All I see is little android guy with paperclip.
Why is it that so many things that should work out of the box on this phone requires a forum post? Maybe I'm just slow today.
Did you install the free office viewer? Search captivate in the market.

Quickoffice for Captivate.
I tried that.
But thanks for your post I gave it another go, and now, I have found my issue: .... the email attachment I used for my experiment was a PPTX and it doesn't recognize it ... only PPT
I re-did the experiment with a PPT attachment and it is fine.

You can download the free (read-only) version of Documents To Go app. This one supports PPTX. The QuickOffice app leaves a lot to be desired by it gives you capability to edit office docs as well as PDF viewing for free. So I had both on my phone.
Im looking for the e reader app that was on the demo vid Samsung put out about a month back. Im not talking about the mag, newspaper, book one. there was also an app that only said "ebook" or something like that under the icon. It had a bookshelf and good looking animations when a book was opened (page turn etc. . .). I d/l Kobo but that does not look like the one Samsung was demoing, and kobo does not have any type of lage turn anamations. I have the US T Mobile version and it seems like it was removed for some reason. does anyone know what im talking about and does amyone have the apk for this?

Well, looking at it, it's certainly not Amazon Kindle or Aldiko. Possibly Kobo?

I d/l Laputa and it looks and acts almost the exact way the demo was showing..save for a few things..but that may be just Samsung customizing the app for its own use. Anyone here with the EU version that has this installed?
I'll have to look at the Nook reader and see how that one works..
The Laputa reader work very well and has very smooth page turning effects..so far I'm liking this one.
Here you go:
Maybe in exchange I could get my hands on the media hub from the US version. That, or maybe the demo versions of NOVA or Asphalt5 (not the market version) that came pre-installed on your device.

how do you install this? i unzipped it and its a ebook folder.
I think I know what your problem is: if I remember correctly, the .apk format is itself just a renamed .zip, so your unzipping tool is probably working a bit overzealously, and extracting both. Make sure you only unzip one level, and you'll be fine.
I found that the instructions in the last post here work.
androidtablets.net/forum/samsung-galaxy-tab/2279-no-signs-reader-hub-us-galaxy-tab.html
Download the files and do what he says.
Worked in my Tmo Galaxy Tab.
News and Kobo reader worked in ReadersHub and the magazines app worked in the Readin app.

Tried to install it on every possible way, them I installed the nook reader (eu user have to use market enabler and fake themself as american to download it) from the market.
Page turn animation and double page in landscape, and that is what I wanted from the samsung app. And it's even implemented better!

Yep, full epub support, you have to put your books in /sdcard/Nook/MyDocuments amd you may have to open "my files" a pair of time for the books to appear.

Does anyone know the location of an eBook once you tell it to make it available offline?
Or
I've got some eBooks that I would like to make available to the Books app on the XOOM, where do I put them?
You beat me to it, I was just wondering the same. I have several thousand books I would like to be able to drop in.

It appears to be a proprietary book format, but I don't know enough about it for sure.
Each book is split up into many different files. I've transfered it to my computer to investigate it further, but I've had no luck.
I went looking when I first got the Xoom because I wanted to put my book collection in there.
Someone smarter than me will have to figure out how to do that!
The only alternative I've found so far is using Aldiko (ebook reader from the Market). You store the eBooks on the XOOM and import them into the app. I would prefer to use Google Books however.
That's incredibly frustrating. Even iBooks allows you to add your own epub. If Google Book a can't that's a huge setback for me. I read a couple hours a day on my tablet.

The nook app has a very similar page turn animation and I think the app in general looks better on honeycomb than both kindle and google books. Maybe give that one a try!

Nook is only available to US users (and maybe certain other countries, but I'm not sure). People outside of US can't download nook. You have to find a way to sideload it to your Xoom if you are not in the US.
And Nook has problems displaying book covers from my own epubs. So I'm sticking to Kindle but converting to mobi format may be a hassle to some.
How did you manage to successfully import your mobi files to Kindle?
I have tried copying the files to the SD card location which makes them appear in the app but the app crashes when I try to open them. I have also tried opening them with the Kindle app from my file manager. Again, this was unsuccessful.
Thanks for your help in advance!

have u guys tried iReader?
awesomely free!
I know its been awhile since this was last commented honest and maybe Google has updated Play Books since the last comments, regardless im pretty sure that it now doesnt matter where you get your digital content. Play Books will permit you to upload them and read across multiple devices. I have a fairly decent collection and i go back and forth between my Note III & Note VIII. If the book that you want to read isnt on the particular device that your using, Play Books downloads it. I have been unsuccessful in finding the default directory for the appand it was that very question that brought me to this post. :good:
So I saw that progress is being made with root being available so I went ahead and bought the at&t htc one, its nice and lighter than my inspire. So maybe not having an sd card slot isnt going to be that bad with all the cloud storage available so I'd like to know from you guys using it which are the better cloud apps I should use where transferring media/docs is secure and fast. I'm pretty sure with this nice camera I'd like to take pics/video and not worry about space. I'm not so sure I'm interested in the dropbox offer for this phone where its only good for 2 years? I know I have 50GB on box.com but I think there are file transfer size limitations? Honestly never used it as I prefer my old trusty sd card.
Also, whats the best root method for this device?
You've got five gigs in google drive , I use box and dropbox no file limits on db, as for box I believe it's 100 mb limits with uploads, I've uploaded a few nandroids from gnex to bix with no prob
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
lol there is only 1 method to root .
and i use dropbox, configured so that it automatically uploads my pictures from my phone when on wifi
Box is useless for me since there's no sync agent on the desktop. I have 25gb on Skydrive but there's no sync on Android.
It comes down to gDrive an Dropbox. I currently use mostly Dropbox.

