    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?

    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?

    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?

  • @agungwicaksono5459
    @agungwicaksono5459 11 років тому +2

    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

  • @SustainaBIT

    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!

    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~ :)

  • @thivu3891
    @thivu3891 10 років тому

    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.

    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?

    • @milykong
      @milykong 9 років тому

      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!
