Office 365 mobile - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Can someone do me a favour and try downloading office 365 mobile from playstore? It's free. Link below:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.office.officehub
My device is listed as not being compatible, am in support threads with Microsoft and Google to determine why, want to know if it's just me or a c6833 issue. If you don't see it in a search that means your not compatible.
Thanks in advance peeps.

Hehe... Thanks mate, I had a sneaking suspicion this will affect all Z Ultra users.
Can some others try also, especially other models?

Yeah. I got it off a third party store called 1mobile market, but of course I don't get proper updates, plus I hate using a third party store personally. Just wanted to get it sorted as it'll affect a lot of people especially business users.

I keep about 10 APK's in my external SD. Just to install when I flash a new ROM. usually things like the playstore (as without that ya stuffed) and free apps that I find are essential.

I had to send it to Hong Kong as thats where I bought it from. New Zealand wont stock it. blah!!
I got an email saying they have signed for it, so maybe another 7-10 days??
so essentially 3 weeks without my Ultra. But I didn't have a choice. Wasn't going to have a device that thought it was charging all the time..

3 weeks! To be fair, that's about the same time it would take her in UK for a service. Jesus, being without the zu for 3 weeks makes playing with yourself the only real alternative :sly:

Hi SpyderTracks,
Same issue here when I had my Z Ultra. It says app is not compatible. I think this is due to the fact that it is identified more as a tablet than a phone. When I first was playing with the floor model, I noticed that the "Settings" menus look more like Android tablet style than the phone version. I've noticed that on my Galaxy Note 2, the settings menu is black versus white/gray on my Galaxy Note 10.1. I can't say if this is for certain all Android but it seems that way looking at other phones vs. tablets. Another app I was looking at was "mysms" and it shows main app as incompatible. Other apps it shows both the phone version and tablet version as compatible.
I've searched Google and run across a trick where you modify one or two elements the "build.prop" file to make Google App store identify your phone as a different phone (like a Samsung S3). I haven't tried this myself though I plan on doing it sometime in the future possibly.
Hope this helps.

Thanks mate. I'm in contact with Microsoft on this and they say the XZU should be compatible, they're blaming Google play store for the issue, but Google say the app compatibility is specified in the code of the app and they have no control over it. I've done a quick search and found some code snippets which back this up, so I think I'll escalate the issue with Microsoft.
Would still appreciate some more testers with C6802, C6806 to try? Will give me extra weight with Microsoft if I can point them to this thread.

I have a C6802 and it also says that "This app is incompatible with your device."

Google for office mobile 365 apk, install it manually, it works fine and great on z ultra big screen. I already tested it. I have not rooted my ultra but on wanam exposed module there is an option to trick the play store so that it shows all app.

Yeah, it's not a problem running or finding the app, but I don't like 3rd party stores and want updates coming from Google play.

Hi all
Thanks to those of you that helped out. Microsoft have admitted the issue and are looking into their specifications for compatibility within the app. As it's a coding issue, it'll need an update so may take a bit of time, but it's great they're looking into it.
If you want to keep up with updates on this, the thread is here

Anyone else having an issue with the Amazon app store?

I have between unable to log on to the Amazon app store since I got my Note. Out still works on my skyrocket, and my wife's inspire. Anyone else having this problem?

nope, i check it for the free app every morning. Did you load it with a fresh download APK or from one that already had? I have had issues in the past where it was buggy or just woulding work right when I installed from a previously downloaded version on my SD card. Have amazon send you the link to your phone for a fresh DL if you havnt already yanked and reinstalled.
I have installed it fresh. Is there a limit to the number of devices that can be linked to one account?
ok, problem solved! I had never unregistered any of my previous devices, and every custom rom I ever installed on any device counted as a new device. Max devices appears to be around 20.
No i dont think there is a limit on the number of devices you can use.

Thanks for the tip. I had 9 devices registered even though I only have 2. All of the others were the various ROMs I had installed on my previously sold Infuse.
Interesting, where did you find this feature? I'm sure I'm teetering on the edge with all my flashing.

It seems the only way to get around the small font in apps like this is to change the dpi meetings of your phone which will require rooting.

T-Mobile TV

Is there anyway to get T-Mobile TV to work for the note? I downloaded the app from the play store however when I open it, it says not compatible with your device. I know their are a lot of T-Mobile users and was wondering do any of you guys have this working. Or is there any possible way to get this to work?
Thanks

It only works on certain T Mobile devices. Also there is SD and HD shows that are also only able to be viewed on certain devices. Most standard def channels can be watched on all the devices that T Mobile TV works on but the HD channels can only be watch on a few devices as of now. I doubt we will get this working on an AT&T Note. There is a list on the T Mobile site that will show you all the devices the app will work on.
Maybe a build.prop change that makes it look like one of the approved devices.

Ah okay that sucks just thought it'd be a neat thing to have to watch some random shows when I was bored. A build prop change seems too much of a hassle for this small thing plus it might cause some other apps to stop working.

U might have been shocked to see this app free after u purchased it lol
I have purchased long before and already used alot so no regrets. Also I got with offer from sygic website. Rs 1500 for 2 licence. Also each licence you can use in 5 different device. So it was just negligible price.
But one good reason to believe this free is
When i have see option to purchase from sygic app, all other countries have price tag but for India it shows get free from play store.

I can't find a paid version on mention of a trial or the app asking me to pay for it. I guess they really made it free.

Need apk. Cant install UK TV catchup app from playstore on UK z ultra help please

When I try to install tv catch up on the playstore it's not showing up anymore. I tried searching everywhere in xda forums and Google but can't find the latest version of it. When I install it, It says it needs latest version which I can't download on playstore anyway. Has anyone got the latest apk file and help me out.
On a side note, Iam loving the xperia z ultra. Seems smaller now then when I first saw it, funny how that works. Anyway I can't imagine myself using a smaller phone now. Unlike the note 2 which I always felt was too small to make me not want a tablet and too big for just having it as a smartphone.
The xperia z ultra feels like a very portable ultra slim tablet with phone capabilities, which saves me carrying around 2 devices

Thank you for the response.
I thought it could have happened right after I flashed a firmware update, glad to know that it's not that.
I actually think that it might have something to do with copyright reasons I remember tv catchup removing channels because of that.
It's a shame as the video quality of the broadcasts were really good much better than iplayer etc

i hate the fact that as a business, UK companies are so LAZY, bbc iplayer and others channels on android suck. You have Lovefilm that doesn't even have streaming, Sky's NOW SERVICE that only supports like 2 or 3 devices.
Just look at Netflix and the service it provides to keep its customers.
You have high stores like HMV, GAME, and others all crying coz they are going out of business, yet still they don't even try to be competitive.
I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.
That's why I managed to download TV catchup instead of using their Sh**t lazy ass apps.

It is about licensing issues. To get around chasing up their own licensing deals they went through a company called Slacker (according to Engadget). Slacker is unavailable in my country (Australia) and so Samsung Milk is too. I believe Slacker is available in the UK but obviously I can't test this and frankly I'm too lazy to check. If that is the case you could reasonably expect Samsung to expand to the UK shortly if they make a deal with Slacker. Countries that don't have Slacker are probably in for a much longer wait.
Is it Samsung milk or coffee?
