Hello guys.
I have been using s note hand writing recognition for a while now but today it stopped working.
I checked with a colleague at work who has a note 3 he had the same problem,
I also called some friends who owned a note 3 they all had the same problem.
I would like to know if you guys (note 3 owners) are having the same problem as well?
I just tested this:
1. Open S Note
2. Write something
3. Mark the text that i wrote
4. Click "Transform into: Text"
and it worked! Is this the same you are trying to do but it is unsuccessfull? Or anything else?
Just let me know and i'll test.
I am doing exactly the same steps that you mentioned and am still having the problem; what makes me crazy that yesterday night it was working fine and plus four other galaxy note 3 owners are having the same problem today.

I've had a problem when entering hand written input to S Planner but Action Memo is fine.

I tested this and it is the same for me aswell! My steps above works, but when i try a google search and type nothing happens. It should be automatically transferred into text but the written text is not changing at all. I can paint a horse with no way of delete it other than take down and open up the "keyboard" again.
So wait - is this some kind of online service? Isnt it translated locally on the device?
Edit: To conclude, it works in some parts of the phone but does not work in others.

Action memo is working fine every where on the device what does not work is hand recognition in samsung keyboard.
If you point on the searchbox with your pen you get a little square. Point at that and google search works perfect.
Its been discussed in Q/A, if you set the date back to the 28th sept it will work again as before.
Seems to be a bug.....not good start!
Not working after factory reset

Yes it works!
You can change the brightness from the home screen without change any option or install any application.
Press on the notification bar (not open it) and after shows up with the date, just swype left or right to adjust the brightness!!!
Here is my video on youtube to see how it works:

Welcome to 2010 lol. (sorry!).
I think the correct way to do it is just to hold an area on the notification bar (not swype). left is less bright, right is more bright. (at least on latest fws it works like this).
This has been known since éclair. You must have auto brightness off for it to work though.
Thanks for sharing anyway, original thread has probably been lost in the folds. I'm sure there are plenty of new sgs users on here all the time. It is still one of the best smartphones on the market today, and now it's dirt cheap.

Although i agree that it might be handy for new users... There is always room for irony or as in this case sarcasm i believe. I rated this find a single facepalm.
I had the phone for one week and didn't knew about this...thanks for sharing!

Thanks for this useful tip
Works on JVQ
Yesterday I got a Google Now update to show the Sport Teams and Public Alerts. Somehow the update screwed my Weather reporting. When I open Now, I get the ususal Weather card with proper weather in Montreal:

}
When I tap on it, instead of showing me the current location, it displays Washington DC? WTF
I remember that previously, it used to redirect me to a google.ca URL and now it goes stright to a google.com URL:
Also, when I search for something on Google Now, the search results are stuck at the bottom, instead of scrolling all the way up like they used to:
Reverting back to old version solves all problems:
Not happy at all. I did a factory reset of the tablet, hoping it will solve the issues, nada, nicht, niet. I also reset the Chrome and Search apps by removing their cache and other stored data. Anyone knows how to fix this? Apparently, to properly report the weather location, the URL needs to go to google.ca instead of google.com one. I would appreciate some help with this issue, thank you guys.
OK, more updates on this issue. The ONLY way I was able to disable the Chrome setting that pushes the verification to google.com (instead of google.ca) was by disabling my US VPN connection, then resetting both Chrome and Google Search apps. Now I have an option in Google Search > Privacy & accounts > Search on google.com:
Still, I'm not more advanced... Now the weather is reported from Quebec city, instead of Washington, heh. No Montreal love... and is such great city:
Apparently, this is ongoing for a while and no developers reported a fix to the Google Now bug.
Does anyone knows where Google Chrome user profile is stored on the tablet?
Idk what's wrong with yours but I use mine everyday and haven't had a single issue with it. Just go into apps and clear there data for chrome and see if that helps

I guess you missed the part where I cleared the cache several times and also formatted the tablet entirely, ehh?
Are you using precise location?
Yeah I'm using the where I am option. I don't know why yours isn't working. Are you in or outside of the us?

I'm in Montreal Canada. There are other people in States who have the same problem:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35465
I noticed that on my Galaxy Nexus phone I did not have the Precise Location dot marked as blue... and it asked me to "Use Precise Location". As soon I did that, my phone started to report wrong locations also. The card is correct, but Google Chrome is not... now both on my phone and tablet.
Yeah I have no idea I just did one by asking how's the weather and I works fine. Is your GPS enabled?

Mine is fine too. Looks like you got to reflash the stock rom or whatever rom you were using

Guys, did you actually read my post? I'm on stock ROM and I did a factory reset, as well many app resets.
I have no idea how else you want me to put it... obviously everything is stock with all default options enabled.
Anyone else having issues with using the s pen to do things like write text messages? When I begin to write, the app never recognizes anything and converts it to text. This worked fine prior to root.
I checked for samsung keyboard updates. I already have the latest one. Is there a process I may have frozen that gets tied in with it?
I use this all day at work and I'm rooted and have not had any issues at all.
Does it recognize that the pen is out? Go into the keyboard settings and ensure "Pen Detection" is checked.

