Can you change the S-pen souind? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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

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.

What is this for? It came in the box

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?

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.

I'm guessing it doesn't not work on the note 5?

According to T-Mobile, the first device to launch with Advanced Messaging is the Samsung Galaxy Grand Prime, which is available for purchase today for $190 outright or $7.92 a month for 23 months and (to be absolutely exact) $7.83 for the final month. By the time we reach the end of 2015, T-Mobile will have “nearly a dozen more” devices that will include the feature. For owners of the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Galaxy S6, however, they will also receive Advanced Messaging through a software update sometime in the near future.
My Note 5 has the feature.... I think. Its hard to say cause I haven't messaged anyone who has a compatible phone with advanced messaging.
The weird thing is when I had my S6 edge I was running the leaked Note 5 rom and the advanced messaging showed when my brother who had a Note 5 with Sprint was typing, read my messages etc. But when I got my Note 5 it doesn't do that anymore. You even have stickers etc when you are texting someone who has a phone capable of advanced messaging also.

If no Galaxy Note 8 then which one?

It's been 6 months I am using Galaxy Note 8 now I wanna switch can anyone give some options no Galaxy S9 though please.
I was reading about LG G7 ThinQ looks nice.

Why do you want to change your note 8? What do you dislike about it? I would consider anything else except a note 9, as a downgrade
I dislike the battery.I absolutely hate the speaker.It's shameful for a device of this price.I also dislike the slow updates but that is a Samsung issue overall.Touchwiz launcher is horrible but that's an easy fix.All that being said nobody makes as good of a screen as samsung,I adore the camera and the s-pen is an absolute delight.I don't know about upgrading to the note 9 simply because that'd be a net loss of 500$ for only 6 months of usage on my note 8 but I'm positive I'll be getting the S10/Note 10
I think, there are more then enough people who needs every 6 month a new device.
I don't know why.
Don't be afraid to hit the "Thanks" button if someone helped you. It don't hurts

Nothing as such I just wanna change I am hating its curve screen which has no use at all and not a single screen protector fix on it (tried 4 so far)
I like OP6 but then its camera is not as good as Note 8 camera is, secondly it has no HDR for Netflix and Amazon and its vibrations are so so weird!!
I like LG G7 ThinQ though havent tried it yet!

You will probably have a difficult time with that question in this forum since we're here because we like/love the Note series of phones. With that being said I don't disagree with the speaker part, I'm hoping the Note 9 will have stereo speakers, preferably more robust speakers to boot.
You need to get a full screen adhersion screen protector. They can be found pretty easily you just need to look for them. But I would stick with the Note 8 as it is a very good device and will probably last you for a good few years.

Yeah still its so irritating and annoying at times saw HTC U12+ really impressed with the over all feel of the phone and the camera has outstanding results, might go for it I guess!

Google will never release a Dual Sim variant and that sucks [emoji43]

The LG G7 and HTC U12 won't have any better battery life compared to Note 8. PIxel 2 XL would be an option. Huawei Mate 10 Pro or P20 Pro is another option. Note 9 is around the corner with 4000 mah battery which should help
Bought OnePlus 6 Mirror Black 128gb (Black Mirror is so sexy its dope, OnePlus did an amazing job), its amazing freaking fast, smooth, the gestures are nice as well. I love the full screen display with notch though so many people don't like it, you can't compare the camera with Note 8 one's but its not that bad seriously and with Gcam the pictures comes really nice.
Over all experience is so satisfying, I don't miss Note 8 at all :good:

If I were you, I would go probably for the Huawei P20 Pro.
I get puzzled by such threads? The Note series is unique as a mobile phone experience.
The S-pen is whats makes the Note, the Note. If one doesn't need or use the S-pen I cant imagine why one would purchase a Note series mobile? To that end there are no options or other choices to the SG Note 8 until the Note 9 is released shortly.
If the S-pen is not of primary use then there are numerous other mobile phones to explore.
One thing is a certainty in the mobile world, no phone will please all users. That is why there is a plethora of choices. Every mobile made has its positives also negatives, its all a question of needs and usage prioritise.
I need and use the S-pen, it makes my mobile a pocket PC.
If I didn't need the S-pen I would look at mobiles with my second priority and that is good DAC and sound quality. Some prioritise the camera or screen size, the list is endless.
Ryland
so true, Ryland; plus, why do people thing anyone cares about why they hate a particular phone?
If you hate the note 8, get rid of it and get something else; no one here cares to hear your sob story about why its so awful..
BTW, even though I have had several Note phones, start with the first one, I rarely use the Spen at this point in my life; I like them for their size, their screen, and the "extras" that samsung includes in their phones...Sure, the sound sucks, but there are endless BT/Wired/Wireless speakers and head sets that make that point moot. Battery life is no issue, with wireless charging, and most of the other complaints are just silly ..
anyways, lets hope that people who dont like this phone just get rid of it, and move on, without giving us endless posts about why they hate/hated/got rid of it..no one cares!!!

I had an LG G7 ThinQ for 2-3 days, couldn't stand the UI and is on the small side for me compared to the Note 8. G7 is not slow just different when you use all these phones. Ended up giving it to my Granddaughter after 3 days.
Probably a Note 9 or an iPhone X plus
The note 8's battery is as trash as the Note 5's.
