Hey guys,
In excitement to receive the new S III on Verizon, I have set to search for cases, screen covers, etc. However, I happened to come across the Samsung S III C Pen in another post and was wondering what your thought were on it. Has anyone try it yet?
I'm an Animation Student in Digital Arts, and would like to use the C Pen for quick sketching on the S III.
The Samsung's link is here:

Forgive me in advance if this topic was meant to be posted in the Q&A section instead of here,
Cheers,

While I can't speak to the C Pen itself, my understanding is that it is just a capacitive stylus, unlike the S Pen for the note. That being the case, you will probably end up with a similar experience to other capacitive screen styli. Their quality can vary greatly but they are all just trying to replace your finger.

I don't think this is true. I saw a video (can't remember where now) that showed this C Pen in use and although it wasn't like the Note's S Pen, it wasn't like a normal stylus either. It is supposed to only work on the GS3 from what I understand and the person in the video used it on an iPhone to prove it. I ordered one yesterday. I will update this post once I get it and let you all know what I think of it.
I also have the Galaxy Note phone so I will be able to compare the 2.
i have watched one video, the only thing interested me...was that the stylus works only on S3, but no respond on iPhone.
Just wonder if it was true or not. and whats the point for that....:good::good:
I bought one last week and ended up sending it back. It looks and feels fantastic, but it didn't work that great with my screen protector installed (Zagg InvisibleShield) The surface was too "tacky" for any real precise usage. I mainly bought it for Draw Something and stuff like that. Now if you don't have a screen protector it should work perfect. Also I was under the impression that you could use it on tablets as well, going off the Amazon description that says: "Replacement for using fingers on your tablet or smartphone touchscreen" Sadly that isn't the case. I tried it on my Acer Iconia a500 tablet and my wife's Galaxy Nexus and it didn't do a thing. That's mainly my fault though for not doing research on it before hand and just going off of the Amazon description. So all that being said, if you don't have a screen protector installed or have something other than a Zagg InvisibleSHIELD, you shouldn't have an issue with it.

What about ghost armor? I know it's same idea as Zagg, but you said "something other than Zagg InvisibleSHIELD"

If it is the same as the Zagg where the screen protector is tacky, then it will probably have the same results. It would probably work better if there isn't a screen protector on there or a crystal clear one. I have a regular capacitive stylus and using it on my Transformer, you can feel a little resistance with a "tacky" protector.

The SGSIII uses a capacitive stylus. I tried my GNote stylus on the SGSIII and it does not work. The GNote can take a WACOM (Stock) stylus and a capacitive stylus and work I believe.
I do like using S Memo from my GNote to jot notes so I ordered the OEM Stylus for my SGSIII as well.

Yea I know. I also have the GNote but I also have the Wacom Intuos 5 tablet and my GNote stylus does not work on it and the Wacom stylus does not work on my GNote either. I also ordered the OEM Stylus for my SGS3. Should be here early next week. :good:
And for the OP. Your first mistake was putting a Zagg shield on your phone. I used to use them on all my phones pretty much when they were the only option but Zagg shields suck. They're tacky like you said and they discolor, turn an ugly brownish color and the corners eventually peel (quicker than most other screen protectors I've used). There are plenty of better options out there now. I, personally, choose to keep my phones naked now. :cyclops:
Noob question:
does it take batteries somehow? I would imagine the pen simulates our fingers' electroblahblah pulses somehow... right?

A wacom pen works with magnets. You can actually write though something as thick as cardboard and it will still work.

any update? how do you like it?
I got the C pen today. If you are thinking it will be close in operation to a WACOM pen or the Galaxy Note, it is not. Not even close.
The C pen is well made but the rubber tip skips along and is not smooth. I have not quite figured out the best angle for writing (I am left handed). The C pen does work for flipping screens and apps etc.
I will keep it and play with it some more, but it is really more of show off feature that is not nearly as useful as it is on the GNote. I wanted to try it because I do actually take and keep notes on my GNote. I will update if I discover anything new.
The S pen is absolutely not worth it. It doesn't work on any other devices besides the SGSIII
And it really doesn't work any better that other styli on the SGSIII. The only thing it has going for it is that it looks beautiful.
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.
Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere, I searched and found nothing - Anyway - Does anyone else have a sticky s-pen? I have this tablet, coming from a Note 8.0, and if I use that s-pen on the 10.1 it's fine, just like writing on glass, but using the one supplied with the 10.1 it's like writing on soft plastic, there's a lot of inertia between nib and glass. At first I thought I'd left a screen-protector on and after spending 10 minutes trying to pick the glass off the front realised there wasn't one. Hopefully my s-pen will wear-in in time but did anyone else have the same "problem"?

