S Pen vs Jot Pro

I am just curious about those who have used the Jot Pro stylus on a true HD tablet vs the S Pen on the GN 10.1. How is the responsiveness by comparison?
My guess would be that using a stylus on an HD tablet with a non Intel cpu would cause lag, but I'm just guessing. The ONLY thing I don't like about the Note 10.1 is the relatively weak resolution and I'm wondering if I could take notes just as well on a true HD Tablet with the Jot Pro?
Thanks.

This is off-topic but hopefully relevant and useful to you. I do not usually use my S-Pen on my Note II for note taking but the few times I have, I have used SketchBookMobile. It allows me to zoom in really close, zoom out, attach photographs (or change their opacity and use as the background. Very handy), use text, transform, resize and use layers. I have not found anything else that beats it.
Something else I do is to take notes with pen and paper and then photograph the result and send it to Dropbox. Always available
If you are looking to upgrade in the near future Wacom are said to be producing a tablet and pen combo for launch this year. It will probably be for professional artist and photographers and cost a small fortune but if money is no object it could be what you need.

I haven't used the jot pro on a 1080p tablet but had it for my transformer prime and it's horrible compared to the note 10.1. I think the main thing is capacitive touchscreen vs a digitizer.
It's been about 9 months but from what I can remember there was slightly more lag using the jot with the prime then using the spen on note.
No idea if an Intel chip would help.
For what it's worth I take great notes using lecture notes in landscape mode. Printed notes come out perfect just like the were handwritten.

jot pro
This is the best capacitive stylus available, but this means it only sucks a it less then the others. It's no comparison to the s pen. Im going to get a s pen full size soon .I love my wacom intros and wish the s pen was of that quality.

Thanks for the responses guys

The thing I don't like about Lecture notes is that my pen seems to lag a bit. Also miss the overall integration with the rest of the Note 10.1 ecosystem.

I thought you got rid of your note because the resolution was subpar?

I did but bought another one because I really needed the note taking ability for work. Decided the Note 8 was just going to be too small.
And yes, I'm fickle but I can afford to be

Lol was just curious. I love the note 10.1 for taking notes. The screen resolution doesn't bother me. I think Samsung could have done a lot better job of designing S-Note, as is I feel it's not as good as lecture notes. I use dropsync to keep it synced with Dropbox.
Was just curious when I saw you back over here.

Yeah I was pretty pumped for the Note 8 but then it was taking so long to release and I realized I really wanted a bigger tablet. Also my last one was gray. Always wanted white. I like it better.

Note 10.1 hand written notes? One Note?

Hello,
I currently have a Microsoft surface pro right now, and I use it mainly with one note to take hand-written notes. I was wondering how is the Note 10.1 for hand written notes? Is there a lot of input lag since its not a PC processor? Also how is the battery life.

Having used both, I prefer the Note for hand-written notes. There is no lag and there are several options to use. Unfortunately, the android version of one-note does not support hand-written notes so if you are a die-hard OneNote user, this will not for you.
As for battery power, I use my Note pretty much all day at work and at home and I typically get 1.75 days use out of it. At the end of the first day, I am typically at 69% and I usually turn it off or plug it in at 15-20% on the second day.

I had been using Onenote on a laptop and syncing via the MobileNoter app, but I no longer bother with Onenote at all now. I do any pdf annotation with Ezpdf and take notes with LectureNotes with handwriting recognition via the standard keyboard. Anynote seems like it might be decent too.

No lag with my note 10.1 model GT-N8013

Note 10.1 and Note 2 user here. Neither device suffers any lah whatsoever when it comes to pen input.

Since the tablets have about the same technical specifications but Android takes up alot less space and CPU than Windows I'm quite sure it's better. But if you'd like to try something else there's always Series 7 or whatever the Samsung 11-ish inch tablet with windows 8 is called.

Galaxy Tab 3 8 is the best feeling tablet.

Hi, just got the Tab 8 yesterday, while I was at bestbuy decideing which tablet to get, I compared all the tablets on display, and I have to say this is the best feeling tablet from all. Dont care about aluminum or some other crap. Samsung made the coating and the design beautiful. I think im becoming a samsung fanatic. Dont care about specs at this point the screen resolution its lower then Nexus 7 2013, but it is much better display with its color and brightness.

