    what mobile phone is it?

    The reason I ask is that most modern mobiles use capacitive touch screens, so you will a capacitive stylus, the old resistive styli won't work for the same reason why you can't use the touch screen with gloves on.

    Just checked for you and the Samsung Galaxy Mini does have a capacitive screen so a capacitive stylus will be needed.
