[Q] Aldiko on Tab Pro 8.4 - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

hello, I recently upgraded from a 7.0 plus to a Tab pro 8.4. So far i really like the new tablet but I am having trouble getting aldiko (paid) to work properly. The first issue i have is that when opening a book it refuses to show pictures, the book cover, or any other graphics. I have reset the app, cleared the data, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and the problem persists. After the reinstall I also have the widget dissapearing and it refuses to come back as well. I have tried to get a hold of Aldiko support but i have yet to hear anyhting from them. Anyone have any ideas as to how this might be able to be fixed?
Thanks

I run Aldiko paid without a problem, but I only use Acrobat files (mostly created myself) and they are all stored in memory and not on the sdcard. Could either of these be the source of your problems?

I run mostly epubs and PDF files. All files are stored on internal memory. I am not rooted at this time, but thinking that might be an option.
For the widget issue somehow the app was moved to the SD card after moving that back the widget worked fine.
*Edit* I just recieved an email from Aldiko Support. It seems that some models of Samsung Devices (8.4 Pro included) have a compatibility issue with the RMSDK rendering engine.

Aldiko doesn't work for me either (Tab Pro 8.4),
I switched to "Moon+ Reader Pro", for ePub and PDF.

That's what i did also.
Cheers.

having the same issue. Typically the start of chapter page is blank, as it'll have a little graphic or whatever. everything works fine on my note2, asus transformer, etc etc
just the tab pro is being stupid
changing to a different app isn't that practical, as I pretty much rely on aldiko's ability to sync reading progress and library between devices

I had the same problem. Try moon reader. Fixed most of the issues. I use epub

This is an interesting thread. I wonder if these are the reasons the Nexus failed Verizon testing here state-side.

I think these app problems are due to Ice Cream Sandwich, not the Galaxy Nexus, and the developers of the apps just need to tweak them, mark them as ICS compatible and then send out the update.
The apps which are unavailable from the market, haven't been marked as compatible with ICS... so the market wont show you them.
I don't think that app availability/problems would cause delay of feature in Verizon testing.

[Info] List of apps that aren't compatible

I thought it might be useful to put together a list of apps that aren't compatible (either partly, or at all) with ICS.
If this thread gets enough responses, perhaps it can be stickied?
Post your findings, and I'll try to update the first posts with updates so prospective Nexus buyers can see what may not work.
Adobe Flash - doesn't appear in market. Available from end of 2011
BBC Iplayer - Doesnt Show in Market
BBC News - doesn't appear in market at all. Now works
Blood and Glory crashes
Calendar pad won't open
CalanGoo not working/syncing. Due to new Calendar APIs?
Dolphone Browser - multiple reports of freezing etc.
Evac HD and Radiant HD by Hexage don't work. They install and launch, but you just get a black screen.
Facebook - Doesn't implement menu button, so can't set options/contact sync Update adds menu button back (but no contact sync still)
Flickr - you can't get past the signin process Update available to resolve the login problem now
Go Contacts has issues with themes
Google Earth - Loads but won't respond (multiple reports of this, although some users find it works?) Now working for me too. Maybe it needed a rest.
Google Tasks Organiser - see CalanGoo
London tube status widgets also broken
MX Video Player - Installs but says device isnt supported
RemindMe also doesn't work. It too installs, but you get a weird black screen when you start it
Root Explorer - Now updated in Market
Skype works, video calling does not.
SwiftKey doesn't bring up predictions? Several users now confirming this does work okay
Sygic (Sat nav) can do initial setup, but won't display nav screen (reverts to home). Now working
Tweetdeck - When posting, dropdown options don't appear for location, contacts etc doesn't appear. Posting box just fills screen. TweakDeck in the Market sorts all problems nicely!
Urbanspoon hangs at the loading cuisines screen
Urban Dictionary by Tim Clark FC's in use Now fixed, update in Market
- Note, I've not added every single report to this list; as some are "intermittently crashes" etc. This could be just random bad luck, but if several people post the same kind of issue I'll add it. Sorry I don't update this as frequently as i'd like!
(reserved)
BBC Iplayer
MX Video Player

Yeah i tried co pilot yesterday. After it opened it closed down immeadiatley.
Alk sent me an email with my serial key and i am now able to use it. However it still opens and then hides itself and i have to re open from the icon in the notification tray.
Im kind of gutted coming from a fully compatible Gs2. Feel like a beta tester!
So far ive have issues with
Shazam
Lack of adobe flash
Ebay app - get random network error message which stops me from viewing listings
Most decent movie players.
Citrix reciever
If you have gs2 think hard before making the jump, as nice as the device is it is lacking a whole host of useful features added by touch whiz i.e
video codecs - mkv , divx xvid
all share - decent dlna app
ability to add individual callers to a block list
split view mailboxes
flash - for now

[Q] Book annotation with s pen?

