Hey, I'm looking to take some notes on my tab and was looking for some suggestions. I've found a couple cool programs but need a pen.
My noted are almost all math related so equations and such.
Any advice would be very helpful.

When it comes to capacitive stylus, I believe price is a good signal of quality. I have tried both high end (e.g., boxwave) and low end (generic, bundled with other accessories), and the difference is very noticeable. Good luck taking math notes.... I am an economist and my note-taking involves math too. You are going to have a hard time getting good results. I tried doing this, but had to go back to my clunky convertible tablet to get the results I needed. Unless you get a slate with a digitizer (like the Flyer or the Thinkpad), you are pretty much out of luck.
Your not out of luck... just need this!!
As u guys know capacitive stylus have a very wide point so that it can be recognized by the device, therefore affecting precision. Thankfully some people already came up with a solution. U have to options.
1) DIY fine ponit stylus with materials u can find in ur house... for FREE:

I found a blog where someone made a more precise intructions .... but I don't
remember the site!
2) Someone took the idea to kickstarter and now they are commercializing there
version of a fine point stylus.... only that it cost around 20-30 bucks:

I just pre ordered one of these bad boys!!!
Hmm, looks intriguing. I'm not holding my breath until this type of technology is proven and reviewed thoroughly. Thanks for sharing.
Edit; Here's the blog with the detailed instructions:

Will take a look. Still in the market for a tablet. I like tthe 10.1 but would be better if I could take notes.
I find the flyer too small for me and the one that att has is like $800 so I'd rather use paper than that lol.

The more I look at htc's pen the more I like it, I might have to just suck it up and get a 7inch tablet.

Doesn't the Lenovo Thinkpad tablet also come with a digitizer and pen?
I'll try the DIY out and let you know how it goes, looks easy enough and I have everything needed. I paid one looks great as well, but I'll wait fir the reviews to roll in. Thank you for showing this to us.
How about this one?

The Dagi came first than the one i showed u guys... but I've read some reviews and they say that it's hard to get used to because w this one u have to write w a certain angle for it to work at its best.
That sucks.
I made my own last night. I'm not good at that kinda stuff so although it worked, it was a little off.
I need one so that I can take small notes on an image of a form, but it just didn't like writing small. I'm wondering if that's the case for most of them.

You can probably do that using Sketchbook Pro. Just import the image, zoom in on where you need to write, merge the layers when done and save.
I too am looking for something to take notes on. I bought a Flyer and it was pretty inaccurate. This is one of those things where if it isn't done right it will be horrible experience. My best suggestion would be to wait for the Samsung Series 7 Slate. I know its pretty expensive but look at like this it can replace your laptop.
The 12.1 Asus eePad slate (Windows-based) gets good reviews on the note-taking area.
first of all: out there are a varaity of stylus for your tabs and phones. the regular capacitive pens you'll find for a buck or two on ebay are the same as the ones cellphone companies sell for like $20, does are just like using your finger and are only good for people with big/fat fingers since they cant type on keyboard well and other stuff like that without hitting the wrong key. but some genius chinese guy invented this wish you can make at home by yourself without any money:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHhB2BF5yQM&NR=1&feature=endscreen
but also two companies took this idea and patented it, and here are the results
Dagi:
P501 and P502 (old method with just stylus)
P601 (old method with ink pen in one end and stylus in the other)
P504, P505, P506 and P507 (new idea, very acurate, just like a pen or pencil)
(the P504 comes in 9 different colors)
P602 (new idea, very acurate, just like a pen or pencil- and also an ink pen in the other end)
Adonit:
Jot and Jot Pro (The best out there)
I have a Dagi P504 and an Adonit Jot Pro. I use the on my Tab on Sketchbook Pro and other Drawing and Note-Taking apps. They both are very good but the dagi does not have a cap so the point can bend in a backpack or something and the adonit jot pro is very sleek in desing and has a cap. Its up to each ones likes. I paid $18 for the P504 and $30 for the Jot Pro. I bought them on ebay. You can find all of the styles on ebay.
You can find all of the styles on ebay.You will find The Dagi from $15-$30 depending on styles and the Adonit from $25-$45
The idea from the guy on the vid works great too
NOTE: I have the Galaxy Tab 10.1 Galaxy 10.1 owners: You must have root on your device and use TouchScreenTune (free app that fixes your touch screen sensitivity). Otherwise the writing will lag. Link below:

