I am in desperate need of a good efficient Microsoft compatible office program on my Streak. QuickOffice came preinstalled, but I cannot seem to upgrade to the full version (so it only reads pdfs). Also when I press the buy now button on their website, it pulls up marketplace and says it was not found. I have a support ticket open on their site, but so far no useful responses.
Is anyone else having this problem? Or can anyone recommend a program for reading word and excel (and maybe powerpoint)?
Another bizarre thing is that a developer (who I sent a message to saying the Streak does not display their app right) came back saying "due
to it's irregular screen size the graphics for the game don't quite fit". 800x480 is not irregular. Maybe the screen does have a higher resolution which is being scaled down like fards mentioned.
Company in Question: http://www.quickoffice.com/
.
Have you looked at documents to go?
Also I think the screen size is down to the dpi, they are using 160 dpi on the streak, don't think that's too common.
Well i had a good look around the tinternet for you and have to say there is not much out there office wise for the android
Like fards said documents to go is one but it says will not support office 2010 so from what i can see the one we have Quick office seems to be the best
Now i went to the marketplace found the quick office clicked buy now and it took me to the google checkout did you get that far ?
I reckon Quick Office, without copy & paste, is pretty redundant, that's a big & basic hole for a document editor, if it was the only option then I guess it'd still buy it and pray for an update!
Hi Fards, I'm about to purchase documents to go, I didn't know it existed for Android. I need it for creating and editing word and excel documents and then emailing them, do you use it, and are you happy with it for those basic tasks?
Regards,
Matt
Thanks for the feedback. It just seems like QuickOffice is the best solution currently out.
For the time being I may go with Documents To Go, thanks for the suggestion fards
@lufc
I cannot find it in the marketplace. Likewise, when I use my barcode reader from their website it says the app cannot be found. The same happens when I press the buy now button on the web page from my Android phone.
My Dell Streak is running Android 1.6 build 3562
Still no response from QuickOffice support.

Muo is it quickoffice that you cannot find,maybe because you are in the us and have a different build to me,

I have a need for spreadsheet on the Streak and I compared the lite trial versions of both Documents To Go and QuickOffice. I decided that Documents To Go was much better.
Now that I have it I am blown away by its pdf capabilities whereby it word wraps the text so goodbye to terminable side to side scrolling. Amazing.
Having registered my intention to try it out, DataViz offered me the suite for $9.99 which is cheap enough so that I don’t need to compromise my ethics over it. You could say at that price it is a steal anyway - pun intended.
I use the paid for version of Docs to go and it really is good. I have used the word to go to amend work docs on the move and this week discovered the powerpoint viewer was very useful in outline mode as I could access all the notes straight from that view, which was helpful in my meeting as it also means less scrolling
Tbh I haven't used docs to go since my palm days many many years ago, but I was looking at it just before you posted The question.
I can't stand pirated software, especially when he developers work so hard and charge so little for their android stuff.

Although I am a software conterfitting whore for Windows, I do indeed support Android and their developers apps. Plus at such a minimal cost, it is entirely worth it.
Bad news though, I downloaded the Documents to Go shown in my markerplace and when I opened it to press 'buy key' it brings me to the search result for Documents to Go, but does not show the full version
Looks like a may be installing an illegal version after all... Or maybe after I root my phone to a newer build it will be resolved.

I bought it direct from the website using my full win7 computer. This was in response to an email from DataViz as follows:-
"Thank you for registering our Documents To Go 2.0 "Viewer" for your Android-based device. The free Viewer version allows you to view Microsoft Word and Excel files and attachments on your device.
We are excited to offer you a special price, direct from DataViz only, on our Documents To Go Full version upgrade. "
That mail contained a link and I followed my nose from there.
Maybe best to wait for DataViz to respond to your registration after you download and install the Viewer only version?
QuickOffice updated my support ticket saying they updated the installer and to look again.
Now fully functional, purchased the app with no problems
I got an offer email through today as well do bought it, much prefer the pdf reader to the adobe one. worth the 9.99 usd for that, the amount of emails I get with pdfs in..
I used quick office and docs to go on the iphone, docs to go was better. However all the features are not on the android version and I have found the quick office version better and functionality rich (although far from perfect). The main features that made it better was the google docs integration

I use the purchased ver. of Doc.'s to go on my EVO and just purchased it again for my Streak. I use the PDF viewer a lot. One of the things you can do with the pdf viewer is go to a restaurant's web site, download their nutrition info.. Then next time you wonder how may fat calories the super sized Whopper has, you will have it at your finger tips. You can also make color coded pdf/excell doc's on a pc then email them to your streak. Open them with doc's to go and you are all set.
I discovered today that you can't open encrypted files in QuickOffice, but Docs to go (the full version at least) had no problem with it!
When I say 'encrypted' I use it in the sense that MS office uses it - you put a password on a file and save it.

