[Q] S Pen Calibration

---

My S Pen doesn't seem very accurate. When I touch the screen with it, it is off by a couple of millimeters. This is very annoying when drawing.

Is there a way to calibrate the screen/pen or something?

Well, that "problem" it isn't that. They need to do that because they want you to see the line that are you drawing.

If you enter in to the options of the drawing pen and change to left handed, you will see how that millimeters move to the other side of the pen. So, 1 2 up and 1 or 2mm left/right are necessary and it is how the wacom screens works. In other side I have tried a lot of wacom devices and this is one of the most accurate.

The only problem that I see it is the pen that if you don't give enough pressure it doesn't works, and if you give much, then it will writes in "bold" rather than skinny lines.

Try to move the pen without pressing it, only light slide and see how it doesn't do anything.

Other funny thing on the wacom devices is that the accuracy is not the same in the center of the screen and in the side of it. Problems of magnetism

Did you try pen pressure with autodesk sketchbook, is it working ?

Hi

Just a quick question for you who have the phone and use the pen. When you use your pen for drawing, what happens when your hand (which you hold the pen with) touches the screen? It must be annoying always to write without touching the screen with the hand/fingers like you would do if you were to write with an ordinary pen on a classic paper.

The good thing is that u can touch the screen with finger when u write, unlike pure capacitive screen

If u touch the note with finger u will get a mark, ie u can use ur finger to write on the note

If u touch the area of screen above the note, the note app disappears to show the app beneath it and when u remove the finger the note comes back. This is to jot down things from the app beneath it. Hope this makes sense.

I'm curious, are you left handed?
There is a setting: settings -> pen settings -> dominant hand.
I changed mine to left handed (which I am), and when my right handed friend used it, he complained that it was off by a millimeter or too to the right.

Thats not an issue as when the pen is touching (so it's active), the screen will no longer accept any additional touches. So with your fingers, multi touch will be active for upto 10 (I believe) seperate touches at once, but as soon as the pen is touching the screen, it will only pick up the pen and no additional touches from your fingers etc so you can rest your fingers on the screen while you are writing.

Thanks for the explanation that makes sense nevertheless the offset is annoying and difficult to get used to.

Try this. It works for me.
