HTC EVO 4G :: New To Android - Is It Good For Business Use?
May 28, 2010
Considering (heavily!) the Evo but the boss just asked me how well it handles things like pdf's and .doc's and such. We're coming over from blackberries and I'm having trouble finding anything definitive about whether the Evo (or android in general) can handle those things natively. I see that there are apps that do it but come with mixed reviews. Just wondering what your experiences and/or expectations are.

I travel on the road a lot for work, and traveling expenses are probably my largest tax write-off. Yet, I've been unable to find a nice app in the marketplace that allows me to simply input my starting odometer and my ending odometer when I get home, and arrive at a simple calculation as to how many miles I traveled on that particular trip and what my approximate tax write-off would be.
On the Iphone, I used to use an app called "MileBug". It was great. Sadly I haven't been able to find anything that compares to that app in android. Do any of you know of a good app for such a purpose? I'm not interested in the plethora of apps available to monitor my gas mileage or my MPG. I just want a simple application that allows me to quickly record my miles traveled per trip.

Would be interesting to know what applications you use at work. In Sweden, we can not get pay apps yet so it must be "free"

New to android..been using WM 6.1 sync with outlook obviously seemless. Need the same type of functionality but it doesn't have to be with outlook. Looking for options to use for business. Being a small company I can go anyway I want, don't have any restrictions other than need to sync all with phone, laptop and desktop. Beginning to travel more so contact, calendar and task must sync (notes and a Today front end would be nice). I have tried Dejaoffice but I end up with 2 sets of contacts and calendars (Samsung and Dejaoffice) not to mention that the UI is lame (had just as good 15 years ago with Instant Recall). Don't mind rooting the phone if needed. So what options exist in the open source world? Love my captivate phone but need to be able to do business to keep it. Anxious to hear how the rest of the Android world does it.

I've just become the proud owner of a lovely Sony Ericsson x10 mini! Love the phone but today my mate text me wanting a contact sent to him. No problem I thought, i'll send a business card. No I won't because I can't! No worries I thought i'll search google for an app, heard of an app called ciacs contact sender. Can't find it on the android market so any ideas where I go now?

My company is going to be switching to Gmail for work. I will thus have a work and personal Gmail account. On Android, will I be able to run two instances of the Gmail app, one for work and one for personal?
I don't want to run one through the standard mail program because I don't want to lose the gmail features like Conversations.

I would like to know what I have to do in order to have the Business Card Sample in SDK 3 (android 1.5), because it uses some stuff that does not compile in android 1.5, example: - if (sdkVersion < Build.VERSION_CODES.ECLAIR)... -import android.provider.ContactsContract.Contacts; -import android.provider.ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone; What is the best way to have the application compiling in eclipse and be able to run in android 2.0 and 1.5?

I am looking for a business card scanner app.I know there are a ton on the market but i can not find one that gives me the option to add the cards to a database.I would like to be able to have the cards added to the database and then be able to open the database and search by company or name ect.If there was an option to add to contacts that would be ok as well.Point is i have probably 1000 business cards and do not want them in my contacts even if i make a trash group it is just not worth the effort.

Just wondered if anybody here has fully committed their business (or works for a company that has) to the Premium Edition of Google Apps. If so can you give me any feedback on any real world issues that it has. Specifically I'm wondering how well it integrates with MS Office products. For example I receive a lot of Excel documents with embedded photos and .pdf files and will need to access and amend them. Similarly most of my customers use Excel and will need to be able to open a spreadsheet created by me in the Google system? Also can I migrate existing documents into Apps? I know these are fairly basic requirements and I would be surprised if Google haven't covered them, but are there any other issues that I need to consider before committing to the Gcloud?

just posting something I found out about last night while at the mall. seems that malls have been doing poorly during the holidays due to a large company who's first letter start W and ends in fart er I mean mart. even poor Santa who has to listen to the spoiled next generation while they relieve themselves on his pant leg had to pay daily rent to be in the mall. when I asked a few people about their kiosk rent, you know the little hut in the middle of the hallway, they said that the rent went from 1200/month to 4500 for the month of December. it's not a typo So maybe they gift we give this year could be a gift to ourselves by avoiding the 500+lbs wal****T women, screaming kids cranked out on octobers candy,and self checkout systems that freak when you put down your item too hard [COMPUTER VOICE] "[REMOVE ITEM FROM BAGGING AREA OR SECURITY WILL BE ACTIVATED]" [ CUE: Arnold Schwarzenegger from terminator] lets go to those malls and the $4,500 kiosk. don't forget to drink a 44oz and sit on Santas lap I would like some cheese with my whine sir.

