I am in desperate need of a good efficient Microsoft compatible office program on my Streak. QuickOffice came preinstalled, but I cannot seem to upgrade to the full version (so it only reads pdfs). Also when I press the buy now button on their website, it pulls up marketplace and says it was not found. I have a support ticket open on their site, but so far no useful responses.
Is anyone else having this problem? Or can anyone recommend a program for reading word and excel (and maybe powerpoint)?
Another bizarre thing is that a developer (who I sent a message to saying the Streak does not display their app right) came back saying "due
to it's irregular screen size the graphics for the game don't quite fit". 800x480 is not irregular. Maybe the screen does have a higher resolution which is being scaled down like fards mentioned.
Company in Question: http://www.quickoffice.com/
.
Have you looked at documents to go?
Also I think the screen size is down to the dpi, they are using 160 dpi on the streak, don't think that's too common.
Well i had a good look around the tinternet for you and have to say there is not much out there office wise for the android
Like fards said documents to go is one but it says will not support office 2010 so from what i can see the one we have Quick office seems to be the best
Now i went to the marketplace found the quick office clicked buy now and it took me to the google checkout did you get that far ?
I reckon Quick Office, without copy & paste, is pretty redundant, that's a big & basic hole for a document editor, if it was the only option then I guess it'd still buy it and pray for an update!
Hi Fards, I'm about to purchase documents to go, I didn't know it existed for Android. I need it for creating and editing word and excel documents and then emailing them, do you use it, and are you happy with it for those basic tasks?
Regards,
Matt
Thanks for the feedback. It just seems like QuickOffice is the best solution currently out.
For the time being I may go with Documents To Go, thanks for the suggestion fards
@lufc
I cannot find it in the marketplace. Likewise, when I use my barcode reader from their website it says the app cannot be found. The same happens when I press the buy now button on the web page from my Android phone.
My Dell Streak is running Android 1.6 build 3562
Still no response from QuickOffice support.

Muo is it quickoffice that you cannot find,maybe because you are in the us and have a different build to me,

I have a need for spreadsheet on the Streak and I compared the lite trial versions of both Documents To Go and QuickOffice. I decided that Documents To Go was much better.
Now that I have it I am blown away by its pdf capabilities whereby it word wraps the text so goodbye to terminable side to side scrolling. Amazing.
Having registered my intention to try it out, DataViz offered me the suite for $9.99 which is cheap enough so that I don’t need to compromise my ethics over it. You could say at that price it is a steal anyway - pun intended.
I use the paid for version of Docs to go and it really is good. I have used the word to go to amend work docs on the move and this week discovered the powerpoint viewer was very useful in outline mode as I could access all the notes straight from that view, which was helpful in my meeting as it also means less scrolling
Tbh I haven't used docs to go since my palm days many many years ago, but I was looking at it just before you posted The question.
I can't stand pirated software, especially when he developers work so hard and charge so little for their android stuff.

Although I am a software conterfitting whore for Windows, I do indeed support Android and their developers apps. Plus at such a minimal cost, it is entirely worth it.
Bad news though, I downloaded the Documents to Go shown in my markerplace and when I opened it to press 'buy key' it brings me to the search result for Documents to Go, but does not show the full version
Looks like a may be installing an illegal version after all... Or maybe after I root my phone to a newer build it will be resolved.

I bought it direct from the website using my full win7 computer. This was in response to an email from DataViz as follows:-
"Thank you for registering our Documents To Go 2.0 "Viewer" for your Android-based device. The free Viewer version allows you to view Microsoft Word and Excel files and attachments on your device.
We are excited to offer you a special price, direct from DataViz only, on our Documents To Go Full version upgrade. "
That mail contained a link and I followed my nose from there.
Maybe best to wait for DataViz to respond to your registration after you download and install the Viewer only version?
QuickOffice updated my support ticket saying they updated the installer and to look again.
Now fully functional, purchased the app with no problems
I got an offer email through today as well do bought it, much prefer the pdf reader to the adobe one. worth the 9.99 usd for that, the amount of emails I get with pdfs in..
I used quick office and docs to go on the iphone, docs to go was better. However all the features are not on the android version and I have found the quick office version better and functionality rich (although far from perfect). The main features that made it better was the google docs integration

I use the purchased ver. of Doc.'s to go on my EVO and just purchased it again for my Streak. I use the PDF viewer a lot. One of the things you can do with the pdf viewer is go to a restaurant's web site, download their nutrition info.. Then next time you wonder how may fat calories the super sized Whopper has, you will have it at your finger tips. You can also make color coded pdf/excell doc's on a pc then email them to your streak. Open them with doc's to go and you are all set.
I discovered today that you can't open encrypted files in QuickOffice, but Docs to go (the full version at least) had no problem with it!
When I say 'encrypted' I use it in the sense that MS office uses it - you put a password on a file and save it.

