Why does it behave this way? It is no even co sistent, that is it does not happen always on the same spot
I get that too, don't know why.
Me too

I think it is happening because the pen is not communicating with the screen properly. Meaning that when you lift the pin up instead of pulling it straight up you're pulling it slightly at an angle and the pen is still close enough to communicate with the screen.

Exactly, im thinking that too. Or atleast it looks like that when writing. It's annoying but you can live with it - i dont care show much about it when writing, but when drawing it is awful.

Might be the damaged SPen nib.My one was kinda wearing out so it justs does crazy stuff.Try replacing it to see if it works
Its not damaged, don't waste your money on a new one. It's Samsung's fault as they didn't fixed all the bugs in the firmware when they developed the product. I have lots of friends that use Note in school and everyone has this problem. That includes n8010 n8000 n8013.. The solution is either try using LectureNotes and apply some of the built in filters or try to teach yourself how to write in a way that there are no nibs. Also, be aware that some parts of the screen are more affected than other parts.
I think i might have insight here..
I recently looked into dev settings on my nexus 4 and set 'show pointer" out of curiosity. It is very interesting how the systems tells you not only the coordinates of the pointer, but the change in x- and y-coordinates, aka the speed of your finger as you glide. It also extrapolates where your finger would end up based on that speed, much like a momentum simulation.
I think whats happening here is that as you lift, you might flick the tip just a millimeter or so but at a high speed and the system extrapolates the line quite unnaturally. I might be wrong here tho, its just a theory.
Edit: looking back at the photo, notice that the lines happen as you lift the pen and not as you set it down..

Happens to me too. I don't think that everyone here doesn't know how to lift a pen when they stop writing.
That doesn't make sense. It's a Samsung issue that I hope they fix in the next update.

The original samsung case shouldn't give any problems,. but try taking it out for a while and see how that goes.
If not, call Samsung Support.
So far, I'm not able to replicate the stray line issues here, but my case (some generic flip cover with an elastic band to hold it shut) does not have magnets because I was concerned about the effect on the s-pen behavior so it could be that.
However, in terms of a fix you could try adjusting the sensitivity of your s-pen itself.
CAUTION!! you may damage it by doing so, I'm not responsible etc etc, do at your own risk !! ---
The click button along the side of the s-pen (with the ridges in it) is remove-able and underneath it is a screw you can adjust (in very small increments please) to adjust the sensitivity of the pen. The screw NEAREST the pen tip (there are two screws next to each other) is what you would adjust --- going CLOCKWISE to DECREASE sensitivity, and COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to INCREASE sensitivity.
I adjusted it to be slightly less sensitive as my pen was registering on the screen sometimes without touching it --- it appears that the tail-ended portions of your E's may also be a result of over-sensitivity.
YMMV of course

Some weird S-pen behavior was brought up in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1935657&page=3
At first I was not aware (like most of us?) that my pen too suffered from these flaws but I decided to try it and discovered that I too could indeed replicate the "errors" mentioned.
I think it is time we bring some light into this matter so here is how to test if your phones S-pen behaves erratically or not:
- Go to your dialpad
- Enter *#0*#
- Press 'Wacom Test'
- Draw long diagonal lines from upper left to lower right. Also try drawing in the lower right (and left) corners.
- Press and hold the pen-button while pressing and holding pen at screen to take a screen-shot.
- Result is stored in Storage/SDCard0/Pictures/ScreenShots/
My belief is that all phones share this "flaw" and that those saying they don't, simply haven't tested it properly. But this is just my guess and I may be wrong about this.
Anyway, please give it a try and report your results here.
Here is a link to an image showing the problem:

Oh there is a whole bunch of waves on the right side of your screen-shot. They are very subtle, but they are there.
They will become more visible if you draw longer lines and at slightly more than 45 degree angle.
I went to a mall today and tried their Note II and just as I expected it had the very same "flaw" when I tested it.
So I believe the people claiming not to have this issue, are either not doing the testing the same way as described, or simply not noticing the flaws.
It is not a big deal for most users of course.
But for people doing a lot of drawing it can be quite bothersome, since these "flaws" will affect all kinds of drawing in a subtle way, not just when drawing diagonal lines.

