[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] intelliriffer:
Not sure if it helps your case, but underneath the spen button (if you pry it open with a pin) there are 2 potentiometers (variable resistors) or for common folks adjustment screws, that I assume are meant for calibration.

Perhaps someone with a spare/alt pen can give that a try and report their findings. one of the screws is for adjusting pressure sensitivity and the other is for offset.

My wacom intuos 4 pen also have a adjustment screw underneath it, unfortunately that pen is of no use with this device as not compatible.

My old wacom graphaire tablet pen also does not work with my intuos4 or galaxy note.

another thing to note : Magnets do affect the note 8 digitizer a bit. I noticed that with my aftermarket flip book cover (that had tiny magnets in back) was affecting right most region and either strokes wont register, or register at an offset and at times would get wavvy (likely following to magnetic field pattern of those magnets). I removed those magnets with a blade.

It is a possiblility that samsung calibrated the spen and digitizer on note 8 to compensate for magnetic field due to some internal parts and thus throwing all other compatible pens off the grid. (very unlikely but not impossible).

I tested some pens

Hi,

I tested some pens with my 3G Note 8.0

Wacom CS-3002W bamboo stylus feel

This one works very well, is well built and has no offset (there are two versions of this pens, the one with blue packaging is for Samsung Galaxy Note)

Samsung ET-S110EBEGSTD

Has offset and is a little heavy at the wrong side

Samsung ET-S200EBEGSTD

No offset, very light and not really quality built

Hope this helps you
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kisrita:
I purchased the Wacom Bamboo Stylus Feel White and it has a really large offset. I shortened the tip as much as I could, but it still has a large offset. (I must write with more of an angle than most). I also purchased the 8p pen and found a slight offset. I use Lecture Notes so I can compensate, but the Wacom Bamboo Feel I have needs 3 times the offset that I use for the 8p.

If the above reference is to another Wacom Pen or if someone finds a full size pen that works as well as the built in pen, please post a link to it. The built in pen feels like writing with a toothpick!

Edit: looking at my offset settings, shortening the tip helped more than I remembered. My 8p offset was 5 pixels, my Wacom offset used to be about 3 times as much but is now -5, -5, -8, -3, in the different directions in landscape and portrait modes. Maybe I'm just more lucky than most, or write at more of an angle.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kisrita:
Hm, that looks like the same pen I have which definitely is off using Lecture Notes, but I haven't tested yet in S Notes (I left it at work). What app are you using it in? Do you tend to slant the pen when you write, or do you hold it pretty much 90 degrees to the surface? If the difference turns out to be in the app and not in the pen I might just have to learn how to use S Notes!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] mayday2:
This one is for note 1. The spen inside is same as note 1's. If you hold it for 90 degree, there is not much offset. If you tilt it for normal writing, the offset may bother.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] xorgh:
All apps are working fine: snote, lecture notes, simple mind, sketchbook, photoshop touch.

Here some picture of hovering above lecture notes app:

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kisrita:
Thanks. I turned off the hover feature so I can't tell if mine is the same. (It gets in the way when taking notes fast, I find it too distracting). But I just did a little test in SNote as well as in Lecture Notes, and the offset I see is present in both, though it is very small. My test draws a rectangle and then tries to draw a straight line from each corner to see how close the pen actually writes to where it touches. Then I write "hello" in script twice, erase the first "l", and add it back in another color. I can do this perfectly with the built in pen. The 8pi is so close, I'm unsure if it's off at all, or if it's just my writing isn't perfect. But the Wacom pen definitely does not connect with the existing line. Now that I've shortened the tip, it's only a tiny bit off, but is enough to bother me. (Of course now I have to test it with another unshortened Wacom tip to be sure it's not because I shortened it! All the nibs are at home so this will have to wait.)

So (almost) final verdict from me: The S Pen (8pi) is overall the most comfortable to use (for me).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] bigmout:
I pulled the trigger on the ET-S200EBEG (8pi). It's smaller than I expected, and as promised, has a slight offset (1mm or less) that makes it not quite as precise as the internal S-pen. Still, it's a big improvement over my other WACOM stylus and very usable for note taking. Overall, I'm pleased.

Found a Bamboo-Note compatibility list that seems updated on a regular basis by Wacom:

http://bamboostylus.wacom.com/compatibility/
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kisrita:
This compatibility list makes it look like there is a different Bamboo Stylus Feel for the Note 8, than for other devices. I have a Bamboo Stylus Feel White. Is there a different Bamboo Stylus Feel for the Note 8 that would work better? If yes, can someone post a link because I have only been able to find the one I bought and I'm not really impressed with that.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] brecklundin:
Kisrita,

