Is it only my Note which have an dead angle?
Il attach 2 screenshots how near i get to the edge of the screen.
First on with my finger and second one with my s-pen.
Edith:
Red one is with my hand.
Black with s-pen

Not sure what you mean.
The touch input works only on 97 percent of Notes screen.
The right edge and below doesnt recognize the input.

When I do the Touch and S Pen tests using the *#0*# testing menu on my Note, touch is fine and there is a tiny 'dead' spot in the lower right corner for the S Pen.
In comparison, your 'dead' areas seem quite large.
Well, mine is doing the same, the bottom/right is not working as it is supposed to. Should i get a replacement?
The first picture is for the S-pen the second is for touch...
There is nothing wrong with the screen its the way the software calibrate.
Try changing to left handed and you can write on the right edge but not left.
For the bottom most try turning the screen up side down then you can wrtie on the toppest (bottom) of the screen.
The s-pen is calibrate to be not on the center of the tip of the pen but somewhere above and abit to the right or left depend on your setting (left or right handed).
I went to samsung service center for this. The symptom is worse w/ the charger plugged in.
Their explanation is that the point of sensitivity is not the tip of the pen. The way the pen works is that you can imagine a laser pointing directly from the top of the pen. Therefore, if you want to see how it actually works, write w/ the pen being perpendicular to the screen. The technician showed me and it made perfect sense. However it is kind of strange holding a pen in that 90 degrees position.

Tell the technician to change profession to politician. He can manipulate ppl very good. I have wrote a essay for this issue. I guess your technician is the brother from the guy who did write the spenn programm because he didn't move the point of the spenn tip but he moved the axes of the spenn recognition area. So if you are right handed and you configured your spenn to right hand, you will not write on right and bottom if you left handed you can not write on left side and bottom. I guess the Same guy made the gamma-brightness curve. Send him a MEMO. Because sMemo has a rand and he tested spenn there and it works fine the offset overlaps with the yellow rand on right left bottom sides.
Hope it helps you

i have been doing quite alot of drawing on my note and i find that they could have improvement the spen much more than they have done.. i few things i find missing or just lacking
- no matter the app the pen if set for L/R handed only appears to support portrait drawing, by this i mean, i have the pen set to left handed and when i draw a line and turn the device around when in portrait the lines i draw are off set to the left of the tip of the style point by a few mm.. but as i switch my phone around to the left/upside down/right the lines are off set wrong so that u draw and the drawing is not lined with the point of the styles.. why dint they offer a half way position to solve this?
Can you draw on the left side of the screen when holding the phone on portrait mode?? Few devices as I know can't draw on the side they picked on S Pen configuration for the hand they use. On my note on left side I can't draw near the edge of the screen about 2-3mm and on right side 0-2 mm depends from the position top or bottom. Have confirm that for 4-5 devices and Samsung dissent know aka didn't know till I mailed them they are searching if it is hard or software problem

It seems not to be working good indeed, but one thing that sorts the problem is to tilt the phone so the accelerometer detects the orientation of the screen and then draw the line, this way the tip caches the right place no matter if you draw in landscape or portrait, still its an extra step and I'm sure there must be a better solution driverwise.

heres a pic im working on but i could have really done with being able to use the g sensor to chance the phones angle, cant wait for them to into this

As a left-hander, the S-Pen SUCKS.
I've set the phone to left-handed, but that isn't the issue.
The phone expects the user to hold the pen at an angle away from the user, and that's where the screen registers.
However, many left handers hold their pens at an angle TOWARDS themselves, and the S-Pen is off by nearly HALF A CM!!

Tell me about it...
It's so irritating
are you sure you got it in left hand mode? i have mine set to my left hand and tried writing with my right. was off like you said (to the right). tried again with my left hand and it seemed fine.

I have it set to left handed.
When changing the settings to right-handed and using my right hand (I'm a little ambidextrous) it works fine. Nice and accurate. Mostly because with my right hand I hold the pen at a conventional angle.
However, many lefties don't hold their pens conventionally (habits picked up by the necessity of avoiding ring bindings, minimising smudging, etc). Look at how President Obama holds his pen:
http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/images/200901/20090126ho_lefthandedobama_330.jpg
See how the nib of the pen is angled TOWARDS him? The Note thinks it's angled away and puts down a line in totally the wrong place.
Even with my slightly less unconventional left-handed pen hold, it's WAY out (no matter whether the unit is set to left or right hand use, though left is slightly less awful).
How hard can it be for Samsung to provide a calibration app?
Right now, the Note is a phone unsuitable for a President!
Do you find any difference when you change the screen orientation then back again?

