[Q] Stylus/Pen combo - Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I have both the Note 12.2 and the Note Edge (basically Note 4.) I have been trying to find a quality stylus/ink pen combo that will work with both and have not found anything. I don't want to lose any of the functionality of the S-Pen as well. I don't think something like that exists but I figured I would check here before giving up. If anyone has a suggestion it would be appreciated. Thanks!

Not to my knowledge, no.

Is it in all types of use or only specific actions? Also be aware that the pen functionality is sensitive to magnetic fields so if you have a case on the tablet test to see if things improve without the case even if you doubt the presence of magnets inside it.
Yes, there is.

It's when I am using s-note when I am writing there is a difference between the nib place on the screen and the writing.

I tried it but still when using s-note is still the same I even tried the note 4 pen but still the same any other solution?
Ah. S Note. There's nothing you can do about that particular snail in terms of adjusting the pen, I'm afraid.
You can try wiping data and cache for S Note (Which will wipe your notes, back them up), or disabling the sync for it.
Alternatively, ditch S Note and try Lecture Notes or Papyrus.
Why did you try the Note 4 pen? The sensitivity for it lies in the sensors on the phone, not in the magnet encapsuled in the plastic pen....

Thanks for the advice papyrus is very good.
Is there anything coming to fix the snote or it's better to sell the note pro and get something else?

If you're not experiencing the issue anywhere outside S Note, then it's just the app. (I've seen a few more threads about it here.) I don't think it's actually optimized for 12.2".
The device isn't the problem, the app is. I've also heard people complain about sluggish S Note on the Note 3, Note 4 and Note 10.1"
Maybe someone else knows a fix. I just simply not use S Note.

[Q] need of assistance for samsung galaxy note 4!

Unfortunately after i installed a "wet install" screen protector on my sprint note 4, my home button is no longer working. Fingerprint scan does work just nit the buttin itself. I hear it clicking and i opened the phone and cleaned with alchohol, i think the board is shorted out. Does anyone know where i can buy/find a replacement? The model number is SPH N910BKS. Thank you.
Are you able to reach the button and Press it down?
If the protector is too thick, then you'll not even reach the Button!
The Galaxy Note 4 Is a High-End-Smartphone which mustn't break soo fast. So it's possibly no damage.
Maybe someone threw your phone down to you as a revenge (if you've got somebody that really hates you, but i hope there's no body like that.
Have a nice daý!

Note Edge or Note 4? Looking for input

Hi guys, I'm looking for input on my next phone. I've read through the edge vs note 4 threads but most are almost a year old so I'm looking for some updated info.
I currently have an S4 and have narrowed down my future options to the Edge and Note 4. I like the idea of having the edge screen but wondering if it's actually useful. Some comments in the old threads mentioned the lack of development for the Edge. Is that still true? I don't do anything crazy with my S4...It's rooted and I really like xposed and wanam. I haven't done ROMs or anything like that.
I guess my main question boils down to...can I root an Edge and have xposed? Is there anything else I should know about or take into account when evaluating the two phone options?
Thanks!
Note Edge is unique, one of a kind phone. It is the first and also the last of its own product line. Edge screen is very useful. The edge on s6 edge and s6 edge+ are gimmick. Retarded Media killed Note Edge. I'm so mad about that.
Development for Note Edge is basically dead. But i have no issue using my Note Edge without root or any modification.

But root works perfect on this device, so does exposed. If you're looking for roms the note 4 is better. But if you can live with stock TW I would choose Edge.
Sendt fra min SM-N915FY
Sounds like the Edge can do everything I would need it to. Thanks for the help, guys!
If anyone else has input, I'd love to hear it.
Almost forgot, I must emphasize that I'm talking about root on F/FY device. Other versions I don't know really. Maybe someone else does?

I have Sprint, which might be the P model.
Some things I've read say that the fingerprint scanner isn't very good/accurate on either the Edge or Note 4. What has your experience been? I don't know much about that feature but one proposed solution I read said to fill multiple fingerprint slots (there are 5?) with the same finger and that greatly improves the accuracy.

I swear a lot of people these days are retarded. I love my Note Edge and I am super pissed the Media killed it. Anyways the finger print scanner works wonders for me. I actually prefer the slide method instead of pressing and holding. It just feels faster.
I saved my right and left middle finger, and my right and left thumbs and it works perfectly. You just need a slow but steady swipe. Its perfect. Seriously i am bamboozled by how much this phone din't take off but I am happy I own one.
Even when I am walking around campus and girls see it, they are all impressed by what the Edge Screen can do. If you a power user, the Note Edge is the last true great phone made for us. I am using the T Mobile version on MetroPCS
I have 915g note edge and i am very happy with it. I have rooted it and have installed xposed alongwith the custom rom. I am on 5.1.1. The casing and covers for note edge are less as compared to note 4

