[Q] Stylus does work on Xperia Tablet Z? - Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried 2 stylus (the jot pro and a 3M stylus) but both do not work. Regardless whether i I am using screen protector or not, the screen does not sense the stylus at all. Have you guys got the same issue?

XTZ does not support active styluses like s-pen from samsung, it can only detect a passive stylus...
passive styluses don't come with a fine edge so don't think that any decent work can be done with the stylus like writing notes or something.

Any standard capacitive stylus should work with it, and I find ASUS' stylus headset and a cheap stylus both work. Pressure sensitive types that require bluetooth may be problematic.

Any capacitive stylus _should_ work. I recommend the Wacom Bamboo Solo stylus. It's pretty good, but still not as good as an active stylus like the ones the Samsung Note series uses.

Adonit Jot Pro Stylus compatibility with Samsung GT 7.7.

I have been thinking of ordering an Adonit Jot Pro stylus for the Samsung 7.7. I asked the vendor in ebay about it's compatibility with the samsung 7.7 and I was informed it is not compatible.
Has anyone ordered the Jot pro? If so, It'll be really good if someone could write a review on the performance of jot pro on the 7.7. Thanks.
From Adonit webiste:
Compatible with all capacitive touch screens: iPads, iPhones, MacBook Trackpads, Magic Trackpads, HTC, Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, Blackberry.

This answers your question. So this will even work with any capacitive-screen phone.

I read a blog review of this stylus and they mentioned that it didn't work well with certain screen protectors.
I'm going to order one later I think, thanks for the heads up
Edit - maybe not, just read some Amazon reviews...
They look silly with the suck cup like thing on the tip we need ics to hopefully be able to use a regular pen like stylus
Using Galaxy Tab 7.7 P6800
just bought a jot today
it is not working well with my 7.7
i don't think it's the matter of the screen protector
have to tap real hard for one successful response, which makes annoying tapping sound
i have dagi P507 and P301, both work quite well instead
I got my jot pro today. It took 13 days to reach me. Quite a long wait. But it was worth it. The moment I received it, I tried it with Supernote. It works flawlessly. Only regret is the lack of palm detection.
I also tried it with TabNotes pro. Works even better. There was no noticeable lag in the input, and I'd rate the precision of this stylus at 8/10, which I'd say is pretty impressive.
For everyone's info I've installed touch screen tune. Haven't tried without it. Will uninstall touch screen tune and post the difference.

I guess the digitizer would make the tablet thicker but nothing betters a WACOM -- it just works. No clicking, is pressure sensitive, has eraser function and on and on.
i got my jot pro a few days ago and had a blast with it. and while it's not pin-point accurate, it's miles better than any 'usual' stylus I've tried. works great with the super note app and sketchbook pro.

any more reviews for this ? very interested in it but im afraid it dont work as well.
without a screen protector and just bare glass, I recommend this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000LG7W36/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A30XRGG45X0IFD
Given the screens highly sensitive nature I don't think you have to worry about scratching it with the metal ring, since you won't have to press that hard. It also has a smaller tip that provides greater accuracy even though this device can recognize capacitive objects as small as ~2.5mm^2 (I've tested it).
The mesh allows it to glide without any real issue, plus adds a great deal of durability since it won't wear out like foam or rubber tipped ones.

Dagi vs Adonit vs ????

So I'm on the fence between the Adonit Jot Pro and the Dagi p505 styluses for my XTZ. I've been told and saw that people have problems with styluses from these two companies where the disk scratch the living hell out of the screen. Hearing that kind of put me off on buying either one til I find a stylus that won't scratch. I am looking for something with a fine tip which the p505 and Jot Pro provide but that scratch worries me. Oh and shouldn't the scratch resistant screen have no problem with them? Also, if anyone has any luck with any other styluses please let me know here or PM me. I'll be using it for taking notes and drawing occasionally.