Motorola Stylus pen with Precision Tip
On Motorola site, it says that a Stylus pen with precision tip is becoming available soon. By its picture, it seems that it is indeed precise. On the compatibility tab, it says it is compatible with XYBoard only. Is XYBoard touchscreen different from Xoom? In my opinion, if it is compatible with Xoom, it is compatible with the SGT 10.1, isn't it?
Here's the link for the pen: http://goo.gl/1y6Pb

I doubt it. It's probably housing the 10.1 Note's S Pen inside, though.
Looks to big. Better to be in top pocket anyway if its bt to the phone
oh wow, this looks awesome!
i wouldn't even have to bring my phone to school anymore. i'll just leave my tablet in my backpack and have the bt pen clipped onto my shirt or something. when i feel it vibrate, i can just answer my call through the pen . i might look kinda weird to others when they see me, but i don't care!

Can somebody tell.
I don't think many people actually own this at the moment:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838111
, but from the looks of it, it's safe to say that it won't fit into the 10.1 Note's pen slot:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/15/samsung-bt-hm5100-s-pen-hands-on/
The "nib" looks more like 10.1's tip rather than the one on the 5.3 Note, but it may or may not actually house the 10.1's pen inside. Not sure this last part matters, anyway...

I just ordered this item. I'm excited to see how it works with the tablet.
I'm confused. This is a pen that:
> Does the samething as the S Pen already included
> It has a mic, speaker and answer-call button
> It connects with your phone via BT
> You can answer a call that got to your phone, while you're using the tablet???
So what is the justification. It's not like your phone is never handy and the tablet always is... Imagine this scenario:
Your are at work at your desk minding your own business doing whatever you do with your tablet. A call comes in, more than likely your phone is in your pocket or on top of your desk, so you can see a call is coming. So, instead of picking up your phone, you press the lil button on the pen because the pen is already in your hand and you're too lazy to reach for your phone. So, imagine that in the middle of the conversation you are given details you need to jot down, you can't put down the BT S Pen to write a memo on your Note 10.1 because that's where the call is coming from, so you either grab your old S Pen or common pen and paper.

So what did I miss? You can't even use this pen while the old S Pen is in the Note's silo. I've tried to use my other Wacom pen while the S Pen is in the hole and there is no way it gets registered.
So, somebody please enlighten me what benefits will I get if I shell out another 200 bucks on this pen.

Turn off battery saving in pen settings? Try 3rd party pen again. Profit.

I have Google voice. I thought it would be more convenient to answer the call over talk atone, not my phone, when say I'm in the other room. Or don't want to run to the other room to get the phone. My google voice always rings before my phone, too. Doesn't fit but my case has the s pen holder.
That being said, I think Samsung was trying to be innovative (or expand on an idea originally posed by Asus). Nifty feature. Some will see it as useful, others a toy.
I'm sure I could say the same as what's the point of a Bluetooth headset? But I think **** Tracey would like this!
Better for 007.
just got my pen and took it out of the box. instructions are in chinese so they are of no help. Doesn't seem to work. I figured it should work out of the box like the s pen, but it doesn't. I have it charging now, but why would that make a difference?
Can anyone that has one lend me a hand?
update...
so you have to take the original C Pen out of the tablet for it to register...
So tell me how S-Pen really works? If i have understood right inside the S-Pen there is no battery? Yet still there is at least two switch at the pen (tip of the pen and side button) and also phone knows where you are hovering your pen even if you are not touching the screen. So how this all works?
This is interesting it would be cool to know that..
I heard that its using magnet.Not sure lol.

It must be some form of magnetic field. The phone can even tell when you leave your pen and walk away.....
So nobody really knows how s-pen do it´s magic? C´mon XDA engineers try a little more to find us an answer!

