Issues with the stylus on my Max Lumi 1

Vermilion Scans · 01-27-2026, 07:08 AM

The stylus on my Max Lumi 1 has developed an issue where it works inconsistently. For example, when underlining it will sometimes work, sometimes not. I might have to try a few times to get it to work. I'm wondering what might be causing this. Is it wear and tear on the stylus, or an issue with the screen? Would replacing the stylus solve the issue?

It's hard to say.
Have you tried it with a normal drawing program?
Or you can go into Developer Settings and enable "Pointer Location".
Then you can squiggle in any window (including ones that don't actually do drawing).