None at all, unfortunately.
I find that no matter what I do with the pen it always seems to write half a cm above where I have contact on the screen

SPen uses autocalibration feature, which unfortunately goes off after some time. Which is a bug by itself but not the point..
Everyone complaining about pen being way off try this:
set it to whatever your hand preference. Please phone on flat surface like a table and reboot phone. Do not shake or touch it too much. Open SNote and try to draw around grid lines, you will see that pen works perfectly with tip being exactly as expected.
However more you use pen more it will deviate off until reboot is needed. It happens especially fast if you are using it walking, upside down etc.

Interesting (though it didn't help in my case)
But it the calibration goes off after time, then there is even more reason to add a calibration facility.
I reckon that only happens when you're using landscape orientation and then you turn off autorotation without first returning to portrait orientation. Try turning autorotation on, setting it to portrait and then turn it off. That should fix it.

Thanks, but it really is nothing to do with orientation in my case.
It's ALL about the angle at which you hold the S-pen.
It expects the nib to be angled away from you, whereas I hold a pen with the nib angled towards me.
Hey Everyone,
I do this every now and then, wondering if everyone else does.
Let's say I'm using the phone one handed, web browsing or something and I need to reach a button on the opposite bottom corner.
Rather than stretch across the screen, I just rotate the phone 90 degrees for a second. The screen rotates, and the button is now directly under my thumb. I click it, rotate back and move on.
Yes, the Note still sucks sometimes as a one handed phone, but this does help out every now and then.

oh thanks nice idea
another way is to curl your finger around the back of the phone...I did try this, and looks really funny if you're watching from afar
I guess I just have big hands. The way I hold the phone, I can touch everything to the right of the blue line.
Ha.. same here. I've got big hands too. One overseas colleague once asked me if that is a S2 I'm holding.
If I'm holding the phone, you can only see 1/4 of it from the back. And only 1 cm separates my thumb to the closest finger when I hold it.
This is particularly useful if you're reading in landscape.

another trick for zooming during browsing with the stock samsung browser is to simulate 2 fingers. usually you can zoom in and out by putting them on the screen and overturn the phone.
so instead of using to fingers, just put your thumb on the left side of the screen, so that a small part of your palm touches the screen on the right, which simulates an input^^
i hope u understood what i mean
I never hold my phone 1 handed. I'm too afraid of dropping it. But I'll try your advice if I ever need to
How does the Note III know you have a finger hovering over the screen, and where it is hovering over the screen? So we are being told the entire screen has a built-in proximity sensor and how does that work? I am waiting for the Galaxy Note 3 and an currently using an S3. The S3 has a proximity sensor but that I believe is only a tiny hole up at the top of the front of the phone - not the whole freaking screen!?!?!?!?
Very confused, must be magic or made by the Gods.... ??? LOL
Anyone can shed any help on this?
I think it does have some sort of prozimity built in the screen.See S pen...you can select without even touching the screen.
A digitizer is a device that creates a small electromagnetic field and then measures disturbances in that field. Thus knowing when your finger touches (disturbs) the screen (and electromagnetic field)
In the Note 2 there is a second digitizer that detects the different way the S Pen nib interacts with a magnetic field at a distance, and thus is able to show where the S Pen is hovering.
In the Note 3 they use similar technology but is now able to detect your finger at a distance instead of just the S Pen nib.
I think I got all that correct, if not... someone will correct me
And, if I am wrong
Must be magic or made by the Gods
Magic to impress your iPhone friends.
I miss this so much, it's like optical "mouse" together with main button on HTC Desire, one of the best features in decades. Seems that last time we could hover over screen was Note 3 and S5. Sad.
My pen seems to be increasingly inaccurate. In some areas of the screen, when I hold the pen over the screen, the on screen indicator can be about a centimetre or so away from where the pen actually is over the screen.
There's also far less sensitivity in regards to how far the pen can be from the screen on the far left and far right of the screen and,the very bottom right and left of the screen don't seem to pick up hover activity at all.
Once the pen is TOUCHING the screen is seems to be mostly accurate, it was definitely closer to the mark when I actually bought it.
Is there any way to calibrate or reset the pen sensor?

I simply bought a new s-pen on Amazon and the problem was solved.

Smack your S pen in a table with it still on your Palm. (not too hard). Or you can try (not recommended) take off the button and turn up the sensitivity. There's a link to this in detail give me a few minutes and I'll edit this post with the link.
