Superglue
Any other option?
Ya i would just assume only option is a little super glue and push it back in place. I would contact samsung first and request a replacement. Phone release date was less than a year ago so it should be a no questions asked replacement i would think

It has happened to me too. Resolved with just a drop of superglue. Not really an issue

I was writing with my pen yesterday. Just a really quick note. I went to tap the button on the spen and this happens! I owned three different Note versions but have never seen this happen. Incredible!
This is amazing, so three people so far that I have seen here have broken S-Pens? How much are these phones? And this type of thing happens? Way to go Samsung! This should not happen to a single persons S-Pen at all. As a matter of fact, that part of the device should have been made out of a metal with tiny slit windows to allow for RF transmission to the phone. Personally, I would call them up and tell them how unacceptable this is at this price point, and that they are to send you two extra pens on top of the replacement that they are going to send you. Hold them accountable.

This hasn't hasn't happened to me (yet), and I've had every previous Note without problems, but i don't know why the SPen isn't made from metal....especially since the Note 5 was a big step up in build materials.

That is a really good number. But, I wonder how many non XDA members have had this problem?
I have not seen any one complain about the previous devices S-Pens breaking. Though, that does not mean anything. As there are non XDA members. And some of them could have broken their other devices S-Pens.
I know that the S-Pens is a heavily used part. Heck, on my 10.1 2014, Note 4 and Note 3X, all of the pens get used regularly and heavily. The worst that happened in regards to the pen is that I lost the Note 3 pen.
I do wonder about the machines that make them. If they are shut down at some point. Maybe in the gluing process. Maybe some pens don't receive enough adhesive. And then they are still passed on to the phone for shipping. I know they say that there is a quality check. But not every single product that is made gets checked. Only every so many devices per a determined amount get checked for an overall check.
Any way, just thoughts.

There is circuitry in the pen and it's possible that would not work if the pen casing is metal - as it is used for transmitting a signal to the pen...

Hi everyone. Just thought I would share a link to a good teardown video.

Thanks for the video link. It's a much more informative piece than the iFixit teardown. Interesting that there's a reset button that has been covered up. I downloaded the video for future reference.
BTW, love the dude's narration. Have to check out his video feed.
---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------
Edit: I'm wondering about the possibility of oxidation on the leaf contacts (which connect the three antennas) over time.
I love his video blog as well as his forum. I'm not sure about the leaf contacts... I know my HTC Evo 4g LTE has them for the antenna on the back cover as well.

That's an excellent video. Makes me feel like I know so much more about my nexus 7. More people in this forum need to watch this video. Google/Asus obviously went all out on this device. We see the proof in this video. They got top notch high quality parts for included stuff. I love the fact the battery is easily replaceable. Can't wait till 3rd. Party manufacturers come with their batteries THST will last even longer. The battery being easily replaceable is the biggest factor in increasing its longivity. Its easy for the user to replace. Even easier for Asus/Google techs to replace. Very efficient design. This is not some cheapo battery in here. Then the star of everything is likely the GPS/accelorometer integration in. One chip. This is a very high tech and high quality component. Worlds first and only 6 axis motion. Even has a built in processor for it. Then also dual mode GPS and glosnass reception. That component had so many great and complex features I can't even restate them all. Then by the headphone jack and mini or micro USB being separate, those are likely replaceable also.
What really interested was the possible reset holes he found. One being covered up. The other, on same side, right above 4 connectors, is another hole. Which is exposed and could possibly be another reset hole. Has anyone tried sticking anything in there to see if its one? Or will I have to be the first to try. What I'm hoping is THST its not a second mic hole. He only mentioned THST hole as a possible 2nd reset hole.
Brb, I about to see if it is one..lmfao. wish me luck!
Update: that hole is not a reset hole from what I see. I put something in there and pressed softly. Nothing happened. Pressed a little harder and still nothing. Kinda felt like pressing aagainst rubber as it had some flex/pushback. I didn't go extreme and really force something all the way. As it could just possibly be another mic hole and I don't want to punch a hole through it..lol
So the question now is what about the hole that's covered up by the case? If someone removes the back and test it out, they can confirm whether that one is a reset hole or not. If it is a reset hole, then we could easily mod/punch a tiny hole on the side backing to have it exposed and use when we see fit.
>So the question now is what about the hole that's covered up by the case?

I would tape the back cover before drilling, in case the rubber shreds (I doubt it, but to be safe).
I know I might get blasted for this but, I wonder if in the future there will be a way to buy a camera and plug and play it to work. I Remember the old Samsung vibrant had an open space for an ffc and we ended up being able replace the camera with a int'l galaxy camera and it worked. I just think a tablet of this size is still good for picture taking.

This looks like an interesting approach on external batteries for Galaxy NOTE 2.
I am a bit disappointed since I am sure is blocking NFC and may beloved wireless charging. I may give it a try for the times when traveling...

I had a case that was somewhat similar for my iPhone 3, it was the Mophie Juice Pack Air. I liked it and it definitely came in handy on more than one occasion. I'm kinda interested in this case, thanks for the heads up.

