I ordered two full size SPens from Samsung (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ET-S200EBEGSTA) - both seem to be defective. Taps/clicks only register about half the time, and pen contact on swiping motions fades in and out. I carefully adjusted the potentiometers as per instructions found on this forum, setting the sensitivity as high as it would go without starting to cause phantom contact, but it barely helped if at all.
I tried all of this with and without screen protectors. Same results.
Anybody else order one of these? Did it work right?

mine works perfectly fine here, stock rom.
I have one as well. I have used it on the stock ROM as well CleanROM 2.0, and haven't had any issues. Your regular S pen is working fine?
Today was my first full day of work with mine, and I took notes all day. I noticed the pen w/ eraser did not register all of the time on the edge of the note, while the stock pen did. No problems in the center of the note, just the edges.
Mine worked fine. I enjoyed it for it size witch made it much easier for me to hold it and use it (I have large hands).
unfortunately, I lost it.....
I use my wacom stylus from my 2007 era Toshiba Tablet PC, it has an eraser on the end and works perfectly with all the normal S-pen functions and the eraser works!

Yes, the stock pen works great. Also, like speygeek said, the problem is definitely worse on the edges of the screen than the center.
I will contact Samsung and report on the outcome.

I actually notice a difference on my S Pen w/ Eraser as well. The pen that comes with the Note 2 is noticeably better for tapping/pressing motion.
However when drawing or writing the S Pen w/ Eraser works perfectly fine.

So, I got a chance to try the pens with another Note 2. Worked fine. It appears it is my phone at fault. I found a couple other threads with similar reports but no resolution. Will contact Samsung.
Mine works fine.
I called Samsung today - the rep had me soft reset etc, I explained I had already done a hard reset, so I was transferred to the warranty department and issued an RMA # for the phone. I am not sure if I'm going to exchange it yet. Because the stock SPen works fine, I think it's fairly likely it can/will be solved with software. I have seen quite a few reports of similar issues. We'll see what happens.

Any update on this? I too purchased the S Pen with eraser and notice certain spots on the screen that won't take the signal as well as others while the "internal" S Pen works flawlessly. Changing the tip improved performance slightly but I'm still thinking about returning it (for the premium that I paid it should work perfectly!)
I had two s pens w/eraser and both were bad. Ended up with s pen with holder. Apparently the new Bamboo feel stylus works too.

Just to clarify - The S Pen with holder is the one that's in the Note II? I will probably return the one with eraser....

No, but it comes with its own S pen. You just can't swap them. Not a big deal.
The pen w/holder is designed more like the note ii s pen but is either an exact match to the note 10.1 or note I.

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)

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.

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 anyone have any experience using any of the Jot stylus'?
It is suppose to be the most accurate stylus on the market. Unfortunately I have only seen them sold in stores at Staples.
I currently have a Griffin stylus which works just fine, but I'm always looking for something more accurate.

I tried one in a store on my nexus 7, the tip is nicer than in the picture so I don't think that it will scratch like some complaints have said. Having said that, it does take a bit of pressure to register, and it makes an annoying clicking sound when you press it against the screen.

There's a sizable thread about it from the Tf101 forum here. The OP thinks (thought?) they're amazing and at least for a little while, someone from Jot posted there, answering questions and responding to issues.
I have tried many.. This one is the best of them all . but far from perfect. The jot touch Does not work with android. Boohoo. I so miss the note 10.1 tablet.
I have the Jot pro. The disk are delicate and does not work on most of the premium screen protectors. It will stick to them and not slide almost sticks solid to the screen. Get a 3.00 plastic type protector and you will do well with it.Just do not loose it as i did . My second one will be here Friday. Tomorrow .
I wish there was something that worked as well as my wacom intuios 4 .. I so love that thing...

What do you mean it doesn't work on android? It is the same as any other capacitive touch screen stylus other than that the tip is clear. It's still conducting electrons from your finger to the screen so it should work on any capacitve touchscreen device.
Edit: Oh whoops, I just realized you were talking about the Jot Touch. I thought you were talking about the Jot Pro. My bad.
I have tried them and sadly they are not that great. You easily scratch your screen and the pivot can be awkward sometimes, feeling unnatural.

It does work.. Just not correctly.. the far right of the tablet surface stops about half way across the Nexus screen in sketch pad pro.. In quill it works in portrait mode There is no way to try and set anything up . I have not tried pressure settings on quill .. I will do so now maybe ...
Just tested again since 4.2 Same issue as above But with lecture note it will now detect buttons and pressure. Someone could write a driver to make it work I am very sure now.. I would pay 150.00 for a stylus to work. Maybe even up to 200.00..

The jot i was refering to was the jot TOUCH . it has pressure sensitive but does not work with android. the company keeps saying coming soon and keeps pushing back further and further . same with the jaja x3
I'm going to pick one up later today and compare it to the cheap stylus I picked up at Futureshop.

