legendario13 the funny thing is people are stupid and they will make a mistake, I've had about a dozen people who emailed me in the last few weeks who have broke their phone from inserting it backwards. It's still a design flaw, they should have made it child proof.
i seriously can not thank you enough for this video. i thought i was going to be screwed. lol and i did it by accident in the dark. ill never make that mistake again. THANK YOU! !!
You are a life saver. I was so dumb that I inserted the pen upside down. Then I stumbled upon your video and Voilà! Thank you again. You are an angel in disguise.
Unfortunately, believe it or not, things like this are considered a design flaw. Part of engineering is making it idiot proof. I work in engineering and its one of the things we have to consider when designing tooling for the idiots where I work. If you've ever actually had to bolt something to something else and you noticed that the bolt holes are not symmetrical, it is exactly for this reason. Engineers design things with asymmetrical bolt patterns so as the assembler does not bolt things together in the wrong orientation. They should have made the clicky portion slightly larger and counterbored the bottom so that it would fit flush but if it was inserted backwards it would merely go in an 1/8th of an inch and stop. That is what I would do for a redesign. No matter, I'm glad to see that there is a simple trick to get it out if you do end up getting it stuck.
Please do not take a chance with paper as it can tear and you might have some piece stuck in there. Plastic film is best, thickest film you can fit in smoothly. Also, another ugly prevention method is to grind off clicky end part so that you'll only mid section, atleast there won't be any part of a pen that'll get caught now. Just a thought.
anyone that goes to EDC and knows about the bracelets, this is similar to how this works. by that, I mean using a straw to push through the teeth of the bracelets to release/open it more when you accidentally tighten it too much. with this, you're basically using the lamination or whatever to push through the lock I guess and slide the pen out without the lock blocking it like the teeth on the edc bracelets would. so you could also use a straw for this method, it's the same concept and it would be a lot sturdier
Just a suggestion.. take the film, hold both ends and rub it on a corner of a desk or table. It will make it curl. Also, cut and round the corner off the entry point so the corner don't catch on anything.
As a preventative measure, you can use a fine, modeling file and file a notch in either side of the clicking end so the sensor levers can no longer catch it.
It's quite interesting that there are so many of these videos on how to repair the stuck S-Pen in Galaxy Note 5. I wonder how many people have broken their phones by forcefully removing the pen. Also I wonder how it impacts functionality of the phone- does it make the pen useless? Does it do more than just pen
I accidentally did this while sleepy...just used a plastic straw I cut in half lengthwise. I find the paper and acetate too flimsy and at a point they both seemed to crinkle up and not insert. The straw is sturdier and worked faster...and I was not having to worry that part of it would break off in there.
Hi We could also a use a straw for better traction. Coz for people the aligning the paper would be a problem. Using a straw works better for a lot of people because the curve is already there. Use a medium sized straw. Hope it helps.
thank you! i ended up putting my stylus in without looking and didnt realize it was backwards! I used your method and it worked!! Think i broke the sensor, but thats okay ♡ thank you
thanks man life saver! i was gonna yank it out but figured that someone might have encoutered this before and find some way to save the phone, woosh thank you genius who found the way to do it!
had to do this like 100 times but it finally worked! I used plastic from a old binder notebook and pulled the pen little by little with my teeth instead of my fingers,
I don't understand people who are arguing that this isn't a design flaw. Make something, make it not break when it is put in the wrong way. THAT IS WHAT DESIGN SHOULD BE. It should be considered, it's such an easy thing to do, it's like your phone self-destructing when you accidentally hold it upside down and then people replying saying "duhhh just don't hold it upside down" ????. Placing a stylus the wrong way wrong into the Note shouldn't be something I should be worried about, I should be like "oh let me put it the right way". If it's not a flaw let me see you be happy with the Note 6 having the exact same issue because why should they change it if isn't a flaw? If it isn't something that needs to be changed? Samsung fanboys ffs
Depends on make and model of the gun and magazine but I won't get I to that. The fact that it's not designed to go in backwards doesn't make it a design flaw.
Got my Note 5 yesterday, and for some stupid reason, I inserted the pen backwards, just to see what happens, and yes, I broke the sensor (So I thought) after I yanked the pen out like an idiot. After a night of regret, I inserted the pen backwards again today, thinking to myself "what's the worst that could happen?".. So I stuck it back in, slowly, until I felt a small vibration, then I pulled it back out...and my sensor is working again! So maybe my sensor didn't break, but just got out of its position. Feel free to try it out if your pen is stuck and you yanked it out. It may or may not work.
