I tried the S Pen and it doesn't work. However, it does sense it in the lock screen (i think air view) but won't open it. Anyone know if it's possible to get it to work?
Have you tried it on high sensitivity.

The Note 2 has a 'digitizer' screen designed for the S-Pen.
The Galaxy S4 does not have a digitizer screen.
You can work out the rest.

Indeed. But it doesn't rule out it working on high sensitivity mode purely as an object touching 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.

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.

But the tablets have stylus such as hatch flyer..and its also capacitive screen...
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.
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?

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..

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

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

I guess that's something we'll get with the next update (hopefully). That is assuming it's got to do with camera rather than any other sensors.
I don't think airview will work well with your finger as your finger or a capasitive stylus requires too much real estate to register. Where the s-pen can be very selective due to it's size.
This has been made on some devices, but I'm not sure the Note II's screen is compatible.
As far as I know the Spen has an onboard transducer that communicates with the phone, so unless you embed a transducer in your finger it's not gonna happen anytime soon.....lol.
I think he means the same feature on s4.
It should be possible for the note 2 as well unless the screen technology on s4 is something completely new.

My apologies - I did'nt know the S4 could do that, but I'm pretty sure the note 2 talks to a transducer in the Spen - read it somewhere.

Does anyone is experiencing some screen responsiveness in I9505 with default ROM, unrooted?
Sometimes I need to touch the screen for 2, even 3 times to access what I touched.
Also, the phone is a little laggy than I thought.
Thanks in advance!

^Hi, I used to have a nice screen responsiveness even with the Stock ROM unrooted. Are you with any screen protector BTW? Maybe that's the problem .
I m stock unrooted with screen protector and my screen responsiveness is extremelly good ... some times i get the feeling that i select things without even touching the screen ... check if this happens in certain apps or maybe u have a bad screen protector

Try disabling all TW features in Settings, and also it can be LTE that's overheating your device and giving you a worse responsiveness.
No! I'm taking care about not touch the screen in diferent points at the same time.. maybe it could be bacause I'm using Beautiful Widgets Live Weather...

Writing with the pen does not work in the lower middle of the note 3 screen. All over the Screen you get a easy writing experience but in the lower middle of the Screen you have to impose very high pressure to get any Response from the Screen. In my opinion the note 3 is not usable for People which like to use the pen Funktion I tested now 3 Note3 in different Shops. All of them had the same problem. Is anybody of you affected by this Problem too????:crying:
