You want to see this tablet at it's best check out

The xScope browser. After reading about it here earlier today I grabbed it and can't believe how it shows the ability of this tablet. I set the browsing agent as a "computer" and every site I've checked works flawlessly, including those with a lot of flash that didn't work before. Youtube videos look amazing and the speed is second to none.
The reason I wanted to mention it here is because so many people are working hard to make this tab the best it can be and I thought this shows what we have to work with. Personally this is going to allow me to do a lot more business work and makes the purchase a great move for me!
Sorry for getting a little over excited.

Can you please check www.bankofamerica.com? It fails for me using stock browser, and Dolphin HD and Lite. I have not tried other browser such as Xschope and Skyfire.

I use xScope also. Rothnic recommended it. Works very well. I went to the Bank of America site and it looks like it works. You didn't leave your account # so I can't really tell though It looks different in xScope than the stock browser.

Using stock and dolphin HD/Lite, login app falls behind some flash advertise, and no way to move the login applet front.
Yes, you can use Android App for BofA, but it is horrible. Too many crashes, and it works when it wants.
Damn, i left my tablet at home today since don't have decent carrying solution yet.. Really sux..

ah ok hopefully its fixed by the time i get my tablet since i do use the app alot.

I really didn't feel this thread needed to be moved. It's relevant to those of us working non-stop on the roms like TNT. It's important that we know what apps are making the most of the roms as a lot can be learned from that. I wasn't simply looking to review the app.

People love Dolphin and I don't know why. I have been using Xscope since it was free and I even paid for it now that it isn't and it just gets better with every update. It blows the other browsers out of the water!

On the contrary, this is related to a browser APP, which can be used regardless of which ROM is on your gTAB. Apps is the perfect forum for this post.

Tried the free version. Fancast didn't work for me in this one either. Flicker slideshows did working landscape...didn't in stock.

You're right had it been app review, which it wasn't. I was addressing those of us using certain roms.

Just a heads up. When I last used Skyfire the webpages were all generated on their servers. So unless things have changed I'd avoid using it for things like financial transactions.

Don't want to go on anymore about this too much, but this absolutely belongs in apps. You didn't say anything specific about a ROM, or development. You did give an app review about how it runs on this device. There currently is a lot of app related posts coming into development pushing down threads, and our mod is rightly so moving them.
On another note, I am on the list of of people who don't understand the hype on Dolphin and love xScope. I encourage everyone to try it.
Love loading webpages up, then hitting menu to go fullscreen. The toggle makes it great. Also nice swiping between tabs.

Can any one tell me where to find the xScope browser. Of course the crappy gmarket site the gtab has built in doesn't carry it.

I like XScope 6 a lot. Today I was able to watch a rental movie (from Amazon digital store) at full screen and no issues at all. The browser agent was set to "computer" with XScope and Amazon who needs the iTunes store?

App Suggestion - Synergy

*** Mod please move to App sub forum, I thought that's where I posted this and I seem to be wrong, thanks! ***
Hello,
I was sitting in my office today with my new Xoom in its charging dock next to my decent array of monitors and I thought to myself, hey, wouldn't it be cool if I could just drag my mouse over and use my tablet?
So I started investigating the potential for uses of Synergy with android and it seems more feasible with tablets in the market now more than ever, especially with the dock and it's nice resolution
I mean, checking and composing e-mail, small web surfing or using it for RDP or something of the nature for some quick tasks, or just for some media.
If you're like me and feel this could be a great idea, post in this thread and I'll see what I can do about getting the word out.
I know there is a smallllll project somewhere out there, but it doesn't seem to have any progress since last year.
Lets get the ball rolling!

iDisplay is already available on Android:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.idisplay.virtualscreen

Bad reviews for that app. Great concept though. I will try it.

This is already an accepted feature request by the Synergy project:
http://synergy-foss.org/pm/issues/572
If anyone decides to work on this, they should probably talk with the Synergy developers so that it's added as an official part of the project.

I cant get iDisplay to download from Market. Gives me an error. Both from phone and online market.

I looked at iDisplay, but after initial and subsequent read-throughs of the OP, I'm not sure that's exactly the concept he was talking about. To me, it doesn't sound like he wants to use his tablet as an extended display, but rather be able to control his tablet (and its ANDROID OS) using his computer's mouse and keyboard, but without the use of a program that simply duplicates the tablet's display on one of the PC monitors, but have the cursor and focus shift to the tablet as if it WERE just another extended display

Right-o good friend. Why would I want to use windows when android can do the little tasks I'd like? I think it'd a cool concept and have downloaded and tried the beta software for it on my Xoom, but its pretty early stages and doesn't have a mouse icon or much keyboard support.
Just trying to get people interested to further develop this awesome concept.
Thanks for the backup =)

No problem....this is something I could see myself using daily

Soundhound is tablet ready

Market link (edit - Link fixed. There needs to be a way to turn selected words into a link on the XDA App.)
Pointing this out because I think this is the first app I've seen that takes advantage of the newly released fragments API for pre-Honeycomb versions of Android.

Outstanding! Added to my apk list in my sig. Pure honeycomb design.

So far, seems pretty cool. The 'Phone' panel looks kind of funky, but it works well. I was converted from SoundHound a few weeks ago after Shazaam went to the five song limit. It's way better, IMHO.

Way better and faster. I love it.

