S pen gestures not working

[Budi Sudaryo]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering why don't s pen gestures work with my phone? I tried the instructions here but nothing happened (the s pen selects text instead): How do I use the S Pen™ with my Samsung Galaxy Note™? : T-Mobile Cell Phones | Samsung

Thanks!

Old instructions. If I had to guess, samsung decided that the need to select text quickly and accurately using the pen outweighs the need for the gestures. I for one agree and appreciate the change. As for gesture support its really a shame that the functionality like that of GMD Gesture Control (requires root) isn't baked into stock Android. The ability to do customized gestures to launch any shortcut or application makes a device such a pleasure to use.

Old instructions.

^This^ These instructions are for the Note SGH-T879. They are not for the current Note 4.

Check these apps, specifically GMD Spen Control, it's a paid app but may give you the functionality you are looking to have.
Edit (root is required for GMD)
