So I've been trying to find a way to edit and create my OneNote docs online.
One solution seems to be going to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ and basically accessing your Skydrive-stored files from that site. Theoretically you can create and edit--and in tests it was easy to locate my cloud-stored files via this site.
Unfortunately, every time I actually try to edit or create, my browser simply hangs. I've tried this in Dolphin browser so far.
I'm wondering if this is Microsoft simply blocking its use? I'm trying to relocate the option in Dolphin to view a webpage as if you're not on a mobile phone and see if that helps. The other possibility is simply that the phone can't handle the operation I'm trying to do (this seems likely--it usually hangs after opening an existing document...I can sort of edit it, but when I try to actually input the change the browser just freezes...)
If anyone has any suggestions or wants to help me try to make this work, I"m all ears!
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know about any programs that you can click and hold on a link in an email and pick what internet browser you want to use to open that link. I get a lot of emails and have three different browsers on my phone. Each one works great for certain things.
I see 60 people have looked at this. Does anyone else want to be able to do this with there phone or am I the only one?
Click and hold, I have no idea about. I accidentally got the ability to pick which browser when I installed JZ SmarTMort while trying to get a clipboard history -- it uses MortButtons to bring up a menu. You can get it here, if that sounds like what you want.
I only ever use it to select "Opera Mobile 9", but it is nice to know the options are there for when I eventually stop being lazy and use them.
That was just what I wanted. Thank you so much for finding it.
ok, there's a work related site to which i log in, it opens a new window in which i choose dates and it generates a pdf schedule....on Touch HD i could access it without problems, the pdf obviously didn't open in browser but instead offered me to download the file....on Hero i get a frame where the pdf would open on a computer and that's it, no download options, nothing
any idea what to do, what am i doing wrong or missing?
i've tried with Opera Mini, but it's just horrible and won't work really....any other Android browser with download option i could try?
Hi,
I am trying out the Galaxy Tab and I find it to be rather nice to use. However, I have encountered an issue that I have not been able to resolve. I have a favorite web site that I go to at least once a day. It displays poorly with the text over writing other text, to the point it is almost unreadable. The default browser offers the option of Mobile or Standard. The site opens in mobile mode and so I selected Standard and the page gives we an error 404, if I remember correctly.
The other issue is, I need to open a link on the site page that displays a PDF document and another link that plays a MP3 audio file, while staying on the web page. The Galaxy Tab will not allow me to have both open. If I have the PDF file open, I can't get to the MP3 file. If I have the MP3 open, I can't open the PDF without closing the MP3.
I wonder if the site needs Java or some other software to make it display and function correctly? Any ideas what I could be doing wrong.
Strangely, My wife's iP#d1 handles this site with ease. Also, my Google Cr-48 handles it just fine. I am at a loss to figure this out. If I can't solve this problem, the Galaxy Tab goes back tomorrow as I am tired of messing with it.
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.
I've noticed a few pages the stock browser renders odd, such as quoted text here on xda. Opera mobile works fine, scrolls smoother, and doesn't have text input lag. I'd recommend it.
Thanks for your reply.
I tried Opera, Dolphin HD and Beta 6, Maxthon and of course the default, Chrome. They all produced the same result. So far, only Safari renders and allow the PDF and the audio file to run concurrently.
care to share the two sites hence we can try a work around. try typing the command about:debug in address and hit go. New options will appear in settings, try changing the uid to desktop and rendering normal and disable wide page display. Just for a try!

Thanks for the good tips. Those changes made the browser's display much better. It got rid of the garbled text. Question, will these changes remain after a re-boot or do I need to reset each time?
The other issue of not being able to have multitasking while on the subject site remains. The site that I am trying to fully access is www.torahclass.com. When I select the link to open the audio file and then open the PDF the audio quits. I cannot get back to the web page. If I am on the web page, I can't get back to the PDF.
I just spent one hour at Best Buy and they had five different phone/tablet knowledgeable staff take a turn a making it work. No luck! I asked if it would work on the HP TouchPad and their response was no. However, they claimed the multitasking could be done on the Playbook. We were not able to test their hypothesis due to the fact that the Playbook did not have access to their wi-fi.
So, I am beginning to think that this is an issue with Android and WebOS that remains to be solved by Google and HP. I like the Playbook, but I am concerned about RIM's future. Owners might end up with no support from the mfg.
Anyways, thank you both for your help.
try xiialive app, when clicking on an audio stream in browser choose to play with xiialive and once started press home and continue browsing with the stream playing in background! Issue resolved.
Works. Thank you.
Alright Nookers, I got one for you all and haven't been able to find exactly what I needed.
I have a project coming up that is going to require a lot of signatures from people when I'm onsite. I would like to keep all this digital on the Nook rather than printing things out. Seems simple enough, and I can find several application that do this, but not to the extent that I would like.
This document is going to be in .doc format. What I have found with the digital signature applications is that they seem to only handle PDF. I've tried looking for Office Applications that allow ink write ups on the document, but haven't found anything yet (haven't paid for D2GO, Quickoffice doesn't have it as far as I've found).
I've thought of a few solutions and maybe you all can help out.
1) After I enter in the necessary information to the document, convert to PDF and use something like SIGNature e-sign. What would be good conversion tools to do such (preferrably ones that don't require to be online doing this).
2) An office app that allows ink mark ups, allowing them to sign.
3) A drawing app that allows someone to sign, then I can do a select all, copy over to the document and resize if necessary.
I'm probably making this way too hard on myself. I'd rather not have to re-create this other persons document as a text enter PDF if I can. Suggestions?

Why not just find a art program that lets you save the image? When I had to submit paperwork with digitalized signatures the easiest way was to capture the signitures as images and then put the images into the .doc. Though this method will require the signatories to trust you with their signature on a blank page.
The reason that the programs you find use pdf is that .doc is an editable format so it's similar to the problem of the option i mention. That's why those programs use pdfs when can be locked from editing.
Im wondering everyone's favorite browser for Android? I was using Chrome as it came on my phone, I then switched to Firefox because it's what I use on my PC. I found Firefox to operate the best, except when it came to bookmarks. You couldn't organize them or make folders and that really irritated me. I switched to Dolphin, which I love the bookmarks, I can make folders and organize things the way I want. But Dolphin has a problem remembering passwords, it chooses here and there where it wants to work. It also has some pages that will just not work right or even allow me to type in some fields where if I go back to Firefox it works fine.
So, what's everyone find as the best? I need to be able to organize bookmarks, I like websites remembering passwords, and I like the on the fly switch between desktop and mobile view of websites. I like the visible tabs options for easy switching pages. I don't feel Dolphin is cutting it, I run into alot of times where it just unexpectedly shuts the browser app off and I loose everything. That's rather frustrating. I'm looking to test a new one out. I want to be able to transfer my bookmarks easily. When leaving FFirefox I had to manually one by one copy and paste every page URL and re-bookmark them....

My personal favorite is an older version of Opera Mini - v7.6.35766, to be exact. It has such a good interface, with a customizable quick dial on the new tab page, folder-able bookmarks, and even the ability to save webpages so that you can view them without Internet access. It also remembers login forms perfectly. I've been using it for years - every time a new version comes out, I try it, but none are as good IMO as v7.6.35766.
