[Q] S-pen dead spot on screen

[magyosha]

hi all
i have a strange problem on my 1 day old note2
i have been playing with all the feature and have discovered a sort of dead area when using the pen
load up snote/memo or anything else using the pen
then on the right hand side when using the pen there is a square about 1cm in size that does not detect the pen when applying NORMAL pressure, using my finger its fine.. then to make it more odd if i apply i little more pressure it picks up the pen.. when applying pressure the line being drawn is more bold everywhere until i draw over the dead spot when it becomes a lighter line ie nor picking up the same pressure,,
i hope my very bad explanation is understood lol..
phone is 1 day old and i'm not sure if i have a fault or a bug
firmware is stock thailand

Do you have a case on?

Do you have a case on?

yes.. small unobtrusive one
just tested without case and no problem
confused

Does your case have a magnet on the side of where your S-Pen does not work?

It happened with me as well.

yup.. thats the problem
having more info in hand google was my friend

:Apprarantly this problem occurs if you use a case with a magnet. The area will correspond with the location of the magnet.Samsung’s user manual clearly states not to use it with cases that have magnets. People have also commented on how this effects the internal compass too. Prolonged exposure will apparently result in the internals getting magnetized – no way out then!

People have reported that even after removing the magnetic case, it take between 24-48 hours for the effects to disappear. .!:

very worrying
i wonder if there is a way to block the magnet in the case from effecting the note..
otherwise its throw out the new case
