Are there any Stylus' that work like the HTC Digital Pen?
I notice that when one is used on the Jetstream, there's an icon which allows you to change pen settings ect. I think that's the only reason I'd choose an HTC Tablet atm.
I don't think the Galaxy Tab has a digitizer layer like the flyer, jetstream, or thinkpad tablet. You can use a capacitive stylus to make annotations, but it's not the same as having a digitizer pen.

How is it that what I posted is wrong? The Galaxy tab does not have a digitizer.

Your right m8... Our Tab 10.1's don't have the hardware or software for that matter to do any type of drawing or accurate hand written notes like the Flyer or Jetstream. I had the Flyer before I got my Tab... I keep the styles in hopes that it would work with my Tab, it didn't.

Yeah, cool toy, but not even close to what the OP was asking. And you're wrong. There is no digitizer layer in the GT10, so your best bet is a capacitive stylus. Or a sausage.
I've posted this elsewhere, but I'll repeat it here - I bought the Wacom Bamboo Stylus for my iPad2, and it worked brilliantly with the iPad. I have since sold the iPad and got the GalTab 10.1, and the Bamboo barely works at all. It cant be used for POINT selection (pushing a button on a webpage or game) and it doesnt DRAW well unless you push down really hard - almost like the screen needs pressure depression in order to register.
I relied HEAVILY on the stylus on the iPad for both drawing and basic navigation, and that it doesnt work on the GalTab is disappointing. I dont know what the problem is, or what technically causes the difference, or if it's just the Bamboo, but it just doesnt work.
(And I cant imagine it's a problem with the Bamboo as all the stylii are essentially the same thing - just varying quality.)
Check out the App "TouchScreenTune" in the Development Forum or in the Android Market. You need Root to use it, but it solves your problem (especially about drawing)
Thank you... after reading through about 12 pages of posts (hard coming into a device this late and keeping up), I finally found that. Not sure I want to root yet - until now, getting rid of the Navbar was my #1 reason to root, but TSTune just moved up to the #1 spot. Waiting for Cyanogen, though.

Just root it. It's super easy. Tasks rom is incredible and with the tst app its just awesome.
It's not a matter of it being "easy", but if I want to. I'm on my fourth Android phone, the first 3 were rooted and ROMed - several times, the fourth doesnt need it... yet.
So far I have only TWO things I want to change that I can only get through rooting/ROMs... I'm not sure that's enough.
For me task's roms were the only driver for rooting.
With this installed the device was literally reborn!
The user experience is like night and day, I will never regret it.
After that i also installed TouchScreenTune...well now with a stylus (Adonit Jot Pro) and Supernote I no longer use paper for taking notes! It's just amazing.
Hello. I bought both a Sprint and Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 2. Amoung the many differences is the S PEN. The Sprint one does not have tne non-touch of the stylus to perform funtions on the phone.
For example, I can swipe pages or select a function without ever touching the screen with Verizon' stylus. And both sylus' are compatible with ea h phone. Tne manuals are correct for version.
My question: Has any body else experieced this. Is there a way to tell which stylus model you have? Would buying one off from Samsung products page help? Thanks!
My guess is what you are experiencing as non-touch S-Pen activities are actually the result of a mis-calibrated S-Pen. The S-Pen can actually be calibrated by carefully removing the button and turning the potentiometer nearest the tip clockwise with a tiny screwdriver. ( Clockwise decreases sensitivity )
I did this myself, and it solved the problem of Air-View activating touch elements. My service is with Sprint, by the way.
Are you finding other differences?

There are no differences between the two. As mentioned in your other thread (Verizon GNII section), my roommate has the Verizon flavor and each stylus works the same with both of our phones.

I guess my point is...which is correct? Should you be able to use it without touching the screen like Verizon manual shows, or do you have to use the hover feature with the light beam like the Sprint manual tutorial shows? Each is different. Thdy both work as it is stated for each carrier. ThT is what got me to finally post to see if anyone else who might have both to do a side by side comparison. Thanks!

your Sprint one is correct the thing you are experiencing on the Verizon one is a bug that had also been reported (and fixed) on the Sprint version... although if you like it better there is nothing wrong with "uncalibrating" your Sprint stylus so that air view touches on your Sprint one too... it's more of a matter of personal preference

Finally an answer. Thank you! I will be trying the "uncalibrating" method as it is really cool. Have a great day.
I guess I am going to have to actually go into the Verizon and Sprint stores to look at their models as even after "calibrating" both, they still function the same. Like I said before, the Verizon S Pen not actually having to touch the screen is totally cool. If you want to swipe to a different page it does it in the air. If you want to select a function or App, you just "tap" it without touching the screen. It has no round circle indicator that shows up like the Sprint model. I can't believe that I am the only one to have this working like this.
I tried the hard tap calibrating and also where you take the actual button cover off and calibrate to try to make them the same but they both still do their thing. And both S Pens function the same way if I use them on either phone. Trust me, if you could get this to work you would love it. I just wish I could figure out how to get the Sprint S Pen to do the same as it seems like it is missing something after using the one from Verizon.
Solved thanks to XDA-member!

