(Q) where are the extra s-pen tips? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just received my new note 10.1 (8013 US WiFi), I had thought it came with extra tips for the s-pen, but I don't see insire the box. Could it be the metal tweezers bag?

yes they are with metal tweezer in the bag

Thanks samir, I figured as much, as soon as I typed my noob question, lol
I guess you use the tweezers to pull out the tip from the s-pen and insert a new tip, huh?

How do you clean the screen edges on the Nexus S?

Hi guys, I have been getting some dust stuck in the crevice between the edge of the screen and the casing of the phone. It's quite a narrow space and I was wondering if you have any advice on how to get the dust out?
Thanks!

Get a regular white printing paper and stick it in between the edges. It works (yes, I'm not kidding!)

A thin toothpick is what I use.
The paper idea is good, but I've used an old toothbrush whenever necessary. Works well.

I do the paper idea as well LOL but I fold it first then use the folded side to run along the edges. That way the dirt gets in the pocket. X)

Thanks guys, I decided to try the printer paper method. Everything was going well until the edge of the piece of paper I was using broke off and got jammed in the space. Looks like I'll need to find the smallest needle I can get to get it out.

I take off the large plastic layer when I can't have it on my belt... stupid school. >.< When I am not in school, then I typically fully mount her up and throw both cases on. Then it's real protected and right there very accesible on your belt... if you're really have troubling with putting your phone with the base layer on then I have a simple solution... change pants. lol....

Great case. I have had mine for almost a year and when I did have a problem with the power button coming loose they sent me a replacement pretty quickly. I have an extra now. (I super glued it)
I give it a 9/10.

Lol I think he's saying that they don't allow it to be on your belt or hanging anywhere out by your waistline. It can be mistaken for a weapon.

Thanks a lot for your answer but I was hoping for something a little bit easier to do I don't have any experience doing it and I don't feel like trying on my beloved Xoom
I would be really grateful for a link to a replacement part.
Many thanks
Ive no idea if you can get replacements, maybe direct from motorola i dont know but if you find anywhere report back would be handy to know

[Q] prob dumb Q but abt pen nibs?

Ok I've been on system overload since receiving my tab a few days ago.
Can anyone tell me why there are a couple of different nib types supplied with the note 10.1?

One reason is that they are spares which some users say eventually the nib wears slightly and needs to be replaced, another reason is the different feel that you get when using the other type with the note. The choice is yours!
Actually thats a very good question! All I can tell you is that I didn't change it since I got the tablet mid of August.

When I said eventually, I read on one of the posts in xda somewhere that they changed it after a year or so. The one that comes fitted with the pen apparently has a rubber tip (little bit of grey on the tip) this may wear sooner than the plastic ones. It all depends on usage I suppose and how heavy handed you are on the screen.
Wacom includes extras with all their digital tablets so I suspect that they included the spares out of policy along with different types for the experience for the user.

There is a metal ring like device that accompanies the nibs. Small hole at the end of the metal ring. Slide the nib in the hole and grip it and pull. Reverse will switch a new one in.

[Q] replacing the bezel

just bought this phone used, but the bezel is so damaged that it's hard for me to even look at the phone.
i wonder if there's an easy way of replacing the bezel? im not sure i want to transplant the entire screen on the kit i bought, since it seems like the glass breaks easily.
Buy a case, most of the decent cases cover up the besel
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
You might be able to find some rear housing replacement for the phone but that all depends on if you want to dissect the phone as well.

Alternative like previously mentioned is get a case for it but thats entirely your choice.

I read the 1st post and thought I had posted it for a second. Exact same thing happened to me. I was not going to keep it but a case will hide it and it's a $400 phone new. My wife isn't going to let me spend that much on a phone so I decided to keep it.
Glad I did so far.

I have a bezel and assembly without the glass sitting on a shelf in my office. Had a shattered screen and the replacement is a one-piece assembly as was mentioned. I removed the glass and LCD and have a good bezel with the 'touchpad' buttons still in place. Could let it go....if you can use it. Make me an offer.:angel: PM me if you're interested and I'll send a picture.
