Show touch point with S-Pen as well (instead of just finger)
Samsung's android shows a cursor while using the S-Pen but hides it when you actually start touching. In the Developer Options there are 2 relevant options, one shows a nice white circle where you touch, but does not react to the pen, and the "cursor Position" setting does react to the pen, but is i...
Samsung's android shows a cursor while using the S-Pen but hides it when you actually start touching. In the Developer Options there are 2 relevant options, one shows a nice white circle where you touch, but does not react to the pen, and the "cursor Position" setting does react to the pen, but is in my opinion a bit too much on the screen, especially with the path and all. So is there some way to get a simple touch indicator that also works with the pen, e.g. for screen recordings? I am using a Galaxy Tab S6 Lite with Android 13.

Does Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 support replacement of S Pen tip?
I have an old Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 (GT-N5120) tab. It comes with an S Pen. I wonder if this pen tip could change or not. I did not remember for this is a gift for my family member a long time ago.

How to adjust S Pen pressure sensitivity on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1?
A little background on me: I'm a professional cartoonist and have been working digital for about 20 years. I've had numerous Wacom devices & currently enjoy a Cintiq 21UX (older model).

A little background on me: I'm a professional cartoonist and have been working digital for about 20 years. I've had numerous Wacom devices & currently enjoy a Cintiq 21UX (older model). I also have the ASUS EP121 Slate. I think I understand Wacoms pretty well and generally don't panic about computer stuff. The Samsung Note 10.1 S Pen is using Wacom's *penabled* tech. Same kind of hardware in the ASUS EP 121. With every Wacom device I've used to date, either Mac or Windows, there is a control panel dialogue box that allows you to tweak the pressure settings of the pen so that the artist/user has the best control for them. The S Pen does not have this and I want it! :) I have called Wacom. They said they provided the hardware but do not provide support for it. I called Samsung who said it was an Android operating system issue. Before I begin another round of waiting on hold hoping for Android support I thought I'd try here. Any assistance or at least firm Android tech suppport numbers I could call would be much appreciated. I realize the Note 10.1 is brand new tech and a proper driver solution may be a few updates away but I am willing to be a squeaky wheel and/or early adopter to help this happen :)

S-Pen only (touch screen disabled)?

I take hand written notes on my Samsung Tablet S3, as well as my Samsung Note 8 phone, using the S Pen. Both are on Android 9. Palm rejection and other accidental touches are mostly rejected, but not perfectly. I would like to have a way to turn off the capacitive touch screen (that registers finger touches) but leave the S Pen detection on. In this state, the tablet or phone would respond to the S Pen only, and ignore all other screen touches. I know there are apps that can perform this feature, but they mostly come with unacceptably broad permissions, including full access to the network, reading contents on the device, etc. This seems like something that should be built into the OS, but I have not found it. I should add that I own a paid version of Tasker, but am not very good at programming it, in case someone has a good solution for Tasker. Any advice or hacks?

S-pen SDK Compatibility
Has anyone seen the S-pens SDK in the Play Store or galaxy apps store? What exactly is it for and even if I'm not developing any kind of modifications to the S-pen feature of Samsung phones can I download the app to enable an S-pen to be used with my phone? My phone is a Galaxy A5 (2015)

Can Scrap Booker be replaced with Evernote in Air Command on Galaxy Note 3?

> Scrap Booker – save anything you encounter – such as websites, maps, and pictures – into organized scrapbook categories with accompanied notes and information for later browsing. (from Phandroid Galaxy Note 3 review). What makes this special is that it's quick accessibility from Air Command menu that is activated via S-Pen. But functionality wise, this seems like an equivalent of (or subset of) Evernote. On one hand, as an Evernote user, I'd love to NOT have to have parts of my data in a separate scrapbooking application. On the other, Air Command menu and S-Pen integration is a big win. As such: Is there any way to integrate Evernote with this scrapbooking functionality in Note 3? I'm fine with any solution (e.g. full on replacement by Evernote, or even something as simple as a way to import 100% of my current Scrap Booker data into Evernote).

is there a stable Note 3 mod utilizing S-pen?
Is there a stable Mod that does not compromise on the S-pen of Note 3? Since a mod could better utilize the raw power of the device.

Galaxy Note 3 - Is there a way to add more apps to use when drawing a 'Pen Window'?
Is there a way to add more applications in the list that appears when you press the button on the S-Pen and select "Pen Window" to draw a floating application? It would be really nice if you could open a floating twitter or Facebook application.
