[Solved] Stylus Support - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This seems like such a noob question but I really don't wanna go through with buying a Nexus 10 and it not support using a Stylus. So: Does it support using a Stylus?
I assume it does but stranger things have happened, and I dont wanna be out $400! Really need to be able to use one with this!

It won't support a capacitive stylus like the note but it will support the normal inductive type just like any other tablet...

You switched it around. It'll support a capacitive stylus but it's no where as accurate as the digitizer found in the Note.

Why cant i Use a pen on the screen

Why there is no app developed on galaxy through I can use a pen to draw on the screen?

If so that would be a cool idea!

EBay sells cheap stylus for iPhone which is the same type of screen I believe. I have one for my evo but they aren't as easy to use as the old plastic Windows mobile stylus.

Yeah you need a capacitive stylus.

@sand1303 is it because of the stylus or the software?

It hasn't really caught on because the digitizers on capacitive screens aren't as precise as on resistive screens--you won't get the same precision.

Ipad has this thing too.. so what about our phones? Why wont it work?

It will work, I'm just saying that the benefits of a stylus on a capacitive screen aren't nearly as good. You can draw or write with it, but you won't get that single-pixel precision like you would with a resistive screen.
That's interesting.. thanx all..
Anybody suggest a good app and good stylus?

You can't use a regular plastic tipped stylus pen because it doesn't conduct electricity or something. You need a capacitive stylus like Dagi, Pogo, or Griffin.
Here is a basic review of the 3 popular stylus brand:

I use Sketchbook Mobile for a drawing app. For writing, I don't know, I just use swype. Maybe someone else can recommend a writing app.

stylus suggestion for tab 2

hey guys..
i ve been lookin around for a stylus to use with my tab 2, most of them out in the market are not workin..
my main use of it is for sketchin.. lemme know if there is somethin which works
This tab has a capacitive screen, as with all capacitive screens a normal one wont work. You will need to find one of those special ones with a conductive tip.

[How To] Use S-Pen to touch from air (air touch) and how s pen work

Hi, today I will learn you guys how to make your S-Pen touch instead of air view
If you click on top of S-Pen and but on screen from air you can control it
You can put any cap of any pen on the top of the S-Pen
The video tested on note 2 :
This video tested on note 1 (thanks to kirtan doshi )
Here video how does the s pen work (part 1) :
Part 2 :
Note : This videos by android authority
If i helped click on the thanks button it's easy
You are just keeping the tip pressed in all the time with that mod, no way to write like that.

I know but this for fun only
nor working when lying on bed
the button on the tip of the s pen serves as an action for the wacom digitizer on the screen of note2. pushing the side button of the s pen reverses the polarity of the s pen which then interpreted as another action by the wacom digitizer. this is all the concept i know. correct my if i'm wrong. thanks!
hello, I wanted to ask if it's normal that my pen writes in the air?
got my note 2 a week ago.

No the tip of your pen must be stuck. Try playing with it and see if it frees itself or you will have to buy a new one

[Q]Nexus 4 touch sensitivity sucks

Coming from an s3 I was able to use my finger nail if I wanted to click on stuff and scroll. No joke I can post a video lol.
Just got my nexus four tonight and I love the phone overall but the touch sensitivity is really bad. Any ideas how I can improve it?

There's a mod in one of the Dev forums... I haven't used it but it seems to be working for those that have installed it.

Lol You're fingernail at the time you were using your s3 must have been short, thus allowing your finger as well to touch the screen without you noticing it. And now that you use your nexus 4, you're fingernail is long again..
P.S. Peace I come in peace

Lol ... No. Actually used the back of nail where no skin would be able to touch.
On the n4 I press as hard as I want with my nail and it won't click anything.

This topic doesn't make sense. How does the screen suck when nails aren't supposed to be able to work on a capacitive screen normally?

I never said the screen sucks. I said the touch sensitivity does. And I was using my nail as a comparison between the s3 and n4 screen touch sensitivity.

Really? What are you touching then when you're testing the sensitivity? Do you even understand how capacitive screens work?
The sensitivity mod allows you to tap with the back of fingernail (i know i tried lol). It uses the earlier touch driver, but it does have the side affect of making the phone stall for a minute or more when first booted up; but if used with the supplied modded stock kernel you only have this happen once, also 'Matr1x' kernel also has this feature.

Everything and anything on my phone.
Even if I put my finger on the screen slowly without adding too much pressure it will not recognize the touch...try it.
I guess I'm just used to the s3 really sensitive touch screen.

Can you scroll on your home screen or click on apps with your finger nail?
Can you tap on an app with your finger ever so slightly, but definitely make contact with the glass, on an app icon or keyboard, and no action happens? Meaning the app doesn't open or the letter pressed isn't typed in...

I can scroll with the back of my fingernail, and can open apps with a very small amount of pressure. I don't see why I would use my fingernail anyway

Lol you wouldn't. I was just using that as a reference to my s3. I could do it on the s3 but not my n4.
Is it possible I got a defect or what? Did you flash the mod...

I can't do either. My sensitivity is really bad. It's really annoying when I'm typing so fast and half the letters pressed don't register.

Wow most of you are assholes.. I stopped reading after the 3rd negative response. Does anyone know what an example is? That is what the OP was saying when they said they could select things with their fingernail. It does not mean that they want it to do that but only showing an example of its sensitivity that their other phone had and I can tell you that you CANNOT do this on the Nexus 4 unless you push somewhat. My GS2 would scroll with no issues by grazing the screen I actually have to push before doing the mod.
There is a temp fix and it works fairly well. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028289

S Pen on multiple devices

l used to be able to use the spen from my Note 10.1(2014) and my note3 interchangeably. Somehow I am no longer able to do this anymore. pretty annoying if you own both devices. Anybody figure out how to enable this again?

My note 3 Stylus works just fine on my Surface Pro..
Not really answering my question though xD
Try taking the stylus out of the note 10 first. I bet they turn the wacom off if the stylus is seated...
