I have very mixed feelings about this tablet. On one hand, it is an upgrade with number of nice features, on the other there are really strange solution or inwould say abcense.
Having the s pen and not providing full specter of functions like previous models had, it is strange for me.
My actual question is how do you guys sign your pdf files? I used to sign all my documents with my note 5 with the software Write on pdf ( samsung software ). I have the same software on tab s3, however my signatures are veasible only when open in that specific app, not in any other pdf viewer. Moreover, in google playstore it says that tab s3 is not supported by this software. This is very important for me, cause i am signing many documents on the go and was expecting to continue doing so.
Looking forward for your suggestions.

Why not use adobe fill and sign app from play store . I don't use my tab to sign but i tested this app out i am able to see the signature on my PC too. The Spen seems to be working with app so give it a shot.
Squid app (paid but has trial) has write on pdf function.
I use personally "Xodo pdf reader and editor" for writing in pdfs. Even on a Tab2 without a digitizer built in it works very well.

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.

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.

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
I don't know if you have tried GoodReader on iPhone, a PDF viewer with outstanding features like zooming & horizontally locking the document (virtual cropping) & great stuff like this!
I have tried to find something similar for Android but I haven't found even a decent PDF Reader, let alone having special features!
Do you know any good apps?
Actually the adobe PDF reader for android isn't that bad ... If your in portrait mode it displays the full page and in landscape mode it fits the width

I know, it's not bad but it' not as good as apps on iPhone, I just want to know if there's a better solution!

I hope that Goodreader will come to android one day. Its outstanding app that I used much on iphone and ipad and I miss it the most.
All pdf readers are not even close to goodreader...
Got the ezPDF Reader, it does nearly everything GoodReader does! Check it out!!!

I have also found the Aldiko reader to be a good alternative to GoodReader... Although I would like GoodReader to come out with an Android version....
How in earth aldiko reader is an alternative to goodreader? Please do not mislead people. The difference between two apps in terms of pdf handling is like day&night

About GoodReader for Android
Hi there,
Just want to add one of the key features of GoodReader is the ability to keep in sync specific folders from DropBox / SugarSync / Google Drive... Its not just for PDF, you can open any type of Docs, Photos and even Videos... I mean its great...
I recently migrated from my iPhone 4S to a Samsung Galaxy SIII, with the disappointing of the iPhone 5 and iOS 6 I finally decided to give Android a test drive and its really great all the liberty you have to do stuff in the phone... The only thing I missed in iPhone is the iPod and GoodReader....
We should create a Featured Request with some significant amount of people to ask GoodReader developers to make this app for Android. I already tried with no luck, the answer was plain and simple: "We will note be developing GoodReader for Android cause its especifically designed for iOS"... An Apple Blind Fan?

The thing is that iOS doesn't have file managers like in android. That's why GoodReader is so good on iOS because is able to behave like a file manager under the limitations of iOS.
In Android we have a lot of file managers that do exactly what you want like sync to another services. You only have to search for file managers. I recommend Solid Explorer Beta 2 which I think is the best file manager at the moment.
Sorry for reviving an old thread, but is there really still no android app that can match Goodreader in terms of speed, smoothness and the ability to handle extremely large PDF files?
I've tried all the ones recommended here on my galaxy s3 and nexus 10, but they're nothing compared to Goodreader on my iPad 2.
Any apps on the android market that can compare to GoodReader? There has to be something close
what a shame
very sad... just gave up my ipad for a nexus 7.. before swapping I asked in different places for apps that behaved like GoodReader... lots of recommendations, not that I finally changed I noticed it was all bull.... there is absolutely NOTHING that handles documents like GoodReader on android... NOT EVEN CLOSE....
VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED...
Hi All. I know this is more related to Android but after your thoughts on programs to view and edit office documents, in particularly excel.
I've recently looked at Office 365 but unsure how well it works on Android and a 1280x800 screen, also not sure how much data it will suck when hotspotted with my phone.
Polaris office came stock on my galaxy s2 and find that not to be overly feature full, nor are any of the others from my understanding, in particular excel.
Yeh I know the Prime is not a laptop or desktop replacement but I would probably use it for the odd bit of work if it had something better than Polaris Office.
Quickoffice Pro HD or Documents to Go
Both handle office 2010 files
Thanks for the reply.
But I realise there are many that handle office 2010 files, with none that completely stand out are more personal preference, but they aren't exactly fully functional. Polaris is meant to be reasonable but I found it is no where near deep in functionality. For example, I have found Excel is not useful for anything but very basic spreadsheets.
But Office 365 is meant to be fully functional, but cloud based, and searching didn't say how well it worked on an android tablet
One thing I've always found really helpful is Google Documents. You can create, edit and share documents in it.
Write it in Google Docs, edit it on your computer before sending it. As an online college student, it has made my life a whole lot easier. It's free as well so it's worth checking out
**edit**
I forgot to mention that you can create on a phone but download onto a computer where you can add your specific formatting later. This means you don't necessarily have to have a full featured office package on your phone as long as your computer has interwebz and can get to gDocs.
Cheers. I'll give it a go on my galaxy s2 while I wait patiently for the asus prime
I knew about google docs but not really looked at it much.

