I have tried googling for help but all I get are links about styli being inserted the wrong way, very frustrating and dumb. However, I am having an issue with my stylus not being detected when I remove it. Its very intermittent. Like sometimes the screen detects the stylus cursor but the air commands show up after a minute. It makes the screen off note taking useless cause it doesn't even trigger that. I have never inserted the stylus wrongly.
Anyone in same boat? What do I do?
Yes. I also have same problem in my Note 5. What I did, I disabled Power saving option in Stylus settings and now it always works. Although the off-screen note feature still doesnt work immediately as the phone takes a few moments in detecting the stylus.
A friend was talkiing about this to me one day... I'll ask him tomorrow when I see him what he did.

I disabled the power saving too, its a bit better but the screen on memo still takes almost a minute to work. Defeats the purpose of having the feature.

Whatd he say
My SPen is having some weird behaviours :
- It doesnt respond with the screen unless I keep pressing (without let go) the button.
- It writes without touching the screen (of course with the button being pressed), and when the nib touches the screen, it stops responding to the screen.
I used the auto updater to upgrade my phone to Nougat, and the problem still persisted.
I think my pen is broken somehow, but I dont know how to make sure of that before ordering a new one from amazon.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
If you have a friend that has a Note you can ask him/her to test your display using his/her stylus.
I tested that my N920c works using a Note 2 and Note 3 stylus.

Yeah I use my girlfriend's Note 3 stylus and it works perfectly normal. And when use my Spen on her Note 3, the issue I mentioned above occurred too. So I assume that is enough to state that my Spen is malfunctioned?
99% yes the problem seems to be your N5 stylus
Has anyone seen a post about bring back the NOTE 7 Edge screen functions on the NOTE 8, Im talking about how you could swipe on it and it was interactive when the screen was off, like seeing sport scores, your alarms or other stuff. Sadly after returning my NOTE 7 i bought a NOTE EDGE and now i am CRYING cause i miss the edge functions that they both have. Please please please someone revive this. THanks

The note edge was the only phone with a real edge screen.
My favorite phone. Still have mine although I'm on the note 8 now. Although I really love it, most of the side screen functions were more complicated to use than the normal screen, so I think that's why they removed those.
And the edge screen sensitivity was way more inferior to the other notes that came after.
I miss taking calls on the edge screen or having the alarms and feeds showing up there. I even had an app to make calls without even opening the cover. So cool... :good:
Would be nice to get those functions back but unfortunately I don't see that happening. The galaxy s7 edge had the screen off edge feeds and the up down swipe function, I dont know about the s8.
What I miss the most is the real edge screen though...
Just swipe the edge when on lock screen

Doesn't work with the AOD but if you press the always on home button when phone is locked and get to the lock screen you can still swipe the edge.
I find the ability to pin a screen off memo to the AOD very useful, cause I get quite busy at work and tend to forget to follow up with things, and this kind of forces me to see it. However, screen off memo seems a little finicky in terms of how long it stays up for, making sure my screen is actually locked when I pull out the pen, etc. Sometimes if I have the phone already on and I want to pin a note, I have to lock it, put the pen in, then pull the pen back out just to get screen off memo to activate.
Is there a way to just pin any note I make in samsung notes to the AOD? This would be a lot more usable in many situations.
I also am looking for a solution to this. My scenario is very similar to yours.
The closest option I could find was pinning a note to the home screen.
I am hoping this is just a minor oversight by Samsung and the function may be added in something like "SmartLock"

Activate screen off memo by locking screen while spen is out and double tapping it by spen button pressed.
Always worked for me. No need to reinsert spen.
Neat feature to add multiple screen off memos too.

Ya? I cant get that to work. Two taps doesn't do anything.
I did note that you can change the Note Type in the Notes app. I changed one to a screen off memo but I still cant get it on lock screen :crying:

It one click of the spen button if your spen is already out and you turn off the screen. Make sure the spen is hovering over the screen or it will just try to unlock your phone.

This works. Also, if you already have a pinned note, it can be edited by just tapping the note with the s pen.
I'm still on a Tmobile Note 8 and just got the One UI update today and was so disappointed to find that it doesn't have the 'double tap to wake' feature. I always thought this update would bring this feature. As I walked into a Tmobile store couple weeks ago and confirmed this feature was on a S10 so I thought this update would do it. Anyway, just wanted to know if any of you Note 9 owners who have the One UI update have this feature? if so, that would be awesome, and will get a Note 9 soon; if not, hmmm don't know, will just keep using my Note 8, thanks!!

ok thanks for the info! darn. ahhhh!!
Honest question, why would you need that when there's the soft, pressure-sensitive home button? Doesn't it do the same thing, with one less tap?
because when I'm driving, I could easily wake it up by tapping anywhere on the screen. it's not that simple finding the home screen button when you are driving now that there's no hardware button. I know I shouldn't be touching the phone at all but at times there's still a need to. sure, I can unlock it with google and do some things (and bixby I think but haven't try it yet), but it's not the same as google is waiting for me to tell it to do something.

I bet a front facing FP comes in handy when driving and phone is on a mount.

do these usually work by pressing anywhere on the screen, or needs to press in a certain section of the screen?

I see. I personally don't think it's tricky to press on the soft home button while driving (it's not that fussy about where you tap), but I use Android Auto while driving so my screen is always on anyway.
Guys, please don't use your phones while you drive.?

OP, you could try decreasing sensitivity of the button. Feels just like tapping plus having a dedicated area.
I'd your use case is while driving, a recommend turning on 'Skip Lock Screen' and adding your car's Bluetooth to trusted devices. This way, you need only a tap on the button and you can go directly to the home screen surpassing your lock screen and the need to scan fingerprint.
Also, did you know you can double tap any notification to wake screen. Enabling 'Skip Lock Screen' as mentioned above will route you to the app directly when you double tap it.
Hope this helps.

Coming from a OnePlus 3T, I do miss DT2W as well. Sitting in a meeting, in a bus, on a plane or in the car - you never have to "search for the right spot", you can just tap on the (dark) screen in order to wake it up.
I really miss it. Once you get used to it, you´re lost.
Hi. There is Fast Wake (not sure about translation, i have another language) by Double Tap options in Accessiblility menu.