Why don't buy galaxy note 8, it is the same size and had an extra S-pen

I to love this tablet. It just feels right in my hands. I could have gotten the note 8 but have no use for the s pen. The resolution is lower than most tablets but it still wows me. I enjoy watching movies on it more than the full size ipad.
Just wish they would start carrying cases in stores and a root come out.

I got the 7 and I must say I like it allot. I upgraded from a kindle fire 2 just by chance when getting my new phone. I got it for 99 dollars and managed to get 2 S3's for free with a mobile hotspot for the wife.

Almost the same. But for a person looking for a quick media player, games, and browsing, tab 3 8.0 is a good deal. Both have same screen size. Only difference is the ram, processor and the pen. Also, the tab 3 is a big slimmer.

My current tablet is the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 Plus and got the "bug" to get a bigger and/or different tablet. I wish I would have just started with the Tab 3 8.0! On Monday, I got the Nook HD+ at Walmart. Meh... I liked the bigger screen but some of the apps that I use often weren't available for it via Google Play. I returned this on Tuesday morning. Over lunch on Tuesday, I went to a different Walmart and bought the newest Nexus 7. It just didn't trip my trigger AND the setup menu seemed to be missing things that I am used to on my 7+. I returned the Nexus 7 this morning and bought the Tab 3 8.0. Love it!
Walmart has a 15 day return policy on most electronics AND their accidental damage warranties are fairly in expensive. It covers cracked screens, etc. For the Nook HD+ it was only $15 and for the other two tablets it was $28 for TWO years. That's cheaper than Square Trade and a good coupon. (I only get accidental damage warranties on electronic things that could break easily - and I've used them a few times too from Square Trade... like my netbook and two Kindles.)
Anyhow, momma's happy.

Yep, the tab 8 feels better than the note 8 in the hands, and I don't need the silly s pen.
But the tab 3 8 is slower than the note. Has anyone spent spent time with each to figure out whether the performance difference is noticible for simple tasks like web browsing and reading forums?
Most important to me is smooth scrolling and non-ridiculous page loading. The note 8 is pretty decent (other than its occasional input freezes which I understand affect both).

Hi.
I was playing quite a bit with the Tab 3 0.8 in a store today, comparing it side by side with its more powerful and older ' cousin' the Note 8. I was mainly focusing on how both tablets performed when large pdf files stored on an exterior card were being loaded and manipulated with in the preinstalled pdf app.
In the process I noticed the occasional lag , sometimes rather long, on the part of the Tab when trying to auto rotate whatever pdf text was just being displayed. With an exterior card and large pdf files to load, Iunderstand, this could have been foreseen, given the less powerful processor and less RAM as compared to its 'cousin'.
What puzzled me, however, was that when I'd exit the pdf app and started playing with some other apps on the Tab 3, like the web browser, the photo app etc., I experienced the same auto rotation issues when sometimes an app would't effectively switch into the other mode at all!!
Now since I haven't noticed anyone complaining about this 'issue ' (if it is an issue) in the reviews' and comments' threads, I wonder if I happened to be playing with faulty device or my hands were to blame ? I don't really know.

I have had the note 8, the new nexus 7, and now the tab 3 8". To tell you the truth, I can't tell any difference in speed between the 3 tablets. If I still had all 3 tablets, and put them side by side then I might could see a small difference, but nothing major. I have had my tab 3 8" for 3 days now and I haven't noticed any slowness, freeze ups, or funky touchscreen issues like on the nexus 7 (2013). The nexus 7 has an awesome screen, but I couldn't type anything without having any ghost touches, and if I would lay it on the table then it would not register my touches at all. Bottom line is, the galaxy tab 3 8" is a very nice tablet. I would definitely recommend it.

