My stylus doesn't work after installing CM10. I wiped everything. I do not see stylus input under settings either. Any suggestions?
There is no stylus input as in handwriting recognition in cm.
If that's not what you were looking for I'm sorry, but that's the only thing I can come up with.

did you mean the pen only mode? I am missing it too. But my Stylus itself works.

Well I'm assuming the pen only mode doesn't work. When I press the browser it only says touchscreen disabled repeatedly. However I don't know if it's not working because it doesn't detect that I have a stylus. I can't use the stylus at all.
It might sound silly, but could it be that the battery in the pen is empty?

How to change the sensitivity of the screen ?
I want it to be more sensitive to finger touches so i dont have to apply any pressure on the screen to register a "click."
Is there any way to change this ?
I heard somewhere that when you calibrate the screen, it not only calibrates where you touch the screen, but also how much pressure you apply? Is that true anyone?
Seems true to me, barely takes any pressure for me to use the touch screen.
I had the same problem wen I formatted my phone again, I had to calibrate the phone again and it worked perfectly.

That is AFAIK true.
To recalibrate, go to Start -> Settings -> choosing the system tab -> tap the screen icon.
There, you can recalibrate where you touch the screen and how much pressure you apply to the touches.
Thanks guys.
Just tried to re-calibrate the screen with little pressure by my clicks, and it works better now.

My X1a arrived from a previous owner without the stylus working, so I'm hopeful that calibrating the screen will remedy the problem like it has for so many (altho a handset problem is still a possibility).
However, before I do (which will be after work today), I was hoping to hear why, or how anyone could screw it up, so that I could either troubleshoot the current problem, or minimally not screw up the procedure myself.
This is my 1st smartphone so pardon the newbish query ...

Thanx Squidgy ... my search tumed up this thread only, altho your thread seems to be more about an alternate procedure, and does come up short on why or how anyone could screw up the primary procedure(?)
Edit: I also could have been more clear ... ie, finger touch seems to work well, while my stylus does not ... and that's a bit of a mystery to me(?)
cheerios
I Have found that if you calibrate with finger, then stylus doesnt work so good but if you calibrate gently with stylus, then finger and stylus works far better
try it

Thanx Flub!
My own approach to the procedure (called an alignment) took me around the screen several times. I don't know if it was trying to acquire some minimum threshold of satisfaction, but I might imagine it leading some users to pressing harder and harder. Your suggestion was an impetus for using soft touches only, and the result is a stylus touch that is now very sensitive.

I don't understand what you mean "this post is old"...
The methods described in the post work, and I can't see any other newer versions of that softtouch, apart from the softtouch keyboard which is a completely different app.
As for why you would want to use the 2nd procedure (I don't know how you could bugger up a .cab installation), personally I prefer a quick clean reg edit to installing a cab. But each to their own.

Are you doing it right? You need to hover the pen close the then screen, hold the spen and release it.

The note two's s-pen had two screws under the button to adjust sensitivity so it's possible it could be a dodgy pen opposed to phone, worth a google if you don't want to exchange or they have no stock to exchange.

Problem Solved!
After a few tries i found the sensitivity-setting for "my" S-Pen. My pens sensitivity was to high, so i had to decrease it a little.
Have a instruction video of how to adjust the sens of a S-Pen.
The person in the video had the opposite problem so he turned the screw clockwise.

Hello everybody,
My Spen is not registering well on my note 3 for some reason. I have to press very hard on the screen for it to register. I tried to change the pen's tip but still nothing. Also, I have no screen protector.

You might have a fake Note 3 - which would not be surprising since you have not been able to read the rules of this place and learn that that kind of stuff should be posted in Q/A/Help. After the rules also read the thread about fakes.

If you have a genuine Note 3 reflash the firmware and do a data factory reset. If that doesn`t help its probably a hardware issue and you have to send the device in for repair.

