Hi everyone,
I wonder if I'm going crazy, but you're supposed to be able to turn off S Pen detection when the S Pen is holstered. However, on the lockscreen this doesn't seem to be properly implemented. What I did was to holster the S Pen with that option turned on supposedly to reduce power consumption, then take my Note 10.1's S Pen and hover it over the lockscreen. I could then clearly see the watercolour effects as if a finger or S Pen were being dragged across the surface. However, the device will not unlock. I have to say though, that my device is a lemon - the screen has blue specks and streaks on dark areas so I'm waiting for Samsung's response to my case. I don't know if these two issues are related, but... is that option to turn off the S Pen detection actually working properly? Could someone else with another wacom stylus please try this and see if the device continues to detect the S Pen at the lockscreen even with that option on?
Cheers
Is there a way via root or ROM to permanently disable the stylus? It's currently causing headaches where if the stylus is in or out of the holder it keeps detecting it being removed and inserted rapidly, causing the keyboard to minimize and to wake itself up from lock.
Is there a way to just straight up disable its ability to know its there? Or make it always thing the stylus is inserted?

You can disable the pop up window in settings. That way it will only show the little stylus icon on the top left corner, and not pop up the app menu.
Also, mine is getting weird too, where it thinks the stylus is removed, even when it isn't. I ended up taking the nose of the stylus apart, backing out the threaded insert in the silver part, then putting it back together. This lengthened the stylus enough that it will register again and solved my problem, at least for now.

Try to disable it in user level software. If you're desperate you could remove the driver being loaded if you have root access. Do a search for any config files that specifically mention the stylus insert sensor. Other words, do some research on what that driver is called if there is one. Don't disable the DirectStylus driver as that may remove touch screen functionality.
Dont think it would remove touch screen functionality:
if you enable the "stylus only" mode, you can still use the screen with your fingernails. anyway, you cant do pinch2zoom gestures with stylus+fingernail in "stylus only" mode, so i guess they got different components running for stylus (wich only accepts 1 input) and finger.
no guarantee, just guessed.
Any solution with this?? It is driving me insane. The thing is that I haven't taken it back to the retailer because my warranty is void (unlocked bootloader) and I wouldn't want to pay a ridiculous amount of money for something I could as well fix myself. Any information would be appreciated, cheers.
I have a big problem with my Note 4. My S-Pen works when I hold it above my phone and swipe across the screen. It may sound good, but is a big problem when the apps is moved and it is impossible to write something on the keyboard. The phone is not rooted. I bought Note 4 for the sake of the pen so I would like to try being helped and get rid of the problem. Some tips?

Sorry, but I can't understand what did you mean
explain further "when the apps is moved and it is impossible to write something on the keyboard"
If you're still in time to do exchange, just bring it to the store you bought it
Sorry it's hard to describe.
When I hold the S-pen above the letters on the keyboard it writes. I don't need to push the screen. It's like use swipe but not touching the screen. When I point the S-pen at any widget for example on the homescreen the app doesnt open. It moved around instead.
Sensor of pressure is in pen, so try move it a little or slightly pull pin or try to exchange it using provided tool in box. Maybe it's stuck.
I can recreate your situation if I push pin inward with nail 1 cm above screen so it move app icon around.
Perhaps try turning the enhanced sensitivity off.
Hi, perhaps the s-pin tip has gotten locked with dust or something. Se if you can move it and unlock it.
Regards
Anybody having a problem with s-pen? I'm on Beans' rooted 4.4.2 from stock 4.3 and my s-pen won't work on screen. The phone detects the pen as I can hear the notification when pulling the pen out and reinserting it. Also, if the Air Command setting is turned on, the widget will appear when pulling the pen out. It just seems like the screen doesn't detect the pen. I've even tried numerous pen tips. The same pen does work fine on my note 4. Thanks.
try a different s-pen. the little "battery" in it might have died. the sound comes from a switch inside the note that moves when you slide the pen in/out

The S-Pen doesn't have a battery...besides which....he said the pen worked on a Note 4.
The S-Pen gets its power from coils behind the screen. If those go bad..the pen doesn't work.

Thanks guys. Since its not the screen...does anyone know if the coils can be replaced?
So my spen tip keeps getting stuck inside the pen. Into and always clicked position.
So if in scrolling a page when I take the pen off of the screen to go to top top and continue to scroll down, or vice a versa, when I lift the pen, the device still thinks I still have the pen on the screen.
This is infuriating, because I use the pen for everything, from swiping to note taking etc.
The only temp fix I've found to this is to stick on the tip and it works for s few hours.
(For those that don't believe the tip has any sort of movement, hold your pen close to the screen so you see the dot, than use your finger to press then pen. It will act like it's on the screen.)
