Hello!
I have a Galaxy Tab pro 10.1 and I'd like to know if I can find and use a fine point stylus to draw on its screen!
I know the S Pen doesn't work with the "TAB" (only with the note).
I don't like the "large" rubber stylus…
The idea is to draw and write thin graphic things!
So if anyone can give some advices to me, it's great!
Long life to this amazing xda forum, so intense!
Enjoy

+1. Saddly I've heard even Bamboo stylus are not working here and I really don't know why, when it's supposed to work with every capacitive touchscreen. Same have heard about old samsung Cpen (which went on sale with old Galaxy S3 and everyone forgot about it).
I also am interested but I don't want some of these plastic-dip stilus like Adonit. any suggestion?

Why not "Adonit"?
Do you think it can damage the Galaxy Tab screen?
On the internet you can find several videos "demo", it seems to work fine.
I've also read about DAGI P508 or P702, supposed to be ok!

It's not only that it "can" scratch your screen, I personally wouldn't find myself comfortable with its thin joint between disc cap and body. No idea about that DAGI.
What I would like is the rubber cap to be thinner, more or less like a marker.

… there is also this one: Hex3 Nota Ultrafine Stylus Pen
I've never tried it.

Quite expensive, isn't it? I don't plan to use it professionally but only for drawing garbage in my tablet. But that's definitely what I'm looking for.
I've been looking for a good one too...

I ordered this one but have not received it yet http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00PKLU51I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought these: http://www.amazon.com/Bargains-Depot®-0-18-inch-Rubber-2Packs/dp/B00D5GVMK8
Those have the thinnest tip I could find. They feel very soft and responsive in my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4. I can write normally with them.
The best of all is that they are super cheap. Just 6 bucks. It came with additional 10 replacement tips (the listing says 6 but it actually came with 10).

I'm currently looking for a pen/mechanical pencil/stylus combo. I bought one about a year ago that i used with my magician from Fry's but it broke after 2 weeks use. I'd prefer one that allows quick and easy switching between them, or if possible one with the stylus on the top of the pen. I currently use the eraser on my mechanical pencil while during work as a stylus but its fat and a bit hard to use at times.
So any suggestions?

The best pen/encil/stylus I have ever used is Rotring Trio or Quattro. They're expensive, but they last. Unless, you lose it. I've had my Quattro for over 10 years. Still functions perfectly.

What stylus do you recomend to sony s, i want to right notes from classes
Please if possible ebay link
none
All of the ones that I know of have a rubber piece at the end and are not suitable for hand writing.
What I don't know is if the new Samsung firm stylus would work.
Hi guy! I've the typical cheap stylus, but I don't recommend you to take notes (I'm in university and it isn't easy to keep pace with him hehe).
A very good pencil is the Adonit jot, I haven't tried it but I've readed that is very good! But is very expensive too...
Link to the typical stylus (very cheap):

Ebay link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Adonit-Jot-...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item4cff3a47df
Later, to take notes I recommend you the FreeNotes apk....is very easy and, for me, the best apk for this!! hehe. Free in the PlayStore!
Sorry for my english, I'm Spanish...
The best stylus for handwriting on the Sony S tablet that I've found found is the just mobile Allupen. It does take some getting used to and there is a slight delay. It is the only rubber tipped stylus I've run into that you can write with. Also your mileage may very depending on what app you're using to take notes. My personal fave is Freenote.
The adonit Jot works well too, but I thinks it's more suitable for drawing than writing as it will constantly be clicking against your screen if you even write moderately fast. Good for cursive though.
Another good option is the fabric tipped gogo stylus it's exactly the same as the fabric tipped aponyo stylus, but it's a little cheaper.
With any of these you have to get used to writing with them. It's not like writing with a pen. Also all the palm rejection software I've run into has been less then thrilling. I just wear fingerless gloves to solve that problem.
Good luck!
works great

I just got the Adoint Jot and it works fairly well,
http://adonit.net/product/jot/
I'm surprised people have gotten any stylus to work with the Tablet S. I've tried two different iFaraday styluses, which are supposed to be the most sensitive stylus available, as well as a Boxwave rubber tipped stylus, and a dirt cheap generic Ebay rubber tipped stylus. All of these tips trigger a strange constant double tapping action just by touching the tip to the screen. Extremely annoying when in the browser as this causes the screen to constantly zoom in and out. I pretty much just assumed the Tablet S screen simply can't handle styluses.

