[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr.Quipster:
Have you rooted your phone?

have you installed xrecovery?

Assuming you have done both, what it seems like you want is you want the very stock of ROMs and you want it to be dependable, reliable, and user friendly?

If so then listen up.

What you want is Wolf's take on the GB firmware (2.3.3)

-its fast

-reliable

-Contains most to all the bells and whistles for everyday functions

- Almost completely stock

-Very easy installation

Go to the development and find it there. All versions should be listed. Good luck and god bless brah. Hope this helps.

Nothing done yet

I have done nothing to the phone as of yet.

No rooting, hadn't even heard of xrecovery till I got on here.

So basically I'm starting from scratch other than having the development tools and sideload wonder machine installed on my PC.

As I said, I want just the basic stuff. I'll load extra stuff after I have the OS done, but for now, nothing. I had to remove firefox because I ran out of space, and 2.11 doesn't allow for moving apps to the SD card. Can't figure out why FF ended up taking up over 300meg, and I couldn't find a way to clear it's data out either. So, hopefully it's been designed to be able to be moved, or at least have it's data stored on the SD card.

I'll check out your suggestion Mr.Quipster. Thanks

Hi guys

I am not sure if this has been posted before, i did a quick search but nothing shows up.

Sometimes If I hold the pen close enough (but without touching) the screen would annoyingly picks it up. The problem is way more apparent if I hold the phone upside down, with the screen facing downwards and holding the pen inclined at an angle. Is this a common problem?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChodTheWacko:
Wacom styluses are magnetic based, not capacitive, so technically it doesn't need to touch the screen. You can place a piece of paper over it and trace images for example.

I can't reproduce what you are seeing though. If I open s-memo, and place the stylus in contact with the screen with no pressure, it doesn't trace.

Just watched the video - holy cow, your pen is nowhere close to the note. wow. it looks like it's a good 1.5 cm or so.

Do you use your phone upside down often?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdalacu:
Faulty Pen

You have a faulty pen! Your pressure sensor from pen's tip is defective, jammed, or maybe only the white tip is physically stuck.

Everybody could reproduce this behavior by putting the pen close to screen, with memo app running, and applying pressure on pen's tip with your finger/nail.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knowsnophones:
So it's normal for the S-pen not to register if there is no pressure applied despite contact? Because that is what is happening with my s-pen. There is contact, no pressure, and it does not register. Is this how it is suppose to work?

Also, does the S-pen have a very faint click or sound when applying pressure like it is activating a pressure sensitive "something".

Thanks

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orbital247:
Same problem for me, noticed that it's usually after the first time you touch the screen with the pen, like it still thinks the pen is touching even though its not. I'll log it with Samsung too see if they give me the same 'haven't seen this before' line.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puzzlesolver:
Same problem here, appears to be worse when you first start using the pen. They should add a calibration option for the pressure to fix this, i think its now auto calibrating and that's why the problem looks worse at start.

FIXED- S Pen Problems...

Hi guys,

I had the same problem of the S Pen drawing while hovering about 15mm above the screen, I managed to fix it but it ain't easy....

It involves pulling the pen apart and there are tiny parts in there!

I am kicking myself I did not take photos, but I honestly didn't think I would get it to work again...

If anyone is still having probs, I can make up a tutorial of what you need to do.

Atleast you MAY not have to buy another S Pen.

Cheers,

Dan.

S-Pen repair tutorial- not for the faint-heated :)

OK...

Now I believe everyone that is having problems has at one time or another accidently or on purpose pulled the rear end out.

From what I have seen you CANNOT replicate this fault without that happenning.

Using a small blade prise the button from the Spen starting at the rear end.

The button will flex and pop out.

Pull the rear end off the pen (again :) ) now CAREFULLY and into a small tray if possible, turn the pen upside down and the 'bits' will come out, they are:

white nib

tiny O ring

tiny disk with nob one end and hole the other

electronics with button

What had happened on mine is that the o ring, disk and nib had pulled apart so that the disk and the wire-wound rod were always in contact so the Note always thought that the pen was in contact with the screen.

