Where do you get Polaris Office and is it available for purchase or is it still free? I know it was on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.

Try Kingsoffice its fantastic.

Given that Google bought quick office, I would at least consider it since it's likely to evolve into the de facto standard for the android platform.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Using Quickoffice HD its the best looking and easiest to use in my experience.

best for me has been office suite. The advantages are many including opening password protected files

Quick Office HD... if you buy it on the Play store you have to side load it...otherwise you can buy it on Amazon and it installs without issue.

I prefer documents to go. Its the only one of the major office apps out there that worked flawlessly with some of my gigantic excel spread sheets. All the others crashed or failed to load properly these spreadsheets.

Kingsoft Office works for me. Free too.

why not google docs/drive?

Why can I not find Polaris anywhere?! I've tried their site, Google play, and even ripping the apk from my Transformer Prime...still no dice. Any ideas?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I use Smart Office 2, it was a sale on play for something like £1-£2, tried kingsoffice on the Sony tablet S I used to have, but it was too laggy for me, SO2 worked great on that then and now.
It has the 'swish' factor plus use can share in all the usual places, as well as the usual doc, docx etc.

i was using the buit in streaming function from htc (not sure what its called) ... i was also able to view it with my previous Sony Experia with the built in pop up windows viewer.

Try app called Ustream
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

I use Ustream and it works great. There's a little widget that will take you straight to live streaming with 1 press of the button which is pretty cool.

Good movie and TV app... live and free

Latest movie downloads etc. .. Thanks for any help.

You can get some from the Play Store, Amazon, Netflix and Hulu. Also if you have ROKU, I believe there is an app for that too. Yes those are all paid, but it is a place to start. Also, most networks (at least in the US) have either an app or way to view shows on/from them.
I do hope that you are not asking about torrent sites and how to use them. If you are, then Google is your friend and please do not post such on XDA.

I'm doing Netflix hulu and the occasional red box instead of cable right now, saving a bloody fortune streaming media to my smart tv from my note

Xbmc then add navix plug in and you will get all tv series, movies etc.

I'm looking for apps. .. Nothing I need to buy hardware for. .. I live in Canada so Hulo etc don't work well here. Thanks.

So you want completely free, "latest" releases and current tv series all through an app.... Let me know if you find anything because I've stuck my head in that hole and there's no turtle to be found.

I haven't heard of any that are free... Why wouldn't Netflix work well in Canada, the Internet is the Internet no matter where you are.

Galaxy s4 IR Blaster Capability

Would it be possible to use the ir blaster to control a fan that has a built in ir receiver? P.s. the fan came with a remote that has an ir port
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I'm curious to this as well. I'm wondering if it'll work with an AC. I have a feeling it won't though.

I have confirmed an app named smart remote for s4 working on controlling my mothers window air conditioner
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium

I would love to see a truly universal remote app, NO TV guide, no other bloated CRAP, just a app that lets you tell it what kind of IR device you want to control and it says "Ok" and then starts blasting IR commands, and THAT'S IT.
I had a universal touch screen learning remote 12 years ago...why can't my damn $600 smart phone do that now?

Did you have to set it up or did you point it at the ac and click on?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Smart remote works great and the are loads of devices that can be controlled... If yours isn't available, just contact the developer. The only thing the app can't do is "learn", but that is because of the hardware anyway.

So it could control my fan, correct?

If you can figure out what the IR codes are, then you can control anything

I emailed the developer so hopefully he can include it

Pretty awesome idea even though I have 0 use for it here

There is one.....it's called Smart Remote for Galaxy S4

Does anyone know how to add devices to the app?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

The developer(s) behind Smart Remote work FAST! My TV wasn't supported (Sigmac brand) and literally two days after I e-mailed the developer(s) about it, they e-mailed me back saying they had added support. It also works with my Vizio soundbar. Haven't tried my fan yet, though.

Play PC games on your Note 2

Hey, just got Kainy on the play store because it was on sale today, and been playing my PC games via that app and it works quite good, just giving you a heads up in case you haven't heard of it (I never did before, thank you appsales).
Before you ask, it streams your pc games to your phone or tablet and allows you to set up onscreen controls. However I'm impressed by the performance, I wasn't expecting the games to be playable (just played Remember me for an hour).
