Need a good stylus for the vibrant

Anyone know of a decent stylus for the vibrant? I just ordered a cheapo one from ebay and it's not that great. It has a rubber tip so I can't swype or drag well. I just want one so I can use the phone without taking off my gloves during cold weather. Thanks.

What about touchscreen gloves, instead?

Doesn't the stylus have to be a capacitive touch screen stylus?

I also need to know this. I use Square to process credit cards for my business and customers have hard time using thier finger for signatures, I need a pen that will work and not scratch the screen.

the screen has gorilla glass so its almost impossible to scratch and you can just google capacitive stylus and go to the shopping section

I know of touchscreen gloves, but they don't act as good shooting gloves. I'd like to stick to my current gloves.

Yes, it does.
I've been doing some more research on it. I can't really find the perfect stylus. I tried to use my crappy stylus today and it was a hassle to get it in and out of my pocket. I think I may abandon the whole stylus thing altogether and go with another method like sewing some conductive thread into my shooting gloves.

Whoever wanted a stylus for signatures, it looks like the Dagi stylus give the best accuracy. I would've went with that, but it is kind of expensive and hear it stops working randomly.

That's the one with the foam tip right? Does it work on the 4 bottom buttons?

Just tried it on mine, and yes it does.

DayDeal.com has a HTC Branded stylus that looks exactly like the Dagi one. They also have several conductive foam tip ones as well. Just stay away from rubbery style tips. They are a little smaller and a little more precise for tapping, but they stick to the screen so Swype does not work well and neither would signatures.
BTW - Does the square hardware work with the T959 Vibrant?

Yes, square officially supports the vibrant.

Wow, that HTC one is just as expensive as the Dagi. I would've gotten one, but read some reviews about it not working after a while.

The best stylus I've used is, by far, the Griffin. I got mine from Amazon for just under $15. I bought it for sketching on my iPad but use it on my Vibrant as well.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0041D0K1Q/ref=oss_product
The tip is soft rubber (as opposed to conductive foam like the Pogo) that slides across the screen nicely. The eBay kinds have rubber that skids and leaves marks - the tip on this one does not. I've used it on bare screens, crystal clear screen protectors, and matte anti-fingerprint screen protectors with no issues whatsoever.
Sensitivity and accuracy are better than the Pogo and it works at all angles, unlike those crap eBay kind.
From what I understand, Targus and Boxwave make versions that are pretty much identical. I think they all run about the same price, so I guess go with whatever brand you like best.

Targus - Stylus for Apple® iPad™
Works just as good and can pick up at local best buy. I sell these with cell phones all day long.

AAhhh...I should have checked locally first. I just ordered the Griffin through amazon. Hopefully I get it before winter is over. Thanks for all your help guys. I was pretty close to sewing that conductive thread on my gloves which I did not want to do.

well, if those other options don't work out for you, you might want to consider some meat:

i just got the griffin stylus. its pretty nice. slick on the screen. doesnt grip at all. needs little to no pressure on the screen. only problem is finding the sweet spot for the 4 bottom buttons. it only works like half the time with more pressure.

Fine tipped capacitive stylus?

Hi there,
So my business would be made so much easier if I could have documents signed directly on my s3. I've got the app that performs flawlessly but now I just need the stylus.
As I wait for the Note 2, are there any fine tipped capacitive stylus that is well known and works well?
Thanks for your response.

I've got a Hand Stylus which works well, it's got a 4mm tip. Smallest tip you can get that isn't device specific.
There's also the C-Pen (if I remember the name right) from Samsung made specifically for the S3, but I've heard it isn't very good.

I linked you to the Jot classic.. the $15 one. That is what I have. I don't even know if the pro works with android (and don't care, because i NOT paying 100 bucks for a stylus)

the jot flip is pretty nice, as it has a pen in it too... but I just don't carry it around enough to justify it.

I was just looking at that site XD
So it's a good stylus then? The center of the disk reads fine and all that? It's weird but their videos on the site focus more on the idea of the product than actually showing it in action. That got me kinda thinking it wasn't as good as they were making it out to be.

OP What app are you using?

Cool spen trick! Tap while hovering.

So if you want to tap while hovering. Get the s pen close to the screen and put your finger under the s pen tip and press the tip in. I just found out that the screen isn't the one recognizing the taps. The s pen has a sensor that tells the phone that it is touching the screen. Maybe many of you knew this but I just found out so wanted to share!

Neat! Even though you would have to practice to be able to do it well, since it is so tiny.
They should have added an extra button on the pen to do that action.

Ya I really wish they did. I been trying to find some kind of method to tap while hovering for a longggg time

I wish clicking the button on the S-Pen could function as a tap so I could browse like this...