I spent some time playing with both the Tab 3 8 and Note 8 side by side in best buy. At first my conclusion was that they were essentially the same speed. I could barely notice much difference when doing basic stuff, even when doing it in parallel. Given that I don't use the s-pen very often, I was very tempted go for the lower priced, lighter, and narrower Tab 3 8.
I did notice that the scrolling on the Tab 3 was maybe a little less smooth than the Note, but I wasn't sure if maybe I was just imagining it.
But then I loaded a very long web page on both; the Tab 3 got bogged down and the Note didn't. I was able to scroll smoothly on the Note where the Tab 3 was choking -- jerky scrolling and image loading was taking forever. I was hoping they were essentially identical performance wise for basic stuff, but I think the Note might indeed pull far ahead during more difficult tasks.
But does this really matter? How often will I load massive web pages? I really like the feel of the Tab 3 better. I'm going to go back and try again just to confirm. If for normal tasks the Tab is basically the same, I'd rather have the narrower form factor and the $100 in my pocket.

I am the guy who always has to have the newest and fastest phone and tablet out there. I know the note 8 should out perform the tab 3 8" because of the 4 core vs 2 core but I think you would be happy with the tab 3. I was worried about this tablet being slow but it turns out that there has been no noticeable lag in the 3 days that I've had it. When I was at Best Buy I played with both tablets just to make sure that I liked the tab 3, and I actually noticed more lag on the note 8. like I said before, the tab 3 8" seems to be a really nice tablet that is plenty fast. You could buy the tab 3 and try it for a few days and then take it back if you find that it lags. I think that you would be happy with this tablet.

Thanks all for review, i tested it in first day display in Samsung store, i hardly tell speed different with Note 8..
-IMO when play some heavy game i think Note 8 will be best choice, Note 8 it has better spec. but i still love design of Tab 8 slim and beautiful.
-I'm now chose between Tab 8, Note 8 And New Nexus 7. I own Nexus 7 but it's look so buggy. <<< this very hard choice, New Nexus 7 better spec but ugly design, Note 8 good spec just little more expensive than Tab 8 but design is little buggy. Tab 8 design is best from samsung..

A few more things I've noticed after using both side by side.
Speed: they're essentially the same until you do something where extra cores help (shocker!) The main scenario where I saw this happen was if you try to scroll or zoom while a page is still loading. The cores are busy loading stuff so the scroll / zoom is much choppier on the tab 3 8 than the note 8. But outside of that they're basically the same. My conclusion was that the tab was fine for me.
Comfort. The tab feels much smaller and is easier to hold one handed. The wide bezels on the note make it feel bulky. This prompted me to go buy the tab.
Typing. Upon opening it up and starting to use it, the first thing that stood out is that I type much worse on the tab! The wider note bezels actually put your hands in a better typing position, particularly when you're holding it vertically, which you don't do in the store.
I'm going to spend a few more days with the tab 3 and see if the typing grows on me... if not I'll be testing out whether my local office depot gives refunds for open tablets. Gulp.

I had many problems with this tab in the beginning. Slow response and typing. But now, everything is all good. Sure, I can use the speed and resolution of the nexus 7, buy that extra inch of screen and multi Window seal the deal!

Surface Pro Pen for Galaxy Note 4 (Old Cintiq Stylus Works Too)

Hey do any of you have a Surface Pro? Can you test out the stylus from your Surface Pro with the Samsung Galaxy Note 4? I read in the YouTube comments that it works for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 and even the eraser function on this 2003 Cintiq stylus works.

Pro 2 pen works, but definitely feels like plastic gliding on glass vs the S-Pen or Pro 3 pen feeling a bit more realistic. The eraser function works as far as actually erasing bits of a stroke and not an entire stroke. The button brings up air command. But the capacitive buttons do not work. The pen is also not calibrated properly because the "dot" appears slightly to the right of the pen tip (for righties) or to the left (for lefties).

We have bought 15...great systems. now that you know me you can change your statement and forget about media and marketing wars. I am using the pen right now. It's very bizarre since it works for clicks, it doesn't work on the keyboard nor on the S pen pad...

Interesting, I have a surface pro 1 and i'll test it later when I get home tonight. Funny thing, I know multiple people have surface pro as well. I know it's not selling like the iPad or android tablet but it's a full blown PC in tablet form. I guess microsoft is not marketing it well enough for people to mistaken as just a tablet.

