[Request] EVO View Pen - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I don't even know if this is possible on the EVO LTE or not. But I don't see why it wouldn't be seeing as how it worked on HC. Is there anyway to get the pen from the View/Flyer to function with our EVO LTEs?

Impossible. Well at least not in the way it works on the View/Flyer. The Flyer/View 4G use a N-trig digitizer that can differentiate between the pen and our fingers (hold your tablet at an angle and you'll be able to see dots spaced out evenly. That's what allows the tablet to know what is coming into contact with the screen.
I'll see if I can snap a picture.

Indeed, I don't have a pen for my view (I can't find a place that sells them ) but I did try it on a friends flyer and it's awesome for handwriting.
For anyone else interested in what I said but you couldn't see it, here's a pic. Look at the dots near the reflection of my fan light. That's what makes that digitizer special. Ignore my fingers, it made it easier for the camera to focus on flat almost non-existent points xD

You can get the pen from Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0052E4FJ6/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1341269496&sr=8-1

If your an avid shooter you know the brand Pelican for their bomber gun cases. Well these were seen at the 2012 Shot Show going on right now. Pretty cool but this is all I know right now.
Hmmm.....I was hoping for a Otterbox style case not a hard "Box".
I think that case would make it obvious for thieves to know that you got something expensive in there.

As if having an unprotected tablet, or a tablet in a normal tablet case/cover wouldn't?
A nice hard case is great if you wanna throw your tablet in your back pack with a bunch of heavy text books.

I'll be picking one of these up. I'd like to go through the dimensions to see if it'd fit in the "easel" portion and if the keyboard dock would fit in the "keyboard tray", if so i'll pick up the one designed for the ipad.

What did you find and end up getting? I am also interested in getting one of these.

Since getting my EVO LTE I don't take another camera on trips any more

Few weeks ago I went on a trip to the Steens Mountains and Alvord desert in Oregon and I am blown away at the quality that came out of the EVO's camera.
The only problem I had there was a major wildfire going on so I missed out on the usually pure clear skies.
Don't know why the forum shrinks the images, but do yourselves a favor and open the images in their own windows full size.

Me too. Evo LTE camera is so much better than standard digital cameras
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
It's a good temp camera but I still couldn't use it as a stand alone. Outside and plenty of light all cameras will do well. Once it gets a little dark that's where it separates pretty fast.

The camera is the reason I upgraded from the OGEvo to the LTE. I am outdoors a lot and like to take pictures. Low light pictures are pretty good, too. So it's been a great upgrade for sure. But I do still take the good camera on trips or when I know I want great pictures every time.
I don't have the money to get the camera on my wish list, but I don't need it. We came home from Jamaica with about 2000 pics that were crazy awesome! I think I might like the OG a little better. I took that bad boy to tons of places and came out with masterpieces. It's so nice just needing nothing but your phone.

S Note from Samsung

I like the Samsung "S Note" app. Is it possible to install it on the DNA? It's nice for making notes with a stylus, palm cancellation and all....
Probably not. I'm not familiar with the app but it might need Touchwiz framework like most Sense apps need the Sense framework to run. And even if it did run, the DNA doesn't have the same kind of touch screen as the Note so the stylus would not work.
I'm sorry, the app is called S Memo. Yes, I know that DNA doesn't have wacom technology in its screen and active stylus support. But the app works just fine with a normal stylus or a finger. I just think it's a great app for handwriting.
Sent from HTC Droid DNA
the notes app on the DNA looks to be working just fine for it. have you tried that yet?
Yes, Notes is not bad. Samsung S Memo is smoother with handwriting though. But the main thing - palm cancellation! And the notes on a cork board look cuter I know, it's silly...

i doubt you'll get palm cancellation. that is created when the s-pen is detected which causes the touchscreen to ignore any other presses until it loses contact with the s-pen. our screens aren't designed to accept the s-pen thus you'll not achieve that effect
of course this is just my theory on things as my laptop uses that method for touchscreen
Yes, you're probably right. Makes sense. But there are other apps that utilize palm cancellation. They use other methods though, and that's why they don't work very good.

Thanks for your suggestion. I downloaded it and will give it a try. There are so many of those apps, it's a little pain in the a$$ to try them all and find the best. But this one looks promising, even though it seems to be pretty new.

Running / General Excercise

What do you guys use to carry your DNA when running or otherwise working-out? A few Google searches turned up some cheap generic armbands, but that's about it. I'm curious to see what you folks are using.
Thanks
I use the holster/shell combo that Verizon sold. Can't even feel it when running since its on my waistband. Coupled with my Bluetooth headphones its really non intrusive

Running I hold it.
Just about anything else I put in in my pocket.

I think I would prefer something on the arm, but this waistbelt gets a lot of praise from runners. Very different than a fanny pack, so no jokes lol.

The website says up to 4.8", but as you can see, the DNA fits.

Thanks for the pics and suggestion. It looks almost too big. Is it comfortable?
To those that suggested pants pockets, I have tried that too, but it often pulls the headphones out of my ears.

I'd say so. The DNA is pretty thin and light, it doesn't feel cumbersome.

NEW Bamboo Stylus specifically for Galaxy Note

Looks awesome, with the thin tips just like the Galaxy Stylus Pen.
What I like, from the picture, is that the button is located higher than the Samsung own Stylus Pen, which I assume will make it more comfortable to use.

So was I, but I start taking tons of notes and the small size of the pen is not too comfortable to use...
Just an option for those who are looking to buy the larger Galaxy Style Pen (Samsung do sell this)...
I can understand that. Cool cool

Its $39.99 at Best Buy. The price you quoted seems to be from Amazon 3rd party seller.
The pen is newly launched, I think. All Best Buy store in my area only have ship to store options as none of them have it in stock.
I'd like the button to be closer to the tip. I have to keep sliding my finger back to push the button, or use my thumb. That pen is cool though!

All Wacom styluses are designed to press the button with your thumb, not the index finger, so if you use your thumb, you are doing it right