From what I read here and on he Wacom page for the Bamboo feel, the Note 8 compatible version comes in a BLUE box. Now that info was from the Wacom .eu site so don't know if it's the same world wide. My bet is yes though I haven't confirmed yet.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] mayday2:
Have you pulled out the internal spen of Note 8 when you wrote using other spen? You may also check the Power Saving mode setting of s-pen.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jtsc:
Thanks for your advice. Totally didn't know that the s-pen in the slot will disable the function. Was wondering if I have bought a lemon product.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] HankRearden:

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] andyfarmery:
I was really disappointed with the offset with my OEM/Fujitsu stylus that works great on my Note 2, so I ordered an 8pi which I just received and I have to say I'm very pleased with it; no offset, the extra length makes it more comfortable, and it's great having a built in eraser!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] k000:
Bought Wacom feel on Friday and wanted to give it back within 10 minutes of use... horrible offset..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] brecklundin:
Which version of the Bamboo did you buy? Further up this thread it was mentioned there are two versions. I believe it is the one that comes in a BLUE box which compatible with the N8.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] k000:
There were only white boxes in the store here in NY - it's the non-carbon version... is the blue one the carbon one >.. ? Which BTw is like $79 as oppsoed to non-carbon $39..

Wacom is already being ridiculous pricing at $39... i can not justify $79 .. :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] k000:
Sorry mine was black and a bit if white areas. Just returned it back.

How much did you pay for blue packaging?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] brecklundin:
You want to make sure the box is marked "Bamboo Stylus feel for Samsung Galaxy Note". The other models are marked differently. Just read previously posted link to the page on compatibility carefully as it is all pretty clear once you see what the page actually is explaining.

The price was the same as the other and I found it locally at a small shop.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kisrita:
I went to Best Buy and bought a Wacom Bamboo Feel Stylus that had the blue sticker claiming compatible with Samsung Note and other devices. Other than the blue sticker, the box looks identical to the Wacom Bamboo Feel pen I received directly from Wacom with no mention of Samsung compatibility. (Both are black and white, only difference is a small round blue sticker).

I tested this "compatible" pen and found it to perform exactly the same, with the same rather large offset as the one that said nothing about compatibility. It is impossible to draw a square and then a line exactly from each corner. The pen draws slightly below and to one side of where the tip touches the screen. So I promptly returned it to Best Buy. I still have the original Wacom Bamboo Feel I ordered from Wacom, which is usable with a shortened tip and Lecture Notes which can be programmed with the offset. But I would recommend to people to just get the 8pi S pen instead. It still isn't as exact as the built in pen, but probably close enough except for digital artists. Note if you use it at 90 degrees to the tablet, you may not have an issue. However holding it in a natural writing position, most people will have it angle towards the screen, and this creates an offset during normal handwriting.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] FaeMinx:
From all these report, I'm just going to stick with the S Pen. I can't tolerate any offset.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] brecklundin:
[MENTION=983858]kisrita[/MENTION]

bummer your pen didn't work as hoped. For others I dug out my box and the exact model number is CS-3002. (CS-3002W is the white version) That model number is the one on the Wacom sites which specifically state it's Note 8 compatible. You do not want the CS-300 model as that one states only Note 10.1 and Windows.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kisrita:
Interesting. The model I have with no mention of compatibility and the model Best Buy is selling as compatible with Samsung Galaxy Note both say CS-300UW (in white). Mine is white and the one I tested from Best Buy with the compatibility sticker is black, which is reflected in the model number CS-300UK-see link below. Also note that the compatibility sticker just says Samsung Galaxy Note, not Note 10.1 nor Note 8. I even emailed Wacom support asking if there is a different more compatible model for the Note 8, or if the difference is only marketing. So far they have not responded at all. Here is the Best Buy pen that does not work any better than their regular Wacom Bamboo Feel;

White (identical to the one I have without the compatibility sticker):

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Bamboo+...7373&skuId=8283052&st=wacom bamboo&cp=1&lp=10

Black (this was the one I tested and returned, works exactly the same as the above white model):

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Bamboo+...5100&skuId=8282053&st=wacom bamboo&cp=1&lp=11

I have not found any US sellers selling any other models of these Bamboo Feel pens.

Edit:fixed link
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] brecklundin:
I read a recent review over at Amazon wrt the CS300UK that she was able to get the stylus working OK by disabling POWER SAVING mode as well.as the detect S-pen docked/undocked status feature.

http://www.amazon.com/review/R26BP6...e=UTF8&ASIN=B00BVUQZZ2&nodeID=541966&store=pc

But that review said nothing about offset which seems can vary from device to devixe and app to app. I known Boat browser can be odd even with the original S-pen with my Note 8.0 so who the heck knows as it sure seems like a bit of roll of the dice.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kisrita:
That setting is necessary to use another pen while the built in spen is in the tablet. It's not related specifically to the Wacom pen, and doesn't decrease the offset. It's just a necessary step to use an additional digital pen without removing the built in pen.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] bigmout:
I've been using the settings within Lecture Notes to compensate for the slight offset with my 8pi. The trade off is you get a slight offset with the internal S-Pen. Took some trial and error, but I've got it set such that the offset's so tiny on both I don't even notice it anymore with either.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kisrita:
+1

This works for the Wacom pen as well, but more difficult to get the setting just right. In the end I decided to just stick with the 8pi and ditch the Wacom pen.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kkretch:
Has anyone noticed that the spec sheet for the new Feel for Galaxy Note has the length being 2mm shorter than the standard Feel.

