Have you disabled pen detection when S Pen is in its slot in the settings? That's an energy saving feature I guess but obviously you don't want it if you use another stylus.
Ah that's it! I overlooked that option it seems. It would also explain why it would work when the spen is out of its bay

Hi friends, I want to show you all... note 2's hidden feature we can call it Air Touch (by this feature you can use your note without touch on its screen through SPen) n hope you'll enjoy this amazing feature... n also let me know how many of you know about it... n if you like this, plz press thumbs up
I've uploaded it on youtube n
Here is the video link

hidden
not its not
Well, for some people, it's not "air touch", it's "S-pen way too sensitive" and it's a problem
(see that vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viDDKGPj2FI)
I guess you tweaked the potentiometer of your S-pen so much that it reacts without even touching the screen ?
BTW, I guess you've lost air view function by doing this, right?
Oh

I thought it was some hidden feature of note 2
I liked it very much its cool and samsung should placed one more button to activate n deactivate this air touch feature n its more fun then air view

Well, the possibility to activate/desactivate this feature could be a great idea indeed, but I fear it depends on the potentiometer of the S-pen. Maybe another button on the S-pen to activate this feature could be a good idea for the Note 3
Was it out of the box for you, or did you unscrew the S-pen potentiometer to get these results?
(for me, it was just the contrary, the S-pen was not sensitive enough, I had to press the screen pretty hard to get it working, I had to unscrew the potentiometer to get a smooth S-pen. I haven't tried to get results as yours and I'm not sure my S-pen could do this even if I tweak it more)
Well I dropped my SPen today
And found this feature accidentally
Its quite simple if you press your Spen tip little inside then this feature activate... for deactivation pull it little out
But its fun to use it
Now its like some high tech magic wand

Hi I hv seen new galaxy s4 video
It has a air swipe feature... where you can just swipe your palm over screen n it'll change the photos, videos
May be samsung will add this feature air touch on galaxy note 3
Sent from my GT-N8000 using Tapatalk HD
Not as convenient but you can get the same result by holding the tip of your finger over the nib of the spen.

This is a pretty old feature which I was using on my old Nokia, it was a 3rd party application that used the front camera to detect the motion of your hands over the screen and swipe photos or pages. Nothing new and certainly not a samsung innovation.

Well thats why I want Samsung should put a button that can activate n deactivate this feature when needed... so you can use both features simultaneously according to your use (air touch n air view)... because note2 has capable hardware

So you broke your spen for this to work

Looks like Samsung has a simpler solution. ..
Even easier just slightly hold your little finger on the nib and this works

I guess that's something we'll get with the next update (hopefully). That is assuming it's got to do with camera rather than any other sensors.
I don't think airview will work well with your finger as your finger or a capasitive stylus requires too much real estate to register. Where the s-pen can be very selective due to it's size.
This has been made on some devices, but I'm not sure the Note II's screen is compatible.
As far as I know the Spen has an onboard transducer that communicates with the phone, so unless you embed a transducer in your finger it's not gonna happen anytime soon.....lol.
I think he means the same feature on s4.
It should be possible for the note 2 as well unless the screen technology on s4 is something completely new.

My apologies - I did'nt know the S4 could do that, but I'm pretty sure the note 2 talks to a transducer in the Spen - read it somewhere.

My note 3 Stylus works just fine on my Surface Pro..
Not really answering my question though xD
Try taking the stylus out of the note 10 first. I bet they turn the wacom off if the stylus is seated...

I have my note 3 in a defender case and the spen seems hard to get out where the note 2 had something to grab it by like a lip.is there an easier way?

There is an indentation all the way around the Spen so you can easily pull it out. I'm not sure what the trouble is, but I can remove my Spen quite easily when I need it, and it is secured quite well when I don't.
So if you jailbreak iPhone 5s/6/6plus you can unlock the phone by just putting your finger on the home button without unlocking the screen. Is it possible with some tool in Samsung Galaxy s5 by just swiping the pad without turning the screen on making the phone unlock?
Thanks for answers

I would totally like that if it is possible, and think it won/t use too much battery as if it is only the print sensor on, I hope somebody can help us with this.

Yes its a very awesome feature and I think its possible if some dev looks into it. I dont have S5 atm but I am considering buying the phone if this is possible
As of right now, there is no mod that allows this. but i'm sure sooner or later some dev will get it to work, as the posters above me have already said.

It will take a hit on the battery since this feature will be emulated through software since the hardware restricts it. For that to happen we have to modify the kernel to make the cpu stay awake at all times at low power. It's just like the Double tap to wake feature that is also sort of "emulated".
