The quality of pen input on my Note 10.1 seems very poor compared to Lenovo's Thinkpad android tablet. Here are some screenshots from Quill and Papyrus for comparison:
https://plus.google.com/photos/118035123044388609537/albums/5778924744771043441
These screenshots are zoomed in about 5x from the size at which the text was written to make the difference obvious.
Has anyone else observed this? Could I just have a defective unit? The final picture in the album shows the result of using the S-Pen from my Galaxy Note 10.1 on a Tablet PC running Windows (Thinkpad X61 tablet - also a Wacom digitizer), so I don't think there's anything wrong with the pen.

I've seen that happen very occasionally in Lecture Notes... It's not as pronounced as yours, but it's the same thing.
Would be interested to see how many others are seeing the same thing.
That has never happened to me so far.
I have never used Lecture notes, so I cant comment on that, but pen - input has been working great for me in S Note.
This is not good news. I use Lecture Notes - it is my go-to app for notes. I'm getting mine tomorrow so I'll be testing and will report back.
The effect seems less noticeable in LectureNotes and S-Note under normal use because the minimum stroke width is relatively wide and, since both these save strokes as bitmaps instead of vector graphics, zooming in blurs everything. However, if I zoom out to 30% in LectureNotes, write, then zoom in, I see the same jaggedness.
Lecture Notes allows the user to set the pencil to any width, color or softness, softness adding an antialiasing effect.
If you set your pencils correctly there should be no jaggeness at all. Screen text on my Note looks fantastic in Lecture Notes, I actually prefer the realistic looking print to the S Note app. I mean, zoom in close on an image of actual pen or pencil on paper. The edges are not smooth at all.
I mean it's a note taking app. Why would you care that one looks slightly better than another at 5x magnification?
** I just looked at your images. Yeah you are doing the pencils wrong. Why would you want to write in super fine point anyway?
Sent from my awesome Note 10.1
FWIW I tried writing in a few apps (S Note, Writepad, and Papyrus) and I don't get any jagged lines. Will upload a screenshot later when I get a chance. This scared me for a second.
Edit: Here's a page of text from Papyrus: http://minus.com/lFGDz8vQlZUv3
As you can see, no jaggies like in your picture. Have you made sure that all battery saving options are off? That could cause some lag in the input capture.
Actually, if I zoom in the PDF you posted, I can see the same jaggedness, so the problem isn't my device. I guess I'm just too fussy

Hi PBSurf, you have mentioned using the S pen on Windows Tablet PC wacom digitizer. Can you confirm if the reverse is true? That is to say, does your X61 pen work on the GNote. Coz that would be great! Especially with the felt tipped pens provided by Lenovo. Cheers!

I can confirm it works on our notes as I have the same tablet, the added benefit is that you can use the eraser function of the x61t too.

Yes, my X61T pen works on the Note 10.1. The eraser works in my application: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.styluslabs.write and probably some others (haven't checked). Unfortunately, the pen button does not work since Samsung reserves it for system-wide gestures (like double tap to bring up S-Note).
Samsung also offers an optional pen with an eraser for the Note.

I've got jaggies in Papyrus, and I imagine it's similar in Quill.
I think it has something to do with the vectorization of my strokes. If you zoom in and draw some curves, it's smooth until you take your pen off the surface, and then it goes jagged as the line is converted to points. I also think the pressure sensitivity is too high, so a bunch of fine lines at the end of letters appear when I don't actually want them.
I *think* the jaggedness is not a hardware issue... though the difference with the TPT and Note 10.1 is a little disconcerting. Maybe the TPT has a lower resolution digitizer so things are artificially straighter since there's a larger margin of error?

Interesting ... you could see what happens in my writing application (see my previous post), since it does not smooth or otherwise alter the pen input, so nothing will change when the pen is lifted.
Since the s-pen (like any wacom pen) actually uses a pressure sensor between the tip and the pen body to determine when it's touching the screen, I did the following experiment: I put a piece of scotch tape over the tip of the s-pen tightly so that the tip was depressed and held in place. The pen of course then writes whenever it is in proximity to screen. In this experiment, I saw no jaggedness! I'm not sure what the implication of this is - maybe the problem is that the tip is too loose relative to the body. As I was packing up my Note 10.1 to return it, I noticed there were a bunch of replacement tips included, some of different types. Maybe trying a different type of tip might make a difference?

