Do you have recommendations for notes app that has offline mode and cloud syncing?
I used Catch in the past, but it's been discontinued 
So far, I tried :
- Evernote : it doesn't have offline mode unless you pay subscription. The free version doesn't allow you to take the notebook offline.
- Google Drive : it's good, but the offline mode sucks. It always try to get the online version first, until timeout then ask you for using the offline copy.
- Google Keep : it's good, but the notes organization sucks, there is none. I need to have folder OR be able to make category.
- ColorNotes : same as Google Keep.
Well, generally the Google Drive solution is OK, but now I am only holiday with limited, unreliable, slow, mobile internet. You don't want to use Google Drive in this situation.
I don't mind paying for app, but I found Evernote subscription is a bit too much for my usage.
Too bad, Catch was perfect
Thanks

Did a quick search in play store for "notes offline" and discovered this.

Don't know if anyone knows about this but it's fantastic, I can print from my Xoom straight to my printer via desktop pc
This is very flexible, the app is called cloud print and you need google chrome, I can now print my reports written on ThinkFree from Chrome,
fantastic!!
It works natively with any HP network printer (I have one) and you can also print straight from Google docs (drive). Really nice to have, but I haven't had a need for it yet.

Since my MacBook went to sh*t I have been limited to my Xoom for doing everything and let me say that Cloud Print has saved my life.
I got a great new job, went through the whole process from cover letter and resume to interview and everything just using the Xoom, Google Docs and Cloud Print.
It works VERY well!

Is it this one? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pauloslf.cloudprint
(Just that it's not "owned" by Google, so I don't want to give that much permission to an app from a random).
Cheers.

It is built into Google Docs. Choose the web view of your document to get to the print option. Make sure you have set your printer up.
You don't need an app. This is not Apple.

What service/provider of cloud type storage do most people here use? Any good recommendations?

Personally I use Google Drive + Google Music for my tunes. Frankly the integration makes it a no brainer to me. That isn't to say it would be best for everyone but for my uses it's perfect. However most people will tell you to sign up for all of them and use them all then pick one. After all you can never have too much free cloud storage. And that will allow you to try them before you go Premium, if in fact that is something you were considering. I know Dropbox is great too. Cubby invites were all the rage here lately but I have never tried it. There's a thread. It would probably help you get better recommendations if you told us what you plan on using the service for.
i use Dropbox.. got over 100+Gigs because i have a GS3 + One X and a few other reasons.. i also use Google Drive + Google Music and all other Google cloud features
New accounts only get 2GB of space tho
currently i use google drive and dropbox. i think the free space on those services will increase in the future because there is a lot of competition
Google Drive
Dropbox
Amazon Cloud
I use them all, but 4share is my preferred one.

I have Dropbox (4GB), Ubuntu 1(5GB), Google Storage for Developers (100GB) and Skydrive(25GB).
I know that's a lot of them, so I use SMEStorage to manage 'em together, well except for Dropbox and Ubuntu1

This :good:
Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, SkyDrive ......
It depends what you need, for pure file storage dropbox or google drive are probably the best.
If you are looking to stream media from a cloud then I am not sure what is best here. Anyone have any suggestions for streaming media (files that I own already rather than other options)
i use:
dropbox
skydrive
box
sugarsync
cubby
google drive/gmail
they're unique in their own way, but generally similar; free with paid extras. i have about 115GB+ of free online storage, so no need for any paid versions. i suggest try a few out and see which service suits your needs best.
I use Wuala. I think it's reasonably priced and there's a bonus that everything's encrypted!
Thanks everyone! What I would like to do is stream home pictures and videos. Any of these good for this?

I like the idea of my data being on my own systems. As a result, I set up ownCloud on my Linux server in my basement (tho I believe a Windows variant exists). With the help of DDNS which provides me with a URL, along with some port forwarding, I basically have my own web address I can access from anywhere and log in to my ownCloud server. You are limited only by your hard drive space. I'm currently rockin a 300GB personal cloud server. I'll be looking at 6TB once I get my new drives in for the RAID 5 array I plan to set up.
On the same server I also have Subsonic running. I paid the couple bucks donation fee (10 to 15 or so) to unlock the full mobile license with the mobile app for Android, iOS, etc. There again, using my DDNS URL I tied Subsonic's Android app into my server at home. I can now stream all of my media straight from my box at home.
In short:
For music and media - Subsonic
For everything else - ownCloud
The future plan: 6TB for personal cloud usage for music, pictures, videos, documents? Oh yes. :good: Even my current 300GB setup is significantly more than I would get with any free service elsewhere. I'll take it.
total win.
Another mod for subsonic for your own cloud media server.

I'm quite fond of Ubuntu One myself. I use it for auto-uploads of my pictures on my phone. Since Ubuntu is on all of my systems, once I fire up my laptop, desktop, whatever it auto syncs locally. Of course, Dropbox does this too, but U1 also gives me 5GB to boot. I assume Dropbox is still @ 2GB for starters?
I use Dropbox, Google Drive, Sugarsync, Ubuntu 1, Amazon MP3 and Google Play Music. All serve a purpose and all get used. 16GB is not enough. Cloud storage is critical for me. Ubuntu 1, Dropbox and Play Music are the best imo.

So I've got my 25$ credit burning a hole in my Google wallet, I've long ago spent my money on the paid versions of the apps I want and to the devs I want to support.
Since the time Google maps/navigation became nearly perfect I've always used that, now I have this amazing tablet that would make an amazing GPS! Just I'd like to have offline maps as it would be nice not to always tether it or per pick out my route in advance
I looked into copilot but not sure how good it is, mixed reviews not to mention like 4 different versions of nearly the same app on the market. Any one bothered much with offline GPS? Any recommendations?

I see its only a free trial in market, how much is the full maps for US? And is the only option to pay directly to sygic.com or can the full version be purchased via the app itself?

USA version cost $29.48 (at today's euro exchange rate) and can only be purchased via their website. This may suggest you may need to pay for each android device you intend to install this software. Maybe someone who already purchased this can chime in.

It seems the license can be bound only to one device at time. Look here:
https://support.sygic.com/sygic/topics/can_i_use_one_license_on_multiple_devices
However, you have up to 5 license transfers for free, look here:

Sygic is very good. A couple of years ago when I first purchased it was a little lacking but now it's awesome.

Going away this weekend and I want to save directions on Google maps to Evernote on my Nexus, when I had my laptop I just copied and pasted the directions into Evernote from maps and that was fine, but I tried to copy and paste from Maps to Evernote and it's not giving me the option, tried to make maps available offline but it can't seem to include the directions, and unless I find free wifi I won't have Internet, anyone any ideas?

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.

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

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 ...
