[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.

I bought the black one at Staples for $14.99.

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

Monoprice has those too for very cheap

be careful when using those when you write on an angle though, you can scratch your screen if you press too hard with the metal part

Choices...

I have a upgrade and Im wondering which phone to get. I like the s3 a lot. Especially the new touchwiz. But I don't like that it could be glitchy and a cheap build. Plus I have had my note for about 6 monthes and I have had some screen problems like the weird ruff spots on it. And I don't want to have the same problems again with the s3. Also is the overheating fixed? I don't want to root this phone (atleast for now) I just want a nice clean reliable and custom experience. Also is the retina display noticeably better? If you have had any problems with your s3 please tell me. Any opinions will be helpful. I'm pretty open minded right now.

U got 3 choices.. gs3, ip5, one x..
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

Exactly. I don't know much about the iphone5 and one x can you list some pros and cons? That would be greatly appreciated.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

Best one is the gs3 cause the one x is older and dosnt have expandable storage or a super amoled or as great dev support and dont get me started with the i****onmyself 5

Save it for the Note 2.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium

The note is great its just a tad to big. The 4.8 inch screen of s3 is great size for me. But I have heard it has a number of problems like overheating and its fragile compared to other devices or so I've read. A HUGE pet peeve I have is when the plastic battery door creaks and squeaks. Is that apparent on the g3? And if it does, how well do those metal doors on eBay work?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

One more thing. Will the g3 run smooth and reliable without modifing it? I want to use it right out of the box with the least amount of problems as possible

Never had a problem with my backdoor or overheating and yes its perfectly stable with stock

Are all the us carrier versions the same spec wise?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

Depends.
If by "overheat" you mean getting uncomfortably hot, that only happens when you play intensive games like NOVA3 for extended periods of time.
Backdoor creak has never happened to me, but my buttons on the side creek occasionally.
As for your options, honestly the One X doesn't look shabby, but remember that there is less development in that sector, and that the SGS3 has plenty of devs.
As for the iPhone 5, I can tell you from my experience-- that if you enjoy Android, stay away from iOS unless you want to dumb yourself down to a trained monkey. That's my biggest problem with iOS, it's made for extremely simple people. Jailbreaking can't fix the nature of that OS, and that made me dump my iPhone.
In my opinion, I think you should get the SGS3. Build quality won't reach the iPhone 5's, but other then that you won't have any regrets. Besides, you can always exchange.
Goodluck bud!
PS: All US Carrier models are the same, besides the radio. Same Dual Core A-15's @ 1.5GHz.

The main problem I have with the s3 is build quality,reliability,accessories. The iPhone 5 IA built so nicely it makes me feel like it's actually worth 200-300 dollars. The s3 just doesn't give me that quality feel.

Is there noticeable lag on the att g3?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

Mine is lag free

IPhone 5 is also over hyped. You're paying for materials and branding, not quality of product.

Me being me I wouldn't buy any phone but an iPhone 5 right now. Value is too high. Buy that and trade for SGS3 plus cash!

Does everyone's screen look and feel the same as the day they bought it? Like nothing has rubbed of with heavy use? Cause I had that happen to my note

I've had my S3 since early July, naked screened, and when i wipe the slight smudges off of it from my fingers, it shines like the day i bought it.
As for the battery door.... yea, i'm pretty sure the only people you'd hear about it being squeaky or cheap from are the iPhone 5 Republic. To them, anything plastic is sh*t anymore. I'd hate to have seen how they chose a phone 6+ years ago, when very few phones even used a THIN metal shell, and smartphones were limited to Windows Mobile and Blackberries basically. I never hear a noise from it, and it's far from cheap feeling. It's actually Polycarbonate plastic.
I've had it running a custom ROM since i'd say just under a month into having it.... but i still tend to stick to the tweaked stock roms more than CM10 stuff, simply because i like the TouchWiz camera. Runs fantastic.

Now Im reading about loose power buttons and even one guys supposedly fell off. OS and screen size of the s3 combined with the build quality,reliability, and retina display of the iPhone 5 would be a fantastic phone.

Went from the OG Note to the 2

Today I gave my son the OG Notr and bought the Note 2. Fast is the first thing that crossed my mind onbstock no less.
I received the multipane update and works fine. It almost feels like a smaller phone than the OG. I guess because its a tad more narrow. My smaller hands like that. Battery life noticeably better and I dont have power saving enabled but am on auto brightness. Speaker a little more clear and crisp. Voice calls are not as muffled. Screen looks good. Camera improved with HDR and extra features. I have a feeling a lot to read about new spen but will do that.
I bought this at BB for 249.00.

Sold my og note for 360.. got the note at BB too for 249.. Was nice lol basically I got it for free
I too like the more narrow feel. Makes it easyer to use one handed :thumbup:
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

I'm glad you like the upgrade! :good:

Sometimes when I look between it does seem like the Note 2's screen is smaller, it's narrow and longer. But it does play tricks on me lol. Wish they didn't make the icon grid size smaller though.

What is BB?

i bought mine off contract directly through at&t... cost me a pretty penny but worth it. though i sold my og note & one x for a nice chunk of chage, so it didn't cost me that much out of pocket. which is always good. not even gonna bother thinking about upgrading till note 3 rolls around. :good:

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.

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!!!

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.
