How to enable and access Galaxy Note 4 air command?

What is Galaxy Note 4 air command?

Air command is a unique S Pen feature in Galaxy Note devices since Galaxy Note 3.  You can access some features very quickly by hovering the S Pen over the screen. It can dramatically increase your productivity  for some tasks.

In Galaxy Note 3, as discussed in this air command explained post, there are 5 commands: Action Memo, Scrapbook, Screen Write, S Finder, Pen Window.

In Galaxy Note 4, Samsung re-organize the actions into 4:

  1. Action memo: Write memos quickly and link actions to them. You can make calls, send messages, search the web, and more. This is almost identical to that in Galaxy Note 3
  2. New! Smart select: Collect content from the screen quickly. You can collect content from webpages or music and videos during playback.
  3. New! Image clip: Draw around an area of the screen you want to save or share. You can also crop part of an image.
  4. Screen write: Capture, edit, and write memos on screenshots, and then share them. This is actually one of the preferred method to take screenshot on Galaxy Note 4 as discussed in this guide.

galaxy_note_4_air_command

For the usage of these 4 actions in Galaxy Note 4 air command, we will create individual guide.

How to access Galaxy Note 4 air command?

By default, when you remove the S pen from the S Pen slot, Galaxy Note 4 air command will be shown on the screen.

This is due to the default settings in Settings– S Pen –Detachment options as shown below.

galaxy_note_4_air_command_settings_s_pengalaxy_note_4_air_command_settings_s_pen_detachment_options

As you may notice, actually, you can set the S Pen detachment options to action memo or none, instead of the air command.

Some owners are not aware that you can access Galaxy Note 4 air command at any time. I noticed some Galaxy Note 3 owners keep removing S Pen just to access air command.

Another way to access Galaxy Note 4 air command is  hovering  the S Pen over any part of the screen and press the S Pen button. So, you can access the air command whenever you want without putting back the S pen.

Please note,  you need release the S Pen button after pressing it, i.e., NOT holding the S Pen button.

How to enable/disable Galaxy Note 4 air command?

Sometimes, Galaxy Note 4 air command does not pop out when you take out the S pen or hover the S pen over the screen with S Pen button pressed.  You may accidentally disable the air command in your Galaxy Note 4.

To enable or disable Galaxy Note 4 air command, you can go to Settings–S Pen –Air command as shown below.

You may drag the switch to left to disable Galaxy Note 4 air command, right to enable it.

galaxy_note_4_air_command_settings_s_pen_air_command galaxy_note_4_air_command_settings_s_pen_air_command_enabled

Why air command is grayed out?

Some accessibility settings are NOT compatible with Galaxy Note 4 air command.

When you enabled such accessibility settings, there are the warning message. But most of time, nobody read it.

Anyway, if you find out air command in Galaxy Note 4 or Note 5 was grayed out, you can check the accessibility settings.  You need to turn off these settings to use air command.

Can you access and use Galaxy Note 4 air command now?

If you have any problems or questions using or accessing Galaxy Note 4 air command,   please post them in the comment box below.

We will try to help you find a solution.

      If you pull of the S Pen, what happens?

      When you hover the S Pen over the screen, can you see the pointer? (You can enable this in Settings — Controls tab –S pen –Pointer. You need to check Air command settings there as well)

      Very likely, you turned on some accessibility settings. Check your accessibility settings.

          As mentioned, check Settings – accessibility. Turn off any settings under accessibility, then check again.

            There are many entries in accessibility settings. You need check TalkBack, magnification gestures, hover zoom. Any of them can disable air command.

      Do you mean share screenshot? After taking screenshot, you can find the options (together with edit and scroll capture) in the bottom of the screenshot. But if you don’t take actions within about 3-5 seconds, screenshot will be saved automatically​. And you will return to wher you were before taking the screenshot. In other words, the screenshot will be shown on screen for only a few seconds.

    Hi, after the latest software update, i was facing some problems with frequent reboots on my note 4. It actually went to boot loops. However, it recovered. But after that the air command and spen itself stopped working. i have tried reboot many times with no positive result. finally decided to factory reset, this also went in vain. Did wipe data factory reset from recovery, that also did not help. Finally, my note 4 stays without its pen.

    Thinking of downloading the firmware from net and flashing it through odin. Comments pls.

      If it’s a hardware problem, flashing the phone will not help. But it seems you don’t have other options unless the phone is still under warranty.

    Samsung Note 4 Android 6.0.1
    When talking on the phone I want to make notes with screen write but I can’t because screen write us stuck in command mode and I can not select option buttons to get to the person I want to talk with.
    What is the fix other than re-interested the stylus to turn air command off and loose the notes I wrote.

