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.

Surface pro 2 pens work as they use wacom feel tech, sp3 pens will NOT work.

Man, completely different experience here. I know 8 people that have surface 3 pro, and 3-4 that have surface 1 pro.
Basically everyone I know that is into 'thin' laptops, and not a Mac user, has a surface pro 3.

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.
Hi everyone,
i want to ask some question about s pen.
is it possible to use note 4 s pen with note pro for more sensitive,
is Advanced s pen works with note pro
finally
What can we do for more sensitive ?
thanks for your answers.
It's basically the same pen. I've used my Note 4 spen a few times while taking extended notes on my tablet, I honestly don't think their is a difference. It's the wacom hardware in the device that is responsible for most, if not all, functionality.
In summary ... yes the note 4 pen works, no its not any better
The increased sensitivity of the Note 4 lies in the number of pressure points the sensor in the screen can detect, not in the pen itself. You can use any Spen with it, but it won't increase the sensitivity.
As for increasing the sensitivity, you'll need to change the potentiometer. Follow the guide here (Ignore the offset dial): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54772260&postcount=18
All the premade spens will work work other note device, ie;I'm using my note 3 pen with my note 4and it works rather well if not exactly the same. ..it's the software that controls the pressure and poem points etc etc. ..
Hope that helps?

If you have cracked your screen on any phone, please post here if the touchscreen was still fully functional or only partially/completely nonresponsive.
There is different ways touchscreens are built, some will completely stop working with even the smallest crack, requiring a very expensive repair, whereas others are not affected.
This will help people make purchasing decisions based on the durability of the screen. If you have a phone in the bottom list, it is highly recommended to use a tempered glass screen protector.

This is pointless. You need to understand how touchscreens are put together.
The first layer is the glass. This is also the digitizer, which recognizes touches. This can be cracked, broken, shattered, etc, and still function.
Under the digitizer is the display. TFT, LCD, AMOLED, whatever. Obviously, a broken screen can damage the display. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
Whether or not the touchscreen still works after taking damage has nothing to do with the brand or model of the phone or the technology behind the display. It's only the degree of damage that applies.

This just isn't true I'm afraid. I've seen completely smashed phones with working touchscreens, but one tiny crack on other phones will render the screen useless.
If you have ever repaired phones you will know about the different constructions. Some have the digitizer bonded to the front glass which will either become partially working or completely nonfunctional after any damage to the glass. Others have the digitizer on its own separate glass layer on the lcd. This can survive much more damage as the front glass protects it.

Thanks. That's the good thing about phones constructed this way, they can still be used for a long time and survive repeated accidents without having to pay for a full screen replacement each time.

Bump, anyone cracked their s6 yet?

The galaxy s4 of my friend had a significant cracks but except for the hassle of cracks the device works fine.
Updated with LG G4. Finally LG have used a more durable display which won't turn your phone into a brick if glass gets cracked.
My friends Nokia Lumia 920 had lot of cracks but still works like a charm.. They build such amazing quality phones

Superficial cracks on touch screens with protective film on outer layer survives most of the time than exposed, unprotected digitizers... so its best to have your beloved phones protected with anything that can lessen shock on its panels. Having a cracked TS is better than a cracked LCD's....

My S4 mini is also still working. I would like to know if the new huawei p8 is so too...
Updated.
i think this depend a lot of how the phone was dropped,on which surface and a lot of more things...my opinion is that the gorilla glass is the safest protector of the touchscreen.
Huawei ascend g630 worked fine after the screen shattered
Past two years I've been through several phones.
Galaxy S4 - completely shattered, dropped hard several times after the fact... Dropped it in a mop bucket full of water. Still working.
LG Optimus G, dropped and shattered... Dropped again a few days later and it stopped working though the display still worked
LG G2
Galaxy S5 fell 10 feet off my deck and shattered. Still worked.

Note 3

I really should start using cases. Probably won't be too long before I shatter the Note 5, stayed tuned.

