I like to make a lot of notes for math / computer science subjects.
I already own a Galaxy Note 4 phone that comes with a stylus -- will this work on the Tab S2?
The S2 doesn't support an active stylus like the one with your Note. They made (make?) a Note tablet, which did.

Is there any stylus I can get separately that will work with it?

You can use a stylus, but not an active stylus and it will work much differently than an active stylus like on the Note. A normal stylus will work just like a finger.

you can use any capacitive pen (some are also called stylus/bamboo), however, none have the stylus pen technology.
the cheaper tab A model does have the S PEN technology (also stylus)
all models work with capacitive pens and your fingers, but not all work with stylus pens(these are the capacitive ones)....
please correct me if I am wrong.
I came here to ask the reason why Samsung designed the cheaper Tab A with S pen technology while the tab S2 was not.
By the way , the TAB s2 is hat...

That's what she said, but it didn't stop me from trying.
No, its much larger then the Note 2.
Here is a comparison for all three since I have them..
In size order: Galaxy Note 2 < Galaxy Note 10.1 < Samsung Pen w/ Eraser
How about this one?

Check this s pen features on the website, in the easy storage bold.
One more thing. How does the pen with eraser work compare to the stock on Note 2?
Smoother, easier?

Thanks for the pics. They certainly clarified the misinformation from Samsung's website regarding this "Durable, plastic body storable and concealed inside of the Galaxy Note II handset" according to the features section in their website.
What is the difference between that one and this one on ebay?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sam...790937?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item35c07ea119
THey are both s pen with eraser but I notice the button on both of the pens are different. The one on samsung website has a dot on its button while the one on ebay doesn't. They are both clarified as 8pi. Anybody know what does that mean? The stock pen on note 2 is 5pi I think

Shame they didn't make one to fit inside the phone. Maybe they are holding it back for the Note 3

No idea what 5/8pi mean. I've used Wacom tablets for years and I've never heard any statistic quoted as Xpi.
As far as the difference I've been trying to figure that out as well. I think it may just come down to marketing; if you search for "s pen with eraser" on Amazon one of the first couple results is the same one seen at those eBay sellers, except the item description includes a box shot. On there you can see that the pen is clearly branded as for the Note 10.1, while the one on Samsung's store is branded for the Note II. My guess is that they originally developed the eraser pen for the 10.1, never launched it outside a few countries, and then redesigned the looks slightly for the Note II.
Someone would need to test both of them but I'd strongly suspect that they're functionally identical. On top of that, there's this: (http://www.samsung.com/us/computer/laptops-accessories/AA-DP0NE2B/US which I believe is the pen for the Samsung Series 7 Slate. Looks extremely similar, and on Amazon I see that most of the reviews are from people who purchased it to use with the 10.1.
Has anyone purchased this stylus? It's 3mm thick at the tip, which is really fine. The reviews are very mixed. I'm curious how it would work on the nexus?

Nothing at all to suggest that it wouldnt work with any other capacitive touchscreen.

believe it or not the 10$ stylus Staples offers is 10/10
I've got several nice styli, but they are all typical "fat finger". I've decided to buy this one to see if the 3mm tip makes a good difference. It obviously will work, just curious how well it does. I'll report back when I get the N10 and the stylus.

I have a S3 so already have the S pen, and the only device it works with is the S3...
None of the tablets I've tried work with it as it needs a high resolution digitizer.
So don't buy one for the Nexus 10, as it won't work properly.

What? What are you talking about? The S Pen is for use in the Note series of devices with a Wacom digitizer in their screens, it doesn't work on the S3...

