Touchscreens are all the rage these days, and it seems that the stylus has become a relic of the past thanks to newer and better fingertip responsive smartphone displays. But when it comes to phablets like Samsung's Galaxy Note line, the added S-Pen is definitely helpful for more accurate and precise actions (and a less greasy screen).

Of course, there are disadvantages of using an S-Pen too, one being hardware issues. Unlike your finger, the S-Pen can malfunction and become a huge problem, not giving you that precision it once used to. So, if you're having problems with choppiness, light touches, or having to press hard for your pen to register, you can...
[Size=+2]Smack It[/size]
I am a firm believer of the "if you hit it, it shall work," theory of the mid-80s. If you hit any malfunctioning device with just the right amount of force and anger, it usually fixes the problem. That goes for the Note's and Note 2's S-Pen, as well.
Take the S-Pen, and slam it decently hard on a flat surface. It's that simple. Now if that doesn't work, you can take a*more technically and less-forceful route*to help fine tune your Samsung S-Pen...
[Size=+2]Adjust the Potentiometer[/size]
The*potentiometer*is an electro-mechanical transducer that converts the movement of your stylus into electrical resistance (or something like that). Basically it's what makes your stylus work with your screen.
And guess what?
You can*open up your S-Pen and adjust the meter yourself, no matter*what S-Pen it is.
This will work for the Samsung Galaxy Note's, Galaxy Note 2's, and Galaxy Note 10.1's S-Pen—or pretty much any other stylus with a button. This will not work on any regular conductive styluses without buttons.
You will need to take off the click button on the body of the S-Pen. You can just pop it off with a razor. And don't worry—it can be put back into place without a problem.
Once this button is off, you will have access to the potentiometer.
The potentiometer on the LEFT in the picture above and below is the one you will be adjusting.
Using a razor or small screwdriver, you can turn the potentiometer clockwise to decrease sensitivity and counter-clockwise to increase it. Test it out and see if it works to your liking, then put the button back on.
This tip could also work with a bunch of other styli with buttons, not just the Samsung branded versions, but will not work on regular conductive styli, since all that they do is simulate your fingertip.

They're becoming harder and harder to find.

Cool thanks.
and it even went down $10 lol
I asked the same exact question to Sprint and they basicly told me it's because they have too many issues with slider phones. I'm starting to think that phones with slide outs are more prone to break in many ways.

Yes they are more prone to breakage if not engineered, and built with the correct materials. Perfect examples of this were the Touch Pro, and the Touch Pro2. The TP broke the damm Flex Cable usually after only a few months of usage. Then there was also the Slider that became loose and wobbly after about a year. The TP2 corrected both of these. But not perfectly at first. The first thing they did better on the TP2 was make a way beefier Slider mechanism. Actually a stamped steel piece, vs the cheap pot metal used on the Original TP. They also laminated the Flex Cable. The one on the original was just a thin plastic film over it. But even laminated the Cable would wear. So what they did on the Final run of the TP2 was actually coat the Cables in a sort of rubber. Which made them almost unbreakable, almost. Thing is the cost was too much. On the Shift they used the same kind of stamped steel slider, very sturdy. But then used a pot metal tray ( weak ). So that is the weak point of the Slider, why it gets loose after a while. The Cable is another not so great thing. Same lame thin plastic film over it. I was actually thinking of maybe the next time I replace one. Coating it first with a Rubber laminate at the spot where it see the most wear. Because out of all the ones I've repaired it is usually the same spot. Or within a 1/4" either way.
While searching for a fix from samsung FAQ due to charging hissing, I saw this FAQ from Samsung site. This guide don't appear on some of the country's Samsung FAQ, but it shows up in International Samsung FAQ.

I tested it, and it works!
P.S., I went to my local Samsung Service Centre, they replaced my hissing charger with a new one instantly without asking any question. I'm sure they knew about this. The most interesting part is the the charger is heavier compared to the my previous one.
Do let me know if this thread is already created.
Thanks in advance,

Tried this, and it doesn't work for me. When set to Right Handed, there's a minor deviation. When set to left handed, there's a far more severe deviation.

