S-PEN feels loose - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.
Anyone with the same problem?
I'm just concerned that it will get only worse.

My note 4 have no problem with spen
Try factory reset

I had that problem this morning. I took my case off and reinsert the pen and now it's nice and sturdy again. Maybe the pen wasn't inserted all the way?

I double checked and it's all the way in. If I'm the only one I guess I got a defective one ...

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?

[Q] Is everyone's S Pen really hard to get out?

Is it? Cos mine will not come out with fingernails! I've gotta get my teeth in there! It's really stuck in there. Anyone??
it's not hard, once you get the hang of it
it does hold better than the previous NOTE 1.0
that one was too easy to get out
i like it as it is now, no accidental drop out
Mine is a bit hard to get out aswell, but not too hard once i havent bitten down my nails too much.

First few days I literally had to stop what I was doing, rest my phone on my lap and turn it over to pry the s pen out. I can now get it out easily as I would with my note 1. You get used to it after a while or it just takes some time to break in

S-pen stray lines

A picture is worth a thousands words
I have circled in green the correct lines, in red the stray ones.
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.

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

[Q] Capacitive Back Button Sensitivity

I noticed that the back capacitive button is not as sensitive as the multi-task capacitive button. At first, I thought I wasn't pressing the back button at the right place, but after testing it, it turns out that the bottom of the lit area requires much more pressure before it registers a touch. I compared it against the multi-task button and the Galaxy Note 3. Unfortunately, it appears that my Galaxy Note 4 capacitive back button does not register touches on the bottom half unless more pressure is used. Interestingly, the back capacitive button responds to the slightest stylus touch.
I do have a Spigen screen protector on, but it does not affect the sensitivity of the multi-task button, so I figure it doesn't affect the back button, either.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Thanks in advance.
I dont feel like mines sensitive enough either sometimes.i have to press twice
I thought I was going crazy staring at every press on the back button. I have the same issue. Have to press it more then once. I just used my spen and noticed that the top of the back button above the arrow does not register a touch. The multitasking button does on the top and bottom.

Glad and sad to know that I'm not alone. It looks like a hardware issue to me, but it might be something that affects most of the phones. I'm waiting to see if other people reply to this thread without this issue.
This issue is annoying, but it's not worth exchanging if I receive a unit that's the same, worse, or has a bad screen (I read a review where the reviewer said his unit had dead/stuck pixels near the top, though it could be a review unit concern). I'm going to the Sprint Store to check out the display unit to compare it against mine. If the display unit has a proper back button, then I might consider.
Checked out the display unit and its back button was far more functional. Exchanged mine and the newer one also has a better capacitive back button.

Mine is also not as sensitive as I'm use to. Maybe it's meant to be that way though? It's a possibility Samsung did that to reduce the instances of accidental back button presses, but that's just a wild guess.
That makes sense but why don't we have many people complaining about it? Is this a real issue or people are thinking they are not pressing the button correctly.

I'm sorry to hear about that. I had a Spigen Crystal screen protector on, but it did not affect the sensitivity, as the multi-task button worked perfectly. It was definitely a hardware issue solely. I applied another Spigen Crystal to the new phone and there are no issues (it came in a 3-pack).
I don't think many people are complaining about it because it's only affecting a small percentage.

I don't think that it's intended. When I took it back to the Sprint Store, the sales rep tried it out and instantly recognized that it was defective. The display unit and my new unit both have proper sensitivity.

Same Issue Here
I am having the exact same problem with the back button... my struggles with getting it to work properly led me to search for others with the same issue. I'm glad that I am reading that it is not all the devices and that exchanging the Note 4 for a new one may solve the problem, as it did for a previous poster. It is frustrating that the local Verizon store does not have them in stock, and doesn't know when they will... so I guess I'll wait it out - kills the high of getting to play with/setup the new Note 4...:
OK I exchanged mine today will report back. So far it seems a bit better but not by much. Also replaced phone and got one with a gap. Oh well rather gap then a bad back button.

What kind of gap does your new phone have?
I have seen that screen uniformity issue in both the Note 3 and the Note 4. As far as I can tell, every Note 4 is going to have it to some degree. I was pretty upset about it with the Note 3 and exchanged it for one that wasn't as bad. I noticed it on 3 Note 4s, with some being worse than others. I hope you're able to get an improved one!

