Hi all,
Does anyone find it easy to attach the charging cradle?
I find that it never clicks in first try and I end up pushing in numerous spots trying to get it to click in.
When I press in the middle of the screen it takes so much force I'm scared I might break the screen.
When I push on the left/right sides or top/bottom of the bezel, it doesn't seem to be effective. After. Much messing around it eventually clicks in.
I'm wondering if anyone has worked out a fool proof method for quick attachment.

It's the strap in the way, after a while of wearing the watch and flexing the band where it holds the watch by the notches for the cradle, I have found that makes it slightly easier to attach it.
the first time i tried to attach the cradle i needed to call samsung because it says in the quick start instructions to "gently" attach the cradle. F that, it took a good push to click int place. the best way i have found is to align the charging pins with the watch, hold the watch in place and wait for the display to light up. that lets you know it is in place. then PUSH until it clicks into place. also, i wouldn't push on the screen. rather place your thumbs on each side of the display when you push.

It's not easy to attach, it always feels like it's not quite in the right place and it takes a lot of force to click it in and a lot to pull it off too.
I find that pressing on the silver edges with both thumbs rather than the screen works for me. Pulling it off using the tab with as much pressure as it needs.
I worried about the first couple of times but not now.

I had the same problem. But after looking at the charger there is small notch in the middle of the top.. I try to align that with the small notch that it supposed to fit into. If you accomplish that, the charger will quicly snap into place without much effort.
Removing it does take a reasonable tug on the tab.
Yup. There is a trick to finesse it into place! Same with the Gear Fit and with the Gear Live. I put it in my left hand and cup it, line everything up and cup my other hand over the top and press gently together that way. As it is used it gets easier.
When I remove it I put my right index finger under the top strap, cup my left hand under the watch with my left palm against the left edge, and use my right thumb to push down on the tab.
I've feel the same way you do and feel like I'm going to break it. Been a week and still struggle every time I charge it.

Easiest way is as said above...
There is a notch on one side of the cradle. Line that up with the hole on the back of the watch and then press lightly on the lower edge of the cradle and it will click into place easier than any other method.
I'll be glad when more chargers are available
I had no problem attaching the cradle actually, but what I find hard is getting the cradle DETACHED! There is a lever at the side you push, but it is quite stiff and if you are not careful either the watch or cradle will go flying across the room. I tend to support the side of the watch on the bed sheet while pushing the lever on the other side....but it certainly isn't as easy as I think it should be.
This is becoming my favourite thread lol
It's fun just imagining people reading this and trying out these methods.
It really should be a simple operation to attach and detach a charger though.

Agreed, Honestly this is the most annoying feature of this watch.
It should be but is not for me.
It's a lot worse than with gear and gear 2. I cannot observe how nice is the qi charger from moto 360 and So Stupid Is what we got for gear s. Anyway..gear s is at least 2 generation ahead of android wear, even the gear 2 is but this is a pain in the ass from samsung, a bad design. Maybe we will get right in time but now it painful.

Hello,
unfortunately my stylus cap came off.
Now the longer part of the stylus is stuck in the XDA :-(
Any ideas how to get it out again?
many thanks
golf
if you cant put the upper part into the xda and screw it a bit on and then pull it out
then maybe a longer metal or what ever stick with the same size thread
would be able to get screwed into the pen and then you can pull it out
Thanks for the very quick reply.
When it happened for the first time I was able to "reconnect" screwing the top part on.
But now it's not deep enough. I just doesnt connect, because the main part slid in to far or the thread doesn't grip :-(
I called O2 and they said I would have to send it in...
Very anoying...
well a long screw with the same size and the top would be able to connect would it not ?
You need to get something with the same thread as the top half but longer, then just screw it in and pull the lower half out, if it is broken off then thats a different story.
Thanks folks.
I will stop by at a DIY shop and see if I can find a long screw somewhere...
cheers
golf
I had this happen to me. I put some Krazy Glue in the top half and then pushed it onto the bottom half - waited about 20 sec, then it pulled out without a problem. My issue was the both screw threads became completely stripped.
Jon.
I used the handle end of a small artist's paint brush.
The tapered, plastic shaft was just the right size to push into the stuck portion of the stylus.
Obviously you'll need to hunt around for the right size, but most households will have something similar.
Thank you, the screw did it
I am happy to inform you that with your help yesterday I managed to release the stylus.
A long screw did the the trick for me easily.
Now the only problem left is the unstable screen color, but that's something I have to live with...
thanks again

