I've looked around and got stuck playing Draw Something rolleyes
But the screen is not designed for perfect drawing with fingers (I am not fat). So I've decided to get a stylus, does anyone else have one, which one is best recommended for value, quality and accuracy?

I would like to know this too. Searching for one as well.
Same here. I want a stylus with a small tip for drawing. All others I see has no tip at all and I find no difference in using that or fingers.

I have the Adonit Jot Pro... not cheap but worth every penny. I actually have 3, one for my iPad, one for using with the SGS2 and my Dell Streaks and one for using with my TouchPad
Any link where you got that??
Big Than To Codeworkx and the Cyanogenmod Team
I use Wacom Bamboo stylus for iPad as well for Galaxy S II. It is responsive and has a good built.

Can one by such conductive stylus and simulate Note usage? I know it's not the same but just thinking if I could write notes with it for example?

You won't get anywhere near the accuracy of the Note's EMR pen. But sure, you could do it.

Right! That is a serious issue! Screen contamination can be permanent and void you warranty. #sarcasm

It is possible to make a stylus with high accuracy. Just need the right materials.

I have not tried these but they supposedly work ok. I'm sure the accuracy is nothing like the one in the Galaxy Note though.
I have a few capacitive styluses that I use on my Asus Transformer. I bought them from ebay for a few pounds each and they work very well especially in graphic design apps such as Sketchbook Express.
Worthy addition to any capacitive screen.

Are they like the ones I posted? There are many different designs so some are probably crap while others are pretty good. Would you happen to have a photo of the one you think is best?

Ten One Design make some pretty good capacitive styli. I used their Pogo Sketch with my phone for a while and it was excellent - but drawing on a 3.7" phone just isn't any good so I gave it to my mother (who has an iPad 2.)
As for Deal Extreme, I tried one of these: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/aluminum-alloy-touchpad-stylus-pen-for-apple-ipad-ipad-2-black-57797, and it worked. It was pretty crappy though.
U can check out the adonit jot & jot pro (Check my sig)... in my opinion it's the best out there. Also theres the Writepad Stylus app for handwritten notes, also the best of the best!!!

I want a stylus for drawing in the phone, anyone got any recommendations?

There are lots of capacitive styli out there...you'll find plenty of online reviews. The main differentiator (besides cost) seems to be how thick the tip is.

This is exactly my idea. I personally don't care for them, but I do have one for my larger iPad. I have one from BoxWave which I bought on Amazon for about $10. It's nice and sturdy and was only about $10.
Or make your own:

If you're planning on doing a lot of drawing with a stylus, can I go out on a limb and recommend a galaxy note instead? It's got an amazing wacom surface which makes using a stylus much much more precise and usable from what I've read.
Not major amounts but I'd like to be able to do some on my phone every now n then, acase have got one called acase freehand which looks quite good for drawing

I saw these stylus pens on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Capacitive-Cellphone-Motorola-BlackBerry-AMM0101US/dp/B0053NBLFW/ref=pd_cp_cps_1....looks like it works with different smartphones. It could become handy for doodling etc..
Anyone ever tried one before? Or could recommend a decent one? TIA
I bought a 6pack of capacitive stylus, they work on my et4g, evo, and kindle fire, and they work better than my finger. I use em for taking notes on my phones and drawing on the fire, or phone if I'm really bored while waiting for an appointment at work.

I bought the black one at Staples for $14.99.
Thanks for the info guys! Definitely gonna go buy one then...or a pack. I've been playing Draw something (addictive) game, and it's difficult to use your finger to draw anything.. Lol. Plus I think it's a good accessorie to have..

I only got the 6 pack cuz we got 5 androids in the house and a Samsung series 7 windows tablet so each device got it's own stylus and I have 2 with my kindle fire cuz one of the Androids is a note so its got its own super pimp s pen that thing is cool as hell, u cab draw/write with one side and erase with the other and it learns multiple styles so if more than one person uses it it will adjust to each persons style based off of small things like angle its held against the screen and pressure used to contact the screen, but that's wacom for you they have some seriously sophisticated touch pen technology, If the note/journal or something similar comes to sprint it may just be my first Lte device

Monoprice has those too for very cheap

be careful when using those when you write on an angle though, you can scratch your screen if you press too hard with the metal part
Is anyone using stylus with our phone? Which one you use?
I tried Notes stylus and it didnt work.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
The Note stylus ONLY works with the Note, thanks to it's active digitizer.
I'm using an Adonit Jot Mini on my S3, and even then only when I feel like doodling or annotating stuff. For serious stylus work the screen is not precise or fast enough IMHO.
Maybe it'll be better with JB and Butter.
Does the Note's S Pen work with the Galaxy S3?
Nope, s-pen is an active digitizer. There isn't the same tech/hardware in the g3 as there is in the note
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Go on eBay and search Galaxy S3 stylist, and you can get one that works for the S3. The price range is $. 99 to $29.99. They have some almost identical to the Notes S pen, for one just like that you are looking at around $29.99

That same pen is cheaper on eBay though.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
There is nothing for the S3 that will be comparable to the S-pen on the note. The C-pen is decent, but it's not going to be as precise, or responsive as the S-pen.

Is the c pen more accurate than one of those ball tipped sylus pens? I have one of those and it writes very broad lines
Click to expand...

The c pen is definitely more accurate than the ball stylus pens due to the slim tip so you can actually see where you are writing. The only problem with the c pen is that it will occasionally not register as touching the screen.
I bought one because I take a lot of notes using S memo and I had an extra $20 bucks laying around lol. So if you can spare the cash I would reccomend it over the ball stylus pens but just know that it will only work for the s 3
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Either that or i'd just get an Adonit Jot stylus....
I just use one of the ones that have a rubber ball at the end.
C-pen didn't work out for me, because it's design a little bit fat. I guess, that's the only way to have stylus is to buy Galaxy Note Series . And also they have wacom grid, which can sense pressure.
good info

C pen is so expensive. How little are you really gonna be clicking? S3 doesn't have the special touch screen built in like the note so the pen gets bigger or smaller from how hard you press anyway. Any cheap stylus will work great. I got a laser, flashlight, chrome pen, and stylus in one for like 6 bucks at Monoprice. Works better than I dreamed.

lol oh man almost a year later, but here it is http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=112&cp_id=11201&cs_id=1120105&p_id=9719&seq=1&format=2
At least now I can give a mini review. It works great as a pen and I use it whenever I have to sign something. Stylus tip still works fine and always has no problem with responsiveness. Only thing that sucks is the flashlight and laser died fast. It's all chrome and black so it still looks nice, but I have no idea how to put a new battery in. I even called and asked them, but how they said to do it was still impossible.