You need to first turn the option on in S Pen settings. It might not be turned on by default.
Then take your s-pen out, use it on the screen for a bit, leave it somewhere as you put your phone in your pocket and walk away. I had to walk like maybe 15 steps before it alerted me.

This part is very low tech.
When you have the pen in the device, it pushes a switch inside the phone.
If you pull the pen out (i.e. the switch is opened), and you wander off (it detects this using the same gyrometers you use to play 'tilt' games), then it sets off the alert.
You have to enable the s-pen alert, and the screen has to be off when you wander away.
It's designed that way so it's not constantly going off when you are actually using the s-pen.
the pen itself is a wacom pen. wacom tablets have been around for ages.
It receives power kind of the same way some electric toothbrushes charge - through magnetic resonance.

This. Samsung seems to be uing the Wacom principle. Ill hve to take my pen in and test it.
I still am not able to replicate it. S-pen settings look alright.
Hi, I've had my galaxy note 2 for about a month now and I absolutely love it. I love the fact where I can pull out the S-Pen and take a note. The problem I'm facing is that on the left side of the screen towords the bottom it seems to be off when I write. Wherever I write in that section it seems to write it to the right of where my pen is touching the screen. Take a look at the attached picture.
Now I've google searched if there is a method to calibrate the S Pen. But the only thing I seem to find is a method that works with the original Galaxy Note 1. And I have also come across an app called TouchscreenTune that helps you calibrate the S-Pen. But as far as I know this app calibrates the S Pen for the entire screen. For example if I calibrate the S Pen with this application and make it so it writes to the left instead of how it's off by going to the right it will do that for the entire screen. I'm only having this issue at that 1 section of the screen. Can anybody help me out please?

Same issue
I don't have any solutions, but I can confirm that I'm having the same issue. It happens in a few places, but all of them are towards the edge fo the screen. I noticed it trying to make a line with a straight edge in sketchbook mobile, which this makes it impossible to do. Similarly, I've searched and can't find any suggestions on calibration. I'll take it to a sprint store in a few days.
I will be interested in hearing what they say. Im having the same problem.

Thanks for the comment. Just to make sure, when you write a bunch in that bottom left area, there's no interuptions in the inking or it's hard to write because the cursor doesn't stay centered?
I'm trying to figure out if this is something all of them have that's just too minor for most people to notice or there's just a few bad apples. I'll be at verizon tomorrow testing out some other note 2s and see if I see a pattern. If not, I'll just return.

Glad yours works. That code doesn't work for me. I'm on a verizon phone which means they probably jacked that up too along with everything else.
Interesting development today.
Exchanged my phone to verizon. Was really excited the new one was working so well. Went home and it started to do it again. Got real up set and then light bulb popped up. There's a magnet on the back of my seidio kickstand case. Took the case off and now it works fine. Which means the other one probably worked fine as well. Annoyed that I spent $50 on this stupid case.

Yeah, you should never use any kind of case with magnets with a phone with a Wacom digitizer.
It's really a shame, otherwise I would've bought the KLD Ultra Slim PU Leather Flip Cover Case already.
Hi, sorry for the late response. But i went to Best Buy and tried another S-Pen and with the S-Pen it does the same thing. It weird, When i right the actual ink is not under where my pen is, its more to the right of it. Even if i hover the S-Pen over the screen the little circle thing is also off to the right abit. I tried to use that TouchScreen Tune app, but when i apply the changes in it, it says Failed< Unsupported ROM or FW. I use the S-Pen alot, and it sucks because of this inconvenience.
Oh and i can confirm that the App posted in that Link "Reset S-Pen" Does NOT work to fix this issue. I wish it was just the S-Pen that was defective. I have no problem going to Best Buy and buying a new one for $40.
My s pen accuracy improved when I did what another forum suggested. Go into pen settings, and switch it to left handed, and then back to right handed. That resets the calibration.

Hi, I tried multiple times to do that but each time it results the same. It makes no difference. Maybe I just got a bad Wacom digitizer.

