[Q] Can only view Google Docs while editing? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

When I try to view my Google Docs word processor docs on my tablet, all I see is an empty white page. I don't actually see the text of my document until I tap the pencil icon to enter edit mode. This only happens on the word processor docs and not the spreadsheet docs. Does anyone else have this problem or am I all alone?
More importantly, does anyone know a way to fix it? I've tried clearing data and uninstalling/reinstalling the app, but nothing seems to work.

googdocs has always been janky.

same problem, but when you click edit it shows up perfectly. not sure what is wring with the view mode.

Quickoffice Pro HD

Has anybody been able to get Quickoffice Pro HD to install on their prime? It looks like the Amazon app store will allow it to be installed but I'd rather install it from the Android app store, I heard that the version on Amazon doesn't get updated as frequently. I tried searching but nothing came up, hopefully this hasn't been addressed already. Thanks!

I have it installed. I didn't get it from either market though. I've had the apk for a while. Not sure why it's not showing up in the market. It works fine as far as I can tell.

It is not available for ICS. I was little disappointed when I found out after I updated my Captivate however Polaris seems to work good so far and should hold you over until they update it.
Yeah polaris doesn't seem too bad, I was hoping to get quickoffice before I go back to school on Monday but polaris will have to do until they make it available. Good to know that it is working though. Excited to use this thing to take notes in class!

hey guys,
i just got my prime yesterday and i've tried opening multiple docs (saved and new) in quick office pro hd (from amazon) and it showed the text as white regardless of the document. i could select, cut, copy, paste, even change the format of the text, but i still couldn't see it in quickoffice. i saved a new doc in QOP HD and opened it in polaris. the text was there - i just couldn't see it in QOP HD.
Could this be an ICS compatibility issue?
Thanks guys!
Surprising the lack of support for ICS from them. This is the only program that I know of that will open and work with macro excel files.
Bought QOPHD directly from the website - Has worked fine since (It can also open the infamous Polaris corrupted saved files)
ps: you need to specify tf101 instead of prime when buying from their website

You have it working with ice cream sandwich?
Curious why it is not on the Market supporting the Prime if it works on it. I won't buy unless it is on the Market or Amazon.
I actually bought my copy from Amazon and it works fine on the Prime.
I got it from the Amazon Marketplace when they had it as a Free App of the Day. It's worked flawlessly for me on my Prime so far.

Yeah, seems to work well these last few weeks. One of the best office apps on android too.
IT DOES NOT WORK 100%
Downloaded after paying $20, and it works fine for most programs, however several macro excel docs have errors and I get an insufficient memory error before crashing. Sometimes even a failure to render graphics error. All with macro files. Before someone says something smart I have 160gb total.
I got it a few weeks back via the Amazon App Market, but I'm not too impressed with the app.
Obviously I can't use basic Window's Shortcut keys for highlighting text and the familiar, but that's the OS' fault, not the app.
It doesn't have spell-check, at least not as far as I know, so it was quite annoying when I found out I had about 6 spelling errors in my speech outline after I re-opened it on actual MS Word.
Doesn't have the ability to change margins, again at least not as far as I know, so it's not exactly the smartest app to use for typing a formal document. This also applies with being able to change the spacing size and what not.
There was a few other minor things that annoyed me, but I can't quite remember them.
Other than those flaws, the app works as intended and is useable. I hope they add some key features that's missing compared to the actual MS Word program.

Hey, just searched for the problem that I was having and I see that you have the same problem, the white text. I figured it out on my HP Touchpad running ICS. Its the Force Hardware Acceleration that is causing the problem. The instant you uncheck that option under developer settings the text shows up perfectly.

Its working cross application like the other user posted. Try a reboot. Might just be a glitch or bug that occurred. If its still happening, do you have any copy n paste apps like clip it or something installed?

