S-Pen air actions - "disconnected"

[1911wolf]

All of a sudden the s pen will not work for air commands.

It worked perfectly for about 10 days.

If you go into the s pen settings menu, the picture says "disconnected"

When placing the pen into the phone it tries to connect and then states "disconnected"

I have tried to connect the phone via choosing to connect from the status bar menu icon, from within the s pen menu and also from the quick settings icon.

I have tried -

* Reset the pen - click the "s pen air actions" icon from quick settings and re-connect

* Putting the pen into the phone and clicking re-connect, this brings up the "loading" type screen with the text connecting to your s pen...it say's it is connecting and then says "couldn't connect to your s pen"

* Reset phone - i have done...general settings>reset settings and also general settings>network settings

Any ideas?

I simply reset the pen, or factory reset and last option flash firmware. One or the other works for me.

I'm loath to factory reset the phone as it is set up.

It is only the air commands that don't work, the stylus still works for everything else

Update - pen randomly connected and worked perfectly for about 24hrs...then disconnected and is doing the same as before.

Samsung customer service has told me i need to go to a service centre to get everything checked...i'll update with what they say

My S Pen is not connecting. Stylus is working fine on the phone but the air actions are disconnected. It used to work fine earlier. Can anyone help please? I have tried to reset S pen already. Still not getting connected.

Hiya, Could you please tell me whats the update on this?

I have faced this exact problem today... 

Hello to everyone, first I like to make clear that English isn't my native language, so please, if you didn't understand me please have a little patience.  Now to my problem, my S Pen is working as intended but there is a little problem. Whenever I take my Pen off the tablet the Air Actions disconnect, I already have tried to reset it on the app and restarting the whole tablet but the problem keep happening, the S Pen connects its say that have full battery and when I take it off to use it, the Air Actions disconnected and cant use it as intended.  Can anyone tell me why is this happening? It never happens before and is really strange that I reset it and its seems fine until you take it out of the back and it automatically disconnect. 

This is was a writing to post in this forum but as i see it is the exact problems as yours, it only connects when it the backside of the tablet but when i take it out  it disconnet it... its a weird issue a i never seen before... I read that maybe a factory reset will help but i dont wanna try thi extreme meassure yet...

The best way to resolve this issue is to sell the phone and buy an iphone

Hello There, I there any luck with this connection for the air commands issue? I own a Note 10+, while the S Pen writes perfectly on screen. I can't seem to get the S Pen connected to use the air commands. Sometimes it shows connected battery 100% for about a second or two then back to disconnected. Does this mean I need to purchase a replacement S pen?

1. On Removing the S Pen. the Spen Menu comes up with Disconnected for the pen status

2. Advanced features in Settings

7. Back button

10. Well I took the S Pen out and pressed the button on the S Pen but no luck. Don't think my S Pen has an LED

11. Stick the S Pen Back in the phone,  phone says Connecting...
