[Q]Galaxy S 2 Stylus

what is the best stylus that is available for accurate writing and sketching?
-Is the Samsung Note stylus works with the galaxy S2?
Thank you.

The Note's pen will not work as it is not as stylus, it's a digitizer pen that uses a special system in the screen.
To be honest, and I have more experience with capacitive styli than probably 99.9% of people on here, the S2 is too small to really give you good accuracy with any stylus that is designed for normal capacitive screens. A stylus is even pretty useless for notes and sketching on my 7-inch Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, and even on my iPad I rely heavily on apps that get around the inherent inaccuracy of capacitive styli with apps that have great zoom or magnification options. Navigating menus etc as an extension of your finger is one thing, but sketching and note taking is something completely different.
If you do decide to get one, stay far far away from those generic brands you find on eBay etc, and far away even from styli from Belkin, Griffin etc that you normally find in electronics stores. The more expensive styli ($20-30 range US) are in a whole other class when it comes to both accuracy and durability. I would suggest a stylus that doesn't look huge next to the S2, which eliminates some of the bigger ones out there that are big to emulate permanent markers. Both the Architect Stylus and Wacom Stylus are great and small. I have both, and they're a bit more sanely sized next to the S2 than e.g. the Cosmonaut, AluPen, Maglus etc. You might however want to look at the Jot stylus first. For accuracy on a small screen, it's probably your best bet, though the disc type tip is not to everyone's taste

Thank you very much you I think i will go with the JOT PRO.

you guys really want to see this.
i know the screen of galaxy is too small when comparing to tab,but that guy is really amazing [video is a part of avdt of stylus]

Yep, it is of course possible to do on such a small screen, but you end up zooming and panning a lot. The Galaxy Note is a whole other beast with that pen it comes with, will be interesting to see what pops up on YouTube in terms of drawings made on it

question about the stylus used in the above video

That's a Just Mobile AluPen. Won't work with drawing tablets, completely different technology

Had DAGi Stylus P101 model lying around and tried it since it's winter... have to say it works just fine swiping, scrolling and everything else on my SGS2.

Why don't you try it and see if it works... just go to nearby store and have a blast And where would you get a Note stylus anyways...

Not that they would work, but they are sold separately. Replacements for Notes, obviously

I ordered a cheap $1 Stylus off ebay some time ago, still waiting for it to arrive. While it may not be as accurate as the higher class ones, I don't really need it that bad to begin with (I've come to accept that taking notes on my SGS2 isn't a viable option).

Help me choose a pen

Hey there,
so I've been using some standard noname pen for some drawing apps along with my S3... but truth is I really hate it.
Its one of those with a pretty thick writing piece, it gives a feeling of not exactly knowing what you draw or what you are tapping onto.
So I was looking for another pen, a pen with a pretty slim tip, giving a more controled experience.
First thing i noticed is that there really aren't alot of those. The ones I've been looking at are made by samsung for their galaxy note and galaxy tab devices.
So here is the question: Are those pens basically compatible with the S3? Who can really give me assurance it will be working?
This is one of the pens I'm talking about: Samsung ETC-S1J9SE
This is the S3 pen with really really bad reviews (I really don't want to buy that one): Samsung ETC-S10CSEG (C pen)
Can someone provide info or suggest another pen?
Thanks in advance!
swent
PS: All I want is basic touch functionality, I know some of these pens have extra buttons or rubber features, I don't care for these extra functions.

besides the S pen, another popular one is adonit jot
you can find the s pen cheaper on ebay. was gonna get one for 15.

The note actually has a different interface for the stylus I belive it is similar to a wacom tab, if I recall correctly it uses wacom tech. I don't believe the stylus for the note will work properly with the s3

S Pen Holder Kit Tip

Is it possible to change the tip on the stylus that comes with the S Pen Holder Kit? I'd like to use one of the black rubber ones that came with the Note 10.1. I tried pulling it out but it doesn't seem come out.

Sure you can check out video.

Thanks for the reply but that video is for replacing the tips for the stylus that came with the Note 10.1. My post is regarding the stylus that comes with the s pen holder kit, which is a smaller stylus. Anyone know if it's possible to change that tip?