      Not sure what exactly you want to do. Screen write allows you to take a screenshot (and you can add annotations). Why do you want to select contacts when using screen write?

      After you pull out of the s pen, do you see a pen icon on near the right edge of the screen?

      You can try to reboot the phone or clear cache partition to see whether it helps.

      You cannot remove the system updates. You can only flash the phone with old firmware. You can do this in local Samsung service center.

      It depends on lock screen security. the air command is available only when lock screen security is none or swipe.

      For security reasons, if the screen locked (and it requires pattern, PIN, password or fingerprint..), no apps can be launched except camera and emergency call.

      Screen write always take a screenshot. Then ask you to edit or write on it.

      What and where do you want to write?

      You can always write on the photos or screenshot when editing the photos or screenshot.

          Open the picture in the Gallery app. If you cannot see the edit menus on the top, tap the picture once. Tap the menu key (3 dots in top right), you can find the option “Write on image”. You can also write/draw in Studio.

          If the ROM is really for your region and model, the S pen should work. You may try to clear cache partition.

          Anyway, if you need S Pen, you should not try different roms.

          You can visit local Samsung service center to ask them to flush the correct firmware for you.

          Not sure. But it sounds like the ROM is not for your phone.

          After install the update, did you try to factory reset it again?

          As your phone is rooted, Samsung service center may consider it is out of warranty and you may have to pay to get it fixed (usually they will flush the correct ROM).

            yes i did because i came from kitkat to lollipop so i was having trouble with some apps being corrupted.

            what i will do is downgrade to kitkat 4.4.4 same as stock. because i read somewhere with the same case. their s-pen worked after downgrading

    Hi There!
    I have been facing few issues with my Note 4 after the recent Lollipop update..
    1. The ‘Hi Galaxy’ feature doesn’t seem to work at all.. infact it has disappeared. Even the ‘Ok Google’ is getting worse.
    2. I also have trouble with the SPen.. everything else is fine with the S Pen. Its just that I can’t use Air Command. When I detached the pen, the screen shows Air Command+ the options. But the moment I point the pen to activate any action; it freezes for a second and then device restarts by itself. After reading your previous comment replies.. I even tried the SAFE MODE.. but it did not help.
    Please suggest something.. Or, Is Factory Reset the Only way out?

      1. you need re-configure S Voice.Anyway. Google Now is better than S voice (arguable).
      2. You can try to clear the cache partition following this guide. If still not work, you have to backup the phone and do a factory reset.

      If factory reset doesn’t help, you may have to visit local Samsung service center to check the phone.

      Try it on safe mode. If you still have the problem in safe mode, you probably have to backup your phone and reset it.

      You may follow this guide to boot the phone into safe mode http://gadgetguideonline.com/galaxys6/samsung-galaxy-s6-guides/how-to-use-samsung-galaxy-s6-safe-mode/

    I have the same problem whenever i use the air command, my phone hangs and after a while it reboots. However it was perfectly useful for couple of months ago. I’ve tried to hard reset and restore factory but still the problem persist.

      You can test air command in safe mode.

    Bought this Note 4 for 3 months, everything with the S Pen is ok until recently when I couldn’t use Air Command. When I detached the pen out of the device, the screen shows Air Command (with 4 actions). But i can’t point the pen to activate any action. It is like the device is freezing for a while until the device is restarted itself. Any suggestion? Please help.

      There are many ways to delete s Notes you created.

      After starting S Note app, tap the navigation menu (top left), switch to “All” view. Select (tap and hold) any S Notes. Once one or more S Notes are selected, the delete icon (dustbin) should appear. Tap the icon to delete the selected s Notes.

      You can also use My Files app to delete the corresponding spd file.

      Hover the pen over the screen (not touch the screen). Can you see the cursor (small circle)on screen?

      If you can see the small circle, press the button once. You should press and release the button, not hold the button.

      If you get used to it, it is very easy. You may try it a few times.

    I see that Note 4 has no option to write a note having the S-View Flip COver closed, directly on the S-View window, as Note 3 can. I don’t understand how Note 4 has not this productivity item.. 🙁

    Thanks!

      Action memo is not available in S View window for Galaxy Note 4. Yes, it is available in the S-View window in Note 3.

      I don’t know the reason behind this decision. Apparently Samsung is still experimenting features for S view cover.

      the methods of taking screenshot in Galaxy Note 4 are discussed in this guide: https://allaboutgalaxynote.com/galaxy-note-4-how-to-guides/how-to-take-a-screenshot-on-galaxy-note-4/

      the method you mentioned is no longer working on Galaxy Note 4. If you use S Pen, you can use air command (screen write) to take screenshot as shown in the guide mentioned.
