Spen stopped working on zfold3

[skyatnight]

It's suddenly stopped working, when I restart the phone it connects for a few seconds then stops, I've tried removing the case as magnets can affect it, software is updated ,tried a new pen but no joy. Phone still works perfectly .

May I assume your using the official Samsung Fold sPens.

You could try the following >

• Clear Cache Files from the phone's System Partition Section  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-clear-the-cache-on-my-device/ You may need to insert your earphones or hook upto a powered On Laptop to access the Clear Partition Section. This may help with lag or stutters as this clears the phone of old/unused or broken cache files.There is also a Repair Apps option in the Menu System too. 
• Safe Mode  > https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-to-start-my-galaxy-device-in-safe-mode/ turns off downloaded apps and themes etc which may highlight an app or theme that's causing conflict. 

Also this is a tip from a Google Search below >

• How do I connect my S Pen to a Galaxy Z Fold3?

  Hold the S Pen close your your Z Fold3, then press and hold the S Pen's pairing button for three seconds until a pop-up recognizing the accessory appears on the screen. Select Connect to accept the connection.

A Samsung Service Centre can take a look at your phone @skyatnight
