- Some Android phones may require enabling OTG in their settings.
- Limited working area on Android phone:
- On some Android devices, only a portion (e.g., the left half) of the tablet's active area may be mapped to the phone screen. This is a common behavior for graphics tablets with Android.
- Check if your drawing application on Android has specific settings for tablet input or working area mapping.
- Pen pressure not working:
- Ensure the GAOMON driver is installed and updated on your computer.
- Check the pen pressure settings within the GAOMON driver.
- Verify that the drawing software you are using supports pen pressure and that it is enabled in the software's settings.
- Tablet surface wear/scratches:
- Minor wear is normal over time. For protection, consider applying a protective film to the active area.
- Ensure pen nibs are not excessively worn, as sharp edges can scratch the surface.
- Compatibility with specific software (e.g., Krita, Adobe Illustrator/Photoshop):
- The tablet is generally compatible with most major drawing software. Ensure the latest drivers are installed.
- For specific issues, check the software's preferences for tablet input settings.
