Using a stylus with the Epic? - Epic 4G Accessories

Hi all,
After playing with a Galaxy Note, I've gotten reminiscent about using a stylus from the Touch Pro 2 days. My question is: Has anyone used a stylus for the Epic? Are there any out there anyone can recommend? I realize it's not going to have the same interactive experience as the Note, I just want something to play around with. Thanks!

should work i've used other things some things wont work not exactly which one but. lol my car charger top pin makes my screen move if i use that haha

It would have to produce some kind of static from the tip. Either on it's own or derived from your skin and transmitted through the stylus to the tip. Our screen is capacitive and reacts from the electrical charge of our skin. The galaxy note was specifically designed for a stylus through the screen hardware and the type of stylus used. I'm not 100% that there are styluses that will work with our phones but I would assume so as the concept doesn't seem too difficult. I've never looked into it before. I'll do a Google search and see what comes out of it.

I love how it says for Epic 4g Galaxy S then they show a pic of an Iphone. Cool that they exist though. I might just get one, especially at 1 penny? Seriously? I hope it actually works.

If you have the aluminum stylus with the black tip it works with the electrostatic screens.

Just found out Radio Shack sells one that works with any capacitive touchscreen device and is $15. A little pricey but I confirmed today that it works and it's a very nice quality stylus. Very soft rubber tip, strong aluminum casing, very light.

I use one that can be found on amazon if you look up "stylus laser" its the first one that comes up. I got it mainly for my tablet but it works as well on my phone.

I sometimes use the back end of a 1960's papermate profile. It has a nice springy feel to it. Plus I like to use antique pens.

So I bought this one off amazon..
GTMax Touch Screen Stylus Pen (Black + Red + Silver) for Samsung Galaxy S2 / Epic 4G CDMA Cellphone
Been using this so far for about a week and its been great. No qualms with this at all and it was only $2.40 total, including shipping. Granted, the price has gone up about $.50 since I purchased (now its $2.40, when I purchased it was $1.90+$0.50 shipping).

If I may ask/suggest why you are using screws in the construct? Try to use wood glue or wooden dowels to avoid the screws getting in your way later.

@deliriousdroid: That looks nice, what kind of wood is it? Is it designed to work in both portrait and landscape mode?
I've got the ~$20 plastic dock that has the built-in spare battery charger in the back, but today, in my office, I had my car setup (Arkon) on my desk using the bean bag/friction mount. I really liked the fact that I could flip it from portrait to landscape, and adjust the angle, etc. I may have to try and combine the two...
Wow I love the grain in that wood. Very nice.

On my next dock, I am planning on buying a cable specifically for the project and in the side of the dock, have another strip of wood, make a hole the right size and glue it in. Currently I am just plugging my phone in for the night, hitting a app that keeps my screen on and leaving it on my home screen.
By the way, do you think there would be any demand for high end custom made phone docks?

I just broke mine recently too, I ordered a white replacement digitizer on ebay, originally thought I would receive the whole assembly as most are advertised with the housing that has volume /power buttons, I got just the screen still easy fix though it required some tough gloves and a screwdriver to break all the old digitizer out and some impact proof superglue to put old one in though it worked, and now i have a black and white g2x its quite nice here's a link to a video on how to replace it.
I would recommend for ease of replacement to get a black one with the housing (volume and power buttons) attached. much much easier to replace.

dude, that's seriously sick. is your battery door still that weird brown color? i found one white digitizer on ebay for $78. is that what you paid?
I sent mine to LG (well, Stellar Wireless) after I dropped it, and they swapped it out for me for $40. Unfortunately, the one they sent me had non0functioning 4G and GPS, so I had to send it back in and I'm waiting for my replacement to be returned to me.
I ordered the digitizer from eBay. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to replace

So i wanna see what happen to you if the phone looks like that. Dang man thats bad about the phone but its fix able. Unless you want to sell the phone to me for $50 ill take her off your hands
My new digitizer should be here in a couple days, seems a whole lot easier to repair than my last phone, so I will update on how it goes. My biggest thought is about getting dust or anything between the LCD and digitizer. :/
looks like a nasty fall did you have a screen protector on it or even a case? or were you rocking the naked look? just curious
Naked of course lol I don't think anything would've protected it tbh

Exactly what I'm thinking. Haven't found anywhere online with them in stock though. Amazon, T-Mobile, and AT&T all list it as backordered or something similar. My corporate discount gets 25% off at Verizon, but they only have the flat one right now, sadly.

im wondering if maybe using a high power (2-3 amp) USB adapter would make a difference.. like the ipad charger
amperage too low?
I'm hardly an engineer, but the specs say the DT-900 is only 300ma. Maybe that's causing the problem with the N4.
I tired both the Nokia puck and the JBL speakers in a Verizon store. Both had the infamous charging/not charging problem.
It's a no-go for either I'm afraid. I can assume the same for the Fatboy pillow too...

