I made a DIY stylus from cigarette foil like a guy did in a Youtube video. It really worked great, but after a while falls apart :/

I searched Point Stylus, but I'm not really sure. Do you know what's that circle on them?

I'm probably going to give up the idea of a nice stylus for this phone. Only one idea left. Does anyone know if LG Stylo's stylus works on other devices? I asked on a forum but no one answered.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] yaibakt:
why doesnt Samsung offer a stylus pen for S line? :( what a pity.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] lujki1:
Oh, it did. But it was a fail. C-Pen for Galaxy S3 (probably works on S6 too).

But as you can see from a quick Google search it was impractical and again thick. And for the price it doesn't offer anything a 0.2€ chinese stylus offers.

Just bumping this thread. I am looking into efficient notes taking, and so I am looking into using evernote to take notes. My laptop, however, is not touchscreen, so I can't use evernote to draw diagrams. I don't own a tablet either. The only touchscreen device I have is my GS6.

So I was looking into getting a fine stylus pen to use for notes taking.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Fullmetal Jun:
A metal pen with a rounded rear end works fine. Something that you get from banks...
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Jizzylax:
My fingers work well.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] glaudrem:
Yep, and probably with anything a bit thicker than your finger (you know what I mean) you can type too. But the thing is that nor OP, nor most watchers of this thread, want to use any of our body's appendix to type/draw/pulse the screen of our phones. It is also highly probable that we have already tried those round-rubber-tap metal cylinders that you can buy for 0.15 cts at ebay, so we are looking for a more "proffesional" solution.

Seriously, it is not a problem if you cannot help in the thread, but it is way better to keep sylent than posting "help" like "try one of these cheap rubber taps from ebay" or "try with any of your body's appendix.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Illogi.xbone:
I made one a while back for an iPad. Honestly, since the features for spen are built into touchwiz, they just need to include a Wacom screen in the S series.

HOLY CRAP! I forgot I had those! Innovative suggestion!
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] glaudrem:
What would be the different between the Galaxy Sx and the Note (x-1) ?

What I would like is an active stylus that I could use with my phone and with my tablet, regarding being or not Samsung.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Illogi.xbone:
Look up Wacom. There is a film on the back of the Note screen that is not present in the Galaxy series. This is what is used by the pen. It is a different screen. If all OEMs put Wacom screens in you could take an active stylus, like the Spen, and use it on any device. My question still remains. If Samsung doesn't weed out the software for Spen why not put a Wacom screen in the Galaxy line?
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] glaudrem:
You got me wrong. I know the Wacom layer. What I mean is that if you put a Wacom layer in the Galaxy S series, there is no difference between a Galaxy Note and a Galaxy S. You will lose a bussiness line with a more specific market.

There is an intermediate solution. Bluetooth active styli aren't as powerful as S-Pen, but are way more useful than the rubber-tip cheap styli you find in ebay. question is: did someone tried one? They are a bit in the expensive part (50-100 USD) so I wouldn't go for one without a good Android review (most of them are already tested in iPads)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amahlaka:
Hi, i bought a Samsung smart led lamp, that connects using Bluetooth Low energy and MESH network to control color temperature and on/off with android app,( which haven't been updated since last year) it seems like Samsung suddenly killed this project, with no news about it, its a great and useful smart led lamp but the app is not working properly, i had problems pairing in first place as app kept crashing but after i got it to work there was no problems, until i updated my s5 from 5.0 to 5.1

after that the app loops between searching and re requesting connection to device, and every time it loops the lamp dims to show a connection attempt, but nothing else happens, so i cant get to menu, where is a option to re-initialize the lamp, ( which doesn't seem to working as well) there is no buttons on the lamp and no info about "manual reset", i tried a fresh install , a different phone and phone with kitkat, but all just crash and loop, also when i try to pair using Bluetooth menu it gives me a error: incorrect pin or password, but it doesn't ask for one, i tried the "forcestop bt share" etc but nothing seems to work, also no stop form Samsung and the email address they give in app page in play store is not in use.

also the log of crash points to : source method: FindViewUnlocked and stack trace starts with: "java.lang.illegalArgumentExpection:View=android.widget.FrameLayout{fe9f3fd V.E.... .....I. o,o-960,192} not attached to window manager"

So now for the real question: is there a way to manually reset the lamp or bypass the pin/password?

sorry if wrong subforum or etc

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowPanzer:
Totally about to give up and junk both of these tablets :mad:

So I'm having battery issues with both my original tablet and replacement tablet. The original tablet has been giving me headaches ever since I flashed Blisspop and the BitO kernel after submitting my recall. The battery is not being identified at all, constantly showing 0%. I've already flashed the dtb file that usually fixes the non-charging issues with the BitO kernal, but no dice. Flashed multiple stock ROMs and custom ones as well with varying levels of success. Sometimes the battery would be detected and act perfectly, with normal charging and everything. A few days later after discharging, it would once again show 0% and not charge. I pretty much put it to the side ever since getting my new one.