Does 5.1.1 bring back the camera button on the Edge Screen or is it still on the main window as it was on 5.0.1. Also are notifications back to only being on the Edge Screen or are the still popping up?
After getting feedback from you guys as well as Note 4 owners, I decided to buy the Edge. It should be here tomorrow - I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. Is it tomorrow yet?!
After doing more reading, I will likely get: a spare TrendOn battery with charger, maybe a screen protector (possibly KlearKare), and a case or bumper. Case selection seems pretty limited. I use a Caseology (TPU?) on my S4 and like that it's not bulky, has moderate texture, and wasn't expensive. Are theresimilar options for the Edge? Depending on what's available, I've also thought about getting a case like that and then cutting out most of the back, leaving the leather back exposed while protecting the edges.
Not sure about cases. I only use my OEM Flip Cover. Its perfect. Also the phone with the cover makes it easy to kung fu grip the phone really strongly. Have yet to drop the phone

On the swipe... set it to swipe up. Much easier.

Yes SM-N915F or SM-N915FY
While I do love my edge, do be aware that compare to note 4 owners, you will be treated with unbound discrimination . Unfairly, cool case companies refused to make cases for this phone. Nobody wants to work on root for it. Gear vr doesn't fit. Glass screen protectors failed to be produced. Extended battery cases choices are very slim. You will be worst that a second class citizen. At least that's how I feel since I got this phone. Anyway, rant over.

same here. i actually have the Note 4 and the Note Edge. i loved my Note 4 with a passion but i appreciated the edge display and capabilities. it was gimmicky but it did have a use-- notifications without unlocking the phone, the marquee feel to it, and shortcuts to some other key functions of the phone right there without having to swipe and search my app drawer. the only drawback that I'm experiencing is that the battery life seemed to be killed with the 5.0.1 update, (not to mention i have the Verizon variant, so it took FOREVER just to even get THAT much.) i'm considering going back to my Note 4 just for this reason, but i'm searching the forums to see if there's any kind of resolution or suggestions for it. without root and any other major development for the phone, i'm kind of stuck. but i hope that you enjoy yours.
I found a solution to the battery problem.I downgraded back to KitKat from 5.0.1, thats after doing everything I can to solve the battery issues with Lollipop even with a fresh install of stock. I think il be staying for awhile with this. By the way i have SM-N915G
Sent from my SM-N915G using Tapatalk
Yeah Kit Kat will always be the only home for the Note Edge proper. Short of finding custom ROMS. Its depressing how the only phone to actually try something different and Do it pretty damn well will never ever get a sequel. This phone wows everyone I show to it. The positive response I've gotten from Apple users that wanted to buy it alone tells me that the public just was never given a chance to try it.
Also I wish there was a harder version of the Flip Case. I dropped my phone on concrete and it got a scratch and now that crack keeps spreading lol. Its still barely noticeable with normal use. But its noticeable when the screen is off. Pissed of at lack of support will never ever let this phone go until something more revolutionary comes out. Its just that damn good. Power use the edge screen like no other
True, i was about to trade my edge for Note 4. For battery,accessories, & more choices of custom ROMs but after being satisfied with KiTKat i think il hold on to this. I actually wanted to try Nexus 6P.I'll see in the future.Note 5 without sd card slot really turned me off its so difficult to say goodbye to the note series.

For me I can't. I have bad ADD so I need to have a phone that will allow me to jot down things on the fly. The Edge was the perferct answer. Cannot ever see myself use another phone without a stylus.
I just really really really really hope another manufacturer or Samsung themselves go back to being more revolutionary and market well to make another Edge phone with actually functionality. If they don't, I'l;l buy two more Note Edge when they get cheaper so I can have backups. Thats how much I love this phone. I use my phone like a computer, especially because I am in school
Actually, today, I got a date just by showing this girl I met at a school diner my phone. I used the phone as a social thing too. Samsung needs to start marketing their stuff better

Palm rejection from Galaxy S8

Hey guys,
since i got my S7 I often had some faulty inputs because of my palm. I checked out a S7 Edge from a friend and that device was way better at recognizing unintentional taps on the screen by my palm. The same friend just got an S8 and i also checked out the palm recognition and was pretty amazed by it because it works quite good. Is there any way to bring this to my S7 by either modifying the stock rom or installing a custom rom?
The only workaround i found on the web was using a case which I ended up doing. But in fact I would definitely prefer using it without a Case because I don't like putting a good designed phone in a plastic/tpu case.

Note 10+ - SUPER Sensitive S-Pen Issues

Hey guys,
Im not sure if anyone else has this issue or not, but on my Canadian Note 10+, The S-Pen sensitivity is wayyyy high. Like when i take out the pen, and take it near the screen i dont even touch the screen yet and its already registering touches as if i am touching the S pen on the screen ....
I tried the "touching all 4 corners to auto-calibrate" ... no go .... still same issue.
Anyone know how to fix this??

Did your phone have a software update and did you install it?
Yes after I purchased the phone and turned it on there was a software update available which I DID install
I have the same issue on the Note 10+. I had the problem on the Note 9 too but never found a solution.