I've got the same S Pen Holder, it's not for the Note 10.1, it's an add-on for the Galaxy Note N7000 5.3". Don't try to take it apart or else you'll break it, it's a combination of plastics assembled with a special glue.

Unfortunately you cannot change the tips on the holder as they are not interchangeable due to being part of the stylus. The ones that can be changed come with spare tips, even the note 2 does not seem to have interchangeable tips.
I have not based my response on any research other than trying to remove the tips on the older pens.

Hello, i just got my sg note 10.1 and in the manual they show you how to change the tips. So in my opinion they should be able to change the tips. The only thing i dont know is why there are black tips and white tips.

[Q] S-Pen with eraser?

is there an S-Pen with eraser that would fit the S-Pen slot in the Note 10.1 2014?

I don't believe there is one that will fit , But there are plenty that will not fit but are very nice.

I don't think there are any other S-Pens that will fit that slot. Samsung seems to redesign the S-Pen every tablet iteration.
As for S-Pen's with an eraser, this is the one I have and it works well.

Unfortunately there are a lot of replacement S-Pens that have an issue with there being an offset. You can read about a bunch of them in this thread, including the offset issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484014

Hi, thanks for the link.
When you say offset? does it mean its not as accurate as the original S-Pen?
My friend has a Tegra Note, and the Pen comes with an eraser. Wish we can do the same.

Stylus / S-Pen confusion

I'm looking for a full sized stylus without any offset issue and have been following the other thread with interest but no-one yet seems to have found something which ticks all the boxes. I'm also a little confused about a couple of things and would appreciate some help. My Q's are:
Is the S-Pen powered and therefore charged by the tablet? I've got both the original and 2014 Note 10.1's and the stylus from the original works on the 2014 no problem and without offset. The thing is the battery is completely flat on the original as it's not been used for some time yet the stylus still works and I'm pretty sure it can't have any charge left in it so how is it then working?
The driver behind this is that I was looking to get a stylus holder for the 2014 stylus but can't find one so thought I'd get an original stylus/holder to use with the 2014 but the issue being I wouldn't be able to keep it charged as the original note is about to be sold.
I've read that the Surface Pro stylus works on the 2014 without much, if any offset. Looking around I found this stylus...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/2XNo1access...qid=1394362536&sr=1-1&keywords=surface+stylus ...and wondered is anyone had any experience of using one or know whether it would work with the 2014.
Any help guys, very much appreciated.
Edit: I've now found an old wide metal pen which both the original and 2014 styluss fits into, funny thing is when either stylus is placed inside the old pen they don't work on the 2014 screen but when they're taken out they both work fine. Weird, is this because the holder has a metal body?

The stylus for the note series phones and tables do have or need batteries. There are two videos on YouTube that can explain it to you.

Wacom makes the Bamboo Feel that works well with the note tablets. https://store.wacom.com/us/en/product/CS300UK2?

If a pen you're using has no offset issue on another Samsung Note device but does on your N10.1-14 then something's wrong with your N10.1-14. If the pen included with your N10.1-14 has an offset issue it should have it on all Samsung Note devices. I got a S Pen wet once and it developed an offset issue and I had to replace it so they can be damaged or defective. As for a full-size stylus my favorite is the HM-5100 which is also a BT headset. It's pricey though. It's the one on the bottom.

My current S-Pens don't have any offset, I'm looking for an additional full size stylus that doesn't have any offset issues but it appears most do. Your picture won't enlarge for some reason. Is the third one down one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-E...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item485ec2b59b ...if it is I'd be interested in knowing if you've noticed any offset issues with it? It uses the original 10.1 stylus right? It's also less than half the cost of the Bluetooth stylus, which is just too expensive.

It's not a holder - it's a stand-alone stylus. I use it for voice commands and quick phone calls as its a true BT headset. It's great as a stylus because it's weighty and feels good against the glass panel. The button's also well placed so it's easier and more natural to use.

What he said.
The feel of the HM5100 is superb compared to the standard Spen. If it's charged then it doubles as a BT mic/speaker. If it's not charged then it's still the best feeling stylus that I've come across
