When looking for my first android phone, I kept reading how documents to go was the best office app for android.
I've never even heard of the Thinkfree Office app that comes with the SGS. So, does anyone have any experience as to which one is better?
Think Free Office is the only productivity suite i've ever used on any android.
I think I wont move away from that suite that easily because I feel its the best suite ever created.
I have tried and tested DOC/PDF/XLS files and the experience was awesome! 10/10!
http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-qo-android-am3-jjzxj.aspx
This looks like a contender for sure!
Thinkfree office has been really good in my limited use. I can't imagine documents to go being much better
Thinkfree is the fastest pdf viewer (faster than the Adobe one, with better reflow), and the xls viewer is also the best I've seen (it can work with recursive iterations within formulas, which quickoffice cannot).
Nice to have it thanks to the SGS...
In purchasing my SGS, ThinkFree has been perhaps the biggest (nice) surprise. In viewing word docs alone it displays all text, fonts, bold, margins tabs etc etc very well. can view & save in docx file types & the degree of editing caperbilities I've found to be very thorough.
Still can't beleive this program comes free with the phone. It really is excellent. Haven't fully tried excell or powerpoint docs yet but certainly the word is second to none.
I tried out some of the other office apps yesterday (documents to go, quickoffice etc), but came away with the impression that thinkfree was still the most functional and well rounded of the lot.
Much kudos to samsung and thinkfree for providing this app to us!!!
EDIT: Actually, I just tried quickoffice 3. I'd say it's pretty much on par with thinkfree, except thinkfree can edit ppt and quickoffice can't afaik.
hey, why is it when i zoom pdf files, the texts are blur
before it's finished the progress, the texts were fine but when the progress was done, it's blur.
ps: it's only happen when i'm viewing a map pdf files, (adobe reader in pc works well but not in thinkfree)
Slightly off topic, but is it possible to have 'talk and type' style input on any of the office apps?
It would be cool to work on documents on the go without typing.
thinkfree office is more than enough for regular use..
Does anybody else have the same problem while reading PDF in Reading view that letters are really small even at the highest zoom level (100%) ?
For reading PDF Files i think Adobe Reader is much better than ThinkFree Office. In Adobe reader i can easely open a Map with 76MB and scroll and zoom very fast. ThinkFree Office takes about 2 minutes just to open the File and even in this case it´s almost impossible to scroll or zoom in the map.
For Office Documents it´s very fast and stable but for reading big PDF Files i recommend Adobe Reader.
Am I the only one who is greatly disappointed by this application?
Apart from the simple fact that the pdf viewer clears the viewed pages out of the memory even when just scrolling down a bit, or the fact that the pdf viewer is awfully slow and just doesn't load all pages (on my end it just loads one or two visible pages and lags when scrolling to a non-loaded one), it takes an awful long time to start the different components.
Also, copy and paste function was made as difficult as possible, I still find myself unable to select and copy the text on my own rather than picking one of the "selection presets", which take a few too many clicks to reach for my taste....
And maybe it's just me, but the powerpoint editor completely kills my slide layout. On windows mobile I didn't have so extremely wrong renderings.
Another quite stupid limitation is the lack of different file formats to save inside the word app (only docx, seriously?!).
This app really makes me wish my old Touch Pro2 wasn't broken...
About comparisons... I still wait for documents to go 3.0 to release.
Edit: granted, things like bad pdf reader go certainly for all pdf readers out there atm.

Problems with Thinkfree Office
Hi,
Thinkfree office looks great in the begining. but there are some basic issues I dont know where I am going wrong:
1. Throws exception when trying to open a password protected docx
2. Sometimes fails to open attachment files which opens perfectly on my laptop
Anybody knows something about it?
Does ThinkFree support pinch zoom and text reflow on the Desire? I have tested it on a Galaxy and it works AOK but I have heard that some apps work differently on some phones, and I just want to make sure that it works the same way on the Desire before I buy one.
Thanks all!
Hi!
I had a "classic" android ROM, and it had ThinkFree office application.
I installed a new Rom (InDroid 5.1), and it has no TF O.
Can anybody give me a link, where I can find it? I read two books with the help of TF O, and reading is much more difficult with Adobe reader, or Polaris office.
Thanks all!