I was writing with my pen yesterday. Just a really quick note. I went to tap the button on the spen and this happens! I owned three different Note versions but have never seen this happen. Incredible!
This is amazing, so three people so far that I have seen here have broken S-Pens? How much are these phones? And this type of thing happens? Way to go Samsung! This should not happen to a single persons S-Pen at all. As a matter of fact, that part of the device should have been made out of a metal with tiny slit windows to allow for RF transmission to the phone. Personally, I would call them up and tell them how unacceptable this is at this price point, and that they are to send you two extra pens on top of the replacement that they are going to send you. Hold them accountable.

This hasn't hasn't happened to me (yet), and I've had every previous Note without problems, but i don't know why the SPen isn't made from metal....especially since the Note 5 was a big step up in build materials.

dtaylorr said:

That is a really good number. But, I wonder how many non XDA members have had this problem?
I have not seen any one complain about the previous devices S-Pens breaking. Though, that does not mean anything. As there are non XDA members. And some of them could have broken their other devices S-Pens.
I know that the S-Pens is a heavily used part. Heck, on my 10.1 2014, Note 4 and Note 3X, all of the pens get used regularly and heavily. The worst that happened in regards to the pen is that I lost the Note 3 pen.
I do wonder about the machines that make them. If they are shut down at some point. Maybe in the gluing process. Maybe some pens don't receive enough adhesive. And then they are still passed on to the phone for shipping. I know they say that there is a quality check. But not every single product that is made gets checked. Only every so many devices per a determined amount get checked for an overall check.
Any way, just thoughts.

There is circuitry in the pen and it's possible that would not work if the pen casing is metal - as it is used for transmitting a signal to the pen...

Man alive, I've been looking high and dry for this. No idea why it's not for sale yet in the States. Been wanting this case as much as the Note8 itself.
Ditto. I've had this for my last 2 Sammys (Note7, S8) and will buy this the second it is available. Great case and the keyboard is nice to use on the train.
You can get this right now for $70 on ebay (there's exactly 1 listing of it), but it's a korean model with dual kr/en labeling on the keys.
I wonder if this would "clip on" to other 3rd party cases (i.e. UAG, Spigen, etc..
That is very cool. I've never been good at typing on virtual keyboards. This would be great to have.

I ordered and asked them about Korean. They sent a picture and yes it does have English/Korean. I'd rather not have the English shrunk to accommodate the Korean which is useless for me however it seems to me that it's not coming out here in the USA. I wasn't following the s8 when it came out, was the keyboard case released with it amongst its accessories or did it come later?
Is the keyboard cover heavy? And will it scratch the bottom of the phone a lot?
Looks interesting. Was a huge fan of the hardware keyboard on the HP Pre3.
About this Note 8 keyboard, does it work well if you have put on a tempered glass screen protector?
Also, are you forced to use the case that comes with it, or can you use it with third-party cases of similar thickness?

I just got it and they keys feel great. It will only work with the case it comes with. It won't scratch the screen and probably will work with screen protector. One flaw with Korean is the period is a dollar sign so you have to press and hold for a second and the it's a period. It's not backlit they should at least made it glow in the dark. I'll probably memorize it soon enough. Size wise it is a little smaller then the on screen smallest size Samsung keyboard. Buttons have real nice click and feel. No cursor arrows.
I figured out how to fix the period issue. So working perfect. Definitely could use backlight but hopefully soon will learn to type without looking.

I bought the Note 8. The S Pen has a problem with its responsiveness when using it. It's very glitchy and doesn't register the light writing or light touch. With a bit of force no problem and this shouldn't be as I used several earlier Notes before without any responsive problems with the S Pen!
I tried the following without solving the problem:
1. Changed several tips
2. Factory reset
Can somebody help me with this specific problem?

No screenprotector. Out of the box without anything.

It is the top of the screen which has problems with responsiveness.

Sorry to reopen this discution after soo much time but I really need help.
I am having issues with my spen. Sometimes I am using it and once I pull the pen away from the screen, lets say as we usualy do to keep taking note, the pen get stuck on, like it is still touching the screen and the result is lots of streaks on the note or it behave the other way, it wont register the pen touching the screen thus not writing at all.
I am using the original case, I tried taking it of, I am not using ring, watches or any kind of metal on me or near the phone. No screen protector either. This is just too weird.

Someone else reported a similar issue a few months ago. He even made a video of it to demonstrate. The problem is the screen, I believe. You have to send it in for repairs or to have it replaced.

magnetics and sometimes other close by devices that emit heavy static and sometimes hospitals with imaging machines cause issues.

Someone else reported a similar issue a few months ago. He even made a video of it to demonstrate. The problem is the screen, I believe. You have to send it in for repairs or to have it replaced.

Can you send me the link for the video or comment? I am trying to find it but it is not easy, too much unwanted stuff comes as result of my search.

Here's a link to the original thread. A link to the video on Youtube is also in there, as well as the process the person went through and everything.

if you dont have a magnetic back plate built into your case, then you have 3 options, new Spen for 25.00 , or send into samsung for repair 3 week turnaround, or reset to factory settings and start as new
