[Galaxy Note 10.1 Themes and Apps] marmaduk9:
I crosspost that from my post in another thread where google brings me before but but because it is about galaxy 10.1 I posted here. So GT-8020 office experience without external keyboard (but even with keyboard there is no help with big files.

Task

I tried pretty much every office application (hancom I can not get to work due to android version) for very simple task : Select all, copy and then paste to another application (s note) from clipboard and gues what?

None of them can copy large document text. Either they do not have select all comand at all (you must select text by hand) or app crash when text is to long , or copy but not all selected text.

All applications lags very badlly and becomes unusable if you try select by hand too much pages except polaris which is the best in that regard but lacks in clip size and kingsoft. Textmaker is good but have small clip too.

All that said kingsoft manage to grab biggest quantity of selected text but sometimes nothing shows in clipboard. Device is galaxy note 10.1 lte 8020.

Rant bla bla

This renders for me android as unusable platform, gimmick plarform even for simple office task :select all copy paste.

Since now there is a choice of cheaper win8 wacom tablets this is hello goodby and never again from me to samsung and android .

This OS is clearlly only good for phones, not for even low level computing tablets.

I feel cheated because it seems to work all very well for small files but anything bigger than few pages sucks big time.

Note is badly overpriced for such small productivity and this office suites are pure joke , Document which I tried to copy in s note have 170 pages of text and I need even bigger texts.

I am verry dissapointed for that kind of money.

For cheap phone that woul be super but not for expensive tablet.

Somebody asks me what I do with such large files.

Whay all that

Scripted law books for learning, so I can anotate , insert my typed text, recorded lectures, higlight text and insert handwriten notes.

I was thinking that such lightweigt office task would be easy for lynux based android and in return I will have 4g, phone,gps navigation, solid camera with flash for making pdf from books on the fly, hdmi out, and wacom active digitizer in light cheaper than win active digitizer tablet, and with better battery life device.

Seams good from marketing materials and reviews but alas big docs are to heavy for office applications and s note, clipboard is small.

I do not get it four cores cpu , 2 gb of ram, graphic chip and still to weak for office computing with big docs.I think that problem is in office applications not hardware?

In mean time asus vivitab and similar win tablets became cheaper and have a wacom digitizer.

Rant again

I was thinking that for such limited tasks android and hardware would be sufficiant from all informations I gathered and I have only text documents with no graphics.

Now it looks to me that 10 inch tablet is only for ligt notetaking and not for any serious work, even limited as mine, I do not get it who would than need 12 inch pro android tablets?

For few pages documents maybe?

Btw open office port loks nice but nothing shows in clipboard after copy at all so no go for me either.

Looks like vivotab and win8 with office onenote is answer for my needs. If I find another sucker, after selling galaxy it will left me with money for phone, so two devices instead one and problem solved.

Main idea was to have one notebook, one bookreader with annotations etc., and no more sitting all day in front off pc or burning in bed with laptop.

Simple select all with tap or pen , copy and paste from clipboard in another app, did not looking to me like heavy computing now it does but only for android. Marketing shows android and galaxy like great productivity tool.

Limited but good in that particular tasks. No fidlling no viruses take it grab notes annotate books and scripts insert something from web etc. but alas.

With any bigger docs it is simple toy, nothing else.

Conclusion

Problem is evident with all office packages and with all notetaking applications so far best pair from what I tried is Kingsoft Office and S note. But s note opens document so sloooow and than save document so slooow that there is no use from all that trouble
