If you get a grape and use it as a 'stylus' it actually works, and better, its really accurate too. Thought I should just post this as I found it quite funny

I can see you eating some grapes while using the tablet... then one falls from your hand and bounces against the TF screen... and then you witness some incredibly accurate touch events
Thanks for the tip
Gett a bag of chips and rip the bag and wrap the ripped part around a pen and use a rubber band or tape to wrape it around. Works just like a stylus. No joke. I saw it on life hacks part 1. Lok

Anything that can conduct electricity and is touching your skin will work
Grape is best idea yet
I have a mechanical pencil that some of the internal broke but the exterior is metal. I took one of the yellow kitchen sponges with the green scrubby part on them and stuffed it inside the pencil with a little hanging out the tip. Works great!

Accurate, cheap, it also doesn't scratch the screen and doesn't leave finger marks! Perfect stylus in my opinion!

I dont think my cat would enjoy being a stylus. My bird might though but im not sure his beak conducts electricity well.

Greetings SGS2 owners,
I'd like to know your opinions on the SGS2 touchscreen surface.
Sometimes it's an unpleasant experience to swype texts because my finger gets stuck to the screen.
But some other time, the screen surface is silky smooth. Not sure why is this happening.
And the other day, a friend told me that my SGS2 has more screen friction compared to an iphone. Anybody can verify if this is true?
Is there any way to fix this?
Thanks.
Your fingers have grease on them naturally, it makes them slick. However if you clean your screen or wash ur hands it will stick

Thank God I don't have sweaty hands ...
It dosn't matter if I use a screen protector or not ... when my finger gets moisty/wet I can't use Swype LOL
On most other surfaces water would make it more slippery ... strange
Thank God I don't have sweaty hands ...
Yes, all boils down to the dust or grease accumulated on the screen and on your hands Nothing else ...
There's a software update to make the screen smoother.

I'm thinking more on homemade fix.
Have anyone tried something like talcum powder or any other lubricant (gasp!) with good effect and no adverse results to the screen?
I am making this post in resonse to a request to see if this phone will boot okay with the capacitive button unplugged. Im happy to report that it does and works flawlessly im currently running aokp *not this does not only turn off the "lights" it completly disables the buttons.
Im going to upload a video soon.

Forgive the silly question, but keeping the capacitive buttons offers us more real estate, correct? The GNex can get away with having on-screen buttons since the screen itself is like 4.7", not 4" like the Epic...
Beyond the aesthetic value, is there something I'm missing related to the capacitive buttons?

I think it'll just come down to preference. Some people just like the idea of the on-screen buttons, even if it takes up some space.
Would help me get used to the onscreen buttons when I get my gnex

This whole concept of a phone being sexy is foreign to me. I'm not judging either way, just not sure how I could think of my phone as Sexy... Maybe if I gave it a name?

i only get bugged about is my damn "FAT BATTERY" they say stupid things like " OMG like your phone is too huge" or "that's ugly as hell" whats funny as hell when i don't have my charger by my side 24/7 because i can along time with having to recharge it.
Lol well if the sgs 3'sbattery is the same as the epic 2 and ours then ill prolly be swiping one of those 2100 mah or the extended ones that will come i can see up to 4000 mah if the battery as big as ours will start off at 2100 mah

I can see this to get the task switcher button. Holding the home button only works 50/50 for me as it will think I let up and just pushed it rather than hold it. May be worth losing the screen real-estate to improve multi-tasking.
It really isnt that much heres what you do set ur default screen density to 320 like the gnex then reboot clear the market data press accept then change the screen density to 200 so that it feels a little higher res this will make up for the loss in real estate.

Wow, the video is really bad. I don't even know what to say. I appreciate you confirming the button less function, but the video is mostly of a wood table and like a phone sometimes gets in the way of the the table. LOL

hey guysss here's a video in which a knife is used as a stylus and also used for playing games
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98BYhwR5Y60
Lol It is one of the most useless and idiot things i've ever seen! Very funny though! Ahah The intresting thing is the back button, because, even with the original stylus, it doesn't work! So, why spending a lot of money for a stylus? A knife does exactly the same

please note this also works with machetes, crowbars and an axe, although the latter has to be used with caution due to its weight.

you're right, was a good video.
As for the music, she is a good singer but the rest sounded a little overproduced. Was almost like pop heavy metal. More importantly:
WHERE IS THE DOUBLE BASS ROLL AND SHREDDED GUITAR SOLO?
for some reason, i kept waiting for This Love by Pantera.

Hells yea, Angela Gossow is badass,she another great singer as far as metal goes.
Damn, I really really wanted to like it, but I think I have to face the simple fact that I'm getting too old for some of this stuff. For me it wasn't singing, but more like painful squelching, like the sound she would make from a tampon insertion going horribly wrong. Love the caked on black eye makeup running all down her face, that takes talent.

I guess that's something I need to be prepared for. I am pretty sure the white didn't show fingerprints when I saw it in Best Buy but it didn't look as good to me.
