I have the following Android Device:
Samsung Note 3
Model No: SM-N9005
Android version: 4.4.2
Build No. KOT49H.N9005XXUGNJ2
Security software version: MDF v1.0 Release 3
Issue: The S-Pen fails to get any input on the screen. I have tried & noticed the following:
1) S-Pen detachment notification works when taken out.
2) Air View options pops up when pen is detached.
3) Air view options work when pressed with finger but not with S-Pen.
4) S-Pen works fine with other Note 3 devices
5) Other S-Pen does not work on my device
6) Made sure the S-Pen features are enabled under the settings. Tried enable/disable as well.
7) Tried the following testing using *#0*#
a) TSP Hovering: Works fine with the finger & the S-Pen(as a trial)
b) Wacom Test: Doesnt detect the S-Pen input at all.
c) SPEN Hovering: Doesnt detect the S-Pen input at all.
8) Tried to tighten up the screw within the S-Pen as a trial although it works with other Note 3 devices, however, it didnt work !
9) Did a Reboot as well!
10) The phone does not have any magnetic case either! FYI
11) Tried changing the nib with the new ones as well!
Could anybody suggest a work around for this problem? I am not sure if a factory reset can solve the problem, has anybody got that working after a factory reset?
I have all my data synced with the my google account, so with a factory reset, would it be restored back once signed it back on the phone? Will the Apps get uninstalled as well?? Do you think it is possible to re-install the S-Pen SDK or something?
Please advise!
Thanks
Pierre

Try running The self diagnostic mode and test the phones screen.
self diagnostic mode - *#7353#
check if the spen is working on that.

Works with the fingers but not with the spen...damn...somebody help me!
Sounds like hardware fault with the Wacom hardware.

If that's the case then your spen has gone bad. The way the spen works is there is a coil behind the screen and the spen draws power wireless from this coil.
This kinda makes it sure for the problem to be hardware problem not software.
One of two things could have gone bad.
1. The coil itself
2. Or your s pen is not able to take the wireless power..
If you have a friend who has the note 3 then try using his or her spen on your phone. .. That would be a good way to find out if your spen is bad or the coil thing.

Is the coil covered under warranty?

Sorry if its the coil. Think that may be expensive.
Not sure how much the new coil thingy will cost you and not sure if its a part of the device screen...
If it is a part of the screen then they will probably replace the screen.
The sPen costs about 50 $ I think.
If you are under warranty and you have not rooted or done anything with the device Samsung should repair this problem without charging you but can never be sure..
Did you drop the device or something before getting this issue ??

My Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1 has a black screen!Everything else works,including sound and touchscreen,just nothing is shown at all.How can I fix this without going to a tech shop?:crying:
Force reboot by holding power,home, vol up and down buttons at the same time. It should reboot after 10 seconds
Hello everyone.
The last weekend i replaced the lcd screen in my Samsung Galaxy tab 4 10.1 t530 succesfully, but i noticed that there were two pieces of rubber under the screen táctil. I remove the two pieces and then the screen did not turn on anymore.
I did every button combination and a lot of tutorials of internet, and i had the light suspicion about the ribbon lcd flex had been broken in the second lcd lean, althoug it looked good.
And this morning, i bought a new flex lcd, (2-5 euros) and voila, that was the issue, and i have no Heard about it in the net.
I wish this may help anyone.
Regards.
Hello guys,
I dropped my Note 3 in water around a month back,
Half touchscreen is working and hald is not, but with the stick i can use full touchscreen without any issue,
can you please tell me if its hardware issue, if yes then what i need to change in Note3?
What is the issue with my device?
Most like the screen. Different layers recognize pen and finger.
S View Cover problem
Hi,
I have stock Galaxy Note 3 (not rooted). Following a problem, the screen was replaced and then the S View cover no longer works. Lollipop has been flashed by engineers twice but it still doesn't work. I have discovered that the file com.sec.android.sviewcover is missing from the phone. Can anyone supply this file and explain how I can install it without having to wipe the phone a third time?
thanks in anticipation
Steve
Hi everyone,
Yesterday I accidentally dropped my Note 3 into the toilet. I just flushed the toilet by the way
Pulled it out as fast as I could and dried it. Switched it off and took it apart. Clicked of the backcase and battery and also removed the motherboard. The water that got inside was very minimal.
Everything works except my s-pen. My Note regonizes it when I remove the pen and a memo pops up.
When I hover my pen above the screen normally a small circle should be visible but nothing happens. Even when I touch the screen nothing happens. Strange enough my pen works on my Samsung Note 10.1
When I enter my Note 3 into the testmode (with code *#0*#) I have two tests:
- SPEN HOVERING
- TSP HOVERING
The first one does not work but the TSP hovering test does.
I already have reset my Note 3 to factory default but without any results.
What could be wrong with my Note 3? Is it only the pen or something else. Is it software or hardware related?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Try another pen
