Finally !

Look on Ebay for "Dagi" or go to Dagi`s web site (they make them for HTC) , they are a lot cheaper and exactly the same, also available in different sizes and colours.
Ordered mine direct and took 7 days to arrive, paid an extra 2hk dollars and had my name engraved on it.
( I have one for sale on Ebay £7 inc p&p to UK)

No they aren't. Various websites have used photos of the Dagi stylus when talking about the HTC one, but always with the magic words "for display purposes only" - in other words, it's not actually a picture of the HTC product, just a place-holder.

Roumor has it that the official HTC stylus is indeed a re-branded DAGi stylus.
I guess we'll have to waid for the actual photo on some retailer (let's say clove) to see - but - mentioning "clove" - for a long long time, thay had a place holder picture without any picture, and a few days ago, thay too, put up a DAGi-like stylus image, which makes me go towards the conclusion that the patented htc tip-point stylus is not going to show up any time soon.

If you look at htcaccessorystore.com they show a Dagi branded as HTC
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=193951

But isnt the HTC stylus with a curved tip and the Dagi stylus with a flat oval tip

The HTc branded one looks like it has a slightly smaller head than the Dagi one, or maybe the barrel is a bit bigger..

so did anyone get the official HTC stylus yet? and can anyone confirm if it's just the dagi rebadged stylus?

I have grown used to not having a stylus... so I dont think I'll need one..

Newish Member !
Stylus Tip looks like a hook.
Does this hook onto the device somwhere.
More importantly is Handwriting Recognition possible with this.
How do you enable Transcriber in the Software !
Thanks in advance

How accurate will it be with the stylus? Good enough for drawing or handwriting?

Anyone tried the stylus? Does it work?

I guess there are no reviews as nobody currently has it.
We like to keep our customers updated and we just wanted to let you know that HTC has now delayed release of the new HD2 Stylus until February - no precise date has yet been confirmed.

was surfing taobao for a deal on the dagi's...
one buyer said that usage is not as swift as the demo video... perhaps there's a learning curve to place the tip.
I also realised that the screen will only respond to a minimal surface area of nearly 1 cm across.
I've tried desserts spoons which touch very well (played a game of freecell with it) but of course obscure the view

I have just received the official “HTC Capacitive Stylus STC400”…
I tested with my touch HD2 but its NOT working at all!
I suggest: don’t buy this thing… it’s a waist of money!!!
I send it back to HTC!....

That does not sound promising. I was really hoping that this would let me scribble notes.

What do you mean, they've sent you a defective one?

Can the HTC stylus only be purchased in the UK?
Can the failure of the htc stylus be demoed?

eken m003 8" tablet tear down and hopefully upgrade

Hi,
I trade out for an Eken M003 8" tablet running 1.6 on it. I can not stand it as of right now. I decided to do a tear down of it to see if it was indeed able to be upgraded. I have search all of the world wide web for anything on this, and so far I have found barely anything. I will be adding Pictures tomorrow.
Does anyone have any thoughts on this device, other than it is cheap? It has a wm8505 Chipset in it and a small ram chip as well. I am not advanced in the Hardware side of things, but I do like tearing apart..lol. I tried Wondermedia, and Via to try and buy another chipset for it, but I cant find one. Hell even if I can desolder the ram, I cant find anything to get back on it. One question I have is does the WM8505 chip actually contain the O.S. on it? If so what would happen if I did indeed replace it with a blank chip? Could I put an operating system of my choosing on it then? What if I increase ram from 128-1g? Lots of questions, and the only site I can find is Slatedroid, but it is non operational. I have a rooted Nexus and it is faster that this POS. I dont care what really happens to it, I just want to experiment. Any suggestions?

wm8505 chipset found inside EKEN
Here is the wm8505 chipset I found inside the EKEN m003. Any suggestions?

I just found tw6805 on everbuying.com,but i don't know whether it agree with yours.

The problem with these things is that, they are so cheap.... you cannot expect support. I really don't see the purpose of an Android tablet if you have an Android phone or a PC/Tablet PC

I agree about cheap, I didnt pay anything for it, I traded out something I didnt want for it. Really just wanting to try and upgrade it and see just how fast it is. I have a Nexus One that I love, and it is faster than this thing by far. Would be cool to stick in 1g memory, and 1ghz processor. Then I just have to learn how to port custom rom on it, and instant Bathroom fantastica!

take it apart
Hi tytngasman, how you dismantled it?
Do you have any suggestion?
I need to open it to check why the display looks garbaged.
Thanks.

