Samsung C = Wacom Stylus
Nexus 7 = Capacitive screen, no wacom digitizer.
Not gonna work. But any other capacitive pen will.

Wrong. The S3 pen is just a more expensive capacitive pen, you may be confused with the Galaxy note.
FWIW; I just tried my original S3 pen and it DOES work perfectly on the N7 - which is interesting because it does NOT work on the Transformer Infinity or Gnex.
Like ScottC said C-Pen is a capacitive stylus.
S-Pen is a wacom stylus.
Having tried the C-Pen. Way to over priced for a capacitive stylus that only works on some capacitive screens.
The elago stylus is pretty good in my opinion

Ah, I must have googled it wrong, when I looked I found the Galaxy Note 10.1. I know Samsung was putting out a "special" stylus for it. Ah well.

Weird its been a pain on my N7, works fine on the s3 as it should but I bought because it said it was compatible with other devices.
Was pretty much unuseable on skitch on my n7 with stock rom. its a bit better now on PARANOIDANDROID
I have a PadPivot stand that I originally purchased for my Nexus 7, but it also works well with the Galaxy Note II as a simple desktop holder. It's great if you want to have a dedicated spot for your phone and/or tablet on your desk without leaving it lying around somewhere. It's also pretty cheap at $5-$7. See here:

I've attached some pictures of it with my Galaxy Note 2 and my Nexus 7 for reference. It will also work with 10" tablets as well.
I'll have to pick this up for my GN2
Thanks
Did someone already used a Wacom Bamboo Stylus Solo/Duo/Pocket with his SGC ? (Bamboo Stylus Fell seems to be only with Note Model)
On google Play you can find an app named Bamboo Paper (Wacom Co. Ltd.) not compatible with SGC.
Need your reply !
Thx
Sv: Galaxy Camera and Wacom Bamboo Stylus Solo/Duo/Pocket
All capacitive styli (ie models for iPad, iPhone and normal Android devices) should work without any problem.
The Feel-series, however, uses an entirely different technology (pressure sensitive technology that is used in graphics tablets) and does not work on any device that does not include that technology.

Thx for your reply
Hi there... probably not available but what the heck... why not throw out the question?
Is there an S-pen accessory available for the Tab S2? Something smarter than the thick ugly pens with soft tips.
Brgds... /Tubgirl
There is not. What allows the S-pen to work the way it does is hardware in the Note phones/Pro tablets, not software.
Hi
Look for Dot Tek Dot Pen. ..thé Best solution for stylus
Looking for serious note users. Was wondering the best s pen to use for longer writing sessions. I have tried the one with my note 12.2 pro and the one with my note 8.0 . Looking for some ideas. I thought I saw someone using the tab 3 s pen in a thread but I can't seem to find it. I like the larger style better for sure, for longer writing sessions.
Thanks
Maybe surface pen will work?

My tab s3 s-pen works.
Steadler pen/pencil
Any Wacom Digitizer pen will work .. eveny my 1st Gen surface pen works
Apple Pencil maybe ?

Sorry could not resist.
But seriosly the Apple Pencii is really great. I use it at work together with my iPad. It is close to normal writing on paper
From past experience not all wacom pens are fully compatible
The wacom stylus feel for galaxy note is compatible, same size and diameter as a full length pen, very hefty (weight and size), has a mechanical feel to it, ironically i personally never did like how it felt in the hand.
The wacom smart for galaxy note is also compatible, have not tried this one so no personal experience
And finally the s-pen from the galaxy tab S3, which actually is a really nice pen, it's about 3/4 length of a standard pencil, though it's feels a little light in the hand it has a really nice textured finished on the whole barrel (feels like rubber). I personally think it's size and weight is perfect for the note 8.
Been doing some research on this as well. Wacom Styluses using EMR technology will work on our Notes, but not newer technology. This is why only the first and second generation Surface pens work, but not the 3rd generations or newer. The newest Wacom Intuos styluses will also not work.

For the note line of devices Wacom actually uses what they term as "penabled" technology, only penabled compatible devices will work (these tend to be screens that support both capacitive touch and EMR pen). Gen 1 and 2 surface pro were using wacom penabled tech, microsoft brought N-Trig and used that tech for gen 3 onward (it's actually an active pen which requires AAAA batteries to work).
samsung XE700T1A slate 7 line had a full size pen (though some what slim), it was lightweight and had an eraser on the end (note 8 does not seems to recognize the function and acts like a pointer, but have not exhaustively tested against all apps). The Fujitsu lifebooks ive been told supported a pen with 2 buttons, but not had opportunity to test these out. Other notable makers are Asus with it's EEE Slate (full size pen) and lenovo (mini pen, slightly smaller than the galaxy tab S3)
Just a reminder for the OP: when using 3rd party pens, make sure to turn off "Spen detection" in power saving settings. The Note will ignore pen taps when that is enabled and an Spen is in the silo, so you'd think that the new pen is not working.

Oh.... That's what happened. I was wondering why it wouldn't work without the original s pen removed.
Thanks!!

But wouldn't keeping the screen energized for s-pen at all times, use extra battery power? And let me say from the beginning I have no idea if it's substantial amount or not to even worry about.
Yes keeping the screen active will drain some battery, though I don't think by very much as it will still sleep when screen sleeps.
Can also confirm eraser on the Samsung slate 7 pen will work as an eraser if the app can accomodate, sketchbook, Samsung note and artflow will utilise eraser, surprisingly OneNote and Photoshop sketch does not
Got the tab 3 s pen yesterday , what a difference. Feels good and no cramps after lots of writing. I would put up with the Note 8 being a bigger phone if they could fit this full size s pen in it! Today will see how much battery it uses since I set the the phone ro always detect so I don't have to pull the original s pen out.

Ok also got the steadler pencil as well. Works great, a little larger but just like holding and old school pencil. I really like both! Also , after 2 days now, I can tell no difference in battery life leaving the phone set to always detect s pen. I couldn't find a specific item in the battery menu that looked like the wacom screen, but really still awesome battery.

Which one do you prefer nuclearrage? Found no comparison of these 3 together!
- Samsung Galaxy Note 8 s pen
- Samsung Tab S3 s pen
- Steadler digital pencil
I also own a Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 and just love it! I use a S Pen Holder Kit so that if feels like a real pen. It has a et-s100ewegstd S Pen, which is the 1st S Pen ever released for the Note 1. I like it a lot, but not as precise as the original S Pen that comes with the note pro 12.2.
Would also the 2 other Samsung s pens work with the 12.2 ?
Thanks!

I don't know what u need the all this writing for but if u use it for school or work then I would use a tablet. I still got my beloved note 10.1 tablet and use it at work for quick notes for my daily report.
I wouldn't use a phone for lots of writing as it's too small to write longer S.A's and I can only imagine the annoyance of doing so.
Maybe keep an eye out if Sammy releases a new note tablet in the future if you find the note 10.1 to outdated.
Not that the above has anything to do with spen alternatives but just my two cents.

I have a note 12.2 , not waterproof and doesn't fit in my pocket. I use the spen for lots of notes , work and play. I also have little rite in the rain notepads when I am really roughing it. Just a personal preference.