And thanks again, there were indeed, 7 more, including 2 hard ones which are perfect for me. I can't imagine anyone wanting the drag you get from the original (and 5 spares) but each to their own...

The orignial nibs have a feel much more like the drag of a pen or pencil on paper and I much prefer it as it makes controlling the pen much easier. A hard nib feels like it's skittering over the surface of the glass and is most unsatisfactory.
Fortunately for both of us, we get to choose which one we prefer.

I appreciate that but I think the one I had was a bit too sticky, almost like crayon on paper, I might try some of the others to see if they're all the same.
I have to say that I also prefer the hardtips, allows me to write faster. I noticed that when the screen is very clean the friction on the softtips is pretty noticable. Once the screen has a few fingermarks on it, it goes easier because the oil/sweat acts as a lubricant. The hardtips aren't affected that much by the surface conditions on the screen.

There was a case I saw a long time ago that seemed like it could be nice to have. As of today I started craving it and want to buy it.
It is case with a swivel hand strap on the back. This would allow for comfortable holding while drawing or carrying around. Allowing for working in Landscape or Portrait without any hand discomfort.
I had put the case on a wish list on Amazon, but I have since deleted it. Does anyone know of one? I am not having any luck finding on today.

I recently switched from a Note 10.1 to a Windows tablet, but also use it for drawing. Currently I am using a standard leather case with something called "hand-e-holder" attached. I got mine on Ebay, but Amazon sells it also. There is a pad(sort of like velcro) that attaches to the case or tablet. The handle then sticks to the pad, so the handle can be removed it needed. Whats also good is that it is very comfortable, and does not freely rotate when trying to draw.
I looked into a couple of other "handles" that either stick on or wrap around the device, but I think will fit your needs the best. When searching Amazon for the Hand-e-holder, if you look at the related products you'll find similar handles.
I tried cases that rotate but there's no resistance to it tends to rotate in every direction when trying to draw.
Hope that helps. Us artists, got to stick together.

I went with a manufacturer refurbished Samsung Ativ 700T. It has the same specs as the Surface Pro 2, but is lighter, does not get as hot, a bit better battery life, and a 12" screen. That extra 2" makes a difference when using Photoshop with palettes. I got mine from an online retailer off off Ebay for $600. I use a wacom pen and it works the same as it would with the standard drawing tablet.
Just for preformance reference, I use Photoshop CS6 (64bit)on it. My files are around 80mb, with around 30-50 layers, and a dpi of 300. No real lag unless using a large brush. If you a fast sketcher you might get some lag, but at that sketch stage my image rez is usually at 72dpi so I don't have an issue.
If you have any specific question about my setup don't be afraid to ask. I'm always willing to help out a fellow artist. I did a lot of research on all the competing tablets. Plus I had the same decisions to make when purchasing mine.
On a side note, the best painting apps for Android are, Layerpaint HD, Sketchbook Pro, and Infinite Painter(note edition). LayerPaint HD is probably my favorite because of the tool set and the interface is the most similar to Photoshop. Sketchbook Pro and Infinite Painter have brushes that simulate actual brushes more realistically. Clover Paint is also interesting. Its the only one where you can set up the interface with custom shortcuts(to brushes and such). Its not very intuitive though.
Also if you didn't know you can use a actual wacom pen (UP-801E) with the Note. The eraser functions as an eraser and some of the apps use the side switch. Plus because it is bigger it is easier to hold for long periods. The pen is discontinued but you can still find some on Ebay and other online retailers.

