Hi,
I have a tab 4 (sm-t230 Not tab s4) and I'm looking for a stylus pen which I can draw with and create art - does anyone know of any compatible pens? I just wanted to try it out on my old tablet first before I invest on a more expensive one?
Thanks

Looking for suggestions on how to connect G.TAB 10.1 GT-P7510 to the TV...
I know there is one for the Ipad 2, but I dont think it has the same connector..
is there anything released for the G. TAB 10.1 ???
Samsung has the HDMI cable
Galaxy Tab™ Adapter (HDTV)
EPL-3PHPBEGSTA
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab/GT-P7510MAYXAR-accessories
I take it, the adaptor for the galaxy tab (GT-P1000 OLD VERSION) will work on
the GT-P7510 GALAXY TAB 10.1 .
tnx 4 letting me know.
the HDMI adapter for the 10.1 isn't available yet
Will the adaptor for the 1st galaxy tab work ??
Looks like Expansys has the EPL-3PHPBEG in stock. $37.99 + tax, shipped. 2% CB is available if you're an FW member. I can't post links yet, but go to their site and search the model number, and you'll see it.

Hello everyone,
I found it very strange that Samsung developed a wonderful device like the galaxy tab 10.1 without including the option of having a stylus with it. I think this is not a technological problem, because they have later developed a smaller device (the galaxy note) with a stylus (SPen).
Anyways, I have two questions that I would greatly appreciate if anyone can answer them:
1- Is there anyway to force the galaxy note's SPen to work on the Galaxy Tab 10.1?? May be a "naive" solution is to copy somehow the Note's ROM to the Tab?
2- Does anyone know if Samsung will develop a newer model of the tab 10.1 with a stylus/SPen?
Thanks in advance.
No, nope, never ever ever.
The S-Pen uses a Wacom digitiser layer in the screen that detects the pens presence hovering above the screen. In other words it is a hardware thing.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 does not have this digitiser layer and so can never use the S-Pen.
Hope that answers your question!
Thank you guys for your QUICK replies
Why I need a stylus with the tab? Well, beside the usual stuff (internet browsing, etc), I want to use the galaxy tab to review PDF articles/papers (e.g. this article). These articles usually use small font size (less than 12). I need a stylus with a fine tip to write my notes on these articles while reading them. The types of stylus that exist in the market (e.g. the Amazon link above from joemill) have a huge tip that prevents writing notes accurately. In addition to having a fine tip, the SPen also provides other great features with its side-buttons that I hoped I could use with the tab.
Now based on your answers, I should not be waiting for Samsung to release a tab with a wacom digitizer layer, right? and if this won't happen, can someone suggest an alternative solution?
Update:
After Googling for awhile (after knowing that GalaxyNote uses Wacom digitizers - thanks chaosdefinesorder), I found that there are some tablets out there that have Wacom digitizer layer (or a similar technology): (1) Lenovo ThinkPad (Android - 10.1 inch screen), and (2) Asus Slat (Win 7 - 12.1 inch screen). The main problem with them compared to the Galaxy tab is that they are heavier and larger in size.
Why can't Samsung just integrate this technology in their tablets >:-(
It would be nice if samsung would add this capability to their next version of the Galaxy Tab. I use mine for taking notes and marking up PDF files in meetings. Can you suggest a PDF editor that works well for the 10.1 Galaxy tab in the meantime?
There are many of us 7.7 owners that would love to have the S Pen or Atmel mxts100 stylus. The following was done on the new Note 2, the possibilities would be endless if it were possible on our 7.7.

Hi XDA people! I got a Tab Pro 10.1 as a gift a year back or so, I've been enjoying it with games or playing HD movies on my TV with HDMI adapter. I've also used it to study a lot, mainly just read while in bed. Very comfortable way to get A:s on your exams. However for the next semester I'm going to have to do way more written work, essays and such. This semester has only been exams so haven't really had any need for a case/keyboard. I've Googled a bit and found absolutely no case with integrated keyboard that fits the 10.1, nor do I think it might be the best idea to get as I need to do a great deal of work next semester.
I was wondering if it's at all possible to get a case the tab pro 10.1 and then a seperate keyboard for it? Or should I just invest into a laptop? I'm very greatful for any tips I can get!
Regards /Rob.
Samsung has neglected the Tab Pro 10.1
Unfortunately, I've been in the same boat as you. Looking for a year now for a folio/keyboard case for my Tab Pro 10.1.
There exists some options on eBay but nothing specifically made for the Tab Pro 10.1. I even considered a Logitech Keyboard case made for the Tab S since the dimensions were so similar but in the end i decided against spending $99+ on something that probably wouldn't fit right.
I've given up that search and opted out for a stand alone keyboard. I've tried several Belkin models and i'm now expecting a keyboard from WayTools called the Textblade. Very slim and portable. I plan to make this tablet and keyboard my daily drivers for School/Work.
Does anyone have or tried a brydge keyboard? They have various sizes and I don't see why 1 wouldn't work w the Tab S4 since they're all bluetooth but really would want one of them w a trackpad.

Based on the spec comparison of the Galaxy Tab S4 vs Ipad Air (2019) https://www.phonearena.com/phones/size/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-S4,Apple-iPad-Air-2019/phones/10814,11156
It looks like the brydge keyboard for that ipad will fit. Not sure about the hinges being too tight or interfering with the screen though. If brydge had a touchpad I would consider it but if it's just a keyboard then meh.
Still, if anyone does give it a try, please let us know, thanks.
They do have a touchpad version, that's why I was wondering! Hopefully someone will share if it's worked.

I have the new Brydge 10.5 for Surface Go2. It pairs with bluetooth but the trackpads does not work. Keyboard works but the most important trackpads does not.
