We’re still waiting for an official statement from them, as to why this has happened and whether they will give Galaxy Note 5 users a fix for this.

“Samsung Ultimate Test Drive” offers iPhones users to try the latest Samsung phones, including Galaxy S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, or Note 5 and related services, for 30 days.
This particular type of mistake wasn’t possible with previous Galaxy Note designs because the phone’s design prevented you from inserting the pen backward. Samsung has now issued a response, and well, the answer is that you should read and adhere to the manual.
Sticking to the flaw in the system, on the Galaxy Note 5, usually, removing the S-Pen when the screen is on will launch the radial S-Pen menu. Dubbed the “Ultimate Test Drive“, iPhone owners eager to taste the dark side can trial a Galaxy S6 Edge, Galaxy S6 Edge+ or Galaxy Note 5 for 30 days.
The issue stems from the fact that the pen’s shape doesn’t prevent it from being inserted backwards in any way-it will slide in easily in either orientation. Either it’s stuck for good, or you may break the mechanism which detects whether or not the S Pen is attached to the phone when you do remove it.
While it may seem kind of obvious to some folks that you shouldn’t stick the S Pen stylus in the wrong way, that’s probably not something that everyone realizes.
The same problem was demonstrated in a video released by Android Police. The Note 5’s S Pen is different than the one in the Note 4 in that it has a little spring-loaded ejection mechanism. When you do so, it gets stuck.
With the iPhone 4, the joke was “You’re holding it wrong”.

After the loss of the court case in 2012, according to CNET, Samsung was expected to pay out nearly $1.05 billion dollars in damages to the California based company.
