S pen doesnt work - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay. Now let me explain this a little more. I know that the s pen on my phone works. ( tested it on my friends note 4, used another note 5 s pen that i know works) well none of the s pens work on my current note 5. I have searched and this seems to be a unique problem?
All of the s pen settings are on. I have 5 1.1 android version. Idk how to post pics of everything as i am a new user. Thank you!
Also i already did a factory reset.

If your phone is new you can exchange it

Useless S-pen

Hi guys!
I'm so disappointed with my S-pen on my Note!
I mostly bought it for the big screen(movies, youtube), and browsing. Both of these tasks are clearly awesome with it, but I never thought that the pen will be such a letdown.
All those youtube draw videos are fake, as it is impossible to use the pen properly. The actual line I draw is always misaligned a couple of milimeters to the top from the tip of the pen the way I hold it.
I realised I have to hold it in a certain way to draw where I want to which is not the way it should work!
It defeats the purpose of note-taking, e.g. using a ruler for straight lines or drawing with it, as the only time I don't move my wrist around is when I write.
The application found on the market(touchscreentune) to calibrate the pen requires root permissions, and I think it only works again for only one certain wrist position.
Now with all these above I can't see any use of the pen, so please tell me :
- do you have the same problem, or is it just me?
Hi,
Strange. For me its working absolutely fine and great. I just tried it again in S-Memo application and its working as it should.
I am currently on XXLQ2 rom and it was working fine also on XXLA6. Everything stock and never rooted.
Seems like your sreen calibration is wrong and I don't know what you can do yourself to fix it, sorry.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Mine works just fine.
Thanks a lot guys!
I have XXLPT ICS as well, never rooted or tempered with. Does it work for you perfectly fine when try to write with your pen from above? If yes, then it might be a screen issue for me and I need to replace it with warranty
If you root your phone you can install a tool to adjust calibration on the pen. Not all wacom digitizers or pens are exactly equal. Its odd that there is no calibration tool in stock GB or ICS ROMs.
Apps is called TouchScreenTune. Its a trial and seems to work well, but you have to buy to keep the settings. Its a $5 paypal donation.

HELP PLEASE! SPEN sensitivity issue.

Hi everyone,
So I got my brand new note 5 yesterday. It's a gift actually. I love it till now specially cause I have been using a note 3 since quite some time now so the note 5 seems like quite an upgrade.
The issue is that my spen isn't working properly. I don't know why but it requires too much pressure in order to write something. The hover feature and the button work perfectly but when you want to use it to write or to scroll or when I want to touch it to the screen in order to select something or draw etc it requires too much pressure. I have tried changing the nibs but that doesn't solve it. I used the spen on my note 3 in order to check if it was the phone or the spen and the note 3's spen worked fine on my note 5 while the spen of note 5 required a lot of pressure in order to write on the note 3. I even checked another note 5s spen today on my note 5 and it worked fine. So I'm sure it's my spen.
In the previous versions of the spen, removing the button on the spen showed a small screw which was used to adjust the sensitivity of the spen but in this one that sensitivity is not present beneath the spens button and removing the button on note 5s spen shows up nothing and instead ends up removing the button which I then had to put back using some scotch tape.
So does anyone of you have any idea how to adjust the sensitivity on the note 5s spen because I don't want to spend $35-50 on purchasing a new spen.
Thank you for reading through this long as essay but in my defense, I didn't know how else to explain the whole problem. Thanks in advance.

Hovering feature stopped working after recent update

HI All

Please let me know if there is any solution to it.

Try another s pen, note 7, 4, 3, FE, at least to check if a s pen issue or a digitizer one

Galaxy or pixel rom for p30 pro

Hi,
I have been using this phone for two years and it still works flawlessly but I would like to give it a refresh. So I was looking for some ROMs in the forum but for some reason I don't see anything else than LineageOS. I remember times back 9-10 years when nearly any phone had at least a dozen of custom ROMs available, so I was looking to convert my phone software to samsung(preferably)/google like but with keeping the drivers so I don't loose the super fast charging, camera features/quality, fingerprint reader. You might ask, what's wrong with the current ROM, well, some features for example interfere with Dell mobile connect/microsoft my phone making it unable to reply to messages, problem with syncing etc.
Thank you