Does anyone have both new and old so they can tell us if the pen body is 2mm shorter, is the nib set back into the body more with both using the same nib or is the nib its self actually shortened.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] luckysoul777:
I know this is an old thread, but there are always new owners to an old device like me. I recently bought a Note 8.0, SGH-I467 (AT&T) off eBay because some note taking review, even though published in 2017, still ranks this 2013 device highly for note taking. Being a 4-year-old device also makes it quite affordable. The 8" form factor is light in your hand and together with a WACOM style stylus, S Pen, is perfect for taking notes except for this 1/16" (2mm) offset to the right. I assume the review was written by someone who has 4.1.2 on his device, which doesn't have this problem.

Anyway if you are unlucky like me with SGH-I467 (AT&T, LOCKED bootloader), *NOT* SGH-I467M (Canadian version, bootloader UNLOCKED), and your tablet came with 4.3 or higher, you are stuck with this problem. You cannot download a custom kernel that fixes this problem. Nor can you downgrade back to 4.1.2.

If you are on 4.2.2, you can still downgrade back to 4.1.2.

I spent countless hours researching for a fix. Some lucky souls have solved it by drawing to the corners of the display in S Note. The theory here is it actuates Note 8.0's automated calibration. It doesn't work for me. Others have tried to toggle the left or right hand dominant setting with success. Unfortunately, such option is not available on my device.

The Reset S Pen app on the Play Store doesn't work either because it is a kernel problem, not a configuration file.

I even popped the cover of the button on the S Pen to adjust the potentiometer, but I still couldn't observe noticeable differences.

The problem with an offset to the right is the ink will be under the S Pen when you draw if you are right handed. It's no big deal when you are writing, but intolerable if you are drawing.

This morning I figure out a workaround I can live with as a right-handed person and would like to share.

Turn your tablet upside down with auto rotate enabled. Your app of course will turn right side up again, but the offset is now to the left instead!

If you are right handed, this makes a big difference because you can now see it. Instead of looking at the nib when you start drawing, focus on the cursor instead when the nib gets close to the display. Now you know when to drop down your S Pen and from where the drawing would start. The cursor would disappear after S Pen makes contact, but at this point you don't need the cursor anyway because you would be following the ink!

If you are left handed, you don't need to turn the device upside down since you can already see the offset. Just re-train yourself to follow the cursor and ink instead of the nib.

Hope this helps!

[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
This is from the Buggy Blitz folks that also made Riptide and Shine Runners. Also the apparent reason for Syder Arcade not working. Apparently it is a sound issue unique to the Nook as far as not working. Odd.

"Yeah the problem is that we use a sound system called FMOD which for some reason does not work on the Nook. We released a separate version specifically for Nooks through the Nook store, which is why it makes a difference if you buy it there or through the Google play store.

Unfortunately there's nothing we can do to fix this for you, other than issue you a refund and if you want you can go ahead and buy them through the Nook store. Only catch is that BBB is not available on Nook.

Matt"

The weird thing is Buggy Blitz, Riptide and Shine Runners DID work with stock 2.1 and I installed via Play market and not Nook market. Did the app stores mind meld?
[Nook HD, HD+ General] verygreen:
And this is a total lie too, because the same crash happens on Kindle Fire HD 8.9 with CM10.1 that has a totally different sound driver.

also if we revert to older sgx drivers, these games start to work too, which sort of points into gfx direction as well.

Possibly there was some other, older issue that they refer too, though.
[Nook HD, HD+ General] rushless:
Regardless, the dev that can fix it will not, so same net result. All I know is the games did work with stock 2.1. That said, the stutter due to whatever the heck B&N's contracted devs did in the firmware (that and the library sync) made the device problematic for gaming. CM 10.1 makes the Nook HD+ crazy good compared to stock, especially factoring the price.

I have "lost" five games on the Nook (tested so far), but gained the three Star Wars games in Zen Arcade (those games did not work with 2.1 but do with CM 10.1).

More than reasonable "sacrifice" :)

Because you got your phone today, root it now so you don't lose any data when you unlock the bootloader.

You will have probably updated to the latest version of Android, so once you have CWM or another custom recovery, flash an older, compatible radio and then do the T-Mobile fix. This will give you working LTE on the stock ROM.

They told me that only certain apps could be moved. I live in Canada and didn't get a single damn update ever since I bought the phone.

None of my apps are able to transfer to sd card period!

they also told me they have never heard of that bleeding colours in the settings menu when you scroll with brightness turned down.
