i notice tha s pen is not calibrated, i mean it is not exactly very accurate, its about one mm above from the contact point.

Some people say that is problem from spen, not the device.

I found that when I rotate the device and let the screen face to the ground, the spen can remote control some area. I happened to found this when I lie on my bed.

Yes it happens to me too. Doodling while in bed was one of the reasons I bought the Note.. I've just ordered a new s-pen. I'll let you know if this changes the note behaviour while facing down.

this is pen dependent: i had three notes (each of them had another display defect), and at first i thought this was device dependent, because my first one was very sensitive (as you describe it here), my second one the total opposite. my third one was something in the middle...
then i bought the pen (with holder) from amazon, and with this pen the "feeling" when writing etc. was much more perfect. because i had the second note still available i tried the new pen with it, and it behaved totally the same as nr. 3 when using the same pen.
so my conclusion is that all this is much more related to manufacturing differences of the pen, not the note.
still, a function for calibrating the pen would be very usefull...
2 additional things:
first, rumour is spread that with ICS this should get better, because ICS has native support for (inductive digitizer-, like our wacom) pens!
second: the screen is able to distinguish between hand and pen input (standard capacitive pens would act like a finger, so there wouldnt be any difference), you can see this in the service menu: dialer *#0*# where the according tests only react to finger OR pen!
why samsung didn't include this function into s-note is out of my understanding, as it would make it a lot easier to write...

I don't know if it's coincidence but this problem begins when I put a screen protector.

How to Adjust Your Samsung Galaxy Note's S-Pen Sensitivity for Better Touch Response

Got this Info from Google
Touchscreens are all the rage these days, and it seems that the stylus has become a relic of the past thanks to newer and better fingertip responsive smartphone displays. But when it comes to phablets like Samsung's Galaxy Note line, the added S-Pen is definitely helpful for more accurate and precise actions (and a less greasy screen).
Of course, there are disadvantages of using an S-Pen too, one being hardware issues. Unlike your finger, the S-Pen can malfunction and become a huge problem, not giving you that precision it once used to. So, if you're having problems with choppiness, light touches, or having to press hard for your pen to register, you can...
Smack It
I am a firm believer of the "if you hit it, it shall work," theory of the mid-80s. If you hit any malfunctioning device with just the right amount of force and anger, its usually fixes the problem. And that goes for the Note's S-Pen, as well.
Take the S-Pen, and slam it decently hard on a flat surface. It's that simple. Now if that doesn't work, you can take a more technically and less-forceful route to help fine tune your Samsung S-Pen...
Adjust the Potentiometer
The potentiometer is an electro-mechanical transducer that converts the movement of your stylus into electrical resistance (or something like that). Basically it's what makes your stylus work with your screen.
And guess what?
You can open up your S-Pen and adjust the meter yourself, no matter what S-Pen it is.
This will work for the Samsung Galaxy Note's, Galaxy Note II's, and Galaxy Note 10.1's S-Pen—or pretty much any other stylus with a button. This will not work on any regular conductive styluses without buttons.
You will need to take off the click button on the body of the S-Pen. You can just pop it off with a razor. And don't worry—it can be put back into place without a problem.
Once this button is off, you will have access to the potentiometer.
The potentiometer on the LEFT in the picture above and below is the one you will be adjusting.
Using a razor or small screwdriver, you can turn the potentiometer clockwise to decrease sensitivity and counter-clockwise to increase it. Test it out and see if it works to your liking, then put the button back on.
This tip could also work with a bunch of other styli with buttons, not just the Samsung branded versions, but will not work on regular conductive styli, since all that they do is simulate your fingertip.

how about potention meter in the right?
What is it function?
correct me if I'm wrong

Interesting Tweak:good:

Thanks for this! I tested it and this has improved the pen sensitivity... though there's still lag. And according to Andreilux this has something to do with the binary of the rom. I hope developers will work out some calibration tool for the wacom drivers. I created a thread yesterday.