Let us know if that fixes it or not. Being rooted or not has no bearing on whether copy n paste functions work or not.
It took me a while to get use to this.
But this is working for me.
CTRL+X and
CTRL+V
I'm doing this right now from the slightly buggy Chrome
Beta that is bugging out as I try to type this.
Just remember that you have to first select over a word with your cursor in a text box window by holding down on it for a second until the double blue arrow appears so you can adjust your selection. Then the cut, copy, or paste keyboard command should work.

[APP][CM9]Evernote/Kindle UI for ICS

If you're running the latest ICS nightly (since 2012-02-02, I think) and use Evernote, you've probably noticed that it not longer displays the tablet UI.
For some reason, the Evernote app calculates width of the screen is 4.xxxx instead of the 7.xxxx required for displaying the tablet UI.
I've modified the APK to ignore the calculation so that the app displays the tablet UI.
I hope you like it.
com.evernote-2.apk
UPDATE: Some people have asked me to look at the Kindle app too.
Looking into it, but it is a little more complex ...
If you already have Evernote, you'll need to uninstall it before trying to install this one.
Tip:
Copy this to /system/app to ensure you'll never lose it ...
That way if you update the app thru the market and lose the tablet UI you can uninstall updates

Thanks a lot for this. Tablet UI is lot better. really missed it with recent nightly....I even tried changing DPI..still no use. Your fix is really good . Thanks a lot..
No problem; glad I could help!

Hey, cool! I read about this in your posts on the user thread. How did you do this? I don't know enough to diagnose it, but I would be interested in digging through a couple different apps in this manner.
Do you have access to the block of code you changed or are you dis-assembling this to make this work? This is a common problem across a few google apps as well (chrome, docs, etc) Just wondering if you had any insight into the root problem.
Yeah, that's why I want to know as well. I saw people asking you to take a look at the Kindle app over in the development thread, and I figure instead of buying us dinner you could just teach us how to fish, you know?
Yeah I disassembled the apk.
Essentially, I searched the decompiled files for the word "tablet" ... When I thought I found what I was looking for, I compared it against the logcat.

you can also download the apk from their own website: www.aldiko.com whithout the market.
FWIW the official Kindle app update that just showed up on my GN claims that it's fixed margins and spacing on tablets. I'm not near my Nook, but let us know if it works.

Yeah unfortunately it's not fixed on the Nook Color or the Touchpad.
I'll upload a picture of the Kindle app and describe the differences of tablet mode and phone mode on the Nook. I am very interested in having my NC as well as my TP displaying the Kindle app correctly for landscape mode. Without the split screen with two pages displayed in landscape mode, it's a long traverse to read a line across the entire length if the tablet. Lol
If you still have time to look into this, I would be very grateful. No worries either way.
Thanks for the Evernote fix!

It is fixed in CM9 on the nook color. I have tested it. The margins and line spacing is much improved. You still cannot adjust them, but it is very readable. Make sure you have the very latest version.

Hi leapinar,
I am on the latest version and the Kindle app is not in tablet mode at 160 dpi. I do see the changes you mentioned. However just to be clear, when you hold your Nook in landscape orientation does the screen split and have two side by side pages like an open book?
Edit: I disassembled the apk, but it is not clear at all to me what is triggering the tablet view/install. I tried a few edits and reassembled the apk and nadda.. At this point I am just blindly throwing darts..
Guys,
Sorry about disappearing ... I was out of town for work for a couple of days and busy on a new work project.
I've looked at the new version of the Kindle app, and yes the margins are better, but having the ability to adjust them like the phone would be ideal.
I'm looking at the code to see if I can just swap out the tablet reader view with the phone view, giving us the phone menu options.
A little slow going ...

Would just like to second this - the app is actually semi-unusable without it being switched because there's no way to access 'menu' (no hard button on the NC and no softbutton shows up in the app).

