using polaris, i typed up an extensive document, saved it, selected it and then clicked on the 'move to' tab, selected the destination and saved it in that destination
i then looked in the saved location and the file was lost!!!!!!!!! no longer there! dont know where it is!
i tried looking in the 'recent' files section, but nothing!!
where did it go and how can i retrieve it?
plz help, a lot of work went into that document
You could use a file manager program to run a search by filename for the document. Might work.

Apparently, Polaris office does that times to times...
especially when editing documents from Google Docs, there are no other way to safe directly to Google Docs.. you have to save it on the prime locally and upload it to Google Docs, otherwise, your hard word disappear to nowhere.

Here's the B&N eReader app that was on my NRG ROM but gave a 'comng soon' splash but updated OTA to the attached new version that is live and working
A bunch of pics and info on the app ar located here: http://www.mobilitydigest.com/barnes-nobles-ereader-is-liveand-sweet/
Awesome, thank you kindly!
Excuse my ignorance about the B&N eReader but can you import ebooks you already own into this reader or will it only except publications from the B&N website?
I am not seeing any option to import existing ebooks, such as the ones I have for eReader. B&N owns eReader, if I remember correctly. Wonder if the two apps will "merge" at some point, or I'm guessing they may want people like me to switch over to the new reader.
this is awesome ... thanks David
I've been waiting for this for a long time. You're my hero! Thanks!
Yer looks ok, downloaded the free books, but I can't view my .epub books I already have, seems pointless application unless I can read my existing epubs, perhaps I am doing something wrong again...

I suspect they have to be in the folder that the app uses. I haven't dug around yet to find just where the program is storing my books.
After the first five minutes, my initial impressions:
- Visually very appealing
- Instant access to your B&N library (proud nook owner here, so I have a lot of e-books from B&N).
- Doesn't sync yet with the nook (but neither does the BlackBerry or iPhone version)
- You can read e-newspapers from the app (I don't think you can do that yet with the other versions, but maybe they've been updated)
If you buy e-books from B&N this is definitely a must-have app. Otherwise there are more flexible options out there.
I tried importing a book from my peanut press folder on my sd card to the proper one on main memory (where Dracula was downloaded), and it didn't recognize it. I love the fact that the bonehead who made the cab put the BN folder on the root of the device, instead of in program files.

It's in Program Files on mine. But I'm not happy about the boneheaded move to put the Books folder within the program folder in main memory. It might be preferable to install the app to a storage card instead of main memory. Unless someone can find a way to get the program to look for books on the storage card.
Version 1.0.0.27 is now on B&N's website

I agree. At minimum I want my books on the storage card, even better if the whole program is there too.

It would be nice if they'd update the application to better fit the HD2 (non D-Pad phones)
Download a sample from B&N, anyone will do or the sample of your book you already have..
Then go to your book folder, copy across your, EPUB file already converted from any other form in Calibre etc...then rename it with the exact same long 13 digit number as the one you downloaded...
then ok the image and title are wrong but the book is all correct inside...
Anyone get any further than this

Good tip, infact if you download a sample of the book you have already then everything looks and works fine , the thumbnail has a small sample sticker on it though but that ain't a problem
Rumball: I was able to move it to my storage card as you suggested - thanks.
Mobipocket works ok for me but I have the HD2 and it's hard to turn the pages. I'm still shopping around, I'm taking a closer look at the calibre conversion program.
All,
This app was developed to sync with your B&N ebook library only, ie not to read epub's that you might have already downloaded to your phone or from other sources. If you have a book from B&N then it should be in your ebook library in which case it can be synced and downloaded. That's not to say you can't trick it into reading other downloaded books per other comments.
Also note it's been developed specifically and only for the HD2... mileage will vary if tried on another phones.

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the ASTRO browser installed and 20 GB of files on the sdcard. Does anybody know of a search app that will enable me to search the entire sdcard quickly, as one would do with Google desktop or Copernic?

Do you mean on the tab or from the PC?
If you talking about the Market app "Astro File Manager", it searches the SDCard very quickly from the tab. Give some more info and I'd bet you will get some better answers.
We where discussing the lack of drive-letter access in this thread, so searches from PC's are going to be limited to "if" the search tool can even access a Windows Media Device. I don't know of a way to do that....but some one will chime in if they do I'm sure.

I'm referring to the Astro File Manager, and I'm interested in searching the sdcard from the tablet. Since my sdcard contains a synced copy of all of my desktop PC files, I have no need to search the tablet from the PC. If I'm sitting at my PC, I'll just search the PC. Astro searches the tablet, but not quickly. Astro takes about 1 minute to search my sdcard when I search through file names only, and the search returns no results when I use the "Find text in file" option, which is not helpful. I've been spoiled by Google, Copernic, and Windows 7 and now find waiting so long for a search that only checks file names to be retro in a bad way.
I'll give a practical example to supply more info about why I asked the question. Thanks to this thread I had my tablet with me (with all of my documents on the sdcard) at a meeting yesterday and somebody had a question about a file from two years ago. I couldn't remember which directory the file was in or what it was named, and was unable to track it down with the Astro search or by browsing. After about a minute of poking around, the moment had passed and we gave up and moved on to the next topic. I went back to my office and found the file in about 2 seconds on my desktop PC using the Copernic desktop search tool, which I think is awesome. I would like to be able to do the same thing with my tablet, i.e., have an indexed search engine for the sdcard on it. Had I found the file quickly at the meeting, we could have resolved the issue on the spot instead of putting it on the agenda for the next meeting.

