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.
Hi,
I made this video to demonstrate a rather serious Galaxy Note 10.1 Bug
that i've encountered on two devices, bought from two separate stores.
The first device was a Note 10.1 N8010 with Jelly Bean, the second (the
one on the video) is a Note 10.1 N8010 with Ice Cream Sandwitch.
Transcript:
Hi.
I have in front of me a brand new Galaxy Note 10.1.. its a WIFI-model
N8010. With brand new i mean i bought it a couple of hours ago--here is
the recepit.
I already bought a Galaxy Note 10.1, same type and model.. about 6
Months ago, but its touchscreen suffered from a very weird
touchscreen-bug that was somewhat difficult to reproduce. When I tried
to return the first model, the device went away for almost 3 months and
when I got it back the bug was still there.
Since I was using the device mainly for writing assignments and taking
notes (thats why i bought it in the first place) i gave it back and went
to another store to buy a new one, hoping that the first place will give
me my money back. I needed the device urgently and it was, like i said,
3 months and I had to make a decision.
Well, as it turns out, though, the new device, the one you can see here,
has the same bug.. and I'm going to demonstrate it now.
Right now, as you can see, the device is not in a sane state.. and the
display hasn't turned off since I started speaking. The 2, well, the 4
dots, here, here, here and here.. this one is shaking.. the 4 dots are
supposed to indicate touch activity but are rather ghost-dots caused by
mentioned bug. Here for example is another dot.. I can make several of
them.. I can use a couple of fingers.. and.. this dot is caused by my
hand, the other ones by said bug. I can't do anything right now.. I
can't press on any of these buttons.. I can't call the menu, I can't
switch the homescreen left or right.. I can't drag the.. this thing
here, whatever its name is.. touch input is pretty much impossible.
How do you cause this bug? It's pretty simple.. you roll the palm of
your hand over the display. I can demonstrate this.. I can already
demonstrate this on the lockscreen, doesn't matter.. now, there are 3
dots.. and again.. well, lets try that one again.. now we see 4 dots..
and I can't unlock the lockscreen with my finger. I can though do it
with my pen. Alright.. like i said, you roll the palm of your hand over
the display.. angle and corner don't matter.. current application in
the foreground don't matter either. When this state is active.. it's
going to be almost impossible, I already mentioned that, to use
touch-input.. and with almost I mean there are certain situations where
touch-input will partially work.. but in most cases it won't. Like
you've seen the pen works in this state.. and sometimes, but just
sometimes, it will reset said state. I'm not sure.. I'm still not able
to use touch properly.. yeah, i'm still not able but the pen still
works. Let's reproduce it one more time.
If you want to reset this state your only option is to turn off the
display.. there you go. This bug occurs on ICS and JB.. this device here
has ICS, thats 4.0.4 and my last device, the one that i wanted to give
back.. is running JB 4.1.2, i think. (...) This bug is a show stopper
for everyone who'd like to use this device for lots of writing.. and
it's also a trouble maker since the repair-guys have a hard time
reproducing it, even if you provide them with a comprehensive video.
Now, I hope this video will reach someone who has the necessary access..
because, i don't know, either I'm very, very lucky and get my hands on
two exceptional devices with the exact same bug or this affects the
whole batch or every such model.
I can show perhaps a couple of other apps if the device will let me..
which it won't right now.. Its probably time to use the pen. For
example S-note.. pen works.. touch doesn't.. it's the same story, it
doesn't depend on the application or lockscreen or mainscreen, whatever.
Let me repeat: In this state, when you see these dots, the display will
never dim or go to sleep.. so if you write something and you don't
realize that the device is in such a state.. and you go somewhere for a
couple of hours.. you will come back and you will see that the display
never turned itself off and that you lost lots of battery.
If you want to contact me, i provided my address below (...) thanks for
watching."