Can you not simply re-download the app from Market?
I think ezPdfReader is faster.
I'm wondering what RSS reader/google reader type apps you guys are using?
I have gReader Pro, Reader HD, FeedR, and NewsRob Pro. I have already also used the default google reader app and Just Reader and a few others. I still haven't found a google reader app that looks and works great. The main issues I have with the listed reader apps are that most don't display images properly, as in 70% of the screen is for the feed but pictures from flickr rss feeds or tumblr only show up as a small box fitting 10% of the screen; tons of unused space. Would be nice for an RSS reader app that smartly adjusted pictures for optimal screen usage.
Wish they'd make Reeder for android, that rss app is nearly perfect.
gReader Pro. Best interface/everything.
Personally I love Reader HD
to each their own.
Reader HD or the official Reader App for me. Maybe flip board when it gets optimized for tablets.

What don't you like about JustReader? My go to tablet reader. Pictures show up pretty good, though not perfect. As for why an app doesn't do what you want it to do, trust me, it's a stupidly hard thing to do. You'd think it would be built in to android to make that an option, but by the time you are allowed to measure pixel size, all the automatic calls have passed. It takes some rewriting of how views measure themselves. I went through that with my Read It Later app I was working on before I canned it when Pocket came out.
For the apps that overcame that issue (JustReader being one of them) you then have the problem of online pictures being small. A 320x480 picture would be about 2.7" diagonally on a 7" 1280*800 screen. If you look at a feed like The Verge that uses large pictures, you will seem them fill edge to edge (on JustReader). However, other places use much smaller pictures. Then you have the problem that a lot of places send smaller pictures over RSS. For example, LifeHacker uses ~600x400 pictures on their website, but half that size on their RSS page. I will say I wish Just Reader handled images a little better in that it still centered the picture above the text (not hard to do, but I guess that was the devs design choice), but it scales pictures up to, but not past the devices native resolution, but it cannot magically make pictures higher res. None of these can. The alternative is super pixelated larger pictures.
*I don't mean to sound like a JustReader fanboy, it's simply the app I use and have experience with. I'm sure many of the other apps handle this the same way. I also feel that this is the most "Reeder" like app I've used. In fact, I prefer it due to the more customizable swipe gestures.

I mean JustReader (no space, my bad). It claims podcast support in the free version, but I've never done that. Always kept podcasts and rss seperate.
gReaderPro. Best RSS reader available for Android from the functionality point of view, if you subscribe to dozens of feeds like I do it is really the way to go. If your RSS needs are more casual stuff like Flipboard and Currents or Pulse may suffice (prettier to look at).

I just retried JustReader and you were right! So far on the Nexus 7 it seems to work the best for what I'm looking for. I spend way too much money on RSS apps lol, but thankfully I already owned JustReader from a few months ago. Thanks man.

Ditto. Feedly is great on JB, but its frustrating that it doesn't work on ICS. If Google Currents would support the organization of feeds into groups like Google Reader does I'd be all over it.

