Is it possible to use SM-T580 with S-Pen ?

Thread starter qsd88

Hello,
I have a SM-T580 and I wonder if it's possible to use it with S-pen or another fine tip pen?
The SM-T580 and the SM-P580 have the same hardware, flasher the SM-T580 with the firmware SM-P580 could work?

Actually, the hardware isn't the same. The S-Pen version comes with 1GB more RAM, and I tried to use the S-Pen from a P-580 on a T-580, without luck :|

Thank's
The difference in RAM also exists between the SM-t550 and the SM-P550.
I do not think that the amount of RAM affects the S-PEn, or there is another hardware element that allows the use of the S-pen or it is only a software difference

The S-Pen from P-580 will not work on T-580 because it does not have the Wacom stylus technology in it however it will on any Galaxy Note smartphones. If you need the best stylus pen, you should buy the Galaxy Tab A 10.1 with S pen or wait for the new Galaxy Tab S3 with S pen to come out.

So the Wacom stylus technology is not just software ?

Correct, there probably a sensor chip that allows u to use the stylus.

No, it is a detection layer that covers the entire screen (transparent, like the capacitive layer that detects finger touches).

There is a much bigger difference than the size of the RAM. Tablets equipped with S-Pen have a special mesh screen behind the LCD screen to detect the pen's position. The T580 doesn't have that screen like the Galaxy Note tablets or some iPad models do. So, no, a fine tipped electronic stylus will NOT work with one.

Read this article to understand how the S-Pen work, then you should not expect the S-Pen to work with no S pen tablet.

SM-P580 and SM-T580 almost identical except S Pen, however the firmware is not interchangeable.
Try it, Odin will fail immediately as it detect wrong firmware.

Well NONE of the answers were able to tell what to do with a SAMSUNG tab that is NOT equipped with a stylus pen by default, in order to handwrite on it.

So the question might be, if someone by mistake bought a SAMSUNG tab like SM-T585 assuming that it should be interactive with any available stylus SAMSUNG pen, then what is the model of the Stylus Pen from SAMSUNG or any other brandnames that might be compatible with his selection.

How you use the pen when tablet's LCD is not designed for it ? You cannot expect a gasoline car can run by both battery and fuel like a hybrid one.
An electromagnetic field is generated from a circuit behind the screen. The S Pen picks this up and uses it to power itself and figure out its position relative to the screen. It sends this, along with information from the S Pen button and the nib at the end, back to the Note.

Very simple answer to what he can do, trade the tablet in on one that has the HARDWARE necessary to detect an S Pen. There IS NO stylus that will work with any "T" model tablet that will produce fine enough lines for "handwriting".

the samsung universal stylus should work perfectly with this model .

Oem stylus touch screen pen for galaxy tab a 10.1 (2016) p580 & p585 {in compatibility it had the model letter t in front of the 580/585 . Running at au$10.49 on ebay right now .

The day i got my tab i was comfortably using a cheap arse "papermate inkjoy stylus" . Was old and the nub was deteriorated so i upgraded .

If you have any issues with any s pen download an app called write on pdf and it should solve compatibility .

There's the answer you want mate , all the pretentious c♡nts with their non-answers ? , these other wankers probably work for samsung sales department ???

No it doesn't. The S-Pen only works on Note tablets or on ones with a P instead of a T in the model number. The samsung universal stylus mentioned in the previous post is NOT an S-Pen. Check on eBay and you'll find it is a CAPACITIVE stylus which is NOT the same thing as an S-Pen. The S-Pen is a Wacom electronic stylus that requires a fine mesh screen behind the LCD to detect the pens position. Neither the T580 or T585 contain this hardware.

Sorry mate, but you are totally WRONG!!! :rolleyes:

Neither the papermate or the samsung universal sylus is an S-Pen replacement. They are both CAPACITIVE touchpens that will never give you the fine lines that an S-Pen will. Calls us all the names you want, but we know what we're talking about. YOU DON'T!!!

Agreed.
T and P versions definitely have different touch screens.
Even if you could run the P firmware on the T version it wouldn't have Spen functionality.

Can you use the S Pen from the S3 tablet on the P585?

I am keen to buy the cheaper tablet but want to get a better feeling pen than the thin S Pen that comes with the P585.