I don't know what kind of help anyone's going to be able to provide. It's either a s/w problem which if you've hard reset the device and it's still there indicates a h/w problem. There's been some strangeness on particular regional versions of s/w. For example, different S Note versions have had various problems and different versions are shipped in different regional ROMs. You said two Note's you've had have the same problem though which doesn't make sense if one was ICS and one JB which means they were manufactured at different times so not from the same batch. Are you using a case with magnets in it? Some people have reported strange display issues when the Note's near magnets which causes electromagnetic interference.
The Note's been out since August and sold in the millions and this is the first this type of issue's been reported. So, to your point, maybe there was a batch of bad displays that got out and all ended up in whatever region you live in. Or all versions of your region's s/w has some type of display driver bug. Mine (from August) has no touch issues either via the pen or capacitive touches and I enabled "show touch" in the developer's settings to test it. It's also a pretty obvious issue so if it were common others would have commented or posted also.
The latest 4.1.2 s/w for the N8010 is for the Nordic Countries and was released in March. From your accent I'm guessing you're in the EU. The Nordic ROM is multi-CSC so can be used on any EU N8010. You might want to try installing it via Odin to see if it changes anything.

The first N8010 was reset a couple of times. The second wasn't but I guess that wouldn't make much of a difference.

No, what you've seen in the video was just taken out of the box. There was nothing close or attached, just a tablet and two laptops on a table. The problem was initially reproducible in two different cities on several separate addresses.

Yes.. and that was pretty much the only reason why I was so convinced that my device was faulty and went out to get another one in order to get back to work as soon as possible. Now I have to deal with two retail stores.. trying to explain why I want a refund while looking like a shady guy who is trying to pull something.

When touches are shown, yes. Otherwise, hell no.. it took me months to figure out what was wrong. I blamed all possible things for the various gitches that were a direct result of this bug.. mostly the apps I was using. When the touch-input freezes started to occur on a daily basis I started to debug.. which isn't that productive when you're not root. In the end I stumbled over the "show touches" option and was lucky that such an option even exists.

Do you maybe know how to get in touch with samsung? Just in case the retail stores decide to give me a hard time..
I briefly experienced this issue while using my Note 10.1 in a place I don't usually use it (my brother's desk instead of my own). I was able to reproduce the issue many times by placing my palm on the screen just as in the video above.
Strangely enough, I haven't been able to reproduce the issue since that first time. I use my Note 10.1 in a number of different places (lecture halls, library, home desk, etc.), but can't seem to make it happen again.
I'm running a rooted, deodexed stock rom (4.1.2) on a NT-8013.
me too
Don't worry, you aren't crazy, I get this too.
I'm convinced its caused by pressure on the display components. My reasons are the following:
If i roll my palm across the screen relatively lightly (but still with enough pressure for the device to respond to normal touches) this never happens.
However as soon as i apply a littly more pressure I can replicate this problem every time. (To those reading thinking that I am putting an unreasonable amount of pressure on the device - I am not! I see people much more violent with their tablets day to day with no issue)
Furthermore, the more pressure I apply the longer the touches will stay after i remove my hand, suggesting that the device is kind of uncompressing.
Finally the area in which this is worst* there are some small LCD 'Mura' - that is light spots on the screen you can only see from some angles, these are normally the result of pressure.
I dont know about you guys but my note is pretty creaky, I would guess that there simply isnt enough rigidity to protect the screen components from stresses caused by pushing down on the device. (Note that i dont get this problem usually unless the device is sitting flat on its back.)
Dont get my wrong, I love my note and these issues are fortunately only an uncommon annoyance for me during typical use. But, this is kind of ****ty build quality and i will have reservations about buying another device from samsung.
*(e.g. if i roll my hand across the screen this is the most common area for a touch to 'stick')

In situations where I wasn't able to reproduce the bug (that happened every once in a while) I used a simple workaround: lock+unlock the screen and the bug was reproducible again.

What's your typical use? My typical use was writing and said bug made that very inconvenient. It basically prevented me from using touch-input after writing only a couple of lines..
Maybe a short update: I returned the second device, got my money back, and sent the first device once again to $REPAIR_GUYS, this time with a link to the video above.
I'm also thinking about buying a Note 8 if I get refund for the first device.
Bottom line: The tablet was supposed to replace all the cumbersome paper I have to deliver every week and I'm out of a working device since end of january. A huge waste of money, time, time and time.

