What is this for? It came in the box - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This piece of hardware came in the box, does anyone know what is this for?

Probably used for changing the tip of the s-pen

i think it a sim kit for removing and sliding i think.

Pointers for the spen.. Their Changeable..

it's the tweezers and replacement spen nibs. Instructions are in the user guide pdf.

I never had to do this on my Note 3, I am guessing I won't on my Note 4. Has anyone ever needed to do this?

making a custom case?

I was wondering if there is a website that allows you to make a custom case/shell for the Galaxy note 2 yet. I've seen some for the galaxy note 1, but i dont know if the note 1 accessories will work for the 2.
Can anyone help out or clarify? I have some pictures id love to put on a case for my phone
Saw a guy review casemyway.com case for the galaxy note 2 on the youtubes. Their site only says note though, but i think it's for the note 2. Perhaps they mislabled it?

Thanks! I went there and I couldnt find or click the one for the Note 2, but apparently, if you email them they will make it for you!
I'll have a review up soon for a site called casetagram.
they offer a note 2 option.

Note 4 stylus wont work on Note 3

Just played with a Note 4 and noticed the stylus won't work on the Note 3. Didn't try the other way round.
Any idea what they changed? I know they talk about tilt sensing.
Bit annoying as I regularly swap styluses between my Note 3 and Surface Pro (1)

All the styli (I have three) I had pre-Note 4 work on the Note 4. The Note 4's stylus works on my N10.1-14 and vice versa. I can't check my ex-Note 3 because it was traded-in. Setting that needs to be enabled/disabled maybe?

Take your stylus out of the Note 3 first. If it detects that the stylus is in the silo,it won't allow you to use another one.
At least that's how it's working on my note 2.[emoji1]

Interesting. Good to hear. Can't see what setting they would have changed though.
It was the same with the Note 3 stylus and Note 2. It makes sence. Ever year samsung a different Wacom digitizer and a new Super AMOLED screen.
I can confirm that Note 4 stylus work well on Note 3. Tested on N9002 and N900.
Note 3 , note 4 , note pro tab....
3 of spens works with each other including air command and button.....
There is no reason why the Note 4's S-Pen wouldn't work with your Note 3. Both devices utilize Wacom technology for their digitizers.

OK must have been because I didn't take the stylus out of my note 3!
Is it right the 4 can detect tilt of the stylus?
Surface pro pen also works on note 3/4.
They all work interchangeably..

I've only tried on the last two of the series i.e. note 3 and note 4.. But they should work on all with the same technology..
Is the tilting also working on note 3?
How does actually it work? new sensor on the pen or on the screen panel?
Sensor is on the panel, I think the pen itself is passive.
The note 4 pen works on note 3 tried and tested both pems on each other

Did you remove the pen from the note 3 chassis before trying the note 4 pen on it, and vice versa?

It works just fine. I just tried my friends Note 3 stylus on my Galaxy Note 4 and he tried my Galaxy Note 4 stylus on his Note 3. Both worked fine.

Note 4 Gear VR compatible with Note 5?

Now that Note 5 is officially announced, I am trying to find some official/semi-official information on whether Note 4 Gear VR will be compatible with Note 5? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Osho
Of course not. Different sizes, they told they are about to release a. New compatible version for them
Honestly they are the same size...I don't see why it wouldn't work. My friend just got his note 5 today so I will give it a try in my Note 4 Gear VR

They never said that exactly. They told us to wait for Oculus Connect before buying a new phone, so that could mean no Gear VR for the Note 5 if they decide on announcing a VR phone.
What about Note Edge?
Will any VR work with note edge either Glaxay Vr or Innovator edition?
Any trick....!

No support for the Note Edge.
Got my note 5 and have been trying to connect it to the gear VR (Note 4 version). I got the oculus apps installed (ported from my Note 4 using Samsung smart switch), but the micro usb connector on the gear vr has a bump on it which stops anything other than the Note 4 from connecting. I looked inside the Note 4 micro usb port and I can see a notch to accommodate the bump. So Samsung succeeded in making a standardized connector into a proprietary one. *Hurray!*
Anyway, I then bought a micro usb extender cable and cut the notch into it myself. Still a no go. The extender doesn't fit on all the way (only about 4/5 the way). It seems like the female end on the Note 4 not only has a notch, but is also deeper *Hurray again!*
I tried connecting the Note 4 with the extender anyway, but couldn't get it to enter the oculus app. My last thought is to file down the bump on the gear vr connector. My only concern is that the bump is required to engage something on the Note 4. Definitely don't want to make a $200 mistake.
Has anyone tried shaving this bump down? Or has anyone heard of someone trying this?
Update: I filed down the bump and got the Note 5 to fit. Unfortunately, nothing happened. I'll try again after the official firmware update. However, I also tried the Galaxy S6 and S6 edge with no luck and those do have the firmware needed so it looks like there is a software lock preventing anything other than the Note 4 from working. The good news is that the Note 4 still fits and works :thumb: I'll be posting about this on the Techisode TV channel if anyone wants to see images and video of the process.
Update 2: video uploaded.
How about changing build prop. Wonder if it checks build prop for verification. Also wonder if there was any vr apps already pre-installed before you sidesynced anything. If so try using vr setup wizard. Then again the S6 didn't work so probably no go. Could be a kernel thing. That's what delayed the lollipop update back then for devices with gear vr software.

What a pity Galaxy Note 5 not work with Gear VR.
This isnt too bad of a Necro, but curious if anyone had any other trys with this
I don't think anyone else is going to bother now that the latest Gear VR iteration got confirmed yesterday at Oculus Connect, with Note 5 and S6e+ support along with the smaller S6 variants. At least the Note 5 can do Gear VR after all.
If anything, what might make me curious is the inverse: taking that recent Gear VR iteration, when it hits store shelves, and checking to see if the Note 4 acknowledges it at all. I'm guessing not, since it's not officially supported and the USB descriptor probably won't match up enough for the Gear VR Service to do its thing.
I hope the Note 4 works with the new gear VR. I don't like the direction Samsung is going with there product support and I don't like the Note 5. The gear VR for the Note 4 clearly has issues that have been resolved with subsequent versions. It's extremely disappointing Samsung most likely will ignore and forget the Note 4, especially even more disappointing since it's the device that started this VR evolution.

Can you change the S-pen souind?

Is there a way to change the sound your phone makes when you take the s-pen out and put it back in?
Try 'S Pen Toolbox' from the Play Store, I used it on my Note 4
haven't tried it on my N5d, yet, but i used to use S-Buddy on my N3.

Been using Note Buddy (S Pen Helper) since the Note 3, now using the Note 5 and have no issues at all.
Combine that with Zedge and you can have some awesome S- Pen sounds!
There is a free and a paid version, not sure the difference since i bought it right off the bat.
tallazzPilipino, not sure if S-Buddy is the same app or not.
Thanks for these. Had a Note 8.0 and it had that option, was disappointed it didn't make it to the Note 5.
After reading about note buddy how could i not use the lightsaber sounds in and out. Lol
