[Q] Stylus for S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I been looking for a nice decent stylus for my S3 but I hate using those thick rubber tip stylus. I'm curious if stylus with pointy plastic tip would work on s3? Something that looks alike nintendo DS stylus? Could anyone try possibly?
If something like this works?

Stylus for Xperia S

Hi all,
I am trying to find stylus for XS. Before you start asking why I need it, let me explain. Recently I got addicted to Draw something game/app. And I need stylus to draw more accurate drawings. I tried pencil with rubber at the end of it, but it does not work due to capacitive screen. Maybe some shops/ebay sells something like that, but I want to buy the one that definitely works and the end of it as thin as possible. Has anybody got experience using something like that? Does stylus for Galaxy Note would work?
Thanks in advance.

I use the capacitive stylus designed for iphone/ipad and they work.

The s-pen stylus of Galaxy Note does not work with other phones.

Indeed the s-pen is a wacom pen and requires a special wacom layer in the de device.
Any capacitive style will work with xps.
Thanks gents,
I bought this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-High-Sensitivity-Capacitive-Stylus-LCD-Metal-Touch-Pen-iPad-2-2G-/260967974526?pt=UK_Computing_LaptopAccessories_RL&hash=item3cc2e7467e

I got this one as an extra with a case I bought, it works well mostly but sometimes is a bit hit and miss.
If you want something for precise work this might not be to your liking.

Thanks. It has been shipped within an hour after I bought it, but to be honest, like I mentioned, I need it only for Draw Something (and fimiliar later on), so should be fine.

Metal battery cover?

Hey guys!
Im looking to get the Note on a concession line from my job (That or the S3, and I have a serious love for the note) and have been looking around for some fun accessories before I take the plunge. Im curious, is there an aluminum back cover for the I717 note, or is it specific to the international variant?
Also, any case recommendations would be great. Im leaning toward the Kraken because of the durability and belt clip...Im just a little concerned about the size. Ive had trident before and cred them whenever possible. They have fantastic products. Thanks!
You could get a glass screen protector and a tpu case if thickness gets you. I have an otter box right now and its easily 2x as thick

No good bat covers like that for ours... Try a sweet armor bumper its alum.i got it and its sweet

Our Note has an NFC antenna in the convert that would be shielded by metal. ICS enabled NFC.

I've got a Trident case for mine. They offer a lot of protection but not as bulky as otter box. Reasonable on the price as well.
so my question is will the battery cover fit? because i don't really care about the NFC function.

best case

anyone have the incipio feather case? looking at getting this and just seeing if anyone has any complaints on it?
I have the Incipio feather shine in black. Its by far my favorite case that Ive bought so far for this phone. The fit is great as are the look and feel. Its not as slippery as my Ringke Slim case was either. I would recommend it.

Ordering it now, thanks!
How badly does this case attract lint? I see a lot of dual layer cases and stay away from them for this reason; they all seem to use super soft silicon that is a lint magnet. I am pretty picky too, I hate taking it out of my pocket and having it lined with lint.

I have the samsung flip case and I'm loving it so far. Thin and as protective as I need.

I don't know about the feather, but I have the dual shine from incipio and it is horribly designed. I can't recommend it.
I have the body glove case from sprint. this is the best case by far, textured, matte back, so I'm not going to drop it. I had the flip case, but that was too much for me. I Also had a silicone case from Amazon, but that was too glossy and it was a fingerprint magnet.

Bamboo Stylus Feel for Samsung Note

I'm looking for a wacom based pen that I can actually hold like a pen. The issue I'm having is finding something compatible with the GN3. The closest thing I can find is the bamboo stylus feel for Samsung Note but the website says it's only been tested on the note 2, note 8, and 10.1.
Anyone out there have this pen and tried it on the Note 3? I emailed wacom and all I got in reply was that it hadn't been tested yet on the note 3.
Anyone know of another pen that is compatible with the note 3? I'd love to be able to still use the s-pen features but with a pen I can actually hold (I have big hands).
Thanks in advance

i know,you want a bigger one. right? but how do you attach your spen with you note 3?
I mainly need it for work so I don't mind carrying it in my pocket when needed.