There are 2 crews at the bottom, and an additional 2 screws under the bezel on the left and right side. Then just pop the tabs, and there you go!

Great! Thank you.
My M003 has got a very strange issue: if you push back the sim-like cpu card the display stop garbaging. If you leave it alone, all images are scrambled!
I was trying to glue the sim but is a no go...
In the meantime I broke the touch screen
Then... game over.

I dont understand what you are talking about with the glue. What sim-like cpu chip? The only removable thing on the board is the wm8505 chipset. It looks like a piece of Laptop Memory. Should have two silver clips on the board that it snaps into, and should be about 3 inches by 1.5 inches. do you have a pic of the part? also you can get another screen.

yes, the sodimm like card with the chipset.
if I push it, the screen is clean, if I leave it alone the screen is garbaged
I suppose that the problem must be related to wm chip itself (bad balls) or to the sodimm connector.
any suggestion?
ah! I just bought off ebay a touchscreen replacement for 15$ shipped.

i HOPE THAT WORKS FOR YOU, iF NOT SEND ME A PIC OF IT. Soldering is really easy though. If that is the problem, Also could be in the clips on the side. If you pulled out the chipset without first unclipping it, then it will not hold correctly.

Hats off to Boxwave for their Capacitive Stylus + Outstanding support!

After doing some googling and checking a few youtube videos, I decided to order the Boxwave Capacitive Stylus ( Jet Black ) as I wanted to used various sketch / painting / note taking apps and using my fingers wasn't really practical..
I ordered the stylus through their official site and it was shipped on Nov 30th, its destination being Athens, Greece.
Checking my order status I saw it was saying "estimated delivery date : Dec 10th", so having not received the item by Dec 17th I sent them an e-mail to inquire about it.
I soon got a very polite reply stating that international orders can take up to 4 weeks and that I should contact them again if the stylus wasn't here by Dec 30th.
I thanked them and suggested that they put an extra notice next to the "orders details" page on the site and I was surprised to see that not only they replied quickly, but they were also particularly helpful and assured me that my wish would be forwarded to their web developers.
1-2 days after that though I received my stylus and I'm very happy with it, it feels like a real pen and that rubber tip is doing a great job painting & keeping my Tab's screen safe
My only gripe was that the tip was not as fine as I'd like, however doing a quick check I noticed that all capacitive styli have thicker tips than the usual styli.
Support answered again thanking me for my feedback and informing me that:
"(Due to most capacitive screens being programmed to register input through the touch of a finger, and to register inputs without sufficient surface area contact as noise/interference, the Capacitive Stylus with a point tip is somewhat like the holy grail that companies like us are all seeking for. Our product engineers are working on a solution as we speak.)"
What more can I say? I'm really impressed, they kept thanking me for my e-mails,constantly reminding me that they are there to help me should I require assistance / have any further concerns..and they were very polite, helpful and straight to the point every time I needed them!
Highly Recommended!

Nice to know. May look into this one once I get my tab.

I just got a Boxwave stylus pen combo. It works great also. Works great with Phatwares WritePad.
Sent from my SCH-I800 using XDA App

that looks nice, do you just keep it in your pocket?

I have the Boxwave stylus but can't find an app for just inputting hand written notes. There are lot of such apps for the iPad and they work really well with the Boxwave stylus. Any suggestions for a suitable app?

I am also looking for a free writing program simular to onenote from microsofts tablet os program.

I bought writepad (Phatware.com). Out works great. It works as a input keyboard so you can use it when your taking notes our use the built in input devices when that is more efficient. It was $10 well worth it if you take a lot of notes in meetings as I do.

I may have to look at something like this as even on the tab my sausage-like fingers have issues at times.
Nice to see a post about a positive experience with a company for a change! I have dealt with Boxwave in the past for a few of their minisync cables and they've always seemed to be pretty good although I don't recall if I ever had to actually contact them about anything. Their prices tend to be pretty reasonable too.

Hi There, I have ordered items from Boxwave multiple times including the mini-capacitive stylus (I ordered two in different colors) and various sleeves for my Evo. I have been impressed each time with their promptness and level of customer service. The mini-capacitive stylus works great with my Evo, My G-Tab and my Epic. My smart-phone wielding friends and colleagues like them and I referred everyont to Boxwave's website to buy some of their own. With all the competition out there for our hard earned money it's nice to find one company deserving of the accolades.

