Galaxy Note 10.1: Edge of Screen Affects S Pen Accuracy

krunklenutz · January 9th, 2013, 08:28 PM

Hey folks,

So for starts, I purchased my galaxy tablet for use at school. I take notes, review presentations etc. I've been ignoring this really bothersome problem I've been having with writing notes with the s pen though. Near the edges of the screen the pen loses its accuracy drastically. I've seen alot of the suggestions for smacking it on a surface or adjusting the potentiometer on the pen,, so I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and if those adjustments helped. If not , what does?

Many thanks

I read your post but the way you titled makes it appear yours and the OP of this thread have different issues.

Some things you can try-
Settings
Developer options
Uncheck everything in the "Drawing" section.

Settings
System section
S-Pen (tap it)
Make sure the dominant hand is correct.

Other than these options and the fixes you posted, I don't know of anything else that may help other than a factory reset.

Sorry the title of my post was not clear, I just solved my poblem with help from this forum. Try removing the Note from the case if you have one as magnetic catches affect the touchscreen.
