What's some of the best apps to make full use of the S Pen?

Also, where is the calender full screen widget?

Had mine delivered yesterday, very nice!
Looks like Nova Launcher is causing some battery drain which not everyone is having, anybody here had to avoid Nova? That would be a shame although I'm sure it would be fixed shortly.

I'm using Nova and I'm getting a great amount of battery life. Sometimes it can last me two whole days. I use other battery optimisation apps also.

If you are feeling creative Autodesk sketchbook, my drawing skills leave much to be desired but even i am impressed with what can be achieved with this powerful little app, for a perfect example check out Plunk13' post further up the page.

As for a calendar widget, check out the S Planner widget there are 4 options to choose from, one of them is a 4x4 full page month calender, the other is a 4x3 month calender with a transparent background (I use this one).

guys,

I am have very high usage on the exchange services process with this phone.
Is this a known bug on this software version? My note 2 doesn't have any such issues.

I've seen his picture and it's very impressive. Far beyond my own skills. I've tried another drawing app called ArtFlow. This app seems much better and you can even export this to work with Photoshop.

About the widget, I've looked on the store but haven't found anything. Where is this? Currently the only S Planner widget I'm able to get is 2x2.

On mine it shows the standard S-Planner widget with 4 different styles.
thats with no modifications, just Stock BTU ROM, all updates applied.

@Kona - please can you recommend me a stylish launcher and an icon pack please. Ideally it would need to not affect the awesome battery life. I'm running 3's firmware and not rooted.

Cheers mate

Probably because your using Nova. Check on the stock launcher.

Ah right, I see what you mean, thanks.

I wish Nova would allow the extra widgets

I don't like how when using another launcher you can't put post-it notes on the homescreen. I'd like to be able to use Google Now launcher but the lack of post-it note widgets is a big turn off for me.

Never had an issue with mine?

Hunders · 23 Dec 2014 at 10:08

Works every single time for me. Is it in a case?

I have the wireless s-view case and I also struggle with it, but I have found that being more gentle helps, I was trying to push my finger on to the sensor, but actually a light touch seems to work better..

Still, out of the case, it works well all the time!

steve45 · 23 Dec 2014 at 10:24

depends on what case i use, my current spigen wallet case works almost everytime first try, same goes for when i'm using it with no case, but most other cases i have tryed either take multiple attempts, dosnt work or provides false readings.
