Galaxy note 10.1 have hidden proximity sensor for smart covers like iPad

As the title says write *#0*# in dialer and you can test it, its called grip sensor located at the top right near the camera by about 1.5 inch , move your hand over it and It will detect your hand ,let the developers benefit from it

Yes but tablets don't have proximity sensors (other than 7.7,7plus ) and it seems functioning only in the test menus so I think Samsung hide It for some reason as they haven't announced it in the official specifications , by the way have you tried it yourself

Does it have a SIM card slot? If not, there's no GSM radio and therefore no dialer.

N8005 has sim slot but no phone functionality. So to enable it flash any n8000 rom via Odin

As I said the software makes no benfit from the sensor (dunno why) but you can test its existence in the test menus by typing *#0*# in the dialer then choose grip sensor

No I tried it with no luck the function seems to be disabled by the software , and I think that they are afraid from apple patents war , that is why I opened this thread to make developers tell us how to benefit from this sensors, anyway have any on (other than me) tried it ?

If you own an iPhone or iPad do not use them near the note, if detected by the proximity sensor... the blaster will destroy them

The only news about a "grip sensor" on Samsung's device was revealed on Samsung Continuum Device which was a device with a 2nd display on the bottom released in december 2010... that display, show info about weather, news etc when you press the Grip sensor without wake up the first display..
I can't find other function about this "grip sensor" ...

I hope the developers can do something with this. maybe sooner, we can have smart cover. I don't know why but i fancies the iPad's smart cover. Just the cover though. lol. :laugh:
I thought the iPads smart cover used the magnets to wake it up

[Q] Digitizer pen does notwork on the lower middle of the screen

Writing with the pen does not work in the lower middle of the note 3 screen. All over the Screen you get a easy writing experience but in the lower middle of the Screen you have to impose very high pressure to get any Response from the Screen. In my opinion the note 3 is not usable for People which like to use the pen Funktion I tested now 3 Note3 in different Shops. All of them had the same problem. Is anybody of you affected by this Problem too????:crying:
No mine works fine

mine works fine too, had also 3 devices so far, s-pen was ok on all three!

S Pen on multiple devices

l used to be able to use the spen from my Note 10.1(2014) and my note3 interchangeably. Somehow I am no longer able to do this anymore. pretty annoying if you own both devices. Anybody figure out how to enable this again?

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...

Not really sure. If it's in the middle then it could be crt off effect. But your phone must be rooted to do that

Try the test menu and check your display. Possibly a screen issue.

Type * #0* # (no spaces)
Then check the screen. -- possibly just a screen effect though if only when locking/unlocking.

I'am having the same problem aswell. It is really annoying. My phone is just 2 days old.
Edit: I have contacted to samsung and they toldme to bring the phone to a service center. I've been told I have a rigt to request a new phone or refund. I couldnt decide what I want to do. Because I really like this phone but there are alot of problems whit it. Apart from that screen problem. My phone freezes and restarts itself ramdomly and there is a problem with wifi connectivity

[Q] Pen works but phone does not recognize it

N9005
My pen works on other devices but does not work on mine.
My phone alerts me when I pull the pen out but does not show up when I try using it on my screen.
The indicator doesn't show up either
This happened a just recently I have the latest firmware. The phone is not rooted.
