S-pen removal or insert not detected - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys, I've got a Note 4 N910F which I've just fitted a new screen to for my mate, I flashed the official firmware this morning, and the s-pen was been working great, but now removal or insertion are not being detected, I've just flashed the Emotion custom rom, and that has made no difference either, the S-pen works, i can write with it and control apps etc it just wont detect when I remove or insert it, any idea what the problem could be please anyone

You could try to download these app " Note Buddy (S Pen Helper) " , but i dont know if it work because i have not try it yet. Let me know.

Yep, its really strange because the pen is working too

Hmm. Maybe the S-Pen detection (hardware) isn't working anymore. Kinda reminds me of the S Pen gate of the Note 5.

My first thoughts exactly, I'd assume it hardware if it doesn't work after a clean wipe or flash.

i have seen many used note 4s in the market that had the same issue, its a hardware problem. when you take out the spen the commands dont show up.

It's not that big of a problem. You can activate the commands menu by clicking the S Pen instead.

I'm pretty convinced that it is the internal sensor on the phone that is faulty, but can't find any info as to where it is on the mainboard, or how it works, does anyone have any ideas or info please

That S-View cover screen. that should work only with this hardware feature. by covering light sensor you get this screen, try to disable this function in settings, but normally that looks like bug.

Thank you man, I was going crazy ahahah
more it can not be a hardware problem? because I thought that this function of the S-View only work on the samsung stock ROM or am I wrong? and I used the Google Edition 4.3 rom and never activated this option.
Thank you so much.
I looked about and found some people with this problem, but could not find any solution, I find strange because I never used any S-View cover, and option in settings did not work . If I try to change the rom you guys think the problem is solved?
Thanks
try to factory reset first, if that will not a solution, then try other rom. I hope that will help with your problem.

I.m with exactly the same situation here. Even tried direct cover. Same a noting problem. Could it be the same thing that sammy did with kk a while ago ?
N9005 32GB here. With original Samsung S-View Cover. Working perfectly with Lollipop update.
please take note, 3rd party / fake S-view cover will not work with Lollipop update.

he solved cover problems with his kernel.
Thanks again pekaka.

I don't know if this is the RIGHT thing to do but I had exactly the same problem and after a lot of reading I bumped into someone complaining about the "deep sleep" feature.
I used titanium to froze one process called "Unified Daemon 140911.01". After that I didn't have any problems with my unofficiall SView cover and the battery life was greatly extended.
Again, I'm not an expert and honestly I don't have a clue about the process I mentioned but, so far, I didn't have any issues with my Aryamod 5.1
I hope it helps !

Finger print scanner...

Hi, my wife's Lemax 2 finger print scanner works fine (rose gold 4GB/32GB) mine (grey 6GB/64GB) is totally useless! I'm going to try and change it, found this video (sadly in Portuguese) on how to change it, which also has a link to buy them for less than $7!
I ordered one yesterday, they've shipped it today. Need to work on my bravery now
Pete
Link to video...
You may need a new screen too. It looks extremely difficult to remove it without damage. Can you share the link to the video you mentioned?

Did you try some of the "fixes" before you go to those lengths? Different firmware, ROM, battery drain.....
Is it completely dead, or just slow?

Tried them all, it has never worked from taking it out of the box. Even the calibration doesn't detect anything. Running Slim7, still dead, tried the modem flash... DEAD!
Heyyo, eh a screen replacement isn't that hard tbh... Just have to heat up the phone enough for the glue to get soft.
Yeah if the modem firmware doesn't resolve it when flashed via TWRP then it would be a hardware issue.
Last ditch attempt to try and solve it via software would be to try and flash back to stock EUI ROM via fastboot. There's a guide for doing so in the guides section by greenManGaming if you wish to try it
My Lemax2 fingerprint scanner behaves strange.. it gets unlocked with the finger that is/was never saved.. help me...
the LeEco FingerPrint sensor sucks.....otherwise it is a great phone

Problems with the S-Pen

Hello friends, I have a problem with my s-pen on Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite.
It has stopped working for a while, I have tried to wipe cache, restore factory data.
I even thought it could be the update from android 10 to 11 and I downgraded it from 11 to version 10 but the problem persists.
I also tried the S-pen on another S6 tablet and it works without problems, the problem has to be with my screen and I'm afraid I'll have to take it to the technical service.
I hope to be lucky and that someone like me had the same problem and knows how to fix it without having to take it to be fixed.
Many thanks in advance, greetings.

You need to make sure your Air Command is updated. Everything I feel like my S-Pen is not working well, I will the updates. How to get there. Just go to your settings and then go to advanced features than click S-Pen, than scroll all the way down, to where it says "about S-Pen features. Than click on Air Command. Than you will see it update. I had the same problem. Make sure to buy tips/nibs for your pen, for the best interactions on your screen. Make sure to get only the ones for your tablet. If you get the right ones, it should be white and black tips/nibs in the bag. White one are plastic and the black one is rubber. White ones are smooth. If you need anything else just let me know. Just in case that doesn't work let me know. Good luck
