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?
Is it possible... is the screen suitable for that??
If so that would be a cool idea!

a certain stylus can be used but not just any pen the screen is touch sensitive

Then why this idea had not has been used?
If I find the right pen then I wont need papers anymore!
Is there such thing like this??

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?

Stylus

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.

[Solved] Stylus Support

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.

i waas searching for a good stylus today with a fine tip (not big round black tipped ones) and i came across jot. I read some reviews and watched videos and it looked really cool but there is a downside unfortunately. It does not work with certain screen protectors as indicated on website including zagg, ghost armor and skinomi. I installed skinomi on my nexus and appearently i am not able to use jot any ideas for a good stylus? i have seen wacom bamboo is good but it does not have fine tip unfortunately

[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] s4 - do not use a screen protector

Hey All,
I was reading the user manual for the S4 (Link), and it said on page 8 "Do not use a screen protector. This causes sensor malfunctions".
If I didn't look online for the manual, I wouldn't have known this information, as I didn't get the manual with my phone. (Only the quick start guides).
What is everyone opinion on this?

victorlht88 said:
I don't think the sensor will be affected if the screen protectors are well cut at the right areas.

Which areas?

They probably be cut around sensors at the top.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app

I'd assume that it's because of the floating touch. Being an owner of the Note 2 (that has floating touch with the S-Pen) I can tell you that a screen protector doesn't affect my experience.
Now if the S4 uses a different way of capturing floating touch (because it doesn't have a stylus), this may be true. I suppose only time and testing will tell.

i'm still going to use screen protectors.

I have screen protector. I got it with the phone when preordered. Its cut around the home button and cut just before sensors at top. All works fine.

Get a screen protector and a case if you don't want to scratch your phone, that way you can sell it in an "excellent" condition. I had my GS3 for 8 months and it's still in pristine condition.

I have had a screen protector on since day one with no malfunctions. Also, you will notice that protectors designed for the S4 don't cover the sensors at the top of the phone.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app

It makes the floating touch slightly less sensitive (and accurate at longer distances), but other than that it's fine.

I have a screen protector on my s4 and have no issues

I also used screen protector from day 1, no problem.

had one no change btw after accident not ahve one now btw think may nto go to bu one what do u think? buy one:?!
