[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] SayaX:
I'm a little frustrated with my stylus. Some people are saying they can get theirs so sensitive it writes without actually touching the screen, but no matter what, I have to put some amount of pressure to get light touches... then it jumps in pressure too quickly for my liking. It's hard to be precise in Sketchbook Pro and I'm used to Wacom technology... I've owned Graphires (old school Bamboos), Intuoses, you name it. I'm used to being able to lay down light strokes, low pressure with low opacity and then using dropper tool to blend... for the Note 10., this is really difficult.

I adjusted the nobs, but it's not doing any good. Does the range or effect change per person? I'm thinking of actually calling Samsung and seeing if I can get another stylus out of them to try. This is driving me bonkers. Besides that, everything is perfect. For sketching it is fine, but that's just for sketching... painting or rendering is a pain because of this pressure issue.

It would be so helpful if there was a diagnostic tool that reported back the numbers that the pen was sending. There is on the actual Wacom tablets themselves, you can see how much pressure is applied and diagnose accordingly. I've had faulty pens before that I've had exchanged and it's fixed the issue.

I changed the nib too and that seemed to help, but I think the nib settled and it's still difficult to get steady light pressure without wrist strain.

I don't expect Intuos quality, but I expect something relatively close to a Bamboo level. Maybe not the same responsiveness,... But if it boasts 1024 pressure levels, it'd be nice to actually use those levels. I've used multiple apps... S-note, LayerPaint, LectureNotes, Sketchbook Pro... you name it. Still happy with the tablet, it just significantly lowers what I can realistically achieve art wise on it.... maybe it's just my pen. I am hoping it's my pen.

EDIT: BTW, when you guys mention "offset", are you talking about pressure threshold? Meaning, the amount of pressure needed to actually get a line for example?

this is the best i can get it but i still cant see a screw lol
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] madsquabbles:
what kind of pen is that. the nib doesn't look like a wacom style nib, or it's just a bad pic.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] terry1256:
i dont think its a genuine s-pen myself but iv ordered a new one so ill give that a try when it arrives :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] JSale:
Did you buy your tablet from a reputable seller and does the pen function properly, as this is very odd.

got the note off gumtree and the s-pen has a mind of its own sometimes it works sometime it doesn't

Sorry, wrong user
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] SayaX:
Well after my original post (pasted below), I went ahead and called Samsung CS... the first guy got my hopes up when he told me they would replace it. However, he then sent me to the 'executive customer dept' who took an half an hour on hold to finally tell me I would have to send in the whole unit. I'm not going to do that, because I'm happy with the tablet and it's stupid to send it back just for the pen. Really annoying.

So now I'm going to go actually buy a replacement...

Actually while I was sitting on the phone, I pulled off the switch to check my settings real quick and noticed the second nob had come loose!! I was like holy crap... but the pen works the same way as before so far. So I guess maybe that nob doesn't do anything after all!

I will probably go by Best Buy to get a replacement since they claim they have it in store. I'm a little irritated it has come to this, but if I get it replaced and it works like a charm, I'll be a happy camper.

Anyway, Wacom is releasing another stylus for the tab called "Bamboo Stylus Feel" sometime in a week, but I get the feeling from the vague and upbeat descriptions that it doesn't change the functionality or fluidity or pressure level situation at all.

Oh on another note, I had gotten an email from Samsung when I registered my Note 10 for 50% off accessories... I was going to order straight through them but come to find out it for "mobile" accessories only. Now why would they send me a coupon for mobile accessories to my Wifi tablet???? This is the second time I've registered a wifi tablet with them in past few months and I didn't receive an email then. Odd. So getting it through BBY...

Same here! This is from a Note N7000. It was sent to me from China. Doesn't seem to work correctly at all. Occasionally something happens but not at all right.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] edtuckerartist:
M pen works just fine with light and heavy strokes though I do have a slight problem transitioning beetween the two areas (in the mid section)

Not sure if adjusting the screws will achieve anything worthwhile and I'd rather not mess up my pen.

Does it fit snuggly in the pen holder slot on the tablet?

can't open my Spen

Guys I can't open my Spen, i tried with a razor, but it just scratched the button, I know that it is too much to ask for a video or detailed photos on how to do it.

I just need to increase the sensitivity a litte, but can't figure out how to open.

Thanks in advance.

It's a N8000
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Mr. bird:
This is the best I can do for you without making a youtube account, making a video and linking it here. Just got to get something with a point inbetween the cover and the pen and then pry against the pen lifting the cover off. Just got to make sure you pry toward the back of the pen or you will probably break the hook on the front.

