So I was using S Note and it suddenly switched to S Pen only mode when I got out of editing mode (I think, I'm not 100% sure when it switched). I couldn't toggle it back (pressing the button did nothing) and this wasn't just limited to the S Note app, I the screen itself only recognized my S Pen, not my hand, regardless of what app I was running or if I was on the home or lock screen. I got it to recognize my hand again by removing Evernote from my running apps (holding down the home button) and going to the same note but using the actual S Note app (which I assume runs within Evernote when you open a note from the Evernote app). This has happened before but I just turned off the tablet and when I turned it back on, everything was fine.
I just got the tablet (my first!), mind you, so please bear with me if this is a stupid/rookie mistake but I can't even find an option to limit the screen to detect only the S Pen besides when I'm in S Note. I got this tablet refurbished so I need to know if this is simple user error or something's glitchy with the tablet itself.
If it matters, I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 running on 4.4.2.
Never had that problem in the Year I have had this tablet and can't say I have read anyone of complaining of that either but I could be wrong.
I could be wrong but I'm only aware of the setting in Sketchbook pro to allow it not to recognise your hand not sure of any other apps or settings (tbh never needed to use it apart from when using sketchbook).

Has anyone else had an issue where the lock screen is unresponsive after you turn it back on? Here's the scenario:
1. Using tablet.
2. Let the screen time out normally or press the power button to turn off the screen.
3. Wake the tablet either with power or home buttons.
4. Screen is completely non responsive. Doesn't register any of my touches on the screen. Have to power off and on the screen multiple times before it allows me to unlock the screen. Orientation doesn't seem to matter.
I have a brand new WiFi only edition, model P600. I immediately did the three small OTA updates Samsung pushed to me as soon as I first turned the tablet on, but I'm pretty sure it was happening before, as well.
Anyone else? Haven't seen mention of this issue here so far.

Never had this problem on my Note 10.1
Yours could be a just a software issue - Try doing a factory reset and see if its anyway better if not then go back and get it exchanged.
P.S I have had this issue just recently on my S3 and this was after doing a recent update (which then got cancelled due to it causing lag and errors on peoples S3's) so I just need to find the time to factory reset it and all should be good (in theory)

Yeah, I was afraid of that. No joy on the factory reset. I'm rooted and so the Knox stuff is tripped and shows "modified." Hope that doesn't come back to bite me. (Btw, issue was apparent from first boot - before I rooted.) I'm about to go find the factory firmware and ODIN it back on here so at least there's no trace of SuperSU and all the bloatware is back. I think my parents got the Note from Amazon, so hopefully they won't look too closely anyway.
Thanks for the reply.
FWIW, I've tried factory reset, flashing firmware straight from Kies (UEUBMK1), turning off Smart Stay, Palm motion, Reading mode, and I'm the only user registered on the device. No joy on anything. Just going to have to send it back to Amazon for replacement.
Have you tried disabling Daynote?
I've found that when I freeze Daynote the magnetic sensor from eg the book cover case don't work anymore.
My train of thought is that maybe your magnet sensor is defective and Daynote ends up in an endless loop?

Have not tried this, but now it's too late as we've boxed it for shipping back to Amazon. Thanks for the response, though!
Hey Good afternoon.
I own a samsung galaxy tablet 3, 10.1 inches version.
it is not rooted but i sideloaded games on it.
while playing a game my device first froze then shut off, leaving a blank screen.
I am frustrated because every method i have used didnt work.
i tried the power button options along with the volume up and down, i left it charging overnight for 6 hours and tried again. and still nothing.
Also, i tired connecting to my computer by usb and it nothing showed up. it is also not showing in keis.
I am really frustrated, Can someone help me please?
My tablet has only ever been off twice, once it went off by itself on 5% battery and the other I decided to switch it off (just for the sake of it lol) and charge the battery. Okay this has happened twice now, both times after a restart the touchscreen didn't want to work at all. The home and power button worked to put the screen on however the capacitive buttons nor the touchscreen wanted to work. So in the end I had to hold the power button for 8 seconds or whatever it is to do a restart - after a restart again everything was working fine.
I have had this tablet for about 3 weeks now and I have used it a lot and I know it doesn't have any issues at all apart from this one. Just confused if I am doing something wrong or if it's just a bug. I absolutely love this tablet so if I get issues every now and again on restart it's not a problem, plus not like I ever need to switch it off.
Has anyone else ever had any issue like this?

How long did u wait before reboot the tab?
I got this problem on Note 2 (rooted), every time an app/TW crash and capacitve buttons or touch wont works. Had to wait long time before app crash mess pop ups, after the app/TW restarts and then it works again.
Maybe u got some bad apps installed and cause this behaviour. Is mine best guess.

I don't think it's an app as I have never had an app crash on my device, it's happened twice just on a reboot and the first reboot was the day I got it and the second was after 17 days.

I've got a note 2, running 4.4.2, a note pro 8.4 running 4.4.2, and an asus win7 computer
i can run sidesync on the pc, connect the note via usb or wifi, and get keyboard/mouse sharing working just flawlessly
as soon as I attempt to do screen sharing, the note2 goes black (which it should) but the virtual phone just loads endlessly, and eventually times out. doesn't matter wifi or usb
if I launch sidesync on the tablet, and then the phone, the tablet see's the phone and attempts to make the connection. phone goes blank, and virtual phone just eventually times out, just like on the pc
has anyone gotten this working on the note 2? is there a specific version that works?
so, 5 minutes after the post, there's windows update notification, and the update is related to samsung USB driver update
do the update, reboot, and holy jebus, screen sharing works!
sorta
now I get connection (usb and wifi work) and I can see the screen mirrored. the phone screen does not black out, but I can't interact with it either. on the pc, I can see the mouse icon turn from spinny blue thing, to solid blue donut, but it does't interact with the phone. I can click the home, back and menu buttons on the bottom of the virtual phone, and they work, but nothing else does
bleh
any ideas?
My Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. Model SM-T210, Android Version 4.4.2.
Whenever I use an office or book reading app, and later turn the screen off, or let it go to standby mode, it freezes and I have to do a hard reset by holding the power button for over 30 seconds or up to a minute in order for the tablet to reboot.
When this happens, the tablet doesn't charge, all functions are locked (it kinds of bricks).
This happens with all of my reading/office apps: Amazon Kindle, Ultimate reader, SmartQ Reader, Polaris Office and Office 8 from microsoft.
I even formatted the whole thing and re installed everything. All the apps are from the playstore.
Any ideas how to fix this? Please help, I use this tablet mainly to work, so I can't avoid opening books and documents on it.
