Hi,
I Have to use sign in sheets whenever I visit a site at work. I have to get a time in and a signature. I'd rather do it all on the phone rather than carry a sheet of paper around. Can a stylus be used in word, or is there an app which will allow me to do this?
Someone must know if there is some kind of app that can do this. this would really help me out.
not a normal stylus
The normal stylus will not work. you would have to buy 1 like this: http://www.thepocketsolution.com/PSI-60807.html
The HD2 has a capasitive screen so the normal stylus will not work. And I dont believe u can draw in word however if you use the note pad you can do both type and draw.
Hi Everyone,
I just bought a brand new galaxy note 10.1 in India and i had high expectations from this tablet.
One of the prime reasons i decided on this was the s-pen.
After a day of use i noticed that the s-pen is not recognizing my hand motions on the screen at 2 points.
Has anyone faced this kind of issue with 10.1 till now?
Looking forward to your replies.
Thanks
Yeah the same has started to happen on.mine. Only some aps though, like lecture notes.
Directly under the camera for about 1/4 of the width of the screen the pen does not get recognized.

Yes i also observed the same position.Just below the front camera.
I also observed that the particular area gets a little hot if I am using wifi. Probably because the
antenna might be below that area.So i am thinking if this could be bcoz of magnetic fiedelity.
Request other users to please check for erratic s-pen tracking around the same position.
Samsung needs to fix this if its a design flaw as the s-pen is the key selling point for this tablet.
Thanks
l have problems with my S-Pen where some spots on the screen will not register correctly with light pressure, do that it will jutter arnoud the spot. As I want to use the note for draeing this isn't something I can just ignore.
Is anyone else having this? If yes or no please also state if you have the 3G or eifi only model.

I have the exact same problem and I'm using 3G version.
I was thinking to take my note 10.1 to warranty replacement.
Edit: also when using finger to draw, straight lines are inaccurate, see picture.

With your finger rhat is supposed to happen. Normal capacitive touchscreens aren't as accurate. The S-Pen is using different tech and is not communocating with your normal touchscreen. The pen should be pixel accurate.

That. Doesn't. Help. How hard is it.
I actually went back to the store and the show model and a new model which he got fresh out of the box for me all had the same issue. The Note 10.1 is a poorly made tablet. The pen should be pixel accurate, which it isn't. I actually got an ipad mini instead as Apple offers the best normal capacitive touchscreens on the market.
Hello my friends and welcome to samsung.
Here is how "well" the disgitisers of my note 10.1 N8000, grey, italian with 16GB + 3G, work.
FINGERTOUCH DIGITISER:
S-PEN DIGITISER:
I noticed the issue of the s-pen digitiser first, and just like you, went back to the store to check if the other notes they had there had the same issue. Result: all had the same issue. All in the same screen position. Knowing that the s-pen digitiser is very sensitive to electromagnetic field, and after watching this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUyI74c0DhE&feature=youtube_gdata_player I came to the conclusion that the issue is due to poor screening of the s-pen digitiser. In fact I bet that what we see is the field distortion caused by the electrical current flowing along the vertical battery wires running underneath the screen in that position. That's why the issue appears identical, at identical position on all the notes, because it is an hardware issue due to how badly this tablet was engineered.
The other issue, the one of the fingertouch digitiser, I have discovered it today, after having noticed that scrolling in my tablet was not uniform if i was sliding my finger slowly on the screen, and after having asked myself why so often I was missing to hit the virtual keys on the websites, even though I could swear to have tapped precisely in that position. Well... it appears that our nice friends at samsung equipped our beloved tablet with a digitiser with a ridicoluos resolution of around 40 x 25... (!!!!!!!) This means that we can forget forever precision touch input and smooth scrolling.
I was quite happy of this tablet when i bought it. Now I feel so pissed off that I would like to throw this piece of **** out of the window.
Another thing I noticed is that the Galaxy tab 2 10.1 of my friend does not have the fingertouch digitiser issue. Looks like in order to earn even more money than usual, samsung have introduced this feature into us starting from the latest, very acclaimed note 10.1....
wow....
kind regards, Luca.

