Fix Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra S Pen Not Working

Restart Phone

If it’s a minor bug, then with a simple restart S Pen will start working again. Once the phone reboots fully, S Pen will reconnect.

  1. Press and hold Power Off button and choose Restart. Confirm Restart.

Remove Case or any other Accessories

Fortunately, or sadly, we have a plethora of alternatives when it comes to Screen Protectors, Cases, and other accessories. Not all of them guarantee full compatibility with the Samsung S22 Ultra, and if you’ve chosen such a case, screen protector, or other accessories, it may create such problems. Magnetic closures and clasps may interfere with the S Pen and prevent it from responding. The same goes with screen protectors; try removing the case and then giving it a shot. If it doesn’t work, you could want to remove the screen protector as well.

Change S Pen Tip

S Pen Tip requires replacement over time, however if your S Pen is brand new and you’re confident that no harm has been done to the S Pen, you shouldn’t be concerned if you still need to replace the S Pen Tip. You should have gotten a S Pen replacement tip in the box; use it to replace it.

  1. With the help of changing tool, remove the old S Pen tip.
  2. And then gently push the new S Pen tip by hand only, you’ll hear a slight click sound when tip is inserted correctly.

Use S Pen with Alternate Device

Do you own another Samsung Note or S Series device? Then you may try S Pen with different devices, and if it works flawlessly, there is no problem with S Pen. All Galaxy Note phones are compatible with the S Pen, but only the Samsung Galaxy S21 Series is compatible with the S Pen when it comes to the Samsung Galaxy S Series.

If your S Pen does not function with other compatible devices, you can get it replaced or repaired.

If S Pen is Not Working on Bottom Part of Screen

The bottom part of the display has a navigation bar and that could be a reason why the S Pen is not working on the lower part of the screen, but working everywhere else.

  • Tap or touch the lower part of the screen slowly when using the S Pen.
  • Enable multiple S Pens settings on your device. Navigate to Settings, select Advanced features, and then tap S Pen. Tap the switch next to Allow multiple S Pens to turn this on or off.
  • Disable Block gestures with S Pen. Navigate to Settings, tap Display, and then tap Navigation bar. Under Swipe gestures, tap the switch next to “Block gestures with S pen” to turn this off.
  • Use Navigation buttons instead of Navigation gestures. Navigate to Settings, tap Display, and then tap Navigation bar. Tap Navigation buttons, and then try using the S Pen.