Ah very interesting information to know, thanks. Never tried it.
Quick office will not install
Hey guys. Like it says, I can't get it to install.
I'm running StreakDroid 1.9 and Steve has HD installed as a system app so I upgraded to the full version so I could create documents and it wouldn't install.
So I deleted it from /system/apps/ and bought QuickOffice Pro and couldn't get it to install either....
any ideas?
I've wiped the cache and dalvik cache just in case and that didn't help either

Guys, need a little more information to tell ya what version of the Dell Sync to use.
There are several versions out there, the latest being the one you download directly from Nero, another is the one from the Dell Site, which says Nero but is not the same software as the one from the Nero site.
Regardless, most of us here don't bother to use the sync software because it sucks.
You're better off using something like Samba and transferring your files directly to your SD card rather than using the Sync software.
Just a suggestion. And with something like Samba you do it wirelessly, no USB cables involved.
You can manipulate all your folders and files just as if they were on your computer.
Hey guys,
For the latest version of the Dell Sync here is a guide I put together.
This is not a very good app, have a look at the thread:

Hi all,
my name is Jordan and I work in the post production department at a video production company in Vancouver called Blink. You can find out more about us here:
http://www.blinkmediaworks.com/
We produce a lot of instructional videos for TELUS, including how-to videos for their phones. To do this we need screenshots from the devices, which in the past with other phones has not been a problem. With the Nokia Lumia 800 we just received from them, however, we have not been able to grab the stills we need because this isn't easily done with the Windows Phone 7 OS. We've tried unlocking the phone with ChevronWP7 (now "sold out") and through AppHub (which will not accept our credit card payment for some reason) in order to side load a screen capture app, but with no success so far.
So we've now decided to reach out to the developer community here to see if anyone would be interested in doing some freelance work for us by obtaining the needed screen shots. If you are interested in this job please send me an e-mail at [email protected] with a rough quote/rate for your time on this project. Check out the videos in the below link to see the videos we did for a previous phone:

Thanks,
Jordan
For screenshots of a specific app you can do this quite easily on a PC using the SDK and device emulator. The problem with the emulator is it has very limited apps installed (just the browser) so if you need the phone/messaging/mail etc. then this is not an option.

There is a unlocked version of the emulator, too. It has all features that normal Windows Phones have with the exception of Email, Facebook, Twitter and Messenger
Send me a Lumia 800 for me to keep and I'll get you any screen shot you want !
Hello,
So I bought a Kindle HDX 7 (3rd gen) for my girlfriend. She used it for a month and then a yellow line appeared on the screen. She contacted Amazon and they gave her a replacement and told her to discard/ recycle the defective one. Now I didn't see the point of throwing away the entire device just coz of the screen issue so I asked her to give the defective one to me. I did a factory reset on it. I can load documents and video files and music but they all appear in the Doc tab only. I am able to open Silk and use it like a basic tablet, but when I select tabs of Books or Music, etc, it asks me to register with Amazon. I tried doing that but it constantly rejects any email leading me to believe that the serial was blacklisted. So I've been scouring this site for clues on how to root the device/ install google play etc., but I am a bit confused now looking at the different links.
So far I've seen links with a cyanogen mod in here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/kin...ent/rom-cm-12-unofficial-apollo-thor-t3050199
or the 'How to install Google Play here'
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547054
So I'd be really grateful if you folks could point me in the right direction as in what steps do I need to take to either unlock my device/ be able to install apps/ read books and listed to music under the respective tabs. Is there a particular order to follow to install? I tried looking up the Sticky page but I'm still totally lost on what steps to follow in what order.
About my Kindle:
It is a Kindle HDX 7 (3rd gen)
Runs right now on Fire OS 4.5.5.1
I enabled ADB by going into the Developer Options (had to click 5 -6 times on Serial Number in Settings for the Options to appear)
Please let me know if I have missed out on providing you with other details about my Kindle.
Thanks a lot!
This guide works on my case :

Careful! That guide is for a version of HD on 8.5.1, not HDX 3rd gen. Will brick your device.

FWIW - I am currently assisting another individual with the installation of a custom rom on a device with a similar configuration (sans registration issue). You can follow the conversation here.
