S-Pen Smells

[Slantize]

out of curiosity, does anyone's battery smell like this while it's on? the reason i ask is yesterday i woke up to my phone being stuck on the ultra-high auto brightness with the boost for some reason, and when i went to bed it was less than an hour of screen on time, when i woke up it was more than 4 hours. i'm assuming it was like that the entire time, and the phone was scorching hot. i shut it off as quickly as i could and pulled the battery out to let it cool off. i'm not sure what happened, but when it was hot, the battery had a very strong smell that seems to be what you're all smelling on the s pen, and i've now noticed that my s pen has that smell. i never smelled it before, so i don't know if it did it before, but my battery (or at least the battery compartment) does have this smell any time it's on. i took it apart again last night for a few hours to let it sit and air out with the pen and battery out, and upon turning it on, it smells again.

i'm just trying to decide if i should bother doing a replacement on the phone, as i'll have to ship it in to AT&T if so because it's past 14 days and the repair center near me doesn't work with the note 4 yet. the phone otherwise seems to be okay and i feel that this was probably a one-off fluke so i'm not horribly worried about it, i just want to make sure there's not some melted plastic inside that's now touching the SoC or something now and causing a stink.

I can't believe I did it, but I actually sniffed my S-pen. It does smell. I won't sniff it or any other part of my phone again and I'll move on.

Lol, I just saw this thread for the first time today and yeah, I had to smell the pen. Too funny.

Does this happen to anyone else? An odor emits from my phone everytime I take the S-pen out. It's like a slight burning plastic smell. I can smell it when I'm using it normally. It's not like I'm putting my phone to my face and sniffing it. Should I be worried? Thanks!

Why would you even post this its pointless no offense.. My s pen smells too does that mean I post about it??? No

I sniffed my S Pen. Then I sniffed the S Pen slot on my phone. Then we growled at each other and mated. It was nice.

I just did a sniff test on mines. Lol the S-pen do have a bit of burning rubber smell to it but not the storage hole is goes into just the pen itself. I m not worried I got a backup pen..... Just take it back to store if it's that strong a smell...

Mine smells like band-aids.
