Backwards spen insertion? - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyone ever done it on their note 4?

it does go in pretty easy. idk why, on youtube when i watched, it cant fit, mine does, i didnt try it all the way bc i was scared, but when i put it in a little, it gives me notification sped detached and inserted.. does yout fit in easy? thanks

Take heed; the power of suggestion is powerful on this one. Don't go dark side.
The funniest reply I read on the subject was that, "Samsung can't make this idiot-proof because someone else will make a better idiot!"-LOL.
How many people reading this never even thought of backwards install and tried it anyway? We should really just take others at their word. It is possible but don't do it; you could seriously break the usability of the S-Pen but only have yourself to blame for it.
Cannot believe one editor done this on a Note 5 test loaner and begged Samsung for a response. May as well admit it, you're a bigger idiot than Samsung imagined possible if you can't resist the temptation to find out for yourself and don't know when to stop. Better to not start in the first place; let the examples already given suffice an answer.

For those wondering, this shows exactly what happens when it goes in wrong on the Note 5. That little plastic finger gets caught on the pointlessly fancy new removal mechanism. If the new S-Pen didn't have that thing on the back end of it, there wouldn't be anything for the plastic lever to catch (and break off) on.

Wow, you'd have to shove it in almost all the way. So you not only have to be stupid, you have to be insanely stupid.
Anyway, if you don't know "pointy end goes in hole", you're going to have more problems in your life than just with your phone.

Here's where the skipped generation design proof of reliability gets my attention. I liked the idea because it meant the huge notch in case backs could be removed for appearance's sake. My wife being an iPhone fan, that excessive case cutout was the only thing that got her attention when I got the Note 4-my first Note.
Now there's a year to determine the fallout and improve on next generation or nix it for the better. Same for the sealed case vs removable cover for ExtSdCard and replaceable battery. Watching the verdicts with interest; glad I skipped this generation.

From Reddit, here's one way to fix the problem that makes sense. The other idea floating around (make the head bigger) wouldn't work because you couldn't press it in to click it. This fix would work, but it would be pretty odd looking having 2 gaps where the top is flush with the phone.

I almost did it once on my Note 3 my first day with it. Almost. Caught myself and knew it likely wouldn't be good if it got stuck. Haven't done it since and watch what I'm doing whenever I put the pen back. If I ever need to move to the Note 5 that diligence will pay off.

Brilliant solution. I hope all the carriers have been trained in this procedure. They're going to be using.
The crying (of foul or otherwise) is coming from those who tried to force it out and broke their device or are trying to drum up hits for their site.

It actually looks good and besides, the keys can be easily handled by a dev. Hopefully Samsung is quick to release the GS3 earlier than they released the GS2.
By the time I am ready to upgrade my phone again (mid 2013), hopefully, there will be a galaxy s4.
I cant. Beleive people are already chomping to have the GS3 come out. America is turning into that needy fat kid that lives next store whom you can always here calling for more in the squeekiest, winniest voice ever

wow
We can only hope.
How are those "leaked images" if they were generated by user on a Russian concept phone site?
Too. Much. Bezel.
Beat Apple to it, you know the iPhone5 is going to have ulta-minimal bezel.
I know it's an unofficial concept image, but, it's likely right on--roughly speaking. It's time for these companies to stop just achieving design parity with Apple and actually surpassing them. They have an entire fncking year to do it every. single. time. Our specs slaughter the iPhone, constantly...for years now. Time to leapfrog in the physical design department.
Thinner, the least bezel possible, moar screen, moar battery. Get on it Samsung.
PS; Samsung....better radios, plox.

I certainly hope that isn't a real clock widget... If you look at the month dial, it reflects the wrong month where "Jun" is. Should be "Jul".

white epic+comment

i was on sprint's web checking out the white epic it looks hella beast! totally getting it. i dont mind having two lol.
Btw i want you guys to read the first comment on there. its funny, obviously the guy there have not even owned an epic touch before and is probably a ifag haha. i mean jessus the guy really has no clue what he's talking about lmao. and if it was real. he's probably a really bad owner and shouldnt be using smartphones. one from (ALAMOTEXAS)
1) First device went bad within 5 days. The headset went dead and you could not receive or make calls. 2) Second device was no better. The phone continually freezes up from screen to screen, you end up on screens you were never on in the first place, especially in the middle of making a phone call. Sometimes to the point the tool bar to mute, or disconnect the phone or place the phone on the speaker completely disappear. 3)The biggest disappointment besides freezing, was when chekcing the voice mails from the phone icon, while listening to a client's voice mail message, the phone would start to dial that number all by itself, especially, if you just happen to move or tilt the phone, the phone would self dial the number of the voice mail that you were listening too, when you did NOTHING. 4)At times you could feel the phone churning and making noises as if it was jello, very odd. I liked the phone and it has a nice feel and look, but I cannot allow a phone to call people, some of which do not have my cell number and the freezing up from screen to screen was not tolerable.

Yes, there are times when hardware & software f up. How does the saying go? 90% of computer problems are user error? So many times people want me to look at their phone or computer because its f'ing up. More times than not, the "problem" doesn't happen when I'm messing around with it. Jello sounds, you (reviewer) sure that the noise isn't your fat ass cheeks wiggling and jiggling when you walk?

A nexus oath?

