    Default S pen detection issues.

    When I first got my note I had the icon show up a in the top left hand corner whenever I pulled out my s pen.
    I also saw the s pen warning ( starting that you are moving to far away from your s pen) only 2 times but both times I was using the pen so how can it be to far away?

    I checked my settings and the pen detection and warning are both on, but now the Icon never shows up and my S pen warning NEVER works. And I NEED. It to work bc I am always losing stuff.


    Any suggestions? Should I ask Att to exchange it for another unit?

    Are you using a custom launcher like Apex or Nova launcher? That disables it for me. The pen notification is the suggested apps that show in your notification drawer as part of Page Buddy. Using a custom launcher disables Page Buddy.

    Must be nova launcher but I had it installed for over a week and only today the notifications stopped?

    And so does that mean I can't get the S pen warnings when I walk away from my pen?

    Well, first make sure Setting -> S Pen -> S Pen Keeper is checked. Here is the tricky part, the S Pen Keeper really doesn't detect how far away you are from the S Pen. All it does is that if your Note II screen is off, and you don't have the S Pen in the slot, and you have taken enough steps, it will give you the warning.

    If you want to test it, just take out the S Pen, turn off the screen. and start walking in place. For me, it took about 15 steps and warning will show.

    Wow it actually worked at about 15 steps just like you! Thanks a bunch.

    Settings > Display > Page buddy (tap to enable and then tap again to enter Page buddy settings) > S Pen page = checked. If not then you won't see the Pen notification in the upper left corner of your alert bar and won't see your Page buddy appear when you remove your S Pen.
