what is the best stylus that is available for accurate writing and sketching?
-Is the Samsung Note stylus works with the galaxy S2?
Thank you.
The Note's pen will not work as it is not as stylus, it's a digitizer pen that uses a special system in the screen.
To be honest, and I have more experience with capacitive styli than probably 99.9% of people on here, the S2 is too small to really give you good accuracy with any stylus that is designed for normal capacitive screens. A stylus is even pretty useless for notes and sketching on my 7-inch Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, and even on my iPad I rely heavily on apps that get around the inherent inaccuracy of capacitive styli with apps that have great zoom or magnification options. Navigating menus etc as an extension of your finger is one thing, but sketching and note taking is something completely different.
If you do decide to get one, stay far far away from those generic brands you find on eBay etc, and far away even from styli from Belkin, Griffin etc that you normally find in electronics stores. The more expensive styli ($20-30 range US) are in a whole other class when it comes to both accuracy and durability. I would suggest a stylus that doesn't look huge next to the S2, which eliminates some of the bigger ones out there that are big to emulate permanent markers. Both the Architect Stylus and Wacom Stylus are great and small. I have both, and they're a bit more sanely sized next to the S2 than e.g. the Cosmonaut, AluPen, Maglus etc. You might however want to look at the Jot stylus first. For accuracy on a small screen, it's probably your best bet, though the disc type tip is not to everyone's taste
Thank you very much you I think i will go with the JOT PRO.
you guys really want to see this.
i know the screen of galaxy is too small when comparing to tab,but that guy is really amazing [video is a part of avdt of stylus]
Yep, it is of course possible to do on such a small screen, but you end up zooming and panning a lot. The Galaxy Note is a whole other beast with that pen it comes with, will be interesting to see what pops up on YouTube in terms of drawings made on it
question about the stylus used in the above video

That's a Just Mobile AluPen. Won't work with drawing tablets, completely different technology
Had DAGi Stylus P101 model lying around and tried it since it's winter... have to say it works just fine swiping, scrolling and everything else on my SGS2.

Not that they would work, but they are sold separately. Replacements for Notes, obviously
I ordered a cheap $1 Stylus off ebay some time ago, still waiting for it to arrive. While it may not be as accurate as the higher class ones, I don't really need it that bad to begin with (I've come to accept that taking notes on my SGS2 isn't a viable option).
I'm trying to use my Bamboo feel on my 2014, but it's off by an uncomfortable amount. Is there a fix for this? Will there be one?
if it's like the note 8 then, not without kernel source. on the note 8 you can't calibrate or change anything without editing the kernel. you may be able to pop off the button and adjust two potentiometers there and adjust your offset. my feel registers perfectly without adjustment..

Wacom has a new Feel pen just for galaxy, new part number. I think it was made for the 8 so it may work for the 2014.

Can you link me? I just bought this one from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BVUQZZ2/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
looks like I lied to you. I've been using my feel perpendicular to the screen so I saw no offset. holding it naturally and drawing it's about a mm off to the bottom right. I may check to see if I can adjust tje offset with the pots, but it may mess up the offset with my windows tabjets.

I'm assuming you're also using a non-standard pen (ie bamboo or something)? My situation is just as you say. It's about a mm off to the bottom right. I said it was uncomfortably off.. but that might have been an exaggeration. I"m using it now to do my calc homework and it's not bad, but I'm getting into drawing and ti's going to be a little troublesome there.
If you find a way to fix it let me know. Thanks.
mine actually says it's for galaxy note and devices with wacom digitizers. it's a w300UK something. unless there's another one floating around mine is supposedly made for it. good thing about the windows tablets is that i can calibrate pens, so if i adjust any pots it should be able to just run calibration again on the win tabs.

Do you think taking the tip out and gently grinding it down on the end that isn't being used to write might help correct the offset a little?

Not sure if the pen body is shorter or if the nib is shortened.
You could use a fingernail emery board but what ever you use if you take to much off you may not be able to get the nib out.
2mm = 5/64 inch or 0.0787401574804 inches.

Besides the nib being shorter I don't see why this one would definitely work better than the one that I have. My bamboo is also advertised as a s-pen designed for the galaxy series.

Call Wacom and ask them what pen is correct for your device.
is it possible a firmware update will fix this?
I have the same pen, and I am returning it. the "2" version is smaller on the taper part of the pen. That maybe the missing distance required for proper alignment. I gave the pen a week or so, and I have decided that the offset is way too much to live with. If there is anyone that has tried the new version, I would love to hear your thoughts on it.

Same here. In another thread someone has said that the Microsoft surface Stylus worked with the 2014 with no offset, although the cursor doesn't register when you hover it above the screen. Last I heard we were wondering if air command and other hover features still worked.

I bought it and air command and cursor Work, there is a slight offset if you hold the pen at an angle. There's no offset if you hold it straight up I also don't like the included hard nib, I'm scared of scratching the screen. The eraser Works well and its more pressure sensitive than the S-pen

That is similar to the feel, vertically there no offset. I will probably give it some time and e-mail wacom before buying the other version.