Depends on which Hand you write with
Accidentally sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2
Nope, and the phone can't tell which hand you're using anyway. I tried both settings. Left handed has a more pronounced deviation, but there's still a deviation for both hands. And I tried that with both hands too.

Just try to draw with this two angle, and you will know the difference.
Accidentally sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2
I know how to draw lines. It deviates on both settings, it's just significantly worse when set to left handed. The position of the pen itself is irrelevant.
Yours is deviating on both too, though not as much as mine is.

Hey all
Lets take a first look at the Galaxy Note Edge. With Samsung showing off its curved displays recently, they've now applied it to a Smartphone. It's a very interesting concept, the right edge of the screen wraps around the device, giving an extra strip of screen along the edge. This can be used for a multitude of things, from Email/SMS notifications to multimedia control and some application shortcuts. Samsung is also releasing a SDK for developers, this could prove to be a very sensible move, as at present 3rd party apps will not be able to make use of the extra screen real estate. Really looking forward to what our great developers can do with this:good::highfive:
The screen is the Note Edge's stand-out feature, as under the hood is essentially a Galaxy Note 4 with a slightly reduced battery capacity (3,000 mAh rather than 3,220 mAh) due to the screen restricting space. The display itself is a 1,600 x 2,560 pixels, 524ppi affair, so puts it right up with the best displays available at present. A breakdown of specifications for both devices can be found in the [SPECS]Galaxy Note Edge and [SPECS]Galaxy Note 4 threads.
I'm very keen to get hands on with this device, the curved display really appeals. We're yet to see if it will be taken up by app developers, but if it does it could prove to be a killer feature. For some, especially if left handed, the experience may not be a great one, as the strip will be on the wrong side of the device. Samsung has addressed this by hinting it may allow the screen orientation to be flipped, so as long as the home button being at the top is workable, the problem should be solved to an extent. Looking forward to members thoughts on this possible ground breaking design:good:

Well, now as everyone has started the trend of 5.5 inch to 6 inch screen phones, we are not behind others but we are neck to neck with others infact we are leading this with our One hand UI feature .
As the trend is becoming popular with the large screens, sometimes its very difficult to manage the phone specially when you are typing with one hand while walking or if you are having a smaller palm but love the phone with larger screen. This is very well addressed by the Honor developers as they have focused on this mass of people to provide a comfort for them as well to type and use the phone with only one hand with one hand UI feature. Here you can use only one hand to type easily with smaller keayboard on smaller screen (well a virtual screen within your actual 5.5 inch screen). Please refer below screenshots to use this feature.
Go to Setting--> Smart Assistance-->One-Hand UI-->Mini Screen view-->ON
you can also shift the keypad (dialer) on dialer screen to dial a number easily.

Hi All-
I want to share my thoughts on Torras clear cases and wireless charging pad. I found the company while looking for a case for my iPhone. I've use their thin hard plastic case and silicone cases which are great. I'd like to make a request from them to make these type cases for our Note's haha... Anyway I received 3 soft tpu cases for review which I'm trying for first time. We have one all clear it's soft tpu similar to the Ringke air I've use previously. It keeps the phone slim while showing off colors.. My favorite is the blue trim case which matches great with blue phone. They also sent me a black trim which I've seen with the white and aura colors nice combo.. All cutouts are aligned perfectly and easy access to S pen. Also the camera cutout gives it nice protection. My only gripe with clear cases is fingerprints. It's better than phone naked but I find myself wiping them on many occassions. I have not found a clear case to cure my OCD with keeping it fingerprint free haha..... Screen lip is slim I would prefer a little higher while placing phone screen face down but on par with other slim cases. I've not dropped my phone but I think these are good for keeping scratches away and will survive a minor drop ..I will report back once I've used them for a longer period. So far good I've been using 3 weeks switching between them, Lastly the wireless charging pad. It has fast wireless 15W with QC 3.0 adapter and it gets the job done nicely. No issues with phone heating up. I like the bottom has a grippy ring so on my table it doesn't slide. It's well made and easy drop and charge. I also like the brick included with a solid overall package . Anyway you can check specs yourself. Thanks for your time if you've made it this far along my post. [emoji16]