Ah very interesting information to know, thanks. Never tried it.
Quick office will not install
Hey guys. Like it says, I can't get it to install.
I'm running StreakDroid 1.9 and Steve has HD installed as a system app so I upgraded to the full version so I could create documents and it wouldn't install.
So I deleted it from /system/apps/ and bought QuickOffice Pro and couldn't get it to install either....
any ideas?
I've wiped the cache and dalvik cache just in case and that didn't help either
Hi, I just got the hp touchpad and I am trying to find a good ebook reader. I have calibre on my PC so I can convert to most formats. I tried out preader but it doesn't render the text very well and very laggy.

Did you try preader Native? I tried another preader version and wasn't happy. Then I found com.mhwsoft.preader-native_0.9.9_all.ipk at
precentral.net/preader-native-alpha (new user so I can't post links)
and think it will serve me fine until Android is ported.

prereader on the market was the best I could find and it was junk. I'll have to check that out.
Anybody figure out how to side load into the Kindle app?
Ya, tried that but it wasn't loading my .epub book when I added it to the library.
yep, that beta/alpha version of preader is best. Its still total junk but at least its free....really though, at the point that its that awfully inefficient the guy is probably better off trying to generate html and just toss it to WebKit. I mean come on, so slow and buggy with the progress.
I'm using the kindle app on mine. Barebones but works.
I ended up buying the Touchpad Demo version from RadioShack, not realizing that it would not allow me to access the HP Market. As such, I can't download the Kindle app from there. Anyone know how I can get it to my Touchpad? I think the apps for Wed OS are .ipk, as opposed to android's .apk's. Does anyone have the Kindle.ipk?
P.S. I don't think this qualifies as asking for freeware in violation of the rules as the Kindle App is free on the market, and I just need the installation file to be able to use it. If that is incorrect, mods please remove this request. Thanks.
UPDATE:
Never mind, thanks to some of the guys here at XDA I was able to install a clean copy of the latest Web OS on my "Demo" Tablet, and register for a new Web OS account. A Demo no more, but a full fledged Web OS Tablet. I downloaded the Kindle app from the market, but now trying to figure out how to get .mobi books to show up on the Kindle App.

There is some info on this at precentral.net in the TouchPad subforum. You might take a gander as it sounds like the demo units were not supposed to be sold and may be permanently locked out of accessing the app store.

Is there an shook reader for webos that i can just load all of my epub files into?
Droid Charge/Gummy 1.9RC2 2.3.4 ext4
Well you can just download a free amazon book, and rename your mobi books to the /.palmkindle directory, but they show up as the name of the amazon book, and I'm pretty sure its impossible to change that because the name of the book is in the main database file for webos. More technical details can be found here
Is there anything like Aldiko for WebOS.
This isn't a real satisfactory solution. I whonder how HP could sell the Touchbook without a working ebook reader preinstalled. I guess its things like these, that made people refrain from WebOS.

The kindle app works great on my tp
Sent from my synergized criffvo
I use my touchpad for viewing my digital textbooks (.PDF) in class. I'm currently using adobe reader but it lags considerably. I've tried using calibre to convert them to .mobi but it didn't work.
so I'm looking for one as well..
Managed to pick up a cheap 32GB... So disappointed about the lack of a half-decent book reader, and the Kindle app doesn't seem to be available to people in the UK
I had this same problem. I tried pReader, but the version in the market took forever to load even one .mobi ebook, and froze when I tried to load a second.
The Alpha version from the preware store refused to load .mobi files at all for me - it let me select them, and said it was loading, but they never appeared in the list.
I ended up using Calibre to convert all of my ebooks to .epub, and loading these into the Alpha version of pReader - it loaded all of them (about 200) quickly, and they look OK. It is still a bit laggy and rough around the edges, but its good enough for me until someone comes up with something better (or the pReader devs release an update).
How do you get back to the main menu in the preader native version? Im stuck inside one of the books and cant get out.
edit: Nevermind I just uninstalled it and reinstalled it. I think by putting it into fulllscreen I couldnt get into the drop-down to go back. So... DO NOT PUT INTO FULLSCREEN IN DISPLAY PREFERENCES!!!
Also, if you are using pReader and haven't done this already, try setting the encoding to UTF-8.
I had all of the special characters showing up as junk before this.
Good luck.
-chad
PS - If anyone is aware of a way to sideload books into the Kindle app without the free book hack, please let me know.