I bought the adonit jot Pro and it works fine with the tablet BUT I'm also using xtremeguard's screen protector and the stylus gets stucked with the screen protector.
I think your screen will be fine as long as you use a screen protector because it's true some dust might get under the tip of the stylus so probably it might scratch the naked screen.
I think a cheaper screen protector might be the solution (but unfortunately in Mexico they are hard to find for this device).

I am using the Jot pro for sketches and it's good.

well it must be ipad lovers company, lol, because the Jot pro only mention the ipad, but It work on my tab Z very well. lol
unless it`s use a software to operate, the device should work with an ipad or not that`s what I thing.

It does scratch a little while writing/drawing but I'm using a armorsuit screenprotector and after I finish, the scratches go away within hours. This is over 2 and a half months of usage without switching out the disc.

Don't you have the same problem with armorsuit as I do? I mean, does your stylus sticks to your screen protector?
I think xtremeguard and armor suit are the same kind of screen protectors.

in the beginning it did a bit but after using it for a while it glides flawlessly like it was on glass. one thing I have to complain about if anything is that sometimes when I am writing notes or something, the screen would not pick up the pen in a certain area so I would have wipe that spot and it would work again. I don't know why that is but it isn't much of a bother.
Hi guys, right now I'm also on the look for a new stylus with a finer tip for my Xperia Tablet Z. I am getting more and more into drawing with the tablet and the inexpensive styluses with the chunky rubber tips are not cutting it for me anymore.
I just got the Adonit Jot Pro (3rd generation) on the weekend and I was immediately excited witht the new level of precision it allows. The moving plastic cap can be a bit clumsy at times but the added precision is worth the hassle.
Unfortunately the Jot Pro mysteriously "lost" its sensitivity in the next day. It would only register contact with the tablet when applying a lot of pressure. Maybe the stylus was defect or I just didn't notice this on the first day because of my excitement with the fine tip but I ended up sending it back and now I'm looking for a replacement.
Can anyone recommend an precision stylus for me? I am considering the following devices:
- Wacom Bamboo Fineline
- Adonit Jot Script
- Targus Stylus for Samsung
- Dell Active Stylus
- Samsung Stylus (3-Tip) for Galaxy S3
- Sony Digitizer Stylus for VAIO Duo11

Hi, how is your Jot Pro now? My friend owns a Dell Active Stylus and surprisingly it doesn't work on my XTZ.
I bought a cheap China versin 2 mm finetip active stylus and is working fair. Price was at USD 30...
After returning the Jot Pro I never got another one but as far I can tell I can confirm that it doesn't work with the Xperia Tablet Z. In the meantime I did a lot further research on the topic and I'm afraid to say that it all came to nothing. At least until the end of 2014 there was really no stylus with a fine tip on the market that would work on this device. The best results I got was with the Wacom Bamboo but it also has serious issues with diagonal wavy lines
I now own the Xperia Tablet Z2 but the situation is pretty much the same. No good stylus. I also contacted Sony asking for advice and they answered me that there is no stylus officially supported for this product. I am now using an cheap and ugly big rubber tip stylus to draw

strange that it worked for one day and then not.
Good Luck with finding one that works good.:fingers-crossed:
Update: I just ordered the "ReGear Pro Stylus" and it looks very good so far. Here is my short feedback on the Xperia Tablet Z2:
- Fine tip!
- Excellent responsiveness. Always recognized by the device and absolutely no broken lines
- Very good hold and feel.
- No Bluetooth needed.
- Runs on regular AAA batteries.
Of course it's still not perfect since drawing slowly in diagonals still causes the infamous "wavy" lines but it's certainly the best stylus I ever had so far, hands down!
which stylus is the best one to write on onenote app?