The tip may seem a bit wonky, but I am now pretty sure the waves comes from some kind of (magnetic or otherwise?) "interference".
As I went to the mall to try out their S-pen, I noticed a HUGE wave-bulge in the middle of the screen! First I thought that some customers had just poked the screen a bit too hard, but then I flipped the device over and discovered an electronic(magnetic?) anti-theft-gadget attached to the exact opposite side of the device, where that big wave-bulge (looking like an onion) appeared when drawing.
I even took photo-proof of this. I'll try to upload them here if I can find the time.
Here are photos from the mall.
One photo shows interference in the shape of an onion.
The other photo shows the security-device on the back causing the bulgy waves.
Maybe this will help someone with more technical knowledge deduce what causes the "normal" smaller waves on all our phones?

Hmm, Wacom active digitizer pens are affected by magnets so it's not surprising that large bulge thing happened in the store.
Don't know if it's the same thing with the Note2 screens though. My Note1 has a similar issue in the very top left corner (you can't draw straight lines there).
Supposedly even metal parts near the screen can actually affect the writing ability of the Wacom digitizer but the driver is supposed to compensate for that. Perhaps the driver isn't calibrated as well as it should be.

Due to religious events, I was busy, but I can confirm that the fault is with our S-Pen, I went to Phones4U and tested their device, and used their pen on my phone which did not produce the same lines as my pen does. I will upload photo's later. I will contact Samsung on Monday.

Interesting. I was almost convinced that this was a problem on all Note II's.
Please do upload some photos. Will be interesting to see.
Where is your Galaxy Note 2 made from? Mine from Korea and no problem!
i don't see this problem on my note 2, maybe your hands are shaking?
if you're having problems with choppiness, light touches, or having to press hard for your pen to register a touch you can adjust the sensitivity easily.
this search for a fix started when i found my gn2 would stutter when getting into the "zone" and start randomly causing accidental touches. from the gn2 forums i found that the sensitivity can be adjusted via a potentiometer in the pen itself.
on my gn10.1 i found the pen too sensitive. in order to draw the thin lines i had to almost hover over the screen and in doing so i ended up with choppy thin lines. after decreasing the sensitivity i can now draw consistent thin lines after adding just a smidge of pressure.
to adjust the sensitivity you'll need to remove the cover of the click button. a razor should do the job. the fastener is on the back end (towards the samsung logo). a little upwards force and it'll pop off easily. after removing, you'll see two pots. the one on the left is the one you want to mess with (dunno what the one on the right does).
using a small screwdriver turn the pot clockwise 1/8 a turn at a time to decrease the sensitivity, counter clockwise for increase. find the setting that suits you the best and reassemble. this trick kept me from making a trip back to the sprint store and exchanging a phone (no replacement stylus yet).
How did you find out about that?
it was in the gnII forum. no pics there though. he just said pop off the button and adjust the left potentiometer. thought i'd elaborate a bit here.

yep, it just pops back on. put the little notch under the front (towards the pen tip) first then snap it back into place. i've done it with my gn2 and my gn10.1 s-pens so far. i'm pretty sure all wacom pens would be able to be adjusted the same.
Just another little tip while removing the button. Place a piece of scotch tape on the bottom portion of the button. The first time I removed it with a razor blade, it went flying towards the kitchen. Luckily it landed in a dirty glass instead of down the drain.
Great tip!!
Could you please show some photos of the button?

Don't own a screwdriver small enough. Will try getting one tomorrow. Since putting a screen protector on I find the s-pen less sensitive ; hopefully this will help.

I had an old Lenovo ThinkPad one where I had lost the button and used a rubber pen grip to use with my note when I first purchased it, the sensitivity and offset issue prevented me from using the pen and I had never thought about adjusting the potentiometers until I saw this thread.
I adjusted the sensitivity as detailed and it worked! I still had a problem with the offset where the pen had too much of a distance from nib to where it wrote so I thought to myself, maybe the second potentiometer that we were told not to adjust will resolve this problem and then thought that I've got nothing to lose with this old pen and gave it a shot.
I can confirm that the Pen now works flawlessly as the other potentiometer did indeed adjust the offset.
I now have a pen without the button for when I take intensive notes and no longer will be pressing the side button by accident which used to screw up my notes and was annoying, now it's a thing of the past!
If anyone wants to adjust the second potentiometer, my advise would be that you use the right size screw driver and make small adjustments, test and readjust as per the op.

I got my tablet a couple months ago and it had been working great up until around ~4 weeks after I got it. Perhaps I didn't notice before, but my spen periodically creates "tails" when I end my strokes. (Picture below)
I've tested a few apps (including snote) and it seems to happen in all of them (except layer paint!). I doubt this has anything to do with the tablet itself... I'm more suspicious of my spen's pressure sensitivity being wonky.