Yeah if it wasn't for the pen I bet most people would have gone for something more sturdy/better screen/stock android.
It literally is the only device which can do annotation anywhere near properly though so Its a matter of priorities.

Typical use has been taking lecture notes for several hours a day, managed a years worth of university with it, and while its not perfect
it did save my back from having to lug around lots of books and notes.
I would guess that this issue is present on all devices, just at differing scales. Hopefully you can find one where it is at a level that doesn't
bother you, though I wouldn't blame you for giving up and avoiding Samsung from now on, must be a right pain.

I would say that if you are planning on using the note 8 for lots of writing, maybe try it in store first, its probably way too small for any prolonged period, I find the 10.1 cramped and I have relatively small hands/writing. (Not helped by the fact the pen digitizer gets weird towards the edges of the screen)
Anyways, good luck!

I never really used the whole screen for writing for various reasons:
1. the pen is not precise somewhere around the middle of the screen
2. the pen is not precise at the edges (as you mentioned)
Reason 2 is something all wacom digitizers seem to share (I remember watching a guy on youtube demonstrating the "edge-effect" on the note and two other, professional wacom devices), reason 1 I can't explain.
Anyway, I always ended up just using the upper half of the screen and that's basically the main reason why I think it wouldn't make much of a difference. But on the other hand my gut tells me that you could be right.
Right now I can't shake the feeling that the note is just some random entity in Samsung's massive brute-force output. Never mind the details or the quality, after 5 different pen-tablets the fifth iteration will be just fine. Sounds a lot like Agile SW development.. just with hardware.
Same problem, demonstrated by someone else:
Have two tablets stock and no root. I have none of the described bugs and these 2 tablets are solid and very well built. Solid as any tab that I have owned. That is a strange problem and probable a batch built on Friday about quiting time.
None of those issues could have been reproduced on my Note 10.1 (GT-N8000) from Germany. Mine was bought in October 2012.
Sorry to hear that you have gotten two faulty devices :-/

I have went through 3 of these tablets, ended returning each one to best buy. I absolutely love it for drawing and sketching....until the screens bugged up. All three of mine where the gray version, I'm tempted to pick up a white and give it a try.
Btw ...the second video posted in this thread is mine. :cyclops:

Yep, all three had the same issue.
At first I thought the screen bug was from the tablet getting too hot while sketching (SketchBook). The tablet was pretty warm, not uncomfortable to touch or anything. Possibly overheating?
While streaming Netflix, the touch dots would randomly appear and not go away. The tablet wasn't warm like before when I was sketching and it wasn't even being touched.
Still tempted to try another one, i did love it when it was working and there aren't any other android devices sporting the wacom digitizer
Update:
After almost four months, some Samsung technician/representative reluctantly decided to issue a refund. Reluctantly because, and I quote, out of 100 times he tried to reproduce the bug demonstrated in not one but two videos.. he succeeded only once.
Not really satisfying but, oh well, if they dont give a f.., I won't either.
Any updates
Hi
I bought this Note for my girlfriend as a Christmas gift. She's loaded a few apps and mainly uses it to look up stuff on the web, FaceBook and things like that. The issue is the screen starts twitcihing and types random letters and will switch pges and change settings. I did a factory reset via the reset option in the settings tab. That did not help. I will post a video tonight showing the issue. Are there any other option out there??!!
Thanks

Touchscreen fixed with better USB cord on Note 10.1 2014
I have the same issue on Note 10.1 2014 SM-P605.
I've tried changing apps, dozens of keyboard settings, device covers, screen protectors, pen input, finger input, touching the corners to recalibrate, turning the divice upside down, locking, unlocking, running different tabs in chrome...way too much time on this issue.
Finally I found the cause.
A cheap monoprice USB cable attached will produce the problem 100% of the time.
Using a heafty stock USB cable works 100% of the time.
I spent three days setting up this new tablet. And it worked flawlessly, until the last day when I moved to a new room.
Now I'm loving it again.
i have problem in touch in several flashing my touch not working anymore anyone can spare me a helping hand to solve this issue sorry for my bad
Hello, I recently dropped my tablet and now the touchscreen is completely not working. Although the touchpad on the keyboard works fine. So did I break the screen forever, or is there someway to fix this? Would love any feedback on this, Thanks!
Did the top layer of the screen crack? If so, the digitizer is most likely broken and will have to be replaced. The digitizer is pretty sensitive and the slightest crack or chip could cause all touch functionality to stop.

