Hi !
Does anyone knows if the galaxy tab stylus (the same as here : http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/28/galaxy-tab-bluetooth-stylus-emerges-up-for-49-99-pre-order/) may work on the archos 70 IT ? And if there's an application to take hand-written notes ?
Thanks !
Any stylus made for capacitive screens should work.
I haven't tried any note taking apps so I can't recommend one to you sorry.
I would never buy anything that expensive when I could achieve the same results with something much cheaper. Found a 3 pack for $2.90 versus $80... Did I miss something?
The point is that most of the capacitive stylus I know have a very round and very large end... not very usable to write. This one is sharper, and seems easier to use as a real pen than the other ones...
Any capacitive stylus will work, including the DIY ones using conductive foam.
The problem is that the screen isn't really responsive enough for note taking. I don't know if it's a problem with the digitizer itself, or the software implementation, but in either case it's too slow.
If you write very slowly, it might work (see upper part of image).
If you write at a normal pace or even quickly, it definitely won't work (see lower part of image).

Ok thanks for your answers... I guess I'd just keep typing on the keyboard ^^

excuse me JasonOT,
I downloaded same app to write but the 4 option button of the Archos Interface on my tablet cover the ap option. Have you got a tip for me to see settings or option of the ap ?
Thanks
I use Graffiti by Access, it's in the Market. Works good for me, being an old Palm user, and I have not had delay/lag problems.
Just a note, the difference between the stylus referenced and the ones being talked about are that the referenced stylus is bluetooth and uses a bluetooth connection (and likely software) to work on the Galaxy Tab. The cheap ones are simply capacitive pens and work with the digitizer of the device. I'm guessing the bluetooth stylus would allow you to write on any surface and it would show up on the Galaxy Tab screen. Like those "smart pens" or whatever they are called for note taking and what-not.

I doubt they would have anything for the Galaxy Phones since the Jack and USB connection in that case is normally on the TOP of the phone (like the Captivate)
You'd have better luck modding and building your own. Considering the phone doesn't do upside down portrait at all oddly. I doubt it would be nearly anything like the iPod style docks since Apple did have the brilliance (the few times I do give them a compliment) of putting their major connector on the bottom of their mobile and portable products.
Although should such a product exist, I would be interested in seeing such thing maybe even purchasing one.

Mine does upside-down portrait just fine. (Though I think I'm quoting the wrong post, since I don't see the upside-down statement in your post.) (Nevermind, I see it now. Good, I am quoting the right person.) You have to go in display settings and enable 180-degree rotation or something like that. Some roms don't have that option, though so YMMV.
Samsung has done some good horizontal desk docks for it (once you register your captivate with samsung, it shows you a crapload of nice accessories) so it probably wouldn't be too hard to make one.
Easiest design would be to buy one of the horizontal desk docks, a small 3.5mm speaker set from Radio Shack, and drill a small hole in the dock to plug them in, then attach the speakers to the dock.
Could be done for under $50 if you use the Samsung official dock, way less if you use one from ebay or amazon.
Get the kind that is just an empty drawer and a headphone cord. Phone's right side up and you've got speakers.
Something like this:

Hi! It's my first post here!
I was wandering if it's possible to build a custom "lapdock" station.
Basically what do i need is:
- screen hdmi capable
- keyboard
- battery
- touchpad
- eventually speakers
Since a lapdock has only this stuff inside.
Here is a scheme i tought about:

The only thing i dunno is how to make the usb hub to give power to the atrix and to the other devices! I mean it's ok for the electricity, but i dunno if it's correct for data transfert.
About the software, i think that debian could handle all this (speakers via usb, keyboard etc etc.. )
Any suggestion?
sorry for my bad english lol
Are you thinking a stationary dock? Or a mobile dock? From your schematics I am assuming a stationary dock. Either way it would be a great hackaday project.
Actually i was thinking to a mobile one
The schematics works the same, the only thing I assume would change is the dimension of the single parts!
it wont be cheaper than 200 dollars
Sure, but you can add custom parts as a more capable battery, better screen, plug-off BT keyboard etc..
I have been thinking of doing the same type of thing, but my set-up would be stationary. One thing I did think of for myself would be to have a keyboard with integrated touchpad. In the OP's case, it would be one less piece to deal with and make it much more portable.

the more portable you want to make it, the more expensive it will be. and besides, this phone isnt known to run particularly fast on webtop..
lets say you spend 400 dollars... you can pretty much buy a low end laptop that will run way better. the cost to benefit ratio just doesnt seem worth it. not only that, but in the future when new devices come out you might have to scrap this contraption. we don't even know if future devices will have this functionality yet.
Hey people,
I just stumble on a bluetooth slider keyboard for the Iphone and I would be interested to know if this thing exist for our Note? The biggest advantage of the sliding keyboard is that you can also tilt the screen upwards and the keyboard just slides in the case.