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 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).

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.

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?
After a long wait till the prices came down I have upgraded to a note pro from a 10.1 2012 edition. I love it so far. I have been using Taobao for a while to buy various accessories Using Yoybuy as a shipping agent. I got my genuine samsung keyboard £30 it is the real thing. The only difference is the box and instructions is in Chinese. I started to look at spens. I found wacom bamboo stylus feel Selling for $1.64 I do have one as I am a designer and I have ordered a couple. It is worth a look for cases etc. Google translate comes in handy.
$1.64 for the stylus sounds wrong. Maybe it's a knockoff?

yes it does seem like an amazing price. I bought a couple so will keep you posted. I can always turn them into spen holders! Though I did get a bargain atomgsm.Co.uk are selling off all the samsung moschino and kirkwood offical note pro flip covers for only £11.69 I do like the black kirkwood one.
Link for kirkwood/moschino cases it is a UK company they are selling their note 3 cases and s5 cases cheap too.

The Wacom technology is patented, so it's no doubt a fake.
Still, if it works, it's probably still cheaper to just toss it in the bin when it breaks after a month or two and get a new one, you could do about 40 months for the price of the original.

There are a lot of fakes on the site mainly flip covers. But you can tell as the inner lining is always grey no matter what colour. A lot of generic spens definitely fake. Though there are originals as well.
The cheapest price I could get for an original samsung keyboard case here in the uk is $122. But got an original one from there for less than half the price Including shipping. I also got an original samsung bluetooth spen the one you can receive calls from For $24. It came out with the original note 10.1 2012. The price never really came down Works a treat with the note pro. Plus it comes with the full range of spen nibs from soft rubber to hard plastic. Which I got with my old note 10.1 2012 but sadly with my note pro just standard tips. If you are an artist or a designer the different nibs as well as calibration of the pen make a difference that's why I have a few pens.
But you are probably right about the wacom pen I am not holding my breath but it was worth the gamble.

Both, which is why I have 3 Bamboo Feels and 3 Spens for the same reason.
But I'm still miffed that my Intuos pen won't work on it. Different tech, I know; a girl can dream, right?
I've got a ton of stuff from china as well, some of it original, but for the serious accessories I prefer something with a warranty and quality certifications. The EU has a much, much higher legal quality demand than the US, let alone Asia. (You can notice the difference in the build quality of phones and tablets.)
Still, somtimes the low price is worth the shorter lifespan.

I thought intuos pen would work too but no joy either. Any other pens you could recommend? I have spen with eraser, bamboo feel, bt spen, note 3 pen 10.1 2011. Is it worth getting the spen holder or going for another bamboo feel? A girl can't have too many pens. The spen I got with my note pro the calibration was completely off the nibb sticks.......Hopefully a new nibb will sort it.
Any tips on drawing on the note or apps would be appreciated as there is always something new to discover.

What I did do was place the second rubber grip I got with the Intuos pen over the Bamboo feel. Bit of a tight fit, but now I've got a Bamboo pen with a very comfortable grip! (It doesn't look very pretty, but oh well.)
Haven't found a solution for the button yet, but it does make holding it whilst drawing much easier.
Haha, yea, I had to recalibrate all but one of the Bamboo pens. Nearly lost the button for the original Spen to the carpet in the process!
I've never tried the Spen holder, truth be told.
Here's a couple of apps to give a try :
Artflow: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bytestorm.artflow
Infinite Painter: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter
Can't forget our best friend's baby brother: Photoshop Touch! Tablet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.adobe.pstouch Phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.adobe.pstouchphone (I sideloaded the tablet variant onto my Note 3 because I prefer landscape for Photoshop.)
For writing, lettering and sketching in one I love Papyrus. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus It has an option to write with the pen and erase with your finger for Spen devices.
INKredile is a Vector writing/sketching app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viettran.INKredible&hl=en I use this for creating handwriting fonts, exporting it as a transparent png, loading it in Illustrator, image trace > 254 threshold + Ignore Whites > Expand > tweak > Place in Fontlab
And then there's Snapseed. Not quite a 'specially made for the Spen' app, but the Spen makes it that much more accurate! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.niksoftware.snapseed&hl=en (Made by NIK Software, the company behind NIKefex, who were bought by Google).