You can also use the front part of the cover that hooks into the pen to turn the screw.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Snowtrouper:
quick question....

has anyone got to grips with the other pot? I've played with it a bit but really don't seem to be noticing any major change. The sensitivity pot is very sensitive and makes a clear difference to the way the pen works but I can't work out if the other really does much off anything. I've become obsessed with the damn thing now though lol.

I've Fixed My S-Pen (Maybe) Over-Sensitive Problem

The pen will not touch the screen. While the tip was pointing half way over any point of the phone screen, the screen scrolled, automatically.

By not knowing the turning direction adusting the left-side-turner, the problem has been fixed.

Thanks a lot for your information :good:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] brdeveloper:
Does anyone know if this procedures work on the original Galaxy Note (N7000) S-pen?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] whitedavidp:
I checked the Spen on my Note GT-N7000 a while back. No potentiometers that I could see. This may be limited to the Note II and beyond. Not sure exactly what your Note I issues are but my app, Reset Spen, on the Play Store helps with pointer accuracy if your device is rooted.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] brdeveloper:
I also removed de button on my S-pen and I found two potentiometers, one of them very difficult to reach. Also, they require a very small screwdriver do adjust (maybe something like a #0000 one). Anyway, I applied some force with a bigger screwdriver and could turn them. The one near the pen tip appearantly didn't change nothing. The second adjusts the sensitivity.

I'm interested on adjusting the offset, but it seems that the pots have nothing to do with the offset. Reset Spen only work on stock firmwares, but Jelly Bean is unusable. It's very slow. Omni Rom is pretty fast. I'm waiting for feedback on the Note 4. If the S-Pen is really improved in terms of offset, I will buy one. But it seems to be a Wacom limitation. The sensor should be located in the pen tip to not require calibration or some software trick. I'm also left-handed and S-Pen offset defaults to right-hand on AOSP roms...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] whitedavidp:
You really found some potentiometers on an original version SPen? Can you post a photo showing them? I sure didn't see any.

Regards Reset Spen, I did add some support for AOSP ROMs. Some of the reviews specifically mention this. Not sure about your ROM though. Also, in version 1.1, I added support for ROMs like SuperNexus which support the S-Pen but lack a dominant hand preference in the system settings. On first run, Reset Spen will now prompt for and use your preference.

Again, not sure if it will work for you. But may be worth a try. Cheers!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] brdeveloper:
I'll make some pictures later. There are two pots.

Well, so I tried Reset S-Pen and it worked pretty well. Thank you! The offset was really improved. Now it's matching the stock firmware accuracy. Sorry for the typos... reading the quotation I almost didn't understand what I've written.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] bunny-ears:
genuine Wacom styluses vs counterfeit

The genuine Wacom styluses I've seen inside of (branded Samsung, Toshiba, and Fujitsu) all have the potentiometer screws. As others have mentioned, there are usually two; and the screw closest to the nib adjusts its sensitivity. It is the position of the screw that matters, not the direction of rotation (on the styluses I have). When the screw is turned 360 degrees, the sensitivity setting after is the same as it was before (plus or minus some error caused by screwing around with things that shouldn't be screwed with).

I suspect that the screw farther from the nib adjusts the side button somehow because the Fujitsu styluses, which have two side buttons, have three screws with circuit etchings connected to the buttons.

The counterfeit Galaxy Note styluses from China do not work as well as genuine s-pens. The nibs are made of a different material. (Galaxy Note s-pens have rubberized tips.) The counterfeits also do not have the potentiometer screws. The price of buying cheap electronics is you get what you get.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] whitedavidp:
Thanks for making me look further. You are exactly right, I guess. I have the Spen that came with the phone and one I got off Ebay for cheap. The one I opened was from EBay when it wasn't working as well as the original. In the photo showing the single Spen, you can see there is not much inside there. In the photos showing the two side by side you can see that the lettering/ink for Samsung is different intensity AND there are indeed pots inside the original. The points look basically the same to my eye but the fake one has a point a little more rounded. I will smash it with a hammer and learn. Cheers!

No pots in Note 4?

I've just unscrewed my Galaxy Note 4'th S-Pen and found that it has no pots, at all. I have an original device, not some China replacement (unless Samsung ships fake styluses with their new series). Anyone else found this?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] MercuryStar:
I dunno but this forum's about the Note 10.1, so if you want to talk to Note 4 users you may want to check out the relevant forum if you haven't done so already.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] fundaprob:
The S Pen on the photos looks identical to mine, I thought they'd be identical inside as well. Guess I'll cross-post about this in another forum and see if anyone knows for sure.
[Galaxy S III General] Simonetti2011:
That is normal.

