When I go to use my S pen , it not writing on the screen , when I do get it to eventually write it then disappear when I put the pen back on the screen,  but every thing else works with the pen except the writing part of it . I have reset the pen and I have also replaced the nib part . Anyone else have any idea why it is doing this ?

Is there a clickable button on the pen that is stuck? I remember something similar happened to someone I know and that was the issue

Good day.

I am from SA. Using note 20 (sm-n981b). Bought the phone 2nd hand. They said screen burn in but that was all. I am NOT using a cover or screen protector. Fingers work even where pen will not. Pen skips some parts of screen. See pic. I fw update with the code. I format phone. Even installed android 14 rom 

Thanks for any help

Is there anything magnetic on your case? I just had this issue but the blank spot was a big O and it turns out my mag safe ring interfered with the pen. I took it off and pen works as it should. No issues with the case just the big magnet

Good day. 

As you can see in my post. No cover or even screen protector. Just bought the phone, and area I am in do not have covers for my phone.

I fixed it by replacing screen. But even new screen is giving problems. Goes black and unresponsive when it was in pocket. Had to remove back and battery to be able to restart the phone. Then have to restart 3 or more times as screen will flicker and make lines. I ended up putting old screen back.
