[Q] Do different nibs function differently? - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I lost the nibs to my Note 4 almost as soon as I got it, so I am wondering if the replacement nibs have different functions. I know the Note 3 pen had replacement nibs that were identical to the one that was pre-installed, but I heard some suggestions that the note 4 had nibs with different feels (rubbery vs plastic, etc). I know there are wacom nibs out there with different textures, so I'm not sure how the note 4 is.
Do any of you still have your extra nibs? Have you tried different ones to see what they're like?

Haven't really looked but the Note 10.1 had 2 different nibs - a rubber coated one that gave a bit more friction so it had some resistance when using on screen like a pen as it rolled across paper and a plastic nib that was less restrictive and flowed across the screen easier.

[Q] Need a thin nose Stylus

Every stylus i found on the ebay has fat nose. The galaxy note's, however, has a really nice thin nose stylus. Can note's stylus be used on K1 or other tablets? In not, Has anybody found a thin nosed compatible one?
The Samsung Notes have a different interface for the stylus making them useless on other tablets. The stylus and screen are way different than the ones made by Lenovo.

Do the Galaxy Nexus screen protectors fit my Nexus 4?

I just bought a pack of five got just under $2 and it'd be a darn shame if they didn't fit.

You might have to make some modifications, but the screens are not exactly the same. Pretty different actually. The lengths might be the same, but the cut outs might not be, like the proximity sensor.

it wont fit properly for sure the speakers and front camera wont line up. The galaxy nexus has a curve to the screen that will affect the dimensions too. ive never heard of a screen protector working on more than one phone except maybe the iphones.
The screens are different sizes, speaker grill, camera and sensors are in different places.
So basically, no.
Won't fit, but you could cut some edges off !
it's not going to work. The speaker on the Gnex is completely different from the nexus 4 and then screen size is different as well. Just buy ones actually made for the phone...
Well that's a darn shame! Is there any way I can adjust the screen protector to make it fit my Nexus 4? Keep in mind that unlike some obsessive compulsives here, I don't fuss over small imperfections. So it doesn't have to be a perfect fit.
Dude, why bother with the hassle of cutting it up? Just buy some Nexus 4 screen protectors on eBay, they're like $3 for 10 pieces.

The nexus 4 screen is wider and shorter than the gnex, as the resolution is different, and completely different speaker design so no it won't work

if that's the case you might as well buy screen protectors for an iPhone and slap them on if you don't care. You can still be cheap and buy ones actually made for your phone.
You can't be serious...
It's a Nexus 4 not a GNexus. If you use a GNexus protector it will cover up the earpiece. Have you looked both phones and compare the differences of the front screen and where the earpiece, sensor and front camera are aligned?
Just buy a Nexus 4 protector and save your self the trouble of hand cutting it. Might as well put some scotch tape on the phone.

Well, you could, but it would look bollocks. Not just OCD bollocks, but actual bollocks.
Hey its only $2, I blow more money then that on the vending machines at work

Just a quick update:
The screen protectors arrived in one piece but once I took the factory protector off my Nexus 4, I was completely captivated by the glossy look and feel of my Nexus 4 in all its "naked" glory!
I'll keep these screen protectors for other gizmos I've lying around. I paid for Gorilla Glass 2 and by god I'll get it!

