ms office isn't available for note 4? - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In fact, it is not available for any of my recent devices (Note 12.2 pro, tab s 8.4) All have been rooted and dpi modified. I know that this can cause playstore difficulties...
Does anyone have a solution? Or even better, could someone pls post the apk?

If you already have the apk from another device you could sideload it. It works fine on mine

To my knowledge the Office 365 Mobile app does not support the high DPI of our beloved Note 4. Same is true of the LG G3, which has the same resolution.

It does work (I have it on mine) you just cant download it from the Play Store as they have it blocked. Why? I'm not sure but it works perfectly on my phone.

It is blocked because Microsoft has not tested it with High DPI devices, so it is not yet officially supported.

It works fine with the normal xposed hack. It used to be called "all apps" but now it's called "playstore fixes" . Office mobile installed and worked fine.

Yeah it works, only change was I had to change the DPI the module forces to 160 (from the stock 240) to get it to work.
Works nicely, though!

Nah it doesn't mess with the phone's settings, just what the phone is reporting to Google as the DPI of its screen.

Clear the cache/data of Google Play Store and then reboot. Should work then, assuming you did it all correctly.

Why would there be movies? That is only for HC, right now. Seems better in landscape for me, then portrait tbh.
Also, install instructions like that are unneeded. Just move the vending.apk to your sdcard and install with a file manager. It will just update like normal.

I like the new look. You can see and discover more apps with this tile like layout.
There is also something strange about the market... I am seeing games like Modern Combat 2, BackStab, and Nova 2 on the Market. Last time I checked, Gameloft didn't release their games on the Market and my device can't play those games.

How are they preventing Playback on Rooted devices? Is there some way it detects that we're rooted or something? If it simply tries running a Command via SU, couldn't we block that? I'm trying to think of otherways that it could detect Root but all the ones I can think of I think we could workaround. What are they doing to accomplish this?

That is the only reason i want this apk bad! Not having to input my pin/password at home and at my job seems really convenient.
I installed 6.5.85 nnnnn-438
It was updated (by Google) to 6.5.87 nnnnn-430.
I'm unaware of any issues and location unlock is working however it is the case that it doesn't work with lock enable/disable features of Elixer 2 or Power Toggles.
I had -438 installed before and trusted places worked without issues. However, I had poor battery life (mobile radio active), so keep that in mind.

I installed the 5.85...-438 apk in what I assumed was the standard fashion. After the 5.87...-430 update there's no option to go back.
Maybe someone will upload the 1.88...-730 version to apkmirror.
If you revoke GPS administrator privileges it will allow you to roll back.
I wonder if anyone on the Nexus 6 has received -730? It's been almost a week since the rollout - kind of shocked I don't have it yet AND there is no APK available...

Google pushed 6.5.87 (1599771-430) to my phone. This was also reported by a N6 owner on reddit.
The numbering scheme on apkmirror says -430 is a Nexus 6 with a non-dpi specific resolution. Do you have some reason to suspect Google pushed the wrong apk to my phone?

After resetting my Gear live several times; it finally starting downloading the update.
Reset then pair and check for update. Checking for update manually doesn't appear to work otherwise.
Edit: I'm on 5.1.1 and wifi works great at home. I'll have to see how well it fares on Optimum/Xfinity wifi later.
After a brief investigation I have determined (unsurprisingly) that Optimum/Xfinity wifi is out. And after additional consideration that's probably a good thing.
Also using a local wifi hotspot between the watch and the paired phone will not work. (To clarify connecting your watch to a hotspot on the same phone that normally host Android Wear will not work.)
You can however use another phones wifi hotspot to pair both the phone and watch.

Galaxy Note 5 Doesn't Give Me Default Apps Option

default apps
Got the T-Mobile variant and coming from Note II.
When I have multiple apps that can open a item, I would get a prompt. With my Note II, I could then specify to open it one time or always.
With my Note5, the prompt doesn't give me that option. I do get the option to select the application. I click the icon and then a get a popup reminding me how to clear the defaults.
But, I didn't want to set that application as the default. I still want to be prompted for selecting the app to open.
Is this new? Any workarounds?

yeah, this setting sucks. i don't always wanna open a file in the same program so i leave no default on certain file types.
Is there a way around this without root?

Have you tried long-pressing?

I've noticed that when I open filed via ES File Explorer, it still gives me the option.
Most other things it doesn't. I agree, its pretty annoying. Like attaching that photo to Tapatalk....

I didn't get my device yet. But, I think this free application Better Open With could be a solution for time being

Long press takes you to the application information page.

Anyone figure this out? I really dont want to have to install and app to do something the OS should already be doing. Seems pretty stupid of Google to not give you the option to set the default once or always like before.
I've got the same thing going on over here, very odd indeed. The GS6 doesn't do this to me.

To be clear, Google does give you the option. The behavior you see is a change samsung introduced in the latest version of TouchWiz.

gotcha. lol. either way, stupid idea to take it out. :cyclops:
I've for the same thing going on here, except that when I press an app (eg Chrome) it automatically opens it in chrome afterwards, no option to reselect unless I dive into app settings). Still very dumb. A far cry though from the annoying dialog box in old TouchWiz. The one that reminded you how to clear defaults. Every. Single. Time.
Yeah, I didn't like the old dialog AT ALL, it asked and asked and asked... I don't see why samsung changed it from the default at all, but oh well.

I agree. Some things I made permanent but certain thing I liked to open differently from time to time.

I thought this odd as well and thought maybe there was a simple fix.. I Google'd terms such as default apps for note 5 etc and noticed a ton of people complaining about other phones and how every time it asked them what app to open and that it was confusing and they didn't understand why it kept asking them. I wonder if samsung thought that by taking the choice away it would make the software easier to navigate.. they should have made it an option to select one time only, even if they hid it somewhere in settings. So far the better open app linked above has brought this function back and I barely notice it's not stock.

This app works great for the note 5. Doesn't work for all situations, but does for most. Not sure why sammy would remove the choice to pick to open once or always with the app. I guess they are trying to simplify things, at the cost of functionality. At least with this app you can get most of that functionality back.
This has been driving me crazy...especially since the functionality is still present on the galaxy tab s2 running 5.1.1. I tried better open with and it didn't seem to work for me. Maybe I'm using it wrong? Any tips on the app?
