Today I lost my stylus :( sh**.
I want to use another thing instead of stylus unless i buy a new stylus.
Please don't tell me buy a new styus now because i live in a stupid city which no one ever heard of ppc so finding a new stylus here is waste of the time.
Can i use a hard pencil instead?any idea??? please help,it is so urgent....

I have used a mechanical pencil before,
just make sure the lead is not sticking out to prevent scratching and writing on screen.

You can use a dead ball point pen. Also, why not buy online?

Nintendo ds stylus?

A long cooks match?

The inside of a clipper lighter?

or just make you phone finger friendly with all of the programs available on this great site!

A simple ordinairy carbon pencil will do just fine.
Choose a soft one,(BB or 00 pr something) it don't hurt the screen, it can only lubricate it with carbon :)
And this You normaly find in every store around the world. 8)

Sometimes when I had left my stylus at home when I went to school,
I had used the point of one of these mechanical pencils,
Image
The plastic is a little softer than my stylus,
so it didn't do any damage to my phone.
I just made sure there wasn't any lead sticking out to prevent scratches and writing on the screen.

They're fine as long as the led isn't popped up obviously. BIC pencils work great for everything (they used to be great staple guns in 4th grade) :P

HAHAHAHA I remember that.

When I use to smoke weed and didn't have anything to smoke I would make a homemade bong,
and use a bic pencil for the downstem. :D
I would take the cap over the tip off,
and then break the part the lead comes out of so the guts can be removed,
cut the gut piece in half,
and then take a 20 oz soda bottle and poke a hole in the middle,
stick the outer bic pencil part in the bottle,
and then take the cap to the bottle and cut a hole big enough for
the spot where the eraser goes on the gut piece of the pencil,
and then connect those two pieces.
and then if wanted cover bowl in tin foil.
and there you have yourself a home made bong with a removable bowl.
:D
Now if only I could use that kind of creativity for something that can make me money.
hahaha.