That would be pretty cool.. It's probably just a matter of time here at XDA.
Actually I might get an extra pen & try to take this on. If the phone can register a click while hovering using your trick (which I tried and it definitely does), it should theoretically be possible to remap the hard-button to tap into the same trigger that the phone recognizes when the pen's tip is pressed. It's gonna be a ***** getting this pen apart but at least the button is close to the tip :good:.
If anyone knows where to get a note 2 pen for less than $50 let me know..
EDIT: Just discovered that if you hold your finger over the tip of the pen (keeping the tip depressed) you can scroll/tap/etc. when you're within an inch or two of the screen.. Intersting

The idea that I was thinking of, as a spin-off to the OP's comment, was having a pen modified so that you could just wave over the screen to move around within the OS and just tap the button to interact. Obviously it's not a game-changer but it would be fun playing some games or even swyping without having to touch the screen.
There might even be a way to modify a glove or something that works in a manner similar to kinect.. of course you'd have to be pretty close to the screen but still might be a fun little project to play around with.. Anyway, extra pen is on it's way.. we'll see where this goes.

I think you could just remove the s-pen button cover and adjust the sensitivity pot and achieve the same thing?

Prety neat trick consideringi have the invisable shield and the spen destroys it

Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but another cool spen trick that I happened upon while hovering is switching from pen to eraser by clicking the spen button.

Since it looks like we are starting a Cool S-Pen thread here it works ridiculously well in splashtop and gives you a super responsive and accurate mouse
And as for figuring out a way to click without touching the screen it would probobly be easier to swap the input events rather than physically modding the pen

Wow that's a much better idea than the hardware mod I was thinking of.. I'm an absolute beginner at coding & hardware comes easily to me so I don't feel too stupid for not thinking of it.
Ideally I want to try & write an app that would give you the option of switching the preset input events on the fly so I could go from normal spen use to "hover" spen mode with an IME type notification or something.. Now where to begin

Any full size weighted stylus that is confirmed to work?

Looking for a full sized, nicely weighted, pen-feel stylus that has definitely been confirmed to work with the 2014 edition with no offset etc.

Same here! I had a bamboo feel which had an offset. I've e-mailed bamboo to see which of their model's work but I haven't heard back yet. I'm wondering if the samsung one works well. I can't find it in any local stores though.

I tried the bamboo feel carbon model, there is a significant 2mm offset. I also tried a bamboo fell model for galaxy note, it has much less offset, but also a little bit.

I've been using a Microsoft Surface stylus without any issue. Please note I do not keep "show stylus" enabled on my Notes, but where the pen lands is where the pen draws, there is no offset with actually writing / drawing. The eraser also works. I figured I would give it a try once I heard Microsoft has a Wacom Digitizer.

Yea I'd probably also prefer the bamboo feel but the offset is too much. If the surface pen works as well as its reported to work then I'll be happy. I've been looking around for the Samsung s pen.

Everything works just as expected including the eraser, this is a stylus made for a Wacom Digitizer on the Surface Pro. I think it is the exact same pen as the Samsung one which is so hard to find. I keep the pointer disabled because I find it highly distracting.

Also I'm not a fan of the harder tip on the surface pen. It seems like you have to press harder on the screen for it to register.

I just bought the surface pen as the s-pen was giving me hand cramps for extended writing periods.
So far, the offset is quite noticeable with the cursor on and annoying when trying to draw pictures with. However for taking notes, I found it to be manageable especially with the cursor off. I'm going to stick with it until something better comes along or some way to calibrate it with root.
The harder tip is certainly preference. I'm enjoying it quite a bit as theres hardly any resistance from fingerprint smudges.

I picked up the Surface Pro pen as well. The offset is pretty large which may be how I'm holding it. If I hold it vertically it centers right up but as it tilts the offset increases.

[Q] Thin Tipped Stylus?

Is anyone aware of a stylus pen that has a thin tip to be used with the G3. I'm going back to the G3 from a Note4 and really like the ability to make grocery lists etc with the s-pen. Obviously I don't expect the same precision, but just looking for something that has a thinner tip than your typical stylus that's pretty thick. Thanks!

You could probably buy an s pen. Of course the button won't work but it feel the same.

I know of the Wacom black magic trickery going on with the Note series, its the Digitizer-something or other.
But regarding a normal Android "type" screen, I have read somewhere, in the Google Android API documentation i believe, that there is a minimum contact "patch" size for the Android system to register, 1/4" or 6mm, i think it said.
But the exception to the typical Android touch scenario is the LG Stylos and the G Pad series.
How does the LG do this with the much smaller tip size, which is obviously different from the S-Pen's tip/ digitizer combo.
I haven't come across anything that the LG uses a special screen or such.
Does LG just use different/ altered source code to shrink the contact size required to use such a small tip as they do, about 1/8".
Anybody have any ideas?
If it is coding, could a Custom ROM utilize this altered coding to use a smaller tip as LG has for other devices?
My daily drivers are a Note 4 & a Note 10.1 2014, but had a Tab S 10.5, prior to the Note 10 and is when i started pursuing this because I hate a big bulbous tip that is too annoyingly big & imprecise.
Thanks in advance,