The charger works perfectly fine, you just have to make sure that the nexus 4 isn't sliding off because of the glass back. That'd what was causing it to connect/disconnect for me. Works great after I just put a piece of microfiber cloth on it before laying the phone down.

I've seen it mentioned that the reliability of the charging depends on whether NFC is turned on or off. Think it was mentioned by someone on Engadget. Not sure how that would affect the Qi charging, but worth a shot I suppose.

Guys, it very may work for Droidz, if you read The Verge's report you will notice that the charging issue seems to not affect ALL Nexus 4's, read below is an excerpt from The Verge's article
""The Nexus 4 and the Nokia DT-900 are supposed to properly work together," says Menno Treffers, chairman of the Wireless Power Consortium. Indeed, not everyone is having trouble pairing the Nexus 4 to the DT-900: Engadget reported success, for instance. But a single bad experience instills doubt in a standard that needs as much traction as it can get early on in the game."

I understand the Nexus 4 uses this chip, and the datasheet is here.
So, the receiver is about 90% efficient when charging. I am not sure, but as this is a charge controller too I think that quoted efficiency from page 12 is for the DC provided to the battery. This is quite good as obviously a non-wireless charge controller phone would have some losses when charging a battery.
I presume that by AC they mean from the wireless antenna rather than mains, so you would have to include the waste in the plug/transmitter too.
Edit: It looks like most of the losses are in the transmission, as the efficiency there is much lower. In that datasheet it suggests more like 72-74% maximum, which is about right if the manufacturers quote 70%.
Check this one out guys. Looks quite nice and seems to have a rubbery surface to prevent the phone from slipping.
http://www.philips.co.uk/c/cell-phone-accessories/dlp7210b_10/prd/
They sell it on amazon.de but don't seem to ship to Denmark
Found it on ebay for £37 here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Philips-D...degeräte_Dockingstationen&hash=item27cce3049d

Hey, I have received an Energizer mat and can confirm that it does indeed work with no hiccups. Only problem is that the glass back makes the phone very slippery on the matte-like finish on the Mat. Until I figure out a way to make it stay it's pretty much a nuisance and not usable.

With the announcement of the new Incipio car dock I thought I would share the dock that I made and have been using for the last month or so.

It is a 3D printed slate of plastic with a Ram Mount ball attached which then attaches to an insert I built for the storage bin underneath the aftermarket receiver in my truck. I was using Automate till Android Auto was released just recently. AA is setup to start automagically when it connects to the Bluetooth in my truck. So far it has been vary reliable. Its a good setup.
I disassembled the Style Shell that came with the phone to determine how it was put together. Turns out it is a simple slab of plastic with metal cups that the magnets sit in and is then covered by a thick layer of vinyl. I then traced the shell and scanned the drawing. Using a Solid Edge (free for students, or at least those that still have there student emails still) I created a 3D model from the scanned trace. I used vernier calipers to verify the dimensions from several angles
I then got on www.3dhubs.com and found a local guy to print it. It only cost $16 to print. I had to ream out all of the holes. Everything was centered perfectly though. I think that is because the plastic was pretty thick.
I simply glued in the super strong magnets and screwed on the Ram Mount ball. I bought the magnets off Amazon from Zafos. Unfortunately they don't sell them anymore.
Here are some more pictures of the my setup.
Very nice!!

It's over my head. I've studied the Moto Mods documentation and can't make much sense of it.

It was in the very first sentence. 7 words in. All one would have to do to see it is start reading the post. It was late and I simply couldn't help myself. And I was quite nice about it actually. I could have rudely pointed out that your reading skills needed work or something like that. I would have ignored it had your post been at all useful. Links with no note or explanation are extremely annoying. No one wants to guess the purpose of a link by what the page address says.
Good day.

Anyone can get the file from the link below. I've included the .par file so you can open it and edit in in Solid Edge. Note that the after printing, the holes on the original dock were slightly too small for the camera bump and the magnets. The holes on version 2 are a bit larger to compensate for that. I havent printed or tested it though.
