[Q] streak 7 wireless living room AP - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just watched a mashable video about the streak 7 and a program to make your living room wireless. Is it possible when the streak 7 comes out or the rom is captured that the streak 5 owners can get this as well?

seems like a really cool app.

nice! i would also like to know if this would be available for us mini 5 owners.

Impressive enough. However, you can already do this. Search for a free app called Unified Remote.

Thanks i downloaded it to check it out. I like the GUI on the Dell one though. The rom hasnt been leaked yet I believe but it would be interesting if this could be stripped from it.

Maybe Dell will just play nice and give up the apk?

[Q] Document Editing App

I really need a document editing app for my gtab but they are all so expensive. Has anyone used a solid app with TNT 4.4.0 that they could recommend before I spend 15 bucks on one? Thanks Guys.

To be fair, they're expensive for a reason...
I've purchased Documents ToGo and am very happy. It renders complex documents better than QuickOffice as well, and to me accurate rendering was the most important aspect.
I've had good comments about ThinkFree in the past, but I haven't tried it personally.
+1 on Docs to Go.
It is not cheap for a reason. It does a lot of stuff and does it well.
quick office pro is super effective!!!. XD
I find it the most user friendly for use on a g tab.
QuickOffice Pro
I have been using QuickOffice Pro for about four months now and have zero complaints about it. I would highly recommend it.
As for the version Gojimi got off of the Notion Ink image... since it was bundled with that device I would assume the makers of that tablet and the makers of QuickOffice had a licensing deal and so to use that version on any other tablet smells a bit too much like piracy to me.
If you want developers and companies to keep bringing us great apps and games then we should make every effort to support them with our money.
Just sayin'...
[edit] One thing to note, QuickOffice Pro didn't show up for me in the Market so I had to purchase it on my Droid X and sideload it from there. But, once it is loaded on the gTab you can check for updates within the app and it will initiate a download if one is there.
I have been using QuikOffice and like it.
I see there is a QuickOffice Pro HD on the market - specifically for tablets.
I have tried to download it but get a Parse Error when attempting to install it. Same thing when I attempt to side load it.
Anyone else experience this?
Is Pro HD a Honeycomb only version exclusively for the Xoom?

OnLive Viewer Update Available Now!

I just checked my Flyer for an update and OnLive Viewer just popped up. After a quick download, I created an account and poked around a bit. I was unable to play any free trials but I would assume functionality is just around the corner. This tablet is getting better and better everyday. A couple of screen captures:
yup i just did the update this morning it looks sick i cant wait for live game play

Is this a free apk?
If not, where did you get it?
Thanks!
Someone get a hold of that APK and remove any device requirements
I want this on my Xoom & OG!
APK !!!!. I'll try and port it to the nook color
please extract .apk HTC Flyer OnLive Viewer and put in this page for other android htc users ,
with titanium app or other you can save your apps installed .
extract and put it please
This might seem against yhe spirit of xda but..... Can we not port the apk. I would like to see some more official development on this unrootable device that i paied to much money for. This would effectively kill onlive for the flyer. Atleast wait until games are playable as this is only a viewer and only about as cool as just in tv

You must be joking. Since when is the "MY DEVICE HAS IT, EVERYONE ELSE **** OFF" mentality ever been a good thing? Android isn't supposed to have these idiotic exclusive applications, that's why the OS was so carefully designed to make applications compatible everywhere.
I'm really looking forward to someone ripping an apk... please?
+1. I'd love to have the apk. I could probably bypass the device check if it has one.

You, sir, are amazing! Works great on HTC Evo 4G. Still need to test it on my Transformer.
I installed it on my Nook Color running Cyanogen and it works perfect.
Thanks, that's awesome, it works on the Droid X, though the graphics are a little muddy. I'm a big fan on OnLive though I can't wait to see future Android updates.
Unfortunately not working on Sprint Hero running GB 2.3.4.
Installs, but force closes every time you attempt to open it.
Hi guys,
I've tested it on the Transformer and it is a no go. After looking at the logcat, it appears to be using a compiled .so, so it should only run on similar platforms to the Flyer. I'm somewhat shocked it works on the Droid X, bt I suppose the architectures are similar enough to work.
Disappointing. OnLive has said they want to aim for end of 2011 for a full tablet launch, including gaming. I can't see why it is taking them so long .
works just fine on my android HD2 but not on my dell streak 7
Thank you for the .apk you just made my day
Works on dhd as well as flyer

[Q] Smallest Android-based "PMP" w/ active XDA deveopment?

So I'm looking to pick up an "mp3" player. I put that in quotes because I want to be using my music service on it... not just play actual mp3 files. Obviously my phone works great for this but I'm looking for something small that I don't really care about taking out on the trail/river/etc.
Anyway, wondering what the smallest, android based player might be that has some active xda development. I love custom roms on my phone so would enjoy hacking this device as well.
I'm looking for something with wifi... but NOT any cell capabilities - though obviously if it'll function fine without cell service then I don't care if it has them or not.
Right now, I was looking into the Archos 43. It's still kind of big though (4.3" display)... so I was hoping there might be something smaller out there with some active development.
Thanks!!
Not android, but a zune ?
Otherwise, I think Samsung released a wifi-only version of the Galaxy S, seemed pretty rad.