Hi, i am using the original Samsung Flip Cover Case. It has no magnets. And i dont think this should be happening. I would expect this kind of defects from a cheap $100-$300 phone. Not from the best smartphone in the world that retails for over $700!
Has anyone noticed the inaccuracy of the spen on the tab s4?
Whenever I'm writing on the tab, I cannot write constantly, it goes off the axis randomly. Tried contacting Samsung, it was pointless, they said to calibrate by going to each corner of the tablet.
Yet, I feel like its the issue with the spen itself, I tried Staedtler's Noris Digital pen for Samsung, it works flawlessly but the downside was the missing button for the pen.
What happened after you calibrated the S Pen with the tablet?
I've been using the Tab S4 now for 4 days with the S Pen and no issues. Note taking is accurate on pages and pages of notes with both Samsung Notes and S Note. I have the Staedtler's Noris pen too but haven't tried that as yet as that is packed up with my Tab S3.
If you can't get the S Pen to calibrate with the Tab S4 you may want to return or exchange your Tab S4 as it could be something defective with the tablet or the pen. I guess before I would do that is to replace the nib with one of the replacements in the box and see if that fixes the pen's issue. Or re-seat the existing nib.

The calibration method was just simply dragging the spen to every corner correct? Or is there another way that I am supposed to do.

That is my understanding. I did not have to calibrate my S Pen. So if the calibration did not fix this then I'd do the following.
Make sure you have the latest system updates. Mine is at T830XXU1ARH5/T830OM1ARH5 (that is T830 then the letter o then M1ARH5)
If that and changing the nib in the S Pen didn't fix it I'd take it back and either refund or exchange it. For this outlay of money it should work. Obviously it does with the Staedler so it could just be a defective S Pen. But best to return everything. Make sure to factory reset the device before you give it back.

Tried changing the nibs and updated the software to the latest version. Yet, nothing has changed really.
Unfortunately, I've passed the days that I can request a refund, so I might have to take it to Samsung's store to see if they can do anything about it.

It is frustrating when sometimes something just doesn't work right. I think you're right to go to the Samsung store. I would expect them to be able to exchange it as it should still be under the manufacturer's warranty.
I guess one more thing you could try is the factory reset and go through the entire setup process to see if it that clears the problem. I guess if you have the free time it'll save a trip to the store just in case it was a buggy initialization somehow. I don't know. The only time I had a problem on the Tab S3 with my S Pen was when the nib was broken when it was in my backpack. Replacing the nib fixed it but I now keep my S Pen in an old hard shell eyeglasses case when it lives in my backpack. I'll be doing the same with my Tab S4 S Pen when I finally finish transitioning all my work over to it.

Whenever I'm writing on the tab, I cannot write constantly, it goes off the axis randomly. Tried contacting Samsung, it was pointless, they said to calibrate by going to each corner of the tablet.
Yet, I feel like its the issue with the spen itself, I tried Staedtler's Noris Digital pen for Samsung, it works flawlessly but the downside was the missing button for the pen.

I had two Galaxy Tab S4 tablets and both had an accuracy issue. I made a video about it. Is yours like this?

Samsung doesn't seem too interested in "fixing" it. It seems like a software issue, but I also noticed the problem was worse with the bundled S-Pen. Using a Staedtler Noris Digital or a Note 8 S-Pen gives better results, but it's still not good enough I think for nearly $700.

Well, I haven't had the problems you had. Though I don't know what application you are using for your video. I'm using S Note and have no such issues.

Oh, okay. Yeah the problem was consistent across all apps. The app I used in the video is Squid. I've also used S-Note/Samsung Notes, Bamboo, OneNote, and Inkredible. Hope you figure out something for your problem..

Yes, that's similar to what I have. When writing, it is not consistent. Even with where I point my pen, the pointer is off by a few axis.

Interesting. So two people having the same problem. That is odd. There could be a manufacturing defect then for some of the units. I've also used Samsung Notes besides S-Note with no issues. I'd either return the devices for a refund / exchange or send them into repair. They should definitely not be so far off.

I tried two tablets and they both were the same. I wonder if a different manufacturing batch might be better
