I was actually talking about the spring in the writing end, not the clicking part. I don't know the actual internals of the s pen, but I'm assuming there is a spring in there near the tip. When you write on the screen with the pen, the rubber/plastic nub goes in the pen and goes back to it's original spot when you take the pen away from the screen. My fear was when the modded No5 s pen is in the slot, you have to put force on the clicky to be able to access the s pen. When you apply force won't there be pressure on the writing tip every time you draw or holster the pen because you have to click it every time. I'm probably over thinking this, but you are essentially putting pressure on the tip when you write with the pen. I was just thinking there's more force in engaging the clicker than simply writing on the screen. Since the No5 s pen is slimmer than the No4 spen, there's nothing to really keep it in place. You wrapped tape around the pen's body to increase the size, but even with that, doesn't the writing tip still make contact inside when you press or depress the clicker?
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Lexuzz89:
There isn't a spring in the tip of the pen.. It's the same like the n4 pen. Please buy it and test it by your self. You will see.. This isn't so complicated as it sounds :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] burntrat:
Are you sure? Then what makes the pen tip return to it's original place? The No5 s pen isn't cheap enough for me to just buy one and test it out. It's like $30-$50 where the No4's pen is only a few bucks. I want to make sure I don't run into any issues and be 100% sure before I purchase one.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Lexuzz89:
Yes I'm sure! Take a look in Youtube and see it by your self. I've bought my spen for 16€.. Look here http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=151865244989&alt=web

Well if it isn't a spring, there's something that resets the tip to it's original position. It doesn't magically go back.

Works

It Works Well !

Even On Note 3 !
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Lexuzz89:
Aaaah now I understanding you.. I thought you mean with the tip the writing part of the pen.... Ok than you are right! The klick is equal like a normal biro.. I've taken a picture from this and this is the point why I have written that you have to be carefully when you are drilling the little hole for the magnet!
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] burntrat:
I am actually talking about the front writing part. I don't want to damage that area cause that's the area that recognizes the pressure sensitivity while writing. I'm not too worried about the clicky back part. Sorry, but I am not familiar with a biro.

So you only drill out the 'NG' out of the SAMSUNG logo on the back end for the magnet? If the placement of the magnet is off by like a millimeter or so, the phone won't recognize the pen?

I'll be honest with you, this seems like a lot of work (drilling, chopping up pens, removing phone's frame, .etc) to get a clicky part for my s pen when I'll only use it during a couple cold months with thick gloves on. If the price on them pens drop to like $10 or less, I may try this out in the future. I figured out a way to just use my zipper pulls on my jacket to get the s pen out with thick gloves on. Appreciate all your help with pics though.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Lexuzz89:
My pleasure. I'll help where ever I can :)

In all it wasn't a big work.. But ok.. I don't have anymore warranty and that's the reason for this way and it's worthwhile :) I like it and everyone must know what he want..
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] fakhreza:
Hi. I think you are missing something about the note 5 s pen. AFAIK, note 5 s pen writing tip does not goes in or out the shell when the clicky bottom is pressed. They have no mechanical connection. As OP said, the clicky part is pure to make a click sound while you pressed it, creating a sensation of a real pen, nothing more.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] burntrat:
I don't think you understand what I was saying. I realize the clicking the back end doesn't make the pen tip retract like a typical pen. The clicking is just to retrieve the pen which was the only thing I wanted for my No4 s pen. If the No5's pen is anything like the No4's pen, they both have some sort of spring to have the pen's tip return to it's original position. The pen tip does indeed move even if it is a slight move. You press it lightly and the phone registers it as a light touch. You press it harder and phone registers it as a harder touch. The whole pressure sensitivity thing is what sets it apart from a standard stylus and let's you have thin and thick lines while drawing/writing for example. My main concern was that when you engage the clicker, you are pushing the pen up until it stops and it clicks out. Every time you do that, the tip is probably making contact with the phone internals like that white rubber piece posted earlier. I don't feel like taking my phone apart so I don't know if the pen's tip is making direct contact or at the pen's body. If it does indeed just make contact with the pen's body and not tip, then there should be no unnecessary pressure on it every time the pen is drawn or holstered. I'm sorry if I confused people here, I have been on a lot of cold medicine lately.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] burntrat:
If you are going to take the phone apart, can you take some close up pics of that white rubber piece? Or tell me when you press the s pen (both the No4 and No5 s pen) to the white piece, what makes contact? Does just the tip, body, or both tip and spen's body make contact? I can draw out a diaphragm if you are not sure what I am asking. If you are not sure if the tip is making contact with the white piece, open up a drawing app, hover above the screen until you see the circular cursor on the app, press the s pen's tip to the white piece as it would inside the phone, move the spen and white piece along the screen without making contact with the phone. When you move the pen/white piece combo, it will make a line if it does make contact. If you see no marks on the screen, then the s pen's tip is not making contact with the phone's interior while inside the phone. If that is the case, I might be more inclined to try this out.

