Warning about S Pen

[catloverplayer]

Just saw this on youtube. Problem is with the pen not the phone.

I hate this guy already.

Wow hope mine don't do that. At least if it does I can just order another spen.

Well, I'll be sure to test the clicky end of mine before I start using it! Thanks for sharing!

Dude got a defective S-Pen... plunger sticks. Oh well, call Sammy and get a new one sent out. Call off the mob, no need to light the torches.

I wonder if he mixed the pens up and used the pen from the damaged phone in the good one? hmmm

Well at least this time it is fixable.

Yeah he just has an s-pen with some defective internals. That's all. Carry on.

I underestimate just how much people will do to make a specific device look bad.

I had the same issue. Once I popped the pen out with a toothpick, I clicked the plunger for a few minutes. My guess is there is either a burr or the tolerances are very tight for the pen and it needs to be broken in. No, I'm not giving Samsung a pass on this.

If I continue to have the issue over the next few days, I'll be at VZW to request a new pen.

Well, there is giving Samsung a pass and there's making what is most likely a simple manufacturing issue into a crime against humanity (not saying you are). Like you said, there could be a wee little burr somewhere that is causing the thing to bind up, and the defect rate for whatever is causing it might have been so low as to not get caught in the QA cycle... but once you get a ton of them on the street..

Like you said, if it happens again, just get a new pen.