Hi all, I posted this in another Tab 10.1 forum at www.thegalaxytabforum.com but I am also posting this question and concern here to see who else has this problem/concern and if it can be fixed.
I am having an ergonomic problem with this Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 sleek slim design!
While holding the tablet as one intuitively would and trying to type or do touch screen motions I find that the palm areas of my hands always touch the "page back" arrow button at the lower left edge of the screen (on the bottom task bar) and causes it to exit out of the page I am working on. Same goes for the lower right corner edge where the clock/settings icon opens up when my right hand palm leans up against it inadvertently.
I find that Samsung in all their wisdom of trying to make a slim sleek looking design surely messed up on this point! The tablet's screen bordering edge sure looks good, but is way too thin and too close to the active screen area at the lower corners causing one's hands and palms to easily contact those corner icons and inadvertently activate them.
Can anything be done to move those corner icons further away from the corner edges so that these sorts of false touch activations can be eliminated?
The Asus EE Transformer tablet my son has, does not have this problem because the tablet frame is wider and keeps your hand palms further away from falsely touching those corner icons.
Samsung, goofed up here. I hope my suggestion of moving the icons away from these corners can be done in a software OS update.
Your just an idiot who doesn't know how to use it. I have the exact same tablet and it works perfectly. I have no problem with the back button or anything. My brother has the Motorola xoom which has a smaller bezel all around and all be does is use that tablet. He has no problem with it at all. So it doesn't matter if you have a big or small bezel to use the tablet you just have to be smart. And obviously your not so you should just go and return it

What a childish immature response. Totally un-helpful! I think the moderator should ban you if you keep posting like this. At least delete this totally unhelpful post of yours.
if you use the tab on a table your palm should rest on the table surface, same if you use it on your lap.
especially if you're an adult and have big hands
I use my 10.1 with one hand all the time and never run into this problem. To each their own, I suppose.

Well, I don't think my hands are that big but I do not use the tablet at a table nor in my lap looking down at it. I wanted to get a tablet because it is supposed to be light and portable and easily held in your hands to read like a book. Also if one is laying down relaxing on a sofa or in bed taking in some night time surfing whilst going to bed, then some hand holding it up with two hands is required. Sooner or later your palm is going to brush up and touch the screen inadvertently even if you are aware of this issue, the brain easily drifts off every now and then and you can forget for a moment to keep your hands away from the touch screen.
I guarantee you not everyone is going to always use the tablet on a flat table surface or always in their laps. There will be some hand holding positions folks will be using it in.
My pen is so far off I can hardly use it. I tried the LCD calibration pen test, but even that's hard to complete because I have to draw beside the boxes, and I am unable to draw near the bottom of the screen at all ..
Did you change your LCD density? Maybe the unit went bad on you. Go to the ATT store and have them look at it.
Idk if this helps but one thing that helped me was when i read that the Spen is setup to work best at a 45 degree angle. I used to use it more at a 90 and the calibration was way off.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA
I haven't done anything with the density .. and I've done the pen test several times. If anything, it makes it worse. I can hardly complete the pen test because my pen barely touches the boxes before it physically goes off the bottom of the screen.
it's off by about half a centimeter.. don't really notice until I'm trying to sketch in Sketchbook, which is basically impossible. Maybe I should try a wacom pen and see if that's any better
I just used a straight edge to draw down the very center of the boxes in the pen test.. this is what I got. (and I've tried drawing to the edges several times to auto calibrate it, doesn't seem to help)

I think you're missing my point. If I draw in the center of the boxes, the line appears outside the boxes, and they do not turn green. I can draw to the side of the boxes where the line appears in the boxes and they turn green, but this does nothing to help my issue. There is still about a half centimeter difference between where I place the tip of the pen on the screen and where the line appears.
I would like the line on the screen appear directly underneath the tip of the pen, not off to the side.
Also, from that video I don't see anything about the tape addressing my issue. As far as I can tell it just reduces the sensitivity and prevents the pen from working at extreme angles. My issue is with the calibration of the pen..

It cost me $7 for a roll at HD. I'll let you know after I finish the honey do list for today.
I've read in other forums that the Wacom Bamboo Feel (CS300UK) line of stylus's do not line up correctly, with the tip being offset by 1/8th of an inch or more, which is really maddening when you're trying to do some detailed art. In the Note 10.1 2014 forum there's a thread devoted to how many of these stylus's suck and are offset, including the CS300UK2, which people still aren't sure of if it's a new version or a different region product code of the same pen. Whichever it is, this is about the easy to get Best Buy and Amazon sold version, CS300UK.
Still, after reading all of that, I gave it a shot and it really was crap. Way offset! I was about to return it, when I decided to get out the X-acto blade and see what I could do.
I've attached a finished version of what my pen looks like now. Not the prettiest thing, but it lines up perfectly for me now and took WAY less time to do than it did for me to write all this out. haha
1- Pull out the nib that's currently in the pen.
2- Whittle down the tip of the pen until you start to see the first bit of innards in it. With my X-acto, it was really easy to cut, not a hard plastic at all.
In the image attached, you can see a small black circle inside the cut grey part. That is where I've decided to stop. Not sure what it does but looks like it shouldn't be sliced up...
3- Trim the nib. I've labeled in the image the bit of nib that I trimmed. This was photographed on the top of the back of the Bamboo nib box so you can see the size, but it is a small amount, like 1/8 of an inch or so. With your basic nail clippers, I clipped it from the "bottom" of the nib, which is slightly less round than the top, but I doubt it matters which you clip.
So yeah, slip the nib back in the pen and you're done. It should be lined up.
The two photos on the right of the attached image show what it looks like held from the left and right at a pretty decent angle, my "natural" drawing angle. Basically spot on. Tested in a bunch of places around the tablet and it all matches up.
Good luck to anyone who tries this! Also, don't blame me if you screw up your pen.
Now, if only Wacom could put out a pen that is this little bit shorter for these newer Note's...

