I just bought the polar pen.. its an awesome pen that built from strong magnets, and its also a stylus. but on my s4 i9500, the strong magnet triggers s-view cover like effect when im pointing the upper left corner of the screen. so if I want to draw and reaching that point, the screen shaping to s-view mode (black screen with clock at the top).

I know I can disable the auto unlock in the settings. but is there a way to completly disable the s-view support??? its extremly annoying :(

If your phone is rooted, you can browse to your system folder and delete the sviewcoverservice.apk (or something along those lines). Or use TiBu to find the process and disable/freeze it.

you mean titanium backup? can i use root uninstaller? cuz i already have it.
and if so, how do i navigate and find this process? and if i delete/freeze it, will it effect other things in the system? make it unstable?

update: i disabled the process, and its only turn the screen black, without the clock. i uninstalled it and same thing - black screen.
its still feeling the magnet and "lock" the screen :(
