Conductive Stylus?

Can one by such conductive stylus and simulate Note usage? I know it's not the same but just thinking if I could write notes with it for example?
Regards,
BTJ

My dad has one for his desire so don't see why not

You won't get anywhere near the accuracy of the Note's EMR pen. But sure, you could do it.

Right! That is a serious issue! Screen contamination can be permanent and void you warranty. #sarcasm

It is possible to make a stylus with high accuracy. Just need the right materials.

I have not tried these but they supposedly work ok. I'm sure the accuracy is nothing like the one in the Galaxy Note though.

I have a few capacitive styluses that I use on my Asus Transformer. I bought them from ebay for a few pounds each and they work very well especially in graphic design apps such as Sketchbook Express.
Worthy addition to any capacitive screen.

Are they like the ones I posted? There are many different designs so some are probably crap while others are pretty good. Would you happen to have a photo of the one you think is best?

Ten One Design make some pretty good capacitive styli. I used their Pogo Sketch with my phone for a while and it was excellent - but drawing on a 3.7" phone just isn't any good so I gave it to my mother (who has an iPad 2.)
As for Deal Extreme, I tried one of these: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/aluminum-alloy-touchpad-stylus-pen-for-apple-ipad-ipad-2-black-57797, and it worked. It was pretty crappy though.

U can check out the adonit jot & jot pro (Check my sig)... in my opinion it's the best out there. Also theres the Writepad Stylus app for handwritten notes, also the best of the best!!!

Universal Car Dock?

Anyone use a good Universal Car Dock that will work with the GNex?

Amazon seems to have a decent selection. I just ordered an Exomount. The have a demo video on their site and it looks pretty good.

I ordered a Empire universal mount. Don't buy it. It's advertised with GNex compatibility, the side arms push down the volume keys, even worse, It broke what I was trying to extend the arm. It was only $8, I guess I got what I paid for.

The mount is surprisingly small. The base has some type of sticky element that allows it to attach to multiple surfaces. I'll find out tonight how well it holds up on a car ride.

Hello Jerk82,
How do you like the car mount?
Thanks

I'm wondering if I would be able to mod this with my official GSM Car Dock. My case on the phone (a small/slim TPU case. It's really popular here, I just can't remember the name) has cutouts for the pogo pins, but my phone obviously won't fit into the car dock with the case on.
Something like this would be perfect if I could "enable" the pogo pins.

[Q] Anybody tried a stylus pen on the E4GT?

I saw these stylus pens on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Capacitive-Cellphone-Motorola-BlackBerry-AMM0101US/dp/B0053NBLFW/ref=pd_cp_cps_1....looks like it works with different smartphones. It could become handy for doodling etc..
Anyone ever tried one before? Or could recommend a decent one? TIA

I bought a 6pack of capacitive stylus, they work on my et4g, evo, and kindle fire, and they work better than my finger. I use em for taking notes on my phones and drawing on the fire, or phone if I'm really bored while waiting for an appointment at work.

Thanks for the info guys! Definitely gonna go buy one then...or a pack. I've been playing Draw something (addictive) game, and it's difficult to use your finger to draw anything.. Lol. Plus I think it's a good accessorie to have..

I only got the 6 pack cuz we got 5 androids in the house and a Samsung series 7 windows tablet so each device got it's own stylus and I have 2 with my kindle fire cuz one of the Androids is a note so its got its own super pimp s pen that thing is cool as hell, u cab draw/write with one side and erase with the other and it learns multiple styles so if more than one person uses it it will adjust to each persons style based off of small things like angle its held against the screen and pressure used to contact the screen, but that's wacom for you they have some seriously sophisticated touch pen technology, If the note/journal or something similar comes to sprint it may just be my first Lte device

Great stylus

I bought this stylus yesterday from best buy and its great. No more fingerprints and now I have much better accuracy. I know its $20 for a stylus, but it sure is worth it!

This stylus was on sale there for $9.99 before. Can be had on the net for $9.99 for those interested.
And to confirm the OP it is a basic and nice stylus.

Ya, Amazon sells those same ones in bundles of 10 to 20 for about a buck apiece. I opted for a bunch because lots of kids with touch screens and apparently the tips don't last forever -- at a buck apiece, disposable makes more sense.
I also remember trying to buy a $5 HDMI cable at best buy, and they had nothing for less than $40.... this is why they are going out of business... 2000% markup? no thanks.

Best Buy is over priced, but I am part of reward zone and every month or something I get a $40 certificate to use in store, so that's the only reason I bought it there

I've tried several cheaper styluses, including the pogo sketch and some cheap no-name ones from TJ Maxx. They all had some annoying issues with build quality or registering taps. I ended up splurging on a bamboo stylus and I'm much happier with it. Although it seems like the digitizer on the KF has issues with slow diagonal gestures resulting in wavy lines when using sketchbook pro.

I just received these about two weeks ago. I think it is awesome. First, no more smudging, second, now I can actually write like I normally do with the app that lets you record your handwriting. Third, it's a package of 5 for less than a buck. Who can be mad with this. And lastly, the tip is not super rubbery, so it slides smoothly.

S Pen work with S3?

Does the Note's S Pen work with the Galaxy S3?

Nope, s-pen is an active digitizer. There isn't the same tech/hardware in the g3 as there is in the note
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

Go on eBay and search Galaxy S3 stylist, and you can get one that works for the S3. The price range is $. 99 to $29.99. They have some almost identical to the Notes S pen, for one just like that you are looking at around $29.99

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

There is nothing for the S3 that will be comparable to the S-pen on the note. The C-pen is decent, but it's not going to be as precise, or responsive as the S-pen.

Is the c pen more accurate than one of those ball tipped sylus pens? I have one of those and it writes very broad lines
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The c pen is definitely more accurate than the ball stylus pens due to the slim tip so you can actually see where you are writing. The only problem with the c pen is that it will occasionally not register as touching the screen.
I bought one because I take a lot of notes using S memo and I had an extra $20 bucks laying around lol. So if you can spare the cash I would reccomend it over the ball stylus pens but just know that it will only work for the s 3
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

Either that or i'd just get an Adonit Jot stylus....

I just use one of the ones that have a rubber ball at the end.

C-pen didn't work out for me, because it's design a little bit fat. I guess, that's the only way to have stylus is to buy Galaxy Note Series . And also they have wacom grid, which can sense pressure.

good info

C pen is so expensive. How little are you really gonna be clicking? S3 doesn't have the special touch screen built in like the note so the pen gets bigger or smaller from how hard you press anyway. Any cheap stylus will work great. I got a laser, flashlight, chrome pen, and stylus in one for like 6 bucks at Monoprice. Works better than I dreamed.

lol oh man almost a year later, but here it is http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=112&cp_id=11201&cs_id=1120105&p_id=9719&seq=1&format=2
At least now I can give a mini review. It works great as a pen and I use it whenever I have to sign something. Stylus tip still works fine and always has no problem with responsiveness. Only thing that sucks is the flashlight and laser died fast. It's all chrome and black so it still looks nice, but I have no idea how to put a new battery in. I even called and asked them, but how they said to do it was still impossible.