Thanks alot man, it works! For everyone else who got their SPen stuck in there, i used a screen protector from one of my old phones and had it cut just like the OP did, have good patience and you'll get it out in no time. :)
I know a guy who works for Samsung. I showed him this same video and he then told me that this would be an out of warranty repair because it is considered physical damage to the device itself; especially if you do damage the sensor that is built inside the device. He also told me that if you put your pen in backwards an attempt to take apart your device on your own that will also void out your warranty with Samsung! So then here is a thought! Don't put your pen in backwards.
Worked as a magic... Thanks man. Oh yeah had to do two three times and it just bounced out almost at the point it stops going in, i tried going in and out several times and that's when it just popped out.. Tested the pen function after that and works like nothing happened. Kudos!!!!'
This video is a life saver. Accidentally Inserted backward, I was so worried about the air view sensor clip. Luckily nothing happened to the sensor trying this trick :)
You can still use your S pen even if the sensor is broken. go Settings -> S Pen Settings -> Scroll down to see S Pen Power Saver and disable it. now you can take it out and use it as normal
I had gotten my Note 5 the second day the phone released from AT&T and the next day at night, I was sitting in my couch with nothing to do so I was admiring the beauty of the phone. I had the pen in my hand and wondered if it would fit backwards. It did. And I yanked it out. The pen then had trouble going back into the phone and the LED lights of the menu buttons stopped working. I went in on Monday to AT&T and told them they gave me a defective model and walked out the door with a new one :3 Never going through that heartache again (hopefully)
All Samsung has to do is make the bottom part(the click end) a bit bigger or fatter, the old Palm Pilot phones had this and it was impossible to put in the stylus in backwards.
Oh my god oh my god thanl you sooo much. My dad's company gave him a note 5 and he put his two phones in the washroom and i went in before him and played around with his Samsung imstead of his iphone and i just stupidly jammed it in the wrong way and my dad was looking for it. I got scared, and smuggled it into my room. I watched a couple of other videos but they all required to get to the motherboard and i dont have the equipment ,i came across this one and tried it but i got through the first lock and then my dad knocked on the door coz he thoight it was me , and i just bit on the plastic and yanked that sucker out. My dad thinks that i was messing with him and told me off , but id much rather tell him that compared to the fact that i almost broke hos company's phone 😬 Sorry dad
my pen is stuck in further (only approx. 1/2 inch sticking out) and there's no room for the paper or plastic to slide up as easily as yours. please advise
i mean u can prevent this from happening by making the clicker base a bit bigger by having a slightly larger disc, this way it wont go in randomly? just saying my thoughts~
Scary video glad you did it instead of me. Needless to say I favorited that video and subscribed; just in case on a drunk night I put it in backwards. And yes folks even smart people make mistakes... we call them accidents.
I have a question. How can I recover deleted photos and documents after a return to factory settings .... if you can. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S6.
can't you put a bit of adhesive tape on the top end of the pen, so it will cover the bump and never get stuck?well yeah adhesive tape can be annoying but it should work
Why when I just got it out and I thought when I send it back in the slot it work normal, but now I have keep using a needle or paper to pull out if I do want to write with it. Can it fix?
hey, what if you broke the sensor from inside..and that small little price of sensor falls on the ground and gets lost...will I be able to get my device fixed by warranty?? plz reply!?
im i the only one who doest have a note 5 but is just interested on how to fix it
+Lindall Cauley Nope. That's why I'm here too.
I always watch these kinds of videos :P and never have these beautiful devices
+Lindall Cauley I just watch anything that Max puts out.
Neither do I, but I hope I will soon
nope, thats why i also got here, so yeah... ur not the only one
Pull out, and push in. Pull out, and push in.
That's what she said.
is that ya 1st time ?
+Ab Samsung what?
+Copypasta King And not to "jerk it off"
Lol hahahhaa
🥲
how is it a design flaw if I make the mistake? if I put diesel in my car when it takes regular gas does the car have a design flaw?
it's because u put premium gas in your regular gas car and it blows up. fml
+mixflip agreed, if i put bullets backwards in a gun and it doesnt work, its now a design flaw
housetek but u can't put bullets in backwards, because they designed it correctly?
+mixflip , +Max lee (Zedomax)
Actually the casing of bullets it's designed that way due to the mechanical principles of the required seal with the gun barrel, the mechanism of the extractor and thus the magazine's design sorta developed to adapt to the ammor design.