The correct order of bits is:

Nib-Disk-O Ring- Rest of electronics...

you will see the nib has a nob that will locate into the disk, the other side of the disk will hold the oring and all this sits against the wire-wound rod.

NO I AM NOT PULLING MINE APART AGAIN FOR PICS!!! :)

I put the electronics back in first and then using tweezers put the other bits back in through the button hole before carefully sliding it all back to the nib-end of the pen.

The button then pushes back in and locks.

Now, I a happy to answer questions, or if you like, and if you trust me, I am happy to have you send your pen to me here in Australia and I will repair it if i can.

Mine has been 100% since I did this...

Hope this helps!

Dan.

I agree Gaugerer, it seems though that more and more individuals are finding this problem as more and more notes are sold...

Atleast it is fixable without the exhorbitant price asked for for a replacement stylus.

Hi I am thinking of also getting a Note and thus I went to a store for trying it out since I want to use it esp. also for taling notes during my meetings.

Thus the S-Pen is one of my keys in the decision and it did disappoint me:

I tried writing some text in the S-note app and when ever I finished a word and raised the pen the line is still drawn further and thus the text was not quite readable.

Same happens when I use the handwriting field at the bottom (instead of the screen keyboard). Then due to the lines being drawn further when the pen does not touch the screen, the recognition puts together the words.

So I think the problem is facing on many devices.

Does anyone ever get a better / more in-details answer from Samsung? Or should we one by one contact their support?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeamMeUpStreaky:
Mine does the same thing but it seems to only do it after certain circumstances BUT clicking the little button on the pen (while away from the screen) stops it for me at least. Or try taking tge oen away from the screen for a few seconds. Samsung needs to tweek that.

Look for videos on YouTube by Thomypc where he uses other pens with eraser etc and also uses the pen,on other wacom devices. The Pen can work without touching the screen a per those videos even when there us paper between the Pen and screen.so might be a calibration issues.see another post here about how to open the spen to reset if needed.don't remember the links but should be easy to find.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Note-it:
I had the same problem and the S-pen was completely impossible to use for anything meaningful.

I contacted Samsung, and I got the same ''We never saw that before'' nonsens, but anyway I showed them this link and asked if they could just replace the pen. They send me a new one and it worked. BTW: remember to get the correct colour, doh :o

Still I found it pretty laggy, and most of the time the finger is much easier to use. To be honest I don't think the pen is worth it.

Those very precise drawings that are shown with the preloaded note pictures, is at least with my pen a big lie... or I need a special app perhaps...

BTW: heelerdog how did u get the end of the pen off? Could you please explain a little further?

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gazzz:
same issue here. It is incredibly annoying - the only thing i use the pen for is 'draw something' and now I look stupid because my drawings went from awesome to crap...

---------- Post added at 12:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

I seem to have fixed it.

Method:

1: Bang the S-Pen on the table a few times (not the nib, obviously)

2: Put the nib between your teeth and twist and pull the nib out firmly.

Now its working just fine. Like it used to.

I have 35 games of draw something to catch up on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thompson440:
Fixed!

Hi guys!

I too was having the same problem, phone registering pen even though it was a good couple of cm from screen, and even worse when used upside down. I tried the silver foil tape trick from youtube and this worked to some extent but wasnt perfect, but now I have a fully fixed s-pen 100% working - even upside down :-) .

I think the solution is mentioned here somewhere but ill run through it anyway.

Step 1. Hold button down quite hard, this lifts the top end of the button slightly.

Step 2. Use a pin or fingernail to lift the button out - it just clips in so be gentle so as not break the clip.

Step 3. With a bit of force you can then remove the silver tip of the pen. I used fingernails in the groove between the metal tip and the plastic bit to pry the two pieces apart.

Step 4. CAREFUL SMALL PARTS - slide the inards out of the pen - use the pin to help it along its way if necessary.

Step 5. You should now have electronics, small black bit with tiny little noggin on, a tiny white o-ring and the nib.

