Jot Pro and hairline scratches on glass

I read somewhere that you need to keep the screen real clean before using the Jot. I have one and have been following this advise - so no scratches yet.

Still testing the Jot with Writepad Stylus APK and trying to use Touchscreetune to calibrate the screens sensitivity.

I wish someone who has had success getting this app to work with the Jot would document a procedure, I am having intermittent success.

Still not sure that this will be the ultimate note taking solution but seems to work better than most when it comes to palm rejection.

My question to the group has anyone found another apk with palm rejection?

Thanks,

Mike

Have you tried the settings that the guy on the Touchscreentune video is using?

I'll try tonight at home and see how it works using the "pensupremacy" and supernote.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gary_O:
LectureNotes has an adjustable palm rejection area (called a "save zone" in that app) that you can resize and position on the screen. There is a free trial version (limited # of notebooks) that you can try before getting the full version.

Might sound stupid, but for me, getting a matted screen protector helps a little bit. It adds some friction and you don't have to constantly wipe your screen. Con is when you glide your jot across the screen it makes noise, so I put some scotch tape on my disc. haha

Diagonal lines aren't really a big problem for me. As long as I don't draw super slow.

I got a roocase stylus pretty cheap on amazon. It works pretty good and have taken notes with it but it is not comparable to a pen and paper.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
I just got a Jot Mini, which is a smaller version of the Jot Pro/Jot Classic.

It works very well on my GS2 phone, but not as well as the Jot Classic on my Transformer Prime. The contact area (the disk) is significantly smaller (20-25%) on the Mini than it is on the Pro/Classic which means that unless you press down with notable force the Transformer Prime doesn't register input smoothly.

As for the light scratches that PuroKaibil mentioned some users were reporting, I haven't seen any evidence of such scratches on my Prime, and I have been using the Jot Classic for a couple of months now. I keep my screen pretty clean and regularly wipe the disk of the stylus so I guess this has helped prevent me from grinding small specs of dirt into the glass which would cause scratches.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] malaccio:
which one?

Which one works better with prime?

Targus

Griffin

Boxwave

Bamboo

aCase 2nd gen.

At the moment my choise is for bamboo... it s wrong?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
Writing & drawing implements are all personal preference. There is no definitive "Best" when it comes to styli because everyone has different needs. All you can hope for from any review is an opinion and information to support that opinion.

From the list above, I would go with the Griffin.

I glides easier across the screen than the Wacom, and requires less pressure in order to output a consistent line. It also costs about $20 less on average. (http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-GC16040-Stylus-iPhone-Touchscreens/dp/B0041D0K1Q)

However the Bamboo is heavier and feels nice in the hand. But my experience with it is that is required more pressure to make a consistent line which meant that it didn't move across the screen as smoothly as the Griffin.

Targus, Boxwave & aCase are all decent styli, meaning that they are not the worse styli you could buy, however they don't feel as nice as the Griffin and aren't as well made as the Bamboo.

I mainly use styli for sketching and I trade off between the Jot Classic and Griffin. No stylus is likely to allow you to write comfortably well on the Prime as its digitizer just isn't sensitive enough.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bart1981:
I received my Dagi stylus yesterday and I must say it works just fine!

There is a little slowdown when writing, but that's not due to the stylus I think, but due to the tablet.

The great thing is you can really see where to put your stylus on the screen because of the transparant tip.

The pen also feels quite solit. It has a nice weight and balance. It doesn't matter in what angle you keep the pen, it just works.

I also got an other stylus extra as some kind of present, but that's the 'little sister' version of the P507, the P505 to be exact. That feels real light, is to small to handel well, and I think more suited to keep with you for use on a phone instead of a tablet.

Overall I'm quite satisfied with the stylus until now, and personally I would recommand this stylus to other people.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] alias747:
Where did you order the DAGI from?