Hi Folks,
One of my primary reasons for buying the Note2 (arrived yesterday, so not had much time to experiment) was the Stylus^D^D^D^D^D^D S-Pen. I'm hoping that the phone can replace my Moleskine notebook, in which I make short notes, jot down my action items, etc in meetings where I'm not chair / taking full minutes (for those, I expect I'll need to stick to an A4 pad).
Given what the device is, and who the contributors here are, I thought I'd post, to see if anyone else had the same requirements, and come up with a good working solution? If not, I'll post updates as I go along, and whether or not I find a solution which works well for me.
Ideally, then, my workflow would look something like:
Attend a meeting
Write relevant notes on the Note2 using the S-Pen
Have those notes sync <somewhere> (ideally automatically, but I can live with pressing a button or two)
Have my notes subsequently available on a desktop computer (Windows PC in the office, Mac when working from home)
Ideally have the notes auto-handwriting-recognised at a reasonable level of quality into machine manipulatable text
Other initial thoughts/comments:
I'm happy to use S-Note for this if it works well, but just as happy to use a 3rd party app, and to pay for said app if the value proposition is there.
I've had an evernote account for years, always though the concept was great, but never really made use of it. This will probably be my first port-of-call.
I'm a heavy Dropbox user, so Dropbox integration would work for me (especially since gaining the additional 48gig through purchase of the Note2!).
It would be great if the single app divided out action items and notes "auto-magically" somehow, and populated a cloud-syncing task management tool with the action items. But on this assumption this is asking too much, I think I'd be adverse to switching between two tools, one for notes, one for actions (though perhaps Multi-View would be an interesting solution here?).
Cheers!
Gav.
I'm very interested to see what your thoughts are after using it a while. I'm an engineering student, and was looking to buy a Note2 and take advantage of the SPen functionality. I like the idea of 'Formula Match' although I haven't experimented with it since I don't know anyone with a Note/2/10.1 etc.
I had the Note, and just got the Note 2 last weekend. The problem with S Note is that it only seems to sync to the PC as an image. So, you can't edit them on the PC.
The best solution I've found is using OneNote on the phone and PC. And, syncing them via skydrive.
Evernote seems pretty good, but I figured since I already had OneNote installed on the pc I'd try and make that work first, and never got around to Evrenote. It's a bit clunky though. I use the MS app most of the time, bit it doesnt do everything, so I bought MobileNoterSE and that does some things the MS apps doesn't. But neither is a complete solution.

Best options will be to use something like Google Drive, to use google docs support, or Polaris Office (free with this phone) or QuickOffice to create word documents and sync with somewhere like Dropbox.
This way you will have easily editable files, you lose the ability to do things like the formula thing and easily insert images etc, but it works perfectly for handwriting.
Experience thus far
So, my story thus far.
Firstly, I had a play using S-Note and Evernote together:
To get your handwritten notes into evernote, you export via JPEG to Evernote (note, not a problem in the short term, but I've found the Note2 keeps a copy of the exported docs on the internal storage, so if you use it a lot, it could conceivably munch a lot of your space).
Evernote doesn't (so far as I can find) do OCR on the text to make it machine readable, but it does do an amazing job at OCRing for the purpose of making your handwritten notes searchable. Because it can be a little more "relaxed" in doing this (i.e. if it's not sure if you've written "pound" or "sound", it'll index the word as both for searching purposes) it does a truly wonderful job. It almost makes me wish I'd bought a page-whiz type scanner and fired in my hand written notes over the past few years.
My initial perception of the possible value of this search facility might be enough to make me forego the machine manipulatable part of my requirement.
However...
The handwriting recognition option, replacing the keyboard, built into the phone is very good. It does, I would guesstimate, about an 80% accurate job in recognising my (awful) handwriting in tests yesterday/today (how it fares when used "in anger" vs at my desk tests, I've yet to determine). The advantage here, ofcourse, is that it can deliver machine manipulatable text directly into Evernote, or any other tool you so wish (e.g. Polaris Office as mentioned above).
And, of-course, machine manipulatable text is searchable via any one of a hundred methods or varying complexity and sophistication, as suits your needs.
Ideally...
Of-course, ideally, both would be great. Being able to write, without worrying whether or not the machine "gets it right" is a godsend. I (most of the time) can recognise my handwriting, so if offered both, I could correct where necessary.
My experiments continue!
I'm a teacher and have used the Note II for a couple of weeks. Here are my thoughts:
-I previously used a 7" tablet, a swype-style keyboard and Evernote for making notes
-I bought the Note II after playing with it in the phone shop and seeing how accurate the handwriting recognition was. I have used a Palm PDA in the past and the Samsung system is lightyears ahead of the gesture-style recognition of the Palm.
-I input text now either using handwriting recognition and the S-Pen or voice recognition (when I'm at home and on my own!). It's very possible that using the swype-style keyboard is quicker, but I find in terms of vision, seeing my own handwritten, rather large words on the screen easier to see than the smaller keys of the keyboard, so it works out quicker and is more restful for me.
-I use Evernote for all of my notes. It's amazing. An example is of me helping another teacher assess some speaking and listening tasks in the classroom - I made my comments on my Note & Evernote, then emailed them to her. I now have a copy on Evernote for future reference. I travelled on the train over the weekend and planned all of my lessons on the Note. I'll be able to share these with support assistants easily, can access them from the desktops at school, and they are all automatically tagged with the date.
-I use several Evernote widgets. I use tags and notebooks to keep all the quick-reference notes a touch away, like this week's lesson plans and my timetable. I can find other notes very quickly using the search option.
-I've toyed with writing notes in cursive using the stylus - but in the end think - why would I want to do that, since the handwriting recognition is so good on the Note and I can then edit the text later very easily? My handwriting is not THAT beautiful! If you were really attached to cursive handwriting, S-Note can save notes with both drawing on and written text, although this would be converted to an image file were it then uploaded to Evernote.
-When I have time and energy, I mean to look into Tasker to make note-making more automated, for example opening a new note when I draw out the S-Pen. I'm sure Tasker can save and open notes according to location or calender appointments (you mentioned meetings)
My only wish was that attachments like spreadsheets could be edited and saved while still being attached to the Evernote note. Instead, I used Dropbox for files such as PPT and spreadsheets.
Hope this helps!