Trying to do a similar thing, i would be extremely interested by a solution too.
By curiosity, what program do you use for syncing purpose? SugarSync?
Edit : just see the thread you linked in your previous post. You can try sugarsync, seems very promising and easy, and 5go is enough to carry all my work.
I wonder if it exists another solution with our own server maybe?

Sorry about the slow response. I tried SugarSync and it wasn't my thing. 5 GB of free space was not enough. 30 GB was $4.99 per month and I'm way too cheap and stubborn for that. Although price really isn't that much, I decided I would find a way to sync my files between two devices with no monthly free, period. Special thanks to the Samba developers for making that possible.
The new update to Google docs allows you to choose files to be available offline. It seems like its downloading them but I can't find where the files are located. I am guessing they are hidden or perhaps I'm overlooking them. Anyone have a clue? This could be the dropbox alternative I've been waiting for!

It worked for me, on my phone. In accounts and sync, I set docs to sync. It took about 30 minutes or so then they were there.
Try opening the Google Docs app.
I was curious about an actual location as well, as I still don't have a way to fully leverage my vast amount of Google docs storage as easily I can my dropbox storage. It seems the intention is for the files to be accessible within the app, or I didn't look hard enough.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I think it functions like gMusic does. The stuff online is 'cached'...meaning you don't actually DL the word.doc or the song.mp3 to your HD.

That's what I am thinking too but that is BS! There has to be a way to see the files. I decided against rooting but maybe someone with root can 'download' one of their files and search for it in some hidden folders on their SD card? This is a bit ridiculous.
There's a fairly inconvenient way to get to the files, they are under the following path:
Code:
sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.docs/files/pinned_docs_files_do_not_edit
But unless you just want to grab a single file it's pretty useless since the offline files are stored 'cache' style, e.g. my test.pdf appears as content14489124142file
For future reference since so few people every where that I go seem to know, there are three places to look.
/data/data/java.package.name/ = app data on internal memory.
/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/java.package.name/ = app data correctly stored on sdcard; which is just a separate partitonof the internal memory for us and /sdcard is a symlink to /mnt/sdcard.
/mnt/sdcard/WhereEverTheDevoperDamnPleases = what some developers and older applications with r/w perms on your sdcard sometimes do.
In modern devices the last two could be compared to storing per user data in %UserProfile%\Application Data\ or the HKCU registry hive on Windows, or under ~/.local/share, ~/.config, ~/.cache or ~/.appname - rather than cramming crap into C\Program Files\Company Name\We Still Like Win9x\.
I.e. new and old schools.
When in doubt on Android you can always check those three places.

You now if you go to Google docs on the browser (personally I use chrome on my Transformer) and turn on desktop mode then you can download any of the files on your docs account.

that's pretty obvious man. that's not the point. its easier and more convenient to just download it from the app. It gives a more 'dropbox' like experience.
Someone needs to design a plugin that will allow you export to the SDCard!

Also please suggest any better app to read documents including MS Word.
Many thanks.

You can delete them by getting a file manager app or connecting the tablet to your PC and manually delete them.
As for a document viewer, I've used Document to Go, and it seems alright.
Use honeycomb filemanager from market to search files and folders on your tablet, it has a kind of explorer interface with a 'downloads' folder on the left of the screen.
To make it fit even more just use the 'grid' layout
Done. Many thanks.
Hey guys... I am looking for an app for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 that I can use to build a set list for sheet music. I have friends that do this on ipads but haven't come across anything for Android tabs. All my sheet music are scanned or created PDF documents so really I just need an app that I can build a "playlist" of sorts from a database or a folder full of PDFs. It would be nice if this app indexed the PDFs so it would be easier to find the songs that I am looking for. In the end, I want to be able to flip from PDF to the next PDF within the app in the order that I setup.
Any suggestions?
Maybe just use a file manager like Astro?

I have that but it doesn't give me what I need. I need to preset the playlist of PDF files and then easily click through them as I move from one song to the next. With Astro, it would take way too long between songs to find the right PDF file and open it between songs.

Just prefix the pdfs with its number in the set list, and then just use and regular file manager to open the pdfs in order.
01-Stairway to heaven.pdf
02-ice ice baby.pdf
Etc.

Try adobe reader, and click "home", you will be able to see your docs order how you want it.
Astro, Adobe Reader and all these other suggestions are great for finding a file and opening it but I really need something like I said... a reader that can create a "set list" or a playlist or sorts. I have almost 1000 pdf files. It just wouldn't work no matter how you sort them to be able to switch from one song to the next quickly during a concert. I need something that I can add the 5 or so songs to a list and just be able to click "next song" or something like that when I am ready to go to the next pdf.
I don't think i have come across anything that would do that on Android as far as being able to create a file list to go through. The closest thing i can think of is to use perfect viewer with its pdf plugin but with that you would have to do your own file management externally by placing your set of files in a folder and naming them sequentially with number prefixes. Once you do that though perfect viewer will let you cycle through the pages as if the set of files were pages in an ebook.