I've got a Surface Pro 3 I use for work. As the IT manager, I could have gotten a tablet, laptop and desktop. I chose to just try the the Surface Pro 3 with docking station. I have two 27" Samsung monitors and the Surface works well as a desktop replacement with it's SSD's, i7 and 16GB of RAM. When I go to meetings I just rip the keyboard off and use it as a tablet.
My only complaint lies with Windows 8.1. What it doesn't do and what I hope Windows 10 does is to dynamically adjust my resolution depending if it's docked or not. 1920x1080 looks great on my 27" monitors, but on my 12" display I would need a magnifying glass. So I have to change rez when I undock. I hope the OS will become more aware of such things in the future.

My Wacom Intuos pen doesn't work though.

I have a SP1 that I bought used, for drawing, didn't come with a pen, and i've always used the one for my Note 10.1 with it.

My motioncomputing Wacom pen works in N4. Erasure works as well. Using Wacom and Note1 SPen on Note1, or Wacom and Note3 SPen on Note3 felt similar. But using the same Wacom and N4 SPen on Note4 is very different. First I realized I need to press little harder when using Wacom and the dot is not properly aligned. It must be that N4 SPen has better technology built in.

Do you plan to move to another big tablet (iPad PRO, Surface Pro 4 and Pixel C)?

Hello, when my Note PRO 12.2 works, it is quite useful. However, when it fails, it is very bad. One time I fully charged the device in the evening. In the middle of the day, it ran out of power. I could not take photo with a beautiful girl I met. Last week, when I asked somebody to take photo of me and a cute girl, the device rebooted again itself when the guy pressed the camera app button. I also failed to take a few important photos when this malfunction happened. Although somebody pointed out that this might be due to a loose connection problem, it seems to be software related. Why always the camera apps (one built in and another 3rd party)? It seems that when the apps tried to access the camera, the device rebooted.
Anyway, I am considering to move to another platform. How many of you plan to get an iPad PRO, Surface Pro 4 or Pixel C? Due to the camera-reboot issue, I consider to stay away from Android device. Don't know the battery consumption and actual weight of the iPad PRO and Surface Pro 4 yet. I do want cellar phone function and a stylus. Is the Surface Pro 4 my best bet?

It's not beyond the realm of possibility for the loose connection to be such that pushing power requirements beyond a certain point causes stability issues. Like Beut said in the other thread, you could always do a factory reset and then immediately test the camera to see if you regain stability in its use.
As for buying into another platform, you say that you want cell phone function . . Is that even possible with the other options? Highly unlikely with the iPad for sure . .

I don't think that there is any tablet in similar size that can compete with the note pro
Maybe some specs are outdated compares to others but it function very well for me
If they make a new note pro with an amoled screen then i might consider buying it or the samsung view 18.4" if it is released

Mine has never rebooted itself.
Which is a vast improvement over my previous Asus Transformer TF700T... That thing rebooted constantly. (It had some serious I/O issues. Update 3 apps at once and it reboots.).
At any rate, I will certainly consider a Surface Pro 4, on one very vital condition: That it has an Nvidia GPU, as opposed to that IntelHD piece of ****. Anything with an IntelHD isn't worth more than 5 quid.
Edit: The Surface Pro 4 comes with an IntelHD. I will not spend a single euro on such crap.

It seems that the Surface Pro 4 and Surface Note do not have LTE option

Mine too never rebooted, and it is rooted with lollipop. The only problems I had was a couple of reboot stuck at samsung logo while installing applications that required a reboot, such as AD-Away.
Problem solved long pressing the power button and then booting again.
Even the battery still gives me 10 full working hours.
So, I plan to use it until Samsung releases a new comparable device.
A second one, not rooted, as it is in the hands of my daughter and the rest of the family, performs equally well.
SM-P905

