Hello Nexusers
I hope it's the right place to post it, it's related to ICS 4.0 and the newest Gmail app.
Some time ago I decided to check an .xlsx file through Gmail app. It sent the file straight to pre loaded I guess, ThinkFree Office. What happened next amazed me a lot, ThinkFree asked me about the password to the file. The thing is there is no password because I can easily open it on my PC.
Can anybody check if Calc .xlsx files can be opened on your phone?
Cheers

I think this is dependent on you having something like Docs2go or some other program that can open an xlsx file.

You are correct. It's entirely up to what apps you have that handle them. The included ThinkFree might not, I'm still waiting for mine so can't test it.
Depends what app you have available to open it. You should be able to open it with Google Docs if you have it installed.

I've got Google Docs installed but can't integrate it with Gmail. Only option is Open or Save. There is no pop up with an app to choose. I don't know how to integrate it. Anybody?

No push?
Is it just me, or does this app not support push/IMAP Idle? Even with Gmail set up using IMAP, the emails don't come until refreshed or it checks for new mail, and there is no option for "as items arrive."
What's the deal with that? Very disappointing, unless I'm missing something.

I copied and pasted to system/apps but won't install. Am I doing something wrong?
edit: fixed with reboot
Do you guys happen to know if this version still has the same issues as the version that's been floating around since the galaxy tab came out?
I've flashed it before, worked great, or so I thought, until without warning I stopped receiving e-mail pushes. Apparently its an issue specific to exchange (which I'm using) with specific e-mails that will lock it up and prevent any new e-mails from being pushed. If you delete said problematic e-mails, it will start syncing again, but I can't take that chance with work.
If any of you guys happen to use exchange with this new galaxy tab e-mail app and have reliable success with it I'd love to hear about it. Otherwise it's plain old regular email app for me
I flashed viperrom frozen cpl of weeks ago and realized gtalk app was missing... searched the market and internet.. nothing specific...

I'm assuming this message was for me ?
Anyway, I was going to send the Google Talk ".apk" stripped from a current rom. It should update through the Market whenever there are updates to the Google Talk application. It is the actual .apk and can be installed from the sd card through any file manager. (My Files, Estrong, etc.)
I just couldn't figure out how to attach it so I was going to PM/email it.
Oh I'm sorry I was just joking around like y'all were making a covert package drop with the file I am curious about the market notifying when updates were available...you have any insight?

HAHA! No problem!
I'm not sure if this is what you are asking, but you can open the market, then click menu, then settings and make sure that the drop down list choice is set to "notify me" and it should notify you of any updates to programs that you have downloaded from the market. (or apps that it "thinks" came from the market) This should include any apps that are free or paid.
Hope this helps!
Hey I stumbled across this piece of gold and had to share.
Box.com has a new promotion going on. You log into Box from ANY android device (tablet or phone) and your account (preexisting or new) is upgraded to 50gig.
For my buddies that have iPhone i just let them log in from my phone and bam!
"Congratulations, Your account has be upgraded to 50Gig"
The offer ends March 23 btw.
Please let me know if this post should be elsewhere.
Wish it had a free syncing option for the PC....

Agreed. That is definitely a weak point and is only part of a business/enterprise account.
If you download Box's SimpleShare (win and mac) you can just drag and drop files to your "Box". One cool thing is that when you drag a file into it the URL is copied to your clipboard so you can just paste it say on xda to share. Has video capture with auto upload too.
Also, I'm not sure how well it works but I've read on other posts that you can stream your music with ES File manager from your "Box".
do you have to log in from the app or browser?
Didn't get my 50 gigs. Oh well this would help with ROM hosting.
Yes...

...If you have a preexisting Box account and have already used a promotion of some sort then you will not get it. Just create a new account with box.net via the browser then log back in to the app or create a new account from within the app.
This should work for you. I don't know if there are any weird country restrictions...?

Or if you already have Google Docs installed it just asks you to update and voilà, Google Drive.
It says google drive is not ready, and it will send me an email when it is.
Thanks op

No, I actually hadn't re-installed Google Docs but downloaded Google Drive directly from the market.
Also says that it is not ready...
Okay I see what you're talking about, my bad, I hadn't tried running it yet had just downloaded it from the market with no problems.
It may be that it is only open to a limited amount of people right now. It is working fine for me, just downloaded it today.
ive got it. i was asked to upgrade mine, which i never had installed atleast intentionally.
I installed today and it is working fine for me as well.
My phone must be having a schizo kind of day, it would seem my google drive is now accessible. lol
itll work for anyone, just open the browser and click the docs link, then it will say download the app, then after you download it will say your device not ready and then click notify me. now go back to browser and click docs again and google drive will open and be working fine.

Will google let us link our files to others?
The last time I used google docs was probably 3 years ago, files are still there I just don't access them anymore.
Google music- I mean, play music, is great in theory and terrible in practice. It lags and pauses repeatedly on the phone and apparently cannot be played in firefox while on xp, with certain isp's while missing certain obscure security patches that no one can point to.
I just can't see using Drive for anything meaningful. My wife has two companies she does work for and they either use their own database or dropbox.
Did you delete the Sprint proxies on your phone? Once I set mine to 0.0.0.0 streaming was much, much better with Google Music.

just released today, get it here! link below...
What's New
The most notable and immediately apparent new feature is the long overdue ability to remove apps you've previously downloaded from the All Apps list. If you like to try a lot of apps, that list is likely very cluttered. With the new Google Play, you can trim it to your heart's content.
Update #1: You can multi-select by long-pressing any app in the list and then tapping more apps, then delete them all in one go (added 2 new screenshots demonstrating it).
Update #2: The new Play Store now keeps track of your location in lists, including My Apps and All Apps, so when you click into an app and back, it drops you into the same spot. I had variable luck with this, and it didn't seem to work in All Apps at first, but I just reproduced it on both the EVO LTE and the Nexus 7. Brilliant.
Update #3: The notification icon that shows up when you have app updates has changed, and notifications are now expandable. I've added more screenshots showing the differences.

It took me a minute to go through my whole list of downloaded apps (I tried out just about everything lol) but finally...now down to a manageable list. Still not exiting back to last place (got to go through the list from the top) but it is ok. Now if we could sort the way we want (download date, alphabetical, paid, free, etc.), I think I'll be set.

hey guys great find!
however I am running MIUI and when i go to install the apk it says that there is already an existing package by the same name with a confliciting signature already installed.. i tried to go to into the system and del / rename the market apk but could not find it in the /system/apps.
does anyone know how i can install this on my phone or am i sol for now?
thanks!
Mine allowed me to directly update it. But Titanium Backup is going to be the easiest way to remove the old version.

I adb pushed the apk to /system/app:
adb push nameofgplay.apk /system/app/nameofgplay.apk
but now my search won't work. I'll press the search button but nothing. Also, the suggested results doesn't pop up, either.
thanks
i downloaded it now...
finally. I just talked to someone working with Google about 2 of these issues myself personally 2 weeks ago.

It may be installed in /data/app on your phone. Or it is visually named something else. When I went searching for vending.apk all I saw was phonesky.apk. I identified it by the PlayStore icon next to it. I'm not sure, but I think devs can name it anything they want with no ill effects on functionality.