Ooh, I missed the link to your app! I like it! Took me a while to figure out all the options but it seems like a really nice S-note alternative. I also like that it doesn't seem to have pressure sensitivity, or at least not as extreme as Papyrus. It makes my writing look nicer overall. Here's a test: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4504287/test.html

I think the pen is just over-sensitive. When I write quickly with big long strokes, there's no jaggedness at all. When I reach the end of the stroke and thus slow down, it starts to jitter. Are you returning it because of this problem? That's sad

My main reasons for returning the Note 10.1 were the jagged writing, the inability to use the pen button in applications (since it's reserved for system-wide gestures) and TouchWiz (this was my first encounter with TouchWiz). I'll stick with my Thinkpad Android tablet for now, but I'm really looking forward to the Microsoft Surface Pro.

Jagged writing? Maybe if you use the ink pen on its thinnest setting. Other than that the antialiasing on the pen is outstanding. The pen writing on my Note is butter smooth.

Hi guys. I'd like to know if there is any way to calibrate the S-Pen, somethink like in the old Windows Mobile days with that little cross which you had to tap to calibrate your screen to the stylus. It's off by a few pixels on my note, which makes it annoying.
+1 .......
My GN too is off by a few pixel and is kinda annoying specially for some precision drawing.
It's supposed to be off, that's why you set it for left and right handed so you can see what your doing.
All you need to do is get used to it.
yeah that how they design . like set the right hand then it will off a bit on the left . if setting using left hand then it will off to the right side a bit. but its only on s memo ? seem to be spot on in browsing web.
I just did a little discovery. When I touch the screen either with one finger of my other hand or with part of the hand which holds the pen TOGETHER with S Pen, the accuracy is much better then by touching the screen solely by S Pen. Tested with default stylus and some OEM Lifebook tablet PC stylus. Both behave better when I rest my palm on screen while drawing/writting.

Are you sure you aren't just holding the pen at a slightly different angle when doing that? The way you hold the pen makes quite a big difference to the accuracy in my experience.
I think that the precision of the pen is perfect.
I think it's wrong yours handle
not using the pen perpendicular ...
try to held the s-pen as a real pen (inclined) and you'll find it very precise.
you must use it as you use one pen with a sheet of paper
I don't think you write with the pen perpendicular the book...

The angle definitely impacts the precision. As written above the usual 'paper and pen' holding is the best and also the upward pen button orientation helps. But somehow I get even more precise results when touching the screen.
I just get a my replacement of galaxy note from the shop due to the screeen problem in my last phone.
I am quite frustrated because I found that my s pen really needs calibration. My last galaxy note, although the screen had problem, it didn't have any calibration problem that the s pen is so accurate. So unhappy

It should get used to me, not the other way round.
I'm left-handed, and many left handers have different ways of holding pens due to smudge-avoidance habits. Setting the phone to "left handed" may suit some lefties, but not me.
What's so difficult about allowing personal calibration, Samsung?
I've found my pen is inaccurate too, unless you're holding it and using it like a pen and not a stylus... If that makes sense?
If you use it like a traditional stylus on resistive touch screen and expect the point of the stylus to be exactly where it hits the screen regardless of pen angle then it'll always appear to be very inaccurate. But if you treat it more like a normal pen and hold it at a normal handwriting angle and except the mark to appear where the tip of the pencil would be in that position its just fine.
Change your mindset: This is a standard pencil, not a stylus. Once you treat it like a normal pencil/pen and use it like you normally do handwriting instead of as a stylus poking at the screen you'll find its very good.
mine also a bit off its upper then the actual touch point.

