You can delete them by getting a file manager app or connecting the tablet to your PC and manually delete them.
As for a document viewer, I've used Document to Go, and it seems alright.
Use honeycomb filemanager from market to search files and folders on your tablet, it has a kind of explorer interface with a 'downloads' folder on the left of the screen.
To make it fit even more just use the 'grid' layout
Done. Many thanks.

Hey,
does any of you know of any .ODT reader or editor (OpenOffice files). I want to open it on my qtek and not save it on my desktop to that crappy .DOC and upload it on my phone..
Thanks a bunch
I bet there's no such ODT reader/editor. If you dont like DOC why dont you use RTF? I believe the only way how to read ODT on smartphone is to open the archive and read it with all the elements (or open OO through VNC).

Coz for me, RTF is the biggest mistake ever. First it has just basic formating options. Second, it's like advanced TXT. Try comparing it with DOC and you'll see.
So now i'm doing it two ways - using the DOC, which takes lots of space actually, documents from my company are up to 30MB and I am not using just one or two documents, and the second way how i'm doing it now is that I am really unziping the ODT file and reading the raw XML file.. Not that comfortable...
Well, anyhow, just tried lol

It reads text to you...You don't talk to it..
Sorry... brain fart. I was thinking about the other way around. For some reason I was thinking of "Dragon - Naturally Speaking".... more of a dictation app.
My bad for being a jerk .... SORRY!!!
Am I stupid or can no one else find the download for this either. I have tried in the markets and also searching all over google for an apk, no luck.

Anyone try this on rooted stock? In cm7, tts works fine, the kernel on stock is a bit different though. I will try when I get a chance and post results. Just curious if others got it to work.
Thanks a lot.

Can't get it to read an EPUB (non-DRM) on CM7 to save my life. No issue with clipboard reading, haven't tried a plain text file. Moon+ Pro works fine.

I have only CM7, so don't know about stock ROM, but it works on my another custom ROM for Samsung i5801. Also from the Google reports I can see it works on lots of Samsung devices too. I hope it should work for on stock Nook ROM too.

To be honest with you, it has lot of bugs. But before releasing it, I used several non DRM epubs from feedbooks, O'Reilly, Pragmatic and other sources and it worked for them. But if you can send us the sample epub file, I can look into fixing that.
Also the comparison with apps with PRO in name is not ....
Moon Reader is much advanced and supports DRM books too. I needed an application like word player, but which works on my large screen Nook, so I wrote this. Also the main intent of Talking Clipboard is to read webpages, ReadItLater bookmarks, text copied from article in Browser, etc. which no one else supports. EPUB reading is just added yesterday, and I am still working on that.
One Tip: Just unzip the epub book manually, and open the html file, using the read text or html file feature.
I tried to download this and it said that the app is not compatible with my device. What is up with that?
Did not get a chance yet to try, but did just hit the tts button on Moon+ Worked like a charm. Therefore, this should work.

I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 with the ASTRO browser installed and 20 GB of files on the sdcard. Does anybody know of a search app that will enable me to search the entire sdcard quickly, as one would do with Google desktop or Copernic?

Do you mean on the tab or from the PC?
If you talking about the Market app "Astro File Manager", it searches the SDCard very quickly from the tab. Give some more info and I'd bet you will get some better answers.
We where discussing the lack of drive-letter access in this thread, so searches from PC's are going to be limited to "if" the search tool can even access a Windows Media Device. I don't know of a way to do that....but some one will chime in if they do I'm sure.

There is a search magnifying glass in the toolbars in the Astro file manager?

I'm referring to the Astro File Manager, and I'm interested in searching the sdcard from the tablet. Since my sdcard contains a synced copy of all of my desktop PC files, I have no need to search the tablet from the PC. If I'm sitting at my PC, I'll just search the PC. Astro searches the tablet, but not quickly. Astro takes about 1 minute to search my sdcard when I search through file names only, and the search returns no results when I use the "Find text in file" option, which is not helpful. I've been spoiled by Google, Copernic, and Windows 7 and now find waiting so long for a search that only checks file names to be retro in a bad way.
I'll give a practical example to supply more info about why I asked the question. Thanks to this thread I had my tablet with me (with all of my documents on the sdcard) at a meeting yesterday and somebody had a question about a file from two years ago. I couldn't remember which directory the file was in or what it was named, and was unable to track it down with the Astro search or by browsing. After about a minute of poking around, the moment had passed and we gave up and moved on to the next topic. I went back to my office and found the file in about 2 seconds on my desktop PC using the Copernic desktop search tool, which I think is awesome. I would like to be able to do the same thing with my tablet, i.e., have an indexed search engine for the sdcard on it. Had I found the file quickly at the meeting, we could have resolved the issue on the spot instead of putting it on the agenda for the next meeting.

Trying to do a similar thing, i would be extremely interested by a solution too.
By curiosity, what program do you use for syncing purpose? SugarSync?
Edit : just see the thread you linked in your previous post. You can try sugarsync, seems very promising and easy, and 5go is enough to carry all my work.
I wonder if it exists another solution with our own server maybe?

Sorry about the slow response. I tried SugarSync and it wasn't my thing. 5 GB of free space was not enough. 30 GB was $4.99 per month and I'm way too cheap and stubborn for that. Although price really isn't that much, I decided I would find a way to sync my files between two devices with no monthly free, period. Special thanks to the Samba developers for making that possible.
I just got my new gtablet yesterday. The main reason I bought it is so I can carry my tech documents I need for work around with me. These files are some in PDF, and some in html. The PDF files are displaying properly, but when I copy the html documents to the tablet from my PC, and try to open them, they are all blank. I am using the file browser to find the files on \sdcard and open them by clicking, so I am using whatever default browser is loaded on the tablet.
Any help would be appreciated, most of the documents I need to look at are in html format.

The stock browser does not seem to read local html, but Dolphin,or Opera Mobile browsers do. Download these and iFileManager. Use iFileManager to locate the file, tap to open, and pick Dolphin or Opera Mobile.
Where can I get ifile manager? I downloaded Opera and that's already leaps and bounds better than the default browser!

If you have opera mobile (not opera mini) you don't need a file manager. You can type
file://localhost/sdcard/
and get to the files from there.
I had iFilemanager from the TNTLite ROM, not sure if it is in Android Market.
I was just about to post that. I tinkered around and found I can just type in file://sdcard/ and see all my files that way. Awesome! I can now do something useful, instead of just play Angry Birds.
Thanks so much!
hi there
just got this amazing transformer prime....was using it for university work
using polaris, i typed up an extensive document, saved it, selected it and then clicked on the 'move to' tab, selected the destination and saved it in that destination
i then looked in the saved location and the file was lost!!!!!!!!! no longer there! dont know where it is!
i tried looking in the 'recent' files section, but nothing!!
where did it go and how can i retrieve it?
plz help, a lot of work went into that document
You could use a file manager program to run a search by filename for the document. Might work.

Apparently, Polaris office does that times to times...
especially when editing documents from Google Docs, there are no other way to safe directly to Google Docs.. you have to save it on the prime locally and upload it to Google Docs, otherwise, your hard word disappear to nowhere.
