Magnetic stylus on Touch Pro 2?

has anyone heard or seen whether the Touch Pro 2 will have a magnetic stylus. i know the diamond 2 doesnt but i hadnt seen anything about the touch pro 2

From the videos I have seen online, looks like it does. I am not 100% sure.

I saw a videoreview of the TP2 and it did not have a magnetic stylus, but It still did trigger the screen when you pull it out.
That's enough for me. A friend of mine has a Diamond 1 and he has lost 2 styluses. I would actually prefer my stylus to snap in place rather than having just a magnet hold it in place.

The TP2 definetly HAS a magnetic stylus and thats for sure. There was a quick hardware review on www.pda.pl and David confirmed that the stylus is magnetic

I have it in my hands right now and can tell you that the stylus is 100% not magnetic. But it does turn it on when you pull the stylus out.

you are so lucky to have this wonderful device. any thoughts, nags, concerns about the overall device

The unit I have has just locked - demo period expired - itself and I need to hardreset it - don't know how at the moment.
But I can say that it looks really great from the outside. Keyboard is fantastic. Even when I tilt the screen up I can still press numeric keys on the keyboard. I also love metalic rim on the top of the device, reminds me of iphone.
It feels much more solid than Touch PRO. Specially how the screen holds to the rest of device when you open and close it.
Even my girlfriend loves it and can't wait to get one .
I played with Xperia for some time this week and can tell you that this phone has much bettter feel - for me.
This phone even looks expensive and when I put it on the table besides Tuch PRO, HD or Diamond 2 (just did that ) it looks much better.
And, not to forget, the back is perfect - 100% no fingerprints. It's shiny and looks like cars body, metal silver/grayish metalic look.
Since I have most HTC phines at home I can say that this one is top of the line as for build quality (I don't know how would it perform over longer period of time), visual looks and feel.
Conclusion: this phone looks and feels great. I'm not easily satisfied and I know and own HTC phones since Qtek 2020 and can tell you that Touch PRO 2 is the best one I ever had in my hands. At the moment I would give it 9.5/10. Thats because it has no 3.5 mm headphone jack.
If only it would have a good camera so I could record good videos at 640x480... I did this with Diamond 2 and the video was not so good. Recorded a drive from home to work. Does not like fast moving too much .
I'll give the phone back today or monday at the latest and am sorry I could not run the software on it since it locked itself and I don't know how to hardeset it. All I manage to do is to send it in 3 color mode...

is the back cover made of entire plastic or are there any metallic parts?

It looks all plastic to me.

why would you want that anyway?

So it's plastic, nothing special, it just looks like it is made of mixed material. it still looks good though.
Can't wait till I can have a fiddle with it.

no it is not magnetic

... that sucks I thought a magnetic stylus would be pretty cool... but oh well

Doesn't really matter I think. I have lost a stylus already on the HD. So it's more secure using the clip on stylus.

with a clip on stylus, with time and use, the stylus usually loosens up, and becomes subject to falling out and being lost. so for me a magnetic stylus is a better deal.

I've had a Mio 168 (PDA/GPS), Mio A201 and a Mio P550. All these devices are with styluses that snap in place and I have never lost a stylus and that's everyday use on all 3 devices approx. 2years/device.

Agreed, I have had my P3600i for 2 years now and not lost a single stylus but lost my HD stylus within the first month. I have to be very careful with it now when I take it out of my pocket, so it doesn't drop off accidentally.

This is the case with my old MDA. I actually have to keep a golf tee in my pocket to use a stylus because I've lost all of mine. I use the stylus a lot, and wonder if whatever holds the thing in place with give way and loosen up.

I believe that everything is acceptable to wear and tear. That is natural. Is it fixable? If it is, then maybe get it fixed. I would rather replace one part of the phone every 2 3 years over replacing my stylus every other month. I guess we also have ourselves to blame for being uncareful. LOL.

[Q] $6.10 for a HTC capacitive stylus?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Xw-qvPr6sI
I just came across with it and the stylus does resemble the genuine HTC stylus that is sold at 20 UK pounds from the look of it...
OK I haven't really tried one but really tempted as paying a fraction of the original price.
Does anyone already have experience with this? I've had a few other low priced stylus but nothing's close to using a finger.

cool, i guess.
i just can't figure out one reason why i would use one?

When your finger isn't handy?
I use a mirror screen protector so finger print/trails make the screen not that visible sometimes. Stylus *should* be less problematic in this aspect.
Drawing and writing will need better accuracy also.

