Known Issues

We're always working to resolve issues that come up in Quickoffice. If your problem is listed below, we're aware of the issue and working to fix it as soon as possible. Any status information that is available will be posted here.

Quickoffice for iOS: Entering accented characters with a bluetooth keyboard moves the cursor

You'll encounter this issue when you use a keyboard shortcut to enter an accented character with a bluetooth keyboard. Examples: CMD+e, CMD+`, CMD+u, etc.

We're currently working on this issue, and expect it to be resolved in an upcoming release. Thank you for your patience.

Note: If you're using an out-of-date version of Quickoffice, you may experience a crash instead of unexpected cursor movements. Please update to the latest version of Quickoffice to avoid this issue.

Quickoffice for Android: Cannot access or save files located on a removable sdcard

You'll encouter this issue if your device manufacturer has restricted write access to the removable sdcard. Known Manufacturers: Toshiba.

Because your device manufacturer has restricted write access to this storage location, Quickoffice will not be able to save or modify files stored here. Store your files in a cloud account (like Google Drive) or in your device's internal storage to avoid this issue.

Delay between entering text and text appearing on screen

This is a known issue that we are currently working to improve. This issue can be made worse by other applications running in the background, unsupported features in your file, large file size and using a bluetooth keyboard.

To reduce the appearance of this issue:

  • Reduce your the file size
    • Save as a docx, xlsx, or pptx file from a computer
    • Use lower resolution images
    • Remove unsupported content (like macros, pivot tables, smart art & embedded audio or video)
  • Close background applications
    • iOS devices: double touch the home button to open a list of currently running applications. Touch & hold an app icon, then touch the red minus button to close.
    • Android 3.X + devices: Touch the task manager button on your device & swipe apps to close.
  • Use the on-screen keyboard

Quickoffice for iOS: Keyboard switches from ABC to 123 when the spacebar is touched

This is a known issue that we are currently working to improve. To minimize this issue, format the cells that you would like to enter text in as "General". You will still have to change the keyboard after entering a space occasionally, but this will be greatly reduced.