Carefully pop off the button with a small screwdriver (do this in a room where you can't lose it, it JUMPS. Also take care not to break it. You can wedge it under the button in the center.). Then use the screwdriver to make small(it's sensitive) adjustments to the potentiometer (dial) closest to the tip. This sets the sensitivity of the pen.
You can test it without reattaching the button.
It sounds a bit odd, but this is a normal process for a Wacon pen.
Also, giving a good whack on the edge of a table with the side of the pen sometimes helps.

spen problem
Hi what's up I'm asking 4 some help... my Samsung galaxy note 3.... ofter a root my note 3 everu thing was working until about a week ago... I'm not getting no respond wen I try using the spen... all of the settings 4 the spen is on but yet still it's not working at all I also unroot and flash over the stock rom bUT yet still noting change the spen still not working.... plz can anyone help me I'll really appreciate it...
I have the following Android Device:
Samsung Note 3
Model No: SM-N9005
Android version: 4.4.2
Build No. KOT49H.N9005XXUGNJ2
Security software version: MDF v1.0 Release 3
Issue: The S-Pen fails to get any input on the screen. I have tried & noticed the following:
1) S-Pen detachment notification works when taken out.
2) Air View options pops up when pen is detached.
3) Air view options work when pressed with finger but not with S-Pen.
4) S-Pen works fine with other Note 3 devices
5) Other S-Pen does not work on my device
6) Made sure the S-Pen features are enabled under the settings. Tried enable/disable as well.
7) Tried the following testing using *#0*#
a) TSP Hovering: Works fine with the finger & the S-Pen(as a trial)
b) Wacom Test: Doesnt detect the S-Pen input at all.
c) SPEN Hovering: Doesnt detect the S-Pen input at all.
8) Tried to tighten up the screw within the S-Pen as a trial although it works with other Note 3 devices, however, it didnt work !
9) Did a Reboot as well!
10) The phone does not have any magnetic case either! FYI
11) Tried changing the nib with the new ones as well!
Could anybody suggest a work around for this problem? I am not sure if a factory reset can solve the problem, has anybody got that working after a factory reset?
I have all my data synced with the my google account, so with a factory reset, would it be restored back once signed it back on the phone? Will the Apps get uninstalled as well?? Do you think it is possible to re-install the S-Pen SDK or something?
Please advise!
Thanks
Pierre

Try running The self diagnostic mode and test the phones screen.
self diagnostic mode - *#7353#
check if the spen is working on that.

If that's the case then your spen has gone bad. The way the spen works is there is a coil behind the screen and the spen draws power wireless from this coil.
This kinda makes it sure for the problem to be hardware problem not software.
One of two things could have gone bad.
1. The coil itself
2. Or your s pen is not able to take the wireless power..
If you have a friend who has the note 3 then try using his or her spen on your phone. .. That would be a good way to find out if your spen is bad or the coil thing.

Sorry if its the coil. Think that may be expensive.
Not sure how much the new coil thingy will cost you and not sure if its a part of the device screen...
If it is a part of the screen then they will probably replace the screen.
The sPen costs about 50 $ I think.
If you are under warranty and you have not rooted or done anything with the device Samsung should repair this problem without charging you but can never be sure..
Did you drop the device or something before getting this issue ??

Theirs probably little to no support for my phone here anymore but my screen is acting up in a way that makes the phone nearly useless, if for example I tap on an app to open it, the phone will think my finger is still there and act as a long press to move the app to another location when I just press and release to open the app, typing is a nightmare, If I type something then need to backspace itll hold the backspace and delete everything I type, I'm really hoping it's not the digitizer and hopefully it's just a software issue that I can fix by rooting and running lineage or something on it. I am not using a screen protector and the screen is not cracked or chipped, this is how the phone was when I got it and I would much rather use the v20 than my A10e, I really hate my a10e lmao. Any help would be greatly appreciated! PS: Ive already tried a full reset and that did not fix the issue, thanks!

Are you using a case?
Is your usb port dirty?
Hidden water damage?
Is the battery swollen (bulged)? Try using it without the back cover on.
Try running in safe mode to see if any user app is interfering.
Those are my only thoughts besides a hardware issue as mentioned above.

Im not using a case, and this thing has never seen water in its life lol, battery is fine and fits normal, I tried it without the cover and it didn't change anything. i put it in safe mode and still the same thing, im afraid its the digitizer so im going to replace it and see if that fixes it, if not im going to just trash the phone lmao.
