[Q] Pen works but phone does not recognize it - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

You might have done something with your rom I guess.

Did you try and change the "tip" of your s-pen?

Navigation bar vanished... Please help!

I installed an app called Full screen and it worked pretty well until I disabled it. At that point, my navigation bar did not come back and it's stayed hidden since. I've rebooted a few times and reinstalled the app but nothing's making the navigation bar appear.
I'm desperate not to have to wipe the tablet and start again so can anyone please suggest anything?

Download GMD gesture control (adds in multitouch pinching gestures like on the iPad) and enjoy the fact that you no longer have that screen wasting bar across your screen. The navigation bar was the first thing I removed when I got this tablet.
Seriously?
I'm always grateful for any help offered but that's like a doctor telling you to chop your arm off after you go to him with tennis elbow.

Dirty flash your ROM and it should be fixed.

Thank you.
I'm not really sure what that is but can I restore it with a factory reset?

If you mean flashing back to stock: yes that should work.
If you mean clicking factory reset in recovery mode: probably not

Dialer numbers not showing

Meaning when I call a number and get an automated answering machine, I start entering numbers using my dial pad and the numbers don't show. I have to hide my dialer and bring it back and push some more numbers before my numbers come back. I done a couple of hard resets but problem keeps coming back. Any one else notice this out is it just me.

Phone is still messed up

I think I have figured it out it only happens with developer options on.
Sent from my SGH-I337M using Tapatalk 2
Can any one try this, cause this only happens when I turn developer options on with transition turned off. Or is this only affecting my phone?

i haven't tried that because i don't use voicemail. but if disabling something in the developer's options will do the job, then i suggest you go with it. :fingers-crossed:
I try and making the phone faster by stopping the animations., which does speed the phone up but it gives me that dial pad issue. All in all just trying to figure if this is only my phone that is affecting, if so then I can return it for a new one. If not then there is no need to return the phone.(Basically trying to figure out if my phone is broken or not)

Please for the love of God can someone confirm this for me please.

I may be missing it, but does anybody see an option that won't wake the screen when a new message comes in?

Yeah you need to have a custom room or xposed mod to get the setting back.

Dang, seriously? I guess I'm so used to rooted phones that I didn't realize that wasn't just a general setting. We need root bad.

For SMS/MMS, I installed Textra and turned off the native messaging app. Textra allows you to not wake up the screen in settings. Not exactly a fix, but I'm liking the app so far.

Not really sure. If it's in the middle then it could be crt off effect. But your phone must be rooted to do that

Try the test menu and check your display. Possibly a screen issue.

Type * #0* # (no spaces)
Then check the screen. -- possibly just a screen effect though if only when locking/unlocking.

I'am having the same problem aswell. It is really annoying. My phone is just 2 days old.
Edit: I have contacted to samsung and they toldme to bring the phone to a service center. I've been told I have a rigt to request a new phone or refund. I couldnt decide what I want to do. Because I really like this phone but there are alot of problems whit it. Apart from that screen problem. My phone freezes and restarts itself ramdomly and there is a problem with wifi connectivity