I just got my Griffin from Amazon this week and it is HORRIBLE to try to write with. One of the Amazon reviews likened the stylus to a stick with a marshmallow on the tip of it, and that is about dead on. The tip of it is way too soft to be useful for anything but tapping the screen a little bit... I am very disappointed in this stylus considering how well it was touted in here... Oh well. Send it back and try again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] john291:
I got the targus today but its also terrible to write with....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JTXDARI:
Where did you get the Dagi from Bart?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ugotproblemz:
possible screen shot?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DVDL16:
Cool thanks for returning to this thread. Screenshots, or maybe even a quick video would be nice ;) There is like ONE youtube video of the Dagi in action...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] colaglas:
I ordered this one on eBay. I guess Bart also did.

I got a extra DAGi 307 as a gift. Nice reserve stylus.

More info: DAGi website
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bart1981:
I simply ordered it on de DAGi website.

I'll see if I'm able to make a short video and put it on youtube. But unfortunately I do not have a lot of time. So it could take a few days before I have time to make the video.

But what kind of screenshots would you people like to see? It's not that I'm a great artist or something like that ;-)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
You will never be able to write well on the Prime. The digitizer just isn't sensitive enough to small movements, so you have to write very large in order to create legible letters. In my reviews of the different styli I indicated how I was using them.

Also among the "bubble-tip" style of styli, the Griffin is one of the firmer models, since it actually has a second smaller bubble inside of the larger one that touches the screen. The Targus, Boxwave and Wacom styli all either have just a hollow space, or a bit of foam in the tip for stability but they are all "mushier" than the Griffin stylus.

If you want a firmer tip, go with a Jot, Dagi or iFaraday stylus. The Jot & Dagi both use a clear plastic disk for their tips which don't work great if you use a screen protector. The iFaraday styli have larger tips of conductive cloth wrapped tight around conductive foam and are a lot firmer than the Griffin stylus but is significantly larger than the Jot or Dagi tips.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shreddintyres:
I just got my dagi in today and I must say it far surpasses my expectations after using a targus stylus (absolutely horrendous for writing but decent for gestures).

The dagi on the other hand let's me write almost as fast as I can with pen and paper granted its not as clear and does hiccup from time to time it feels solid and works well , I wiukdnt write an essay with it but for quick short notes it works great now I just need to play with touch screen tune to see if I can't improve on the experience any. If I find some settings that really stand out I will post them here.

-Cheers
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dude6595:
I want one of those but I worry about the screen being scratched cause of the tip.....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] El Che:
i know this is a bit different than the prime but it still is from asus. what is this stylus at 45 secs ?

[YOUTUBE]Rrh_EwFaZ7I[/YOUTUBE]
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shreddintyres:
Most likely the stylus that is gonna come pre packaged with the padphone
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Bart1981:
No worries. You stick a protective film on the tip. And you get 5 extra so, no need to worry. Not more then you have to do when you use your fingers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] stanglifemike:
My parents both have the Bamboo stylus that they use with their Kindle Fire. I tried theirs out a few days ago when I bought my Prime. It worked ok, but the tip just seemed a little too soft for me. Now granted this is the first time I've used a stylus on a capacitive screen, last stylus I used was the one which came with my Samsung i760 which was many years ago and again, not a capacitive screen.

All that said, I just happened to see a few iHome styli at a Ross or Marshalls store in my hometown (near Atlanta, GA). They were $5.99 each so I bought one to try out since it was so cheap. It is MUCH better then the Bamboo in my opinion. The rubber tip looks identical to the Bamboo, but is firmer an gives a much better feel when drawing, writing, just tapping the screen, or whatever, just better in every task. Also, it is an ink pen as well. I'll never use the ink pen, but some may want that or just simply find it a nice added feature. All others I've seen with a pen as well were $30 or more. Anyway, didn't see the iHome brand mentioned so I figured I'd add my 2 cents. Super cheap an I love everything about it except for the iHome name on the side :D ....rather not have "i" anything along side my Android beast, lol.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Zephyrot:
Most of the stylus don't work correctly with the Prime.

There is an easy (but paid) solution tho :) try TouchScreen Tune from the market, i ended up buying it, its just amazing how sensible the screen can be...

