I installed a couple of Office Suite from Amazon Free App of the Day on my phone. I am wondering which one is the best for the Nexus 7. I can download other free alternative if it is even better. Thanks!
List of Office Suite that I have from Amazon:
OfficeSuite Professional 6
Quickoffice Pro
Documents to Go 3.0
Or should I go to a free one?
I like quick office pro, and I think I remember them being bought up by Google docs or something like that not too long ago. I can't remember I'll have to do some searching.

Kingsoft office... And it is free

I have Office Suite Pro that I got for free.... so that's my only choice.
I used Polaris on my old transformer and I liked it. There is a really good comparison between the various office apps some where online. I think someone from the Asus transformer forums did it.
Some allow you to only read and not edit. I can't see really having to edit or create documents on the go, but I guess some people do. As long as I can open them, I'm good. Since you have access to them all, won't you simply try each one and tell us what you like better?

I have always used quickoffice pro on my 10" tablet, and I installed it on my nexus 7 and it works great. I also got those three office apps from amazon, and quickoffice pro seems to be the least buggy

CloudOn is one of the best office apps I've seen, although you need to be on wifi and have a box, dropbox or Google drive account (or all 3) as it only reads from cloud storage. They match the office ui almost exactly and have support for Excel, Word, and Power Point docs. Also it only works on tablets.

QuickOffice Pro HD is great, though you'll need to pull the APK off another device, it doesn't think it works on the N7.
Which office suite would be best for a student? I'm looking at Smart Office 2. Anyone tried it? I believe its on sale now for $1.98

How did you get cloud on? When I go to it it says its not compatible...

Here is the link to the comparison:

Quick office HD.
Think it shows not compatible in the play store, but it works fine.
You can link it to all your cloud storage accounts.
It has really advanced features that mean you can create documents as if they have been made on the PC.
I think quick office were acquired by Google not so long ago but I might be wrong on that.

I have no idea how this is free. It's as full featured as the $15 apps. There are no ads or other bloatware.
Another vote for KingSoft, It's brilliant. I paid for it when they used to charge.

+1 for Kingsoft it really is great. Like iElvis said, I have no idea how its free but its fully featured works great!

Thanks for the king soft suggestion. It is much better than quick office pro I got for free on Amazon.

I like king soft but its very laggy. Anyone else ?
I posted a thread exactly like this and the general consensus was Quick Office Pro HD. I got off Amazon since it doesn't show up in the Play store. It works awesome, integrates with Dropbox too.

I have king soft installed and it works perfectly, haven't experienced any issues.

Would any one be so kind as to post a copy of the the " Bank of America for Tablets" apk? It won't allow me to download it from the market.
Something just feels scary asking for a Banking app on a public forum. Its extremely easy to tamper with it and give you a malicious version... I'd watch out with requests like this. :angel:

I understand the risks and appreciative your concern. I am not planning to log in. Just trying to test the UI with Nexus 7. I do check to see who it is coming from (reputation). Thank you though.
The app launches, but when I login it just hangs at a black screen
I've been looking for that app as well :-/

Here you go.

Can someone post current version. Also to address safety concerns if you have safe pass enabled for every log in no one can sign in without a code being sent by text to your phone... So kosher...
Are there 2 separate versions? I have the BOA app on my N7 it works great. Is there another version besides the one I got on play store?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Yeah there's the bofa app for phone and one for tablet. Tablet let's you use myportfolio and has some enhanced features. The app available in the market for the n7 is the phone app.

I found this link
https://www.bankofamerica.com/online-banking/android-tablet-banking-app.go
Where you're supposed to be able to email it to yourself but ive done it twice and it wont work. Why does the Play Store link say our devices aren't compatible when we're using tablets? Lol
Edit: T_T got the email, it literally just links direct to the play store again. What a waste of potential.
I'm also looking for the current APK. The older one linked here installs fine but unfortunately BoA has updated their app so as soon as you try and open it the app sends you to the market for an update and since the N7 isn't compatible, won't let you download.
Last updated Dec. 12 BofA apk

This kinda sucks, just picked up the new model nexus 7. This is my first tablet, and I was kinda excited to see the difference between tablet apps and phone apps. Both American Express and Bank of America won't let me download their tablet versions. American Express won't even allow the regular mobile version either!
I can get tablet talk to connect and function perfectly on my n7 connected to my S3 via bluetooth, but it keeps disconnecting frequently via wifi.
I've changed ports to 8080 on both but still the problem persists. Would prefer to have wifi as the would be less drain on both my n7 and S3 that way.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

I used to use TabletTalk but since getting my Nexus 7 it never worked 100%. DeskSMS and TabletSMS from ClockworkMOD work perfect and wayyyyyy better.
http://www.clockworkmod.com/
DeskSMS
TabletSMS
Works awesome in chrome with the extension as well.
mysms has also worked well for me and is free. It will also sync as long as both are connected to the internet (ie you don't have to be on the same network).
I also connected n7 and s3 with tablet talk but when a SMS arrives it isn't synched with tablet and I don't hear notification sound in my s3 so I've lost a lot of SMS. Do you use s3 with stock or custom ROM??

