You can use Wacom styli with GN2

Just a heads up, I've tested three Wacom Styli with my Sprint Galaxy Note 2 and each one works perfect. In fact the digitizer in the galaxy note has built in functionality for the eraser and 2 button stylus that Wacom uses on the Intuos2 tablets. You can find these on websites usually cheaper then the Samsung ones. All my tests have shown the other styli to be very accurate
Note that I've only tested a Wacom Intuos 2 and Lenovo Thinkpad X series with built in Wacom stylus, I don't have any 3rd party models to test.
Love the use of common technologies. :good::good:

News or not, it was useful information, not regarding a rom, nor asking a question. Hence the strategic placement of this thread in the general section. Nutsac.
THIS NOTE 2 IS SENT FROM A GALAXY WHERE SAMSUNG SPRINTS TO THE TOP, AND JELLY BEANS EAT APPLES!!!!

I have a Wacom on my desk... never would have thought to try it. Thanks for the heads up.

Strange, my Bamboo stylus doesn't work on MY N7105 Note II.

Cool - do any of the Wacom units have a button?

Wacom is a company that makes drawing devices for various artistic professionals.

You do realize Samsung makes the processor in the iPhone right? So does that mean I can run android apps natively?
Just because they are the OEM doesn't mean they engineer it to be cross compatible.

Any pens with the "Wacom feel IT technology" should mostly work on this.

The S-Pen on mine Note 2 doesnt seem to "click" in place. It seemed a bit loose to me at first, but I tried my hubbies N2, and it was the same looseness/feeling.
It isn't 'loose' by any means and it wouldnt fall out by itself. Just slides in and out easily.

Yeh thats what I think too not really loose just smooth without the click feeling my old note had.

I actually have a question about its tip. The end tip looks like a little loose in mine so when it touches the screen the tip gets into the pen. I am not sure it is defective. Please check yours to see if the tip is firm and not moving in and out. Thanks.

Yup, my T-Mobile note 2 has the same stylus tip, kinda loose. everyone says that's how is designed.

The tip going in and out is how the pen can detect the level of pen pressure you place onto the screen. It's the same design as a wacom drawing tablet (which is where Samsung went and got their digitizer technology from).

Is this pen's fit will become loose if you use it too much? I am kinda afraid to use alot.

I believe it turns off the wacom pen layer when the S-pen is in the holder. This should save some battery

just to back this up - that's exactly what it does; its best to leave pen detection on if that's your only stylus, however if you happen to be using a full size wacom stylus, it'll only work when the pen is detached... got me confused the time i tried to use my lenovo and slate pens and they wouldnt work... because the feature was on...

Pen input pressure

Does your guys pen require more pressure to operate compared to the note 2? On my note 2 I barely had to touch the screen, but the note 3's pen requires much harder pressure before it starts working. I even tested the note 2's pen on the N3's screen and it worked just fine. So it's gotta be the pen. Does anyone else have this experience or is my pen defective?

Mine has this problem too. It was normal when I first got it, but now it requires more pressure to work. I think its normal, so I'm not going to bother exchanging it.

There's an option in settings to increase the sensitivity, see if that helps.

Try replacing the tip. The bag that comes with the device has two types of replacements. Clear and rubberized. Change be tip to a clear one. Worked for me!
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe on the Note 2 you could adjust the sensitivity on the pen itself somehow. I never needed to adjust anything so I'm not sure. I assume the note 3 would be the same way.
Edit: Yeah here's the thread on how to do it.

Please fix the link. I'd like to read it too. When I'm writing with the pen its fine, but if I'm doing something casually like playing Bloon TD 5, I find myself wanting a bit more sensitivity.

I think I've seen that somewhere else as well. It works, it's just that the plastic cover is so fragile, I almost cracked it in half trying to open it, so I didn't want to try it again.

I heard the accuracy is slightly off for the 2014 ed.
I have the spen with eraser and I can confirm that it's slightly off centered.
I filled the tip down to have it more precision.

When you filled it down, did the accuracy improve? Is it the same as the standard built in spen?

Filling the tip down will do absolutely nothing. Don't believe me? Get yoru spen out, press it into your finger and then slide that same finger over the screen (finger nail touching the screen). The pen will still write. It's the depression and location of the pen, not the "tip"

There is another thread here where several users found that filing down the other end of the nib (not the bit that touches the screen) brought the pen closer to the screen. When the S Pen is vertical this makes no difference and all the alternative pens seem to work fine. However, when the pen is held at an angle, the slightly different length means the digitiser registers the location of the tip offset from where it really is.
It's true that it doesn't matter where the actual tip touches the screen but it does matter where the electronics in the pen are in relation to the tip.

In the U.S. the only choice appears to directly order from Wacom, not sure if they have shipping to the great white north.

No other thoughts. I got an S-Pen with Eraser off of Amazon for about $15. It works fine, is a much better size in the hand than the included S-pen. It is similar to a bic pen in both size and quality.

According to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484014 thread, none of the 3rd party styli really works properly. Only the genuine Note 10.1 2014 Edition seems to work without an offset.
You may not care about a 1mm difference between where the tip of the stylus is and the point where the touch registers, but it would drive me mad.