That's also the reason why you don't get the air view functionality on the Verizon because it always thinks it is touching the screen. Hope this helps.

Yea! You are totally right. I wasn't sure at first what you meant by the pinky thing, but once I put my pinky on the tip of the S Pen and tried to swipe or whatever, it works. I guess now I just need to "jam" the rib in on the Sprint one and I will be good to go! HA! Thanks so much. You made my night.

Meh.. Its not great, but it's okay. You would never see me wearing one. I do, however, have my eyes on the Note 3. I own the s4 currently, but have always had a slight desire for the Note. I wasn't too sure about holding that monster up to my ear, but now that I have converted myself to only using a Bluetooth, I think I might JUMP (pun intended) on it.

I already have a Samsung smart watch... I pull it out of my pocket, press the button on the top-right, and I can see what time it is. Among other things it also makes phone calls, records video, and is quite adept at just generally being pretty awesome. :laugh:
I don't see the necessity for the smart watch, especially since it has to be paired with a phone. It seems cool and all, but I think it's far too limited to be used regularly, intuitively speaking, and is also a bit pricey and gimmicky, imo. Of course, I'm sure some will come along and sing of it's praises, but to that poor misguided chap, I simply reply: bellow your misguided attempts of impression to someone else, for I remain thoroughly unimpressed!
Instead of a smart watch, i would rather a Star Trek style communicator badge.
The Note 3 does look like a decent upgrade from the N7000.
One thing i would like to see in a smartphone is a digital radio receiver, rather than (or in addition to) FM. I know digital radio isn't as ubiquitous as FM - and the standard varies from place to place (DAB+ here in Australia, iirc). But it would be pretty neat, and certainly innovative.

im more interested in how the nexus 5 will turn out. The note 3 is good n all, but its too big for me, and s pen doesnt really grab me either. One of many good things i like about switching from sprint to tmobile is that switching phones is so much easier. ill have my s4 as a home phone and my nexus 5 as a going out device.
And seeing how t-mobile is dragging their feet with updating us without even giving us a reason, the nexus line is that much more appealing

Warning!! I just came across this at work when my co-worker asked me to set up his phone. I realized something was wrong when I saw the screen and size of this note 4. I decided to show it off for those who is considering picking up one from ebay or Craigslist. See the comparison from a real note 4 and see for yourself. There's no real difference w/ the software but the hardware might be a concern since the battery(charger) is not Original it might blow-up or melt. The fake one is really flaky and has weird random vibration and I would not recommend using it at ALL!!

It is definitely fake. Look at the lock screen. The one on the left says "ergency calls only" instead of "emergency calls only" like a real Note 4. Also, if you look at the batteries the one on the left says it is 11.something watt hours instead of 12.41 like a real Note 4. The "SM-910F" you see in the about phone screenshot is easily faked by editing the build.prop. I could make my SM-N910T say "SM-910TURD" if I wanted to..... The MOLY baseband is another dead giveaway.
It's nothing more than a very good clone

+1, the screen on the fake is of a cheap quality...I tapped on the screen and heard a hallow sound compared to the real note 4. It's not thick so one drop is probably done. Also, you can clearly see the LCD screen grid on the fake like those of a cheap IPS tablet or phone.
Interesting. Sorry your friend purchased that.

