PDF on MotoX - Moto X Q&A

Am I supposed to be able to open PDF on my phone without downloading any additional apps? I thought I was able to do it and for whatever reason I can't now( am I doing something completely off or I imagine things?)

I've always needed an app to open a pdf on my phone. I usually use Adobe Reader, but there are several that will open them.

It works without any app on my Nexus 7..

By default we don't need any apps.. PDFs will open via QuickOffice. Did you uninstall/disable it?

i've tried freenote. i think its the worst memo type app. its not very easy to use the only best part is the paint, and the only reason i haven't uninstalled it yet is because of the paint feature
i'm gonna try the other ones you guys have posted
I like skitch because it's from evernote and the sketches/notes syncs automatically to my evernote on iPad, PC and Mac.

What browser are you using?

I was using chrome from day one. Ended up using the stock internet browser to watch a flash video. It was much faster. Has anyone else experienced this as well?

I've been using chrome since it syncs with my pc. I've been thinking about switching to stock for the flash support, but iono, I'm so used to chrome
Yeah chrome has been my go to browser since day one as well. Stock browser seems really nice, but I just love chrome too much. Maybe I'll rotate them... But probably not.

Stock for me... Love the text flow when zooming in and won't give it up for anything..

Chrome for me as well. Just can't seem to give up the connectivity to my other devices. Open tabs, bookmarks etc...
Chrome as well, PC Sync makes it the clear winner in the Browser category for me.

There are many things like this the stock browser does better than chrome including flash.

I like this for chrome also but find the stock browser faster and smoother.

How were you able to get flash working. Tried watching a flash video today using the stock browser and it kept telling me I needed flash installed
Edit:
Yup just I installed the latest flash version from the thread and nothing

Yeah I'm using chrome beta with data compression enabled it is by far the fastest especially on sprints limited service
Dolphin for life.

Chrome, verry nice look, clean interface, fast and reliable sync.
An excelent browser!
disabled Chrome, don't like it, never have. I am currently using One Browser, very quick.
I really want to use Chrome, but I prefer the Android stock browser's tab management better, specifically that the browser closes when you close the last open tab. If this can be done in Chrome, I've never seen the option to do it.

I really like dolphin but it stutters for me on a lot of sites I regularly visit which I use Chrome and stock when the stuttering gets to be too much

Maxthon browser for me, it's fast in areas where I have bad data. And I always have bad data.
Chrome and the stock Internet browser are good for quick things.. But even telling it to give you the desktop site, it typically doesn't.
Everyone do yourselves a favor and try opera on this thing.

Google Drive doesn't work

When I try to view a spreadsheet from my Google Drive App it gives me the following error and won't open: "Unfortunately, Android System Has Stopped." PDFs and image files open, but not spreadsheets.
Has anyone experienced this, and if so, any idea how to fix it?

Try reinstalling it or clearing all data from drive and try again

I uninstalled it, restarted the phone, and reinstalled the app and it still doesn't work.

Do you have esfile explorer or other file explorer installed? Try to uninstall to see if it works.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda app-developers app
Yeah, I've already tried uninstalling ES File Explorer and it still doesn't work. I really don't understand what could be causing it since it worked on my Galaxy S4, LG Optimus G Pro, Note 2, Note 1, and HTC One.

I've read somewhere that disabling download manager in ES file explorer fixes the problem... I forgot where but I remember I had the problem before on my one x and it fixed it. Try also clearing the defaults for drive and es

Try Quickoffice. It's a google product. Let me know if that works.
Quickoffice opens the spreadsheet, but it's a read only PDF.

Ah...I would definately fish around the app store for something that might work.
Yeah, I've been looking. I have resorted to opening them in Chrome, which works Ok, but not as nice as actually using the Drive App.

I FOUND THE PROBLEM!:good: It was an app called Loader Droid. I uninstalled the app and now the files open in Drive. I will email the developer and make him aware of this issue.

[Help]Connection Error

I don't really know what I did, but whenever i try to go to the playstore i get a 'no connection error'. Clicking the retry button doesn't help. I've tried editing the host file (which worked on my galaxy s3) but i can't seem to find the host file in my root folder. In fact, my whole root folder is empty.
My playstore isn't the only thing that was affected. On my youtube application, i am able to browse videos, but whenever I try to play a video, i get the 'there was a problem with the network[401]' error. On many games like six guns, dungeon hunter 4, where there will be game files download frequently, doesn't work as well. I just get a network error whenever i launch the game. I have problems with websites such as adfly and other adhosting websites. I can't connect to those web too.
Im on a LG-D958 rooted.