Coming from Windows Mobile, I miss my stylus for one. But I found it annoying when I am having lunch and surfing the web or texting- grease or ketchup would get on the screen. So in hope in avoiding this issue, i bought these stylus from ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-STYLUS-TOUC...054604?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item255de4a18c
After testing them (3 pack), I can say I am not too pleased. I have to press hard to make it scroll down- sometimes tap hard to open an app. I am assuming having Zagg Invisible protective screen on doesn't help either. So, I now use my pinky only for surfing the web while I eat.

Goods received finally (actually early this week)!
A very simple test and appears to be working fine.
I don't have Invisible Shield but a simple clear screen protector.
Will update you guys after testing for another day or two.

make your own!
Conductive foam (the kind that microchips and other radio shack stuff comes in - heck might get it for free) + Pen or pencil metal end cap. Then trim as needed. The double function way would take a cheapo pencil, remove the eraser, replace eraser with foam, and then cut down the pencil as needed. Plus, you could always sharen the pencil and have a pencil too!
Very small binder clips make a great quick holster. The metal wire end also fits perfectly under the nail grove of you back cover for easy access at the top back of your phone (also a nice portrait stand), could also just make a small lanyard attachment.

At lunch, I enjoy reading the paper. Sometimes the paper is sold out, then I use my phone to catch up on news, facebook or check emails.
I don't know if you have eaten out at lunch lately, but alot of people who are eating alone, are either reading a newspaper or on their cell. You gotta love technology.

Need a good stylus for the vibrant

Anyone know of a decent stylus for the vibrant? I just ordered a cheapo one from ebay and it's not that great. It has a rubber tip so I can't swype or drag well. I just want one so I can use the phone without taking off my gloves during cold weather. Thanks.

What about touchscreen gloves, instead?

Yes, it does.
I've been doing some more research on it. I can't really find the perfect stylus. I tried to use my crappy stylus today and it was a hassle to get it in and out of my pocket. I think I may abandon the whole stylus thing altogether and go with another method like sewing some conductive thread into my shooting gloves.

Whoever wanted a stylus for signatures, it looks like the Dagi stylus give the best accuracy. I would've went with that, but it is kind of expensive and hear it stops working randomly.

DayDeal.com has a HTC Branded stylus that looks exactly like the Dagi one. They also have several conductive foam tip ones as well. Just stay away from rubbery style tips. They are a little smaller and a little more precise for tapping, but they stick to the screen so Swype does not work well and neither would signatures.
BTW - Does the square hardware work with the T959 Vibrant?

Wow, that HTC one is just as expensive as the Dagi. I would've gotten one, but read some reviews about it not working after a while.

The best stylus I've used is, by far, the Griffin. I got mine from Amazon for just under $15. I bought it for sketching on my iPad but use it on my Vibrant as well.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041D0K1Q/ref=oss_product
The tip is soft rubber (as opposed to conductive foam like the Pogo) that slides across the screen nicely. The eBay kinds have rubber that skids and leaves marks - the tip on this one does not. I've used it on bare screens, crystal clear screen protectors, and matte anti-fingerprint screen protectors with no issues whatsoever.
Sensitivity and accuracy are better than the Pogo and it works at all angles, unlike those crap eBay kind.
From what I understand, Targus and Boxwave make versions that are pretty much identical. I think they all run about the same price, so I guess go with whatever brand you like best.

Targus - Stylus for Apple® iPad™
Works just as good and can pick up at local best buy. I sell these with cell phones all day long.

AAhhh...I should have checked locally first. I just ordered the Griffin through amazon. Hopefully I get it before winter is over. Thanks for all your help guys. I was pretty close to sewing that conductive thread on my gloves which I did not want to do.

well, if those other options don't work out for you, you might want to consider some meat:

thats funny. at least you have a snack nearby when you're hungry.
i just got the griffin stylus. its pretty nice. slick on the screen. doesnt grip at all. needs little to no pressure on the screen. only problem is finding the sweet spot for the 4 bottom buttons. it only works like half the time with more pressure.

[Q] Stylus? Worth it?