This took me a bit to figure out, but I did. I double-tapped toward the top half of the screen and it pulled the top menu bar back up. Similar to the bottom, where if you tap, it activates or deactivates the progress bar. What a pain in the ass and rather unintuitive if you don't know what you're doing.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mantano.reader.android.trial
I've been following development of this reader over at mobileread for a while, and finally had occasion to grab the trial: very impressive. It is at least the equal of Aldiko on epubs, with better pdf support (for my purposes, anyway--I'm not annotating or anything) than ezPDF, and a very polished UI.
It's not cheap, but finally having an app that renders pdfs readable, and being able to retire 2-3 other reading apps in the bargain, makes it well worth it to me. The level of engagement from the devs also bodes well for the app's future.
I also tried the trial of Mantano and love this app! Finally found an app that doesn't hang when reading my pdf manuals, etc. As mentioned above, great interface and well worth the price to do what it does.
What does this $7.49 app have that Adobe Reader/Cool Reader doesn't?
Or it's just 2-in-1 convenience package?

Adobe reader doesn't remember your place in the document but has great viewing options. Coolreader doesn't support adobe drm so no library support. Aldiko has lots of nice little touches but sucked with pdfs... mantano addresses essentially all of these issues and others. So my opinion its a worthwhile "2-in-1" convenience.
I still prefer ezpdf. Mantano has poor image scaling.
FYI, the current update is apparently causing FCs on the NC,so you may want to freeze updates until they fix it.
Nice app.. imo, better than Moon Reader etc for epubs!
I've tried near every ebook reader app in the market but I've decided to bought Mantano because is by far the best and stable of all!!
I'm very happy about it and I feel that only a proper widget is missing so I've sent an email to them and they answered me in 10 mins!!
here the answer:

Hi Dimitri,
Thank you very much for your kind comment!
Currently you can add a shortcut to a book on your home page, but we'll add a widget someday. Before this, our next big improvements will be the support of teh OPDS catalog format, which will allow you to browse a lot of book catalogs available on the web, and the the synchronization between devices and annotations sharing. But the widget is also on our TODO-list.
Thank you again, and have pleasure with our app !
Best regards,
Jean-Marie

All the problems I've seen so far are from people who paid for the app. I'm still on trial, but disabled auto updates just in case.

hmm. i'm already on the paid version. perhaps i'm just unusually lucky. are you seeing people complain at mobilereads or elsewhere?
OT: BTW, in nanowrimo under 'skwalas' if you do jump in.
I just caught up on the MR @MR thread, and it looks like they already released a fix that solved people's problems.
After a few short days using the Mantano, I have to say it is better than the Adobe Reader, at least having the "remember last opened" feature.
ePub supporting was just ok, nothing fancy.
Thumb up anyway and thanks to those members who introduced the tool.
I can't open my downloaded BN ebooks with Mantano. It asks for name and password, but won't accept them. Ideas are welcomed. Thanks.

I believe your "username and password" for B&N's DRM is the name on the credit card associated with your account and the credit card number, respectively.

My mother bought one of these Cydle M7's some time ago- actually not a bad device, it works pretty well. However, of course, it's lacking all of the gapps stuff (no market access, maps, etc etc). Cydle has it's own very limited market. I've played around a little with it, seeing if I could get the market installed, etc, but I haven't seen anything on this device anywhere.
Anyone have any idea if the Cydle M7 has any developments anywhere?
Thanks!
Try downloading the newest market apk from the forums or Google. Drop the apk onto the SD card and install it using the native package installer. That should work for you.

