Anyone have this issue ? My s-pen can open apps and type characters on the keyboard even when not touching the screen ( about 1 centimeter away from screen ) :confused: , Also there is no pointer on the screen when i hover s-pen over screen :confused:

I had more or less the same issue time ago, with another s pen, it kept drawing for about 3 mm while not touching the screen, got another s pen, and everything fine, go claim warranty ASAP

Maybe did you drop the spen and the needle got stacked, try to remove it and use a new one, before warranty claim. I had the same issue with note 4 spen.
