Tab S6 Lite - S Pen issues

[Killerkara_4]

Hi I'm new to the Samsung Community, anyways here's my issue, I recently bought this Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite, not 2 weeks ago, and issues just started to happen, I tried to set it to factory reset hoping it would fix but it would not let me, and then my pen goes, meaning every time I try to turn a page from a book from Google Play, the pages don't turn, and the whole bottom paragraph is highlighted, I have not stopped not rough handled it in any way, it just started to do this to me, I went to the Samsung contact and they couldn't even help me I was told by them to go to the nearest tech store to get it looked at. Is there anyone that knows how to correct the 2nd issue of the pen?

The issue the the pen is what I am having the most problems with, I know I can't press hard or it might break being so darn fragile, but I need a solution in how to correct the problem or do I have to get a new pen? I don't think another pen that is not programed to this tablet will work will it?

does anyone know how to fix the pen or do I have to replace it?

Sounds like there could be an issue with the screen or the S Pen. First, try restarting your tablet and see if there’s any software update available. You can also unpair and repair the S Pen in the settings. If that doesn’t fix it, clean the S Pen tip and the screen. If it still doesn’t work, it might be a hardware problem, so you’ll need to take it to a tech store.

I am having the same issues. It worked great for the first few weeks then slowly started messing up. I found someone saying the magnet in a case is what was screening with the spen on the S6 Lite because the provided spen is magnetized and not powered. I took my case off, factory reset and no change. I started rubbing the spen with magnets and it started helping a little bit it's still not usable. I think we need to purchase a Pro Spen or a powered one. I used my powered Spen from my 2019 Tab S6 and that pen works beautifully on the 2024 tab S6 Lite.

So it's a design flaw, but at least I know that I just need a powered Spen for it to work properly.