now try that but slower and you'll see the squiggles
that's true!!!!! it's like if there's a magnetic interference along a diagonalline in the center of the screen, going from top-left to bottom-right
but only if you draw slowly on that points
Well, yes but not exactly. The inteference is vertical, and as I said, I bet my bullocks it's caused by the battery wires.
The resulting effect is just like when you put a paper sheet over a coin, and you scratch over it with a pen (never done it when you were a child?). As you know, you get the image of the coin underneath.
The "scratches" here are the oblique lines that we draw slowly, and the "coin" is the field distortion caused by the electrical current in one of the wires (of which there are four, but for one reason or another, one must cause more interference than the others).
This being a magnetic induction interference, it affects only the s-pen digitiser.
The issue of the capacitive, fingertouch digitiser (or whatever its name is, sorry but I am not native english), I guess is simply due to the fact that it has a very small resolution, due to samsung deliberately wanting to piss us off

So you're saying a fix would be to take apart the note and apply a better shielding to the battery and wires

Why would I do that if I want a straight line? Pen on paper it's the same, if you go slow enough you will not go straight...
I'm not arguing with anyone, you may be right regarding the interference, but I don't think this device was made to replace a dedicated pro digitizer.
And I did get the general impression that on other tablets the touch is a little more accurate than this one, just to be clear, I'm not saying that is the perfect tablet because I've got one lol. A used 3 tf700 for a week and the screen resolution and touch responsivnes are great, but otherwise is a P.O.S.
I think this note is a decent enough gadget for the price.

It also might not be the display itself. I got my S-Pen wet and when it dried it started to behave erratically. Sometimes it would work perfectly and other times it would be off from the position I had it placed on the screen. It was random. Replacing the pen fixed it.
Don't have this issue with pen or finger using Lecture Notes on Korean made GT-8013 bought from Amazon.
Has anyone used the S-Pen w/ eraser with the Note 8? What are your experiences w/ it? If no one has...I guess I don't mind being the first to try it out.
If someone out there has, please provide a link to where you got it? I read somewhere on amazon that the one amazon is selling just dies on the Note 8 and becomes dysfunctional.
Yes, the s-pen that is specced for the note 10.1 which is the 8pi width does work, and the eraser works too.
If you use 8pi in your search it should come up more easily in searches. Ignore that it says for 10.1 only...it works.

We can get the pen in the local electronic store Mediamarkt.
Or from some web shops http://geizhals.de/samsung-et-s200-stylus-a800120.html
The only web shop that delivers outside the EU is this one:
http://www.computeruniverse.net/en/products/90494136/samsung-et-s200-s-pen.asp
Someone wrote about an offset by about 5 pixel when using the "eraser" stylus, which apparently is quite a bit while drawing thin lines...
Is that Your experience aswell?
Thanks in advance,
Yoko
This works fine, especially liking the rubberized nib to give a bit of friction when drawing. I used it with painting with Adobe Touch:

I cant see the picture as im at work. will check it out tonight at home...
I've heard it both ways now then. A few people saying there is an offset which they have corrected for in software. Is this what you had done? Are you saying that there was no offset at all? Or was there an offset but it didnt effect your painting style as you got used to it?
There is an offset on my girlfriend original Note which I could get used to until i changed the orientation of the screen. Then it would completely throw me again. I was hoping this wouldnt be the case on the 8.0 with the 8pi.
I can see my self switching out the nib for the rubberized one as I like a bit of feed back.
Is the nib on the pen supplied changable?

There is no noticeable offset of the S Pen. I haven't experienced any difficulty. Here's my initial test with a demo unit:

Yes, the rubberized tip is supplied along with extras of the plastic one and with the pinch grab tool for the changing. Here is the retail content of the S Pen:

I'm the one who noticed an offset and corrects for it in Lecture Notes. Testing it in S Note, if you use the pen 90 degrees to the tablet, there is no offset. The offset appears to be related to how much of an angle you write with. Just received another pen, ( wacom bamboo feel) and I'm seeing the same behavior. Possibly worse in the Wacom pen, but it's too early to judge.

