrolling / navigating with S-Pen using the slightest of pressure possible.
Another thing! You cant quite flick the screen for scrolling with s-pen like you can with your finger which is bcoz of the same issue i.e., s-Pen requiring extra pressure.

Although I have no issues with scrolling with pen and it just takes a medium to light touch, I prefer to hold the pen in hand and use the little finger to flick to scroll. It feels more natural that way and is probably less wear and tear on the screen.
Try replacing your tip with the completely white one. That might help.

What is the difference between black and white tips

Yeah I would like to know that too.

Replaced the black one with the white and situation is really somewhat better. White one is the same as the one I had on my N7000. Black one is more of a sticky nature; i couldn't write fastly with it and scrolling was laggier too. Now it is quite ok.
Thanks!
Any calibration available on the touch cover keyboard?
I want to use even lighter pressure to type. I am often missing the "spacebar".
Me too. As far as I know only the touchpad is configurable. (search the store for 'touch cover' if you haven't seen this app)
I feel like I am pounding on the keys for it to recognize them.
It actually requires extremely low pressure, less than most real keyboards. It feels different because nothing moves under your finger to let you know you've reached the required amount of pressure, but after typing on the touch cover for a while, going back to a physical keyboard feels like going from a keyboard back to a mechanical typewriter...
If you feel like you're having to press really hard for your typing to be recognized, either you're doing something wrong or the cover is defective. Make sure you can hear the Surface when typing (headphones help here in a noisy room); the audio feedback when you hit a key makes it clear how little is actually required for the Surface to recognize a keypress.
That said, the common problem is that the keys have to be hit somewhat precisely. No amount of pressure when your finger is just on the edge of a key will produce the result you want. Also, I find the positioning of the spacebar (more to the left than I'm used to on a laptop keyboard) to be annoying, although I'm getting used to it.
I also have noticed it being on hard surface is a much better typing experience than it being on your lap or similar.
I want ability to increase sensitivity to space bar. That's the only thin that doesn't work well when typing from lap.
I just splurged and went and purchased the type cover from Best Buy since they are now in stock and I love it! Wish I would have never gotten the touch cover. Loved it's thinness and its other purpose of being a cover but I just couldn't type fast like I thought I would be able to. I can type sooo much faster on the touch screen itself over the touch cover. On that note I have a black touch cover for sale. Lol

I guess the only downside on the Type Cover is when you fold it back and hold the surface the keyboard button gives you a weird feeling.
The Touch Cover is also spill-proof (Type Cover is not), easy to clean (Type Cover, like all keyboards, will probably get a bit gross over time), and 3mm thick (Type Cover is 5mm). That said, yes, if you need serious typing power, the Type Cover is the way to go... but be prepared to trade some of the advantages for it.
I'm at a little over 30 WPM on the Touch Cover. That's better than half of what I get on my desktop, but I'd still much rather write a long mail or a program on a real keyboard (although muscle memory with the meta keys works surprisingly well on the Touch Cover).
Does your phone's touch screen (only capacitive) responds to your fingernails?
Test it with your phone and reply here lets see how much phone responds to fingernails.
My nexus s responds to fingernails I tried my best not to touch the skin with digitizer.

On previous S phones, there was an option to turn on sensitive screen. In my s7, there is no such option but it seems like it's turned on. It registers touch even if I don't touch screen (from 1-2 millimeters away). It's so annoying.
Plus, it registers my nails as touch, s6 wasn't like this.
Anyone find this annoying as well?
I'm rooted, maybe there is a way to adjust it.. Please let me know if so.

I'm having the same issue. If I put the phone in my pocket with the screen on it registers touches from the fabric of my pocket. I've never had a phone register touches to that extreme. Screen is very sensitive. I keep hitting the back button also which is really easy to fix and pisses me off Samsung hasn't done it yet.
It took a few days for me to get use to the extra sensitivity vs Nexus5x. Keep using it and you won't notice after few days.
I have the regular s7 and the sensitivity is driving me nuts too. I keep bursting photos since the camera thinks I'm still pressing down when I lift my finger up. Using the phone in general makes the phone have a seizure. I hold the phone with my left hand and scroll with my right, but I can't grip the phone without the fleshy palm bit under my thumb and my fingertips touching the screen since the bezel is so thin. This makes the phone go crazy since so many parts are being touched at the same time. If I change the way I hold my phone in any way, I know I will drop the phone, especially since my hands are small.
I'm waiting for a case to be shipped to me, so hopefully that will help stop my fingertips and palms from touching the screen during general use.
Still, this is a problem.
I too have noticed that the sensitivity of the capacitive buttons (mainly the back button) is waaayyyyyy too high. I'm finding that when my thumb isn't even touching it, but just hovering over it, that it activates the back button. Also, when scrolling through pages, I've noticed ghost button presses of the back button.
The only thing I agree with here in touching the screen while gripping it.
None of the other stuff at all. Not even a tiny bit.
If you can press buttons and control the screen without touching it you are part way through your padawan training.

Capacitive buttons are OK, only screen sensitivity is too high for me. Strange.