In the Samsung guide to the Note 8 there is mention of an ebook reading software that allows users to annotate text using the s pen, make coloured highlights of text, etc. I don't seem to have this on my Note 8. I'm looking to be able to add handwritten notes with the s pen, not text entry annotation as in Play Books, Kindle, etc.
Any suggestions?
I have the UK Wi-Fi only Note 8.

well that is strange, as tapping on the screen (when a book is loaded) shows a top menu with a pen icon on left clicking that brings you into pen edit /mode.
You can also try downloading readers hub guide (free) from samsung store in the readers hub and it details almost everything.

The answer was that Readers Hub works in this spen-friendly way if you are opening an Epub format book (and maybe others, not tested) but not a PDF. So EzPDF is the annotation solution for PDFs, Readers Hub for Epub.
Thanks all.

ahh Nice, Didn't knew you were trying to do a pdf. adobe's reader also allows freehand annotations to some degree I think but might be lacking in some departments.
e-book reader with SPen Support Note 2/3
I am in a similar dilemma. This is what I am expecting:
A single e-book reader like moon+ or fabrik that can read both epub and mobi files.
Reader that connects to that specific folder on my Dropbox account which has all of my book collection saved in it.
Automatically scans that Dropbox folder for all the e-books and display them neatly in a shelf of 4 to 5 thumbnails per row just as it would display books that are saved on my phone's internal memory.
Gives me an option to cherry pick a book from my bookshelf. Once selected it should then download it to my device for offline reading and sync all changes to that particular e-book file only once my device is back online (similar to Repligo PDF reader).
Since I am addicted to my SPen, I want to have a similar experience when reading an e-book like I do when reading a paper book. So I would like to be in a position wherein I can not only highlight the text but scribble my own hand written notes as I read along. I then want these notes to be permanently saved on the e-book file being read (similar to Repligo PDF reader). This was possible on Samsung's reader hub app but since that has been integrated with Samsung hub, ability to upload or read your own book saved on the device has been taken away. You can only read what you buy from their store unfortunately. Although, cloud sync was not possible with Reader's Hub too.
Is there a product in the market that meets my above expectations?

Thanks. Mantano's UX is not really good. This app further boxes up the note taking screen thus further reducing the screen real estate. Would you know if any other e-book reader. For now I am using Mantano too and moon+ for mobi e-books.

[Q] Aldiko

Hi all, wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I use Aldiko a lot, and have it on my Note II, no problems. THe same epubs don't render correctly in Aldiko on my new 10.1-14. What appears to happen is that where there is an image in the epub, Aldiko just stops rendering the epub until it hits the end of the next image. In other words between two images there's nothing - not the images, and not the text in between either.
I am a bit puzzled as to why this would be happening on one device and not another... it means it's not the epub files themselves at least.
Has anyone else encountered this? Any thoughts?

Samsung ebooks on Nexus 7

Has anyone found a way to read/access ebooks purchased from Samsung on a Nexus 7? I have a couple of books purchased on my Galaxy 10.1 2014 edition that I would like to read on my N7. I can install Samsung Hub but it crashes won't open. I installed Readers hub, which opens briefly before it restarts the N7... I tried editing the build.prop to make it look like a galaxy s4, but no difference...
Does anyone know how to do this?

Are you happy that the embeded DRM isn't the problem? - if it is then I guess that drm removal is not an allowed topic here.
Have a look on the play store at Aldiko https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aldiko.android that software has AFAIK the longest list of supported formats. If you then look at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kitapyum.mobile.android.ebook that is the Turkish (looks like it could be bilingual) Samsung ebook reader. The look and feel of the software looks very similar to Aldiko

Thanks but these books have drm and I don't know how to remove them. I can buy and convert Kindle and Google books which are accessible on pretty much any device, but I can't seem to do anything with my Samsung ebook purchases on my Note 10.1 (2014). I can't even access them on another Samsung tablet from the same family that's still current! (Note 8).
Does anyone have any ideas?