I think it might be somewhere around $150, which would include the labor but I am not 100% on this. I would contact support. They would be able to give you a better quote than I can.

If you're confident enough, buy one for around $55, and find a how-to guide in this forum. You can do it. Don't pay Asus $200 or any amount if you could help it on a tab that resells for about $20.00 more. Or read the petition thread, understand our predicament, sell it and buy a Samsung instead.
Good evening guys.
Today I received my Bamboo Stylus Feel specially for the Note Series in the mail today. 48 bucks including taxes, shipping. However I read the instructions carefully but I encountered an issue. The pen does not have that instant response compared to the S Pen. With the Bamboo stylus, I have to press much harder on the screen in order to get it to do something.
Am I doing something wrong? Am I missing something? If this really the way the Bamboo stylus behaves? I would love the community's help on this regard because I am ready to return this pen. It has disapointed me.
Thanks.

I have one that I bought for the 10.1, and it works flawlessly for me. Never had a problem on my Note 2 either. Haven't tried it with my Note 4, though I would assume it works the same, unless it isn't updated to take advantage of the newer screen?

Thank you guys for your responses. I will do some research in case i have to recalibrate the stylus. But like I said, it's very weird.. Because i have to press really hard on the screen to get it to do the desired action. If someone else has anything to add please contribute to this thread, otherwise I will report back here if I find any info on the Internet.

I have this pen and use it with no issues.
I don't have that pen specifically, but I do have a couple of frequency-compatible Tablet PC pens.
There are three things I've noted when using them on the Note 4:
-The calibration is off, way off, and I can't just recalibrate it like I can a tablet PC or even the tablet-size Galaxy Note products.
-Tilt sensitivity works on the tablet PC pens. Good luck taking advantage of that with the amount of cursor shift you'll have, though.
-The first 20-25% of the pressure sensitivity curve, as measured in Clover Paint settings, is effectively wasted on the stock S-Pen. The pressure value just skips from zero right into that range, then ramps up like you'd expect. None of my Tablet PC pens do this; they start from 0% at initial activation force like you'd think they would.
That last point is probably why you have to bear down so hard with the Bamboo Stylus to get it to work like it's supposed to. Too bad Samsung doesn't just give us a proper settings panel like Wacom does on a proper computer.
I am getting my own pen in the mail soon as well
I hope that things will work well
I wonder if changing ROM's would help with the Bamboo pen performance.
Hey guys!
Unfortunately, my Honor 8 battery cover broke a few weeks ago. Now I've received my replacement part.
There are a lot of dissassebly-guides around, but none of them shows how to remove this module from the battery cover.
Can anybody tell me how the fingerprint sensor is connected to the battery cover?
According to this picture it seems that it is fixed just by adhesive:

So I am not sure how easy it will be to get it out (and in again).
Any guide or ideas on that? Maybe anyone of you already had to deal with it.
Thank you.

If you are not sure yourself, better to bring it to service center.

if u r not sure , dont do it ur self , u might brick something . give to pro of service center .
Thank you for your answers.
Well, I understand your advices, but this is not the first device I repair. I have experience in fixing broken displays, ect.
Anyhow, before I start, I always want to get an insight of what to expect. For honor 8 it seems quite easy to remote or change the battery cover, the only uncertain factor is how to swap the fingerprint sensor, because I've never dealed with something like that before.
So I appreciate any information on getting the fingerprint module from one battery cover to the other. If there are high chances to brick it while removing, I would buy a replacement module beforehand just to be save.
Thanks.
