How to Enable Palm Rejection in OneNote on a Lenovo Tablet
Question details
The user wants to configure palm rejection while using a stylus in OneNote on a Lenovo Android tablet.
- Product
- Microsoft OneNote
- Device & OS
- Android
- Scenario
- Writing or drawing with a stylus in the OneNote application on an Android tablet.
- Observed behavior
- OneNote for Android currently lacks a native palm rejection setting, causing accidental touches to be registered while resting the hand on the screen.
Check your Lenovo tablet's native system settings for stylus or touch input options, as some Android devices offer system-level touch rejection when an active pen is detected.
Submit a Feature Request via OneNote Feedback
Since palm rejection is currently unsupported in the Android version of OneNote, submitting direct feedback is the best way to request this feature from the product team.
Microsoft frequently updates OneNote based on user feedback. By reporting this limitation, you help prioritize the addition of palm rejection for Android tablets like the Lenovo Tab M11.
Launch the Microsoft OneNote application on your Lenovo tablet.
Tap on your profile picture or avatar located in the top-left corner of the application screen.
Select 'Send Feedback' from the menu. Describe how the lack of palm rejection affects your workflow and request that the feature be added to Android tablets.
Use an Artist Glove as a Physical Workaround
Using a physical drawing glove can prevent the tablet screen from registering accidental palm touches.
Try WPS Office for Enhanced Stylus and Note-Taking Support
If missing features in your current note-taking app disrupt your workflow, consider switching to WPS Office. It provides robust PDF annotation, digital inking, and seamless compatibility with Microsoft formats for your Android tablet.
- 1. Download WPS Office: Install WPS Office from the Google Play Store on your Lenovo tablet.
- 2. Open a Document: Launch the application and open a new PDF or text document.
- 3. Start Annotating: Tap the Tools menu, select the Pen or Annotation feature, and begin writing smoothly with your stylus.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Lenovo Tab M11 have built-in palm rejection?
The Lenovo Tab M11 relies on a combination of hardware detection and software to reject palm touches. While some drawing apps fully support this, standard applications like OneNote for Android may still register accidental touches if they lack native software optimization.
Is palm rejection available in OneNote for iPad or Windows?
Yes, palm rejection is fully supported and optimized in OneNote for Windows and iPadOS. The missing palm rejection setting is currently a specific limitation of the OneNote application for Android devices.
Can I use third-party apps to force palm rejection on Android?
Some third-party utility apps claim to block touch input in specific areas, but they are often unreliable and can interfere with normal device operation. It is generally better to use a physical drawing glove or switch to an app with native stylus optimization.
