Does anyone know if the S Pen works on the S8?
I just tried it with the S Pen from my Note7. It doesn't work. Even in Samsung Notes, where I can draw with my finger, the S Pen won't "write" on the screen.

Thanks for the input guys. That's unfortunate.
The S Pen only works with devices with a Wacom digitizer screen. The S8 is just an ordinary screen.
The S Pen will work with other Galaxy Note or some Tabs that came with the S Pen.

The S5 has the S-Note app, but will an S-Pen work with the phone?
No. It doesn't have the Wacom Digitizer which is necessary for the S Pen to work.
damn thats a bummer
Hi,
from images and videos about this device on web I have noticed that included stylus does not have any buttons, which is a bit disappointing for me as I am used to use stylus with as least 1 button (preferably 2 thou). Since the Yoga Book has wacom digitizer, could I use a stylus from my Intuos tablet? Or some other stylus with buttons?
Thanks
I was able to use the stylus of my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and the button worked as well

Thanks for the info.
Not the thing I was hoping. I have Galaxy Note as well and those small styluses are just not for me.
Search for Bamboo Wacom stylus. I've got one that works with both my Galaxy Note 8 and the Yoga Book. I believe any Wacom stylus should work with the Yoga Book.
yes i think so, the technic is from wacom
i test one from my old windows convertible on the lenovo also the eraser works and the button
Hello,
i have test the stylus from my Windows "Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga 260", it didn´t work
Hey,
thanks all for the comments. The stylus from Samsung Note series indeed works (Galaxy Note 10 2014 in my case) and quite well actually. Just for funsies I have ordered few cheap "replacement" styluses from china, will let you guys know how it turns out.
I have also tried stylus from my Intuos tablet which unfortunately did not worked at all - the bamboo stylus seams to be the way for Wacom styluses.

Hi
I have had the Yoga Book for 3 days and loving it. I have found that the pen from the Thinkpad Tablet 10 works fine, its much smaller and has a button. The button didn't appear to do much in my first quick test. However, if that pen works maybe the Samsung pens do too.
How about the galaxy note pen version which has also a headset function (S pen). Will it work?
Has anyone tried the Surface Stylus with one key and an eraser on top? I think that would be great if it's working with our yoga book!
I received this S Pen clone yesterday: http://www.ebay.de/itm/131721242167
It works, but triggers to early, so I have many ghost lines on my notes. It's not very usable. Maybe an original product will work better - but I'm not sure.
i tried cube i7 stylus(skylake)'s pen today. it works without pressure sensor so... meaningless. however backside button works as eraser. side button doesn't works. i owned android yogabook.

Hey,
me again. So the styluses from china just arrived - it took way longed than usually does thou . So I bought these two: http://www.dx.com/p/capacitive-scre...samsung-note-3-black-2pcs-412089#.WHOxTy_Qckk
To my surprise they work quite well including the button! Only on pad thou, you can not use them with screen (same as original note stylus). Also, the tip has a bit more resistance than original note stylus when pressed, which I like very much. There are like only 2 levels of pressure sensitivity so it is not for artists but for notes it just fine.
I picked up a Wacom Bamboo Smart Stylus and it works. But... there are some weird distorted spots where the point doesn't quite track right. There are about 5 scattered about the screen some of them are about 2 inches in from the edge of the screen. While it works, the distortions were enough to bring me back to the buttonless (ugh!) OEM stylus.
The original Surface Pro (gen 1) stylus works perfectly with the Android version of the Yoga Book.
You can get one here:
OEM Microsoft Surface Pro / Surface Pro 2 Bluetooth Wireless Stylus Pen

Where's the benefit of using a different Stylus?

My main reason is to have a backup. I've read that the tip of the Yoga Book stylus insert is prone to breaking off when switching to an ink tip.
I would love to get a alternative Stylus with Gel or a little bit something softer. But thats not so important.
I'm a little bit worried, that there are no Stylus Tips (plastic) for the Real Pen are available. You get normally one with Pens from Microsoft
or Samsung. So I have to buy then a new Stylus?
Which Stylus is definitly and without any restrictions working?
Worst case, use a drained ball point tip. Should work fine. How fast do these Wacom tips tend to wear down?

Hi, interested in what the s-pen button does functionally bring, both under windows and under android.
Thanks
Hello,
I have a SM-T580 and I wonder if it's possible to use it with S-pen or another fine tip pen?
The SM-T580 and the SM-P580 have the same hardware, flasher the SM-T580 with the firmware SM-P580 could work?
Actually, the hardware isn't the same. The S-Pen version comes with 1GB more RAM, and I tried to use the S-Pen from a P-580 on a T-580, without luck :|

Thank's
The difference in RAM also exists between the SM-t550 and the SM-P550.
I do not think that the amount of RAM affects the S-PEn, or there is another hardware element that allows the use of the S-pen or it is only a software difference
The S-Pen from P-580 will not work on T-580 because it does not have the Wacom stylus technology in it however it will on any Galaxy Note smartphones. If you need the best stylus pen, you should buy the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with S pen or wait for the new Galaxy Tab S3 with S pen to come out.

