International Travel? Hi all, I have a question: I'm travelling out of the USA for the first time - yay! for work - boo! I'll be in Munich, Germany for about two weeks, and I need to be able to use my phone for data, calls & sms while out of the country - I have TMobile for my provider now...

NVM - fixed it by using TWRP instead of CWM, wiping everything and reinstalling

Hi there, I just flashed: wiped everything Installed the latest DU zip and the Gapps zip I'm running into an issue - The screen flashes back to the boot animation in the middle of things and then takes me to the unlock screen / graphics glitches / input issues. Any ideas on what I did...

No worries on the advert front - I get a little frustrated with the keyboard myself, so I'm kind of shopping for a new one to use. I'd have to agree with you - Quickoffice > Polaris (but I'm biased :D)

Not sure on responsiveness because I'm on stock, but I've definitely noticed that the phone is slippery. If I set it on a table on top of an iPad or Nexus tab, it's likely to slide off on its own, It falls out when I try to squish my head to my shoulder with it, and it shoots around my car...

Ah! I'm fortunate to work in an environment where cloud computing is not frowned upon (it's actively encouraged), so that tends to be the first thing I think about.

There was an adjustment period for him - how do I get X, where can I find apps, where is X setting. He was a little pouty at the beginning of the process, but after a month or so, he's up and running and very happy. The main thing that he missed was a collection settings that covered all apps...

On the android side of things, there are some pretty good alternatives (especially if your company is on Google Apps) for note taking and archiving. There's Drive + Docs + Quickoffice for times when you need more complex documents, or evernote for times when you need plain text and files and...

Two semi serious questions: 1. How does Polaris feel like a paranoid uncle (I'm genuinely curious - I work for QO and use it fairly often when testing things for customers or just spying on our "competition"'s apps)? 2. It looks like the Galaxy 2 tab can get Jellybean - do you really need...

Definitely get back and let us know if you have any questions - I just held my boyfriend's hand through his iPhone to Nexus 4 transition (I give great Valentines presents!), so I'm sure some of your questions will either pop up for him or already have. :)

I think (and mind you this is all my own thoughts through observation/reading news), Google is working towards a life in the "cloud", so storage on the device itself kind of defeats the purpose. there's Drive for file management and gdocs, Quickoffice for when you need Office, Google Play Music...

The Nexus 4 quickoffice is just a file viewer (it doesn't even have an app icon), so you'll need to use another application to locate your files to open them in Quickoffice. I recommend using Astro or ES. I've used both and absolutely love them. Obligatory Sales pitch: There's also a file...

Most of our testing is done internally with Google employees, but we're always looking for enthusiastic customers to work with us and be active in our forums - send me a pm with your email so that I can follow up with you if you're interested in participating.

There's a couple things you can try to see if it helps: -try a different usb cable -reboot the phone while connected to the computer -launch finder/explorer and try to navigate to the phone's location (or where it should be) Hope this helps some :)

I dont think this is in order to conserve RAM, I think this gets done to conserve battery (but I may be wrong). I don't know of a way to work around it, but I'm definitely curious if there is one, because there are a couple apps I'd rather not see shut off in the background

So they're essentially saying Polaris doesn't support Android 4.1+, but does support 4.0 - ? (sorry, but that's hard for me to read there)

We're always adding new features to our suite, so it will continue to improve, but I'm not able to comment on any future developments at this time :)

Hi Dave, I do support for Quickoffice, but it seems like some of your needs/preferences make Quickoffice not the best mobile ppt for you. I recently found Softmaker's suite when looking for something for a customer who needed to work with ODF files. They have a trial version available, so it...

If you end up choosing Quickoffice and have any questions, let me know - I'm happy to help. :) And because I kind of have to: Quickoffice for Android supports PDF annotation as well as reading, and works with bookmarks. So friend will have to be jealous of your awesome PDF viewer now. :silly:

I don't really think a dark background helps with it - but dimming the screen definitely does. It's just a lot easier to read and see things on a darker background with a dim screen, IMO. :) It may be because I'm used to an AMOLED screen - my last phone was a One S, and I've had a couple of...

