BBC news app - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
Is there a setting to get this app to rotate? It always forces portrait for me yet in the market it shows a landscape view.
Cheers, Paul

Hi all
Managed to find the answer, apparently there are two version of the app available, a mobile version which installs by default on the nexus 7 & also a tablet optimised version.
I found the apk for the tablet version & also found the reason why it isn't normally installed on the nexus 7, it's too big!
Cheers, Paul

Nexus 7 Apps Question

Hey all,
Simple questions about apps on the Nexus 7. I also have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 and have noticed that the same apps I am downloading on the Nexus 7 are different interfaces. Is the Nexus 7 using the phone version of apps? and is there a way to get the tablet version of the apps on the Nexus?
Thanks!
Hybrid. Some apps will use the tablet layout, like YouTube and Gmail, but others will use the phone layout. Thus why it has a hybrid home screen...

Kingsoft and quick office not compatible

Hey all
In my play store my kingsoft office and quick office etc show up as not compatible. This was after I flashed paranoid android 2.12. Can someone please help? I need my office apps to work.
Don't have enough posts to directly post in developer thread so kindly help.

Im guessing something to do with your dpi settings, change the playstore dpi to stock 213 or 160, and you shouldn't have compatibility issues with them apps, kingsoft works great for me

Thanks a ton bro. That actually worked. I was at dpi300 and 800x. Once I was back in Stock a lot of apps became accessible.
Problem solved

I use Polaris Office on my Galaxy Note 1 and would like it on the Nexus 10.
Has anyone got it running on the Nexus 10 and if so can you post the link where you downloaded it from?
Many thanks.

Not for me
When I attempt to create a new word doc the system tells me that the app has stopped responding/working.
I'm running the latest version of cleanrom
Thanks

I've tried the one from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1940197
when installed as user app it opened but force closed when opening document and as system app it seemed to be opening and then just close and go back to app drawer
maybe there's something in the build.prop that has to do with it? I prefer the 4 version but didn't manage to get the 3 to work either
I've tried other office apps but as for now, Polaris is the best one I've used... Kingsoft is very slow and others I've tried didn't have good support for RTL languages which is a must for me
really want to get it to work :\

News and Weather Genie not stock ?

My Brother just picked up the Nexus 7 with 4G. He's an iPhone guy switching over slowly.
Anyways, he asked me for some good Widgets. I said an Android classic is the "News and Weather" genie widget. He said that's not on this tablet. I told him to look under apps, for News and Weather, and sane under the Widget tab. He said nope, not there.
Did Google remove that classic Widget ?

Anyone ?
I don't own the Nexus 7 myself. Just a Galaxy Nexus, and a Note 2 running CM10.1 and the "News and Weather" genie widget is standard.
Is it not installed on the Nexus 7 ?

Nope not installed on the nexus 7. I read somewhere on here Google does not support it any more or something like that?
I've tried to side load the apk file to my n7 many times with no success.
However I am running clean ROM inheritance 3.2 and it comes with the ROM.
I am new to all this stuff. This is what I don't understand, the app is listed as transperent. It does not show up in titanium backup and I can't find it with root explorer.
I have no idea what is going on with this app.
I hope someone can clear this up

Office mobile

All, hey. I see Microsoft finally blessed us with some free office. Working good on my HTC one but not available on play store with n7? What's up with that? Is it possible to get this on the n7?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It works (as far as I can tell), just find the apk and send it via Bluetooth to your tab and install.
Yes, it works! Use "app backup and restore" to grab the apk file from your phone and use that to install it on your n7.

Any link to download Microsoft office for n7?

You can use the App Market Helper to make the playstore think your tablet is a phone, I just checked and Office Mobile app shows up on my tablet.

Yep. It works. Makes you wonder... Why not just put on play store if it works this good? I heard they might make a special section in the store just for n7. Hope to see that one day
Thanks all

I'll give office a try but I have Office Suite Pro 7 and it works awesome and has for a few years. Millions of downloads and it gets given away from time to time too. http://www.androidauthority.com/officesuite-pro-7-review-197648/

This, I've had office suite pro for a while now and haven't had any complaints.
When I browse office mobile page in playstore, it says only compatible with Nexus 4. Says, not compatible with kindle hd and nexus 7. Same thing for Amex mobile. May be i can extract the apk of amex mobile from my nexus 4 and see if it works with my nexus 7.
+1 for office suite pro
Kingston and Quick Office are my favorites.

Why MS is not porting Office to Android tablet devices ? They just do it on iPad ...
