Samsung stylus works for me!
Sent from my GT-P6200 using Tapatalk
My wife and I are both using the Samsung conductive stylus.
She bought it for me for a gift and at first I was skeptical because I had not used one before. But I quickly adapted to it and now the stylus goes with me everywhere I go (it works great on my Atrix and the touch screens at work).
The stylus has greatly reduced the need to constantly wipe the screen of fingerprints, although the rubber tip does leave a barely noticeable smudge on occasion. I find that my accuracy is much improved, especially trying to click on tiny hot links.
Swiping is intuitive as well, but if you swipe too quickly it may skip. You also need to get a feel for how hard to press down on the tip. As far as using drawing or note taking apps, I don't use either, but I have done some scribbling and note writing as a test on the stock pen memo app that came with the tablet and the stylus seemed to work fine. Just don't expect razor sharp detail in your penmanship or artwork.
As I would expect from a Samsung product, the build quality is fantastic. The black and chrome finish looks classy and the stylus has a solid heft to it. The barrel is roughly the diameter of a regular writing instrument and has a very natural feel when held in my small/medium sized hand.
I'm actually considering getting two more so I can have one at home, at work and one in the car, so I'll always have one available. Yes I've forgotten to take it with me and went through withdrawal.
adonit jot pro.... it's amazing stylus for capacitive screen... works well on ipad and galaxy tab... i myself plan to buy one, but i can't buy it because i don't have credit card
How are these stylus (Samsung or Adonit) works on screen protector?
My past experience with the stylus on screen protector hasn't been very positive. The stylus is hard to move and lots of skipping.
Just wondering....

I'm using a China made stylus on my tab with a scratch proof screen protector. It works great although I need to apply just a little pressure sometimes...

I use a box wave stylus and it works great. I use it for drawing and playing games and it never missing a press. Very light pressure and it still works. They can be found on Amazon for an about 8 dollars.

Having trouble finding a stylus with a thin tip on it, all I can find are ones with the fat round tip. Trying to use a design program on tab and need precise selections with a stylus and the fat tips aren't cutting it.
Any input will be appreciated.

You might have a look at the Samsung stylus line; the tips appear to be smaller, though it might be their shape. The jot stylus uses a different type of nib altogether - worth ckecking out. And you might try an Amazon search for "brush stylus" and see what pops up. If, I'm not mistaken, capacitve styluses need to have big nibs to function properly. Mibs!

Thanks for that GB says, I'll look into and post back my findings. Thanks again for your input.

Take a look at the Adonit Jot. It has its own problems but it is the only capacitive stylus I have ever seen that doesn't use a fat, rubber tip. It is excellent for precise drawings.
Now just curious and I hope I'm not barging in on this but... Would a stylus with a thin point be better for use with screen protector? I have yet to find a stylus that claims it works fine with a screen protector
Let me edit this to be more clear: I'm trying to find a Stylus that works well with screen protectors. I have used a couple that my friends have but they all didn't work well. I want one that works well not crappy.
My bro is an art designer and he uses a Wacom stylus which has NO FRICTION, is capacitive and has a thiner point instead of all others
It's the WACOM BAMBOO STYLUS http://www.wacom.eu/index2.asp?pid=...utm_content=it&utm_campaign=bamboo_stylus_duo, check it out dude

I'd be curious what you think of the Jot. A review would be appreciated.
G.B. Says
And remember, talking dogs are liars.
From what I have found, the only type of stylus that will work with our tabs is a fat one or one with a conductive foam that mimics the finger. The thin smaller ones, like ones used for wacom tablets, use a different type of screen response altogether like the one found in the galaxy note or older palm pilots for example.
As far as working with a screen protector, it requires significantly more pressure and closer to a 90 or perpandicular angle for my griffin stylus to get picked up. Without the protector it works pretty well at most angles. This is only from personal experience with an armorsuit screen protector and a griffin stylus. I'm sure different combinations would produce varying results, but most likely similar to the point of frustration.
If you are looking to legitimately draw and illustrate I'd suggest sticking with a wacom. That's my preference at least.

I own the Jot and have used it on an iPad and an Asus Transformer. I also own an HP TM2 with a digitizer and a Wacom stylus. No capacitive only screen will be as acurate as a tablet with an active digitizer, such as my HP or a Galaxy Note. If you only have a capacitive screen the Jot differs in that it uses a small metal point surrounded by a clear plastic disc instead of a rubber tip, so it is much more precise than other capacitive styluses. However, although I haven't had problems, some people have had issues with the disc wearing out or have claimed that the tip scratched their screen. Just to be safe I only use it on gadgets with Gorilla glass. To sum up, for precise drawings its the best I've found for a capacitive screen, but if you plan on doing serious work get yourself a unit with an active digitizer - if you use a capacitive only screen like the iPad or 7 plus you're basically using finger paints.

