So I've been searching around the site but can't really seem to find anything.
My problem is i use safari as browser and for some reason xda works very badly with it, so mainly using the app for Q&A's.

Word app?

Is there an app similar to MS Word like on the WinMo phones? I used word mobile almost daily for work on my Fuze. Now I have to find something to take its place. It doesn't have to use the .doc extension, just have to be able to type up documents on the go.
EDIT: Nevermind, I found an app. It's just kind of a pain in the @ss.

There are a couple in the works but not free...atleast I have not seen a free one. Here is an example: OfficeSuite Pro which can be found in the market. Not trying to spam anything but simply pointing in a direction to answer your question which is yes there are some android apps that work word files and such.

Adfree not working trried everything

Hi
Ive searched this forum from top to bottom and just cant find a right solution.
AdFree is not working fr me what so ever
Ive got ads in Angry Birds Scrabble and quite a lot of other apps
Ive tried Absolute system root
Ive tried some host files (with user R/W Group R Others R) but that did not help either, unless im doing something wrong
Can anyone help ??
Simple guide or even a link to it would do.
Thanks
PS> Sorry if its in the wrong section
Anyone?

Hi,
I think that the best way to stop the adds is manually disable the network before starting the game.
Usually the add-free apps don't work very hell, you try can search for another in the market.
Yeah but disabling data connection is not the point here.
There are games that require internet connection to play and yet have adds..

From what I've been able to piece together from other threads (here or CM forums, I don't remember which) the source files that Adfree relies on have become much less useful lately. Some users seemed to have some luck manually putting-in an older version of the source files.

I found the best force orientation app ever!

I'm here to recommend one to u guys, found it in the market after a few hours.
Since i cant post links, search for 'Display orientator' by RUBBERBIGPEPPER
Well, I've looked the app up on the internet and really I can't find anything really special about it. Could you maybe explain why you think it's so wounderfull?
Here. I think it's actually worth trying! Thanks OP
I was just searching for such an app and stumbled upon this thread.
It seems like a great app. There are some apps that I use daily which do no allow vertical orientation. With this app, I was able to force it....
Thanks!
fantastic and very useful little app, flick golf looks miles better wide screen ;-) . thanks....
Perfect! Just what I've been looking for.

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to bump a 2 months old thread but here goes. It's still relevant now anyway.
It's not the problem whether this app is special or not, it's actually the only app on the market that allows you to force your screen's orientation. Well, there is actually another one but it's not free and the reviews said it's not working properly.
I've had issues with one game where I accidentally kept pressing the softkeys. Used this app to turn the screen 180 degrees and I don't have that problem anymore. Also surfing the internet (I tend to switch between portrait or horizontal when browsing) or watching youtube while lying on bed is no longer a problem.

[Q] Website prob

I am new on xda-dev. I find it very difficult to use this website.
First there were a lot of issues related to registering and login and now after i can login there are so many other prob.
The text jumps and flickers like a monkey for ages, and the page continues to load.
It was even difficult to search for things on the forum or even start a new thread.
Every time i had to keep pressing the browser stop button to stop loading the page.
The image does not loads for image verification and so i can not post any message.
Just for your info i use No script in my browser but even if i allow scripts on this page still i face a lot of trouble.
First you do not let people register, then you do not let them login and then you do not let them search for solutions or start a new thread.
Dont we have a simple version of this site where i could focus just on exactly what i am here for.
I do not need so much of spoon feeding in the name of interactivity and user friendliness.
Please advise.

I can not even use it from my computer.
In some browsers it can not be opened at all.
Too irritating.
Takes ages to post one comment.
Switching over the forum style to classic solved a lot of problem.
But the Captcha image still takes ages to load.
I have to close and reopen the browser many times.
Search still creates a lot of problem.
.
The problem is not why there is Captcha but why is it not opening easily.
Anyway for your info. after a new member posts 10 replies he does not gets captcha
I just wanted suggestion regarding what should be done to be able to easy communicate on this forum. Thanx all of you.
Every time i try to start a new thread, i have to write the title. The system is supposed to search for similar threads. BUT as soon as i do so the entire page refreshes and then there is nothing there on the screen. I have to keep doing that again and again. What a foolish way of making a website. I do not need so much of spoon feeding. Dont we have a simpler interface ?
What you describe never happened to me, even when I was new.
I think you need to focus on troubleshooting your computer/browser instead of complaining about the xda website.

What browsers are you using because I use it with Firefox and Opera without problem on my computer and have even browsed with my phones default browser without issue and am now using the xda app an I have less then 10 posts do you have cookies allowed or JavaScript enabled on your web browsers? That may or may not help

I experienced similar problems using the website itself. The app seems to work a little better.

I have tried, Firefox, Midori and Konquror on two different OS, Ubuntu and Mint but every where I faced some problem or the other. As i mentioned earlier, after i changed the website interface to 'classic' the problem reduced but did not end. Now mainly have problem with Capcha not loading at times or with the auto search of the title of a new thread. I feel the site is made more pro-mobile than for computer use. If some one has not faced these problems at any time does not means that there is somthing wrong with my system. The first time when I registered on this forum the entire page was simply flickering every moment, it would have been worth making a video of that I have been using dozens of forums but never had any trouble of this kind. I feel the system could have been made simpler.
With all the people who blatantly ignore the rules and requests, I don't think a ten post limit with CAPTCHA is all that unreasonable.
I like Linux a lot, but I don't think it's out of line to suggest the trouble lies in browser or OS support especially since Linux tends to be more persnickety than Windows due to market share and development, no matter where you want to place the blame for that.
If someone is having these problems outside of Linux, details would help narrow it down.
At any rate, it's not the forum's requests that are at fault, but the integration with something or lack of support.

Seems you did not even understand the question. The question is not WHY there is captcha but why it is creating trouble loading. And if it is bcoz of linux then it is strange as captcha is used in many other websites and no where i face any problem. Moreover there are others too who have faced other problems here. And i am not just facing captcha prob there are a host of other prob that makes using the website very difficult. Also how is it that there is problem some times and not there on other ocations ? If it was due to linux it would have been there always ! I would also like to remind you that Android is also built on Linux kernel. And any website that is highly OS specific is not a well planned website. Anyway it was just a feedback to help the site owners improve it "IF" they wish to. If they dont i can always find my way out
Thanx all of you for your help.

Browsers and....authorizations???

Hello XDA!
I come with a question. Being a human trying to make out the most out of my device, i tried countless of different browsers. Dolphin, UC, CM, Firefox, you name it.
There's something bugging me, though... Why does some of these browser ask for "strange" permissions? Such as writing/reading contacts, or caller ID, and the such.
I'm having an hard time finding a decent browser. Some of them are quite there, but not there yet. I'm looking for a browser with video player and adblock, nothing out of the ordinary. I've had Dolphin for a long time, but they screwed up the Jetpack app.
The one i tested and liked is the UC browser, but I am really concerned about all the authorization it asks, and somewhere in the net it has been tested and found positive to data leakage (i know, i made it sound like a disease, but you get the drift )
How about you, fellow XDA peers? Which browser are you using, and why?
