Finally a good Office Suite for Tablet

Hi,
I bought today the last version of Thinkfree Office Mobile HD ( 4.1.110728 especially designed for honeycomb ) and I found it very very good
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tf.thinkdroid.hdamarket
I tried Quickoffice HD , Documents to go , Picsel Smart Office but for me Thinkfree is much better.
It has a very good compatibility with MS office documents ( Word, Excel and Powerpoint ) and it is optimized for use with tablet ...
finally i can use the tablet instead of my laptop also for work !!

Not bad.....no dropbox or Google docs is a deal killer for anyone that already has their life set up.

Yeah, it's not perfect , but i read that Google docs support will be a next feature.
For dropbox I open docs through the dropbox app , not a big trouble

hm, 10 bucks. I already have quick office but imo it kinda sucks. I was gonna just use splashtop to RDP to my desktop at home but my school's network blocks it, those dicks.

It's pretty crashy.
That and the weirdo line wrapping made me refund/uninstall it.

ssh port forwarding is your friend

I don't see why this is so good. I prefer QuickOffice HD Pro myself over this one.

In my case, the layout of the complex word documents (with tables and images floating) is much better the Quickoffice HD and have best supporting excel pages with complex formulas.
Horrid instead is the management of line wrapping on Thinkfree ...

I think so too.
I bought this app in realease day.
But this app needs more features.
But i satisfied.

imo, not a winner, yet... no dropnox and couldn't open a couple of my word and dtg files... however, best ui out there and good rendering of some files that dtg and picsel disformed... lots of promise if upgraded and supported... good enough to keep, update and watch, but I'll keep using dtg primarily and picsel secondarily and just use this when neither works until it is improved. For those using quickoffice, though, I think this would be an upgrade... but I thout QO-HD was such a poc I uninstalled and ate my losses.

Im gonna try this

BBC Iplayer Working and how to, with files

Been trying for about two days to get this working, was really annoying me that when i got the nexus 7, i could not use i player.
So here it is for the others that are having problems with it.
Install the two apk's attached.
If you have been trying to get it working with other versions of iplayer and flash, please go into app manager and clear the cache and data of these apps before opening them.
go to apps and launch i player and enjoy.
No need to use other browsers now.

just installed those files, working well. thanks.

Nice one cheers

I have installed BBC iPlayer and flash player and cleared the data like you said but when I open BBC iplayer chrome opens up and says I ned to update flash. What should I do thank you

Simple indeed but The picture quality is a bit crud with this method _ if u install flash and Firefox or dolphin mini and set to desktop user agent you can just go to the iPlayer website and select and the stream adjusts to your bandwidth and you can view the HD streams too! You have to put up with the flakiness of flash in a browser but you can still watch in glorious techno vision.

Works great,but couldn't get dolphin to work with flash and Firefox isn't compatible,so I'm really grateful for this until we get an official app.

Fantastic all working.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Edited: I meant to say use the Firefox beta from play and then set request desktop - then go to normal iPlayer website.
So far is most stable way to get high quality viewing and HD options. HD stuff looks awesome - other versions just look poo in comparison.
If u want to show someone iPlayer on N7 then the above is the easiest and best imo

Funny thing that, im no expert here, but when i wiped the Nexus and re installed the i player and flash as i said above, i got the same thing. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could explain. But also i Rooted the device and set the dpi to 160 for tabley mode before i installed. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I installed Firefox Beta from the play store, it works if before going to the iplayer site you set it to Desktop mode.

Nice one, works a treat!

That's because here in the UK we pay a hefty licence fee for the privilege.
I was using firefox beta + sideloaded flash, but will give this a go. Thanks OP.

What did you use your $25 credit on?

So far I've only bought nova launcher prime. Great dev, great launcher features, well worth the price.

For people who follow Rss feeds and use google reader i can recommend the app "reader hd". There is a free and paid version. Has list and magazine layout, light and dark holo theme, can mobilize feeds, highly customizable, good widget, phone & tablet layout and got already an update for nexus 7.

Is anyone else unable to use their credit? I have no idea if I'm doing something wrong but the credit is in my account and when I try to purchase something, it gets stuck on "Authorizing Payment" forever then says my transaction was declined even though the money was taken out of my balance. But it return after 24 hours...

Edit: Asked others about a game...just found out it had in-app purchases. So...no interest anymore. LOL

Which do you prefer for magazines? Kindle app, Next Issue or G.play

Morning everyone!
My now fiancé bought me a 7" tab2 for our anniversary and so far love it. Only thing I couldn't find info on was reviews on reading books/magazine on this tablet. Do you guys have any opinions on the reading magazines through kindle or google play?
Thanks in advance

Happy anniversary! I really like the Kindle app. I use it on all my devices for books and magazines. Easy to use and it is nice having everything sync and auto delivered.

I use Zinio to read magazines, sometimes you found good deals in subscriptions

Thank you for the respones guys!
I have Flipboard and Currents already on the tab since I loved them so much on my GNex. I also read my comics through comixology which is pretty good I'm just having difficulty setting up a year subscription for (The Walking Dead on there). I'll keep an eye on on the kindle app but I already see some mags. I want to subscribe to are either Fire or iOS only.

What cool things to do with Nexus 7?

As the title says, what do you do or can be done?
I haven't really found any cool things to do with the tablet. Other than watching movies on a bigger screen than a phone, I haven't really used it for anything different that I can't do on my phone (albiet a bit slower)

Use ur ps3 control to play games

A few guys here have replaced the indash stereo in their car with the N7. Looks pretty good too.

get all the square enix games. final fantasy 3 is so fun to play on nexus 7 rather than my 4" incredible 4g. Also chaos rings is fun as well as wild blood

Control your computer remotely using Splashtop 2 or TeamViewer, both for free.

+1 for Splashtop 2
If you have a Linux machine, install ConnectBot on your Nexus 7 and SSH into your home computer.
Another thing that seems to impress folks is when I use BubbleUPnP to connect to my home PC over the Internet to watch movies.
Speaking of movies and SSH, login to a Linux machine with mplayer installed and watch a movie in ASCII (works best with cartoons):
Code:
$ mplayer -vo caca Aladdin.mp4

It's replaced my Sat-nav, and no it's not mounted on the windshield, its just below the air vents. Also used an NFC tag on the holder so when I put the tablet on the holder, it fires up the navigation app automatically
Also using it to control my TV as other users have suggested

Well it already has adb. Just open a terminal and type adb! You also can get fastboot on it (search xda for fastbootarm). And you would need a usb otg cable. Not sure if it works too well (my cable hasn't arrived yet), but you could also install Ubuntu and do it from there.