Ooh, now, here's something I've not yet considered. If my notes could be auto-labelled based on the meeting I'm (supposed to be) in. That would be interesting.
Evernote can actually do this already. There is a setting which labels the title of your note with the current appointment from your calendar.

I have started using Papyrus...

And Dropbox on my Note 2.
Handwrite notes whilst out at meetings, conferences, etc. Then share to Dropbox in pdf format and thus available on my Desktop when I get back to the office.
Papyrus is still under develeopment and doesn't do OCR afaik. I use my notes for my own recollection, so no need to produce keyboard text or send to colleagues.
Quite simple, but works for me.

Must admit, this is the way I am leaning at present. The coolness of Evernotes indexed handwriting though continues to appeal
I'm trying to improve performance with a Seagate Wireless Plus and Microsoft Surface RT. The Wireless Plus can stream video and audio through an app on iDevices and Android (where it works very well). There is no app for Windows RT but files can be displayed using Internet Explorer. Selecting a file starts sending the file to the Surface RT but Surface waits until the file is fully downloaded before it starts playing. I'm using the default, Xbox Video app.
Is there a better solution?
Is there some way to force the video to start playing while the file is downloading?
Is there an app hidden somewhere that will work with the Wireless Plus?
Thank you
Questions 2 and 3 are both flat no's.
Question 1 though, if you can access the files in a file browser (ie, not internet explorer) which if the device isnt a pile of junk you should be able to, then browse to them in the file browser and open them from there. Windows will stream them fine in this way.
Sadly looking at the user guide for the wireless plus, seagate have shot themselves in the foot before rubbing salt in their wounds. They haven't allowed the device to function as a standard network storage device like they should have (which would have massively broadened the number of devices it would work with and increased the flexibility in its usage) and won't allow you to view it in that way.
Alternately, you could just use the USB cable......
It should actually be possible to write an app to do this, but I'm not aware of one that works. If there's a Windows desktop app that does the trick, it might be possible to port it, or something else that speaks the same protocol, to (jailbroken) RT devices.