Any word processing apps?

im having a hard time finding a good processing app @[email protected]

What about Google Docs? Does it work in Android browser or Dolphin? It's quite good.

There's going to be QuickOffice Pro HD for Honeycomb coming out soon.
And if you subscribe with your email, there's going to be 30% discount when you purchase it.

MS Office Live
Has anyone tried MS office for web? It runs very good in chorme on desktop, waiting for my wifi xoom to see how it works in honeycomb browser
Search office live in google to find it i cant post outside links yet

I have paid for Documents to Go and Picsel Smart Office. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. I like Picsel because it is the only app so far that displays graphics correctly but track changes are not available until the next big release (they have a good customer support). D2G has the track changes but lacks a lot of correct rendering and PPT support is atrocious. I'm sure in the next 2-3 months we'll have a decent selection to choose from!

Both Office Live and Google Docs are too heavy for the Xoom browsers, which is to be expected, they are not exactly optimized for our screen size and lack of desktop horsepower.
They both run, but are very clunky.
I tried ThinkOffice, no go - FC off the bat.
OfficeSuite Pro trial seems to loose the document as you type, then goes into a "Recover your doc screen" - I couldn't even get a paragraph in with this.
I'm open to suggestions here, I really need a solid Doc/XLS app that won't have issues that hinder it - I don't need full fledge office or anything, but I do need something that will let me View/Edit and finding one that does bullet points would be freakin sweet.

I don't need anything for graphics really, I just really need to read pdf and word docs and be able to edit all of them

What do you mean? I use them on my home computer in the same resolution in a browser that scores less in SunSpider than the Xoom stock browser. Is it because of touch? How would it work with keyboard and mouse (or touchpad)? Have anyone tried?

I purchased the Quick Office HD and I have to say I am really impressed so far!
Works great on my Xoom.

Try them, you can tell that the browsers struggles. More the office live than Google docs, but even with google docs there are things that you just have to have a mouse for. Sadly there is not yet an HTML standard for touch input as a replacement for mouse events. Especially with things like Hover, Drag, and Drop.

I think that the office apps that are available in the market are more than adequate for some light editing and productivity on the go. Its not necessary for these apps to have full compatibility with desktop versions imho. Being far too critical really.

Sure, I can also use my phone for typing but what I need a tablet to do is to recognize basic fonts, comments, and paragraph formatting. I don't think we're expecting too much. If I want a text editor that's different but if you claim to have a "professional" office suite and can't even display the symbol font then something's not right. But I'm glad it works for you!

i also ordered quick office HD and I mainly use powerpoint but quick office keeps auto advancing the slides. I don't want to have to keep pressing the pause button every time I manually advance the slides. Does anyone know how to turn off the auto advancing so that I can just manually advance the slides when I want to?

I have Quickoffice Pro HD. Not too impressed with it. I'm a college student so I bought my Xoom for notetaking in my classes (and because I am an Android freak). It works well enough for notes, but not as I would like it to. Formatting is very weird, and the worst part is no auto correct or spell check. If I am going to type fast and efficiently, I can't be going back every five seconds to touch the screen and change a letter. Very frustrating.
I'm hoping the office tech catches up with tablets soon. Don't really understand why I can't just have the same text functionality in my word processing app that I do in my Gmail or text messages.

Isn't autocorrect also a feature of the keyboard that you use? I have to admit that none of the keyboards I tried so far has as good an autocorrect as my iPhone :-(

For me: embedded YouTube videos run much better in the browser than before... They were unwatchable in 4.3.

ART which made it possible for me to not requiring to buy a Nexus 5 at this point.

Does art speed up the actual app (like scrolling, etc) or just load times?
The smart dialer is by far the best feature.

I use a commercial software to scan my documents with the Nexus 4 camera and turn them into PDF.
I was used to upload them into Dropbox and print them as soon as I got into my office.
Now I just point (for theatrical) my Nexus 4 towards the printer and shazam! I got a copy of my documents

Actually, with regards to embedded videos, it does not seem to work anymore for those that I have in my Pocket articles.
Just a "Couldn't load plug-in" error message.
But other than that, i think the new dialer does mirror my usage style of not keying in numbers all the time, but just that few contacts. nice feature there.

1 - ART. That makes me keep my Nexus 4 and now only waiting for Nexus 6 next year
2 - The new dialer. A think Google got a point here.

- The dialer: It seems a lot less...bland...and I feel like i want to use it more. (Bonus points for the fact it brought up the name of the take-away i've been using for the past few weeks that I never knew the name of)
- The hidden UI when browsing fullscreen content also makes that bit of a difference to me

Dialer is cool. Like the full screen browser too and overall better battery life.

Yes but you're not going to like it. Uninstall Google Search completely from your device, then install the AOSP launcher from CM11 rom, it's the same as Google launcher without the Google Now integration. It doesn't gone an extra row for home screen either, but it does show more apps in the drawer.

Yes the dialer has been my main frustration for a long time, having no t9 support. When it did, the limited display of 3 contacts with only name + number was somewhat dissapointing, especially since htc implemented that feature from day one it seemed.
I do miss the opportunity to switch functions using a swipe though (the dialer pad button is a little hard to press wile on a bicycle ), but overall I think it's a huge improvement, especially with the mentioned bonus point that it identifies numbers from businesses that are not in my contacts!

I like how Google didn't give us transparency on stock /s
I would say the new dialer and music lock screen are my favorites so far