The new tablet has been absolutely fine until today, coincidentally when I felt like fixing the old one again. Its not showing that its charging but instead charging really slowly. It too has the BitO kernel (but with the Eos ROM) but already had the new dtb file, so I never bothered with flashing it. This tablet issue is more of a headscratcher as I've been using it for weeks with no issues. Full discharge, recharge, reboots; not a single problem until now.

If anybody has ideas, I'm all ears.

[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowPanzer:
Been messing with it once again and found something interesting--the device can never power down when connected to a power source (charger, laptop, etc.). I managed to fix my refurb just by flashing the new dtb file so I know the one I have works, as well as ruling out the cable and laptop.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Well AK isn't compatible with ColorOS, it's CM based so is compatible with CM ROMs. You really shouldn't be flashing things to your device unless you really know what you're doing, that's how bricks happen.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainbadger:
Hi,

I dropped my Xperia Z the other day and now the power button seems to be permanently down (recessed). The case rim below the power button (when looking at the screen) is lifted. Luckily, I can still power up/down, but now the lifted area below the power button has become the button. If I try and push the case rim back into the frame, it pops up *above* the power button. Volume controls still work though.

Obviously my waterproofing has gone, and it looks naff. Anyone seen this before? Is this easy to fix?

I always knew the power button was a weakness on this phone. Didn't think I'd hit it the first time I drop it though.

[XDA Assist] XDA Visitor:
A friend had a "look what I can do" moment and changed some things on my phone. Now the only sound that works is during a phone call. No ringtones, no audio from videos or any apps. Now there's Developer options in settings and that's new. Tried what I've read so far and no luck. PLEASE HELP!!
[XDA Assist] It_ler:
First check the volume settings.

On some devices, you can manage the volume level separately for the different sources. So you may have muted sound volume for ringtone, notifications, media, etc. but system sounds are still played louder.

Second get your "friend" and ... thank him for "helping". Maybe he can remember what he has changed exactly and undo whatever caused the sounds not to be played.

Third (if the other options are not working as expected), ask in the E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.

This is the best place for you to get proper help.

Good luck !

Also it seems the initial question becomes a quick after thought because it quickly delves into rooting questions, which I do not care about at this point.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PandaTJ35:
Ok so about the SM-N910T3 compared to my previous 910T and what I've accidentally...

Ok so a few things I've accidentally noticed about my T3.

First off, Had to get my Note 4 replaced by T-mobile 2 days ago, they said it was on backorder, so I get a brand new Note 4 direct from Samsung and then I realized the registration screens looked slightly different, so I went to the settings menu, I'm like "Something doesn't feel right" so then I found it, 5.1.1 which I tried updating my 910T 3 days ago, and wouldn't go beyond 5.0.1 THEN found out it was the N910T3 that i Had just gotten.

After careful review on my old NOTE 4 to still send back, the glass on the Note 4 curves down INTO the walls around the edge of the phone. about 0.5mm depth, on the SM-N910T3 it doesn't. It curves down, but almost PERFECTLY LEVEL to the edge walls., ALSO haven't gotten to try the GPS thing yet, but mine worked FAIRLY well always anyways.

The OTHER major thing I've noticed, and this is WITHOUT the battery, since a charged battery weighs slightly more than an uncharged one.

119g for the SM-N910T vs 123g for the SM-N910T3 == 4grams difference in weight? S-pen is the same, both with a sim card and microSD card, no battery. Hardware upgrade?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rosedog:
I said screw it in the end and ponied up to buy a new one. I swear to gawd every employee looked at me crossed eyed when I told them I didn't want to buy the Note 5.

I must have gotten the last normal note 4 then through warranty because that is what they sent me. I called Tmobile and tried to get it resolved but they told me to contact Samsung (I did) and they told me they were just going to fix my phone and I'd be without one for about 10 days.

As for differences I did notice the extra option at boot up too. My GPS seems to lock a lot faster. I will have to keep playing with it though to verify as I haven't had much time to go through it yet but I will say the Samsung Smart Switch was very nifty in getting my settings transferred over.
