Hi. When downloading a PDF file (for instance from Facebook) I get a message saying something like "No application available to open file."
If I'm opening a PDF sent to me as an attachment in Gmail it opens just fine. I have Google pdf reader, Acrobat reader and a couple other pdf readers installed just to try if they work. They don't make any difference.
Is it a software problem? System? Launcher?
Running everything stock with ColorOs and stock launcher.
Thanks!
I don't use the Facebook app but it's strange issue as mine open using Gmail, drive, chrome and root explorer... I haven't even download a dedicated pdf reader. If you goto the app management then click default apps section does it let you select your pdf app as the default viewer for text file?

This is what I get.
I thought changing the default app might work since it said no default app was set. But nothing changed...
Good afternoon friends. Please tell us how to compress PDF files if you know how to do it. I just don't understand anything at all, I bought a computer recently. Help me with your advice, friends.

It really frustrates me how there isn't an option to open links in new windows.
I think it's just limited to external use, where opening a link from another app or from the search widget just opens the link in the current window in the browser.
Any fix for this?
N.B. I'm using Modaco's Desire ROM, so HTC's "internet" browser.
That also means I can't switch to another third party app such as dolphin browser (which does the same thing anyway) since this is the only browser with Flash atm.
Thanks.
If you long press a link, it'll bring up the context menu which should give you the option to open in a new window/tab.
what about external links? Such as links in emails etc.
And when you use the search widget?

Long press, copy, open browser, new window, paste in url bar. If you just HAVE to use the search widget for google searching then just do it from within the browser.
importing .kml into google earth? sory if this has been covered but i searched for quite a while and couldnt find out how to do it. i used wardriver to map out network locations and i exported the data to .kml. now shouldnt i be able to load that .kml into google earth? i uploaded the .kml to wigle.net but it didnt give me a http addy to search for with GE. i even tried typing a .kml addy from a different site into GE search but it said not found.
this thread from april talks about .kml or GE not being available for android http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=661064. however i got GE from the market so i guess things have changed.
where can i find a clear-cut way of loading .kml files into GE?
I can't imagine nobody has any advise on this topic. Must have been covered already. Ill look elsewhere.

Man, I just can't figure it out. All the places just say to upload the kml to a host and search in GE for the url. I have uploaded the kml to wigle but it doesnt give me a url to my file. I simply want to place a layer of my wardriving networks on top of google earth. Is there anyone that can assist?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
The android GE does not import .kml files. Only the pc version.
well hell.. thats marvelous to know. how about google maps? can i use kml in google maps on my phone? if not is there some other sort of map app that i can use? id like to apply my wardriving kmls to a map so i can review and use them.
thing is, i cant find the url to my hosted kml's on wigle. i have a in post the forums there asking about it but it hasnt been answered yet.
import your .kml to maps.google.com if the account is the same as your phone it will show up automatically in android Google maps layers, just enable that layer
Thanks for the reply. I hate to be such a noob but unfortunately I am just that. A noob. Do I need to import from my pc? When I go to maps.google.com on my phone it asks to open with browser or with maps. When I choose browser it loads then closes. When I choose to load it in maps it doesn't close but I can't find the option to import anything. Any way you could explain it step-by-step to me like you would to a 4 year old? Heh.

Hey it is now possible to open KML file with GE .
Ther's an APP on the market to do this :
"I've developed an app for Android that lets you load a KML or KMZ file into Google Earth. If you are on the Google Android Market, then just search for "KMLZ to Earth". Google might have overlooked it, but aside from the first load of the file failing (Google Earth won't read the URI if it's not running), then my app works perfectly to display KML or KMZ files in Google Earth.
WrightRocket"
Enjoy...
kml files are for the DESKTOP google earth program.

Maybe you're right but with this app you can use it on your PDA...
Tested and approved!
ya missed the post about your addon app.
For the past year or so I've been using my gmail app on my phone to receive and edit .xsls files for work. All of the sudden I can no longer open them. When I select the attachted file it prompts me to chose from a selection of irrelevant apps to open the file. I've even downloaded specific apps; in addition to Polaris Office 5 which is what the Note 3 comes with and what, up until now, has been used to open these files with, and none of them will show up in the selection of apps to open the file with. Also, when trying to manually browse the file into the specific application it is now found among my downloaded apps. I'm not sure this is relevant, but its worth noting that I can no longer open these file types from the gmail webpage on my computer either. So I'm not exactly sure where the problem lies, I'm just hoping for some insight, if any would be willing to offer it.
Thanks in advance.

Mine opens automatically in Quickoffice, but only . xls, didn't try .xsls files. Download Quickoffice by Google

And just in case you guys couldn't figure it out, I meant .xlsx format, not .xsls.

GMail cannot open .xlsx, and I don't think it's ever been able to.
However, on a stock Note 3, you can open .xlsx from within gmail and via other methods - using Polaris Office. By default, gmail will use that to open .xlsx files on the Note 3. Note that when you open from gmail, and then hold home to get the task manager, it shows that window as being gmail, not polaris.
My guess is that you removed or froze Polaris Office. Put it back or defrost it, and see if it works.

I've been opening them via Polaris office for some time now and all the sudden it won't any more. I have the Polaris app running and everything. When I click on the attached file it gives me the option to open it using S Note, Nova Launcher and a couple other apps that can't read files. I don't get what the issue is. I have a few apps downloaded that are supposed to be able to read .xlsx files but it never gives me the option to open the file with those apps.

Have you tried docs to go? That app works for me

I downloaded the file from the website version of gmail and I think the problem is that the files are downloading as .bin files and not as what they are being sent to me as. Any ideas as to why that would happen?

Hello,
I'm a newbie on this forum. I recently bought a GG 1 and I've installed several APKs on it.
I'm reffering to Whatsapp and Adobe PDF Reader.
When I try to run Whatsapp, it says: You need network connection. My Note 3 is connected to WI-FI and to the GG.
Secondly, I can't view any PDFs on the GG. I have some PDFs on my phone. How can I sync them?
Please help.:good:
Thanks!!

Haven't used whatsapp on the gear but you typically would need to tether the gear to the phone. Not talking about being connected via BT but being tethered so it can access the net.
Not sure on PDF reader but if you have the pdf reader app installed on the gear and have PDF files in there as well, you can just open the app and navigate to the file. If the PDF file is on the phone, you cannot open it from the gear at this point

Use a file explorer ( I use ES File Explorer) to locate the file on the phone then long press it, share, select Bluetooth. The gear should prompt you to accept the file, accept it. Then use root browser on the gear to locate the file

It does not prompt me to accept the file. What should I do?
You can also push files to gear via adb.
Code:
adb push <local_file_path> <remote_path>

Just get Adobe reader from play store. ?
Install QuickOffice
I thought that Google drive supported this type...
I had to get Adobe Reader installed. I disabled Quick office as Google is supposed to get rid of Quick office soon.

Google Drive doesn't support PDF yet, and all features of Quick Office haven't been integrated with Google Drive. I'd rather install QuickOffice over Adobe Reader, as Reader always seems slow to open. I have found a couple PDFs that only opened in Reader, but they weren't anything important. QuickOffice always loads the PDF files quickly. Really though, it's just personal preference on what you use.