I wanted to keep it on, but it wasn't on straight on my tablet and had one side slightly hanging over the edge creating an annoyance whenever I would hold the tablet. I thought about snipping off the edge with something sharp, but later decided to just yank the entire thing off.
I miss the feel of how it was with the plastic on. It felt a little bulkier and easier to hold one handed. The tablet now feels thinner. Also, my tablet slightly creaks now (it didn't before), so I wonder if the plastic increased the thickness which helped the tablet to stay sturdy? Or maybe creaks comes with more use.
If I got a new one, I would just snip off the edges.
Ok cool i removed it, thanks

I use the Xtreme guard body protector on mine, There was a coupon code you could use if you got 3 things - 80off3 - that I used to get my screen and body protector for the Note 10.1, SGS3 and Note. Fits well, feels good and protects the plastic backing. Don't need to put the screen guard on if you don't want to.
Using coupon reduced price from $90 to around $25...
Not sure if code is still good but you could at least try...:good::laugh:
ihave a targus for 9.99 and its unresponsive. the adonit jot pro is ok but a bit un responsive.

Sadly, any capacitive stylus isn't going to be very good for things like writing or drawing. I have a Caseen stylus that I use and do like, but really the only reason I bought it is because it triples as a flashlight and laser pointer.
For the Adonit, get some electrical conductive grease, take the disc off the end, add a tiny bit of grease to the ball, reassemble.
I also have a Caseen vibe and love it. The mesh in the end makes it glide easier than the rubber tipped ones.
I'm using a cheap one I bought on eBay lol. Got it got $0.50 but its been just as responsive as using my finger

Is there a pen that would work on Surface RT that isn't a spongy mess at the end?
I have two pens right now. One that has a disc on the end that only works when you place the pen perpendicular to the screen.
The other looks like a metallic crayon/pencil hybrid.
Both suck and I'm out $80.
Is there anything that would work for quick sketches and note taking?
That maybe has a hard tip and won't scratch up the screen?
Can the screen be scratched by any stylus anyway?
Thanks!
I have tried several cheaper pens with awful results. I can make a perfectly straight line with my finger but the pens make squiggly lines 95% of time. The cheap pens I have work fine on an iPad screen.
Would like to hear if anyone finds a suitable pen.

I ordered the Wacom Bamboo. I'll update once it comes in.
My Adonis jot works beautifully. Absolutely love it. Needed a bit of foil between the disk and Stylus to fix minor jumping

How!? As your pen work? I have a HTC Flyer and not working!
Want a pen that isn't spongey, wrap kitchen foil around a biro. Has a scratch risk though which is probably why that spongey rubber gets used all the time.
Also a Zippo lighter works which is just weird.

The stylus for the HTC flyer is an active digitiser pen not a capacitative pen as needed for the RT. Of course it wont work, although it might if you were to wrap tin/aluminium/whatever foil around it but then that might scratch your screen which is bad and that would also interfere with the coil in the tip of active pens hence preventing it from then working as anything more than a capacitative pen on the HTC.
Does anyone else here use the "Hidden" feature of the s5, where it can use various items as a stylus? If so what do you use? For example I have been using a #2 graphite pencil as a precise stylus with the snote app and it's pretty cool. I'm curious to find out if other XDA users use this feature because I just ditched my n3 after seeing and using it. Also as a side note I use the iloome flex and plastic body pens don't work. Metal body ones may scratch your screen protector because it might be a rough metal ball. I used a pencil after testing and they do not scratch the screen (it's graphite hardness of 1 ) so I scratched my screen protector avoid scratching yours if you are going to test. Mechanical pencils (metal body) of .9 thickness work but don't let the metal lead holder scratch your screen.
sweet drawings dude
I just got the Adonit Mini Jot in the mail a few days ago, I love it. Small, compact, only downside is the tip is so accurate it can snap off and be replaced and since its glass (see through) theyre hard to find. They do sell replacements though.

Have you tried a standard pencil with the s note app? I found that with the snote note app you can use any pencil or mostly metal object when it's in app. But if you turn on extra sensitivity you can use the metal objects / pencils anywhere in the ui. I find it intriguing that Samsung doesn't talk about this feature but it's amazing. In short if you want to use a pencil stylus anywhere in the phone turn on extra Sensitivity, but if you only want it for writing the s note app is free.

I used their stylus almost 2 years ago and a quick peek at their website recently shows they released a few new ones. Let me know what you think of the mini jot.
I completely agree. It may be my favorite S5 feature. I use a mini golf pencil and it works wonderfully. It is an amazing combination with the DraStic DS emulator.
I read about this when I first got the phone but wasn't sure about the pencil so I didn't even really try it.
Well, I just did...and holy crap. That works REALLY well. It struggles with my E's, T's and I's when writing but drawing is phenomenal.
Now I have a use for that mechanical pencil that's been sitting in my pen cup on my desk for years lol
Thanks OP
this is amazing.
now all I have to do is learn to draw

Glad you liked it
Just be a little wary of the lead holder tips. For example the zebra mechanical pencils as they can scratch the screen or screen protector. I have yet to find my co workers 1.1 mm thickness full metal mechanical pencil to use as a stylus.
Been messing around with a good, small solution and this is what I came up with. Bobby Pin + Butchered DS Stylus:
Plan to work on it a bit more to make a more elegant solution. Just make sure the blob at the bottom of the bobby pin fully covers the metal.
I use my Samsung C-Pen ... I have had it for years.

Do you still have a spare spen to test? I ask because I have a Ativ tab 7 with a spen and I was wondering if the nib was big enough to be recognized. I don't mean have a Wacom digitizer either, I just see others here are writing with pencils, so I was hoping it would be sensitive enough to recognize the nib of the spen too.