These two pots look like they are in series here, which would probably make them Coarse (Left) and Fine (Right) Adjustment. However has anyone thrown a multi-meter on this to read the resistances?

Thank you so much for sharing this!

Confirmed working on the Note 3 Neo.
Thanks.

thanks for the info ~~

A "Palm protection"-like for the SGS7?

Coming from SGS6-Edge, sometimes my palm or fingers holding the device would trigger any icon which is close to the edge of the screen.
Now with the slightly larger device, I find it more annoying; sometimes my palm or the fingers which hold the phone would trick the phone to think I did click on a specific selection right next to my fingers that holds the phone on the sides.
In tablets like surface and iPad, there is a logic to sense that the touch is not a finger but a larger surface contact. I wonder if there is any app which can help and make sure that unless the surface contact is as small as a fingertip, do not treat the contract as a press/selection. Anything like that exists?

I find this annoying as well. When I used a Mophie battery case on my S6 Edge the issue was greatly reduced due to the chin on the Mophie giving a nice place to grab the phone that distances your fingers from the virtual buttons, but now with my S7 Edge and a regular case I'm having to re-train myself to be careful how I pick it up.
This is actually one of the reasons I'll prefer the S7 Mophie when it is released to the Samsung battery case - Samsung went with wireless charging so they could avoid the chin, but I find the chin to be a feature, not a bug...

galaxy note (edge) app on S7E

ok, so I held off for a while moving from my Note Edge, I kind of need to be able to take a screen shot of my kids homework my wife sends me while on the road and make corrections to it. on the note I can use 2 fingers and zoom in and out or move to a different part of the screenshot when I move it with 2 touches.
Using the S Pen is ok, but not a necessity.
Any thought on a good app for this, I have looked at several apps on Play and none do the above.

Favorite Thing About New Phone?

For those who have already received their device, what is your favorite thing about it coming from your old device? Also, do you have any dislikes so far? For those who are still waiting, what are you most excited for?
I'll start, I am coming from the Note 5, and have had every Note in the series except for the first. I will be pairing this with my S7 Edge and rocking both at once. My favorite thing I am looking forward to is jumping into a pool with both in pocket, and watching all my iPhone friends having heart attacks. And of course just having all the new S-Pen features and getting my 256GB Micro SD card. Your turn!!!

Notification panel is a lot easier to use, no more long pressing...

Came from a Note 2. The new S Pen is nice. I woke up this morning and started entering stuff in to S Health. The screen is nice and bright and the resolution is awesome. The phone is incredibly fast. I enabled developer options and turned off all of the animation scales. I also changed the built in content scaling from large to small to take advantage of my young eyes. The iris scanner is a cool idea but as of right now I don't use it as an option for my lock screen. I can either use a pattern or the finger print from either of my thumbs. The edge feed is cool. I reordered it to show my step count first and then notifications. The HRM (Heart Rate Monitor) sensor on the back below the flash is a cool feature. It works in conjunction with S Health. You can also use it when the phone is flipped on to it's face to ignore a call and send a message by holding your finger over it for 2 seconds. So far the phone is pretty sweet.

Damn, coming from the Note 2? This is a huge upgrade for you then. I hope you really enjoy your time with it. I literally just got it in hand and I am loving it so far. Really nice and sleek.

Yeah a big upgrade for me. My Note 2 is still pretty solid considering its age.

Being able to write a memo without unlocking the device is pretty sweet. If I need to write something down right away, I just pull the spen out and go.
Of course I also like the water resistance.

I came from the Note 5 also. I've owned all the Notes, except the first one. What drew me to the Note 7 was the IP-68 dust & water resistance, the new s-pen and the 256GB SD offer. BTW Verizon sold me the new Gear VR for $49.99 with proof of purchase of Note 7.

I really like that you were still using the Note 2 - it speaks of its endurance and usability!

My Note 2 is a solid phone. Still using it on WiFi. I did however burn the 6 crown towers from Clash Royale in to the screen though haha