Not going to happen I'd say.
Most PMPs have only one sole purpose. Play Music. A screen smaller than 4 inches means, it'd be useless for anything else other than Music. I'd say go for an iPod that supports iOS apps.
I would buy a cheap android phone, stick cm7 on it and put it in airplane mode, maybe a zte blade (orange sanfransisco in uk) £70 new.

Yea, that'd do as well. But, sometimes, the sound quality of most mobile phones stand up to that of a mp3 player. That should be taken into account as well. As a thumb rule, Motorola phones have good sound quality.
Just search around if you want a phone. You might find even cheaper phones.

Streak for showing off photo's

Ive been a long time follower of the Streak but never picked one up, I'm looking for something that I can use to browse the web, play music / video and show off my photographs and I was wondering if people have found the 5" screen to be big enough for this purpose on the Streak?
chrism..... If you want the capability to connect to the internet without having to rely on wifi only, there's really no other alternative to the Streak (with largest screen that will still fit in your pocket). I've used about every "premium" smartphone there is, and nothing even comes close to my Streak. Get one .... you will not regret it! Good luck with your search
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
Oh, and yes, it's perfect for watching videos / looking at photos because it has great contrast (dark blacks)..... I've read a couple of reviews that say "It's one of the best non-AMOLED screens on any device" for viewing content
Sent from my Dell Streak using xda premium
Thanks for the reply, kinda swithering between picking this up or just waiting to buy a tablet to be honest
Best smart phone I've owned!
Got mine Oct last year, out of the box, was better than my three previous win mobile phones, even if it did have 1.6 on it!
Updated in Dec to 2.2, now still running 2.2.2 and with some MINOR memory tweaks, ditching the bloat, and ditching the dell launcher, installing go launcher, this thing is LIGHTNING fast, and smooth. Runs a few days then I reboot it, just for my personal tastes.

I'm not a Prime member so I might be missing something here, but doesn't the stock Galaxy Note 8 have Android 4.1?

Might inquire in the Galaxy Note 8 forum too--if you haven't already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8-0
If the Note is rooted, there seems to be a few 4.2 ROMs that might be suitable too... FYI.

The answer is 'yes', and I found the solution by Googling on the first shot. I would normally share the find but the snarky attitude isn't much motivation to help.

Really? There is NO way to watch HD Amazon content on any KitKat device. KitKat uses the Chomium webkit, so It ain't happening period. Now, you can use a browser that utilizes server-side rendering, but again, you are getting a compressed stream, NOT HD & a less than stellar bitrate at that.
The Note 8.0 released with 4.1, but has since been updated 4.2.2. It may still work using the flash apk (which Amazon tends to break from time to time with every DRM update), but you are still in the wrong forum OP.

I'm just wondering how come a company such as Amazon who builds/sells Kindle Fire tablets which are essentially Android tablets albeit forked versions (but still Android by heart) that they don't support other Android tablets in terms of an Amazon Prime Instant Video Android app.
The only workaround i see is watching it on my PS3 (which i can't carry on a train or bus when i'm travelling or when i'm on a holiday on a beach somehwere) or buy an iPad (which for me is not anymore viable as an Android tablet does all jobs for me) or a get a Kindle Fire tablet (which i've sold due to lack of apps albeit third-party stores) or email Amazon and wait till they realize that they need to create such an app.
Just bloody ridi:silly:cks!

get the amazon app via the amazon app shop (not from the playstore!) and just try. As i see it, there are now some devices working ok with it, and others are not working. This is the last thing i know. BTW i have an K-R42 (Android TV box) and its NOT working there. i dont know why. Is there anybody not as clueless as we are?!
thank you =)
Amazon Prime Instant Video working on Chinese Tablet
Had a lot of fiddling about to get this working on my Chinese Tablet running 4.4.2 . . .
Teleread had the answer, so I am posting here and hopefully it will help others. The main bit didn't work, but scroll down the page to the posts from users and review the help given by CHRIS on September 17. It was HARD to get my tablet to download the Android Phone app (rather than the default TABLET app) as Google Playstore refused to show the phone app to me. I did a google search and found a link to the app that didn't use either google or amazon. Now I am watching Amazon Prime Videop on my Chinese ONDA iPad look-alike.
HOW TO
and the work-around to get it to work

It was painful but I got it to work on 3 devices – a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 (7.0) and an HTC Evo 4G LTE. Not intuitive would be an understatement! Here is what I did on each device in the order I did them.
1. Download and install the Amazon Appstore APK using link above.
2. Download and install the Instant Video (AIV) APK from the Amazon Appstore.
–At this point I got a runaround where the AIV app would direct me to a website which asked for my email which sent me a link to that same website. Frustrating. Turns out the AIV app runs through the Amazon shopping app – for PHONES – and you have to have the most updated version from the Google Play store.–
3. Download and/or update and install the Amazon shopping app from the Google Play store, PHONE VERSION (the tablet version I have on my Tab3 does NOT work but the phone one does).
4. Opened the Amazon shopping app from Google Play and signed in.
5. Opened the AIV app from the Amazon apps store and bingo!
Playback works well on 2/3 of my devices. It is super fuzzy on my HTC Evo 4G LTE but that is still running 4.1, my other two devices have KitKat and it works great.
Once it’s installed it’s nice but a pain in the ass to get up and running. Why Amazon? Why not just make a nice app for the Google Play store like everybody else? With their very nice Roku and iPad apps this antipathy to Android confuses me.