It seems like a flaw to me. When I use it towards the center of the screen it seems OK, as I get closer to the edges it drifts off center. It certainly looks like a calibration bug to me.
same issue, need to hold it like a pen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19491160
Check out this thread
I posted a rather long thing about the accuracy issue.
Basically, there's a set offset based on left/right handedness, which will change depending on the orientation of the screen. If the angle at which you write moves outside of what Samsung deems "normal" then it becomes horribly inaccurate.
Everyone is trying to stick up for and justify this pen problem...if this is the case, how come other drawing programs on the note aren't nearly as bad?
Hi,
Has anyone done profession level or high quality sketching on Galaxy Tab 10.1? Is it possible to do high quality sketching/drawing on Galaxy Tab 10.1? I downloaded Sketchbook Pro over the weekend that has got me into sketching for fun. What are your experiences? What do you use - finger, stylus, screen protector, app, or any other tool? What are other tablets that in your opinion are better for sketching?
Thanks.
You are not going to be able to get the detail you might be looking for with our Galaxy tab. Not like you would with say the HTC Flyer or even the Galaxy note. It has to do with the digitizer I am told. There are apps that will allow you to tweak the touch settings on your tab but I don't think we are able to get them to the realistic detail as say a WACOM can on a PC or MAC. I do still doodle on my but mostly using paint brushes with bigger settings. Nothing really in a pencil or pen and ink style. It's a challenge but you might be surprised on what you can do.
if youre willing to adjust your style of drawing a little bit, you can make very detailed images on the tab 10.1, touchscreen sensitivity is a little off, but sketchbook pro uses that fact to produce smooth lines, the app is really good. if you put in a little effort, lots of zooming in to get fine details, you wont be disappointed. however, like the post above says, you wont get Wacom or Galaxy Note level fine control due to lack of digitizer.
Sketch book pro is a really good app. Let's see if official ICS brings any improvements in this respect.
guys would it be possible to take off the screens in each tablet and install the nexus 10 screen on the note 10.1 ?? Wouldnt that give us the resolution capabilities for it , and at the same time replace the battery and get the NFC ??

The Note has an inductive display to support the S-Pen and the N10's display is capacitive and the pen won't work. So, pick one.
so the screens are not separated like a digitizer and the actual screen ?? and sorry for these question im ignorant when it comes to things like these.
Pretty sure the Exynos 4 that's inside the Note 10.1 doesn't support the Nexus 10's screen resolution. So it won't work as far as I know.
The screen wont work for mainly two reasons the wavecom chip wont work with a capacative screen and it does not support higher resolution then what we have on the note. That is why not has that resolution
The processor does not support that high resolution.
These are main two reason apart from many other. Its like fitting a trucks body on a cars chassies

Here's the difference between the two displays. An inductive display picks up an electro-magnetic signal from the pen where a capacitive display only can respond to physical contact. Based on the manufacturing complexity I'd guess the Note's display cost Samsung more than the FHD+ display on the N10.

Thank you guys , just using my imagination
I didnt know that the screen resolution mattered to the cpu , but then again a computer monitor will go as far as the graphics in a pc allows it ..
Yes the same concept works over here, it depends on how much the mali gpu allows it go to. Secondly as the resolution increase the processing power requirement also increases.
You can have insane resolutions but how pratical are they since most of the apps are developed for a 5inch screen.
This was posted in the N10 forum and sort of describes the challenges of inking on a capacitive display by someone who tried to solve them. To me, either inking works well or why bother. Using a kluge might get the job done but would be very frustrating. I'd rather live with the 720P display (which is still better in contrast and brightness than the N10's).

I made the app Writepad Stylus to do precisely that, on the Asus Transformer 101. Palm rejection on a capacitive screen, without weird zoning boxes. It worked pretty well and I made a lot of money from it. But there are a ton of issues with that algorithm that I ran into when I got the Asus Transformer Prime, which ultimately made me give up on the app:
Bad capacitive screen sensitivity. The Transformer Prime and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 both have awful sensitivity settings, so the writing comes out looking like an 8 year old's scribble. It doesn't register all the input points. It doesn't start recording points until AFTER you move the stylus a certain distance. Ugh. There's an app that sorta fixes that called TouchscreenTune, but it requires root, and the settings for that are really hard to calibrate. Even after messing with that, it's still not as good as on the Xoom or the original Transformer.
Touch screen can't handle straight lines. If you try to draw a straight line horizontally or vertically, it comes out straight. If you try to draw a diagonal line, it comes out wiggly. This is also particular to certain tablet screens. Who knows whether a particular tablet will have good touch screen or crappy one? No reviewer tests for that kind of thing. You have to go to the store to try it out.
Your hand will accidentally hit the notification or navigation buttons, taking focus away from the app, or accidentally going back to the homescreen. As far as I know, this can happen even with the S-pen. Asus has a "lock navigation bar" feature on their tablets, which is nice. There's no way to hide the navigation bar or disable it while something is going on in app (unless you root your tablet).
Anyway, if someone wants to test these things on the Nexus 10 and report back, I'd be grateful since I can't find these in stores yet. Just try to write as small as you can with a capacitive stylus, and try to slowly draw straight diagonal lines.