I'll wait for the next Android of a similar or larger size device.
Surface Pro 4 is too expensive and Windows applications (and many of it's internal components) do not scale well at high DPI. I had the Yoga Pro 3 (3200x1800) and returned it due to it's bad scaling. I got a laptop in exchange at 17.3" at 1920x1080 and still scaling is bad (not as bad). Windows 8.1/10 at high DPI is not as near as good as Android. So no Windows tablet for me, thank you.
iPad is too closed of a system for me, even for multimedia consumption everything has to go through iTunes, so no.
Pixel C, although a good idea with stock Android is too small compared to NotePRO 12.2, so no.
I' d love a "Pixel C" type of tablet at 12.2" with stock Android for smoothness and fast updates. If you come across one drop me a line.
My current tablet is the SM-P905, Lollipop, rooted (never had blue screens, never had reboots)

Windows tablets are better at productivity and Android tablets are better for consumption. Android fakes productivity way better than Windows tablets fake consumption. With 12" tablets being made chic by Apple it proves the Note 12 was ahead of its time. For me, there's no reason to go anywhere else. With the Pixel C there may be some developer interest in building more/better Android productivity apps that'll only benefit us.

I wanted the surface but battery life and lack of lte are holding me back. I have the 907a.
I was praying that the surface would have at least 10 hours.
I still have hope that Samsung will announce something between 12-13 inches with decent specs and battery life, as dell failed to impress.

Yeah I'm getting a surface pro 4. I'm going to use it mostly for photo and video editing. My note can process raw files OK with photometers r2 but it drains the battery very quickly. Would rather have the fully powered and featured windows machine. Plus I'll run something like bluestockings if I need a few android apps. Not that I use many apps anyways. Mostly lecture notes and the browser.
I'll keep my note pro though. Still trying to get the thing to work properly though....

Just picked up an i7 Surface Pro 4 to replace my Note 12.2.

I have been looking for a replacement for mine (lte on Verizon) because of the poor battery life I have been getting. I need it to last all day. The problem I've found is that there still isn't anything that would be an "upgrade" that would be worth buying. I think I just need to doggie out my battery issue for now.

I chose the GN Pro 12.2 because it was 12.2" with Android.
I need Android (I play on a game which is only available on Android) and I need a 12,2" screen (I read comics).
Surface is Windows
Ipad is IOS
Pixel c is Android but 10,2" so too small.
And because I got many issues with Samsung devices (Tablet, TV, smartphone, etc...), I will never buy any other Samsung devices.
If you got something else, than the proposed tablet, it would be interesting to share.

I need Android (I play on a game which is only available on Android) and I need a 12,2" screen (I read comics).
Surface is Windows
Ipad is IOS
Pixel c is Android but 10,2" so too small.
And because I got many issues with Samsung devices (Tablet, TV, smartphone, etc...), I will never buy any other Samsung devices.
If you got something else, than the proposed tablet, it would be interesting to share.

I have had the note pro 12.3
2 since it came out. As a digital artist it was the best for me. Always being an android lover I stayed away until 3 weeks ago and several months of searching and trying Android and windows tablets and 2 in 1's. It really sucks that android did not continue with evolving the note pro 12.2. Finally after much internal torture I bought the iPad pro 12.9 gen 3 tablet and the Apple pencil. All I can say is wow! Now I'm not going to become an apple convert because I love my note 8 (have no desire to upgrade at this time). But the tablet is phenomenal for digital art and all the basic stuff I used to do on my note pro. The only thing I can't stand on the iPad is the file management system. It's like your personal files are top secret. Android is light-years ahead in that aspect. If Samsung decides to put out a larger more powerful tablet I may go back to Android tablets. I absolutely loved infinite painter. It just blows my mind that they don't even try to compete with apple in the tablet world... But maybe that says something about apple's tablets.

I am not an Apple fan, but I did have an iPad Pro 12.2 LTE with 128 GB. It was a very nice and usable device.
I did not play games on it. I mostly read books, news articles and watched videos. It even had split screen which was nice. Long battery life. I was part of Apple's beta group which got new iOS operating systems before the general public. I never had an issue with the iPad. I am a Samsung devotee. Even though Samsung is terrible at updates and supporting older devices, I still love their products. My Note FE is great. I also do android development, so my Note FE and other devices have custom ROMs. If Apple would install android on their hardware, I would buy in a heartbeat. Or, if they had a developers version of their devices (unlocked, jail broken), I would buy.
