S Pen not connecting

[christianttt]

I got a notification "S Pen is disconnected". It works with the screen with no problem but can't use gestures, like pressing the S Pen button to take pictures.
Somebody else with this problem?

Is bluetooth enabled on the phone (S-Pen rich actions will not work without it)? If you insert the pen into the siloh, do you get the 'connecting' message or any error? Do you have another S-Pen you can try? It could be that the internal battery for the S-Pen has died and not charging any more, so a new pen would solve the problem.

Agree with spook, also Reset the S-pen

I'd say it's incredibly unlikely to be the "battery", the S-Pen actually uses a super capacitor which should easily hit a usable lifespan of a decade. And should actually last far longer than that.

I don't recall any going bad on my Notes but I'm sure can happen

Faulty hardware is more likely the issue if the battery is 'dead'.

I agree. But i'm saying that, unlike a phone, it's no more likely to be the battery than it is any other piece of hardware. Including the inductive coil in the phone.

I was curious to know how you solved this problem. I am also facing the same thing with my S pen.

I have not solved it yet, since I'm using this as a secondary phone it's not a big deal. I've read from other forums that people had to buy a new S-pen.

Just read an article on Sammobile regarding the use of magnetic phone cases or other accessories and S pen issues.
