Direct Input has Stopped Error

[MomoMilky]

The note 3 was working just fine, until we powered it off to insert in an microSD (64GB Sony Class 10). We removed the battery before we realized the microSD was to be inserted above the SIM card. After we inserted the sd card in, and turned on the phone, it would lag horribly and constantly give the message "Unfortunately, Direct Input has Stopped."

We did nothing with the pen, so I have no idea why it's having this issue. The phone is horribly slow now to the point of freezing. We have powered off, and take out the SD card (which, btw, is brand new from packaging, completely empty).

Rebooting and powering down/up did not fix the issue. Does anyone know how to fix this? The phone is stock, unrooted.

What would I do if I were you is. Insert the MicroSD in my computer then format it then insert it again in the device then go to storage and format it again.

Thanks for the tip. The thing is, even without the SD card, the error message would still show up, and the phone would lag and be horribly slow.

You probably have a rogue app or something didn't install right. I would do a factory reset and start over. I know it sucks but I had some of the same issues. Also if you are loading phone from backup, don't. Seems like more than a few people have had problems with restored apps. Install apps from Play and sync with all your accounts.

yes, a factory reset fixed the issue. it was so frusterating to deal with, especially with all the freezing.

I have the same "Direct Pen Input has stopped". It happened while I was traveling in United Arab Emerates. Within two days, Verizon sent me a message that my Note 3 had used $1,000 data roaming charge while I practically did not download anything myself. In panic, I thought the free Android applications I have downloaded might have been updating themselves without my knowledge, thus causing the huge $1,000 bill. I decided to uninstall or force stop many of the free applications.

At the same time, I bought a cheap local UAE phone to use locally. A local UAE friend suggested using a UAE local phone's SIM card to make my new Samsung Note 3 a local UAE phone to avoid the data roaming charge. He opened the cover, removed the battery and SIM card to see. He decided that the SIM cards were different size and not interchangeable. So he put everything back and suddenly the Note 3 is locked up by the "Direct Pen Input has stopped" message. It popped up constantly. I ended up not using Note 3 at all during the 8 day trip. I am trying to find a solution to solve this problem.

I have found separate posts that describe both the SD card/SIM card removal and the application removal as cause for this problem. Below is.another post from:

above is absolutely right and I have fixed the issue .

Can anyone tell me what is going on here and how to find "MyScript ResourceManager" and how to use it to correct the problem? Or any other solutions?
Thank you in advance.

By the way, Verizon should work out a deal with UAE for discount. UAE is a major business destination and charging Verizon customers $1,000 for 2 days without the customer's knowledge in usage is not reasonable.

Verizon makes a killing off of international roaming. You should disable it in the settings. They charge $20,000 per gb of data for pay as you go data in all countries other than US, Mexico and Canada. Note that there is an international plan of 100mb/$25 for select countries. Though buying a local sim would cheaper.

I ran into this issue as well, when I started carelessly turning off all the services on my GN3 to free up memory. I narrowed down the issue to the process/service called "My Script Resource Manager." If this is disabled / removed, you will get the Direct Pen input error.
Go to, Settings, Application Manager, My Script Resource Manager, Turned off?, Look for it and turn it back on. Problem will be fixed.
This worked for me.Good Luck.
