Is anyone else having problems with their s pen? It's weird it will actually click on whatever I'm hovering over when I'm at the exact height when u would see the cursor appear from hover view. Had the phones for 2 days with no problems I don't know what happened

does this happen every time or just occasionally?

its random but its only exactly when u get to the point when the cursor would appear from hover view. but really annoying when trying to scroll thru a long list and when u swipe and move the pen up it jumps to somewhere else on the list, or something else is clicked just moving the s pen to the screen to use it. im ordering another s pen from samsung. hopefully thats the problem and i prey not the screen. im wondering if i tapped on the spen to hard or pressed to hard when drawing and messed it up

Pop the button cover off on the S Pen and twist the left potentiometer slightly clockwise. It adjusts the sensitivity of the pen and will fix this problem. I had the same issue and fixed it this way.

I'm getting this problem.

What do you mean by button cover?
The button looks joined to the pen by solid plastic.

Working that potentiometer did the trick for me too. You guys are great!

    I was so happy I made a video on how to do it!