C Pen doesn't work with the Nexus 10
Hey so I have the Galaxy S3, the C Pen and the Nexus 10. The C Pen doesn't really work on the Nexus 10. It will at times if you press hard, but it's quite obvious it wasn't made for it. The C Pen does work on other Samsung phones like the Galaxy Nexus that I've tested it on without a problem, but the screen has to be made for it. Although the S Pen is the most accurate pen on the Notes, after that the C Pen is by far better than every other stylus in the market. So it was a shame when it didn't work on the Nexus 10. Sorry the best you can get is something like the Bamboo Stylus or the Jot series

Damn, that sucks. Eh, I'll just give it to the wife, she has an s3. The digitizer sensors are probably spread more apart on most tablets. What a shame. Guess the Note series is the best in that department.

I just received the s-pen in the mail. Beautiful build quality. Definitely does not work on the N10. I also tried it on my HTC 'rezound, HTC rhyme, hp touchpad, and fuhu nabi 2, didn't work at all. It does work great on the galaxy s3 and older fascinate....? Wonder why.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk HD
It works because of the digitizer they use for those phones. Here is a general idea of the tech behind the s-pen.

I like this idea... interesting
Looks like Asus Padfone and I now that Padfone magick works good.But Active have a cover to protect USB port,and it will be a problem for conecting to tablet.
Agreed I would assume they would change the interface design to accommodate the usb cover. Like the port would flip out so you could plug in and flip the active into holding clips.
2 problems ... the galaxy s4 active is slightly bigger than the galaxy s4 , i wonder if the dock will still fit? also, the screen is 1200 x 800 , which is lower than the the s4's 1080p display ....
otherwise, fantastic idea, i know a few people who find that windows and mac pc's are too complicated for them, and the android OS would be perfect for them... its about time that phones realized their potential as computing platforms for the masses
I would buy this.
For up to $400. If it's GOOD.
I love hardware keys. I hate onscreen keyboards.
I want this. Well, really I want an ASUS PadFone for Verizon but that will never happen because VZ sucks.
I've been looking for the sliding qwerty keyboard like the one they have for the regular s4 but no luck

The Website Q&A says that the tablet isn't compatible with the active, or the mini. But they were at least thinking about us.

Is the compatibility issue anything more than if an S4A fits or not?
If the size of the slot is the only compatibility, it might be close enough to fit the S4A with some minor modification.
id never use that, my opinion. yet it is a nice idea, but the ubuntu phone is a little more advanced

The website's reason was the size differences. So, might still work.
I just bought a Tab A 9.7 LTE specifically to use it with the S Pen. The John Lewis website showed a pen with it, but there wasn't one in the box. If I just buy one, will it work or are the S Pen versions different?

Turns out that you shouldn't buy things from your phone... on further inspection the picture of a pen is a side view of the Tab! D'oh!
The question still stands - if I buy a pen, will it work?
Sent from my SM-T555 using Tapatalk
You would need to have the tab version designed to work with the s pen I think. My tab a came with an s pen, but there is a version without it too. I dont believe the s pen works with tablets without the function designed for it. I onle own Not3 series devices so cant test, but a friend has my old tab s so i will test it next time i am visiting her and post back here if noone else can answer conclusively in the meantime.

You're right - and Samsung UK doesn't sell an LTE version with a pen. Samsung Singapore does, though - with a UK plug and pre-configured to UK English... Luckily I passed through recently...

My girlfriend got me the standard Samsung Galaxy Tab A 9.7" for Xmas & bought the S Pen separately. The store where she bought it misled her & told her it was compatible with the standard model. The Tab A that comes with the S Pen wasn't on sale at this store & I can't return it as the security seal has been broken.
The S Pen doesn't work with my Tab A but I was wondering if there is a hack or apk that would make it work. I have read that the S Pen is a Wacom device & requires a Wacom display but the tablet I have is pretty much identical to the S Pen model so it may be possible.
If not, which precision stylus would you recommend?

There are numerous pens out there for sale that work on all smart devices. A few to mention are Travelocity and Polaroid. Only $5 at Big Lot stores.

For anyone wondering, the answer was probably "No". The device that comes with the S Pen has hardware to interact with it. If it didn't come with an S Pen, it doesn't have the internal hardware to work with the S Pen.