The Carbon stylus feel works perfectly on the gn3.

The Microsoft Surface Pro stylus and the bamboo stylus feel are both compatible.
I have both. 1 at work, 1 at home.

I've used the "Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 inch S-Pen Stylus with Eraser" with my Note 3, and it works fine, but is still slightly smaller than a normal (e.g. fountain) pen. I also own a Note 10.1, and that worked with my non-Samsung Wacom styluses (bought with Wacom digitisers). I would anticipate that any Wacom active stylus should work OK.
Alternatively - if you can get any Note Stylus cheaply (Amazon seem to have a few), it should be reasonably easy to attach it to a normal pen?
Since it seems that note 10.1 stylus is compatible with note 3, I should add HP's tablet PC pen. Works perfectly and to me it was free! If you have one around give it a try!

The Wacom Intuos and Cintiq pens do not work. Which is really a disappointment, because I was so looking forward to using my Intuos4 pen......
So I, too, would very much like to know if the Bamboo stylus works on the Note 3.
I have a thinkpad x220 tablet and it has a wacom pen. Just tested it out and it works fine. Has the button, and the eraser end actually works too which is a plus. It's like a full size pen and I think its about $15 on ebay.
Knows anyone a stylus like the Bamboo Stylus Feel but also with included pen?

Bro Code win. Also, I love the lenovo pens. So, they button actually triggers the s-pen menu options too? That would be awesome. I'll order one today if that's the case. Thanks!

ya the button worked just like the spen and the best part is the eraser works too (at least on note pad which I tested it on) - wish the spen had an eraser
edit; I should note that I have a spare one that also works but is slightly off because the digitalizer is at the end of the pen and not pen tip, just remedied the problem by trimming some of the back of the pen tip off now it's good but probably a bit difficult to pull out if I was to replace it. Just a heads up incase you get a generic one.
Thanks for all the feedback. I actually came up with an alternative solution. I picked up a Pentel retractable eraser pen - http://quill.scene7.com/is/image/Quill/746_s7?iv=CnlqG1&wid=360&hei=360
Took out the eraser and just snapped in my s-pen. Fits perfectly and it even has a little button on the side that I can use to trigger the s-pen button. Once I'm done I just pull it out and place it back in the note 3. I also took apart another pen with a rubber grip and slid it over the eraser pen so it holds the s-pen in tight and gives me extra cumfort. Freakin' amazing

I can't use it while the spen is in its silo. Any thought about that? I am using civiz flexkat 2.2 rom.
I can confirm that he Wacom Bamboo Stylus Feel does indeed work on the Note 3.
But Pentel eraser hack is pretty damn cool.... gotta find one

Not sure if you tried this already, but go to settings, controls, spen, and uncheck turn off pen detection

C-pen working

So I took a chance and ordered one of the Samsung C-pen to see if it works on the 8.4 and it does and it doesn't. For what I wanted it for, it works.

Can you expand on what exactly does and doesn't work?
Well you have to use a little more pressure than a regular capacitive pen. I didn't buy it the intention of taking notes or drawing with it. For me it was more tapping areas of the screen in my office doc's and such. That's why I sy works and it doesn't.

Yah I was hoping that it would be more useful than it is. I miss the s-pen and hope release a note 8.4

poetic capacitive stylus is more affordable
they both do the same thing
i usually go with the slightly more affordable option they seem to have done me good so far.
its just like a finger
u can use when ur wearing gloves
good for cold weather
http://www.poeticcases.com/capacitive-stylus-pen
What makes c pen different from s pen?
C-Pen is (Finger) touch only. and the S-Pen requires that screen have an additional wacom-like layer built-in to allow pressure-sensitive movements and pen hovering identification with the pen and the tablet screen.
So the s-pen won't work on our tablets ?

Unfortunately no. I tried with the note 10.1 spen and not worked.
Also, I tried with a regular pencil ( which works perfectly and nicely on the S5 ) , also not working with the tab pro ????

I've been using the Maglus(micro fiber tip) stylus on my tab pro 12.2.. Its the best stylus for capacitive touch screens out. Just read the Amazon reviews. Love it! I've been using it for note taking and drawing. :good:
