Hi, today I will learn you guys how to make your S-Pen touch instead of air view
If you click on top of S-Pen and but on screen from air you can control it
You can put any cap of any pen on the top of the S-Pen

This video tested on note 1 (thanks to kirtan doshi )

You are just keeping the tip pressed in all the time with that mod, no way to write like that.

I know but this for fun only

nor working when lying on bed
the button on the tip of the s pen serves as an action for the wacom digitizer on the screen of note2. pushing the side button of the s pen reverses the polarity of the s pen which then interpreted as another action by the wacom digitizer. this is all the concept i know. correct my if i'm wrong. thanks!

hello, I wanted to ask if it's normal that my pen writes in the air?
got my note 2 a week ago.

No the tip of your pen must be stuck. Try playing with it and see if it frees itself or you will have to buy a new one

Galaxy note 2's hidden feature called Air Touch...

Hi friends, I want to show you all... note 2's hidden feature we can call it Air Touch (by this feature you can use your note without touch on its screen through SPen) n hope you'll enjoy this amazing feature... n also let me know how many of you know about it... n if you like this, plz press thumbs up
I've uploaded it on youtube n
Here is the video link

hidden
not its not

Well, for some people, it's not "air touch", it's "S-pen way too sensitive" and it's a problem
(see that vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viDDKGPj2FI)
I guess you tweaked the potentiometer of your S-pen so much that it reacts without even touching the screen ?
BTW, I guess you've lost air view function by doing this, right?

Oh

I thought it was some hidden feature of note 2
I liked it very much its cool and samsung should placed one more button to activate n deactivate this air touch feature n its more fun then air view
Sent from my GT-N8000 using Tapatalk HD

Well, the possibility to activate/desactivate this feature could be a great idea indeed, but I fear it depends on the potentiometer of the S-pen. Maybe another button on the S-pen to activate this feature could be a good idea for the Note 3
Was it out of the box for you, or did you unscrew the S-pen potentiometer to get these results?
(for me, it was just the contrary, the S-pen was not sensitive enough, I had to press the screen pretty hard to get it working, I had to unscrew the potentiometer to get a smooth S-pen. I haven't tried to get results as yours and I'm not sure my S-pen could do this even if I tweak it more)

Well I dropped my SPen today
And found this feature accidentally
Its quite simple if you press your Spen tip little inside then this feature activate... for deactivation pull it little out
But its fun to use it
Now its like some high tech magic wand

Hi I hv seen new galaxy s4 video
It has a air swipe feature... where you can just swipe your palm over screen n it'll change the photos, videos
May be samsung will add this feature air touch on galaxy note 3
Sent from my GT-N8000 using Tapatalk HD

Not as convenient but you can get the same result by holding the tip of your finger over the nib of the spen.

This is a pretty old feature which I was using on my old Nokia, it was a 3rd party application that used the front camera to detect the motion of your hands over the screen and swipe photos or pages. Nothing new and certainly not a samsung innovation.

Well thats why I want Samsung should put a button that can activate n deactivate this feature when needed... so you can use both features simultaneously according to your use (air touch n air view)... because note2 has capable hardware

So you broke your spen for this to work

Looks like Samsung has a simpler solution. ..

Even easier just slightly hold your little finger on the nib and this works

Taking a Screenshot

Firstly, Mod if there is already a thread on this topic please move my post there.
I'm experiencing serious problems when trying to take a screenshot with the palm swipe. I had no problem whatsoever on my S III. I'm disabled & can't use the shortcut.
Ideas? TX

I find holding the power and the home button is more convenient for a screenshot, try that maybe?

Is there anything blocking the sensor at the top? (Screen protector, case, etc)?

No. I have a Cimco TPU case (more like a sleeve) & it's not blocking the sensor.

I just tried the palm swipe and I realized I had to press on the screen with more force than on the S3 (I've tried both). Also I think air gesture has to be toggled on (as well as palm motion obviously )

Hmm. I'm pretty darn sure air gesture is toggled too but will check again. I'll also try pressing harder.

Just remembered to respond. Air Gesture was turned off. That said, I remember taking a few screenshots just after I got the phone & AG was definitely off. I also read a bit more about this feature. Supposedly you can hold a finger ~3" over the sensor & it'll activate. Not on my phone...

It's been my experience that I have to physically touch the screen in order for the screen wipe to take a screenshot. I've also found this feature somewhat unreliable as it sometimes moves the screen and then takes a shot of a screen that I have no interest in.

How to remove spen?

I have my note 3 in a defender case and the spen seems hard to get out where the note 2 had something to grab it by like a lip.is there an easier way?

There is an indentation all the way around the Spen so you can easily pull it out. I'm not sure what the trouble is, but I can remove my Spen quite easily when I need it, and it is secured quite well when I don't.

[Q] Pen works but phone does not recognize it

N9005
My pen works on other devices but does not work on mine.
My phone alerts me when I pull the pen out but does not show up when I try using it on my screen.
The indicator doesn't show up either
This happened a just recently I have the latest firmware. The phone is not rooted.

@Bat159 what happens when you touch the screen with it?