Hey all. Have anybody experiences with the Note 5 Spen on the Note 4?
Thx
I don't think so. Besides even if it did work where are you gonna put it? I don't believe it'll fit inside the holder.
This isn't an answer to the question in the OP, but a personal observation that may help (?).
I have both the Note 4 (obviously) and a Note 10.1 2014 edition tablet. The tablet is older than the Note 4, and it's s pen works on my Note 4. However, the Note 4's s pen won't work at all on my tablet. I can't tap, scroll, or even use the button.
So my assumption is that older s pens can work on newer devices (+/- accuracy or something), but newer s pens won't work on older devices.

Well, I don't want to derail this thread, but it's odd that my Note 4 s pen doesn't work on my tablet running stock 4.4.2 (There's no update for the p600 model).
Edit.
Looks like if you have "Disable Pen Detection" unchecked on your table's settings, then the Note 4's S pen works. I've always kept this option checked, which makes the N4 S pen not work.
So I change my initial asdumption. Any S pen should work as long as you uncheck "Turn Off Pen Detection" on your phone's settings.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using Tapatalk
The touch part and button work, but I don't think it'll fit properly in the note 4. I didn't cram the s pen in the slot and stopped as soon as I felt resistance. It's not really locked in place and can fall out easily. Maybe you are braver than I and try to push it in deeper. Also, the phone didn't recognize the note 5 pen being inserted.
I hope it will it looks awesome and I think it feels awesome, too. I hope so ^^
it don't looks like to so much differences.. I think the biggest difference are at the touch part or the beginning. the length is the same.
..
here the bottom part
What does not fit is made to fit
I will make some pictures when it does arrive and show you the results
They don't have the same body shape. They are both rectangular with rounded corners, but the note 5's pen is more rounded and I think a little slimmer. It is looser in the Note 4 slot. The Note 4's pen doesn't even go in the Note 5 at all. I guess you can maybe add some tape to thicken it up and should stay in by friction. I just don't know how to get the Note 5 pen to be recognized in the Note 4 pen slot.

Hi, did you recieved the Note 5 pen and tried to put it in Note 4? Does it fit and does it work?
Thanks
If i use the Note 10+ spen with Note 20 ultra will I still get the 9ms latency ? And will all new air gestures work , Im planning to buy a replacement Spen and the Note 10+ spen is almost half the price of Note 20s.
When I tried air gestures with the Note 10's spen, it wouldn't work.

It will work once you connect it, but you will NOT get 9ms latency. That Note 10 S pen had around 42ms latency from my understanding. Samsung says that the new Pen has had its acceleration sensors and gyroscope enhanced so that it receives coordinates more frequently, also improved the reaction time of the S Pen by using in-house technology to write directly on the screen buffer.

After some search the Spen it self has nothing to do with the latency , the note 20 & Note 20 ultra use the same spen but with different latency it is a factor of screen controller itself and the AI of the software , and for improved accelerometer & Gyroscope the Note 10 spen works with the all gestures of Note 20 normally , Im sure now they are the same Spen with different colors
Can say for a fact the 2 pens are different in some way. Air Actions only works with a Note 20 pen.
My Note 10 pen works for everything else.

For air actions to work you should pair the note 10 spen with note 20 , insert the note 10 pen in the note 20 then choose reset spen from the settings ” attached picture ”
Then allow use multiple spens
Interesting enough my pen doesn't want to pair.
This may be a bit of a cheat, but when I received my Note 8, I contacted Samsung support because the clicky top was wobbling, I sent them a video to show them and they sent me a warranty replacement. The new one did the same thing, so could have just been the design. Might be worth a try with this new phone...

Anyone figure out how to connect the note 10 spen to the note 20 ultra. I have two note 10 spens and they will not connect no matter what I do. I have plugged it in and chose reset. I let my note 20 pen battery die and then try it. I even tried wiping the data for the air command app and still nothing. I'm assuming like everything Samsung does, they are forcing your to buy a new note 20 pen.

Lol... it wouldn't surprise me. If the update is software not firmware just uninstall the software update and go with the factory load version. I've had to do that with a couple apks... cheap tricks count.
The new spen has longer uptime on its cap/battery too if my memory serves me correctly. Was reading a good write up on it about 2 weeks ago but can't find that info now.
Just bite the bullet
Damn spens are born with a bulls eye on them, no doubt.
With a hard drop even in a good case they love to pop out. Cute.
You have to carefully approach the downed note least you inadvertently step on it's spen or leave it behind.
