USI 2.0 stylus not working on Pixel tablet anymore

tech_courious

I have been using a Pixel tablet with GrapheneOS and a USI 2.0 stylus to take handwritten notes. It all worked fine until I think about two months ago when the stylus didn't connect to my tablet anymore. I now tried it with another stylus (Lenovo Yoga Pen) which worked on my tablet before and still works well on other devices. This pen won't connect to my tablet either, so the stylus itself doesn't seem to be the issue.
Has anyone else experienced problems with USI 2.0 devices on the tablet lately? Any advice on how to fix this?

I have a Penoval stylus that is USI 2.0 and it still works. I just checked it after reading this. All the same functionality it had before. I'm running build# 2025110801.

Just updated my Tablet to bulid# 2025112101 and my Stylus stopped working.

@tech_courious I was able to get it working again.
I turned on Connected_devices>Connection_preferences>Ultra-Wideband_(UWB) to True and rebooted.
I can not tell if it was the reboot (I did it before and it didn't work), at the moment. When I am done with my work today i'll test if the UWB setting is neccesary.

ok it was just the reeboot, UWB is not neccesary, but I needed two reboots (FIY)

Unfortunately updating to bulid# 2025112101 or activating UWB didn't change anything for me. Do you have any ideas on how to troubleshoot this? I'm not sure what to look for.

tech_courious Do you have a way to try and use another stylus? Mine seems to be working fine so maybe a fault with your stylus?

tech_courious

I used a Huion USI 2.0 stylus before which stopped working and my first thought was also that it's due to a stylus fault. That's why I ordered a new Lenovo pen only to find out it won't connect as well (works just fine on a Yoga book).

tech_courious mines just a cheap generic one from ebay and seems to work without any prob. Maybe if your convinced it not the stylus it could be a hardware issue.