Just wondering, do you use a case with magnets in it? Some users have reported the magnets interfering with the wacom digitizer
That behavior is not characteristic of magnetic interference.
It's more likely just the pen tip not being completely lifted fast enough.

It may also be the sensitivity of the spen that is causing it......

Yeah sorry lol, I sent that one from my phone.
It is Samsung's official book cover case, I tried taking it off and it still seems to make the same stray marks... I followed up by adjusting the potentiometer and yet again, the same marks... with a less sensitive stylus.
I always wanted to buy a better stylus anyway, so I might do that and see if it helps resolve the issue... well at least kind of resolve =/
yes, it's just the stylus. Same happens on mine depending on how you handle the pen.

Have you tried factory resetting? I had some bugs that I ironed out with a factory reset. If that doesn't fix it, you might need to take it back to the store
Sounds like you might have some gunk in the pen tip area. The system recognizes contact by reading the amount of pressure applied to the tip, so if something is obstructing the natural movement of the tip, that could lead to inaccurate pressure readings.
I'd try using the included tip removal tool to remove the current tip, blow down the hole of the S-Pen to dislodge anything that might have gotten in there, then try installing one of the new tips.
If that doesn't do anything and you have the same results, you might have to take it back to the store. If you do take it back, ask to try a different S-Pen and see if it still has the same issue.

I'vehad the Note 4 for a few days and the S-Pen feels quite loose to me. It can even move around a 1mm when in its silo.
I compared it to my friends Note 3 and it felt very tight. It also feels much more tight when inserted with no movement.

Try putting the pen in with the button facing down. Seems if it's facing up, it does jiggle a little.
It actually feels more firm with button facing down. But it doesn't solve the problem completely in my case
lol, same story here. just wanted to create a tread...
i have 3 note4's at the moment (due to display problems): 2 of them have loose spen, at one device it sits tight like on my note3!
a solution is to put one or two layers of transparent tape around the silver end of the s-pen, although i do not prefer this method
as it looks not good...
I decided to return my device on Thursday since it was actually bothering me, but funny thing is Samsung is still claiming it is not a defect and studying my case. They even went as far as show me another unit with the same problem.
I really hope upcoming batches will have it ironed out.
Does anyone know a solution in fixing the loose s-pen? The one with tape doesn't work out well, and is not really aesthetic...
Have you tried comparong inserting the S-Pen with the button facing up and facing down? I had the same problem on my 10.1 2014 and it was much tighter when the button was facing down in the case. I know it's not a solution, but it might help.

Do about 20 jumping jax with phone in hand. If the spen slips out of place its a defect.
You could then argue it has s heath and should allow you to run with device.
Mine is snug, my Note 3 was a bit loose but it never fell out or anything. I guess if it's inside the silo and doesn't slip out with normal usage it's not a defect.
i added now one layer (one wrung around) of clear tape (which i do not like aesthetically!!), and now the spen sits tight.
button up or down didn't change anything for me...
now, with the pen tight, the device feels a lot more "solid", so for me the loose pen is a defect...
maybe adding a point of glue would also do the trick, i will experiment a little with that...

Please don't use glue in your brand new device. Get it exchanged!
Can someone define 'loose s pen'? I put mine in pressed in all the way. If I wiggle my finger on it, it slight jiggles, but not to the point where it falls off. I have never noticed this on any note before. I wouldn't say its a defect, but more of an annoyance.

Sounds exactly like mine, I can wiggle it a bit, but it still feels like sits there and won't fall out anyway..

If you put it in the other way its snug. Or at least mine is.
S Pen included with my Note 4
Hi i have 2 seperate questions about the S Pen. 1st. Has anyone removed the button on the pen to try to adjust the potentiometers for sending the pen thinner or thicker? I saw a pic of a note 4 S Pen with the button removed on this forum somewhere 2 days ago & it showed the pen having 2 round very small adjustable screw like things & they where explaining which way to turn the front one to adjust it, but I removed my button just to look at it & in my S Pen there is no adjustment mechanisms at all & there's only one round thing total so I'm just curious to see whether it's the same for all note 4 buyers or not?
2nd. I thought I heard something about Samsung developing & very soon making available for sale a newer updated S Pen for the note 4 & note edge to include Rotation & Tilt which was originally supposed to be included with both phones on release days of each. Does anyone know any info at all about this?