I was recently chatting with one of our mods and this is what he had to say:
Owning a nexus is a responsibility. Once you own a Nexus, you own the right to speak for the Android ecosystem as a whole. It all becomes as you put it because you are the high priest of a sacred religion, the source.
It is from this that your prime responsibility emerges as well- you have to help every android user if you know you can, even if you don't want to. Whether they think that their phone is better and cooler or not, whether you look like a friendless and deprived idiot or a desperate nerd.
I know this sounds silly philosophical to you, alluding to a very "brotherhood" vicinity as far as concepts go, but what matters is the result we get from such a mindset- something more open, something more google, forward and responsive, something that iOS kidos cant even think in the lines of.
It is the reason I am ensuring that nexus discussions are sincere, friendly and constructive and everyone trying to derail this process is going to find a tough time.
Its also the reason I am talking to BigG to make nexus devices always niche, so that every nexus owner feels a sense of purpose to the eco system, silently knowing he has what matters most in the android ecosystem

Further in the conversation he went forth outlining how Google can achieve this, compact version of which is:
1. FULL play store access (not restricted by country or device)
2. Closer relationship with google devs
3. Working with manufacturers to get flashable ported versions of their UX leaving a nexus user with more options than others
4. World phone as a standard
5. Permanent discounts on most play content
Do you agree? What are your thoughts?

I see alot of theads being closed constantly, kinda hampers freedom of speach. Please dont ban me, I just think you guys need to step back and take a breather sometimes before jumping on the close button.
All this time could be put into making my LIVE wallpaper switching program, I have money and google. But I would rather pay than google how to script that out.
Most of the thread being closed have dedicated threads in the stickies sections.
Why waste space and time? I mean I think you could go through and count the number of Apple vs. Samsung threads that have been closed, you'd need more then 2 hands. Same with LTE 4G.

Yes, some moderators can come off as arrogant. I can see their frustration as the threads get bogged down with the same questions over and over again. Although, they need to accept their position as moderator and not allow their frustrations to spew onto others. Lesson... Read, read, read... Your question has been answered 99% of the time. Especially in development threads. The same question asked repeatedly can slow down development, because instead of working on improving the device, they have to answer the same questions 50 times.

S pen put in backwards....

So this has been posted only once somewhere else, but unfortunately not on XDA. I accidentally put my s pen in my phone backwards and it was stuck. Of course, I frantically pulled it out, but the end is now stuck inside the phone and will not come out.
Anyone have any advice? Would I be able to take it back under a 14 day return or warranty it? This really sucks right now.
So I advise you all not to do what I did.
Okay, so what I suggest is putting super glue on the tip of your s pen and putting it in there. Maybe gorilla glue and use it to fish it out?

From what I read it's not coming out. The design of the locking and the pens design missed this lol.

So I was able to get my pen out but the sensors and locking mechanism is now broken. Pen still works. You must turn off Sale pen detection I believe.

So this has been posted only once somewhere else, but unfortunately not on XDA. I accidentally put my s pen in my phone backwards and it was stuck. Of course, I frantically pulled it out, but the end is now stuck inside the phone and will not come out.
Anyone have any advice? Would I be able to take it back under a 14 day return or warranty it? This really sucks right now.
So I advise you all not to do what I did.

I was specifically warned not to do this by my best buy sales person. I thought, well, let me see if there's resistance before it gets stuck...Nope! Like an idiot, I broke it off in there. The good news is that Samsung will repair it for a cost. I'll let you know how much. Call it an "idiot tax"

This made me laugh. :thumbup:
I put my pen in backwards and had it stuck although I didn't break the end by forcing it out. I tried to exchange it at Best Buy, but was turned down. I called Samsung Support and they created a 2-day shipping label for me to send them the phone. I sent them the phone 8/26 and it is scheduled to arrive in my hands 9/10 which means I will be apart from my phone for 16 days. I was not charged for the repair nor the shipping to and from the repair center.

Thanks for the link. I would never be stupid enough to put it in backwards but just in case I let someone use my device and they do, this is great info.
Yes, I thought I would never be stupid enough to put it in backwards either. But rushing to clear out from one meeting on the way to another one, talking to some folks at the same time, in backwards it went.
My only gripe with Samsung is there is absolutely NO difference in resistance inserting it backwards or forwards, although I'm not sure it would be possible to do that and keep the flush fitting s-pen.
I used the drinking straw method to remove my s-pen, and the internals of the phone are fine. Thank you Internet for saving my device!

I've seen many videos confirming the paper method works to fix this issue. Your post is the first I've heard that the straw method also works. It is the ease in which this mistake can be made that is the design flaw.
4 hour old note 5... at a bar with co-worker. he dares me to put it in backwards. i foolishly did. got stuck. was able to remove it after some force and playing around. works, but phone has no detection of in/out as expected. called ATT and their sending me a replacement. had the rep state on the record the pen was "stuck inside device, and now that it has been removed has broken phone-to-pen sync"
blah :-\

Lol, my story is similar to yours. I first read about the issue and didn't believe it could be that easy to render the spen useless. It was that easy. Customer support came through for me. Not a big issue anymore since there is a known easy way to fix.

Crazy right? I didn't even go THAT far into the device. Our eyes wide in shock and amazement as we tried to process what had just happened. It was just as I was wrapping up the showing off features and screen bit too. Damn, maybe next time lmao. Att got my back though, lucky !

Take it to your local repair store. They can have it back to you in no time. If you are in Montana I can help
