Stylus functionality for S7? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I want to use a stylus with my SGS7, so I'm wondering if anyone's done it yet. If so, how well/not well does it work? I've also read around that the S7/Edge shipped with S Note, but I don't think that's right.
Second question: Anyone have a good stylus they could recommend?

Any capacitive stylus should work. I'm using a jotit (?) fine point stylus and it works ok. It has to be used with an app that supports it (e.g. S-Memo). It takes a fair amount of pressure.

Update - Adonit jot pro is what I have. Works fine.

I posted S-Memo as an app that works with a stylus. I meant S-Note.

Im using an otterbox and it seems to provide alot of protection
If you want the most heavy duty case I dare you to spray down an ottrrbox or uag case with that tough coat of bedliner spray they use for pickup trucks.
You will have prob have the sickest case out there
So you link us to a website that doesn't sell s4 cases? You trying to piss people off?

ive had this case now for like a month and even tho its very bulky gosh darn does it get the job done. i work in a warehouse type deal and it has all cement floors ive dropped this phone say... maybe 5 times from chest height and im 6 foot this thing just bounces around cause of the rubber corners and you dont even hear it fall. its a great case i do hate the built in screen protector that kinda like the otterbox one just take it off, its also a little harder to use the pulldown menu with the little part along the top. tough as nailsss

is it worth it getting Tapatalk 4 for $0.99?

Got email from tapatalk saying special for this week only, tapatalk 4 for $0.99.
Is it worth it getting the tapatalk 4? How much better is it better than tapatalk 2 I'm already on?
And what happened to tapatalk 3 by the way?
I prefer tapatalk 4 because I find it is cleaner and easier to use compared to tapatalk 2. Plus for $0.99, may as well get it because it will never be cheaper than that.

It is. The UI is very clean because it follows the holo guidelines/style. The menus are also better organized. Besides it has push notifications, which save some battery. I did not buy tapatalk 2 because it was ugly, but I bought tapatalk 4 after trying the many betas.
But why would they make you buy a new one every time they update their interface? I thought that was part of app development .. You don't see other major apps asking you to purchase a new app just because they wanted to make their apps better

HDMI Out ... ??

I admit I didnt search for too long..
But does the V10 support Video Out? Either with an mHL Adaptor or HDMI or any other means? My previous device used mHL and it worked great.
Any info would be great.
TIA

It did not work with my mhl adapter. Mine is the Samsung one so that might be why, but I'm not sure.

Did a quick search, and it supports up to 4k out via a slimport adapter.

Don't think there's more than one type as I think it's a standard. At least they're on the inexpensive side. [emoji1]

I've also been searching for this answer. MHL doesn't work. Slimportconnect just added the V10 to the list, so it should work. However there are many different brands, most with spotty reviews. Would love to hear from someone who has had success with the V10 specifically and with what brand.

This is the one I got to hook up to my cars radio (I can watch netflix on the big screen now, haha!) - http://www.amazon.com/Analogix-Semi...zon+Fire,+Blackberry+Passport,+Nexus+5,+LG+G3
It works with no issues so far....
I've used right now my SlimPort that worked with my historical LG G2.
worked fine, charging my phone, audio and video through HDMI.
Awesome, thanks info. I find screen mirroring with the chromecast works awesome, but not for games.

I just bought this SlimPort adapter from Analogix. It's a new model, comes with a remote and explicitly supports 4K. It's called the Nano.Console. http://www.nanoconsole.com It's just coming off of an Indiegogo campaign (still sold through Indiegogo for now). Looks very promising. Compatible with the LG V10. I'm waiting to receive the unit (ordered yesterday).

Will do. Shipping is a bit slow. It's shipping from California and I'm in Arizona. Their customer service says they ship within 2 weeks. It should ship some time this week, since I bought it on the 19th.
Unsure whether anyone wants another report on this, but I'm able to confirm success with this. Officially the standard is "MyDP", but they're better known as "Slimport". Thankfully the adapters aren't too expensive, such as this one for $15: Unitek (NewEgg)
It works fine without power (micro-USB) plugged in. With power plugged in it can in fact charge mine. Problem is you really need a USB cable with thick wires, otherwise there is barely enough power to keep the V10 at its existing power level. Either way I can confirm video out is useable on an LG V10.
Apparently if you've got a device with USB-C you can use video out and at the same time have a computer talking to your phone via `adb`. Sigh, one more extra feature people who could wait a year got.
Hmm, I've noticed more recently the device has been acting a bit flaky. Not a super big deal, but enough to be an annoyance. Might be it doesn't like being powered on so long or could be it is only good enough to last 3-6 months.

What are the 6 free games that come with the Gear VR when you preorder?

Hey Guys,
I already pre-ordered the Galaxy S7 and I cannot wait to play with it!
As you may know, if you preorder the Galaxy S7, you can also get the Gear VR free with it with 6 free games...
So, to those of you who have got the S7 early with the Gear VR headset, can you tell me what those 6 free games are?
Thank you
GearVR rebate online page just went live today, so I doubt anyone's receiving it anytime soon. Says 4-6 weeks to get it.
https://www.oculus.com/en-us/blog/s...oculus-now-bundled-with-galaxy-s7-pre-orders/
mentions EVE: Gunjack, Land’s End, and Anshar Wars 2. Says varies by carrier.

That's a helpful list but are those the only ones that will work with the gear VR? The ones they suggest are like $60 compared to some that are $15
Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk
You'll be lucky to get the Sammy one on the list as I don't think they make it any more... They are probably working on a new one if the whole VR thing takes off. I'd guess the freebie games won't need controllers to play (controls are on site of headset) BUT having a controller is definitely worth it if you wanna go and buy some of the other games available. I've got a cheapskate mate who went with some cheap option and couldn't get it to work so be careful if you pick something not on that list

move with finger from top left corner obliquely to bottom right corner and window will be smaller. In S6 it's look a little bit different, but I think it;s same what you want to get.
