Quickoffice Pro HD available in the Market

Looks like Quick Office HD for the Xoom is finally available!!!
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.qo.android.tablet.am

We're supposed to get an ADDITIONAL 30% discount code by email when this is released, which is weird. And I wonder how we could do that and still have it in the Android Market. Whatever. Buying.
EDIT: Ah, it'd make sense for them to offer 30% off if you buy it outside the Market, they lose nothing that way. I'd rather have it tied to Market though, worth the extra $4.50

yeah I'm hoping that the discount applies to the market version as well so thats 30% off of 14.99. Their facebook page says the email will be sent out shortly once its available on their site.

This is awsome ... already downloaded and using it ... now I will be using my xoom at work
Ipad users watch out

There's no way you could apply a discount code to the Market. I'm guessing it's just if you buy through them, they sell it to you without the 30% Google gets when they sell through the Market.

So far works with Dropbox and did anyone notice that you can change width of the colums in the file manager
If you tap and hold the vertical bar and drag to the width of your liking

Already purchased, looks good

So if I buy it from them with the 30 % discount I won't get updates? That sucks ill just get the market version

Just a heads up. While I prefer having it from the Market because I like having all the apps I paid for in one place, there IS an Updates function INSIDE QuickOffice HD. So you can update it outside of the Market on your tablet.

After downloading and loading up a few different file types, It looks really good. Re sizing columns is awesome! Well worth the $ spent. Not worried about waiting for the 30% off. I will be using this heavily this weekend will report back any issues.

here's a quick video of it in action. it's pretty much like the Notion Ink Adam version, but a bit more polished up! i love it!

Works awesome! Needs more options on the Powerpoint.

I bought it and am pretty happy with it. They've done a nice job with the honeycomb integration.
I've had Doc2Go for about a year on my OG Droid and it still has more capability in the word processor. Spreadsheets seem about the same. Quickoffice has overall better graphics/image display. It's interesting that quickoffice PowerPoint module cannot handle the graphics in the Docs2Go ppt sample.
I will probably continue to use both apps. I hope that either Quickoffice gets a better word processor or Docs2Go gets a proper honeycomb version.

Don't worry about the 30% off deal. It's all marketing. If you go to their website to buy it you get "40% off if you buy now" with a retail price of $24.99.
The $14.99 is the discounted price. May as well buy it from the Market.

Awesome information thanks!

So far so good! This really shows how much better and useful apps can be when they are designed specifically for Honeycomb.

Are you able to sort in excel?

I picked this up from the Market as well, best mobile office suite I've used so far.

Chameleon

Hey guys, who has tried out the new chameleon launcher? It is pretty good. Very intuitive. Although, i feel like there is not nearly as much customization. Does anybody want me to post a video?

Aww man! I was saving my Google play store gift card credit for this and I just realised that I only have 7 dollars left over so I can't buy this. I hope there is a sale for this app in the future

$10 is way too much for just a launcher I think... looks cool though.

It looks good, but I thought even $4 was to much for Nova...

I might be a little guilty about it, buy it is pretty good. The main feature that someone would want with this is the changing, which means it will take you to a home page at a certain time, depending on location
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

So what's the big deal about this?
I don't see anything special about this launcher. Plus $10 is way too much for a mere launcher, especially considering they used Kickstarter to gather their fund in the beginning.

It is just new. The main reason to buy it is because of the gos integration thing. So say you are a t school or work, it will take you to a customized place for those things
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Awesome concept, apart from price, the only use provided widgets, laggyness and lack of customization is a big downfall but they should get fixed seeing that it's only v1
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I don't actually know how practical this thing is by putting on a whole bunch of auto-update widgets clunking on the home screen to suck the battery.
I'd rather keep my home screen as minimalist as possible.

It should have been fixed in beta. There's no reason to bring something out of beta if there are glaring bugs and lack of features. Especially with a $10 price tag. They should have just had an open beta instead of charging people to participate. I mean Kickstarter.

I use it, I love it, doesn't affect my battery doesnt slow the tablet down(only full storage seems to do that). Ten bucks for something that you have the potential to use for the entire time you use android is not much when looked that way.
To the other guy wondering why they went on kickstarter first then just to sell it later. Let me explain people need food, drink, and a place to stay and or work. So kickstarter to fund the app and be able to pay people to work on it. I didn't have to rebuy it or anything, so
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

I got it earlier this morning and it's pretty nice, I dunno if I'll use it as my daily for a while though. I really wish it could use other widgets though... And they better not charge for new ones.

I keep my home screens bare or to a minimum for this very reason.
But the location thing is cool I guess for people who need something like that.
Personally, I'll pass... $10 is way too much foe an app like this, IMHO.
Sent from my ADR3010 using Tapatalk 2

The developers probably got rich off he funding from kick starter and re now recouping their actual costs trough the ridiculously high play store price. I don't see the Point of such a radical launcher departure. The novelty will soon we're off.

it's a neat idea, but let's be honest, no one's gonna use that changing homescreen feature. And it doesn't auto change, a popup comes up and asks u if you want to change homescreen. Kinda defeats the purpose, especially when it's only a swipe away.