I ordered the "2" version of the Bamboo Feel directly from Wacom's site and just got it. It works MUCH better than the widely available version (which I got from Amazon). As you said the tapered part of the pen is shorter, and I am able to write at an angle with minimal if any offset. I am able to make precise drawings without having to either hold the pen vertically or trying several times to get accurate lines. Also, so far I'm noticing far less random squiggles at the end of strokes that I was getting with the normal Bamboo feel. I'm happy I got this.
I ordered the Bamboo Feel on Amazon and everyone is right, in LectureNotes I had to make a 14 pixel offset to the left with that stylus. I am returning the Feel 1 and getting the Feel 2 from Wacom as noleafclover has posted. Thank you for the suggestion.
There's a thread here for our device that is discussing full sized styluses. I got to looking around in online stores, and one thing keeps showing up in tech specs of all styluses I find: "pi." 5.5pi, 6.5pi, 6pi, 8pi, etc.
What does pi mean and how does it relate to our tablet?
If you buy a stylus for this tablet, must it be a certain pi, greater than or equal to a certain pi, etc? Or will all pi work, but with varying accuracy or something?
I have searched for my answer already, but cant get any results, so sorry if this is a stupid question.

pi is measuring unit for the TIP of the stylus pen, a lower number is better accuracy, more details but the screen(digitizer) must support it . The newest Galaxy 5 is 2.5pi and the Note 10.1 is 6.5pi. Hope the info help.

Did you mean our Note 10.1 or the older version?
(I REALLY wish that Samsung had called the 2014ed something different. It's so different in dimensions and hardware from the older 10.1, and it makes shopping for it hard! I can only imagine being a seller of accessories too. ... anyway....)
If the 2014 10.1 is 6.5pi, then I am guessing that getting, let's say, a 2.5pi S-Pen wouldn't work? But getting an 8.5pi probably would?
I guess I'm just a tiny bit confused still. If one were to buy a different S-Pen stylus for the 2014 ed Note 10.1, what pi range(s) should be considered? ex: 6-8.5pi.

either 6.5 or 8 or whatever would work, but it's kind of what do you need it for? for fine writing and architect drawing you need a small pi, with 8pi It would be hard to connect a 2 thin lines, it's like a different when you try to write with a crayon or a pencil. with a huge tip usually for older device where you use the pen for tab on small icon or swipe the screen, not design for drawing or writing, but it stills work. My best recommendation is get the one that design specific for your device, remember, the tip is one thing but you also need pressure sensitive which you only could find best with the Galaxy Note series. If you buy a same pi pen from another third party and not design for the Note, you still could write and draw but you can't control the pressure sensitive aspect. Heck, you could write with your finger too if you want, but will not as thin and pretty as use a S pen!

Thanks!
Yeah, I was looking at doing drawings, so I guess 6.5pi would be what was needed since it's the same as the stock S-Pen. I'm not actually going to buy anything right now, but was mostly just curious because there are full-sized styluses on the market for tablets like the (I think) the Surface, and supposedly, they would work for the Note too.

For writing or drawing, you could buy one with the eraser(just like a pencil, one end with tip and the other end with eraser), kind of cool and convenience. It will save you time.
I'm looking for a full sized stylus without any offset issue and have been following the other thread with interest but no-one yet seems to have found something which ticks all the boxes. I'm also a little confused about a couple of things and would appreciate some help. My Q's are:
Is the S-Pen powered and therefore charged by the tablet? I've got both the original and 2014 Note 10.1's and the stylus from the original works on the 2014 no problem and without offset. The thing is the battery is completely flat on the original as it's not been used for some time yet the stylus still works and I'm pretty sure it can't have any charge left in it so how is it then working?
The driver behind this is that I was looking to get a stylus holder for the 2014 stylus but can't find one so thought I'd get an original stylus/holder to use with the 2014 but the issue being I wouldn't be able to keep it charged as the original note is about to be sold.
I've read that the Surface Pro stylus works on the 2014 without much, if any offset. Looking around I found this stylus...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/2XNo1access...qid=1394362536&sr=1-1&keywords=surface+stylus ...and wondered is anyone had any experience of using one or know whether it would work with the 2014.
Any help guys, very much appreciated.
Edit: I've now found an old wide metal pen which both the original and 2014 styluss fits into, funny thing is when either stylus is placed inside the old pen they don't work on the 2014 screen but when they're taken out they both work fine. Weird, is this because the holder has a metal body?

If a pen you're using has no offset issue on another Samsung Note device but does on your N10.1-14 then something's wrong with your N10.1-14. If the pen included with your N10.1-14 has an offset issue it should have it on all Samsung Note devices. I got a S Pen wet once and it developed an offset issue and I had to replace it so they can be damaged or defective. As for a full-size stylus my favorite is the HM-5100 which is also a BT headset. It's pricey though. It's the one on the bottom.

My current S-Pens don't have any offset, I'm looking for an additional full size stylus that doesn't have any offset issues but it appears most do. Your picture won't enlarge for some reason. Is the third one down one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Genuine-E...UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL&hash=item485ec2b59b ...if it is I'd be interested in knowing if you've noticed any offset issues with it? It uses the original 10.1 stylus right? It's also less than half the cost of the Bluetooth stylus, which is just too expensive.

It's not a holder - it's a stand-alone stylus. I use it for voice commands and quick phone calls as its a true BT headset. It's great as a stylus because it's weighty and feels good against the glass panel. The button's also well placed so it's easier and more natural to use.

What he said.
The feel of the HM5100 is superb compared to the standard Spen. If it's charged then it doubles as a BT mic/speaker. If it's not charged then it's still the best feeling stylus that I've come across
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.

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.

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.

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