I love using a stylus with my S2. I think I actually do so more than I used the S-pen on my previous Note devices. I am actually just using one of the type that you described because I found a few lying around. I wouldn't mind upgrading to a more... stylish stylus (heh) but the kind I'm using does work quite well. Let me know if you find a nice one that you like :good:
Personally I just use a cheap and cheerful stylus from the pound shop. Maybe one of the soft rubber ones that you don't want (it's dome-ended and semi-flexible, not pointed) but it works well enough and if it breaks or dents (the body is thin aluminium) then just replace it with a new one. My S2 case has a pen/stylus loop to store it, and for me it's fine.
My kids also use styluses (stylii?) on their tablets (Hudl's) - they have solid novelty ones that look like pencils but again work fine (although are a bit chunky and small for my adult hands).
So after checking out amazon and some local stores, I still have not found the best pointy stylus that I want but one that I can compromise with and some others.
The Adonit Jot Pro really works, but just worried about the plastic that it will eventually scratch enough of the screen.
The cross dual stylus is the one I compromised based on that it has a pen and the slim and firm rubber of the stylus. Can be slippery to use as a pen though.
Bamboo's smart stylus pen, though advertised to work for samsung galaxy devices does not work. I tried it at a local bestbuy.
But you could get the one from Bamboo with carbon fiber tip (not pointy) and that one works.
Maybe buying this in the future to just try Lynktec Apex Fine Point Stylus. It is advertised to work with galaxy tab s2 in the shopandroid website.
Hopefully you guys can find better than I do.
does this tablet have a pressure sensitive digitizer? someone on Reddit said it did...
Hey guys, I just got a pack of styli that I ordered from Amazon this AM and I'm finding them to be pretty nice in addition to a killer deal. I was doing some research on the topic and found a couple that looked good in a Lifehacker article, but checking out the reviews lots of people had some kind of beef with their recs and they were about $15 each. Browsing around Amazon lead me to these: http://www.amazon.com/Bargains-0-18...49936069&sr=1-2&keywords=bargain+depot+stylus which looked like they were worth a shot, so I grabbed a 4-pack for $9, because math.
So they just showed up about an hour ago, and I would definitely recommend them. The stylus itself has a bit of weight to it, so it feels like using a decent pen, and the tip feels like it's just the right size. In addition to a bag of extra tips that you can switch out if necessary, each has a cap also which I thought was a nice touch. So I'm not sure if this is what everyone's looking for, but if you want a comfortable/precise stylus you really can't go wrong here.
Does anyone have any stylus-centric apps that they frequently use? The S2 is my first non-Note device in a while, so I'm used to doing things with an S-pen that a stylus isn't capable of. I just DLed Google Handwriting Input and Squid (nice for marking up PDFs). I use mine just for swiping around a lot because I have a tablet stand that's a little far from my chair, but I'd interested in hearing about any other apps :good:

Browsing around Amazon lead me to these: http://www.amazon.com/Bargains-0-18...49936069&sr=1-2&keywords=bargain+depot+stylus which looked like they were worth a shot, so I grabbed a 4-pack for $9, because math.

That's the model I chose. Works well, not too chunky at the tip, and priced right.
Did u end up getting lynteck fine point.
OK, so how do you guys carry the stylus on your tablet? I'm using the Samsung book case because I love the thinness and the way the flaps work. I bought the Large Pen Loop by Arune on Amazon and just don't like the way the stylus just flops around when it's in the loop. I'm thinking of some type of leather or plastic sleeve that can stick on the case and the stylus slides into it.
I thought that a stylus don't work on galaxy's tab s2 9.7 lte alias sm-t 815... yet I See that a metallic thing work as a pen... with a pencil it don't work... this only could work with Wacom displays and a magnetic overflow...I'm confused. ..
im using the 'amazon basic' stylus and it works great with my s2 8.0...
But this is not this what I mean... If u heave headphones so u should try to use the tap with the jack plug as a pen so the spen also should work... I try it tomorrow

Hey guys, I just got a pack of styli that I ordered from Amazon this AM (...) (here was a link that I can't repost because I'm a newbie ) which looked like they were worth a shot, so I grabbed a 4-pack for $9, because math.
So they just showed up about an hour ago, and I would definitely recommend them. The stylus itself has a bit of weight to it, so it feels like using a decent pen, and the tip feels like it's just the right size. In addition to a bag of extra tips that you can switch out if necessary, each has a cap also which I thought was a nice touch. So I'm not sure if this is what everyone's looking for, but if you want a comfortable/precise stylus you really can't go wrong here.

Thanks for the info Do your stylii deal with pressure sensitivity ? I plan on buying a Galaxy Tab S2 and use Medibang (drawing app) so I really need a stylus that recognizes pressure changes.
(sorry if my english was bad btw ^^)
is there a stylus bluetooth and an app with palm reject on s2 t815?
sorry for my bad english

You are never going to find a stylus for the Tab that will even approach the tip of the S Pen because the S Pen has nothing to do with the TouchScreen. The S Pen on the Note interacts with an electromagnetic screen placed behind the LCD screen in the Note. Tabs don't have that screen. Instead a stylus for a Tab depends on replacing the "capictance" of your finger with that of the stylus's rubber tip. Can't do that with a tiny tip.
However, if you read further down in this thread, you will find a stylus that does have a much smaller tip than normal. The only problem with them is that the tips must be replace every so often because their special capacitance quality "wears out" with use. Thus the replaceable tips that come with the stylus.

No, because the bluetooth receiver in the Tab would have no way to determine the exact position of the external bluetooth pen.