I think a straw would work better. Cut it down the center and the natural curve would work better.
+jeff linduska with large diameter though
Nana A. Boateng any straw from a fast food restaurant should be perfect.
+jeff linduska a boba stra
Very clever. thx
aaaahh ! good idea ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
don't stick it in backwards
+Jeremy Pooran ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
***** lol
I put it in backward because I'm a rebel.
And if you do put it in the hole wrong, as stated at 1:08 don't jerk it off
My stupid brother put it and now I'm in a pickle rn
Haven't made this mistake with the S_Pen...yet. Glad to see there's a possible way out should it happen! Thanks.
You are a life saver. I was so dumb that I inserted the pen upside down. Then I stumbled upon your video and Voilà!
Thank you again. You are an angel in disguise.

But how will you take the spen out?
We did exactly that in our video. Check it out.
anyone that goes to EDC and knows about the bracelets, this is similar to how this works. by that, I mean using a straw to push through the teeth of the bracelets to release/open it more when you accidentally tighten it too much. with this, you're basically using the lamination or whatever to push through the lock I guess and slide the pen out without the lock blocking it like the teeth on the edc bracelets would. so you could also use a straw for this method, it's the same concept and it would be a lot sturdier
The only design flaw here is the user's intelligence
It's like stuffing a sandwich up yo ass and complain that you're still hungry. The sandwich goes in your mouth, not your ass.
Vikas Malineni of course they should, what they shouldnt do is complain that it is a design flaw
Just a suggestion.. take the film, hold both ends and rub it on a corner of a desk or table. It will make it curl. Also, cut and round the corner off the entry point so the corner don't catch on anything.
Damn wish u told me couple hours ago but great idea!
+Max Lee (Zedomax) does spen detection still work?
petey1115 yup it does
Yeah super doper idea!!
As a preventative measure, you can use a fine, modeling file and file a notch in either side of the clicking end so the sensor levers can no longer catch it.

In regards to #SpenGate, you guys are definitely doing more than Sammy. Kudos !!!
I can confirm this method works. Just be really patient and keep on it, don't force it out.
thanks man life saver! i was gonna yank it out but figured that someone might have encoutered this before and find some way to save the phone, woosh thank you genius who found the way to do it!
had to do this like 100 times but it finally worked! I used plastic from a old binder notebook and pulled the pen little by little with my teeth instead of my fingers,
you're the man!!! I don't have my note 5 yet but now I have your vid in my mind!!!
Thanks, I got bored and wondered what would happen if I put it in backwards...
accidentally got it stuck.its much easier than using the paper.thanx man!

I feel bad for retail store employees who have to deal with trolls coming in and doing this hahaha
Pull out and push in.. omg that feels so good😍
Can't wait for your disassembly video.
Awesome job Max Lee!

it's called " put it in the the right way first" just like the different shapes and holes table in preparation school.
You can still use your S pen even if the sensor is broken.
go Settings -> S Pen Settings -> Scroll down to see S Pen Power Saver and disable it. now you can take it out and use it as normal
I pulled s pen and it has came very esily but it doesnt working. i think the sensor has been broken. cant we make it as it before? except ur method
No you can't unless you open your phone up and replace the little plastic thing.
Ghaith kridi Thank you for that info! was really going to take this back life saver Sir 👍👍