Yes. I can use the pen for s note, air command, etc. Pen detection is not turned off. Even if I write the text with my finger, it shows up, but never gets translated. See below.
I would prefer not to restore if need be. I went through titanium to see if i may have frozen something that uses this functionality, but no dice.
EDIT
Ok, I went ahead and did a factory restore. Still rooted. Still not working.

If I can remember correctly there was another post about this somewhere. I had to uninstall the keyboard updates then reinstall then reboot and it has worked since then. I'll check and see if I can find the post for ya after I get back from eating lunch with my daughter.

I had this issue originally and the recommendation I found was to update "Samsung keyboard Note 3/10.1". When I looked it was already up to date, so I uninstalled it and reinstalled the keyboard. I think I may have also needed to kill app with the keyboard open before it started working.
Maybe this will help

I have a new Galaxy Note 4 instantly updated to Lollipop 5.0.1 and the very center zone of the screen is literally dead to finger touch, the right edge of the screen is dead too I have some register: (I did reboot, soft reset and hard reset already, didnt work)

Now comes the weirdest thing ever (or maybe its common, I am not expert), but when I place a finger in the edge of the phone (not even the screen edge, just over the metallic edge, like just grabing the phone with one hand), the center zone of the touchscreen works fine and the problem is solved, but the right edge is still with problems, and it is not solved with this strange "finger in the edge" workaround, look :
(If I place other finger in the screen instead of the metallic edge, it solves the problem too)
This is a new phone, is this a issue easily solved and common ?? or I should just change the phone using the warranty ???? Help please, this is a new phone should I ask for another new one without this issues ?
please someone help me with the giant pictures, I messed up that

The only time I have seen this happen, is when the wrong recovery has been flashed after rooting.
Maybe an OTA update caused the problem.

Did the upgrade to Marshmallow a couple of weeks ago on my Optus SM-910G (build number MMB29M.N910GDTU1DPF4), and ever since the whole bottom of the screen was nearly useless, requiring multiple presses to get keys registered, Swype was useless, stock keyboard pretty useless, but with the s-pen, it was perfect. When I opened an s-note action memo and zig zagged from top to bottom of screen (by finger) without taking my finger off the screen, I found two dead areas, 1/3 down top left where it didn't really harm much, and a big big zone on the bottom about 10mm high and nearly the whole bottom section where it required multiple swipes across to get some of the area "drawn" on. I tried a factory reset with no improvement at all (except battery life LOL).
Just found this TSP tip today on another forum, gave it a shot, and yay, screen perfect again! Thanks XDA (the tip ending up on androidcentral in an S6 thread where my googling about Note 4 touch screen problems took me for some reason).
This is a quick guide to show how to enable the smart call feature included in some versions of the Note 7, according to the website. Learn more about smart call feature here: http://www.samsung.com/global/galaxy/apps/smart-call/
First download quick shortcut maker from the Play Store.

Second navigate to the third phone setting.
Third scroll all the way down to the circled setting. This sitting right here will get you where you need to be to enable Smart call feature.

Mine was on by default due to the 10 day trial and then it was switched to the off after a notification saying I could pay for the service, trial expired. I enabled it again with apex shortcut and it works great. We will see if I get charged premium charge.
Oh snap this is a paid feature...
Not sure where you found the trial. I searched and nothing came up on my phone
Sent from my SM-N930P using Tapatalk
The trial popped up when I activated the phone. I didn't accept the agreement, but it started anyways. After I reenabled it, I checked my account and I don't see any charges yet. It doesn't work for all numbers though (not the phones fault, number probably masking info)
I have it on and it seems like it doesn't work. I got a few bogus calls that it didn't filter.
This did not work for me. Then today I was poking around in the settings and got it to work. I went into Applications in settings and then in the top right enabled system apps. I scrolled down to smart caller ID and clicked it. I went to permissions and enabled contacts.
Anyway an hour later I got a call from a family member from their home phone. I do not have this persons name saved in my phone. It said their first, last, and middle initial right on the screen. I was like wow it's working. So naturally I went into package disable pro and turned it off LOL. I tested it again with the same caller and this time it didn't show their caller ID, only their phone number. I tried to re enable the feature and have not been able to get it back since. If someone can try these steps and see how it works, maybe we can figure it out.
Kept messing with settings and it started working again. Rebooted and it went away.
Yeah this is definitely not working. The option to identify unsaved number Era is on but when I get a call from a unsaved number it doesn't identify the number.
Not working for me either.

That's not an easy thing to do without root, but possible I guess. You think we should flash the csc from the international version? The only way I know how do it is with Odin.