Are you volunteering?
The Wireless Plus has a samba server so I can see and open files with File Explorer. I was hoping for something a bit easier for someone who is not so technically proficient (as in the wife).

big shortcut on the desktop, that usually works.
Although in my stepdads case I had to add a new shortcut to chrome, then go into properties and give it the internet explorer icon and put "INTERNET" as the shortcut text and leave it on the desktop in the very top left corner where he can find it. From there he was fine though. Just the chrome icon confused him somehow and since then he now seems to get the idea of different web browsers existing separately but the icon has stayed where it is. This is still the same person who also saves all of his files to the desktop and cant find them if they go anywhere else, such as his documents.....
Should cover the wife and if the samba server works properly you should simply be able to add a shortcut to it directly to whichever directory you need. I should think it should be fine like that.
Everyone has their favorite apps and the fold 4 makes a few of them very much engaging and more useful obviously due to the amazing screen.
Are there any apps/ games/ activities that you think in particular have become more usable and indispensable on this device?
For eg. I really like using tradingview for analyzing stock charts. Really can use more indicators on the go.
Also, I love reading FLIPBOARD and amazon kindle app.
What are your app discoveries?
Spotify and Outlook do a good job of using the ZF4 like a mini tablet on the inner screen
Telegram, Gmail, MS Outlook/Teams and Office Apps, Lightroom, Canva, Chrome, GoogleDrive Apps, YouTube, Zoom Meetings...
Just this morning I had training in the office. At the end there was an assessment and to get the questions you needed to scan the QR code. This then took you to the training website and to the questions. Everyone was either squinting to read the questions, swiping from right to left to read or did their phones in landscape. No problem for the Fold, simply opened the inner screen and viola! Reading the questions was a breeze
What's the offset difference between Microsoft Outlook and Samsung Email? I've tried outlook but the ads annoy me, and I don't need the Microsoft suite of apps enough to subscribe to 365. Is there any stand out feature that Ive missed that could make me switch?

I've been using the outlook app without the MS365 suite and it doesn't have any ads.
Probably u can try adding dns.adguard.com to your private dns and it will block all ads on all aps.
Samsung email is a great app and i've been switching on and off to outlook but since last 2 years it has been my primary email app. It has improved a lot.
Also, if u have a hotmail or live.com email, u can directly create task from emails to MS todo ( another MS app I can't do without)

Agreed. Any app that has anything to do with reading makes a great use of F4.
Video media consumption is kind of ok because of the aspect ratio and usually it gives the black bar sandwiching the video content. But I guess a 16:9 phone would be a bit odd. But also beautiful.
Does anyone know how to play videos in YouTube a little bit zoomed in, but not fully (so It cuts off less of the video but uses more of the screen? )
Total Launcher is the best launcher and the best app for me
4 Screens: horizontal folded, vertical folded, horizontal unfolded, vertical unfolded and i can customize them all.
Samsung Notes: I've bought a s-pen and it suprised me how good that app is. Got it synced with my girlfriend and we write, import, manage everything in it.
I agree total launchers cool, and seems to work well with fold 4, ita Just alot of effort to set up each screen in my opinion. Any one know any other launchers that work well with dual screen set up?
Ironically, Apple Music.
We can now add Google Keep to this list (it's been a staple of mine due to its cross-platform support for a long time anyway). They've just added a two-pane mode which works on tablets AND it works unfolded in landscape mode on the ZF4.
Anyone else got any more app recommendations for our Fold 4??
The obvious one is DraStic, the DS emulator and Citra, the 3DS emulator. Like, it's just asking for it.
I'd also say that Infinite Painter really takes advantage of the extra screen space when unfolded.
Another great find, Win-X launcher now supports folded screen v21.4, now my fold 4 can look like a windows pc!
book reader apps, have read quite a bit of ebooks already
Does anyone have any other new recommendations for apps??
