it has to be something that can transfer heat because of it being a capacitive touch screen it has to sense a touch through heat I believe not too sure if its correct but Im pretty sure its correct
 
Heh, funny. I was wondering why I couldn't get my phone to work while I was wearing gloves. Had to freeze my poor fingers off at 9500ft without gloves to post on Facebook. Now I know :)
 
No no, not heat. It detects the flow of electrons, which the skin can conduct. Its based on this Capacitive coupling - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ahh yeah that too lol mine goes off of heat its special lmao! just messin

what I did got a simple laser pen I found around my house then a thumb tack ripped the colored part of the thumb tack off put the thumb tack where the pen would switch out of and boom you got a perfect stylus for android although you may nay use the pen aspect ever again :( but if its dead it doesn't matter :D
 
this works so well and yet its so elegant a Capacitive touch stylus a regular stylus a pen and a laser it works flawlessly just make sure when you are using it to unlock your phone that its fully on. I'll show ya a good video demo
 
oh and if you don't have a screen protector you risk scratching your phone using this but its common knowledge to always get a screen protector if you want it looking its best.
