Good Alternative to Google Docs App?

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

How to Sync my life using my Galaxy S3?

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.

Top Apps That Require Google Services, and a Workaround for Huawei Phones

It’s no secret that Huawei’s latest flagship phones does not support Google Apps. At launch, there was a way to sideload the GMS and Google Play Services, but that was quickly taken down. That leaves us in a weird place. We have this flagship Android phone but a limited app store, the Huawei AppGallery, and no Google apps or services.
We wouldn’t really know this we use require GMS to download or to use. That doesn’t mean there aren’t work-arounds for Google’s own services or some other apps. Below are some of the 10 most popular apps and services and how we managed to get them working on the Huawei Mate 30 Pro without GMS or Google services installed.
Watch the Video Here
APK Pure
Since we don’t have Google apps, that means no Google Play Store. Going around and searching for each new app update and apk as they are released is annoying to say the least. APK Pure is an app store that essentially replaces the Google Play Store. It’s a better service to use than downloading APKs directly because it supports installing split APKs. This means apps like Spotify can be installed through APK Pure even if you can’t sideload the APK normally. It will even handle installing updates!
To install APK Pure, all you need to do is sideload the APK Pure app. Once installed, you can search for and install any apps you please. It makes for a very good replacement to the Google Play Store.
You can install APK Pure pretty easily
Download the APK linked below
Install it.
Enjoy your new App Store.
APK Pure
Telegram
Telegram is one of the apps that doesn’t require GMS at all. You can sideload it and use it normally. The only downside of not having GMS installed is the lack of location services. Many apps, including Telegram, require GMS for finding and sharing your location in an app. Telegram, being one of those apps, won’t have access to your location without GMS. This isn’t a huge deal as every other feature works perfectly. To install this app, you can install it through APK Pure or download it through APK Mirror and install the APK yourself.
Installing Telegram is actually really simple.
Open APK Pure
Search for “Telegram”
Select Telegram and hit “Install”
Enjoy your honestly amazing messaging client
Telegram on APK Pure
Gmail
Gmail is a bit of a special case. For Gmail, there is no app that will work. Other email apps like Outlook work, but Gmail doesn’t. That doesn’t stop the web version from working. You can easily just go to the Gmail website and have full access to Gmail and your email. It isn’t as great as the app, but in a situation like this, it’s the best you can get and it’s good enough for the basics.
Gmail Website
Skype
Skype is one of the older and most loved chat platforms. I’ve had it for years and it’s easy to use and honestly just great. Luckily, not having Google isn’t going to stop you from being able to speak to your friends and family on Skype. Everything in the app works perfectly fine without the need for GMS.
To install Skype, it’s simple, just use APK Pure.
Open APK Pure
Search for “Skype”
Select Skype and click “Install”
Enjoy Skyping your friends and family
WhatsApp
WhatsApp is probably one of the most popular chatting apps worldwide. There are over 1 billion people on WhatsApp. WhatsApp can’t just leave you in the dark if you don’t have Google services, so they don’t require it. That’s right, you can use WhatsApp on the Huawei Mate 30 Pro without it. It works perfectly with no features missing.
Installing is as easy as pie as well.

Facebook
Last but not least, Facebook. Facebook doesn’t require Google Services what-so-ever. You can just sign into your account and it will work perfectly.

Installing Facebook is also super easy to install

Select Facebook and click “install”
Facebook is now installed and works, sign in and catch up with your friends.

Twitter
Twitter, like Instagram, doesn’t require any PWAs or require GMS. All you need to do is side load the app and it works! Just like Telegram, it won’t be able to find your location. This generally isn’t an issue though, you can just type in a location to find it. Installing this is just as simple as the others, all you need to do is sideload the APK and it will work.
You can easily install Twitter with a few clicks
Go to APK Pure

Spotify
Spotify is one of the great apps that doesn’t require GMS what-so-ever. All you will need to do is install the APK through APK Pure. Spotify does use split APKs which means you won’t be able to sideload just once APK like many other apps. Once installed, it will function normally. You can sign in using Facebook or your Spotify account, everything works.
To install Spotify, it’s really simple.
Open the APK Pure app store
Search for “Spotify”
Select Spotify and click “Install”
Follow the prompts to install Spotify

