Anyone know of a site that's selling 3rd party 'S-Pens'?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PeartFan40:
Yep, amazon.com has them for.$30. If you do a google search, you should be able to find a few places selling them.

The tip on mine has started to come a little loose. Anyone else have this problem?

Swyped from my Galaxy Note using Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Flash05:
is there a way to fix the calibration. i noticed that the tip matches the screen only if the pen is slanted regardless if left or right-handed.

if you try to write while the pen is 90% perpendicular the dot isn't centered or beneath the tip of the pen.

Adjusting S Pen sensitivity

I just want to report in that I had some trouble with the S Pen being to insensitive, requiring a rather hard press to register. I pried off the button as described here and adjusted the BACK potentiometer.

There is a small marker hole in the potentiometer, and it was at about 7 oclock if you hold the pen with the nib pointing to your left. I adjusted it to about 5 oclock but then it registered "air touches". At 6 oclock it was perfect.

And no, I did not touch the front potentiometer. :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ngocdao:
That is calibrated. Supposedly the offset ks suppose to help you see what you're writing.

Theres an app in the market that changes it til your reference. Forgot the name though.

How about the X-ray you put your carry-on luggage through at the airport? My GNote has been through this four times the past two weeks and the stylus still works fine.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ravindra9:
I dont think that XRay scanners would adversely impact the S-Pen (or wacom digitizers). I say this based on my personal experience. I travel extensively, with NLT 8 to 10 scan/exposes to my gNote (and even to my Thinkpad X220 T, which also has a digitizer pen, with similar technology, and of course it also gets scanned at the airport with gNote!!)

I must say that compared to the digitizer pen of my X220 T, the S-Pen is pretty delicate/fragile, such that even a simple fall can ruin the S-Pen, but then, it can always be REPAIRED too, by simply opening the S-Pen and fixing everything (as described in OP) properly such that each respective part is gripping tightly against its respective counter part.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Flash05:
after upgrade from ics. the only angle i cant write wherein the tip is directly underneath is at 8:00 position left hand. obviously opposite for right hand.

this wasn't the case when i was in GB.

My spen fell a lot of times, and its still working..

I think i should take care of it from now on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] syncopath:
This I think (requires root!). I haven't tried it myself as I haven't needed it. My pen sometimes starts offsetting a little too much, but I have always found that if I exit the app and then go back into it, the pen has recalibrated of its own accord. I use the pen in most apps as I work with Graffiti (like I did on my Wallaby and the Palm V before it). For the Note I installed the Graffiti Pro app and it works splendidly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] damoj:
im also have trouble with the third step.

my pen is not the original one that came with the note. its the one you can buy from amazon with the holder.

noticed that the tail is black on yours, it is grey on mine.

anyone have suggestions

Political statements should go somewhere else

This political statement is so weird, it's almost funny. Every technology can be used as a weapon, and Tesla was not the only one promoting his findings as weapons. He is still highly regarded as a scientist, a the choice of his name as unit for magnetic fields demonstrates. Einstein spawned the development of the US atomic bomb and the peace Nobel price winner Sakharov actually developed the Russian Hydrogen bomb. We are no better humans than other people.

Sorry, I had to say that, in honor of a great scientist, with very interresting curriculum vitae.

Spen can hoover

By chance I found out that the spen on the android can hoover: when using google docs from dolphin with desktop agent, the highlighted entry of the dropdown menus just follows the tip of the pen, without touching. Touching then performs the click.

Developers! Give us a haircross below the hovering pen, like on a real tablet! Every interaction becomes much more precise.

Actually, I bought the calibration software (for root) mentioned above. It does not help much, because the Note recalibrates the digitizer on every screen unlock. If the focus is off, screen lock/unlock always corrects that for me.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krypton_the_slayer:
Er, Afraid not. There are only 7 official Wacom pens that work. Most Tablet pc pens should work. Cintiq 17 and 19" pens will work. Bambo, Graphire, Intous pens will not work.They use slightly differen technology, probably different frequency.

I did post somewhere else about exactly which pens but basically, only very old artpad, ultrapad pens will work or as above, or any pen whose model number starts with UP will work, though some of the tablet pens don't follow this naming rule.

More info found here at forums.bongofish.co.uk

The are some pens from a chinese seller on ebay. The have the Model numer UP-701 something, I bought one for our UP1212R tablet and it works on the Note.

See my orginal post here. Loads of 100% accurate info

Someone should put this stuff in the Wiki, will save people buying wrong pens!

I had lot of doubts about S pen, but now all my questions are answered. Thank you.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dragonfly14:
i cant open my S-Pen. i ordered a replacement from china but itll be here in over two weeks and i miss my S-Pen so much already. it started dying quite suddenly, had a ~ 5mm dead zone on each side of the screen, then it started being unable to be detected, then i had to press really hard to get it to do anything, then it stopped doing anything. no amount of force can get it to open and no amount of adjusting does anything.... i hope i didnt fry my note 2 but that i fried the s-pen. i killed it while playing World At arms for android, and probably tapped the screen 40 000 times with the s-pen in under 1 week.....

i used two pliers and kleenex, and i cant pull it appart no matter how hard i clamp down and pull. the s-pen now has some damage on it. any other tips other than "pull hard and straight out the back"?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] paraiso-san:
Thank you! How did you remove the "tail" (part number 5)? Mine got scratched and bought a new one on eBay, but I don't know how to remove the old one to put in the new one.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Ravindra9:
Hi paraiso-san! Removing the tail is not at all difficult, although its a bit tricky. I can give you some tips as below:

Please use a piece of cloth, thick enough (Ummm... like a fabric napkin is good idea), to avoid any SCRATCHES on the tail body.

