HP wireless print app or similar - Nexus 7 Themes and Apps

The HP wireless printer app for nexus 7 seems to be buggy. It will print photos occassionaly but not documents. It shows the file says rendering but then just goes back to the screen with menu icons.
Similarly if I share a document with the app it does the same thing instead of printing it like it should.
Its always worked great with my gs2 skyrocket with stock gingerbread. Any solutions? Any better wireless printer apps that will work with a new HP printer?

You can also beam Contacts you're looking at
I think you can do pictures/videos but I've yet to try
I heard you can beam Scottie up. True Story.

gallery images & videos won't transfer via Android Beam.. you can launch apps & games provided that it is installed.. if it's not installed on the other device it opens up the market link to it.. map locations can also be beamed..
i also just noticed that paypal has an NFC widget for easy money transfers.
Anything with the blue nfc app from the market

Blue NFC is a very very nice app, I will try it with my galaxy nexus and my friend nexus s
tested here with an GN and Nexus S, getting always receiption error ...
looking fine, BT starts on both devices, transfer file, closes BT on both devices,
but error receiption on target device.
normal BT transfer tested and working fine.
will try on 2 GN to see if that works.
I don't know anyone with a GN so can't test

Anybody know a good epub reader with an excellent interface?

I had moon reader but tried mantano recently. Both of them are good but i find mantano is very well polished. Try both of them and see what suits your taste.

Moon+ Reader has excellent page flip. Like IPad. Have to turn it on though. See options.
Aldiko is one of the best ebook reader on the play store. It doesn't have a page turn animation(just slides).
Another good reader is kindle, if you take the epub file and covert it to mobi using zamzar, then put it in the kindle folder.
I like Mantano reader. It's good for epub and PDF.
Fb reader has a lot of options

The new Aldiko UI is beautiful, but no page flipping.
Aldiko is what my GF swears by although I did notice FB reader today that has got screen lock

I think the nook app does epub exceptionally, just save the epubs in sdcard/nook/mydocuments really nice reader app and not limited to their store
And very nice page flip.

Mantano is current best for epub, works great with PDF too.

Mantano ( I have the premium version) is good for epubs. Not sure about the animations cause I never use them if it has it I would have turned it off in the initial setup and never looked back. It looks very nice and polished. Alot of sorting and viewing options for the bookshelf/ library area. You can tag books and also create collections and even sub-collections (which I LOVE :victory.
Moon+ reader is also nice. My pet peeve there is that you can't sort by date, like sort it so I see the most recently added 1st which kinda annoys me . The premium version says that it allows you to password protect the app itself. I guess that comes in handy if you are reading some questionable/embarrassing things

You should, with the latest update the page turn animation with epub files is just butter, slick and real.
Not sure if there is one for pdfs
I've tried all the readers mentioned and have bought a few, but my current favorite is moon+. its the visually most appealing, and I love its dropbox support for synced books. I also like that it gives number of pages left in chapters.

Aldiko, but like everyone else said, there isn't a page flip animation.
OK back and found a good reader called moon+reader it has loads of nice options and page turning. I am using the free version but you can also pay for a pro version.

My vote would be aldiko. I don't even like to read the books I've purchased from B&N using the nook app, aldiko there also

Just bought Mantano here, I've tried them all and this is the nicest one I've used, its fast to load, loads all the book covers quickly and it has night mode and nice cataloging features to group your books, all the rest just didn't feel right to me, thanks for the mention of Mantano as I didn't know about till this post

I tried all of the readers suggested here and none of them have a 3D page flip animation?
Is there a way to use the Google Books app to read epub files?
Moon reader has the 3d page flipping animation, at least that is what I see in the pro version.

Winows 8 on your Tablet (Jump Desktop)

Jump Desktop looks very promising for a Windows 8 remote desktop. It will allow for you to essentially use the Metro UI from your desktop as if it were installed on your tablet.
Jump Desktop is not updated for Android just yet, but it is coming soon.
Obviously this it running on iOS but it definitely looks promising.
Very cool. Hope it comes soon.

That last looks really really good. Thanks for the share.

should be here shortly with all the amazing people here at xda!!
Jump Desktop is working on Android...I'm using it on my Nexus 7 and my Sony VAIO laptop running Windows 7 Home Premium.
Works a treat with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse connected to the Nexus
I'm am also just trying Pocketcloud instead.... Jump Desktop is slightly laggy...but it might be my connection....
Is this better than Splashtop 2?
It need to come ?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
I have Jump Desktop and it's not very usable. It refreshes every 5 seconds which is too slow.
I'm a firm believer in Jump Desktop. I use remote desktop often and this is the best I've found. Really designed for tablets in mind.

Jump Desktop 4.0 is currently what is in the app store 5.0 will be the nice update seen in the video.
The 5.0 update adds touch support for Win8. You can essentially use the start menu as if it were Windows RT on the tablet rather than fussing with an annoying mouse cursor on a touch screen.
I haven't seen other remote desktops going that route. It is a new feature for W8 to be able to do this so the others may implement this later as well.
Jump Desktop has just been updated to version 5.0 with full Windows 8 support. I'm using it as we speak.....
going to test this it sounds awesome...

Just bought it and installed. Hands down best rdp app out there! The best thing is that it is not a CPU hog on the PC. Splashtop would max out my old dual core but this program runs at like 40% anyone know why?

File sharing between android devices

Hi
Yesterday I have come across a beautiful app called SperBeam which is used for file sharing between android apps.
I am able to transfer 1GB data from my s3 to asus transformer infinity tablet in 6 minutes. Thats awsome.
This software uses wifi if it is available, or else wifidirect technology.

Printing from Optimus G?

Used to be able to print to my networked (IP) printer from my HTC Evo LTE 4g. Guess that feature was built into Sense. What's really disappointing is not being able to print from my OG...unless I'm missing something here or just haven't found the feature. I'm sure there's an app but built in was nice. If I need an app...any suggestions?

What model printer? HPs have a wireless printing app that will allow you to do this.
All my printers are newer LaserJet HP's. Might need to try the app. I just liked the convenience of being able to print to any tcp/ip printer on my lan with little setup. Suprised it's not a built in feature in Android yet. That was about the only thing HTC got right with that phone.