Step 6. Seperate the parts

Step 7. Reassembe - i did this by holding the electroncs with the nib end pointing upwards, balancing the black bit on top of this with noggin pointing up. Then carefully putting the o-ring over the noggin and finally carefully balancing the nib on top of this.

Step 8. Slide the cover over the assembly, pop in the button and re-attach the metal tip.

As i said, mine now works 100%.

No pics though, sorry, not taking it to bits again in case i do something stupid llike loose the o-ring!

Cheers

Paul
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amcl:
WOW! I can confirm that this works. Not even sure why. But taking the pen apart and reassembling it fixes the problem 100%.

Thanks to Heelerdog and thompson440 for their tutorial.

Some step by step tips:

To remove the plastic button, slide a thin but sturdy piece of paper or plastic underneath as you push firmly on the end closest to the nib. You can then easily get your fingernail in there and gently pry the button out. (Be VERY careful, you can easily warp or break the button).

The hardest part for me was to pull out the SAMSUNG labeled end-cap. Took me almost half an hour! I finally wised up and used some soft silicone tubing for gripping the pen and the cap (rubber bands will probably work too). You must pull REAL hard but be very careful at the same time because the pieces inside are really small and can get LOST.

Once the end-cap is off, just take a toothpick and push the nib, it will easily release all the internals out the other end of the pen.

You will have the nib, dark plastic spacer, white o-ring (very tiny -- I almost lost it), and electronics.

Easiest way for me to put it back together was to stack and balance the o-ring, spacer then nib on the electronic cylinder while gently sliding the pen housing down. This ensures that all the pieces are attached and in the correct order.

Wish I took pics for you guys but it was a heat-of-the-moment type deal for me.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscuitlad:
Mmm, not looking forward to that. My 3 year old just squashed the nib inside the pen by banging it on the screen :-0

It's not gone all the way in, just a little bit and it still works, but it looks a bit odd!

Same problem

also

On incoming calls the screen will not lock and not allow me to answer the call. I am unable to slide the "answer bar" across the screen, to answer calls. It won't move. This does not happen on every call but on average about 6 out of 10 calls. I went to the Verizon store and they could not make the problem occur and said they have never heard of this problem. Has anyone else had this happen. I'm trying to determine if this is a hardware problem with my phone of if it is a software problem.

what we can do , i think we should send this conversation to Samsung , i dont know how ask Samsung about this problem , if any one can send link of this conversation to Samsung may be they replay , if it is hardware problem we will go to agent , if software we can solve it online

Stylus not registering

Help! I have the opposite problem: My stylus frequently does not register with my Galaxy Note. At first, I thought it was a stylus issue, so I bought a replacement (also tried my pen from my Thinkpad tablet). The replacement had the same behavior: the stylus works after reboot for a while, then it stops. It seems to stop randomly, and then it starts working again randomly. The *only* consistent behavior I have found is that it works frequently after reboot and.. get this.. it works after I toggle my Wifi. I've been monitoring battery temp/voltage to see if there is any correlation, and also CPU speed, but I haven't noticed anything. I also tried a full reset, expecting it to work fine and the stylus had problems right from the beginning (on the device setup screen) without reinstalling any software or restoring from backup. I did have a protective screen, but I removed that and it made no difference. My phone is in otherwise good condition and hasn't been abused in any manner. Thoughts?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulF8080:
Wild guess. The two contacts on the back cover that connect the antenna in the cover to the phone may be making bad contact.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PaulF8080:
This words "take apart and reassembling" comment triggered a memory from long ago. At Univac we came out with a plated wire memory that was basically a bunch long plastic tubes laid side by side with a wire inside each tube that was plated with magnetic material. Sometimes a wire would fail and the fix was to unsolder the two ends of the wire and then move it back and forth and then resolder the wire. All this fix would do was break the wire loose from the tube because it was stuck to the tube by magnetic sticktion according to the scientists. We just called it FM(f*ing magic). The guy that whacked the pen and twisted the pen tip with his teeth :) may have been FM, too. I wonder if loosening the cap and shaking the pen like zeroing a thermometer would work.