You have posted a comparison between a RESISTIVE display and a capacitive/inductive one. The top picture is resistive which is old technology now, it's what the old smart phones and pocket PC's used and had a thin layer of plasticky material for sensing pressure. The note 10.1 uses both capacitive (for fingers) and inductive (for the pen).....and the nexus 10 just uses capacitive, not the screen in the 1st pic in your diagram. As far as I know, no screens use resistive tech anymore.

I read the thread about the apps for artist and even bought layer paint because of good review. I have also tried some free apps mentioned for drawing and the smoothest seems to be TV paint (for sketches). I cant afford to buy all the other apps right now to try it. So my question is, is there any app that is meant for drawings but as smooth as TV paint with palm rejection, pressure sensitivity and layers function? I know we can draw on TV paint but it seems too complicated. Anyone found a nice app with smoothness for sketching?
Also question to people who have updated Jelly bean. How is the Photoshop touch? Please can you mention the difference compared to ICS.
I have Autodesk Sketchbook pro for tablets, and it's the best app out there IMO. I've seen other reviews saying the same. It's quite cheap too.

TV Paint looks complicated, because its not actually a paint tool, its a full animation studio. I had a play with it the other day... impressive, but complicated!
I will learn it anyway though, there is also a help manual on the TV website.
As far as free apps goes... theres a free version of sketchbook pro, but I'm not sure what features it has locked because it is free. Theres a free version of Infinite Paint (Note) as well, which is a version specifically designed for the galaxy Note.

In my experience, it doesnt palm reject. Im always zooming around or lines are just flying away from my point. I've gotten into the habit of working on LectureNotes but theyre all line drawings, ill try coloring soon and will report back.
I heard the same thing that sketchbook pro doesn't have palm rejection. I rest my palms alot and it's a must have for me. I can afford to buy few apps and test it but not all that was mentioned in the other thread. But damn TV paint is so smooth. Wish they could release an artist version.
I use sketchbook pro and don't seem to have trouble with my palm now, trick is to enable hovering pen icon in settings annd when you paint make sure the hovering icon is showing before putting your palm down and as long as you have that icon showing it you won't leave marks with your palm although it may zoom in and out sometimes but that's better than marks or lines

I've been looking for awhile for a stylus that performs like as if it's a wacom pen. So I can draw freely and have control of my brush. Is there anything like that? Can the N10 perform like that even? There's tons of information about the iPad and I'm really sick of it. I'd really appreciate it in advance.

I do not think you can get what you want with the Nexus 10 screen technology. The lag and inaccuracy will hurt the experience. One of the tablets that includes the Wacom SCREEN technology along with the pen is what you want.

Well, not literally will I be using it as a tablet source for drawings for pc if that's what you mean? I got sketch pad pro and wanted to be more effective at controlling the brush and such.
I've tried to do effective Sketchbook Pro sketching on everything from an iPad2 to a Nexus 10 to an Xperia Table Z and have never been satisfied with the experience. There was no pressure sensitivity and the lag always killed the flow. Even that platonic "best" stylus can't overcome the deficiencies of the Nexus 10 (and most other tablets).
You might want to look into the new Toshiba Excite Write (same resolution as Nexus 10 but $100 more expensive) or a Samsung Note tablet (much lower resolution but cheaper). Both species actually do have Wacom digitizer screens (so pressure sensitive) and come with a compatible stylus.
Personally, I'm going to try the Toshiba Write and see if that new Tegra 4 processor can eliminate the stylus lag.

There was no pressure sensitivity and the lag always killed the flow. Even that platonic "best" stylus can't overcome the deficiencies of the Nexus 10 (and most other tablets).
You might want to look into the new Toshiba Excite Write (same resolution as Nexus 10 but $100 more expensive) or a Samsung Note tablet (much lower resolution but cheaper). Both species actually do have Wacom digitizer screens (so pressure sensitive) and come with a compatible stylus.
Personally, I'm going to try the Toshiba Write and see if that new Tegra 4 processor can eliminate the stylus lag.

Ah, Ok. Well my tablet was inherited to me. So, still trying to tinker and such. But thank you for the insight.