So the Wacom stylus technology is not just software ?

Correct, there probably a sensor chip that allows u to use the stylus.

No, it is a detection layer that covers the entire screen (transparent, like the capacitive layer that detects finger touches).

There is a much bigger difference than the size of the RAM. Tablets equipped with S-Pen have a special mesh screen behind the LCD screen to detect the pen's position. The T580 doesn't have that screen like the Galaxy Note tablets or some iPad models do. So, no, a fine tipped electronic stylus will NOT work with one.

Read this article to understand how the S-Pen work, then you should not expect the S-Pen to work with no S pen tablet.
http://www.androidauthority.com/break-it-down-how-does-the-s-pen-work-154435/
SM-P580 and SM-T580 almost identical except S Pen, however the firmware is not interchangeable.
Try it, Odin will fail immediately as it detect wrong firmware.

Well NONE of the answers were able to tell what to do with a SAMSUNG tab that is NOT equipped with a stylus pen by default, in order to handwrite on it.
So the question might be, if someone by mistake bought a SAMSUNG tab like SM-T585 assuming that it should be interactive with any available stylus SAMSUNG pen, then what is the model of the Stylus Pen from SAMSUNG or any other brandnames that might be compatible with his selection.

How you use the pen when tablet's LCD is not designed for it ? You cannot expect a gasoline car can run by both battery and fuel like a hybrid one.
An electromagnetic field is generated from a circuit behind the screen. The S Pen picks this up and uses it to power itself and figure out its position relative to the screen. It sends this, along with information from the S Pen button and the nib at the end, back to the Note.

Very simple answer to what he can do, trade the tablet in on one that has the HARDWARE necessary to detect an S Pen. There IS NO stylus that will work with any "T" model tablet that will produce fine enough lines for "handwriting".

the samsung universal stylus should work perfectly with this model .
Oem stylus touch screen pen for galaxy tab a 10.1 (2016) p580 & p585 {in compatibility it had the model letter t in front of the 580/585 . Running at au$10.49 on ebay right now .
The day i got my tab i was comfortably using a cheap arse "papermate inkjoy stylus" . Was old and the nub was deteriorated so i upgraded .
If you have any issues with any s pen download an app called write on pdf and it should solve compatibility .
There's the answer you want mate , all the pretentious c♡nts with their non-answers ? , these other wankers probably work for samsung sales department ???

No it doesn't. The S-Pen only works on Note tablets or on ones with a P instead of a T in the model number. The samsung universal stylus mentioned in the previous post is NOT an S-Pen. Check on eBay and you'll find it is a CAPACITIVE stylus which is NOT the same thing as an S-Pen. The S-Pen is a Wacom electronic stylus that requires a fine mesh screen behind the LCD to detect the pens position. Neither the T580 or T585 contain this hardware.

Sorry mate, but you are totally WRONG!!! Neither the papermate or the samsung universal sylus is an S-Pen replacement. They are both CAPACITIVE touchpens that will never give you the fine lines that an S-Pen will. Calls us all the names you want, but we know what we're talking about. YOU DON'T!!!

Agreed.
T and P versions definitely have different touch screens.
Even if you could run the P firmware on the T version it wouldn't have Spen functionality.
Can you use the S Pen from the S3 tablet on the P585?
I am keen to buy the cheaper tablet but want to get a better feeling pen than the thin S Pen that comes with the P585.
guy is there any bluetooth pen for this tablet, or in general for andorid device, which support a pal rejection mode or something like this? Like an apple pen or huawei m pen
The s-pen on the SM-P580 does everything those other styli do, and does it well. In general, Samsung s-pen has been, for a long time, the best stylus for many people, including me.
And it isn't a bluetooth device, but uses a special detection layer on the screen (not the capacitive layer).

I've read online and many people say that the s pen works only with the galaxy tab a 2016 model with s pen include (or galaxy note), in the one without the s pen included will not work.
I can't buy the galaxy tab a 2016 with s pen because I'm from italy and here it is not sold, so I've bought the model T580N WI-FI 16GB without the s pen.
Do you have the s pen and you confirm for me that the pen will work on this model?

I do have the s pen (SM-P580), but the T580 you have does not have the required s-pen detection layer on the screen. Sorry, I don't think it will work for you.
To be clear, the S Pen will not work on SM-Txxx models.
Having owned a Note 8 (GT-N5100) followed by a Tab A (SM-P355) I'm quite fond of the S Pen, and will buy the Tab S3 if rumours about it's stylus capability are true. Perhaps the S3 be available in Italy?

Well I don't know... fro example if I buy this pen http://www.adonit.net/snap/ which has bluetooth function and use INKredible app on my device which has a palm rejection mode, will work?
I'm not familiar with BT stylus. They don't seem as capable or convenient as the S Pen, but I guess they're better than capacitive stylus.
Good luck!

No.
No! S Pen stylus won't work on others than Galaxy Note series itself. Because all the Note series have an additional screen layer in their LCD Digitizer which allows the S Pen stylus that comes with them to work. So the answer is NO LAYER NO STYLUS SUPPORT.
