Help need stylus

Anyone know where u can find a stylus with a pointed end almost like a fine tip pen? I dont like the round tip pens but that's all I can find...

It is because of the surface area needed for the touches to be recognized on the device. Think of it as a fake finger tip.
I don't think a pointed one would work well -- or at all -- but let me know if you find one.

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

That same pen is cheaper on eBay though.

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

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

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.

Stylus pen for GS3

Hey gang, this may be a dumb question but I was wondering if I buy a stylus pen would it work for the GS3? the thing is that I wanted to get the GN2 but not enough money. I draw a lot and saw the capabilities of having this feature on the GN2 so I was wondering if I get a pen would it work for the GS3.

Have you googled it? I'm sure if it is capable it will be searchable.

Yes it will work.

Any stylus pen will work. You can buy them for about a couple of bucks from amazon.
Better yet Samsung make special pen just for galaxy s3 called "C pen". It has smaller tip like S-pen for G-note. It's $30 but if you register with Samsung, they will send you 50% off coupon.. But you can get from amazon too for $15.. Here is the search result link. Also Samsung link...

+1. Its not ideal unless the app you are using support fine line pen width like in sketch app.. But I still use stylus to keep my screen clean because I work with oil..
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

Thanks everybody. I even tried to take my GS3 back after a month to trade with the GN2 but no can do. I will try out the C-Pen and hopefully that'll work.
Its just that I draw a lot and especially in my anatomy class. I use those pictures to study while I'm at work. I wish I got the GN2. I got the GS3 because it was on sale, dang it. But I still love my GS3. Best phone for me coming off the Thunderbolt.

You should read some of the reviews on YouTube and Amazon before you plunk money into it. The general consensus is that it isn't very good especially for the price paid.

E-Cigarette Works as a Stylus

Hey guys, random thing I just discovered while holding too many gadgets at once and trying to smoke simultaneously. As you know, random objects (pencil, pen, popsicles.....) do not work on phone\tablet screens since capacitive screens use dielectric conductivity between the screen and skin. However, the electric cigarettes you see everyone using nowadays, do in fact work quite well. The bottom part of them, where the battery casing is, for clarification. Anyhow, never seen this mentioned anywhere and figured this is the spot for it.
Tested with an eGo SOV model, but I imagine the concept is universally applicable.

Yup eGo twist works

Blu only works if you don't use the tip. (Plastic) any of the metal surfaces can act like a stylus though unwieldy and useless imo.

Lmao too funny

The Billet Box works, not so sure how practical that is though lol.

Wouldn't this be a good way to scratch your screen

Do you use your stylus?

How much do you use, and for what do you use the stylus for?
I like having it, it's cool to show off. When I'm not at home I have my phone pin locked so unlocking the phone, pulling the stylus out and then activating whatever I want to use it for is to many steps.
I've tried! I've taken musician numbers, I tried to make a scrap book of stuff I wanted to go shopping for. As a whole, most of those neat things Samsung through it I have no use for. Multi-Window seems one step to much, s-pen window as well.
I thought the stylus would be great for playing retro dos games. Or even games like Shadowrun Returns, the stylus is a "mouse" and Shadowrun Returns does not support other input devices. I installed Fallout and the stylus as mouse didn't work the way I had hoped it would. Where you tap the screen and that's where you click.
To answer my question, I don't use it.
You?

Yep, I use it all the time. I use it in multi Window, s note, action memo. I use it for work taking notes, I use it for the shortcuts it gives instead of the cut and paste things. Instead I just tap drag and drop. It's so useful. Hell, I really don't even use pen and paper much anymore unless it's for signing stuff and at work I get stuff I have to sign of for sent down from a different floor, I sign it and send it back to them. No more having people run around to get things approved.

Not too often, but the stylus comes in really handy when taking screenshots and sharing them with friends.

Not at all, I prefer my fingers. LOL!

No my kid lost mine and it bugs the **** out of me that I can't figure out how to turn off the s-pen on top of the screen but besides that I wouldn't mind using my s-pen. Thanks In advance!!!

You could always buy a replacement. They sell them on Amazon and at best buy iirc.

I got this phone to help teach myself to draw, two months later I can do a pretty good drawing of any cute lady on a bar napkin! Why would someone have this phone but not use the pen? You're paying a premium for that unique feature...

The premium was the size of the screen to me, not the pen. that was like extra. I use it occasionally, but mostly for making notations on screen captures. My hand writing is pretty bad and the pen does not help that.

But at release there were bigger/same size screens for less money...

The screen size made me get this phone too.

I purchased the Note 3 for the large high quality screen, the Snapdragon 800 processor, 3gb of RAM, SDcard and removable battery. I viewed the Spen as a bonus which, as it turns out, I almost never use for anything other than occasionally marking up photos.
I disagree that it's pointless to buy the N3 and not use the pen. At the time of purchase (Dec 2013), I wasn't aware of any other device that combined all of those specs into one package. At least, not that supported LTE on major carriers here in the US. The Z Ultra came close but was about the same price, and I really wanted that 3gb of RAM. Plus, after reading reviews, I was concerned that the Z ultra wasn't actually pocketable with normal clothing.

It comes in handy
I like to use it when I'm creating quick contact information or when I need to take a screenshot and edit (circle, whatever) the picture before sending it.

I use the pen more often than I thought I would. It has some really nifty features, such as pen hover gives some extra detail in some places, and action memo is fantastic. I thought I'd never use the pen when I first bought the device, but I really do like it.