[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] burntrat:
Ahhhh...I see what you mean now with the tape. That might be a good solution to hold the s pen and act as a buffer for the s pen tip. Nice, man. Unfortunately, it requires me to take the phone apart. I was hoping to leave the internals untouched cause I'm afraid I'll damage something on the disassembly.

You replaced the frame with a black one? What color was it before?

Than you must ask in the right thread.. Here we talk only about the s-pen
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] NienorGT:
I didn't know that there were a magnet in the N4 S-Pen. That explain why you don't break your N4 by inserting it backward lol.

Also, just to answer many questions about the S-Pen, the technology used by Samsung is from Wacom called Penabled and used in multiple TabletPCs who have stylus (they even almost had a monopole before the Windows 8 generation). That said, any Wacom Penabled stylus will work on the Galaxy Note devices and vice-versa.

I have a Surface Pro (1) which like the 2nd gen have a Wacom Penabled pen and I use my S-Pen on it so I don't have to have my Surface Pen always at hand.

More funny, the other Penabled features seen in other pens like the eraser button will also work flawlessly in S-Note (and maybe other apps optimised for the Note)..
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Lexuzz89:
You can insert the Note 4 s-pen backwards in the device and it doesn't matter.. In the Note 5 you have a very big problem ^^
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] nine5raptor:
A simple change to the butt of the spen would fix it. Sammy design engineers need a lesson in mistake proofing. I can say that my spen has been inserted many times backwards in my note 4 as my young children play scribble racer all time with my spen and insert whichever way they can.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] xdm9mm:
wow, i can't believe one is willing to break a Note 4 S-pen and get the magnet, then transplant it to a Note 5 S-pen which makes it look ugly just for the clicky feeling...

Using note 5 s pen for note 4

technically the S pen from the note 5 will work in the note 5,but the note 4 s pen slot cannot accommodate the note 5 s pen. By the way why would you want to use note 5 s pen for note 4? The software features are the same regardless of which spen used.Thus, use the note 4 s pen for note 4.
[Galaxy Note 4 Accessories] Lexuzz89:
Presse read the full thread. There are all the answers of your questions.

The only reason that I use the s-pen from the note 5 is the much better feeling, to get the pen is easier and the klick sound.

And it will fit in the note 4 when you put a little bit transparent tape on it! Then you have to remove the rubber thing what I imagined on one of the last pictures here and replace it with a sellotape and form it like a cone-shape. Trust me.. It will fit in the phone!

How are you factory reseting? Also what version of android are you on? Before you factory reset under backup and reset uncheck automatic restore.

You will also want to factory reset by powering off. Then power on by holding the power button and the volume up until you see the samsung label. This will boot you into recovery and factory reset from there.

Once you reset open up play and the first thing you should do is turn off auto updates under settings.

The multirom twrp installed fine for me via adb (there's an advantage to not having a pc I can install the toolkit on ☺).

If you can still boot into something, you should be able to install the multirom twrp using TWRP Manager or Flashify from the Play Store, I did that after I had everything running (and installed the regular twrp to see if it would work on mm, it didn't, so I had to reinstall multirom twrp).

Hey guys, a quick question.

Like many here, I wish I could root my retail VZW Note 4, but I can't. Obviously, thats is just the reality of the situation. Recently I got a tablet I can actually root, so I use that as much as possible. That said, I really like my Note 4 and would like to exercise some control over it. I'm done with waiting on 5.0.1 though. Just done.

So, the question: can the popular and pleasant debloater application Debloat the most recent version (5.1.1 I think)? If so, I'll just do that, save money and buy a dev edition.

Thanks much everyone.

My phone holder in the car has quite an enthusiastic grip and I don't want to squash or bend the screen cover portion. Anyone got any idea?

I'm used to pull tab pouches, but I like the idea of the convenience of the folio case.

The Adopted TPU case is by far the best TPU case I've ever had. I'm formerly a big supporter of anything from Diztronic but they were out of stock when I needed a case (I think there was a quality problem and they got pulled from Amazon). Despite the obnoxious pricetag I bought the plain black Adopted TPU case from the google store. The Diztronic cases always provided great protection against the casual drop without a lot of added bulk. The Adopted case gives me all that along with an uncanny resistance to oil build-up. I wouldn't call myself an oily person (I have kids so I wash my hand a lot) but I always seemed to be cleaning fingerprints off the matte finish of the Diztronic case (typically w/ alcohol). The Adopted on the other hand must use a slightly different formulation of PU to give it its resistance to oil-build up. It's softer than the diztronic, but not soft in a way that I think it would compromise its protective qualities. It's smooth on the back with a texturized perimeter to enhance its grippiness where it needs it most. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