People are still experiencing an offset with that, as well. I browsed all through the 10.1 2014 thread about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484014
Specifically http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47180938&postcount=46 from a quick search in that thread.
As they're both Samsung products put out at about the same time, I am using the assumption that they will have similar tech when it comes to the digitizer and how it reacts to the Feel pens. The Note 3 will probably have that, too. Older digitizers might not do so good, though. haha
Here's a link where I screencapped someone's test video: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50693780&postcount=179
At least from the angle, there seems to be an offset from the UK2. He's on the line with the pen, but the drawn line is under that line.
I have the V2 and have no offset issues. From a screen shot taken from a side angle, yes there appears to be an offset, but the big question is "is there an offset from the eye position of the writer" not is there an offset for someone watching from the side. It's like looking at a speedometer from the driver's seat vs. the passenger seat. You will not get the same reading as you will from the other position.
Sent via Tapatalk and my thumbs.
Some say they like it and others are still saying their V2's are off, but if you do have one that works properly and you're happy with it, that's all that matters.
Does the back of this pen work as an eraser?
I was finally able to test the wacom pen with eraser that came with my Toshiba laptop. No surprise, it has the same 2-3 mm offset when the pen is held at an angle. Too bad because it's nice to have the easy eraser which does work as expected. I'll probably end up ordering the big s-pen now...
Also, I did try adjusting the calibration screws under the button to no avail...

There's two ways to go about this. The 'Viking equivalent of try this first' and the 'If that doesn't work, let's try the more technical one.'
Firstly, try giving it a good solid whack on the edge of a table. As ridiculous as that sounds (and makes you look), this does usually have an effect. Often, the nib isn't properly inserted, or sits at just the wrong angle. Brute force tends to work.
If that doesn't help, it's time for the proper technical solution. This works on pretty much any magnetic stylus with a button, including the Spen.
Requirements:
- A small flat screwdriver
- A non-cluttered room (preferably without carpets)
- The pen
- The tablet
Step 1) Carefully use the small screwdriver to pop off the button. You should be able to insert it along the side in the middle and then slide it towards the back end (where the fastener isunder the button).
The thing jumps, so be careful! (Hence the clean, carpet free room. I had to use a vacuum cleaner to recover mine once..) If the screwdriver doesn't work, try a needle or a razor (mind your fingers!).
Step 2) With the lid off, you'll see two dials.
The one closest to the tip of the pen adjusts the sensitivity.
The one closest to the cap adjusts the offset. This is the one we'll need to fix this issue. (Might as well tweak both whilst you're at it)
Carefully make tiny adjustments (and I mean really tiny) to these dials. Test it on the tab every time, you don't need to re-attach the button to test it. They go both ways, so play with it 'till you're satisfied with the result. (On my previous one I had to turn it a whole 85º, on my new one only 5º.)
Step 3) If you're happy with the result, click the button back on. It only fits one way, and needs to be inserted very much like a battery: one side first. (The side pointing towards the cap)
That's it

That was very helpful, but still took a bit of fidgeting to get it off. For anyone trying it at home, here is a picture of the guts. The two tabs on the left click into rectangular hole.
My problem was that I tried to slide a blade along the edge and the cross piece would not let that happen. Perhaps the best way is to pry at the left 1/3 of the length and let the middle bulge up.
I did test the s6 at a retailer and I noticed that the Samsung Notes App did not recognize my handwriting in landscape mode at a specific place. It was when I did get closer with my palm to the edge (with power and volume button on the upper side).
At the middle kind of a little bit to the right there seems to be a blind spot where writing/drawing is not recognized in first place. Only after second or third attempt and then it seems like the recognition of the pressure is half off.
Don't know if the bright light from above or a already often used spen causes this.
Can any owner confirm?

Picture is attached (left space is empty because I did not encounter issues there)

Looks just like mine in this post. https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=80372311&postcount=16
Was it in a case or something else with magnets?

HAH.
Yes indeed it was on a stand with a magnet on top to hold the device. And that field where i could not draw would fit the size of that magnet..
Unbelivable that you have to keep such things in mind when you want to you a tablet with that price...
Does Apple have such problems with their ipad series? Im so much struggling in the decision if apple or samsung. Im a Android guy and would like to keep my Android world but i want a performant device which does not have childhood injuries like that....

It isn't the tablet, but the case/holder.
I have two cases. One which the tab slips in to a holder—no probs there.
My other case holds the tab (very securely) with a magnet—therefore the dead spot. Love this case, except for the dead spot ceated by the stting magnet. This an awesome case in every other way, especially because there is nothing blocking the sides of the tablet, no edge swipe issues, et al.
So, I've just accepted that if I want to do any serious S-pen writing or drawing I have to either go case-less, or switch to the other one.