You can slightly wet this cloth so that it give you a better grip.

Then, please remember, you DO NOT have to TWIST this tail. Simply PULL IT OUT- STRAIGHT.

Important: Please look at the picture in original post # 1, and pay attention to the area just above the arrow of part 5. You will note that "Anatomically" the TAIL has circular grips that neatly fits into the opposite grips of the main body (part no. 7, in the picture). This is important to note that you MUST NOT HOLD THIS PART while pulling apart the tail, as in that case you will be actually applying more pressure on the grip, and you will thus be holding this part of the TAIL even more strongly, thereby making it even more difficult to open it. So you SHOULD thus try to hold the main body more toward its center part, and with other hand, hold the tail, may be by putting your thumb towards the elevated part of the tail (by elevated part, I mean the part which just begins at the last letter of "SAMSUNG" logo on the tail.

So this way, simply PULL this APART-STRAIGHT. And the tail should come out.

I have tried to explain it in rather simple terms, and pardon me if it sounds too simplistic. I did so, as in past too, I received several mails, asking about the same issue of pulling out the tail.

I hope I have helped you satisfactorily... Cheers!

Though I am not sure about the exact architecture, the technology inside remains same for all the NOTE series. Fundamentally speaking, you should be able to open it in same way. Pls let me know if you are successful, or need further help. Good Luck...

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbens:
hi all,

first a small introduction, i m french and i just get my Galaxy tab 10 for Xmas.

i m using the GT 70% of the time for music (spotify or stereolizer).

BUT i have a problem, when i m connecting the bluetooth to my HIFI and in the same time using spotify in streaming to get some music the sound cuts most of the time.

when i m doing the same thing, spotify on streaming without the bluetooth connection i have no problem

and last try when i m listening some music who is on the Gtab (not on streaming) the sound in perfect with bluetooth and without!!!!

my conclusing is bluetooth plus streaming on wifi is not very good for the galaxy tab. but i need to do that because i don t want to plug a cable all the time from the hifi to the Galaxy.

do you have a solution, or do you know if the 3.2 update is solving this problem ?

thanks for your help

Ben

So I love my new Prime except that I am having a problem being able to use the stock calendar app. It WILL NOT open. Every time I try to open it it says:

Sorry!

The application Calendar (process.com.android.calendar) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

Force Close

I have rebooted several times, installed all of the recent firmware updates etc and it still won't work. Every ASUS tablet I have owned has done this. I have had zero problem using the calendar on my Galaxy Nexus or any other android tablet such as the Galaxy tab 8.9 or Motorola Xoom. Any ideas why this is happening?

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenix883:
Thanks for ur help, right now i had it solved by restored sd ext partition and wipe dalvik cache before reboot. for now it works but i cant sure that i wont lost my swap partition again. thanks for ur help :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akaSk8krew:
yes, if i clean dalvik cache and boot, the device recognize again the ext partition..but for me if i boot again, i loose again the partition. and swap don't work..i need boot million times to make swap work, but if i reboot again i loose the swap too..the solution for me is don't use ext partition, (but have problems with swap too) but i use much apps, then i have less memory.

alfs kernel in performance it's the best..alfs could fix the partition bug, i don't know..

sorry my bad english

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akaSk8krew:
with versio 6 of alfs the problem persists..anybody helps?? anybody knows why this kernel dont mount the partitions? because in alfs thread, in first post, alfsamsung said that ext2\3\4 works..but for me and for much people don't work too:(
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfsamsung:
I want to help you guys,but I don't have this problem and I can't reproduce your errors....

Try this:

1 format sd card with fat32,ext*,swap if you not allready have done this

2 remove system/etc/init.d/10app2sd Remove swapper and use link2sd to move apps

3 edit system/etc/fstab to look like this

/dev/block/mtdblock3	/system	yaffs2	rw
/dev/block/mtdblock4	/cache	yaffs2	rw
/dev/block/mtdblock5	/data	yaffs2	rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p1	/sdcard	vfat	rw
/dev/block/mmcblk0p2	/sd-ext auto	rw
[B]/dev/block/mmcblk0p3	/swap swap	rw[/B]

now all 3 partitions will be mounted at boot

4 add this to system/etc/hw_config.sh

This will turn on swap on swap partition

#enable swap
swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3	#turn on swapp
echo "60" > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness	#swap amount

To turn off swap do this and reboot

#enable swap
#swapon /dev/block/mmcblk0p3	#turn on swapp
#echo "60" > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness	#swap amount

check on terminal if swap is working using #free

If you used app2sd before,then try and put it back to see if app2sd is the problem