Airdroid

I think it's great. Anyone else using it got any tips?
I use it... Sadly, the QR function doesn't work (the camera won't start) and the screenshot thing doesn't work too (even if rooted).
I just downloaded it based on your suggestion and I have to say, this app kicks ass. No more USB cable, ADB, exporting files from dropbox, everything syncs seamlessly. Just what I was looking for.
I use it for a while and I love it. I also have the with cam to scan code.. This must be linked to our device as utilisé working on my mobile phone

Airdroid on Asus Transformer Pad TF300T
Hi there! First, I want to THANK YOU for this amazing app you created. I use it all the time, and I love it.
I'm sending this email because the QR Code reader of the app doesn't work on my TF300T: it opens a black screen, without the camera. This is the only problem I have with your app, and it would be really great if you fix this (since it will be easy to connect to airdroid, no password needed).
I would also like tomake a little sugestion. When the app runs on a tablet in landscape mode (horizontally), airdroid forces the screen to use the portrait mode (vertically). This is really annoying, especially if I have the dock keyboard connected with the tablet.
Well, thanks in advance, and good luck with your project

Can you explain more? "Them" as in all together or as in one by one ? Because I am sure I can move one (eg a sub-directory in a directory) though I don't use the drag and drop

im talking about multiple directories at one time, as sometimes I transfer folders and files and it only lets you transfer multiple files, not multiple folders,
best option is to use ftp server/client as this works, until fixed,
please explain
Could you explain how you connect thru "ftp server/client". Thanks
Check out swiftftp, works a treat on both my tf300and sgs2
Thanks. Will do.
unfortunately for me this app is really slow when trying to access anything from their website. Takes ages for messages and files to show up on the site. I'm using a fibre optic connection so shouldnt be an issue!

My Library doesn't work after JB update

The ebook app loads, finds my books, prepares the cover thumbnails, but crashes when I try to open a book.

yeah a few app don't work like they used too, but I don;t use MyLibirary so not an issue here. Currents works but has some bugs now so does the IMDb app. Hopefully update will be on the way soon and remedy some of the bugs.
E-mail Asus and and let them know and hopefully they will get a fix out soon.

Weird, mine works just fine. I guess maybe you should try doing a factory reset, or just use another app for reading books.
Before doing a factory reset (and losing all data unless backed up), try to do a cold boot. It wipes Cache and Dalvik cache, if I remember correctly. Shutdown the tablet and start it by holding Volume Down + Power for 10 or 15 seconds. You will get to a screen with two options (Wipe and Android, don't select any), just keep pressing until you see written in the upper left corner "Linux cold boot" in white letters. Then release the buttons and wait until the tablet boots.

I've done a cold boot, then a factory reset, but nothing helped.
OK, it's not a tragedy, I installed another app (Mantano Reader) that works well, but it's weird that this is the only app that doesn't function after JB update. Has anyone else the same experience?
I'm just guessing maybe the 804 epub file were too many for MyLibrary which I have in my SD card and the software tried to import all automatically. But Mantano did it without problem...

Try these Kobo, aldiko, moonreader. The thing with the nook app is that you need to import your ebooks to the app specific folder so it recognizes them, not sure if you can change folder location within the app's setting.

Use a file manager to copy your books from sd card to the folder my documents that is created in the Nook directory, then choose my files from within the program, files must be epub. You may have to have a B&N account, but Nook App is my main reader. I've tried Mantano reader also, it's a good reader.

I bought the tf300t 3 days ago. Jelly bean preinstalled and i updated the same day to the latest versian. Nice tablet, everything works well exept Mylibrary, it force closes within 30 seconds. I now use cool reader, wich i alsoused on my other tablet a P7510 Samsung.
The same happens since the 4.2.1 update.
It worked fine on ICS and the 4.1.1 OTA, now it doesn't work. It FC's after loading a book.

Perhaps try the ebookdroid app from the market? It's free and handles more formats than the native library crap. Just a thought.

Thanks, but it is useless for me. Almost all my books are in '.epub' format. Ebookdroid does not handle epub.
After the factory 4.2 update MyLibrary works again normally! I can read all my books (although I have more than 800 in my SDCard).
