awhile ago the tip on my S pen broke so i replaced it with one that came with the tab and it sporadically worked for a little while then just stopped working completely and i cant seem to find much info on how to get it working again... Im wondering if there is an app i cant try clearimg the cache or somethin like that or is there a way to reinitialize it so the tab will recognize it any help i could get would be much appreciated
please help me
same problem... is your problem solved?
Same thing happened to me as my tip broke. Replacing the tip is all you need to do. Are you sure the new tip is centered correctly? Pull the tip out and reinsert it.
Used wrong tip (from other device)
I experienced the same problem with my Galaxy Tab S3 S Pen when I by mistake put in a tip that I got for my old Galaxy Note 4 S Pen. They look very alike, but apparently they are not. After I realized my mistake and switched to the correct tip, everything started working normally again.

Hello friends of xda. I own a Samsung Galaxy S2. Phone was perfect till today. I don't know why but the phone messed up today. It opens the voice control automatically, reacts as if it was connected to an usb ,even if its not. Tried to flash with odin but after 10min of normality the problem persists again. I took perfect care of my phone.Never felt from my hands or got wet with water.
Please somebodz help as i don't know what to do.
Thanks and keep the good work going
cheers friend
i guess you could always go into settings and see if you could disable it.Try a factory re-set.If all else fails then root your phone and freeze or delete the app with titaniun so it wont work anymore.

Micro usb socket got dirt in it?
Thanks for your help. I fixed it by wiping the dalvik cache and re-flashing another rom.
All is fine now. Thanks for your help. You are the best guys. keep the good work going.
Hello guys. I have a serious issue with my atrix. My touchscreen stops to work completely random. I've had this problem for a long time but when I restarted the phone, everything was ok for months. Yesterday it stopped completely. I was with the original ROM and put CWM and tried few roms. When I install new rom the touchsreen works perfect for X time. Last night I put jellybean and everything was ok for 2,3 hours. Then it started f*cking up. My phone rings and I can't pick up, turn off the display from the fingerprint button then turn it on again and it works. Later it got worse and now even a restart does not help. Phone works, rings and everything but I can't even unlock it?! I haven't tried changing the kernel yet, because I know nothing how to do that and there is not much how-to on the internet about that. I guess it's not a hardware problem, so maby it's the kernel. I'm quite a noobie in this stuff, but I read alot and I'll apreciate your help. 10x
Which Rom are you using
are you using leaked ICS or CM10/AOKP by epinter or Th3Bill.
before trying kernel i would suggest trying using a different rom, CM10 by epinter works fine for most of the users
Definately the problem was the kernel. I have some success, changed few kernels and the problem showed even trying to install CM10, you know the installation is made by touching stuff. Now i managed to make it work by installing 2.3.6 kernel + GB 2.3.6 and it is working so far. I'll test it for few days to see if it will die again and then try CM10 with the newer kernel. Last night I flashed CM10 and everything was ok for few hours, then the touch started making trouble and eventually stopped working completely. Will post update tommorow to tell if it is ok.
edit: It didn't last 1 hour, died again. Restart doesnt help. Phone works fine, but no touch response. Don't know what to do... different kernels and roms and same problem every time. Waiting for any ideas...
i have the same problem, ive tried a couple of different roms too. does your capacitative touch buttons stop working as well?
Try PDS Fix, else its digitizer
it looks more like a hardware problem, atrix digitizer are quite well known for such failures..
though i think it is not a PDS problem, i would suggest try PDS Fix once, it has helped a few
Get it from here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131649
If this doesn't work i would suggest get a new digitizer off and replace it.
It's sound like a hardware problem definitely.The first thing you should do is to check the ribbon cables and connections.If it does not help you may need to replace the touch digitizer panel.
ropin1 - Yes, the capacitative touch buttons stop working aswell.
I'd have to read more about this PDS fix, because I have no idea what're you talking about.
So you are saying, that I have to change the digitizer only? I saw on ebay, that you can buy the digitizer with the cable on it for about 20$.
edit: I just disassembled the phone and checked all the cables and connections. Everything seems fine to me. Reassembled the phone and the screen still doesn't respond. Maby I just have to get a new digitizer... :/
Hi everyone, hope you can help me beacause im at my witts end.
In the last year, my galaxy s2's screen has occasionally stopped responding, the os was still running and everything so it wasnt frozen, my touch screen just simply stopped working. Only way to fix it was to hit the back of the phone and do a battery reset. This issue started poping up more and more, and now it won't respond.
Some info you might want to know:
Model: GT-I9100M
Age:~2 1/2 years old
No custom roms/kernels have ever been installed, has always run off the stock.
Never been dropped or had water on it (I took very good care of it)
The nav bar at the bottom (back/search/options/menue) and hardware buttons all work. Everything above the screen no longer works.
What iv done:
Iv reset the phone, did a bettery pull for the night, fully charged it, looked at the board and checked all the connections (all good). Would flashing a custom rom/kernel be something to try next? I read in a forum that someone had a similar issue to me and did that, but it didnt help.
Has anyone had a similar issue with their touchscreen? Why would the bottom nav bar work but no the rest of the screen? Could it be locked somehow? If it is.. how would I unlock it?
Thanks alot guys..

Maybe somethin is lose, take it to a repair shop
Dear Guru, Developers and Users
Today I encountered a strange problem.
I've been using my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 (with a lock PIN) for about a year.
I didn't change the PIN and it was the same PIN all the time.
However, as of this morning, when I woke up, I used it to check emails.
After that I went shower and when I came back and tried to unlock it, it said incorrect PIN.
I did type in correct same PIN that has been using for a year.
But, now it keeps on saying it's wrong.
I really don't know what else to do other than hard reset and I don't really understand why.
So, please kindly help me and share your experiences/knowledge to overcome this.
:crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:
PS: I installed a new keyboard a week ago. Is that the cause? But, it was working fine until now.
Thanks!

It saved my life. luckily, I've linked my Samsung account before with the device.
Ok guys, first post here. My galaxy tab model GT-P5113TS is having an issue that I can't seem to find on any site including this one.
Little background, this problem first started several months ago. My wife ran the battery completely dead on the tab, we didn't have a "samsung" charger and couldn't get it to charge up. Bought new charger, got it charged, and ever since then, the screen will work for anywhere from 15-20 seconds to 3 or 4 minutes, then just stops working. Hitting the power button will turn the screen off, hitting it again brings up the lock screen, but the screen will still not recognize any touches. The side buttons still work, just not the touch screen.
Letting the tab sit for a couple hours is the ONLY thing that lets the touch screen work again. But it will only work for a minute or two again before it stops working. I tried a soft reset several times to no avail. Kind of forgot about the tab, left it for a while. Picked it up today after charging it and still no different than a couple months ago. I tried the factory reset several times and it made no difference. Usually the screen won't stay responsive long enough to make it through the whole set up process.
I'm pretty new to digging into these things. I'm not afraid to give it a shot, since the thing is useless in its current state. But most of the lingo and abbreviations are new to me. If anyone can point me towards a solution, I'd be VERY grateful! I'll do my best to answer any questions to help as well.
PS, we bought it used off ebay, so no warranty
Bump for some help!!

Well, you're in the wrong forum. This is the forum for the gt p7500/7501/7510/7511 or the galaxy tab 10.1 number 1 if you will.
So we can't help you, even if we wanted too (unless someone in this forum also owns a tab 2).
I suggest you take a look in the correct forum, I'm sure you'll have better luck there.

XDA is a big place and it's sometimes a bit complicated to get where you want to go so no worries, we've all been there at one point ?
