Hey,
So the S pen remote control feature worked just fine in the week I got my Note.
But this morning I pulled out my S pen and I got an alert that says I need to reconnect my pen to the phone. I tried to do it, I tried to reset the pen to the phone, I wiped all cache, I wiped all data and cache of aircommand, I soft restarted the phone, and reset the settings to default. The only thing I didn't do yet is to reset all data. and I don't want to go there.
Is there any solution?
I don't think a full reset is gonna work either. I'm facing the same issue for two days now and have tried everything including resetting the device ?

Btw did you figure something out?
Have you reached out to Samsung? This would be covered by warranty if it's a hardware issue.
The SPen connects via Bluetooth. Do you have any issues with other Bluetooth devices? If not, it may be the SPen itself.
Have you tried turning on the S-pen feature in the drop down menu?

When I click on a phone number hyper link which takes me to the dialer or just simply put in a phone number that I want to call, the first attempt fails (no exception). I need to redo the typing (meaning I have to ask for the phone number again) or get back to the website and click on the same link for the 2nd time and then the "Call" button actually calls the number rather than clearing the number and not doing anything.
The 3rd, 4th and so on, attempts are find and I don't know what triggers the bug again. Maybe putting the phone to sleep for a certain period of time or something that I have no idea about.
I checked the stock dialer apps I have on the phone and there are 3 of them (maybe since I upgraded to lollipop and all)
Dialer v6.3.842521
Phone v6.3.84.6049
Phone v6.3.857190
I have a stock Android 5.0.2 with HTC Sense v6.0 and recently factory resetted the phone which didn't fix the problem. The only app which interferes with the dialer is the Avast Anti Theft which uses the dialer to accept a phone number (pass code) which takes the user to the hidden Anti-theft app. So, say, if I dial my hidden code 1234, and press call, the phone takes me to the app rather than actually dialing the number 1234.
Hi, May! Did you manage to solve the problem? I've got the save issue. And it's very annoying.

Solved. The problem occurs with the app zadarma sip installed and only when Wi-Fi is turned on. I've deleted the app and now everything is OK

Hey man,
I honestly never managed to fix that annoying annoying issue and since my M7 also had that famous purple tint issue I have eventually ended up changing my phone to Huawei P8.
Good luck

Recently I got caught in a downpour and my phone was in my pocket. My work email requires security restrictions that wipe the phone after 6 failed unlock attempts. The water caused the phone to think it was trying to be unlocked which then initiated the wipe. During that, the phone then shutoff completely mid wipe. Now, the phone turns on but more often then not there is no display. I can tell it's booting because it will disconnect and reconnect to odin, and I can flash stock firmware but there is no display. What I don't understand is, randomly the screen comes back. But as soon as the device is turned off, it won't come back.
The phone is disassembled and I have access to the battery if needed.
Primary question: Is there anything firmware related that can cause the display not to function at all or is it more likely a hardware issue?
Any tips or suggestions?
I also hv almost same problem with galaxy s6. But in mine case it just don't display anything for some hour. After that it works like charm. During weakend when i'm home there is no problem but elese when i'm at work problem happens.

Your case looks to me water damage.. some components on Morherboard are fride or something like that.
Hey guys, I am having an issue with my 6. Around a week ago my phone randomly rebooted and when it started up, I noticed the Account Action Required (2 of them for both my emails) notification just sitting on my status bar. I've clicked and tried to login. After clicking on, "I agree" the checking info screen pops up then it returns to the home screen but still not logged in. If I try through the settings, it would do the same but return to the accounts menu. All my contacts disappeared and what not. I removed both accounts and tried again. Same problem. It's been a week and have not been able to find a solution despite searching for hours on forums. I don't want to factory reset since I've read worse stories about sign in issues at setup. My second multiuser account works fine with the email address sign in and sync but not my main. I'm out of options and stuck without any of Google's services. I'd appreciate any help. I'm on PureNexus w/ ElementalX rooted with MagisK if that helps. I've been running all this for half a year without problems.

I had this problem also last week (with Vanilla). There was no other option than wiping the device

EDIT: about the " I don't want to factory reset since I've read worse stories about sign in issues at setup."
keep "OEM unlocking" in 'Developer Options' enabled at all times!!!! ENabling this also disables some security features (like the 72 hours lock out).
same happened to me, tried everything I could think of, uninstalled layers mods etc, nothing would work , had to wipe data and do a clean install

For the second time in the last month or so, my phone decided to delete all the bluetooth devices. I have to re pair all of them. This happen to anyone else? Pie, AT&T.
Not just you I was just about to post something similar until you post showed up. I reset my phone completely a while ago to see if that helped and it worked fine for a while then did it again. So much of a pain not to be able to connect when leaving for work in car. I may look at the ATT forums today and link to your thread.

ATT Reference as well.
I'm getting it all the time, my watch, headsets and car all lost and it seems to be whenever I restart the phone. I have also noticed that when one headset is connected and then the battery needs charging and I swap to my spare I have to repair again, but not just pair I have to pair it to my watch first then to my phone again, very strange! Never had this issue before and like you both I have reset my phone and even updated the firmware in the hope it would fix.
AT&T replaced my phone a couple weeks ago because of this, even though I bought the phone from samsung.com. Hasn't happened with the new phone yet, but with it happening more frequently now, i expect it to start again.
I have an old Z4V I'd like to use wifi only. I did a factory reset and now I get stuck at the google Find My Devices screen. i have wifi.. can get into various google apps through the menu, but cant use any drop down menus nor any phone settings at all.
Any ideas?

...trade me for a Tango development tablet or a comparable and working phone(?). You need to get to a subsetting menu directly or to a search field that can lead you to the settings where you can both turn on debugging & unlock the bootloader so you don't brick it and create/delete user accounts. Never factory reset without deleting the active account first. You've tripped something that can't be fixed without replacing the previous login with nothing by luck and interface loopholes or a service image and means to apply it, for which you have neither, and since you've also compromised the checksum of the system partition but have no persistent root/debugging pre-boot interface or recovery, if you bork the (you're too lucky) dalvik cache, you will have the most obscure and useless brick I know of. try to trigger accessibility options through the keyboard if you can get it to appear or by pressing keys like the touch doesn't work...that or go to the Google legal crap and click any hotlink that you might come across and hope it gets you somewhere that searches if you can't get to any subsetting that leaves settings in the recents tasker... there's a few more possibilities, but honestly, if you aren't wanting to use it as a CDMA capable phone, sell or trade it to me for something infinitely less inconvient to use at all and so likely to become irreparably borked by attempting to anyways

...seriously though; don't do anything silly like resetting it again without being certain FRP is unflagged by all user data being gone before the reset. If it reboots and checks it's own integrity the fuse may trip and lock out any and all means of it booting at all ever again, it won't even try to load and there will be no means to restore a working recovery or bootloader to get it to where more than the backlight and maybe a single character come on the screen or it just says an error and doesn't even try to do anything else no matter how you turn it on
I've recently reset my phone 2 weeks ago, I was on the same condition as you but only difference is my phone is locked out and the screen keeps blinking/flashing. What I did was I switched to a guest acc on my device and login google etc there and disable FMD and My Xperia at device admistration in the phone settings. After that, I try switching back to the default account which I was locked out then reboot my phone and try to login again and it works.
Hope this helps.