The gap is around the top left corner. Not bad but the first one I had was pretty much gap free. Doesn't really matter that much cause I have a case that covers it. Out of sight out of mind. So the back button seems to be better with new note. Glad I made the exchange. The only thing is that I lost my glass screen protector. Didn't want to take it off cause it would be useless to me anyways. So I applied a screen protector from my note 2. Works great covered the entire screen. The only thing it doesn't reach to the top. Just something to hold me over until I get some news ones. Also this phone seems to be much quicker than the last one. Could be a placebo effect. I also lucked on a new charger and spen tips. Guy at best buy left charger and tips. I just exchanged phone. :thumbup:

Galaxy Note 5 If S-Pen Is Inserted Wrong Way, Will Break Clicking Mechanism

S-Pen Warning
To all Note 5 users, please be aware of how you insert your spen.
If you slide the spen in backwards, it will get caught and you will not be able to recover the clicking mechanism. The pen will come out with force, but it will become broken in the process.

It's true, and the worst part is that spen literally doesn't work, because the phone thinks the spen is inside. That is a pretty bad design flaw

Also please take mine and the op work for it. Mine was barely in half way before I realized it was the wrong way and stuck. Some people maybe be lucky and get away with it, do you really want to render the spen useless, or even take a chance
I was reading this and it took me a minute. The clicking end was slid in first? Not sure if people need a warning for that. Sorry for your loss nonetheless.

Damnit! I just did this while reading xda. I just got this phone on the 22nd. Is this an issue with the S-pen or with actual phone? I'm wondering whether I should just return the phone and get a new phone...
I see what the OP means. Without the Samsung writing facing upwards the pen seems much harder to remove with some form of force. At least from what I just noticed ymmv
I believe OP means putting the pen in with the clicking part first, and the tip of the pen sticking out the bottom. My understanding is that the clicky part gets lodged inside and cannot be taken back out without pulling very hard and breaking it off of the pen.
Yeah can anyone provide some clarity on what OP is trying to say? Does he mean putting the pen in backwards as putting the pen in with the pointy side in first with the Samsung logo of the pen going in facing the camera side of the phone or what?
If you go into spen settings and disable spen detection you can still use spen. This maybe a no Brainer but I haven't used a note since note 2. All my phone's since has been nexus 5, HTC m8 (google play edition) and Nexus 6

If you insert the spen with the clicking mechanism first, the clicking mechanism gets stuck inside the phone and when pulled out with force, breaks off the clicking mechanism rendering the spen completely useless forever, unless you tear open the phone to retrieve it.

Youve redefined the definition of n00b. Congratulations.
If it doesn't break off the end of the pen it will definitely break the small micro-switch that tells the phone the pen is removed. Kind of odd that it's even possible to stick it in backwards. People let their kids use these to doodle on.

On the note 3 and note 4, you can insert the stylus in backwards with no issues. I tried to see if that was the case, but it wasn't the case.

I keep accidentally pressing the power and volume buttons

It's like this phone was made for lefties. These buttons are poorly placed and really sensitive, and I keep activating them, especially when i pick the phone up. I had a Speigen tough armor case on my note 4 which flattened out the buttons, and made them less sensitive to press (you'd have to really press them to activate them, on the 6p they activate the moment you touch them).
Does anyone know of a similar case like the one I mentioned for the 6P? this is my only issue, otherwise i love the phone, but it's a very big issue, and I'm considering a Note5, or holding out for the Note 6 if I cant resolve it.

You can use any case and simply make sure to shorten the button parts on the inside of the case. This will decrease the sensitivity.

Just got the first case, it's the RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper , and it completely solves this issue. You have to really press the buttons to activate them, otherwise it is nearly impossible to accidentally do so. I'm completely satisfied, I doubt I'll find a case which better resolves this issue, although I have a few more on the way , so I'll report back on them when they arrive.
The only minor downside to this case, is it has no back, which I normally wouldn't mind at all, except that the 6p has a very slippery back, , and my fingers slide a bit on it if I'm not holding the edges really well. Mostly this is a non issue since I almost always only hold the edges, but i do need to be a bit more careful when using the phone one handed.
I'm really impressed, and I'm never impressed.

Just got two more cases, the Google Nexus 6p case, and the Adopted protected case. They are both very similar, and great cases. Both also resolve the button sensitivity issue. Great fit on both, they both are slightly tacky on the sides as well. The only real difference is the Google case has some kind of weird industrial carpet type of material on the back, and the Adopted case is plain rubber/plastic. I like the Google one slightly better. I'm also waiting on a back protector for the Rhino bumper, which is also a great option.