Case with Bluetooth Keyboard and Touchpad

Hi
I know that there is a thread for Bluetooth keyboard cases but i wanted one with a trackpad also
I have seen a coup,le on amazon for the UK but obviously none are for the Sony
has anyone got any experience on these as to if they would fit or work ?
The one is for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 ( the Dimensions of the note are H180xW262)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/TPC-Tech-To...1-11&keywords=galaxy+note+10.1+bluetooth+case
and the one for the surface Pro (the Dimensions of the Surface are H172xW275)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-K...91431137&sr=1-3&keywords=surface+pro+keyboard
as the sony is H172xW266 the note is close by 4mm and the surface case is a bit too big but i assume that in either case i can make it fit
The surface case seems to be the easiest as the tablet just fits in with the 4 straps but does anyone know if the surface Keyboard and Trackpad will be compatible with Android
Thanks
hi
I went ahead and purchased the keyboard and touchpad combo for the surface pro and it fits and works perfectly
obviously some of the keys are for windows but thats not a massive issue but the touchpad is brilliant just a little on the small size
but for the money its certainly worth it

Stylus for Z2 Tablet

Does anyone know that does the Bamboo Stylus Feel (Electromagnetic resonance pen) compatible with the Xperia Z2 Tablet?
If not, any suggestion for a stylus for Z2?
I'm thinking of a Bamboo Stylus, but I wonder if the accuracy will be good.

Got a Wacom Bamboo Stylus Duo yesterday, does not work with it at all! You have to put a lot of pressure on it for it to even detect a dot.
I'm returning the stylus today, going to wait until someone, be it a mod or Sony themselves, fix this.

I have exactly the same problem with exactly the same configuration:"z2 tablet and bamboo duo". Needed a huge pressure to work. How did you solve it? Were you able to work with any stylus at all? I also tried with adonit jot pro, and had exactly the same issue: lot of pressure required, and when I say a lot it means a lot, not workable at all. DOES ANYONE IS ABLE TO SATISFACTORY WORKING WITH A STYLUS ON THE Z2 TABLET? Any configuration issue I'm missing? Thanks for any feedback

nope, buy samsung if you need a stylus or keyboard. I have the same problem
Just updated my tablet to 17.1.2.A.0.314, and feels good to finaly be able to use a stylus on it.
It's not perfect but alot better then before then i had to push really hard to get any sort of response with a stylus. The small issues i have using stylus now could be due to the stylus it self, i many times leaning it a bit to left or right and it dont always do as i wanted, but could be that im using a thinner stylus then i used to have, so not enough of it are in contact with the tablet.
Speedlink Quill Touchscreen Pen, for about 8eur.
When Sony announced the Xperia Z Ultra at the end of last summer, one of the big features was the fact that you could use pretty much any pen or pencil as stylus input for that 6.44-inch display. Well it appears that both the Xperia Z2 and Xperia Z2 Tablet will also have this feature.I'm loving my Xperia Compact and will buy this too. If they could just slightly shrink the top and bottom bezels and have a plastic or Aluminum back on the phone it would make it lighter too.

stylus with eraser capability?

I love SNote and the standard stylus is nice, but I don't like needing to switch back and forth from the eraser whenever I make a mistake or what to change something. Is there any way to add a virtual eraser tip to the SPen, or is there an alternative stylus that can do this on the NotePRO?
There is a larger S Pen called the S Pen with eraser. That should work on the Note pro. On the back it has an eraser.

I am also looking for a addition S Pen for my 12.2. I tried the Bamboo and it was way off target. It seemed that the point of the pen was off by approximately 1/16" of an inch. The problem is the sensor is too high up on the pen and when the pen was angled for normal writing the target would move down. I have not tried the 8i, I assume the same problem will exist. Has anyone tried this pen? I found one review that stated that it had the same problem as the Bamboo Stylus. Can anyone confirm compatibility?
I found an old (really old) tablet PC pen that works with the Notepro. It has an eraser and everything. The barrel is broken, so I am going to remove the guts and make my own pen. I haven't been able to find one that looks stylish so I hope to be able to.create what I want in a pen.