YouTube
YouTube is by far the largest video media site on the internet. It has almost every video you would ever want to watch. It has so much and can entertain you for hours on end. Sadly, YouTube requires GMS as it is a Google app. Luckily, there are alternatives.
The first alternative is just using the YouTube website. You can go to YouTube.com on the Huawei Browser and have full access to your account. It will also allow you to sign into your account and view all your recommended videos.
The next way to get it working is using YouTube Vanced and MicroG. Luckily, neither of these apps require root. Installing is pretty simple as well.
Download the MicroG and YouTube Vanced APKs
Install both MicroG and YouTube Vanced
You can now sign into your Google account and view all your recommended videos and subscriptions
YouTube Vanced and MicroG APKs
Google Photos
Google Photos is the absolute best service Google has ever released. It allows you to store all your photos in a high quality formats. This is an amazing service, but sadly, it will crash without GMS installed. That means you won’t be able to use the Google Photos app. Instead, you can use the website. The Google Photos website allows you to view every picture you’ve taken and synced with Google Photos along with allowing you to upload photos to Google Photos.
Alternatively, you can use the Huawei Gallery app. The Huawei Gallery app allows you to sync data with Google as well. Using stock apps on your phone is always better than alternatives, so syncing with Huawei Gallery with Google data could really be your best bet.
If you aren’t into Huawei’s Gallery and want to use Google Photos, you can use the Google Photos website. It is really simple, all you need to do is sign into the mobile website through the Huawei Browser app. It has a great and easy to use UI along with the ability to upload photos.
Google Photos Website
Google Maps
Believe it or not, Google Maps is one of the few Google apps that actually works on EMUI 10 without Google apps. The full app doesn’t work, but the main and most important ones do. You are able to search for locations and navigate to the location. You can’t sign into your account or use previous locations through location history, but the main, and most important, parts of the app works.
To install Google Maps, its actually really simple.
Open the APK Pure app store
Search for “Google Maps”
Select Google Maps and click “Install”
Enjoy Google Maps!
Google Maps on APK Mirror || Google Maps on APK Pure
Look, Google services are a huge part of Android, but that doesn’t mean you need them. It’s not going to be a perfect experience using a Huawei Mate 30 Pro without Google apps, but it works and most important services you might be interested in running on the phone should work well. There will be an outlier here and there, but most of the time it will be fine.
I bought my Mate 30 Pro, the Chinese LIO-AL00 variant, before the Google app ban and I was disappointed to see it was. As I used the phone without Google apps, I realized that they are less and less necessary if you are willing to work around it. The hardware and cameras are just so good, it’s worth the trade-off of ease of use for that amazing hardware and camera.

If you aren’t into Huawei’s Gallery and want to use Google Photos, you can use the Google Photos website. It is really simple, all you need to do is sign into the mobile website through the Huawei Browser app. It has a great and easy to use UI along with the ability to upload photos.

Google Maps
Believe it or not, Google Maps is one of the few Google apps that actually works on EMUI 10 without Google apps. The full app doesn’t work, but the main and most important ones do. You are able to search for locations and navigate to the location. You can’t sign into your account or use previous locations through location history, but the main, and most important, parts of the app works.
To install Google Maps, its actually really simple.
Open the APK Pure app store
Search for “Google Maps”
Select Google Maps and click “Install”
Enjoy Google Maps!

Look, Google services are a huge part of Android, but that doesn’t mean you need them. It’s not going to be a perfect experience using a Huawei Mate 30 Pro without Google apps, but it works and most important services you might be interested in running on the phone should work well. There will be an outlier here and there, but most of the time it will be fine.
I bought my Mate 30 Pro, the Chinese LIO-AL00 variant, before the Google app ban and I was disappointed to see it was. As I used the phone without Google apps, I realized that they are less and less necessary if you are willing to work around it. The hardware and cameras are just so good, it’s worth the trade-off of ease of use for that amazing hardware and camera.
