[Q] Office suite on Surface Pro - General Questions and Answers

Hi, so here's a quick question.
So I got a Surface pro, and it comes with a trial version of Microsoft office, which I'm currently using. The problem is that it's gonna expire in a few days.
Has anyone found a way to crack Office suite so that I can get a full running copy of it?
I've tried kmspico but it still says trial version and expires on whatever date.
Any help is welcome! Thanks!!

Use KMSnano. It worked for me.

Non-Serviceable State

I was wondering if unbranding and then using the VPN in Hungary was how the ChevronWP7.Updater worked. Because I'm wondering if I should find an Att Rom for my surround or not. Anyway thanks for any help! :]

No, the VPN method downloads the update OFFICIALLY from Microsoft servers the way Microsoft intended it.
ChevronWP7.Updater, as far as I know, pulls the update from the server and installs it one by one the way of WM6.5 ROM Flashing...
Again, not sure, but I can assure you the VPN method will not leave you hanging when it comes to future updates.
Ok thanks, just thought oh crap... Anyway thanks again

Photoshop Touch

Any know how to update the Photoshop Touch app that came preinstalled?
The play store shows there was an update on Sept 5th but I have no option to update because it is not showing as installed and $9.99 to buy.
I checked the Samsung app store thinking maybe i had to update there, like i have to do specifically for all the faotd from Amazon, but the PST app isnt even listed in Samsung market.
Confused.....

The app is customised for the GN 10.1 so most likely Samsung would need to push it out via Google Play like with their other apps. Best to pose the question with Samsung.
not so much that it's customized for the gn10.1 but that it's licensed to only be used by your gn10.1.
if it were available through any market i'm pretty sure they'd be violating some kind of license they have with adobe as you'll then be able to install it on any device linked to the account.
It gets updated when updates come for the Note itself. And update to JB will surely update it as well.

Just make sure you put the pen against or close to the screen before you rest your palm against it and you should be fine.

However i still am not satisfied with the failure on small curves

Hi,
Photoshop is amazing for photos, coloring etc., but in my experience it's not good for drawing.
Try Scketchbook pro, layerpaint (palm rejection can be configured and it's very good), tv paint (beta) etc.
You can draw and color at one of those then add effects in photoshop.

Can't get full webpages on XDA website on my PC..help!

Ok, so I use the xda app on my Nook Tablet, but when going to the website via google browser on my windows xp computer, the webpages are not downloading completely....I get the top Navigation Bar and whatever pop up ad is running but no info below! What's up with this? I need to get in via my PC to download some ROMs and apps.
Is this because I'm running xp instead of windows 7?
I can get the full pages on my browser on the Nook Tablet (rooted) but can't afford enough dropbox storage to get all the ROMs and other files I need uploaded and downloaded to my PC. Anyway, this just seems odd.
This is probably something technically stupid, but, please help if you can!
Thanks..

It may seem simple, but have you tried using a different browser on your PC?
I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!
Can't get full xda website using XP/Explorer 8 huh?
Oh yes, been there done that! Oddly, on my mom's computer running windows 7 I had no problems.....but it seems hard to believe having xp would limit me that way. I used to be able to get in and see just fine until the last month or so. Checked Norton for any blocks/limitations but none I could see!
Totally perplexed. I am running out of hard drive space but can't see why that would make this happen, unless RAM somehow dips in when needed? But no problems on any other sites!
I am using Explore 8 as primary browser as 9 won't load on xp.....perhaps this is it?
Thanks for your reply. Any other ideas? Any devs or admins out there who can answer?

I assume you have the 64gb? as the others are on back order.
Surface Delivered
Received mine today also.
I am having a hard time linking my outlook Microsoft account and my old Xbox live account otherwise having fun.
I wonder if either of you could do a test for me on your Surface please?
Can you open up a powerpoint presentation, and then try and "Print to Onenote" I know this is possible in Office 2010 and Office 2013, I am very keen to see if its still there in the RT version?
Or is there any other way of sending a powerpoint show to Onenote?
Cheers

Just got my 64gb delivered a few minutes ago. There were very little instructions with it. I got my Microsoft account linked up but not sure how to get all my contacts and calender synced up with my Office 2010 on my desktop. I guess the days of Acticesync are gone and it all has to be done through the cloud. Is there any way to sync it up with a desktop standalone Office program?
Otherwise very cool.

Bluestacks isn't in the store yet - I just checked (LOL). We need to reasch out to them and find out their timeline.
First Gotcha
The first limitation I've encountered that I'm not real fond of is the lack of POP3 support in the mail client. If you go to Mail -> Settings -> Add -> Other Accounts, it let's you enter the info for a pop3 account then populates a screen with the info it's retrieved from the server, then shuts down with no message. I don't like that.

Yea.. I know they are planning on supporting it, but they didn't say when. I'm good with playing with it all for now and I just got it connected with Xbox music(got a free year for being one of the first 100 in the store!) so that should keep me occupied for a few days lol

The only problem I have with my surface is that it doesnt treat the microsd card as part of the library. The sd card is only useful for transferring media or watching or listening to one file at a time. Other than that it is great. I have to admit thatbi like my lenovo yoga a little more.

I had heard that the MicrosSD would not house apps, but only media but did not realize it would not be part of the library. I am sure that will be addressed.
The only issue I have had is the Wifi disconnecting and I am right next to my router.
Its a windows 8/ rt thing because my wibdows 8 computer does the same thing.

What about the google applications? Are there any google map or gmail? How is the readability on the browser compared to an Ipad with retina display? And finally...have somebody tested any games?

No gmail yet. Readability is great. Web pages fill up the screen perfectly. I played hydro thunder hurricane and it ran at 30fps. Looks like a more graphically demanding version of riptide. I have fond memories of hydro thunder from my dreamcast days.

You can get the sd media into the library. It involves going into disk management (via desktop mode) and adding a mapping to a local ntfs folder (you need to create this folder on the c: drive of your surface. Once you do this, you can then add the local directory (I created c:\media and mapped separate folders for each library, i.e. Music/pictures/videos) or subdirectory to your library.
There is a thread on wpcentral discussing this.

You can also download the app "metro commander". It allows you to view all your files and folders in metro without switching to desktop mode

Polaris Office 5 for TF101

I use my transformer everyday, as a replacement for a laptop. However, all the word processing applications have not met my standards. I tried Polaris Office on my friends Galaxy Note 10.1, and I loved it. When I downloaded it and installed it on my TF101, it forced closed when I tried to open their sample document. Is there any way to get Polaris Office 5 to work on the TF101? I can provide logs of the problem, but am not knowledgable enough to solve this mysellf.

EDIT - It installs and runs but doesn't seem to let you open or create docs
Thanks for trying. Is there anyway to remove the restriction, because I have heard that it is restricted to Samsung devices only.

Kingsoft office
I was a fan of Polaris until Iused Kingsoft office. I found it is the most compatible suite with MS office :good:
Office suite is the best for me. Unfortunately it's not cheap but luckily I got it from amazon free app of the day a while agk
Accidentally tapatalked from my iPod touch
Best Free Office Program is Kingsoft Office!
