And it also refuses to open an uploaded file in the Android browser (Galaxy S2, 
Android 2.3.4)

I should have read a bit further back :)

Google docs doesn't recognize .tex as a file type, so if you rename it to .txt 
and upload, it will be available in latex-lab.

I am heavy user of Latex (locally) Now I am reading this thread... I have to 
search for "Cannot open .tex file in latexlab" because I tried for an hour to 
open a very simple .tex file. What the hell... ???!!!??? I would never think 
about that a latex engine cannot recognize a .tex file....

This is annoying and makes me angry about my wasted time.

Just had renamed my file into ...tex Cannot open. How can I open a file to work 
in latex lab? That's funny.