I just got a Moto Droid for business use. If I can't find a workable travel expense app I may have to return it and find something else The biggest problem I'm having in finding what I need is that everything I've tried so far assumes that all expenses will occur in a single currency. Many offer "multiple currencies," but that just means that all expenses are tracked in dollars or euros or pounds, etc. What I need is the ability to enter an expense for a meal purchased in dollars at the airport in Atlanta, and then the next day enter a meal purchased in euros in Paris. I need to be able to have the euro expenses tracked in euros for the same report as expenses tracked in dollars. And I need to be able to record expenses in at least 4 or 5 currencies per report.

I have people listed in my contacts with ocupations like "Doctor", "Dentist", etc, under "Job Title" and contact listed as working for "State Farm", "Hooters", etc under Organization.
No matter what I do, the phone will not locate these people if I use people search, or just the regular search when using those parameters.

I have just bought an HTC Desire but i cant make the sync with HTC sync work. After af search of approximatitely 15 seconds a popup on the phone says that it can't find HTC sync on the computer. The USB connection works fine for file sharing. In my hardware monitor (dont know the english word for the window, but that in Control Panel -> System ->??? where you can see all attached devieces) i see a deveice called "My HTC" with a yellow exclamation triangle. I suspect the problem is here, but dont know has to solve it. The HTC sync has all button disabled so i cannot access the "Repair tool" i think there is in the sync manager.
- Disable all firewall(none), antivirus (Norton) and Spyware protection (AdAware) before installing HTC sync.
- Used "Run" -> "msconfig" to disable all non-MS processes and remove all starting app. Then restarted the computer and reinstalled (suggest to HTC to another user)..........

I'm coming from a Windows Mobile 6.5 phone to the Incredible. My old phone allowed me to sync all of the contacts from my Microsoft Business Contact Manager on my PC to the phone. There was an add-on for Office 2007. I would love to be able to do the same with my new phone.

I'm looking to see if I can get any good advice on a replacement phone for my work. The droid is my personal phone and I am up for a new device for my business phone. I have Verizon for my business phone as well and we are on a corporate plan. So the carrier has to be big V. I would try an android phone (other than the droid...I don't want two of them ) but I don't know how well android integrates with the Windows server for syncing contacts, calendar, outlook, etc. Any suggestions on phones currently out or coming out in the next month or two? Can have a physical keyboard or a decent touchscreen keyboard. I don't care as long as it works better than my HTC Touch did. Once I got my Droid. The resistive screen just didn't work for me anymore.

Is it possible to send all contacts in an HTC Desire as business cards to another Bluetooth device (particularly the Bluetooth phone system in a car)?
I've got an older car with a fairly basic Bluetooth system. It won't download the phone's phonebook automatically but I can put it into receive mode and then I need to work out a way to send all my contacts as business cars.

Why does SPRINT continue to publish EVO ads?
The phone�s great features and the clever way SPRINT introduced EVO to the US market have resulted in tremendous demand for the phone.
The EVO remains sold out at stores throughout the United States. There are long wait lists.
Yet SPRINT keeps advertising EVO with full page ads in major printed media and frequent TV spots.
Is there a business or other benefit of doing so?

know of a business card reader that will import directly into Moxier Contacts? I've tried out a few and while most will read into the phone contacts list just fine, I want it to dump into Moxier and everyone I've tried so far won't do that.

Got a X10 Mini last week and love it to bits.How the heck does one send a contact as a business card? Also does not seem to receive any business cards sent to the phone from other phones. Please don't tell me that it can't do this.Another question: How does one send a text message (sms) to multiple recipients?And a last one: It appears that it does not keep any record of sent text messages, so one cannot go back and check which messages one sent - ridiculous!