We see a few of these occasionally, but we are really good at catching them. This is a fake white one for your observation. One thing about them is the IMEI usually registers as an unidentified Nokia phone and the model number is one that doesn't exist from Samsung. Another thing to note: the obvious bezel alignment and other aesthetic features are only slightly different. This one is a bit more obvious.
One last thing I noticed was that the cloned Note 4's always seem to have a piece of blue clear plastic over the SIM slot or the MicroSD card slot.
I have previously received a fake SM-910F that looked and felt EXACTLY like the real thing. It had me fooled for a whole day of usage before I realized it secretly having a MediaTek CPU, having minor OS glitches every now and then, and none of Samsung's ROM tool recognized the phone.
Here are some pictures
S-Pen and fake Touchwiz
Front view looks EXACTLY like the real Note 4, because it's actually using the Note 4's digitizer:
Top of the screen:
Note that the home button is completely matte while it should be a bit glossy:
Back the phone, again looking exactly like the real deal (and probably made with real parts)
Top of the phone:
Side of the phone:
Fake IMEI label:
Unknown IMEI/Serial
Some weird Chinese recovery menu instead of Samsung's Download Mode
It's absolutely scary on how well the Chinese are able to counterfeit these days.
The fake one looks like the Mlais M4 Note Handset.
New update....the phone overheated and melt the battery. Like I expected it would. I warned my co-worker since he was going to give it to his daughter as a game/movie phone. Glad he gave it to me to check. If he didn't I can't imagine how bad it would have been!

1. Download mode REAL with knox & here is a Guide.
2. Samsung info app (General label/Tools). IF knox are not found =FAKE.

People should have waited, instead of "rushing in". Patience is a virtue.
This phone looks identical to the Note 7.
Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
I am raving about this phone specifically because we all know the Note 7 was "the most beautiful phone that ever was". Well now, we have a possible identical "replica", yet some of the specs simply blow away all competition bar none! Insane price tag of $1300 to prove it.
(The website I linked was used to give us an impression of what to expect. By all means check out some of the more established sites, such as gsmarena for more substantial information)

Dudes. Please don't do the silly thing all tech websites do, like "hey! best note 7 replacements" and then show phones WITHOUT STYLUS... Each time I am forced to take the bait and realize that's its yet another big screen phone with the exact same specs as any other flagship phone. A phone without a Stylus can't replace the Note 7.
Yet no one says "no stylus no dice" and rushes out to get the V20, Pixel, iPhone, etc, etc.
This is a Note 7esque Phone, and we are on the Note 7 forum. I mean sure, go for the Note Pro 12.2, even a S7 Edge, but to think otherwise?

I totally understand this. To be honest, I am still trying to figure out why so many people got the Note7, but admit the stylus wasn't important or a thing they used. Why didn't they upgrade to the S7 Edge six months earlier. To me, the point of the Note series was the stylus once the other phones got big screens, too. There is no other phone that makes taking hours of notes easy to do and easy to reference.
I am stuck in a horrible limbo without a true replacement phone. I keep hoping someone is going to post a "I found a replacement" link that has a stylus.

Premium build, Better looking form factor, larger screen, latest tech. etc. I use my stylus, just not as much as people think you're supposed to, that's like saying "why do you have a waterproof phone if you don't go swimming?" waterproof or not, my phone will never see water. If the S8 was an exact clone of the Note 7 minus the s-pen, I'm all over it. But if it comes out looking like another rounded, pebble-shaped, bubbly piece of glass like the S7 I'll once again pass and wait for the Note 8 that i hope has the sharper corners and better overall aesthetics . I work professionally as a graphic designer and freelance digital illustrator, and STILL maybe only pull the stylus out once a week to jot down a grocery list or idea, unless you're someones personal assistant or something like that, I really don't see the s-pen never leaving your hand.
The Note isn't and hasn't ever been just about the s-pen.

I am stuck in a horrible limbo without a true replacement phone. I keep hoping someone is going to post a "I found a replacement" link that has a stylus.

The s7 edge has "sharper" edges on the screen the Note 7 are more subtle making it easier to use. The always on display on the Note 7 is MUCH more useful. These are the two biggest and most important differences to me between the Note 7 and s7 edge. I don't use the S-pen all that often but there are some situations where it's unbelievably useful.

I thought so as well but My Wife's didn't. Third party apps still do not show up on her AOD. I have cleared cache and it did not help.

I hadn't noticed, but they don't show up on mine either. Maybe with the next update.

My wife's AOD in her s7 edge is practically useless. Basically just a clock.
My hope is that the note 5 gets the AOD when it gets the Nougat update. I just purchased a note 5 to use till the next note comes out.
I'm considering Pixel XL with Project FI. It's a downgrade for sure, but It's a fastest android phone and from Google. And Project FI is only available on Google phones - basically, unlimited text/talk plus some data, best coverage in the US and possibly the world for only $25 a month.
What do you think?

Its no way as useful even with the update.
It won't show you calendar appointments and tasks like it does on Note 7. Other SPen related features like pinning hand written notes on the AOD screen are amazing useful and convenient. These could never come to the S7 Edge.