Seems really nice nope? I wouldn't mind the size/price as the physical keys are what I missed the most for typing/gaming - what do you think?
Nice idea, but I enjoy my touch screen keyboards regardless.
Nice idea
Nice,, but we have big screen, a keyboard is not necessary
Actually i was thinking about this too, as i really loved the physical qwerty keyboard on my B7510, but agreed that a physical keyboard is not necessary due to the big screen. However i searched ebay before, i stumbled onto this. Might not be the exact type as shown but quite similar.

Don't buy it.
The keyboard feels shi t, so much so that the Swype/etc keyboard works easier.
They should've known not to use flexible key-buttons. Otherwise, a great product.
PS They could've also implemented a microUSB connection, so that the battery life lasts longer
I wonder if you can get another mini keyboard to use in that since one one is so bad
I had one for my iPhone 4, and it had that chinese cheap feel to it. It worked but ... also the OS wasn't designed for it so it had many inconsistencies.
I would LOVE a physical keyboard because it's a lot easier to walk and type with. Sometimes the predictive text on Ultra Keyboard gets it wrong.
What keyboard are you guys using? My only prerequisite is that it be able to have multiple languages as I am here in Spain and I need to type in both English and Spanish.

I am looking for a sliding gaming pad or, at the very least, keyboard that I can map gaming keys to for use with an emulator.
My devil of a son threw my new phone on the floor and cracked the screen pretty bad requiring me to change it. Left a big hole in my wallet too. After changing the screen, I found that my s pen is acting a bit weird. In air view mode, the dot is off by around 2 mm.
I also noticed that the pen sensitivity has also reduced.
Is there any fix for this problem?
I have tried using reset s pen app from the market, but it doesn't seem to help either.

First; turn on auto rotate if it's already on turn it off and on. Then go to display setting and recalibrate horizontal and gyro, finally go to your home screen and scribble the spen around the screen with it held at all angles and draw into the corners. If this doesn't fix it then maybe it's a hardware issue.
If the sensitivity is not right there are two options I know of; open open up the cover/button and adjust the dial underneath, or do as I did and slam the spen quite firmly onto a hard flat surface. (I actually layered mine between two coasters to protect the funny shaped end and hit the side with it at about a third the strength I imagine youd need to break it - it worked wonders for mine. )

Thanks for all your suggestions. I Did what you suggested. Claibrating the gyroscope dis nothing much. Slammed the spen but doesn't help.
Opened the spen and tried adjusting the screws inside... Didn't see much difference.
Guess that leaves me with the only option of heading to the service center and talk to those experts out there.

I dont want to create one more thread, so i will write about my problems here. I have similar problem as OP has.
My wacom sensor behaves strangely in the corners and the edge of the screen.
Here is a picture that demonstrates the problem clearly. All the lines should be straight, but they are not.

Can it be fixed?
I have read a fair amount about pens for the ultra etc. but cannot seem to filter down to find out if a pen (active or capacative) would work with my s21 (base model), not plus/ultra.
An old report from here states only ultra works with the new s pen, but i'm opening the conversation up to all pens/stylus's
How does the S-Pen support on the Galaxy S21 series work?
The Samsung Galaxy S21 series has just launched, but does it support the S-Pen? It's... complicated. We have all of the details here!
www.xda-developers.com
Has anyone experience of this? I am assuming the basic foam end capacative one would work, but would an active pen work? I tried my old HP active stylus, but to no avail, that said it was invented with the ark...
THoughts please and suggestions of pens (if they work) greatly appreciated please, ideally UK orientated shops.
Thank you
Since I left the Samsung Note 4, I've been trying to find a stylus to use to the other phones I bought. The passive are not worth it. I bought a few active, the best being one called Gosin active stylus. I cannot seem to find it anymore, but it looks a lot like this. Mine uses an AA battery (not sure for this one, looks like it does too), it's heavy and thick, but works flawlessly.
I also bought the Blitzwolf Active stylus. At first it worked terribly, but since I removed the plastic tip and started writing with the metal nib, everything was fixed. Don't care if the metal nib could damage the screen (which it doesn't) since I have a tempered glass.
The blitzwolf works very well, the Gosin almost perfectly.
Arh, so an active capacitive pen will work, but i guess it'll effectively be replicating a finger press. So no smart features like pressure, thickness etc.
Thank you for the feedback, i'll take a look at them.

Correct, no pressure and other fancy staff!..
Update: Today I received the last one I had ordered, this no name. It cost about €12 and it came in a surprisingly nice package for the price.

Works as good as the other, more expensive mentioned above. The magnetic cap protects the USB port, the on/off switch works firmly and in general is as good as it can get. No reason to try anything else.
Now that the S Pen Pro is out (as seen at https://www.samsung.com/uk/smartphones/galaxy-z-fold3-5g/accessories/ ) has anyone bought it? It seems pricy, and I've no idea how you'd best keep it in your pocket...

I don't think it would work on S21, only on the 21 ultra, and I am not sure about the S21+.

Im pretty sure that the s21 (standard and +) does not have the layer between the screen to work with the S Pen. Only the ultra has it.