The stock Quickoffice shouldn't drain your battery like that - it's just a document viewer. If you're using the paid version of QO, it may drain your battery a little because of it running in the background keeping files active. Just save and close any files you're working on then close...

Most of the cards in Google Now are automatically populated based upon your google apps - so gmail pulls in flight/shipping information, calendar pulls in reminders, maps will remember your most visited locations, contacts will let you add work and home addresses, etc. for full details of...

I recently read online that it would be available via Walmart. Best bet is to call locations in the area and ask for the electronics department. Other stores like Fry's or best buy may have it as well. Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Banned for not knowing a grueling (sp?) light saber battle when he sees one. That's the kiss of death right there. :D Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Re: [HELP THREAD] Nexus 4. Ask any question. The custom launcher is a separate app. The first time you load your home screen after you install one you'll be prompted to pick an app to use. Pick your new launcher and tap always. :) A lot of custom ROM developers replace the stock launcher with...

I'm very clumsy and don't have any case on mine. It's survived 3-4 waist high drops into tile and concrete with just a couple scuffs on the bevel ;) Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium Edited because of predictive text...

My minimal, don't forget meetings, tweet like a maniac home screen: Stock Rom + Nova Launcher + Glass Widgets

I'm glad you <3 gmail again - it's a pretty neat tool I do work for Google on the Quickoffice team (I'm the support manager :eek:). We don't have any specific plans that we can share at this time - we're not able to comment on product plans until the information is officially made public. If we...

You can fix this pretty quick: 1. login to gmail 2. go to settings >filters > Create new 3. in the to field, put your email address 4. Click create filter with this search 5. Check the box for mark as read - along with any other bulk action you'd like (skip inbox, etc) 6. Check the box for "also...

The latest version (5.7) supports viewing animations & transitions :)

You can shortcut to documents using a FM app like Astro. You can also use this to create shortcuts to books as well if you have root access, i think.

Quickoffice is part of 4.2 stock - it's a MS Office viewer - you shouldn't see any negative results when you remove/disable it if you're using Kingsoft. If you have any other specific QO questions, let me know!

We're not able to distribute the apk for preinstalled versions of QO, but you can open and view these file types using the preview button in the gmail app. You can also download the full version of Quickoffice from Google Play & be able to edit these documents as well.

I hope you like it! I absolutely love mine - I just got my second one today as my Google employee holiday gift! I mainly use mine as a reader, and compared to the others I've used (Kindle Fire, Kindle, Nook), it's the best.

QO Pro and Pro HD are both available for the Nexus 7, but I'd recommend picking Pro HD over Pro (it's essentially a difference in UI). The main reason is the HD file manager is a little more intuitive, and supports drag and drop, whereas Pro requires checkboxes and cut/copy/paste operations.

Just to make sure to clarify: You must be a paid Google Apps for Business customer, and even though QO is owned by Google, we're still classified as a third party app (if you have trouble logging it, your Apps admin may have locked out 3rd party apps from accessing Drive). If you still want to...

QO does not have a trial version anymore - we discontinued it at version 4.1. Our viewer will be preloaded on the stock 4.2 Android OS, so you'll be able to see it in action a little. If you have specific file types that you need tested, go to help.quickoffice.com, and send us an example file...

If you move to Quickoffice for Word files: *header/footer will be view only *you can follow but not edit hyperlinks hidden behind words (the difference between seeing http://www.... and "click here") *you should be ok with tables, paragraph formatting, and formatting words (we have most of the...

Let me know if you have any questions on QO feature support - I'll provide any info I can. :)

Quickoffice no longer has a trial (free) version available - Pro is 14.99 USD normally on Google Play, and Pro HD is normally 19.99 USD.

No worries - this is a new user account I set up seperate from my personal for Quickoffice support, and it's under the post limit for links (so I can't provide a direct link). We're actually in the middle of revamping our help site to make it easier to submit tickets, but for the time being...

In that case, you might want to submit a ticket into our system from our help site (link in my profile - click on billing questions, we're in the middle of construction right now). You'll need to set up an account with our help desk before we see your ticket (you'll get instructions via email)...

Are you trying to open from local storage, email attachment, downloaded file, cloud app (which one)?