I've been looking into getting a stylus? What are your thoughts? Do all of them have round blunt ends? this is the one I was looking at...
http://www.wacom.com/en/Products/BambooStylus.aspx

Yes, they all have round blunt ends. Some are better than others but there's really nothing you can do about it with a capacitive screen.
You are never going to get anywhere near the accuracy you would get with an active digitizer. Also, you'll never have any sort of pressure sensitivity.
so personally, I don't think it's worth it but I'm probably not the best person to give you advice. I am user of windows tablets with active digitizers(wacom and n-trig) so I will never have any respect for capacitive styli. then again, they're pretty cheap and they do work to some extent so I guess you can't really lose.
I'll stick with my fujitsu t5010 for now and I'll probably get a fujitsu q550, motion computing cl900 or asus ep121 soon. If I really wanted to take notes with an android tablet, I'd get the htc flyer(it has an n-trig digitizer) but the note taking software for android is really quite pathetic compared to something like one note for windows.
don't get me wrong here. I'm a huge fan of android. I actually write android tablet apps for a living. there's a lot of things android tablets do well but note taking is not one of those things.

Just make sure you get one with rubber tip and not foam.

The HTC Flyer + stylus has pressure sensitivity. I have both these tablets and I like them both, but the Flyer is my favorite.

That's because the flyer has a n-trig active digitizer. The galaxy tab, however, certainly does not.

I use a Targus stylus from time to time on my XOOM and my Galaxy Tab 7.
The primary advantage for me is fingerprint reduction. Its nice to clean the screen and have it stay clean for a while. Try eating Pizza and poking your tablet's screen with your finger!
Accuracy is better with a stylus, however in terms of speed, fingers are generally faster.

You'll like it. It's very precise and matches the build quality of the targus one.

You can make a good stylus out of an aluminum pen or hollow aluminum tube (from a telescopic mirror or an antenna) and some conductive foam squeezed into the end. there are tutorials on youtube. You should be able to get the foam from a computer supply shop or you can order it for cheap on ebay

the Dagi Stylus P501 looks like the one to get

Small tip stylus for the I9300?

Hello,
I want to buy a stylus, but all I see is those big tip styluses, and I want some smaller tip stylus.
I know that some stylus won't work with the i9300, like the S-Pen of the note2.
So I've found some really small tip stylus pens but they are for the nintendo DS ..
How can I tell if they will work for the i9300, or they are using the technology the note2 uses so it won't work?
Thanks

Can I bump?:silly:

Check out the Samsung C-Pen. That's the smallest tipped stylus you're going to find that works on the S3.
The Nintendo DS has a resistive touchscreen, so its pen doesn't have ANY technology... It's just a piece of plastic.
Since our touchscreens are capacitive it isn't possible to get styli that small without an extra digitizer layer like the Note 2 has. C-Pen is as small as it gets for us.

Nah its just a smaller-than-normal rubber tip that only works well with Samsung's devices. I think it has to do with how their capacitive digitizers are set up... More dense than others perhaps? I've heard reports of people trying to use the c-pen on other non-galaxy s3/4 devices but they have to push down really hard to get it to work.

Alright I'll try to explain the differences in touchscreens:
1. Resistive touchscreens. These rely solely on pressure, thus anything can work on them... Even cheap plastic like on the Nintendo DS systems. The downfall of these types of screens are that they're not ideal to use with your fingers since light touches are usually not recognized, so a stylus is necessary.
2. Capacitive touchscreens. These rely on completing an electrical circuit between the digitizer and the object touching them. Turns out our fingers are perfect for this, but small plastic styli like the DS stylus cannot complete the circuit and are unusable on these touchscreens. Special capacitive styluses (these are the ones that will work on your i9300) use material that can complete the circuit, like rubber/soft plastic or foam. The downside to this screen technology is that you can't use precise styli. The jot stylus mentioned earlier is a innovative approach to fix this but it's rather restrictive on how you can place the stylus to the screen... Watch videos and you'll see what I mean.
3. Active pen digitizers were specifically made for digital artists to begin with to offer a high level of precision when using a stylus on a tablet. They were really only used on PCs and Macs. However recently Samsung did something brilliant and combined an active pen digitizer by wacom (the best in the business) and a capacitive touchscreen to get the best of both worlds. I'm referring to the Note devices and the S Pen.
In short, you want a capacitive stylus. The C-pen is a capacitive stylus that's smaller than all others but only functions on the galaxy s3 or s4. The Jot stylus is also a capacitive stylus that has high precision but the point is a circular transparent disc... So its kinda odd at first.

use a strip of foil and make it slightly touch the cue tip and wrap it around the pen
when using it make sure that you touchh the foil

Nice one although you always need to get the tip wet . .! maybe there is some other material that doesn't need to get wet and can be used as tip? but thanks
