S Pen is NOT responsive.

[monkeycsk]

I have noticed that my S Pen has been behaving a bit strange the last couple of days. Not only it's not responsive, but when i write on the note, it leaves a small trail even after i lift the pen. for example, i write the word 'hello', it leaves a little mark after the 'o' as if i was continuing writing.

i go into S Pen to reset it a couple of times, and I also swapped out a new tip, but to no avail. for the record, the S Pen is fully charged.

i have attached a screenshot of the note. you can see it leaves a trail after each word, H, E, L

how often, if at all, the S Pen goes bad???

Try the diagnostic tool in device care for Spen

Are you using block gestures with S Pen?

no, my block gestures with S Pen is not turn on.

also, i check the dianogtics tool for S-pen and i can tap on each square with no issue. it's only leaves a trail whenever i finish a letter.

Ok was going say maybe just that application was giving a issue so it looks like the Spen itself.

i have been using the S-Pen since Note 3, Note9, Note 20, and now S22. I never had issues with the S-pen except to replace the tips a few times.

so i was wondering if anyone had their S-pen go bad.

oh well, i had to order a new S-pen replacement. funny though, with all the notes i owned in the past, this is the first time it went bad.

All the Note phones I've had over the years I haven't had a bad one yet.

right. i would expect to replace the tip over time, but the S-pen itself went bad is a bit unusual.
