Hi all
I am thinking about getting a stylus for the Arc (Just got the 1cent drawing app from the market on day 7, it was amazing and I now want to do some drawing on the phone). I am just wondering how is stylus working on the Arc screen? Is it sensitive and precise enough for a stylus?
Yes it is, but you must buy stylus for capacitive touch screen.
Stylus from old TFT touch screen wont work on it.

Ok so I was not aware that the s3 here in Canada had the floating touch feature , see a lot of times when I type
I don't even have to touch my screen to get the letters to type or when I go to push an app I can hover over the screen and it will go
It's almost like I can feel a force from the screen in my finger some times almost feels tingaly. Example like pushing on an invisible electro wall ...
Can some one explain more of what's going on and how I can make it more sensitive ?
More sensitive? Do you mean less? Don't know why you'd want it more sensitive. It does that because they screen uses electro magnetic pulses from your body, therefore, if you have a strong enough magnetic pulse the screen may react without you actually touching it.

It's a capacitative screen... check capacitative vs. resistive screens... the new generation capacitative screens are a lot better than they used to be... my S3 only responds when I touch the screen though... albeit slightly... if yours is doing this all the time you might want to consider a replacement.

I don't think s3 has the floating touch feature. Mine only responds when my finger comes into contact with the screen. I believe the floating screens is responsive even to you not touching it at all.

With the Note 1, if you run a tool to test your touchscreen like Multitouch Visualizer 2, you'll notice that you can't quite get to the edge of the visible screen with your finger (the stylus has no trouble). This makes playing games like Fieldrunners hard because the buttons are along the edge.
Can someone with a Note 2 do me a favor and test this out to see if it's fixed?
Thanks.
Anyone?
From daily use I notice that touching the edges with my fingers is awkward though not impossible. Using the pen is better.

Thanks for the reply. If you could also try a touchscreen test app please let me know =)
Mine unfortunately has the opposite. Screen's responsive at all parts of the screen with my finger, but there's a certain area near the right-center edge where I have to apply just a tad bit of more pressure for the screen to recognize my stylus. Anybody else has this?

No this wasn't fixed i tried on my N7100 in snote app i can reach edge with spen but i can't reach edge with fingers.
Hello,
I got Samsung Galaxy Note II since a week now and I noticed that the s-pen does not register the weakest (lightest) touch, like when I'm gliding with the pen over the screen (the pen's tip is touching the screen but barely). I'm used to very light touch, so when I'm drawing a line sometimes it does not register at all or there is some part of it missing.
Is this normal? Maybe I just need to learn to press it a bit harder. I found a lot theads about s-pen being too sensitive, maybe I need to calibrate it but the other way? Also I found some threads with the same question but no answer.
Regards,
Dragon
You can adjust the sensitivity by popping off the button on the side of the pen and turning the screw below it. Keep in mind that the way the s pen detects a touch is when the nib on the end is pushed in, so depending on how light you use it, increasing the sensitivity too much might cause false positives (registering touches when to pen isn't touching the screen)

Thank you for the reply D3_. That explains a lot. I guess I'm just pressing it too lightly. I will just have to get used to pressing it a bit harder.
You can still try adjusting the sensitivity, you might be able to find a sweet spot that works just right for you.

You got your s pen very low sensitivity but but mine is too sensitive. Even 1 to 1.5cm to the screen it still writing something that I don't need. I cant draw anything. I have been waiting for new s pen from Samsung to replace old one for a month. Hooe to have a very good s oen thus time.

The sensitivity on mine just changed randomly?
Causing a real problem with swipe.
I have to swipe real s l o w l y....
Any ideas why this might have happened?

Read my post above (second post in this thread) on how to change your s-pen sensitivity. You probably don't need a new one.

How can you pop the button out?
And will it impact warranty?
S-pen too sensitive

Just got my note 2 today (YAY). The s-pen registers when I am barely touching the screen...how do I pop the button w/o breaking anything? Will this possibly change, or stay the same, on DN3?

I have:
1) Tmobile S4 (M919) White
2) Galaxy Tab™ Conductive Stylus ($19.99 now)
3) OEM wireless charger back cover
4) MIME ghost glass version 2
5) Spigen Neo Case
Using finger, the screen and soft button work all the time.
Using Stylus on the screen works all the time.
But there is a problem on "soft button" with "stylus"
1) sometime the stylus works with "soft button", but sometime won't.
2) sometime it works for 15mins or less then stop working on "soft button"
3. in order to have it working again, i have to turn the screen off then on. (but not 100% will bring it back to works)
I also tried with an aftermarket capacitive stylus that it used to works with my ipad 1, the same thing happened.
Do anyone have any idea about this? any physic behind this? thannk you.
The soft buttons aren't meant to be used with a stylus. Unless you have the galaxy note 8, then you are out of luck. The stylus is functional on the screen but not the capacitive buttons..

But how come it does work sometime? 99% of time it will get back to work after the screen off and on?
Works fine for me every time. And I have a 99 cent stylus

have you installed a glass type screen protector on your S4?

Ah, no i haven't. That might be your issue. The stuff on the tip of the stylus might not be strong enough to reach the capacitive buttons as the screen uses a different sensitivity level.

yeah, that's what i thought too. but it does work for few minutes after the screen on, so it's hard to conclude that the issue is solely caused by the screen protector. Maybe the sensitivity level on the "soft botton" is decreasing over time, has more sensitive right after it turned on.

Go into your display settings and check the box next to High touch sensitivity.. see if that helps the sensitivity issue

I tried it, but it makes no difference, maybe it's for the screen only?
But if i am lucky, i can bring it back to works for once if i keep tapping it with 2x more force. what i mean is, it will works on one tap after i tapped it for more then 10 times.
maybe the heat accumulated between the "soft button" and the screen protector is causing the reduction in sensitivity.
anyone has any idea?
Hi everyone!
My Optimus G fell off the table, and apparently it hit the floor with the right top edge of the phone, so that's where the screen is slightly cracked. The worst part is that the touch screen is now only working from the middle to the bottom of the screen. No touch screen upwards.
I know that there must be something broken inside but what's up with the touch screen? Does any one knows how it works?
If I had to replace the screen, can I do it myself with the proper tools? Is it expensive?
You broke your digitalizer man the entire screens gotta be replaced just take it somwhere
