Asus My Library app broken.... - Asus Transformer TF700

Having a problem with the stock library app. It will open for a second and then force close. It DOES stay running in the app-switcher list but when i choose it, it closes out to the home screen. I have a lot of PDF files i read and its handier than a file manager for that. Anyone having the same problem or know of a good replacement app??? Thanks in advance.......RL

Stock, not rooted.....

For PDFs you can't beat perfect viewer with the PDF add on. Second is repligo.

I'm also using that, it's great.
To diagnose a "force close", you need to post a logcat excerpt.

Quick Office Preinstalled?!

I downloaded a map of my school (going back tomorrow) in PDF form and tried to open it and quick office came up. I can't edit anything, probably due to it being a PDF, but I'm going to test a doc file and see what happens. BRB
Update: Seems to work with docs and other office files but you can't edit
I don't ever recall downloading this. I'm rooted with Cyanogen's addon that's all.
/system/app/PassionQuickOffice.apk
Its always been there I presume.

I tried, but the world was not ready for my message.
why doesn't it have an icon? I haven't had the need to use it, I'm guessing it is a read only type of app?
Mine opened a Powerpoint (.ppt) file with Quickoffice too and my device is completely stock at the moment. I don't see quickoffice in the list of apps, though.
I just installed Quickoffice from the Market then I got it on the list of apps. Since it's the free version, it has very limited functionalities.

.apk?
Hey guys, any chance you can upload the latest version of the .apk here? I'm experiencing the "Starting Download" issue so I'm stuck to download and installing .apk's for the mean time.
P.S. If anyone knows how to fix the "Starting Download" issue without me having to reset my phone (Galaxy S) - PLEASE HELP. T_T
what worked for me was to delete the directory:
data/data/com.android.vending
acts just like a new market installation.
Installed this and for beeing an early app it's working fine.
But it would be nice if it could start preloading the next item in the list so I don't have to when a few seconds for the next item to load when hitting the left and right arrow.
Keep the updates comming, I've been wanting an app like this for a long time.
Like it a lot. Works pretty quickly on my Galaxy S. Much better than looking at the site through the browser. Just a couple suggestions, but a "view comments" option might be nice, as well as a setting to select which sites to pull from as this looks like it gets more than just failblog, but some of the other cheezeburger sites as well.
Can somebody put that program's ".apk" file here , please ? I can't using "Android Market" because of geographic problems. Thank you. =)
Tried it. very slow on a good 3G connection, some of the things I did see are not very new.
Uninstalled

I tried to look for the directory but couldn't find it. Is there something else I should do for this to appear? I'm using Astro to browse, I don't think the folder is hidden though.
can't find it in the market not via barcode nor via search
btw: do you have permission to use the failblog content?
cant find it in the market
barcode not working, can't find in market either... ???

[App] Minimal notepad with Dropbox sync - need testers

Hi!
I've just published my first app on the market - it's called Epistle.
It's a very simple text editor that can sync your notes with Dropbox; I will add folder support and note search soon.
Since all I've got is an old HTC G2 I'd appreciate if someone could help me test it (especially the synchronization mechanism).
You can find the app here: kooklab.com
Thanks.
Looks nice. Love the interface. However I am getting an FC whenever i hit "Sync". Account linked, I turned off all the automatic syncs, have reinstalled. I don't see any activity in my dropbox. Have attached logcat.
The only thing I would change is the note title field. I appreciate how other notepads use a bit of the first note line as the title.
You need to make a donate version, btw. I have been jonesing for a PlainText-alike and would happily pay for one!
Hi!

There is a stupid bug that prevents the app to perform the very first synchronization.
I'll push an update soon.

Hi! I like your app, but there is one thing I don't like. You should be able to give an option name to the folder it creates in dropbox. I'd rather have a folder named "Notes" than "Epistle", no offense to your namechoice.
This app is awesome!
I've now a Todo-list on my desktop and phone, synced!
Good work. I really like the idea.
Some comments:
1. I agree regarding the aforementioned opinion on the titling of notes. If no personal title is entered, the note should display the first line of the note in the overview list.
2. When you create a new note, the title is highlited and can be entered. However, as soon as the orientation of the phone changes (e.g. to landscape) the cursor is in the beginning of the text field and the title of the note cannot be changed. The same goes for the use of a hardware keyboard. When I flip my Desire Z open to use the hardware keyboard the same thing happens.
3. Deleting notes: The app should refresh by taking the latest changes into account. If I remove the note on the phone it should disappear from Dropbox. If I delete a file from dropbox, it should delete the note in the app.
4. Discarding notes. It should be possible to get back to the list view without saving a note. It's a good idea to have the note saved automatically when you press back. But you might provide a "discard note" option when you press "menu" while editing a note.
Regards,
Becksman

In landscape you should still be able to hide the virtual keyboard (with the back button) and double tap on the title to edit it.

If you delete a file from the phone everything works as expected; the other way around at the moment cannot be implemented - with the current API there is no way to tell if a file has been deleted from dropbox.

The new release fixed the sync right up. Thanks!
I am getting ready to import ~500 notes from simplenote. We'll see how it goes.

You're right. I tried that earlier and somehow it didn't work. I'd still prefer the cursor not to jump out of the title if I switch the orientation or open the hardware keyboard.

For me it's not working either way round. I "removed" 2 notes in the App and in my Dropbox they still appear. When I start the App they however don't show up anymore. I tried hitting "Sync", which resulted in a FC. However I just tried it again - created a new note, synced it and removed it again. This time it somehow worked.

