Hitting back button while writing with pen... - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

With frustrating results . .. don't suppose there is a way to disable back button while actively writing with the pen? Anyone else running into this? Would appreciate any suggestions. I have been using my script stylus beta.

Root and disable buttons. Or alternatively flip the tablet upside down.

Ugh. I feel dumb for forgetting about flipping tablet over. Thanks
chainfire's root didn't work for me. Waiting for an update.

Annoying S Note zoom bug :(

Anyone who is right handed has probably noticed the INCREDIBLY ANNOYING zoom bug you experience when writing in Snote after reaching the bottom of the page.
For some reason palm rejection goes haywire in the bottom right 1/3 of the screen if you rest your hand while writing. Everytime you put your hand down to write the screen zooms. Turning on and off pen only recognition makes no difference.
Have no idea how to fix this and am open to suggestions. Hopefully Samsung will address this in their next OTA.

Lock to s pen only at top right corner. Not much else we can do before a new firmware update. I hopefully it's jellybean

Yeah its a bug. Locking the pen has no effect. I'll go to Samsungs Facebook page and post about it. We just have to wait on new OTA.

Oh good its not just me. I didn't remember this being a problem before or after the update but then it just happened. Really upset me to say the least.

Screen flickering issue

Hey everybody...
I just got a new note & everything is excellent except that I've been noticing some weird flickering in the screen... Its not even flickering, its more like it goes dark for milliseconds & its not that frequent. Should i be conserned or its a software issue... does anyone have such an issue?

Have you got auto brightness enabled? If so try manually setting the brightness, also check your screen timeout in setting /display set it to a 1min not 15secs
Sent from my GT-N8010 using xda premium
Auto brightness is off. The same issue is happenning with my galaxy s3.

Go into Developer Options in Settings and set animations to .5x.

Tried that. Did not resolve the issue... do you experience such issue with your device?

Take it back. It may be a defect.

I dont think it is. Because on the home screen & some apps like youtube the issue is nonexistent, Strange

I have not seen this issue yet. Had mine since launch.

After some testing I found out that the screen issue is related to some apps only such as chrome & xda's app. Most other apps work just fine such as s note, photoshop, youtube, all games & the home screen shows no flickeri g whatsoever.

I have seen this, I was worried but it is very difficult to return my unit as it is a grey import.
I totally didn't notice that it went away after changing screen timeout to 1 minute. Battery life is good enough to easily cope with this.
Setting back to 15 seconds to see if it re-occurs.
fyi, I leave brightness auto.

I can confirm that the problem is solved. The whole issue is that some apps are conflicting with the hover function for the s pen. Once you disable that function in settings all becomes completly normal without any issues.

I have the similar issue on my Note 10.1 - the browser is the biggest 'flasher' and it seems random. I called Samsung support - They had me reset to factory and the issue went away, but eventually came back. I don't want to have to keep resetting to factory as that is painful for me to reconfig everything and I tend to believe that if I restore to ClockWorkMod backup, the issue will still be there.
Hi.
l had the same problem earlier. Simply deactivate the hovering S - Pen icon, and voila!

Same problem here turning off the pen hover will report back if it works cheers

It's incredible!

Best thing to happen since I was born, the S pen works with the touch buttons!
It's incredible!
Almost like the invention of milk!

Yeah I kind of thought that to after I wrote this drunk thread haha.
But really, so much better that the S pen works with the touch buttons.

I agree.... It was one of the annoyances of the note2 that made me sell it. Come back to the note 3 and the spen activating the buttons is great.

On the flip side, I really miss the ^ & < menu & back gestures from the Note II, hate having to reach down to the buttons. Wish they'd included both.

Let's hope that next year the pen works with the home button too.

Well, it works even now. You just have to press the button with the S-Pen!

I use Button Savior non root (right side, for back button), SwipePad (bottom), Switchr (right side, for fast switching to previous app) and Pie Control (left side) all at the same time. I hate pressing buttons

app to easily switch between softkey and hardkey?

Hi, I'm looking for an app that is able to enable the softkey with just a click of button and lock the capacitive button? Is there such an app? It's much like the one plus 2 which has a way to easily switch between the 2
there probably is but most likely you will need to be rooted

I'm rooted and willing to try any possible app.

Spen

Hey everyone! Absolutely love this phone. So as I'm trying to use my spen I am having a lot of issues. It doesn't write like the note 4 does. The spen will only pick up at a certain amount of pressure. Anyone else having this issue?

Having an issue with my spen too. Not sure what's going on. I remove it and air command comes up and I try clicking on it, nothing happens I have to either tap the screen multiple times or even press hard on the screen.

Reset your phone see if that works.
So I tried using someone else's s pen and it worked with no problem so something was up with my s pen. Thank God I work at best buy and someone had returned their phone. I took their s pen and I'm all set. Don't have to ship my whole phone back just for the damn spen