I think I am a bit damaged. First thing I think of when seeing this case "hey, that's a way to save the microUSB plug from wear and tear". My three latest phones of the last 6 years all did develop contact issues after a year or two, no matter how careful I was (too much charging, flashing and modding I guess)
That said, this don't look too bad. Slightly skeptical about quality, both in terms of fit/materials and the battery itself. Not necessarily a bad concept though.

I like the idea. Too bad there probably are next to no protective cases for it. Double the battery is always a good thing though.
well
is a case and a battery. that's the whole idea.

Unfortunately the case gives no protection. Even worse. It makes the device heavier, which means that when it falls on its face, you won't have to check if the glass is shattered. (Yes, that's what happened with my HTC One X!!)

You are exactly right. These battery packs only give a tiny portion of the juices the device needs. Furthermore, the device thinks it's on mains power, so the power savings etc. are not running.
This means the device uses more juice while it does not get it all, so the battery of the unit will not fill up, but run down almost as fast as when no battery pack is connected.
Guys, just get a portable charger. I'm gonna get one for myself.
I would like to put one of this external battery case in to the universal gameklip, which one do u recomend me?
Thanks!!

It blocks s-pen, and makes Note 2 even longer due to that battery extension. I haven't used it, just commenting about the picture. Plus, you will get only 3200 mAh of actual charge on it because conversion through usb connection will make it drop by about 30% due to inefficiency.
I have one of the original N4's when they were released, yellow screen and defective charger. I got an RMA N4 and it looks like they added little nubs to the bottom. Just an FYI

It's nothing major. But the back plate can somewhat be more easier to remove.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Interesting touch, and very smart actually given how many people had their backs crack just from temperature variations on whatever surface they put their Nexus 4 down on. Hopefully that lifts the glass off any surface a bit. Flip side is that looks like it'd be a fitment problem for most cases on the market already.
It's not to cool down the glass, is to keep free the sound from the speaker that was getting blocked when you had the device on a flat surface.

They probably have a whole variety of reasons. IMO raising the speaker off flat surfaces would be a perfectly good reason because it's completely muffled when you put the phone down on its back. They wouldn't change the hardware just for that, but it'd certainly help.

Torx screw you mean.
And going back on topic, if the phone is flat on the table the gap could increase air flow for better cooling and increase the volume too.
Its REV 11, Production date 02/2013 made in Korea. i'm in the US and It still fits perfectly fine in the LG Bumper. The photo is little confusing it was taken with my original N4 with a macro lens. the hole is the torx screw on the bottom.
Awesome! I ordered an RMA last night, should be receiving it sometime this week.
My Nexus 4 died on me Sunday night. Red light of death
Watch as dozens of people cry about their phones not having this, and then come up with excuses why they need to rma their device.
So it has already started, people are loosing and damaging their cradles already. This is going to create a need for a new cradle or another way to charge and sync the unit.
Ever since I first opened the box to my gear I wondered WTF Samsung was thinking with this cradle. There has to be a better way, and hopefully I have found one.
On the back of the watch are 2 small screws. My goal is to use 2 tiny magnets to hold a cable to the back side of the watch via these screws. This will make the cable MUCH smaller and no longer require a massive case to be carried around.
Current status:
Contacted a few companies and have a few different connectors coming in to see what will connect best.
PCB design will all depend on the connector we go with
V1 case design is already started for the housing. I will be printing a few samples out with a makerbot in a week or so and will post up
I hope to have an entire v1 test unit done within the next week or 2. I would have this done earlier but I have a massive fluid mechanics midterm tomorrow then will be heading out of town for the rest of the week for work. I should be back in town on Saturday and will be sitting in front of the makerbot and a soldering iron all day. Please stay tuned for updates.
Also all criticism is welcome, tell me what you think, the only thing I ask is to make it constructive. If you think this is a stupid idea because it will not work for some reason, let me know and why. I am a mechanical engineer with a concentration in structural analysis. I know only what I have taught myself about electronics so I admit I dont know as much as many others.
***UPDATES***
10/31/2013
Currently working on getting sync capabilities working. I have a feeling Samsug did 1 of 2 things
1. Chip requirement like apples cables to allow sync
2. Power on data line
Either way this weekend I should be able to get the sync feature working or at least have parts on order to do so. First run on the spring loaded contact pins were pretty good, but I am going to need something longer. Once the case goes over the PCB board they will no longer be able to connect with the back of the watch. Here is what I am working with at the moment.

Points for effort !
Got the 1st set of spring pins connectors in. They work but will not be long enough once a case is designed for the unit. Back to ordering more $0.08 1/16" pins!
Try to check the thread

Pins which You found seems to be very nice and will work well, but regarding the magnetic mounting - check if the screws are magnetic - if they are stainless steel (which they almost for sure are) they will not be magnetic... so this will not hold... the other issue is if the watch has sensors inside they may not like the strong magnetic field...

I bought the Note 8. The S Pen has a problem with its responsiveness when using it. It's very glitchy and doesn't register the light writing or light touch. With a bit of force no problem and this shouldn't be as I used several earlier Notes before without any responsive problems with the S Pen!
I tried the following without solving the problem:
1. Changed several tips
2. Factory reset
Can somebody help me with this specific problem?

It is the top of the screen which has problems with responsiveness.

I am using the original case, I tried taking it of, I am not using ring, watches or any kind of metal on me or near the phone. No screen protector either. This is just too weird.