What I did do was place the second rubber grip I got with the Intuos pen over the Bamboo feel. Bit of a tight fit, but now I've got a Bamboo pen with a very comfortable grip! (It doesn't look very pretty, but oh well.)
Haven't found a solution for the button yet, but it does make holding it whilst drawing much easier.
Haha, yea, I had to recalibrate all but one of the Bamboo pens. Nearly lost the button for the original Spen to the carpet in the process!
I've never tried the Spen holder, truth be told.
Here's a couple of apps to give a try :
Artflow: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bytestorm.artflow
Infinite Painter: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brakefield.painter
Can't forget our best friend's baby brother: Photoshop Touch! Tablet: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.adobe.pstouch Phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.adobe.pstouchphone (I sideloaded the tablet variant onto my Note 3 because I prefer landscape for Photoshop.)
For writing, lettering and sketching in one I love Papyrus. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.steadfastinnovation.android.projectpapyrus It has an option to write with the pen and erase with your finger for Spen devices.
INKredile is a Vector writing/sketching app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.viettran.INKredible&hl=en I use this for creating handwriting fonts, exporting it as a transparent png, loading it in Illustrator, image trace > 254 threshold + Ignore Whites > Expand > tweak > Place in Fontlab

Thank you so much for your help I have got most of the programmes but inkcredible was just what I was after. I will try the intros rubber grip thanks for the tip I am after function rather than pretty. I do love the extra screen on this tablet. I love the note series.
Have you tried watercolour pencil I use it from time to time it gives you some really lovely drawing water blending effects.

Yea, Inkredible is a genius litle app. If you export as PDF, it exports as a Vector PDF. Real timesaver!
The only thing I miss is all my brushes in Photoshop.
Oh, fun! Didn't have that one yet! :good:
Have you tried Snapseed since it updated to version 2.0? That app is the main reason I'm buying this tablet and getting rid of my new laptop.

Yea, it's good. Still doesn't reach the level of its parent ColorEFEX (Which requires a full version of PHotoshop CS4 or higher), but it's a good dressed-down version.
When I was considering buying the S3 and perusing it's forum, I encountered a thread, or threads, that talked about the pro and cons of various cases in respect to magnets contained within them, and potential trouble/interference/distortion of magnets on the screen and S-Pen. So, this is to start a similar discussion on this subject as I have ordered the S4 and will, almost certainly, want to use it with a case of some sort.
I have already ordered the TiMOVO Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.5" Case from Amazon https://1n.pm/WDzp1
but wish to see what others are doing/thinking.
I don't that is a bad choice. I like the similarities to my S3 cover. I have the S4 keyboard and it could have been better designed.
UAG case
I'm not really a fan of cases with the flip covers. I was hoping to get something with a kickstand on the back, but most that I found online were flip covers.
I was hoping for a rugged case to come out, but with very limited options I just went to a local gadget store and chose the Urban Armor Gear Exoskeleton 10". The top edges of the screen are slightly covered but with watching movies there's usually a black bar at the top and bottom of the screen so I don't really mind it. The Tab is kind of exposed but there really isn't much bulk when holding it. It has a small kickstand and a slot for the S-pen. It's not perfect but it's working well for me. Amazon has a cheaper price compared to the official UAG website.
I also have the grey model (off-white back) and opted for the black exoskeleton case. I am enjoying the contrast between the tablet and the case.

is what I ordered. A case without the Spen slot is worthless.

To anyone, The s pen is very easy to lose, why would you buy a case that cant hold it?
I picked up the samsung book cover from best buy today(price match amazon $54) seems pretty high quality so far. I wish UAG would make the metropolis case for this tab. That is my favorite tablet case of all time, but seem they only like apple.
I got one from Verizon, it's their brand but it's just like an otter box. No flip cover and surprising thin and nice.

thanks Scott. that's pretty reassuring, as this case would tick a lot of boxes. the S4 (esp the 256GB / 6GB / LTE version) is so damn expensive (and imported), i need to be careful
have you seen this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJ9M9LHphyo
user claims "The magnet effect happens over time, and is likely not reversible. I don't recommend using cases w magnet auto sleep."
Stay original! This is s damn expensive device, especially those of us that got the LTE version from start.
I got the Samsung Book Cover, and gonna buy the keyboard cover if there are any black friday deals out. =)
I like the Infiland case because it has a dedicated slot for the pen as well.

Yes it has! Works 100% of the time. Only minor flaw with tablet is that I often like to have the case in "low profile" and when I am using DEX mode, it wont rotate to fit "low profile".