Also remember that the tablet version of quickoffice pro hd is tablet exclusive and have a different UI and more advanced functions than the phone based quickoffice pro.
As you said, none of the android specific office suites are full featured, but I think that they're getting closer. Also, they do provide functionality that most users would think is complete. It'll be a long time before you see pivot tables and odbc hooks in tablet office suites.
I found this.

Looks like it works pretty well... I don't have or use it but I figure you could try it out and see if it does the trick.

Hi All!
As it says in the title, can someone recommend a good note taking application that has a desktop application?
I've read a bit about the topic and Evernote comes to mind. However, it's not free. Thanks in advance.
Bumping this to the first page. :angel:
AFAIK, Evernote is free with additional features added in a premium subscription. If you are looking to something completely free and lightweight, try Google Keep, it provides web access and also Chrome extension.

Yes, Evernote is indeed free up to a certain point but 60MB, even for full text notes, isn't sufficient.
I tried migrating my notes to Keep right now and I think this might actually work. I've read about it in the past but it didn't appeal to me because of the lack of an actual desktop client (I never used Chrome Apps before). Thanks for suggesting it!
Pros:
1. Very clean interface
2. Offline note taking and viewing in both the Chrome Application (More on this later) and the mobile client.
3. All features are free!
4. Sync seems to work flawlessly
Cons:
1.Chrome Application means I have to sign in to Chrome and disable all syncing except for Apps as I don't like syncing my data onto Google.
2. Chrome Application is preventing me from maximizing notes as I edit them. I have wall-of-text type of notes and this really hurts my eyes. I suppose this can be remedied by changing my note taking habits.
3. I can't re-order my notes. They are shown in ascending order by date created?
All in all I think I can make this work. I just need to re-arrange my notes for this specific application. If anyone else has any input or can show me how to relieve myself of the OCD inducing annoyances I've found so far, please chime in
I haven't really used Google keep yet (already a long time user of evernote) but have you looked into one note by Microsoft? It has a free version. Lifehacker.com just did an in depth comparison of evernote and one note. Might be worth looking in to.

Yes, I recently saw that article. But this completely shut down the idea for me. Apparently, I'm only able to use this in the paid version:
Create notebooks on your PC. Create notebooks saved to your hard drive (offline) in addition to being saved to your OneDrive. Being able to work with notebooks offline as well as online is great for anyone with a spotty network connection or those who are always on the go.

But, I'm not so sure I understand what it means. Basically, I need to be able to access my notes offline (I don't have a mobile data plan) and once online, be able to sync them again. Since you folks seem to have experience using it, can you tell me how it works?
Honestly, I was able to see the UI of OneNote and it seemed a lot more appealing to me.
I tried out one note briefly awhile ago and it should do what you want. The paragraph you quoted seems to say the same. The notes are saved offline and they sync with your one drive account.

The paragraph I quoted is specifically under the "What do I get in the premium version of this application" section. However, I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. I'll download it now and see how it functions. Will let you guys know. Thanks for the advice!:good:

I still wasn't able to find the time to test out the free version of OneNote. Been a bit busy today. I suppose I could take a note that I should test OneNote in Google Keep which I'm currently using
I'll make a short review once I'm done doing just that.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
Edit - It seems I haven't found the time to review OneNote. In addition, Keep serves me very well. The only real caveat I have with it is the inability to reorder my notes.
Edit 2- It seems my brain is tired and after a week with no suggestions from other users, I've finally figured out how to move notes around.
One simply needs to click and drag the notes around. < How I didn't figure this one out seems baffling to me. I need to exercise my brain more :'(
Hi, I own a Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 and, I am an educator.
The Tab S6 with its S-Note is a real gem to create quality lecture notes however, in terms of accessibility I find it poor. I mean once the notes are created if I want to access them from say my mobile phone it is very difficult. Right now I have to share the notes in pdf to my drive, and only then I can view them from my mobile phone which is not practical.
I was wondering is there any alternative whereby I could sync my S-Notes such that:
It can be viewed from my mobile phone (Which by the way is the Xiaomi Poco F3)?
It can be edited too?
Now in case what I am asking is not ethical and or not realistic, do you guys rate the Nebo app as an alternative. I have watched some reviews on the app and it seems nice. But, before making any purchase, I would like to hear about your experience with this app. I have bought Noteshelf it is great, but I feel the S-Note is still more robust in comparison.
Thanks in advance for your input, have a nice day!
idk for sure since i only own 2 samsung devices (tab+note) but cant you just install the apk on your poco?
