[Q] App to view MSN XML files - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I was wondering if there is an app or similar that could help me open and view the .xml files that are made when MSN backs up the history logs on a computer on a android tablet?
I'm starting to use my Prime tablet more than my old Laptop, but I still need easy access to my MSN chat logs from my computer, and when i open the .xml files with a text editor, the result is chaos (as I would've thought it to be), so I need something to display it with properly.
Any ideas?

[Q] Cross Platform Live shared Clipboard

Hi There!
I am trying to locate something I can run on my tablet, phone and PC that I can copy and paste urls, pictures, etc, and instantly have it available on my other devices.
Kind of like a shared live clipboard, that can be set to only sync via WiFi (or 3G).
Thanks.
Dropbox can do this. I don't know about URLs but I think it might support it.

Solving problem with edited Polaris files in Office

I had a problem with opening Office files on a PC after editing the files in Polaris on my Prime. I discovered a workaround so you don't have to start your document all over again.
You need to e-mail the file to your gmail account as an attachment and then view it in Google Documents. After opening it will say the file is corrupt but it offers the possibility to view it in Plain HTML and there is your document. It's not a perfect sollution but a reasonable workaround, you will only lose certain data but most of it is rescued.
I hope this will help you

I used Polaris to write a document in a meeting - a couple of lessons learned...
1 - did it really do that? I think that if I leave the app without saving it, it loses information. I have not fully figured it out but is that others experience? can I swap around apps and NOT lose data?
2 - trying to view the document in Word afterwards was really frustration. The worse item was linebreaks in the middle of words in a paragraph. Ultimately I started a new blank Word document and imported the Polaris version into it and all was well.

[Q] Seeking the Impossible Calendar App

I'm new to Android, have a non-rooted Tranformer TF101 and prefer to keep it that way for now. I need a stand-alone, non-syncing calendar app that allows me to add typed notes to each day's appointments and to attach .jpg and - here's the impossible part - .pdf files to each appointment. I also want password protection for the entire clendar.
I tried Jorte, but can't add .jpg or .pdf files to the appointments - unless I just can't figure out how, which I'm not ruling out. I've tried Private Diary. While it's not in the monthly calendar view I prefer, I could add .jpg files to each day. . . but then it kept crashing.
I love my Sunbird calendar and would go all-Android if there were something like it available. Anyone want to write this app for me? I'm a lawyer and I know other lawyers would find this useful.
Thanks!

Where's my documents?

I used window explorer to transfer a bunch of files such as pdf, excel etc.. but when I open office 365 and click on documents on your phone. I couldn't find any files that I transfered.
How do I get to the files?
Well lets start by back tracking and asking where you moved the files too on the phone when you used Windows explorer and then are the files still there when viewed with Windows explorer now.
Then are you telling the app to look in that directory for the docs. It won't just scan the phone and find all the docs. You have to point it to the docs.
Have you tried another app like Open Office? Just to make sure the app is not the issue?

[Kik] Extract chat log from database

Hey everyone.
I recently found out that Kik auto deletes old message and being a bit of freak about storing old messages, I decided to take the matters into my own hands. I was able to locate the databse file and extract the text from it via SQLite
But when I opened the db file as plain text, I found all the old chat messages in the file but for some reasons, they aren't visiable in the database. I have very limited experience with databases, so if I'm missing something obvious, I'm sorry.
