Help Samsung stylus issues (possibly)

Nikit07

Hey all!
Yesterday I got a Samsung Galaxy Note Tablet 10.1 (Hooray!) but I've noticed a strange sound when using the stylus. It sounds like like the tip of the pen is being pushed into itself a bit and then falling out again creating an audible annoying second tap or a bit like a click after I tap the device with it. In the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjaJwuowxY0 you can actually hear the second tap. It does sound like I am hitting the screen quite hard but it's just the way the mic picked it up, I was actually quite gentle. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A PROBLEM OR IF IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE THAT. I also have a problem where the screen recognizes the stylus when hovering over it but doesn't register a click, it can be annoying but I have read that this can be fixed by tightening a screw under the buttons.
Please help!
Thanks!

I also have a click after which i dont see as a problem. As for as i know its the same pen technology as wacom's which also make this noise.
 
When the tablet was new, did you notice it then? Or was it like that after you replaced the nib for the first time?

I have this as well. The nib is loose sideways and up and down. You can wiggle it with your finger, correct? Just slightly tap the nib on any flat service and you will hear that noise you're referring to.

It was never like that until I pulled-out the factory-installed nib to replace it with the white one. Now, it's loose no matter what nib I use. It seems as if I disrupted something in the SPen when I pulled the original nib out for the first time. I contacted Samsung about this thinking they would just send out a new stylus no prob. But they wanted me to send my stylus in for repair! I said forget it; I'm not gonna go without for 2 weeks.