I'm now taking notes with a really good palm rejection feature and no issues :)

I suggest you to give it a try if you are going to use the stylus often.

Curiosity -- has anybody noticed improvement with a stylus after today's updates? I could swear lines are straighter, but I have no real comparison.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dude6595:

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
I was thinking that as well. Tested only with my finger though because i have my stylus at home.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shreddintyres:

Interesting, cuz when i compare notes in antipaper notes from before the update and after i see a big difference, maybe ive just gotten used to writing with the dagi stylus

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] humanpudding:
hey guys,

so I received my jot classic a couple days ago and first impressions were incredible, best stylus I have ever held. The clear disc took no time to get use to and it was accurate, plus it just worked unlike the other foam nibs.

However after using it for about 30 minutes it became less accurate and the TFP would only register the jot intermittently. I thought it was just because the tip needed to be replaced because it was worn out? I then tested it on my GF's Ipod to double check and it worked like it did when i first opened it which is weird. This leads me to think it must be either the TFP or android os. quite the mystery.

I am going to try the touchscreentune app to see if I can get it to work with the jot, I'll report back with what I am able to figure out.

I will post a video of this issue on youtube.

(just found out I cant post links yet hmm)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ecatsab:
Disagree

The stylus is great for precise drawing and note taking. As far as the 10 finger deal, it's good for multi-touch when needed.

I however find that I need a precise and accurate input to the touchscreen which I can't get with my gorilla hands. :p

I had downloaded JuiceDefender Plus and love the default settings you can choose from. I was wondering if anyone out there uses this app as well and has specific settings setup a certain way to give them the best battery life. My main problem I am having right now is when i use the Balanced setting or any other, if my screen is off and someone sends me a message with something attached, it doesn't download. Even when I turn on the screen and go to open the message, it just keeps saying "Downloading". So i have to have that person resend it after i shut down JuiceDefender. Anyone have any suggestions what I can change to fix it where i can still get my messages with attachments?

First of all, thanks for the heads up. I already grabbed the game, and Modern Combat 2 as well, but I'm still glad for the reminder.

This may not be the right place for this, but I notice a lot of GameLofts other games are marked as incompatible with my Evo4g, for example Nova II. My phone came with NOVA I, and as we all know, the hardware is still enviable, so what's up there?

Can the fact that someone is running a custom ROM cause the market to view their phone as incompatible with products it could initially run? Can anyone else download NOVA II from the market?

[HTC Desire S] mikep1993:
Hello,

my girlfriend got her new HTC Desire S 2 weeks ago. I have one since it is available in our country. I rooted it and put the same ROM (the newest Galnet from MIUI) on both devices.

The first thing we noticed was the different color saturation of the devices, which is not that big deal (perhaps someone has a solution?).

But a really annoying thing is that on my girlfriends phone the camera app is not able to preview everything like it should. It only updates the screen if some user interaction is done. Touching the screen, ... . If i open the camera app the same thing happens, it even records only 1pic (or less) each second.

I restored the backup but with the original ROM everything is working. Reflashing of MIUI or using another version doesn't solve that problem.

I hope someone has a good hint or a solution for that problem?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Desire S] mikep1993:
Hardware acceleration?!

We also found out that she is not able to watch videos. They look like a slideshow. 1 image a second or less....

It seems that there is a problem with the hardware acceleration?

I did a full wipe (i even formated system / data / cache) so nothing from an old rom can cause this problem.

Are there different chips build into our HTC Desire S. or what can cause these problems?

I hope someone can answer these questions. Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Mike

Did you had the same problem before you switched the ROM?

I had the problem with slow SD card. Video play was quite smooth but sometimes it was not synced with audio. When I changed SD card to class 10 from class 2 its muuuuch better.
[HTC Desire S] mikep1993:
I am pretty sure it's not the sd because youtube videos are lagging too, and they are cached in the RAM (i think). Camera and video preview are also lagging and the preview itself has nothing todo with the sd card too.
