We need an alternative stylus pen thread!

I'm pretty sure once we're all spoiled by stylus, we'll be desiring bigger styluses that will work with our phone. So anybody tested alternative Wacom styluses on the phone yet? So far the one that doesn't work according to another forum I read:
Works
Fujitsu T4210 tablet stylus Link
HP TM2 tablet stylus
Motion Computing M1400
OQO 02 stylus
Toshiba m200 stylus
Does not work
Wacom Bamboo
Intuos 2 Link
Cintiq Link
Intuos 3
Anyone here lives next to a Fujitsu or Wacom store able to test the rest for us?

Does work:
Motion Computing M1400
Which works with the Fujitsu ST5112, so by extension, the stylus for ST5112 should also work.

Does work:
1. OQO 02 stylus
2. Toshiba m200 stylus
The erazer on the other end and the buttons work as well!

I wonder which of these are the cheapest?

No one else tried other stylus?

pago sketch works good but it wont have any button....

My HP Compact TC1100 tablet's stylus works, along with the button. At some point I'll try out the eraser end too but I currently don't have that stylus with me.

Any stylus made for Windows tablet pcs--wacom stylus for those devices will work.

Aww man. Just updated...

I'll test my lenovo x220 pen when it arrives. It will probably work, it's a wacom penabled.

Original Samsung ET-S110E Stylus Pen for Galaxy Note 5.3" + spare stylus (ET-S100E) included.

Aww man, I love the Intuos pens. I guess I don't even have to bother trying them now...

Can anyone recommend a good pen/stylus combo?
Cheers.

I am using a Fujitsu T2020 pen on the Note. It works perfectly! Size is right for me at least, tip is responsive on the Note, button on the pen works as it should, AND the eraser-round-tip on the other end works, without having to choose the eraser icon manually. Just flip the pen, the eraser appears.
My T2010 is a Wacom Penabled.

[Q] Can the S-Pen be used on other touch screens?

Apologies if this has been asked before, but can someone reliably inform me if the S-Pen can be used on other touchscreens not officially supporting the S-Pen?

The GN2 S Pen will work on Galaxy Tab devices with S Pen, but you couldn't for example, use it with a HTC or iPhone.
The S Pen is a Wacom device, so needs the handset to have a Wacom screen & drivers to work.
That's a very basic explanation, but you should get the idea.

To add to this, the technology behind the spen is largely driven by the software side of things so for it to work you need both the compatible software and hardware.
It doesn't operate the same as a capactive stylus, which is a good thing as it is how we can get such percision from the pen.

thanks guys for the quick and informative responses, understand now

In that case it must have a Wacom stylus and digitizer

Does that mean the S-Pen will work with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 P3100??
I have tried to get a definitive answer, but nothing so far??

No because it is a potentiometer stylus. That means it converts the movement of the pen into electrical signals. That requires a power source which it doesn't have. The digitizer create a magnetic field which powers the spen.
So other phone don't have it and you can't use spen with them. You can use a conductive stylus which just stimulates your fingers
this is XXXDDDAAA

Can the note 3 pen be used with the s7 edge? If so, what software is needed? I really miss being able to use it since my note 7 was recalled.

So will the s pen purchased separately work with the galaxy a tab 10.1 WUXGA

[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.

Yes he could buy one, but no it wouldn't work, seeing as the G3 doesn't have the Wacom internals of the note devices.

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,
Shakey Dave

[Q] Do you think I can use LG stylus for LG G4?

I have an LG G Stylo (which is the same phone as the upcomming LG G4 Stylus and uses the same stylus as the LG G3 Stylus)
The stylus IS capacitive like all your other generic styli you see in stores and online however it is VERY thin.
I have tried the stylus on various other devices like my old phone (HTC Desire 601), and LG Volt, and a PS Vita and the stylus does not work on those at all.
I think the touchscreen digitizers of the LG G stylo (and other LG stylus phones) are much more sensitive to allow such a smaller touch.

Question Is there any hack to use/bypass REGULAR S-Pens & disable warnings?

So if I hold down buttons (on a forbidden stylus)) I can click and drag in my fold4. It is ABSOLUTELY compatable with older stylus
Its a simple matter of having it allowing the frequency codes of the other stylus. We know it sees them in order to throw up the warnings.
I strongly believe the "will damage your screen" warnings are for gorillas who might use the phone.
I have never warn out a single stylus,
I am a very light pressure drawer and on op of that I have soft nibs & spring nibs from other pens
I want to take the risk and use my standard pens as I have many Wacom devices I use at once and it get annoying swaping pens.
Yes I have the 2-in-1 pro spen. But I dont want the hassle of having to flip the switch 100 times a day.

Same here, hope there is a workaround.

¿Any non samsung spen compatible with our fold 4? I don't want the bt version, just a standar one to have it at home.

Nillkin iSketch Adjustable Capacitive Stylus... Bought one a year or so ago. It works on ALL capacitive touch screens...
Cost around $50Aud but work brilliantly...
Quick search found here - https://www.aliexpress.com/i/4000379135172.html
You should find a little cheaper if you look as this was 1st hit I found....

I have an old Samsung HM5100 stylus and I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to be able to use it with my fold 4. If anyone can figure out how I can I will be forever thankful.

Came from Note 20 Ultra. There is no reason I shouldn't be able to use it on my Fold4.

Let us all not let this thread die, please.
I have a Note 8 AND a Note 10+.
Both their S-Pen's air gestures can be recognized by the sensors on the Fold 4's inner display.
And I'm gonna be using it with a screen protector anyway.
I don't understand WHY anyone hasn't paid attention to this thread yet.
Come on guys, you'll be collecting blessings out of this.

do the old spens of the note, tab, s series work on fold 4? I have both bt and non bt spen.

NO !
SPen Fold edition has an special "retractile nib system" to use with Samsung Folds

Oddly enough, I use the Nilikin Spen on all my devices and it works on the fold 4 even when I turn the SPEN 'off' on the phone, because it is a powered pen (chargeable) .. but- it defeats the purpose. The pen is BIG and has to be carried just as the original SPEN coming from Samsung, and the fold phones do not have WHERE to put them, unless the case has it, and I use the phone naked. Further more- I use a Samsung laptop and it comes with a built in pen that DOES NOT work on the FOLD. Frustration? Hack yeah ! So I have a pen that works on 'all' my devices, but it isn't a reasonable solution. Also - The Nilikin pen has a fairly wide tip compared to the original FOLD SPEN. Not great. Samsung must find a way, with such a bulky phone, to host an SPEN, and better be one compatible to their other devices (laptop and N10/N20 series). Pathetic solution so far for the FOLD 3/4 .

Ok, I won't buy it then!