How is this a design flaw? Just put the pen correctly, and no problem. Nice work getting it out.
so many innuendos in here that it makes my head want to implode :O
Great video Max, Thanks man.
thank you sooooo much my daughter just did that , and it's broke my heart till I saw this video and it works. u just make my day
Took me an hour but I worked!!!
Nice work bro, more people need to know about this.
All Samsung has to do is make the bottom part(the click end) a bit bigger or fatter, the old Palm Pilot phones had this and it was impossible to put in the stylus in backwards.
pull out, push in
pull out, push in
pull out, push in
You can use the Straw, cut in length and that's more easier.
u r really awesome!!! wt ever u say I never consider it.....u made it!and u got simple solution for this spen gate prob
What about using a thin, cheap plastic straw of the appropriate size/diameter ? The cheap ones are usually pretty thin.
Open up a plastic straw down the middle and force it down, the straw is a little more rigid than that film .
This guy is so entertaining :)
it works! it did work for us. kudos to this tutorial 👏👏👏
+Max Lee how is it a design flaw, if they tell you in the booklets that you're not supposed to stick the S-Pen backwards?
Oh my god oh my god thanl you sooo much. My dad's company gave him a note 5 and he put his two phones in the washroom and i went in before him and played around with his Samsung imstead of his iphone and i just stupidly jammed it in the wrong way and my dad was looking for it.

thank you so much .. if i can add note that jucie straw sepcific size will be perfect for this job
I like all your videos!
Thank you so much. Got it out after 30 mins on trying.
this worked perfectly well!!!!! i managed to takeout my s pen but it stopped detecting it!!!
Thank you so much for solving my problem. Im so satisfied. Well for short imformation i used a paper
Hey thanks for the shout out I appreciate it!!!
my pen is stuck in further (only approx. 1/2 inch sticking out) and there's no room for the paper or plastic to slide up as easily as yours. please advise
Brilliant! This worked great! Thanks!
can you please port the always on display feature for the note 5.. all the apps just kill the battery.
this worked faster than I though, I used a piece of paper. thank you for this video.
guys it is a design flaw... samsung fixed it in note 7....
did you know that you can also push it all the way in kinda like wiggle it then pull it out and it will come out
the pen for the note 4 I discovered it does going backwards to but I did not push it all the way in I wonder do you know about that
i mean u can prevent this from happening by making the clicker base a bit bigger by having a slightly larger disc, this way it wont go in randomly? just saying my thoughts~
so many puns can be said in this video lol
awesome as always. see you on that Amazon warrior
Does this only work if its only stuck on the first lock mechanism? What if its stuck on the 2nd lock?
What if ONLy the TIP OF THE PEN got stuck? Is it possible to take it off without opening?
Slice a straw down the middle giving it a wokable adjustment might work better.
Good Work
just pull out & push in
Scary video glad you did it instead of me. Needless to say I favorited that video and subscribed; just in case on a drunk night I put it in backwards. And yes folks even smart people make mistakes... we call them accidents.
I have a question. How can I recover deleted photos and documents after a return to factory settings .... if you can. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S6.
lov'n these videos man!
Great video as always Lee and of course I stay high on android 😎
Awesome man! You saved my day!
can't you put a bit of adhesive tape on the top end of the pen, so it will cover the bump and never get stuck?well yeah adhesive tape can be annoying but it should work
What if its on the opposite side and it cant come out- Like how we usually put back the S pen. Mines went all the way in and it cant come out.
why would anyone put it in backwards in the first place?
I believe it's easyer with a cut straw. But nice tip.
what if u broke the clicking part of the stylus stuck in the phone
Rosario Montoya open it
hey man quick question. its saying on my phone "software update" should i upgrade or not? i heard that ur not suppose to but what do u sudjest
man , you are awesome bro , thank you
max lee hello from Greece...
i want to buy a samsung galaxy note 5
sm 920c or sm 920l is better to buy??
Thank you sooooooooooooo much lots of love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
it works
Why when I just got it out and I thought when I send it back in the slot it work normal, but now I have keep using a needle or paper to pull out if I do want to write with it. Can it fix?
Hi, My pen is stuck and it is impossible to use the paper technique. Please help.
worked perfectly thanks
better than the phone bending...just saying
I have an idea! Maybe a straw cut longways?
hey, what if you broke the sensor from inside..and that small little price of sensor falls on the ground and gets lost...will I be able to get my device fixed by warranty??
plz reply!?
Omg, it freaking works!!!! Im sooo happy!! Thanks!!!
2 Nov 15. I tried bis way and it worked really well. Thank You!!
Hi, bro, the position of my Spen is like that, but the button is broken inside. How to get it out?
I can't believe that people are so stupid why would they put there S pen backward in the S gate this just another sorry excuse