when you install dropbox you automatically get 25 gb bonus.*
there is a method to get a ton of free space via referals (i got up to 20 gb with this) going to have to google it because i dont think i can post on here*

the 1 click is perma root
If you're like most, what you'll be moving around is likely to be music, pics, video, and files. One storage solution might not be the best for everything. Here's what I'm doing.
General - I have a home server and everything I have is on there. I stream video I've ripped off of it using Plex and/or PlayOn rather than screwing around with moving GB size files. If I'm traveling I'll download some stuff to watch when offline. Astro has a network module that allows me to move stuff at home and my server's a WHS and there's an app that gives me remote access if I want to d/l stuff on the road. A NAS or home server can be great when you have lots of content you view or share across your home network and remote devices.
Music - I use Amazon MP3 to store all my audio (I have it set to sync with my home server). The player shows what's local and remote via a single interface. It's not the prettiest app in the world but it's reliable and works well. I tried Google Music but didn't like the way it took over my phone.
Pics/Video - The Flickr integration built in to the phone's pretty cool. I moved from Photobucket because of it. I have it set in Sense to automatically upload the pics and videos I take. I use the mobile Flickr site to download and view stuff because adding the dedicated app confused the phone because of its native integration.
Docs and Files - I use Sense for SkyDrive because it's MS Office friendly when I want to share stuff with others. I'll use my home server if it's something I'll just be using myself. MS had a 25GB offer going for people already registered but I don't know if it's still in affect.
Just some real world stuff in case it helps anyone. There are dozens of ways to accomplish the same thing.
I use Google drive for music and drop box for other files. I downloaded an app to sync my music folder with Google drive when a change occurs in the folder. And other media and files to drop box using the same app.
I would however prefer to point the library in my player to Google drive directly or another cloud storage to avoid local copies.

It should be in accounts and sync greyed out or available to add. I have an international version so if AT&T chose to omit it as an "enhancement" let me know and I'll post the APK.

I use dropbox for photos, google music for music and this app called Folder Sync for general stuff.
Dropbox is good, but I have 25 gb on skydive and its amazing how you can use office 2010 on the desktop to edit your skydive files. Don't need to buy office ever again. Can't wait till they have a skydive app that can edit files.
Any news on skydive app for sense?

as far as file size limitations go... I've put files larger than 1GB on Google Drive. The one downside to Google Drive android app is I can't figure out how to copy files from Google Drive to my SDcard storage.
Here are the two SkyDrive APK's I found on the phone. Hope it works for you guys. If it does, you should see SkyDrive for HTC Sense appear in the accounts and sync.

I agree. I've had a free 50gb from Box for a couple of years, but the lack of Sync makes it far less useful. Any use of that space is accomplished manually, which partially defeats the purpose.
Unless I'm missing something - is there a way to get Box files and folders to automatically update, upload, etc.?

I don't think so. You can of course save from a lot of apps on your 700 or other Android to the cloud, and access your files (provided you have some kind of data connection), but automagically... not with the app itself. I saw that an app I have been using for a loooong time with my own FTP server actually supports syncing... <blush>: FolderSync. Will give it a try.
Trial version ("only allows two accounts and has no sync filters or Tasker support" -- enough for testing Box ):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite
Full version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full
EDIT: confirmed working! I really recommend FolderSync for its versatility and all the options it throws at you. Nice to see it actually works.
It works!! Thank you! I also noticed that Polaris Office can save/edit files on Box no problem.
This is a great offer, no strings from what I've been reading in their TOS and 3rd party reports. Seems they just started the offer and who knows how long they will. They do limit the file size per file though. So to move big files, then you have to pay.
One thing to keep in mind about this deal though, they offer zero warranty and zero guarantees of your data being secure. See item#14 of the TOS. But I guess you can't ask for much when it's free .

Thanks for the link - no, I wasn't aware of this, and it does look promising.
It looks like this would work for my phone, but I'll have to see if there's a Windows desktop equivalent. That's where it would be the most useful. I'm currently using IDrive to backup various files and folders on my desktop, in real time. I was able to get 15gb of free storage there, and it does do full sync, but I'd love to be able to do this with my 50gb of free Box storage. As I said, the main limitation with free Box is that it does not provide a sync function. If there's a way to enable this with a 3rd party application, that would be ideal.

Exactly - that's what I was referring to. Box definitely does do real-time sync, but you need one of their paid accounts for this.
I have mixed feelings about paying for cloud-based storage, and have taken a serious look at CrashPlan, SOS Online Backup, etc., to do a full backup of perhaps 300gb+ of photos and files. But I haven't convinced myself this is either practical, reliable, or necessary. I currently have a backup strategy with 2 duplicate internal hard drives, updated nightly, along with a similarly cloned external HD backed up weekly, and then stored off-site.