True. It isn't as great as stock, but could be useful

I wonder if any developers here on xda with HTML skills be interested in converting existing apps into Widgets for this. Like a chameleon dedication thread of popular apps with API converted to be compatible with this launcher.

Pebble Smart Watch SDK APPS....

Now that the backers are getting there smart watches I was thinking there should be a thread were to get apps and the sdk available to other users.
I would love to see KIK Messenger working and more clock faces to choose from.

+1 for more watch faces.
Would it be possible to create an app that used a bluetooth headset as well to enable voice control w/ Google Now?

I can't read Hebrew the font used is not unicode. Does anybody have any idea how to change it?

It is not possible to read any other alphabet other than the latin for now (I have the same problem with greek). I saw an app today made by a chinese or korean user (not sure) that pushed a translated message to the watch. Of course it used some data trafic to translate it via internet but it is a very good idea. I was wondering if there could be an app that automatically changed the greek characters to latin ones, the way they appear on a computer keyboard and then push the text/e-mail to the watch. Sadly, I have no idea of programming. If anyone knows how to do it, please do!

How's the shipping situation on these looking? Like if I order one today what's the ETA?

The kickstarter backer watches didn't arrive in germany yet.
New orders will likely take some time

Hope it will get to the Netherlands soon....

Mine is finally here. Amazing! I also have the Sony smartwatch. The Pebble is much better and easier to use. Pebble Notifier for Android is amazingly easy to use and all my wanted notification come to the watch now including Whatsapp and Chess Player.
Also loving the music remote function of the watch. Once selected it remains onscreen so changing a track can be done without looking at the watch.
I hope for the SDK more watch faces. I would like one with time, date and the current weather. I do hope that the coming apps for the watch works as the music remote app. I don't prefer a notificationcentre or something like that. The watch should remain simple.

i like this !!

Glance is nice but I prefer the Pebbler app on my android and the 91 Weather watch face. Great weather and info on the watch and seems to stay connected better than glance for me.

They sent me a free Pebble to play with. They have Plenty of Watchfaces at Pebble's Forums, you could check them out. +1 To the idea of having a thread seperate for all the Watchapps and Watchfaces.
Edit:
1- https://notesforpebble.com/ - This is a Notes App. You can Password protect all the notes. However, To save more than one note, you will need to buy it. A Nice App to Check out.
2- Google 'Keep for Pebble'. It needs a rooted Android, and it syncs All your google keep notes to your watch. An option if you don't want to pay for the one above but this one needs active bluetooth connection to view the notes while the first one does not require any bluetooth connection after installing.
And the Third and Final App(A Game Actually)- Koishiban! (Sukoban For Pebble). Check it out here (Still in Beta Stage so you will have to sugn up for testing on google+ which is free- http://forums.getpebble.com/discussion/6973/watch-app-android-beta-koishiban-sokoban-for-pebble-looking-for-beta-testers

Canvas is my favorite app, easy and powerful way to make custom watch faces. Right now my pebble displays the weather conditions & temperature with a dynamic icon as long as an animated row of missed calls, sms, & emails plus the battery percentage of my phone. oh yeah and the date&time
Canvas makes it super easy to do this.

Weather App for N6

Bright Weather is not available to load in the Play store...guess N6 DPI prohibits. So what weather apps are your favorite and are available on N6? Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app

I just installed eweather HD. Seems cool. Uses NOAA for results.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I am a weather nut have several apps installed:
AccuWeather
Yahoo Weather
Arcus
NOAA Hi Def Radar
RadarScope

Take a look at weather timeline. Its UI is sharp. However the radar is a weak point. I personally still use WeatherBug elite as its the most accurate for my area, but it is no longer available nor supported.

Check out atmosHere. I don't see it mentioned often but I've been using it forever. It's been accurate, reliable, and has a lot of features.

I personally use HD Widgets and Yahoo Weather.
Mainly HD Widgets is enough for me.

1Weather......

So you don't use Google now?

I like YoWindow because it has live weather wallpaper. I also use chronus and zooper, plus I have Google Now weather card active in my launcher.

Be careful with that one. It doesn't work with a lot of custom ROMs. Even though I've purchased it from the play store, half the custom ROMs I've used have tripped the anti-piracy detection. It'll keep saying that I don't have a legit copy even though I purchased and downloaded it from google play.
The developer also has no interest in helping me get it working, either.

Well that sucks. I haven't run into any issues but that would be frustrating. Maybe I'll check out some other weather apps. I haven't looked at them in a long time.

I just use google weather & news

I've been using Weather Timeline, it's relativity new but is inspired by material design so it fits in with Lollipop. I do like that I can look forward or backward to any date I choose and get weather data.

WeatherBug Elite. Nice App & widgets.
Also, Arcus.
Check 'em out.

Oh ... i just put my hand outside my window and get to know the weather in detail.
works well . no issues so far. highly recommended.
try it now in a playstore near you!
