I have tried onenote for android but it has no ink capabilities and cant read notes made on a tablet pc.
So far supernote seems the best, but syncing or uploading is not straight forward. Have to go through 5 steps to upload a picture to google docs or evernote (skydrive browser not supported).
I have only used google docs or skydrive for sync and sharing and tried evernote for the first time.
The easiest so far has been skitch with direct upload to evernote, but that's not really for note taking.
Are there no apps that can easily sync notes?

I'm not able to find the options to configure Google Docs integration in Polaris Office. In fact, I don't see many settings at all for Polaris on the Flyer or even any option to buy another version in the market.
Looks like it's supported: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1087835
Did we get a pared down version with pen input support but without other features?
Any ideas?
I'm sure it is the stripped down version. I just use the google docs app from the market.
The Polaris office can save existing documents but cannot create one. Seems very limited.
Only problem is that the Google Docs app doesn't support the pen for markup.
Sounds like us early Flyer adopters will have to wait for more apps to add pen support.
Google Docs sync
What I do not understand is that under each google account, there is an option to sync Google Documents. So I am confused why this is there if there is no place to actual view the documents themselves...
I think it's because the ink is not supported in google docs itself. I've tried uploading Word documents with ink on them to google docs, and it strips the ink out in the upload and converting process. Same with inked word documents uploaded to microsoft's skydrive and opened in online word. I'm just using dropbox to move documents for now, and keep a blank word document in my dropbox to start a new one in Polaris.
Look over here for the Polaris Office 3.0 with the Google Docs support.
Do you know if the PO 3.0 supports scribe?

It doesn't matter because we can't install this version. Or have you root access to "/system/lib/" or "/system/app"? I don't think so...

What do you mean we cannot install it? It installs just fine. Extract the zipfile, open polarisoffice.apk in app manager and choose install.
This installs just like any other non market app.
Edit: No scribe did not work, uninstalled it.
Hi
I just wanted to know whether it's possible to access one's google docs account through Polaris Office. When I go to the Web files tab I can only add my box.net account. There isn't a google docs option, I went through all the settings and found nothing. I clearly remember reading in reviews that Polaris Office can access one's Google docs.
I use Polaris 3.0 build 3091ZD, the one that came on my phone.
Guess not, since you can only add box account. Box account doesn't work either for me, although it works fine with other office apps.

Hi All,
I am playing the the TF201 that I just got for work, and am looking for alternative GUI's for editing an syncing a google docs spreadsheet on the tablet.
The google docs app is ok but the editing on it is not intuitive and sloppy.
I tried Polaris, but it doesn't sync with the current doc, just uploads it back to the server and screws up the formatting. I also tried Office Suite but can't test the editing/syncing part without purchasing it. Same with Docs to go.
My docs is just rediculous.
Anybody else have any good insight to a friendly GUI on the android tablet?
THanks!
My favorite interface has always been from Quick Office HD. I love having a full page view as opposed to the text being all the way at the top right. The only annoying thing is the lack of autosave for Gdocs.

you could also try google docs in the chrome browser. it works better than in any other browser. cheers!
Is Google Drive any better?
I don't know if you can sync, but Kingsoft office is great and free.
EDIT: It can use cloud, you can add all your cloud accounts that support Webdav protocol. For google docs, use this eservice: http://dav-pocket.appspot.com/. It enables to access Google Docs via Webdav. And it's free.
Office Suite Pro 6 allows you to sync and edit Google Docs, as well as documents on you dropbox or box account.

Collatebox the best alternative to google spreadsheets
Google docs are ok, but a better solution with online and offline editing along with mobile solutions would be Collatebox ! Do go through the trial and website as well. They seem promising.
Microsoft office app is good
Hey guys,
I've got a Galaxy S3 running Android 4.1.1 (CheckROM 5.5) which I'm very happy with, however I don't think I'm using it to the full of its potential. This new Google app seems to think it can sync my life, however I don't know how to use it properly.
I'm a sales rep so I'm on the road a fair bit, booking appointments, writing down notes etc. I use gmail for my personal email, however my office uses Microsoft Outlook for emails.
At the moment, I've got a notebook, in which I write down appointments (I don't want to carry a heavy diary around, as well as my notebook, camera, laser, phone, wallet etc etc), take notes, have a to-do list etc etc.
I'm just wondering if there's a way to put in appointments, as well as write notes, on my phone which somehow sync real-time to my work and home computers, and vice versa.
Also, a to-do list would be nice.
Is there a way to do all of this to simplify my life and make me more efficient? I don't mind spending money on apps if that's what is required.
Any advice or recommendations are appreciated!!
Cheers
Google
Google calendar is on phone, so set up Google on pc and phone.
Ditto Google tasks
Ditto contacts
Google drive for documents. (You can get basic office editing site and viewer of play store.
All of these have lots of settings to play with for ie. Notifications, adding locations to appointments, so linking in with navigation + maps.
You just need to dive in and explore the potential

Thanks for the advice. What about notes?
And how do I install 'Google' on my work computer? Is there a widget for my desktop or can it be sync'd with Outlook or something?
Cheers
You are able to use dropbox also, and samsung has some usefull cloud storage capabilities for contacts and sms/mms.

just type in Google to search, then log in to your account, and there it all is, likewise, for the phone you can find all the Google apps in the play store, though most of them are built into the operating system already.......avoid using the Samsung cloud facilities in my opinion they eat battery, and you will be a slave to Samsung!

Also, Google tasks is their note taking facility, which can be synched with calendar as well

For outlook sync with Google you've got an app named outlook4gmail which is very convenient http://www.scand.com/products/outlook4gmail/
Check out evernote
Evernote is great for notes. We use it in my business for job reporting. from the PC we attach a job sheet and any information the staff need on the road or onsite, the guys can then enter product used, notes etc and we have an instant permanent record that is available from any device or PC linked to the account. Also add
Springpad is similar
Dropbox is also good for documents (google drive is ok, but you can't edit office documents) then use polaris office or similar to edit office documents.
Anydo is a good todo list, very easy to add things to do and check them off (keep notes with them too).
Yes to google calendar - i don't use outlook any more. run as many calendars as you want. they all sync to the same one.
Now the only problem is escaping work.
Hello, everyone.
My girlfriend is a teacher and she is trying to use her Galaxy Tab S6 to check students homework. They send her docx, pdf and jpg files. She is mainly concerned about docx and jpg files, but having some issues with it.
If she uses Google Drive to sync the files between her notebook and Google's cloud, she can open the jpg files using Google Photos and she has the option to edit it, using the pen. But when she opens docx files on Office for Android she does not have the option to save and and have it synced automatically. She has to save locally and then sync with Google Drive. I know she can use Google Docs to edit it, but she prefers Word.
So I sugested using OneDrive, cause she would probably not have that issue. And indeed she doesn't. She can edit the docx files and it automatically saves to OneDrive storage. But she can't open the jpg files with Google Photos like before. When opening the jpg files from OneDrive, using Google Photos, she does not have the option to edit it using the pen.
We are trying to find a way to have the best of both worlds. Any ideas?
Thanx.
