Anyone?

most capacitive screen styli ive seen have quite a big area rather than a pointy tip, and ones i've tested were shocking (with the foam tip) not sure about others they look like they would scratch the screen tbh! and probably wouldn't be all that accurate.
just my opinion.

the jot brand stylus is the only one I know about

I've heard that the Wacom one is the best, although mainly for tablets so may be a bit awkward on the DHD. Two of my friends use them on their iPads and they work great on those.

Artist Tablet

My gf is an artist and she is interested in buying an Android tablet (10") with a stylus. Do you guys have any suggestions on what kind she should get?
I was looking at the Lenovo ones but I don't know if they are any good.

I'm not sure but I thought Samsung was working on a 10in Note which would have a stylus. As far as accuracy with the pen I'm unsure.

S-Pen

Hi guys. I use to have a galaxy note and I really enjoyed the S-Pen for its dawing abilities
i asked Samsung on twitter where I could buy a S pen for my S4 and they said its only for the note so I couldn't buy it..
do you know if the S-Pen works on the S4 & where I can order it?
big thanks!

S-pen does not work with the s4, you could try the c-pen samsung sells

Thanks, have you ever used the C-Pen? Seems to be much bigger than the S-Pen.

Yes, it feels like a full sized pen

Best buy sells OE replacement S-pens.
Now, I thought I saw video of some guy using a stylus on his S4 but maybe I'm mistaken.

My wife has a Note 2, spen from her note does not work on my Galaxy S4.
However I bought this:

I was killing some time last week at a Best Buy near a restaurant I was waiting on my wife to meet me at. They had just opened up their Samsung section in this location and I haven't been in a Best Buy in some time and decided to check it out.
They had the Note 2 and the 1st thing I did after trying the s pen was see if it worked on my S4 and it did not. Was kind of disappointed as the feel of the s pen on the Note was pretty amazing.

Yeah, and I just got a tweet from Samsung Belgium. they say the C-pen that was made for the S3 also isn't compatible with the S4 and that there's no stylus that Samsung made that is compatible with the S4... That's kinda dissapointing because I do want to draw on my S4, like I did on my old Note..
So any stylus suggestions are welcome ( and I did like the tiny size of the S-pen a lot.. )
thanks! :laugh:

The spen requires a dedicated digitizer on the screen. We don't have that, you can only use capacitive stylus types and trust me they suck.
Oh and you'll never be able to use them for pressure sensitivity like the spen..

The cpen works fine, kinda weird they would say that. You can even use the capacitive buttons

What's even more odd than them saying they don't support the C or S Pens, is that I've just discovered settings hidden in the S4 specifically for the S Pen.
I was using the app ''QuickShortcutMaker" to see if it was possible to access the call blocking settings that Verizon hid... When lo and behold there they were.
I've spent the last hour online trying to figure out if the S4 supports it but it obviously doesn't.
Extra lame since the settings are there!!

Worth buying it now?

Hey guys!
Is it worth buying the sw2 now? I heard that it had some issues at release with the button on the side and the stability of the firmware. Did it improve in newer firmwares? Is it worth using it with the xzu for quick replying on whatsapp ? Is a sw3 planned? I would appreciate any help. Thanks guys ! I am not sure if I should buy one but actually I really would like to. Just want to be 100% sure if its worth.

I'm planning to buy this smartwatch too and chose this one over android wear because it's just so awkward to talk to your watch lol but the question is where do I buy it... Bestbuy suddenly says this item can no longer be shipped to stores on every single store and I can't really find any other stores that sell it :/

I think i am going to buy it on amazon or eBay. Depends on the price.
Sent from my Xperia Z Ultra using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I have 2 of these Sony's and as much as they have niggles (hardware and software) they only cost £70 each. I couldn't resist the Android Wear so purchased the LG G Watch for more than the price of both Sonys. The LG is going back to Google.
Pro's and Con's of all these devices so only you can decide what's right for you.
But until the beautiful Moto 360 is out, the Sony will be my choice of wrist gadget.

Yes, specially i think most shops around the world they dropped the price of Sony Smartwatch 2, It may not be the coolest and latest watch to date but it got a lot of available apps, better battery life than any smartwatch out there(except Pebble), Design is one among the best,
All of Android Wear LG G Watch and Gear Live(and maybe Moto 360) they don't last more than 1 day, and both of them require lots of swiping to do something.

I think I am going to Buy it next week. Very excited!

I got mine already and it is amazing!! The funny thing is that I went to a random bestbuy store in a random mall and I asked a random person and she was like: oh a Sony smartwatch? We have those right over there! Then I went there and was shocked when I saw that there was only 1 left and it was in the right color and had a metal band xD still can't believe it lol!

I saw that the one with silicon band costs about 100 euro here. But the one with metal band costs about 170-180 euro. That's such a big difference.

Please don't buy this watch i've Sony SW2 and also Samsung Galaxy Gear. Absolutely i can say real SMART watch is Galaxy Gear, SW2's only name called SMART actually its totally dumb, if buy SW2 you got only some changeable wallpaper and watch face. But If buy Gear (not Gear 2) you will got real smart watch, you can develop android apps and you can run apps without phone. SW2, except some very limited things nothing can do without smart phone, because all apps installing and running on the phone. But with Galaxy Gear, you can transfer APK files directly to watch and you can run this APPs on the watch without phone. With Gear you can develope android apps and install them on Gear directly.

If you were SMART enough you would've read the bottom line of his post and you would know that he has a xperia z and not a Samsung device so a galaxy gear ain't gonna work
AND pretty much all galaxy gears get sold with the tizen OS on it and that can't do the things you mention and of course you can spend your time on downgrading the watch to android but again something like a watch should work out of the box
