[Q] Reading scanned text pdfs - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just wondered what people use to read scanned text PDFs. I find myLibrary doesnt show images to high enough resolution. In fact it downsamples them. Polaris is really choppy with large images and again doesnt show smooth text. adobe reader is the best for iage quality and readability but has no library facility and is very slow resizing. I have a lot of scanned documents to read. Anyone suggest better software?

repligo,it's fast and will keep the quality

ditto to above.
also, you might want to consider just using jpeg's when you scan instead of pdf... the gallery is really smooth and responsive.

Bad JPG compression in Photos and Videos

The photos I have added to my phone from my PC look bad in the Touch Flo application's Photos and Videos page. They have massive JPG compression artifacting. The photos that were in the phone, and any photos I have taken with the built in camera look great. When I click on the photos to look at them full screen, they all look great, but it's just in the screen where you can "flip" through the photos that they look bad. I moved a photo from the memory card to the phone to see if that was the issue, but it still looked bad.
It's probably not that big of a deal, as the more photos I get loaded to the phone, the less likely I am to even use this "flip" function, as it would take all day to flip through a hundred photos.
On another note, what photo apps do people like that lets you organize lots of photos well?
Am I the only one with this issue? Or am I the only one that uses the built in app?
I'm no expert, but it sounds to me like the issue stems from a lack of resizing images for your screen resolution in the software. Remember, windows mobile is an inefficient hunk of junk. Just like Vista and, to a lesser extent, XP.
As such, developers rarely consider anything graphically or processor intensive when writing code (or they are simply lazy). Either way, sounds to me like the software simply can't re-size the images to fit your screen properly.
I bought a low-end digital picture frame for my grandmother a few years back. Almost all the pictures we uploaded to the thing looked horrible! Except for those images which mached it's native resolution. Go figure.
Why do pictures taken from your camera work? Dunno. I too would like to find a good photo organizer for my phone.
Just be glad your phone even takes pictures! My AT&T fuze camera flaked out, i can take pictures and view the thumbnails, but when viewing fullsize, I get a bunch of green blocks!!! (REALLY considering flashing that leaked rom and seeing how that goes)

can any one explain the systematization behind the picasa and the 3D gallery

i wonder
can any one explain me the systematization behind the picasa and the 3D gallery
the reason i am asking this is because i am confused by the way the gallery choose to order the photo it seems that it is by the order of the upload which is doesn't make sense.
another thing and more important is the way it is splitting the photos to groups
it should be by date and geolocation but what i get is:
for example,
first group (dec 8 2010) with 21 photos
second group (dec 8 2010) with 1 photo
* both groups with the same geolocation
sometimes it is split to 3 groups with the same date even photos with few minutes intervals
any ideas how to avoid this
its really bad when you have 1000 picture and instead having 10~15 groups you have 25~30
please Help
(i am using Nexus S, CM7)
UP PLease !!!
I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing it relies on the media scanner process, and service in the Android system that automatically scans your SD card for media files. And when the media scanner detects new photos, the gallery probably just throws them into their own group without considering how they relate to the other groups present. At least that's how it seems to happen.
I'm guessing the ordering of albums is so strange because it doesn't order albums. They appear in the way that they're internally cached, which will depend on a few different factors all mostly out of your control.
Honestly, I despise the default gallery with a burning passion. Sure, it's got a cheesy 3D effect that makes it all shiny and 2.0, but it's slow as hell, has several small but irritating problems (like everything you're talking about) and lacks any real features at all.
I use QuickPic myself. It's simpler: it presents your albums in a 2D grid, but it gives you a bit more control via the settings. Its big plus is, it's very fast. It picks up new images instantly, it renders the albums and individual pictures very quickly even when they're very large, and it can do so without lagging at all. The default gallery would lag like crazy whenever it tried to render newly-added content, and that's on my Evo 4G that I've done some work to optimize. I can only imagine how people deal with the default gallery on a slower phone.
Is there a version of Web Albums for ipad on Android? Or something equivalent.
The best thing about Web Album is it not only access your Picasa storage the way it is meant to be but also offers the option to cache your photos on your device (ipad).
That way, I solve the organization issue & maintains consistency across multiple devices.
Edit: Still looking for equivalent to Picasa for home videos though.... Any tips?

This program doesn't show the picasa web albums
so its not really a substitute for the Built in Gallery
Do you have any solution for that

[Q] Make/draw notes any time in any app?

Hi All,
I'm studying an online course and have been trying to find the easiest way to make notes on my xoom (which can then be shared to other systems).
I really like skitch, has just the right elements of note taking, highlighting, making quick presentation type slides, and storage (evernote). However I'm using dolphin browser plugin to screen capture a webpage (low quality capture) then import into skitch, scribble notes then saving to evernote. I could save the webpages to pdf with I think higher quality results but skitch doesn't support pdf - so if there's another program that supports drawing on pdf that could be a solution.
I wondered if there was a background app (appreciate it may impact performance) where I could hit a button to capture the screen or area of the screen (regardless of which browser or app I'm using at the time) scribble a note on it and save the picture? Preferably to a notebook app but just to gallery would be fine. I think this is how the HTC Flyer works (with the addition of digitiser for pen input). Anyone know of any app like this? OR have suggestions of how they work with / make notes on webpages?
This has become longer than I was expecting and as I wrote I realised it may be quite a specific set of requirements but all suggestions are welcome (already considering switching to a flyer).
Thank you

PDF Reader for Galaxy tab 2 7"

I have tried most available PDF readers in play store, but none is capable of making the pdf to fit to screen in portrait mode. PDF file in portrait mode loses space in top and bottom of the screen in portrait mode and makes less readable, when having small fonts in the doc. also stretching the page everytime for bulky books with 400+ pages makes life tougher. is there any free app that supports this functionality? or is there any work around for this?
for info, the pdfs that i read mostly has images as well in it for illustration.
thanks