My Note 10+ case reviews

I have purchased a lot (way too many) cases for my Note 10 + Aura Glow 5G and so I thought I would share my favorites, daily drivers, garbage, and disappointments.
[Amazon] Meifigno Magic Series - It's a foggy black slightly see through case with a soft smooth matte finish. It is a case I keep handy pretty much when I'm going to more formal work events as it somewhat hides the flashy Aura Glow but you can still see through it somewhat and it's extremely durable while still being fashionable. it's not a cheap TPU it's very well made. $15.99
[Amazon] Spigen Ultra Hybrid - TPU on the sides yet very hard clear back to show the Aura Glow. This is my "go to the gym" case as it's got solid protection, is see through, and it feels solid in the hand w/ zero slip. $11.99
[Amazon] Design Skin Genuine Leather Phone Case and Card Holder for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, with Elastic Hand Strap for Extra Grip - Black - This case I had VERY high hopes for but in the end this was my biggest disappointment. At $24.99 I expected something perfect w/ this hand strap but the sides were flimsy (think car mount side bending, and the metal bars on the back are so big that wireless charging was impossible for all of my various chargers.
[Amazon] Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, Salawat Slim PU Leather Vintage Shockproof Phone Case Cover Lightweight Soft TPU Bumper Hard PC Hybrid Protective Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G 6.8inch (Dark Brown) This case looks very nice but it's all for show. The fake leather will fool anyone looking at it however it's a bit odd to hold as the leather folds into the black edges which are then very sharp which constantly catches my skin. Good protection and I will use it from time to time But not often at all. $9.99
[Amazon] ESR Mimic Series Compatible with Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, 9H Tempered-Glass Back Cover, Flexible TPU Bumper, Hybrid Case for The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+/ 10 Plus /5G 6.8 inch (2019), Clear
Now this is a work of art. If you want the best looking case to show off your Aura Glow it's this one and will still give you solid protection. It actually has a 9H Tempered Glass back (finger print magnet but easy to wipe). It honestly doesn't get better than this. Great button feel too. This is my daily driver. $18.99
[Amazon] ESR Metal Kickstand Compatible with Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, Vertical and Horizontal Stand, Reinforced Drop Protection,Flexible TPU Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ / 10 Plus / 5G 6.8" (2019),Clear This is my primary travel case due to it's incredibly solid feel for great protection, it's clear, and the kick stand is the best I have ever used as you can use it in many different angles as well as in Portrait mode! Additionally the stand is placed in a spot that allows for wireless charging on all of my chargers. This is the heaviest case I use, but granted the kickstand is metal so it's worth it. The additional gripping area due to the stand make the phone feel solid in your hand more than any other case I have. This could easily be the only case someone could have and never think of getting another. $18.99
[Amazon] Spigen Ultra Hybrid S Designed for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case/Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G Case (2019) - Crystal Clear - I love Spigen cases, but this one was just hot garbage as you would buy it for the stand and the stand is crap. Move on. $11.99
[Amazon] Eonfine Galaxy Note 10+ Plus Case,Built-in Screen Protector Heavy Duty Shockproof Rugged Cover for Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Plus/Note 10 Plus 5G (Black+Clear)(Fingerprint Unlock with Fingerprint Film) This case is OK and I will only use it when I'm traveling internationally to Mexico or somewhere where I know I'll be on a beach a lot or doing some sports. It's fingerprint friendly for unlocking. It's not a big winner but will do the trick. $16.99
[Amazon] ESR Essential Zero Compatible with Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, Made with Slim, Clear, and Soft TPU, Flexible Silicone Case for The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ - It's a TPU case, works just fine, I like it, and use it if I'm doing some gym workouts but it's not my 1st choice as I like the other ESR case w/ the hard back more for the gym. It's just a bit slimmer. $10.99
[Ebay] Hybrid Shockproof Armor Kickstand Case Cover, it's cheap, $8, ok for someone that just wants a kickstand case on the cheap. Looks ok, black gripy back.
[Ebay] Leather Removable Wallet Magnetic Case Cover - for $11.95 I was actually happy w/ this case as you can take the phone out of the wallet case due to the phone case portion being attached to it via magnets and the phone case portion w/ leather looked nice. Unfortunately the plastic ends that clip the phone end broke very easily w/ in the 1st couple of days. They just didn't size it right making it far too tight and the fold puts pressure on the left side of the phone tabs where they broke.
[Ebay] Galaxy Note 10 Plus S10 Deluxe Leather Card Holder Flip Case Cover for $10 these were ok, I got 2 different colors. They are nice for "going out" and holds 1 card. If you're taking the spouse out to diner these are fine.
[Wish] I ordered a few of those ultra slim cases from wish which come from China and honestly I just love these things. They are the thinnest cases I buy, the phone buttons are exposed, and they have a small lip so if you place your phone face down on a flat surface the screen shouldn't touch the surface. They are like $3 each or something so I get a few colors. When you just want to not use a case but still want some protection for "just in case" these are the way to go.
I hope this helps, I didn't post links because I'm not endorsing any seller but I do have to give a shout out to ESR as they really did knock it out the park with their various cases and my top 3 cases for daily use (Work, Gym, going out) are all theirs and I would have chosen them regardless of who made it. I hope this helps!
Thank you for all that! What about Pitaka?

It's a nice and sturdy case if you actually use the magnetic holder feature. If not then I would look elsewhere as you're then paying for a feature that you won't use. I could use a magnet holder in my wife's BMW but I couldn't in my Honda S2000 sports car as it rides much harder and there isn't a magnet strong enough to hold the Note 10+ steady and not fall off.
Thanks about the thread, it really helps
Anyway the ESR essensial zero... is it fingerprint/smudge magnet too?bc I use ESR mimic and can't stand the fingerprint
Thanks for the detailed info, it reinforces why I purchased the ESR kickstand case last night from other reviewers. My question is which wireless chargers are you using and are you using any wireless stands in portrait mode? I can see that kickstand hump being an issue with many stands in that orientation. Thumbs up once again for your detailed experiences, much appreciated.

RhinoShield CrashGuard Bumper

Anyone using this bumper on the Note 10+? I've had the bumper on other phones and it's worked fine, but from what I've seen on a couple YouTube vids it looks like it fits very loose in the middle on the Note 10+.

Believe it. I have and it's a little annoying. Still sexy though.
I have used this bumper-only protectors, and yes, they look really cool, but, with these cristal back devices, a back film protector is really necessary
How about the shock resistance?
I have the spigen tough armor but the lips on the front seems not enough in case of a front impact.
I just tried one of these bumpers… not good, really, looks nice, but the sides feel loose

On a double impact drop or back plant I wouldn't trust it.
You know at times the 10+ seems bent on flying but seldom lands gracefully and sometimes bounces around before that last thud.
I like 2 layered systems, 3 layers if in the clip case. Otterboxes where always a pain but gave good impact protection.
My favorite for the 10+ remains the Zizo Bolt case. Only downside is no charging port cover. In practice (except for one rain drop) this hasn't been an issue.
Great drop protection and relatively slim/light, very easy to hold, looks great. The second layer of hard polycarbonate keeps the inner urethane layer in place holding it tight to the vulnerable corners in impacts.
The case is the last layer that makes it an "Active" phone. These phones need a good case...
I bought the Solid Suit and it is awesome. I got a real problem dropping phones, and the Note 10+ wasnt an exception.
I have dropped about 5/6 times and it still rocks like a champion.
Trust me, before this a have used various brands on diferent phones and this is the best.
I Like UAG plasma series cases, I use them since my note 7, I find them very protective and pleasant looking, specially the ice color ones, I recently bought a ghostek atomic slim, polycarbonate back, tpu edge liner and outer aluminum frame, absolutely outstanding with my aura glow note 10+, it does not interfere with signals in any way
