[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.

@Bat159 what happens when you touch the screen with it?

You might have done something with your rom I guess.

Did you try and change the "tip" of your s-pen?

Disabling pop up notification.

Hello guys,
I just updated my note 3 to android 5.0. There is this heads up sort of notification when I'm a using the phone. It's white and above the screen.
How do I disable this?
Thank you

In play store you have a app for that.

Search for "Galaxy Button Lights" in Playstore, works for me...

I'm able to turn them off by going to settings/device/display/touch key light duration and selecting always off. I have the SM-G928A.

Edge Notification Bug

Hello everyone, I noticed that many of us have a problem with new edge notifications, that is, that when they are off, they will not work, but only when the screen is turned on, even if either Both or Off-screen is active
Speaking with the samsung I was confirmed that I DO NOT NEED TO HAND THE TELEPHONE WITH THE SCREEN RETURNED TO THE LOW
For who had this problem and managed to solve what he did exactly?
Do not get me to say that apps must be supported because even normal phone does not work with the new notification
Apparently it seems to work randomly, or at least it's so in my case
i have S8 950F last firmware / update AQH3

I had to reinstall all the rom because bugs were notifications, in any case and most likely it's a bug, because it works on me but it just does not turn off

Hey! I had the same issue and it was because i had "AZ Screen Recorder" in the status bar always active so it blocks it. Just close it and it's all good at least for me.
Hope i helped.

Glad to hear that !
I think it's some app who put an overlay on the screen who blocks somehow.