I'll soon push another update on the market that should resolve most of the sync problems.
Would sorting by modification time or search be possible? The UI is perfection, but with many, many notes i get confused while navigating
Please ignore gregory's comment on the market. Unix line endings ftw.
Hey, i downloaded this yesterday! I'll provide any help needed!
By the way, love the latin root for the name.
It looks really pretty. The only reason I'm not going to give it a try is that Simplenote sync is currently a requirement for me.
But your attention to aesthetics pleases me
Thanks, thanks a lot for this app. Working great on my HERO, and finally I can sync my notes between my phone and my Linux desktop!
I don't mind the folder name or even the reverse sync issue, but I've got a few ideas on improving this. For example, you should stick to a notes format (like TiddyWiki) and give us ability to remark (bold) text, create check-able lists of items inside a note.... with transparent formatting (for example, *text* should bold, []item1 []item2 should create a check-able list, !subtitle for that exactly that and so on...). I think it should not be very difficult to implement and it could lead to, perhaps, a web app complement.
This app has tons of potential uses and improves. Thanks again.
Ever since I got my Samsung Captivate I've been using its built in memo pad for months. The fact that I couldn't export my notes was kind of a bummer. Now with your simple app, taking notes has never been simpler.
I'll try to report bugs when I see them. Thanks.
Been looking for something like this for ages, thank you.
Yesterday it worked fine, but today I'm getting FCs every time I open it on my Hero.
I'm about to test this in the Nook Color.. Thought the title "Drop-Notes" might be best appropriate for its key function :- )
All the minimal features are AWESOME thus far!
I've been using AK Notepad for the past few months.
I DON'T LIKE that it requires their webapp at catch.com to sync.
I REALLY LIKE that yours is very simple.
The only feature that I liked in AK Notepad, that I would like for you to implement would be #hashtags. This would make categorizing notes much simpler on both ends of the sync.
Along with the hashtags, a simple filtering system would be great!
And perhaps a customizable widget, that displays ONLY a set hashtag?!
Great job!
I'll be the first to donate/buy when you choose that route.
I can't link my dropbox account. the link button does nothing for me. It lets me enter my email and password, but thats it.
I'm using a Cliq XT running android 1.5

[Q] What is Splashtop?

I have been sending error logs to a developer of a program I use on my tablet, it worked fine on my other and other tablets but this one makes it grind to a hault and then force close. They said it is "Splashtop remote" causing it, so I wanted to know what it is and if there is a way to stop/remove it?

This is ASUS' remote desktop application. I believe it is a system app, so you would need to root and then use something like Tatanium Backup, or maybe Root Explorer to rename the .apk file to .bak and it would disable it.

The problem is it and chandroid. After sending about 30 crash log reports, they told me the problem is that for some reason when chandroid is being used Splashtop goes nuts and eats up system resources causing chandroid to stall and then force close.
I have rooted my TF without a problem, but before I disable it I wanted to know what it is and what it does. Don't want to turn off something important.

Any idea where it is stored, cause I am looking around for it but no luck yet. I am under the ./data folder right now.
Odd, post root and reloading and now it runs just fine. Wouldn't think just rooting it should have had any effect.

Everyone asks that and it's easy, because of one touch downloads all the images, also the watch which is good for when I wander off well grabbing stuff. I tried to get downloadthemall! to work on firefox mobile but no dice, so this is the best choice to do what I want it to do.

Stock GB Browser bug?

Hi All,
I've done some cursory searches, and maybe I'm not using the right keywords, but I was wondering if others are experiencing this and if there's a setting somewhere I'm not seeing to maybe shut off this weird bug.
Here's the most recent example that illustrates this issue. I was browsing around on the xda-forums and there was an attached APK I wanted to download. So, on the computer I clicked on the QR Code and just had my stock (rooted, GB v2.3.6) phone detect the direct download to the apk from the link using barcode scanner. It correctly identifies the link and I click on open in browser. The stock browser loads automatically and begins to download the apk. Great. I hit the home button, pull down the notification, click on the downloaded file, it asks me to install the apk, I agree, it installs, I open it. Wonderful.
I then open my email and there's a link to a site. I click on it and then the browser proceeds to load the last loaded page, in this case a downloadable file. So it proceeds to download the file AGAIN and appending -N.apk (where N is the next available number) to the filename. Unless I restart the phone, it will continue to download the file again and again, increasing the value of N every time I attempt to load the browser again. Whether by clicking on a link, or just opening the browser directly from the app's icon. Any thoughts on this?! Am I just doing something wrong? I guess this is a feature you want to load the last page you had open the last time the browser was used, which is fine for web-pages, but I don't want it to keep downloading the same file over and over again every time I load the browser!
Any thoughts or suggestions, or even a link to where this is discussed and hopefully resolved would be of GREATEST appreciation!
Thanks!

That will prompt your gmail attachment to open in that new window.
I use an app called Download Them All and never get that problem. It will download attachments, files from the net, etc. Good little app.

I'm not sure that resolves the issue. Since the initial attempt to open a browser window was in fact to load up a downloadable file (the original APK). Every time I open the browser app, it attempts to reload the last loaded page (or in this case, the file) and so it redownloads the file. In order for me to click on Menu>New Window, I would still have to load the browser app and it's at that stage it redownloads the file.
When the download has started.. manage windows. Close the window.

Yeah...I tried that...you'd think it would work, right? For some reason, the browser doesn't respect that....
Only thing I can recommend at this point is to use a different browser... or user lol jk!

Did you try the Download Them All app?
It eliminates the browser from opening at all.
Also, check the settings for the browser and see if there is an option to disable cookies being saved. Clear your cache, etc. That should stop the issue for this particular item at least.

Thanks, I installed it but haven't really tested it yet. Not sure how this is supposed to fix the issue though since the app doesn't load BEFORE the file is downloaded, it's on the list of apps to select once you click on an already downloaded file and it asks you where you want to save it - which is a nice feature, but doesn't prevent the file from downloading in the first place.....
Thoughts?
