So that style pen does not work on anything else other than a Samsung device?? Is there any other style pens with a tip as fine as this but would be compatible with say, my Nexus phone?
he already explains it, the hardware to power up the s pen is inside a note only, so it will not work with an s4 because there is no electromagnetic field being generated
I've been trying to find this information. Thought that there was maybe some battery and an inductive charger and a radio transceiver. Doesn't quite explain how data is transmitted. Is there a chip in the pen that regulates a pulse to provide pressure feedback and button state? Is it analog or digital? 3d Diagrams with cut outs?
Why does the s-pen that came with my samsung note 1 not work with the galaxy s3? I realise that my models are ancient, but still. I'm curious. Also, would it be alright if I bought a stylus for my galaxy tab t311? Would I be able to use the swype keypad well with the stylus?
Great job! Very informative!! I have a pen from a laptop back in the 90s when touch screen tablets and styluses were cool, and it still works great with my note 10.1!
my feedback ::: the video is really great, because now I can understand why it doesn't work on other phones, that don't have spen with it, it's a special pen that works only with specific phones that have that magnetic field, what a great piece of info to know, by the way, you should say that it uses wacom technology!... My Regards
I forgot to ask if you use the S.pen alot does it eventually break or wear down till its unusable because I will never need it cause I don't use my S.pen but seams like in box there was a little bag with tweezer looking tool and it also had 5 little tips that I guess are for replacement? Guess I'm just wondering if it wears out or breaks over time.
Hi there! I really love your channel. You are the only "android only" tech channel i follow. I loved this video because it's one thing, short neat and clear unlike your on air episodes! I think you should stop those more than one hour long videos and get in to the short and one thing only videos. For example the video on which you compare ios 6.1 to android 4.2 is way too long! It could be shorter, much shorter so it could be less boring or let's say more fun. This one is perfect and watchable!
Hey Chris, It would acctually be nice to have more of these videos. It is very interesting. Perhaps you could talk about new technologies that will actualy be used in smartphones in the future. Thanks.
Definitely love the video. But would definitely like to know how exactly does the circuitry of the s pen look like. Would be looking forward to videos like this one
Loved this video. More technical videos like this would be great. As others have said a little more detail would be nice, but I understand that might take a lot more work and time. So I understand if you do not.
Nice video. Here's a tip. Hire an animator or graphic artist to do some animated plain vector graphic in motion, projecting the explanation you are telling your audience.. just like when you were in in elementary school and your teachers show you these how to videos with cool animated vector graphic moving around. It is very simple to do and you will definitely get the point across a lot easier, even if you get really technical with your description or explanations. People are often very visual in sense this is why if you get too elaborate in (words), you will confuse a lot of people when you get too technical. Hope that helps.
I bought Samsung Note 10.1 2 weeks ago, I found a lot of S Pen function than this.. @ 1:15 u can see S Pen has a button, if you press it @ Popup Note it can change from pen to eraser or from eraser to pen without clicking @ the icon pen/erase.. n @ S Note when u can press the button, S Pen can automatic change from eraser become pen.. and many more~ :)
I like it, actually, there is layer before the screen that generate that magnetic field and recieve the signal from the spen. I would like to know more about screen technologies, and eMMC sudden death, brick bug of samsung devices. Thanks
How does the the "book cover" case for like the s3 or tab 3 or note 8.0 turn on and off the screen when you open or close the screen cover? and why do knock off case that look the same not do anything to the screen? Sorry badly worded.
Yes we like videos like this and want more but at the moment I don't know what exactly I want to see... when is the next update going to be available for the galaxy note 2 for Sprint?
Hi i have a note 2 and im having a problem with my s pen coz it doesnt work on my note2 but the s pen work on others note2... what should i do? thanks and more power...
Hi Kris, a week ago I encountered a problem with my s-pen in my GN2 device. When i draw straight lines, it appears crooked; the pen won't write at the far side of the screen; and it sometimes write and sometimes won't. What could be the problem? I tried googling but couldn't find any solution. Maybe you can help?
Cañete Herbie I had the same problem in the past, I assume you may be using a case that has a magnet in it? Since it generates an electromagnetic field, it is affected by magnets close to you. If yes, try without the case!
i really liked the vid. and i would love it if you explained how the capacitive screen works. i personally know that its working by electrically discharging capacitors. but there are many people who think for some reason, that it detects heat! i would love to ave a vid to refrence every time someone asks me about it
Compare writing with an S Pen on a Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablet with writing on paper with a pen or pencil(e.g. for a student, can the former practically replace the latter)?
Lot of explanation is still missing. How does the screen pick up the s-pen input? SPEN has internal circuit and all that is okey.. it gets powered by the circuit around the screen by EMF is a good point to know. but how does it work on the screen? also, how is the note intelligent enough to recognize spen input vs normal finger input.?
