Hmmmm...hard to imagine. The 920 is being marketed as an ultimate business tool. They certainly have it locked up from every angle. MicroShaft did it on purpose. The ability to attach files is the most basic email tool there is. I did find a temporary solution however, I converted a PDF file to a JPEG file, then hooked up the phone to my laptop, COPY and PASTE the converted file into "SAVED PICTURES" and i can now send the converted PDF in an email attachment successfully via the hotmail or gmail app via the "PHOTOS" folder and you can view it just fine on a desktop or laptop, It will work until I figure something else out. Thanks for the input, keep us posted if you come up with anything! IF IT CAN BE CREATED BY MAN IT CAN BE HACKED BY MAN!!!

Not the best solution, but you can send .PDF files through the office app. Just long press on the document you want to send and then share by email or whatever you want. Unfortunately, you can only send one file at a time which is kind of lame.
As for the file manager...I'm dying for one too.:crying:
i really want to be able to browse files!

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.

There is a search magnifying glass in the toolbars in the Astro file manager?

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.
Hey guys,
So I have a bunch of photos of my niece living on my phone, which my sister sent to me via MMS. It's been a while since my HD2 got flashed and it's acting really flaky and NEEDS to be flashed, but I don't want to do so while these picture messages are living on that handset. I know I can save the photos one at a time, but that's an incredibly tedious task that I'm looking to avoid.
I've looked around for MMS backup software for WinMo 6.5 and have found none. However, it stands to reason that MMS messages live somewhere in the file system, since I can pull out my SIM and MicroSD card and still view them just fine. Therefore, I'm asking the awesome XDA-Developer community if there is a means by which to either batch back up MMS messages from Windows Mobile 6.5 (I'm even willing to pay a modest fee for software for this task), or if there's a folder location somewhere in the Windows Mobile folder tree that I can drag and drop via activesync. Google reveals little of relevance, and T-Mobile seemed to think I had audacity for calling and daring to ask for tech support when I wasn't running the stock ROM >.<.
Thanks guys (and girls)!
Joey
SOLVED!
I managed to solve my own issue =) It's a bit more complicated than I would have thought, but it did work =)
Step 1: Mount your device with Activesync.
Step 2: Navigate to the My Documents\UA Contents folder, and drag the "MMS UA" folder to your desktop.
Step 3: Go to this site: http://wargolet.com/wm6/ and download the "MMS Extractor" application. It's a tiny .exe file.
Step 4: Run the application, and choose "Process Folder". Navigate to the MMS UA folder, and pick a file. It will process all the .dat files it can read.
Step 5: Enjoy all the .JPEG MMS files extracted off your phone =)
Hope it helps someone else! I donated a few bucks to the guy since he solved a problem for which there are plenty of Google search results, but no good tutorial for =).
Joey
A good option for backup of all email sms mms is SPB Backup.
Although for your particular needs the tool you found seems pefect.
hi there
just got this amazing transformer prime....was using it for university work
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.

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.
Does any one know how to download polaris office on S3 ?
The phone only has the viewer and asks to download the editor. Where and how can I get it ?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
The phone should have the full Polaris, no?
According to gsmarena.com: "You can view and edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents and there's a PDF viewer to boot. Editing on the large 4.8-inch HD Super AMOLED display is a breeze and covers an almost full set of options - text style, justification, paragraph formatting, bullets, even creating tables (that's a first). If you're editing an Excel file, you get a formula wizard, resize rows/columns, border style, merge cells and so on. Even full-featured PowerPoint presentations are doable."
Are you sure it's just a viewer? I'm going to be a very sad panda if it turns out there's only a viewer on my phone. The inclusion of a full office editing suite was a big selling point for me...
Damn Sure
Oh noes! Catastrophy!
I got my shiny new SGS3 in my hand, and there is no Polaris Office on it, and it's not available in Samsung Apps for me either!
It looks like you can open and edit existing files but you can't access the Polaris Office suite directly to create new files.
That's what it seems like on my gs3 anyway!

It is the viewer-only version. I can't edit files on my SGS3.
See if you can find the Polaris apk on the SGS2 forum and try that .
