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?

Simple question, how are you sharing videos from your GS3? I can't email them as they are to big, can't mms them. So now what?
We made a small 11 second video, albeit 1080p - and it is about 25mb. Gmail limit is 10mb.
I'm guessing upload to a sharing service and share the link? Which I've never done. Can anyone help?

I upload them all to YouTube but make them private and viewable only if given the link (so weirdos aren't watching videos of my niece or cousins and such) this allows them to be uploaded at full HD and a general site that most can access without issue.

I started using Google drive to share videos easily.

I use dropsend but its limited. Use it to send files up to 2gb. But for smaller files or any other files, I use sugar sync. It's like drop box but with more features. Upload and just send a link to the file to anyone

I assume you are referring to S Beam. Having never used it yet, how long do you have to hold them together ? I mean, a playlist, couple of pictures, I'm sure that's a pretty quick transfer. But say a good size movie, around 100mb or so? Do they have to remain in close proximity or do they link somehow after that initial contact? Having never used it as I said, I'm just curious. Would love to hear from people who have.
I think the NFC just turns on Bluetooth for both devices and connects then sends. No need to hold them together.

Using S beam and a WiFi connection should take you no more than 2 minutes to transfer 200mb.
1) connect your devices to you WiFi.
2) turn on S beam on both.
3) locate the file to transfer.
4) bump the phones and wait for the beep.
5) tap the file and place the phones side by side as they don't need to be touching back.
6) bring the notification bar down and see how the file gets transfer.
I always use this method to transfer HD videos and lots of photos to my girls Note2. I think using WiFi makes the transfer faster than w/o.
This guy is transferring 200+ me video.

Have the phone automatically upload your videos Dropbox, then just send the link to whomever once the video is up.
One click if it is a known contact otherwise you have to enter their email.

I know this is a really old thread but incase it helps anyone, Android finally has a new app just to for this purpose. And its free
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-playbak-share-video-easy-t2987858
I use youtube set to private if it is for me or use mega.co.nz if I am giving the link out.
I will try playback, I've been using drop box.
Thanks for contributing, nice to see more current solutions to all problems!

Yes, this happened to me after syncing with my Samsung account, then it would try to sync anytime i was at main screen...DONT SYNC!!!!
Thanks for the warning folks.
this is sad and ironic; given S Pen is main attraction of this tablet.. it needs to work well..
I am waiting for a call back from samsung to try and recover my data. What kind of laws cover their destroying my data? They were not very cooperative and failed to understand theirs servers deleted my data.

Thanka for the warning, please let us know when/if you recover your notes - even though it might be one isolated case, it could be safe to disable the sync until the issue is solved.

Laws.... You're trying to take on a company with multimillion dollar legal teams for lost s note files. ?.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk 2
I've had this issue as well, note 2 and 8 are supposed to sync the notes but it doesn't work well. Instead I get blank notes in one or the other and if I delete the blank then the good copy will disappear from the other device.
My solution was to ditch s note. I now use lecture notes along with drop sync to handle the actual cloud syncing. Works a treat, no more lost notes. Sort it out Samsung, small independent developers are doing a better job than you.

It was more sarcasm than anything. I did ask the supervisor about their cloud storage policies, and he took about 10 minutes trying to find some, but couldn't. I love their mobile products, but I will never trust their backup cloud again!

I preferred using S Note over lecture notes. It just flows better for my needs. I decided to start using dropsync for my snote folder and I'm now confident Samsung won't ever be able to destroy my data again.

Ah, my problem is that I get errors with my S Note on my Note II. Some of the files give me an error when I open them. They all open Ok on the Note 8. Dang, just means I have reason not to rely on it so much now.

Anyone know a way to sync using Google Drive? I can upload and open them in S-Notes, but I can't figure out how to make my changes take short of manually replacing the Drive version with an edited one.
I was trying to start up a content transfer with someone else's phone. I used an HTC One and they had Samsung Galaxy S3s. It would show the touch to transfer screen and it would just open the playstore to an item which didn't exist. It doesn't matter what they tried to transfer.

From what I understand its just a frontend for NFC which the phone does have. All I've done is selected the content I wanted to move and tap phones..

It wouldn't send me the little note to send off / receive without it on. Issue is, every time I receive something, it just shows up as a Google Play Link. When I try to send something, it just stops after I touch to beam.
I'm not sure what it is then, mines working fine(a little finnicky at times but fine).

My buddy has an S3 and I have the One, and in order for it to register I had to hold my phone about as low as his camera, but it worked like a charm. Then again, I sent him a few contacts and some pics for jokes.
Wife and I have GS3 and ONE, we send pics back and forth all the time.

You can NOT send playstore apks via NFC, it will always show a playstore link, this is to prevent sharing of paid apps.

No, not playstore apps or links. For example, friends on GS3 with gallery app opened to send a link. It just constantly wants to open a nonexistent item in the playstore. Sorry if I am unclear. I am thankful for all the help thus far.
Might have something to do with Samsung galaxy s phones. I can have my gallery open to a picture and nfc transfer it to a gnex and vice versa

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if I could get some suggestions on good wifi file transfer apps - like my last Samsung I can't for the life of me get this phone to be recognized by Windows. I am rooting and running the awesome Kang AOKP ROM.
WiFi File Explorer is having trouble moving files around - I keep getting network errors on my failed downloads in Chrome on my PC.
Any other more stable app suggestions?
I still can't connect mine either haha
I use Air droid from the market..free and works awesome

I find ES explorer to do pretty much anything I need. Wifi, samba, bluetooth, wifi direct. Also free in the market, and allows root access (su permitting)

Tips for a pleasant XDA:
Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.
Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".
Be nice. Don't be rude, just move on to another post without leaving a comment. We are not 7 years old.
And PLEASE, do not ask for the "best" anything. We all have our preferences.
Thanks for the suggestions I will check them both out... I already have ES but didn't configure any servers on it. I am having luck with WiFiDroid- another freebee

ES Filexplorer is the best.
GUI gets a little wierd at times but it has so many features it can do what your asking.
I actually just discovered pushbullet today it allows for file, picture, text, etc to be pushed from Chrome, or any Android device to another. It even lets you push them to friends phones who have the app as well