I believe the offset from the Bamboo Feel is due to the sensor being located at the base of the pen rather than in the nib. A longer nib will create a larger offset. You can try and remedy this by trimming the nib slightly so it sits closer to the base (just make sure it's still long enough to remove!). The S-Pen with eraser seems to be using the same sort of nibs as the Wacom pen, but I can't say for sure.

That's interesting and makes a lot of sense. The Bamboo Feel does have a slightly longer nib and does appear to have a little more of an offset. (I have set Lecture Notes to correct it by 10 pixels in both vertical and horizontal at the moment, vs the 5 pixels I have set for the 8pi in the vertical only. I need to try it over several days to confirm this setting, it may be slightly more or less in the end. )
I don't know if the materials of the two pen nibs are the same, but the nib from the 8pi is too short to use in the Wacom Bamboo Feel. I tried it and it was barely sticking out of the Bamboo pen. In fact it is so much shorter that you cannot remove it using the tools provided with either pen or a tweezer. I had to use a needle to get the nib back out. But shortening the Bamboo Feel nib to somewhere between the length of the 8pi nib and the Bamboo Feel nib would probably work. I'm not going to try that though since Lecture Notes compensates anyway.

So I found this on amazon- it's essentially a hollowed out "pen", where you toss the S-Pen into..though there's no eraser.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0076Z3GMG/ref=gno_cart_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Those who do have the one w/ the eraser, can you guys give me a link on amazon or ebay to the product you bought? I found multiple ones...I'm pretty they're all the same but I remember seeing one where one of the reviewers said it wasn't compatible w/ the note 8 and I don't wanna spend $30 for a useless pen.
Thanks for everyone's replies!

arent the s pens slightly different sizes depending on what note you have? if so, make sure that this is compatible with your particular note before purchasing...

SInce this link you quoted uses the actual S-Pen, I'd say that's not a problem. Also I have the larger S-Pen with the eraser from Samsung and it works the same on both my Note 2 and Note 8 with no offset.
The HP stylus that was for my Elitebook tablet works but with an offset.

Thats ok then. I had it in my head that the spens that were provided in the Note II, the 10.1 and the 8.0 were all slightly different in size and shape. The pen in my girlfriends Note seems smaller than the one provided with the 8.0 i tried instore. I didn't have her phone with me though to check.
Looks the offset is caused by writing / drawing angle. If you use the pen close to 90 degrees you wont notice any issues but as you increase the angle you increase the offset as the sensor isnt picking up the tip of the pen, rather further up.
Lol, I still can't decide if I want the stylus holder or the S-Pen w/ eraser. What do you think guys?
I ended up buying one, will definitely share my experiences with it when I have the time!

Didn't se eyour post but I had bought it separately from Amazon. The feel of the S Pen that came with Note 8 was far more superior. The one at Amazon hada sharper and harsher feel... I returned that one. Looks like that was really made when Tabs came out.
I will bite if a new one comes up which could fit the Note 8 S Pen.

That is correct, theone quoted is a set comes with a slightly different size pen.
But has no eraser and a bit inferior feel (IMHO only) on the screen.
I love the S-pen with eraser, although the pressure sensitivity isn't as good as the one that comes with the tablet. It still works perfectly for my needs and very convenient.
Hi everyone. I just sold my note 4 and bought a used note 5 from ebay. Seller described it as excellent and it really is but it has one major issue, the s pen is stuck. I can't remove it , it is not backwards, it is in the right position. Is there a easy way to fix it ? or should i send it back ?
Problem sovled, that bastard broke the s-pen clicking mechanism, i was able to remove the pen by using a needle. The pen works but the clicking part is broken, i wonder sometimes why people are so stupid .
