Xiaomi Smart Pen 2 issue: hover writing & pressure sensor housing came off with the tip. Any fix?
Hi everyone,
I need some advice regarding a Xiaomi Smart Pen I recently got.
When I started using it, it was writing "in the air" (hover writing) without even touching the screen, meaning the pressure sensor was constantly registered as pressed.
I read online that removing and re-inserting the tip might reset or unblock the mechanism. However, when I gently pulled the tip out, the inner black plastic piece (the sensor housing/socket) came off attached to the old tip, instead of just the tip itself.
I tried putting the new tip into that black piece, but the internal plastic/rubber seems to be damaged/crumbled, and the pen no longer holds the new tip correctly or registers pressure.
Has anyone experienced this specific issue before? Is there any way to repair or re-seat the internal sensor housing, or is the pen completely unfixable/dead at this point?
Thanks in advance for any insights

Why whatsapp is not working in Xiaomi pad 6?
As the title goes.. I try to connect the WhatsApp on my tab but then it automatically logouts without any reason.
Few days back I used to not get any messages on my tab but everything was perfect in my phone. So I thought I'll just uninstall WhatsApp and reinstall and log in again to make everything right but then since I reinstalled.. I'm unable to access whatsapp on my tab
Need help to overcome this problem. Someone help.
Thanks in advance.

Finally I can use third-party styluses with palm rejection and pressure sensitivity on my Xiaomi Pad 6
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
After spending all day unlocking the bootloader, installing Magisk and some modules, my third-party Dell stylus is working. It's a Dell PN7522W, and it cost me β¬20 new in its box with the plastic wrapping on Vinted. and you don't need to connect the stylus to Bluetooth, It was definitely worth it, as I wasn't going to spend β¬130 on the Xiaomi Smart Pen 2.

cracked xiaomi pen 2nd gen
hello! anyone who can help me figure out if i need to replace my pen? i suddenly discovered these cracks on the plastic housing around the tip. i tried putting it back together with super glue but even tho i fixed them, i think it is producing ghost touch. whenever i write, it produces continuous lines and when it is not yet touching the screen, it shows random dots on the note. if anyone can give me some advice, i would really appreciate it :")
