why did it work before?

Maybe you need a specific kind? I tried one from a palm before...didn't work.
Tho I see no point in it. Ha...a pun! LOL. But really....I'd prefer my fingers any day.
Just my preference.

Needs to be a capacitive stylus. Not all are - Samsung Note styli are not capacitive for example

I use a capacitive stylus from MoKo and it works very well on my N7.

How to take a screenshot in ICS?

Just updated to ICS, but the Home + Power for screenshot doesn't work anymore. Volume down + Power doesn't seem to work either. Any ideas?

Hold the button on the S-Pen and press on screen for a second until you hear the camera click sound. This works for me on ICS.
No need 4 spen 2 screencap unless u have it out already just
Do it with touch input
wipe across the screen with your full hand like a karate chop left 2 right
or with ur thumb in a vertical position that works 2

I believe palm swipe gesture is easier than other ways.

I've heard thumb keyboard is good its all up to the user in the end. Personally I think the stock keyboard is perfect at 160 DPI.

I switch between Swiftkey and kii keyboard.. while the kii is still in beta, you get the split layout in landscape and other goodies.. and yeah, both support themes..

Phone makes a strange noise....

Whenever it is unlocked and I place it on top of a card with a magnetic strip. Does this mean that it can use wireless charging?

Dafuq ??
Your phone has a magnetic sensor in it, it's attracting the contents of the strip ... That sound/act doesn't means it is gonna charge wirelessly....
That's all I know....
Well idk how the wireless charging works, I thought maybe it had something to do with a magnetic field. What does the magnetic sensor do?

Now that makes sense I was trying to figure out why something with such a small magnetic field would get a reaction from the device where the magnets from my name tag doesn't when my phones in my shirt pocket....

Ir blaster

Just wondering what other devices you guys are using your note 3 to control. I didn't even know you could use it for things other than a TV. In the xda YouTube video review of the note 3, the reviewer mentioned he was using his note to control the camera he was using to record.

It can control anything that uses IR to receive signals and messages.
How can you use it for other things? Only options in the watch on app are Tvs and top boxes

What would you like it to do?
Of course, I use it with:
My TV's
My Dish Sets
My Projector
My Nikon
And right now I'm in the works of making my garage door work as well.
PD. I recommend using the smart remote app instead of the watchon one.

Best one I've found so far. Simple and quick.
The Watch On app is the one that came with your phone with a fuscia icon and a tv BUT if your signature is right your phone doesn't have an IR Blaster nor this Samsung app

This *just* happened to me too. The device didn't fall, take a hit, or anything like that —*the navigation keys just stopped workning out of the blue. Everything else works perfectly, except the region over the soft keys. Is this really a hardware problem?
If even reinstall dont work.then call LG or rma from google