I saw these but the tip is too big to be precise at all. So I found a stylus by htc that is extremely fine-tipped and accurate. It has this little red dot in the middle of a small plastic magnifying glass. Google "htc red dot stylus" to check it out.

Galaxy ACE stylus pen?

That's it, I would like to know if anyone has try a stylus pen on ACE. I'm a drawer and painter and I would love to use the Sketchbook app with a pen but I don't know if that would be possible. I tried with a DIY one, that one was for iphone, and didn't work, so what do you think?

Make one with a finger touch ;-)
Sga having a capacitive touch screen only soft fingers touches respond...
[practice random acts of kindness and selfless acts of love]

Lol, thanx! I've been using that app with my finger. The thing is that I saw on ebay, amazon and so, stylus pens for galaxy ACE, but I don't know if it's scam or they truly work

I tried a 10€ capacitive stylus from a retail shop. I don't think you will find it very useful for painting, as it is has a 6mm diameter, but it does work and it will keep your screen clean of fingerprints. I had some trouble swiping, because the rubber tip feels a bit sticky, leading to false taps. Also, mine didn't last very long: after a month or so the rubber tip became too sticky. I know there are styli with cloth tips but I have yet to find one.

I've found several today on an hawker, one of these stylus work well for write or play but I think isn't suitable to draw..

well, if a stylus works on the galaxy note, i dont really see any reason why it shouldnt work on the ace. After all, one capacitive screen works the same way as the other, only the backlight differs(led,etc)

this is under 2 US$. works fine.

Ok! Thank you so much for your answers! So it works, no matter if it's not really really helpful for drawing but works anyway. You were very helpful, thanx again!!

READ the first post dude. For drawing

I use this and works very fine:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/2-x-Metal-L...ccessories&hash=item336fc7e086#ht_5170wt_1081

Interesting!

I bought one from Dealextreme and you really have to push it against the screen to work. Otherwise it will leave a dotted line. It's similar to the other Chinese ones posted here.

I have an awesome idea use an ear bud and put some extra cotton on if an make it a little wet with water and Viola your home made stylus I'd ready.
it really worked and I even typed this message with it

He he..superb idea bro

I use my thumb as natural stylus

This suits for tab n note i think

the stylus's on ebay work just fine, but as someone else said, the tip is fairly large so for drawing dont expect much.
depends what drawing software you are using as well, if its one that supports pinch and zoom then you will get reasonable results, but again, never going to produce superb results.
But the ebay ones are about $2 so its not really money wasted. You can still use it for typing, playing games etc.

Does *MY* perfect case exist?

I've seen this only once for the iPad, I've looked for something similar for various Android tablets with no luck. Here I am with my N7 hoping that such a thing may exist...
I know everyone wants to go slimmer, but for my ideal situation I would really like to find something that is more of a true "padfolio" style case.
Opened up on the inside left a pocket that holds a standard "small" legal pad, in the spine a spot for a pen, on the right a holder for the N7. I saw one for the ipad that held a full sized yellow legal pad at one point in time, but I don't know who made it. Sometimes notes on the N7 is just too slow and would be faster to just jot something down.
So has anyone ran across such a case? My searching has been unsuccessful so far. I don't care about standing it up or anything like that. A magnetic clasp and smart cover would be nice. If I can't find what I'm looking for, I'll probably just get the Blurex ultra-slim now that it is prime eligible.

You want something that will most definitely add bulk to the device lol, the direct opposite of what most people want.
The closest thing so far is this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Folio-PU-Le...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item3cc921a483
It has a pocket where you can put a small notepad in it if needed. Other than that no dice in my quick searches.

Well a legal pad is about the same thickness as the n7 so it would basically double the thickness. Yeah hat case is about as close as it gets,but I don't like how it holds the device. Sigh. Ohh well. Maybe someone will see this and think it's a good idea.

Not sure how the N7 compares to an iPad, but Booqpads are the type of thing you're looking for?

Yup that's exactly what I want only for the nexus 7 with a standard small legal pad. I have some ideas though...

That would work. Put the back cardboard of the notepad in there leaving the pages exposed.

There was a similar thread where someone found a case very similar to how you want. I'll try and find it out.

Sorry to bring this one up again.
I'm looking for exactly the same thing. A case like a booqpad for the iPad or something similar.
Are there, after nearly one year, any news? Does anyone have seen something that could fit or maybe something homemade?
Thanks!