Moving to Q&A
I have tried this in the past, but ran across some error. I will try again though, when I have time. I disremember if I was able to gain root access on the device, so that may be an issue as well.
Thanks for the tip.
I have an M7 that I have been playing with. I use Drop Box to load apps and have also been able to load the Amazon Market. I have loaded Google Services Framework and the Google Market app, but it force closes. It is a nice tablet with the built-in stand. I keep it on my desk and use it to stream music over WiFi. The HD output is also nice. I have not looked into rooting it, but so far I haven't needed to root it to do what I need it to do.
I am a complete n00b to the Android community. I picked up an M7 recently, and have used Aptoide, Amazon and other alternative markets pretty easily. However, there are three apps I was really looking forward to using: Evernote Food, Evernote Hello, and IQTELL. En's apps don't seem to want to install from the other sites, and IQTs isn't available from them yet.
I have rooted my M7 recently, with much nervousness and trepidation, with a friend's help (online help only) and am wondering if it's worth it to try to figure this out.
Hi everyone. CW Network recently released a new VOD app for Apple TV, Roku, and Xbox, and Fire TV... but not Android TV. Someone on Reddit was kind enough to rip the Fire TV apk and post it for people to try, but there are a couple of issues. One is the Amazon ownership check (which doesn't seem to allow it to run even if you have the CW app on Amazon's app store), and the other is a strange error message about network connectivity. Could anybody take a look at it and see if it can be hacked to work on the Shield?
Reddit thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/556f46/heres_firetv_cw_app_shows_on_leanback_launcher/
APK download:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/gkokbqq27s4vaxv/The_CW_com.cw.tv.android_1.0.0_106.apk
..
The guy who ripped it says that the leanback intent was already in place.

I'll pull out my old Fire TV stick from storage and pull the apk this evening.
Edit:
Decided to try right away. The CW app was added to my amazon account and installed on my Fire Stick directly from Amazon. It still gave the connection error. There must be an issue with the app if the app is still giving a connection error on a Android device it was designed to be used on. I'm assuming CW will released an update to fix the problem soon enough. When they do, I can remove the amazon checks.

Weird, it works perfect on my Fire TV and Stick downloaded directly from Amazon. It doesn't work on any Android TV device though. I don't know how to crack the app. Someone needs to crack the app and see if he can get it working.

Would you be able to remove the checks on the PlayStation Vue Firetv app as well? I would love to be able to use it on my Shield.
Its not letting me post the link since I am a newer member but please let me know if you can do it and I'll DM you a download link.
Thanks!
..
Thanks for putting all this effort in. I'm away from home (and my Shield) this week, but I will try it when I get back.
Finally had the opportunity to try it. It no longer throws the ownership error, but still throws the connection error.
..
Cool. I'll keep an eye out for that, and I'll reply if I find anything regarding a new APK. Thanks!

Anything new happening on this front?
There are two network connections made at the initialization of the app. They are both going to Amazon WS. Both appear to have issues, probably because the User-Agent isn't a Fire TV UA, and the request that gets the license reports "android" from the Shield whereas the Fire version reports "amazonfire" on the posted data. Because of the differences, the license returns "invalid" on the JSON response.
If the responses that come back from the Fire stick were to come back to Shield, the app would function perfectly. I had changed the two URLs to my local webserver to return the good responses, and I could browse and watch episodes without issue. Beautiful picture.
With that, the app is very specifically blocking Android TV devices.
EDIT: Correction, the User-Agent is not used. It is just the "amazonfire", which is based on one piece of code. A small modification gets this working without needing to host the two response files.
Attached is an apk to try out.
** Edit: current version doesn't work anymore. Removing ***
That's awesome. I'll try this when I get home from work today. Would it be difficult to do this to the USA and Cartoon Network apps as well?
Seems to work awesome. I was able to watch an episode of the flash without issue
I took a look at USA Network and the Cartoon Network apps. The Amazon app for USA Network is a webapp, so it is unlikely to work without bigger modifications. Cartoon Network appears to have a few issues (title bar displays all the time, no leanback launcher banner icon, Amazon hooks). I'll take a look, but at least they have added casting support to the Cartoon Network Android app for now.
Thanks for posting The CW App, while the Content seems sparse, and not really my thing (DC Comic Universe), it does at least work, and thats something.