I also use TabletSMS, this one is not depending on the devices to be connected to each other or even on the same network, i never got tablet talk to work the way i wanted, especially when i lost the connection i had to physically connect my phone to the tablet again using the connect button, nothing else worked, but this one works perfectly, always.
Works great for me. One of my top used apps on the Nexus7 . Use WiFi mode mostly but works fine using Bluetooth. Never have and issue synching it with my gnex on wither mode.

i use tablet talk and was experiencing the same problem. the issue is that most roms, even stock if im not mistaken, disables wifi after the screen has been off so long... solution: go into settings and change wifi scan to bigger intervals.. worked for me. hope this helps

Do you use WI-FI or bluetooth connection? Which is the best to save battery life?

Have you tried SyncSms? It syncs your texts utilizing Dropbox or Google. Been using it a long time and it works beautifully. You'll need a network or wifi connection for your tablet. Learned about it on XDA as an XDA fellow created it. It costs a few bucks but worth it. Do a search and you should find it. Highly recommend it.

TabletTalk is different. Connect to your phone via Bluetooth and you can put your phone in your pocket and go anywhere and tTalk makes you like a phone. Connection to internet is not necessary nor is data.
I use Tablettalk all the time over Wi-Fi and Bluetooth all the time. The trick for me on Wi-fi was to put the IP address in the tablet to the phone. then it connects and stays connected everytime.. Just my two sense work..
Tablettalk is the cream of the crop.. works an dsome of the newer featrues coming will be great.. (p.s. Not i dont work for them. I just love this app)
Hello i have a sprint galaxy s III and i was wondering if anyone has had success tethering a sprint phone to the nexus 7? My phone is not rooted, i would like to keep it that way if at all possible. I use FoxFi and PDA Net and it does connect to my Nexus 7, but for internet only. Google play will not update apps, facebook will not work, Netflix won't work, ect. I tried open garden, FoxFi (by itself), PDA Net (by itself) and nothing else connects. What is everyone else using??? Thanks in advanced!
Well I`m using foxfi and it works very well for me. I`m living in uk.

I tried out foxfi today for the first time. It seems pretty good, but I would like to here others suggestions as well.

That doesn't really answer the OP's post though. FoxFi doesn't look like a real internet connection to all apps though. Is there another app that does any better?

If I understand this right your wanting to connect your N7 to the internet via your G3, if so cannot you just use the mobile access point on the phone, i have the galaxy s and my sister has the S2, both have this options in the settings and once set up and turned on acts just like a wireless router, select it and enter the password on your N7 and your away.. works well on mine

The same on my S3 Nexus Combo, great having unlimited data and unlimited tethering data

I've never tried it, but how about PDAnet?
Foxfi Wifi Hotspot no longer works on my nonrooted Droid Bionic. I can only tether via blueetooth, which doesn't allow all of my apps to work correctly. Does anyone know of a Foxfi alternative?
My Foxfi works fine on droid x to my nexus 7. I don't know what you're talking about not a real connection....
Check it out though, foxfi is definitely awesome.

I love tablet talk, but I have some thing else I would like. The one thing I would love is for an app where I can actually call through a bluetooth connection to my phone. Tablet talk allows you to initiate the call,but you can't hear/talk through the tablet. I have a portable charger for my phone so I just keep it plugged in all day with wifi tethering on, and it connected to my tablet with bluetooth. The N7 can hold its power all day and its big screen and fast processor makes it a great device. But the only problem is, is when I get a text, I use my N7, when I need to look something up, I use my N7, but when I need to take/make a call, I have to pull out my phone. I would love to be able to do it all with my N7.
Anyone up for the challenge? I think a lot of people would get this app.
Tablet talk allows you to have a blue tooth headset connected so you can make calls from the tablet and have it come through the headset.

Tablet Talk does not output audio to a headset connected via Bluetooth to the N7, but will if the headset is connected to the phone.
Limitation of Android outputting audio on the tablet according to the creator of Tablet Talk...

What is with the way you talk? This is some odd form of english that makes very little sense.
...Groove IP (free)
...what I think that fellow is trying to say (in some abstract, Ebonics, web-geeky sorta-way) is that Groove IP is the way to go. There is a free version (with ads) in Google Play; this is what I use.
However, with Groove IP, you'll need a Google Voice number (i.e., Google.com/voice).
Just get yourself a number and then log into Groove IP with your Gmail address and you're good to go!
You almost don't need a cellular phone, anymore; just wi-fi!
P.S., People in the comments in Google play moan that they can't text in Groove IP; although you can't make calls in Google Voice, you can text through their app.
Well to you guys with a IQ that registers 1million GROOVE IP +GOOGLE VOICE +GOOGLE TALK =HOME MADE PHABLET LoL ha ha ha like I said it works for me Bro GOD BLESS YOU AND GOOD LUCK!!!

I guess I'll just do it this way, I was worried that Android Limitations (I thought we didnt have those damn things anymore, ) would stop this from working, but I do have a Google Voice number and my N7 is always connected to the internet, so I will do this.