Google Play Store started rolling out differential updates (aka "delta updates") about 2 months ago.

18 Mb would be for a clean install, which isn't your case.

Since you already had the previous version, only a differential patch (a delta) is downloaded and installed. That's why you see only a small part of the update being downloaded. That update is only what has changed between versions.

[Galaxy S III General] tridibsahabd:
This is because of incremental updates google launched knows as "smart app updates". It just downloads the updated/changed bits.

Hello Everyone,

Today, after doing lots of research I found out my front ear speaker of s3 is not working and its hardware issue.

Anyone know or a good tutorial to replace front ear speaker?

Yes... my phone is not in warranty for some reason.

[HD2 General] Eriu:
Hi Folks,

My Mighty Legendary HD2 has effectively died!!! :(:(:(

The keypad buttons have stopped working and I don't know it it's a problem on the main board or with the keypad flexiboard.

Anyone any thoughts ideas?

Eriu :(
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
With battery out connect it to charger, insert battery(check pins to be OK) and it should start even without buttons...

If possible check battery to not be dead!
[HD2 General] Eriu:
Hey thanks, I tried that and it does boot when power connected the problem is turning it on without charger and then in OS controlling UI. Thankfully two buttons still work (win & green keys) so in wp I remapped them to 'back' and 'power'. I tried a different screen assembly (different keypad and screen) and still had the same problems, so the fault must be in the main board?

Any ideas anyone would be greatly appreciated??:confused:
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
It seems like that, but it's quite odd: you should try, if possible, with another mainboard and see what happens...

It could be a ROM related issue, maybe?
[HD2 General] 12345611:
:D
[HD2 General] bib*oops:
You're saying what?
[HD2 General] Eriu:
I dont think its a ROM issue because its the same in both WP and Android - was thinking maybe it was an SPL related issue but flashed the 2.08 spl and had same problem so reflashed 2.08 hspl. Anyway I think there must be some damage I can't see done to the main board (since I examined it with magnifying glass etc...)

[Asus Transformer TF700] xamot69:
I recently went from Stock JB to Scotts CleanRom 2.3 and Data2SD (Completely awesome btw). Before I wiped everything out, I did an app+data backup using the Asus App Backup program that came on the device. After I was finished flashing everything, I restored all of the apps and data from the file I made earlier. Most of the data came back without issue. However, when I fire up Bad Piggies HD, it acts like a new install and all my progress has been lost. Has anyone else tried to restore data from Bad Piggies using the built-in backup app?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ArmyAg08:
I have not used the Asus app, but have you given Titanium Backup or MyBackup Root a shot? Both work very well and I've never had issues. If you have a nandroid, you can revert back, backup, and then reinstall your ROM with apps again.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bugman72:
Monoprice has an MHL adapter for just over $10 (item #8675). While this isn't as cheap as some of the ones on Ebay, the sense of security is worth the price. Plus, it's cheaper than buying an "official" one. I've been using this on my Note for a while now with no issues. It does not work with my wife's S3, though. It appears that they will carry an MHL adapter for the S3 soon, however.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AndroidVageta:
OK...got the adapter today! :)

For reference I got this one:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/180895011500?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649

Works but has a few flaws which I don't know are related to the adapter, phone, or my TV in my room (Sony KD-34XBR960).

Only issues is that if the phone is at max volume the audio has a lot of static and distortion. Dropping the volume to about 50-75% fixes this completely though. Also considering the phone is 16:10 and my TV is 16:9 the image is a bit cut off on the top and bottom (still fullscreen and everything works, movies look great irregardless). The adapter also doesn't seem to charge the phone either when using HDMI as my percentage was falling. I'm guessing the power plug needed is for the HDMI output.

Oh and phone calls don't work at all...thought it would be cool to do speaker calling through my TV but that was a no go.

So from my experience it only works with videos, surfing the web, etc...no phone calls.

Other than those issues, which I don't know are typical or not, the adapter works excellently! No complaints for $5 and some change shipped other than the long ass wait (22 days from China...whatever).

I'm happy and definitely recommend it! Despite the issues I have I'm still completely satisfied.

Take a look at the new casual game for Android.

It is Android implementation of old Russian casual game with checkers board and pieces. Your goal is to kick the other guy's pieces from the board punching your pieces.

Touch the piece that you want to throw on other player, and swipe in the target direction. When all their pieces are off the board, you advance one row on the checkerboard. Ultimate goal is to reach other side of board faster than your opponent.
