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.

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...

For fine detail drawing it's no good. Good for stick figure like drawing only I'm afraid.

+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..

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.

oh ok, you mean the pen or the GN2?
The c-pen.
I have the note 2. It's awesome for drawing and writing (especially Chinese characters).

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
bought this stylus to use on my sgs3 and gtab, but to my suprise it doesnt work on my tab.
anyone know why? its a capacitive stylus
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk 2
For whatever reason it only works on the S3 and somewhat on the Note as I've seen in some videos. Get a better stylus, it sucks anyways.
I was planning on buying too... you cannot expect it to be like galaxy note quality. And I got myself a elago stylus.

I bought a three pack for like a $1.50 on Amazon for my Dad's ipad and it works great on the S3.
Currently not being productive on my S3.
Its something to do with the higher than usual refresh rate of the S3 screen. I wish it worked on my Xoom.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Is the refresh rate adjustable? I liked it because of it's small tip

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.
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...

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.
Yes I understand this is kinda a sacrilegious post, but has anybody been able to sell their phone? If so, what price and how long did it take you to get it sold?

I have not personally sold mine, however I have seen people getting up to $500 for it if it's in mint condition
However you can definitely get $400 for it easily, and at $350 it will move in 24 hours or less I'd bet.
Check craigs list and ebay to see what others are selling for.

Seems like everybody want to sell their s3 and get note 2. On ny craiglist there are too many offer to sell or trade.
So I am not even keeping that option.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I'm also in NY and for me to move this quickly in mint condition it would take me selling for $350 or less with all my accessories Nd that's not happening. I'll keep my gs3 as powerful as the note 2 is it doesn't justify the money I have to spend getting it over the s3. Sadly neither does the n4.
I wonder what the next step for android will be. The sgs3 was a nice "jump" and the note 2 is a little move forward but I'm looking for a leap before I move anything.

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.

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.

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:
