It says right in the linked article, that its a Market app. Or you could have just went to the Market and looked.

Yeah I was stoked about it at first, but this app royally blows. It's seriously NO different than opening your browser on the phone and going to docs.google.com. You still can't edit formulas in spreadsheets (a must since I do my budget on there), and the editing interface is just as bad as the web page, in that you click on a line, have to edit only 1 line at a time and have to save it after editing. Why not just let us edit the cells individually? Thanks for finally getting around to mediocrity Google.

I have to admit that I haven't really explored the app very well. But at least it is a start. Maybe make a comment on the app page and email them as to how they can make it better?

My problem with it is that it's literally no different than just opening Google Docs in your browser. I'm just not sure why it was even made if they were going to do it like this, that's all.

how do you even delete documents you dont want on here???

The app is supposed to be able to perform OCR on text photographed with the phone. Anyone get this to work very well? Every time I've tried it (on different forms of source text) it just one line of the text, or a few scattered letters. Seems like it could be a handy function, if it worked.

Ah yes, that is a VERY useful thing! Glad to see that there are indeed more features. I just tried it and it's actually very good; I just scanned a page from a book, and although it has a few odd formatting problems, the text was almost perfect. Nice job Google.

Instagram for Android on PLAY STORE NOW!

Like the title says!
Link to the app is here:

A thanks would be cool if you could spare the click.

Already downloaded and uninstalled due to it be the most awful photo app I have ever used

For some reason it crashes for me when I try to edit an already-existing photo. I'm on LP3.

Very bad!! it is useless. Doesn't have at leat half the functions that it has on iOS.
I don't get it why they released an app SO BAD.

Can anyone post the apk here please?? For some weir reason it says my device is not compatible with it :S

Don't understand the hype about it. Pixlr-o-matic does a much better job at editing and also allows you to share it via Twitter etc.

I think the app is missing integration with google+ and it errors when I first upload a picture. Retry, doesn't send to twitter and facebook. FAIL.

I have an error with cyanogenmod9. "Please insert a SD-card" when try to make a photo :S

I've yet to come across a photo app that is anywhere near as good as QuickPic

LOVING all the whining and crying iPhone fanboys about having to share! :lol:

For those struggling to find the significance of the app - there are no other good photo apps with the sharing capabilities of Instagram. You can edit photos within the program, though it is not the strongest photo editor. The fun comes when you follow your friends directly, and share within the instagram community. You can also share with Twitter/Facebook, though you don't have to.

Thanks for that because I was struggling to see what the big deal was. I can share from my apps anyway so I guess I don't need to worry about instagram. The camera app felt a little under done in features compared to many other programs out there. I can see why people like it on the iPhone though

I was just going to post about that Haha, I genuinely think that's its greatest feature, making those iPhone fanboys feel less special.

Haha, the app is so so only. Tonnes of other Android camera apps beats the **** outta it. And they have the guile to say it's gonna blow the iPhone version outta the water.
At the end of the day, the only "value" it has is that it is a sharing platform. Kinda weak imho. Picture editing only happens after taking the original photo, no live preview, missing a few features, unoptimized sharing API.
For camera apps, better to stick to something like Camera360. Sharing wise, there's like a bajillion sharing platforms, G+, FB, Twitter, blablablbla.
And wth? 13mb? Srzly. Lol.

It's finally out! Although there some features are lacking, for example shutter sound settings, not to mention some minor glitches, but in overall I'm just happy that it finally hit android

Google+ instant upload - Every frame of Zoe!

Has anyone else noticed that if you enable Google+s Instant Upload feature with the HTC One, it will upload every frame of a Zoe (as well as the movie file) to your designated album. This makes it so messy! I wonder if anyone will come up with a work around for this?
-Mike

AW: Google+ instant upload - Every frame of Zoe!
Dropbox does that as well .
It's necessary to save every frame as it should be a 1:1 backup of your taken pictures.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Yeah this is really annoying. Just synced 1000 photo's to my PC. I have now learned to save an event as a mp4 then delete the Zoe photos. Maybe a software update can save us?

I agree that this is a shift from what we are used to with our previous phones. However, each zoe contains a couple of great frames that I actually want to keep as single-frame photos. So how is the phone supposed to know which of the frames are worth keeping? If you just keep the Zoe, then the individual frames are somewhat lost.
I am used to sorting through hundreds of photos, adding the 'good' ones to albums, and deleting the rest from instant upload. Going from hundreds to thousands is definitely going to take an adjustment. I am not sure how HTC will approach this issue, or if they will even approach it. Since google makes it quite easy to select a whole album and hit 'delete', I don't think it will be that difficult to deal with from a user perspective. select the photos you want to keep, select the actual 'zoe' file if you want to keep it, add them to an album of your choice. Then select the rest of the event and delete it all.
I was wondering why my battery just wasn't lasting, but it must have been all the constant uploading all day long. I will set it to upload only when charging, that should help.

I'm gonna say easy: new menu item next to the current 'save frame' that says keep all frames. Save all these otherwise 'temp' images in a subdirectory with .nomedia and delete once the zoe is deleted to keep from selling, and place it outside the camera directory so theyre not auto-uploaded and further suck my borderline battery any further down.
I can't believe the average consumer is expecting and wanting 30 more "bonus" photos for every movie... I know I frakkin don't.
I have severely curtailed my use of zoe until this is fixed.

I just experienced the same. Phone eating through the battery as it quietly uploaded about 400 zoe frames.
And there lies the problem. I've got in the habit of editing my albums right down and deleting does/frames where needed, but I don't always have time to do this directly after taking the photos.
Google+ doesn't know to only start uploading once I've been through and edited.
So either I accept that I'll have to go through and re-edit my google+ albums, or I turn off auto-upload and lose the lovely backup functionality of the service.

Because people are looking for a solution, such as something HTC will roll out or dev's will sort.
For most (me included) turning off instant upload is not the answer, as the whole point of instant upload is to keep a real-time backup of your images.
It is just the bad design of saving ZOE images that is causing the problems.

QED as pointed out in post 2 of this thread.
If you want to save certain images on the go, do so by selecting the image you want to save and uploading that.
Leave sorting out the rest of the images until it's more convenient to you. Seems obvious.

Your "answer" is laughable...
I'm not here to troll, and neither was the other guy, but listen to what you are asking for....
I want all of my photos backed up instantly, except for the photos I don't like, because I haven't reviewed them yet.
So, you DONT want all your photos instantly backed up
Soluntion
Turn off auto-upload, and only upload once you've gone through your photos.
It's a solution, you want your phone to figure out what the best picture you took in a series is before it's saved. That's a ridiculous request if you stop and think about it. No one on the planet would hire a professional photographer again if this software existed.

Workflow ... he's never heard of it and wants someone to write an app for that

Not true. There could definitely be options. If you click on a zoe there is a bar in the timeline that shows where the picture taken when you pressed the shutter is. There could be an option to only make that 1 photo available for upload.
Or there could be an option to only make the zoe.mp4 available for upload.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not posting here DEMANDING a solution. I just noted it here as a possible issue with using zoes.

Wow, you must end up 'rolling your eyes' at a lot of stuff on XDA then. These are called smartphones for a reason.
Yet people still look at them, use them, and think they could be improved somehow. That's why we install custom roms and customisation apps.
Carrying around a diary, and a notebook and an address book used to be a 'workflow'
Then someone came up with something better.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with noting the inefficiencies in your workflow to try and improve/speed thing along.
You've made your point that you don't think this is an issue. Now please leave this thread alone.

I do. Have been doing so for the last six and a half years, when it was all fields round here.
90% of the posts on xda are from people who wilfully refuse to RTFM or STFW, and don't possess any form of critical analysis.
Too many people expect everything to be done for them by others, instantly.
They can't be bothered to read, search, read, read, read and then search some more, like the rest of xda residents.
Most can't even be bothered to check their spelling, their sentence construction, how to phrase a question or be polite enough even to come back to a thread to say thanks.
Then there are the people who demand that other people, get out of threads

Suggestions for similar apps

Under the gallery for the HTC One, you have touch up tools that do simple things that like remove blemishes and fix face contours. Are there any similar apps out there? I wan't to have some of the photo-editing capabilities on my other devices. Most apps have blemish fixers or can apply changes and save filters, but I'm looking for something more focused on facial touch ups.

Snapseed is pretty great but I'm not a big time photo editor. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.niksoftware.snapseed

f you have some photoshop skills, just download the Adobe Photoshop App. got it for $5 when it first came out, not sure if its on sale, but it is very well worth it.

Thanks for the suggestion. Was looking for something simple as what HTC had built in, but it's not much more work to do it with the Touch Photoshop app.

Editing in the Gallery app

Hi. Has anyone tried to edit a photo using the default Gallery app? Coming from the S7 and S8, I find the editing functions in the app so lacking. There is not even away to change the brightness or sharpness or anything like that. (See attachments)
The funny thing is, when I read online tutorials, people explains about functions I do not see in my app. So I thought I'd make a post to see if someone has similar experiences
