copy & Paste on Note 2 - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi i am trying to do copy and paste on my galaxy note2 but it seems that i cant do that.. can someone help.. is there a trick to it???

Hold finger over a word, it will select it. The option to copy/cut it will appear above.
Btw if youre trying to select text on facebook sadly it wont work

If you mean by using the S Pen as demonstrated in the guide I can't do that either. I use the technique mentioned above, either with my finger or the S Pen.

not able to copy and paste message from email

same here, it seems to have that cursor to select the words, but when i scroll down to try to select the rest of the copy, it cant be done.
does anyone know how to copy message in email? i dont want to select it as picture like how you can select from the S Pen.
pls help!
thanks!

Mine works fine using the same methods, strange you cant do the same
For email its the same, well using the gmail app it is. The only thing different is the copy menu appears at the bottom on email.

I encountered the same problem using the Maxthon browser, but when I tried the native browser that comes with the Note2, the copy and paste with the pen works! (that's a relief!). This was in an edit content window in my web site's custom CMS.
It's a bit cumbersome but I hope it will get easier with practice.

[Q] Select Copy/Paste text (similar to Galaxy S or iPhone iOS)

One wish for my Desire...
someone can tell me where I can find apk or something similar to add this useful tool to my Desire? It is like the iPhone...
I don't find anything in the market...
Copy/Paste is a built-in feature: select some text, e.g. in a textbox or webpage, click it and hold your finger there for a little while and then a context menu should pop up letting you copy the selection. Next, inside any textbox where you can type manually, click into it and hold your finger there to bring up another popup letting you paste your copied text.
Btw, this is the development forum. I dont think your question fits here.
I think he wants to not press and then select copy but like in the iphone just press in the text. Previous in 2.1 i managed to do this, but now on 2.2 i cant.
There's a free file manager in the Android market called AndExplorer. It's quite a good file manager. It even lets you look in the phone's folders. Copy and paste and all that jazz with this app.
I hope that's what you meant.

It's not. He meant (and said) he wants to copy/paste text, not files.
there is such function in Sence, in 2.2 too. If you want it, use 2.2 with Sence roms.

[Q] Help needed to change touchflo default programs...

I have an HTC Touchpro 2 with windows mobile. The touchflo bar at the botton of the HTC Sense homepage is nice with one exception...the inability to change default programs.
Let's start with the webbrowser for example. I do NOT like Opera. As a matter of fact I use Skyfire. Currently it's sitting in the PROGRAMS tab and then I have to choose the browser from there. I would like to set it up so that I can just go to the internet tab and hit the planet/web icon and it will launch skyfire instead of opera. Is this doable?
Then there are the bookmarks on the internet tab. I don't want this to be a political thread, so don't make it one. It comes programmed with CNN and ESPN on there. Well one, I do not like CNN and I'd much rather put FOX on there. Second, I don't much care for sports so I'd like to remove ESPN altogether. It would be nice if I could add my own bookmarks.
What about the other programs? Can I change the default calender? What about the text program? The text program is ok but when I am sending a message to 10 people, I dont like having to type in each number or go select each name one at a time. I'd like a text/multimedia program that will let me select multiple recipients.
I know this is a lot to ask but once you point me in the right direction, I'll get it. Thanks in advance for the help.

This website's search function is your friend. Instructions on how to make Skyfire the default browser in the Internet tab:

Cookies Home tab Editor (which requires Cookies Home Tab to be installed also) lets you change the applications launched from the Sense tabs (Messaging, Calendar, etc. but apparently not the Internet tab?). Its also an awesome way to customize the home tab, and well worth having on your phone.

If you don't want to make it a political thread, why not just say "I want to change the website shortcuts" ? You can want to change it from CNN to Bang Bros for all the heck we care.
Changing the website shortcuts in the Internet tab is simple. In the Internet tab, just touch Menu, remove the shortcut, then add the website of your choice.
Thanks.
Well, I guess that's a start. I was hoping to not have to install a different home screen or tabs slider, maybe I have the wrong idea about the Cookie app, I'll check it out.
Good point on the political part. I still honestly didn't want a political debate on my news choices but I could have gone with a different example. As for going into Opera and deleting the bookmarks and putting my own, that doesn't effect the pre-programmed bookmarks on the Internet touchflo tab. I think that removing those bookmarks will take some actual digging into the phone system files.
As for changing the default browser, yea, that part wasn't so hard. What I meant was that I wanted to open the internet touchflo tab and click the internet icon and have it open Skyfire instead of Opera, changing the default SYSTEM browser only affects what browser is used when opening hyperlinks from texts or emails.
Thank you for your suggestions though. They ARE greatly appreciated and I will check out the apps you suggested. As for the search function, I hate it because I can never get a narrowed set of results that apply directly to what I'm looking at. I'll try again though. Thanks again.
scratch that, I just looked at the first link you posted about the internet, I think that was PRECISELY what I was looking for. Thank you.

Yes, the CHT re-skins the home screen. It has awesome customizations, but it does use more program memory (some complain that it slows down the TP2 too much). So if you're on the fence, it might not be for you.

You aren't reading my post very carefully. I didn't tell you to delete the bookmarks in Opera. While in the INTERNET TAB, select menu, pick "Remove Favorite Shortcut", select "Done". Then select "Add Internet Shortcut" and pick the website of your choice. I haven't been using the stock ROM for a long time now, so it might be setup a bit different. But I don't think so, from my recollection.
Yea, I misunderstood. Sorry. That might be due to the fact that upon opening the Internet Tab, there is no menu button. Tapping and Holding on a bookmark does nothing (i.e. circle of dots...onscreen "right click" menu), and the soft keys only show Browser and Bookmarks. Browser is obvious. Bookmarks, well that lists two bookmarks that AREN'T the "permanent" bookmarks I was talking about.
But I should note that I have found the solution, kinda. If you search the phones system files (via computer) go to /application data/manilla/InternetPortal-en-us.xml then you can edit the default browser AND add/remove "permanent" links. Now I say I KINDA figured it out because unfortunately my .xml is write protected. Even if I right click and open the properties, uncheck "read only" it still remains write protected. If I create a new file, similarly named, the phone for some reason ignores the new .xml file and reads as if there is no .xml (provided that I remove the original, as I'd have to in order to make a new one)
So I'm about to try and figure out how to edit this .xml. I'll figure it out and when I do I'll post the solution on here. Wish me luck...I'm SOOOOOOOO close to getting this right.

Are those 2 links that you see under "Bookmarks" in the Internet tab the CNN and ESPN shortcuts, or something else?

If I remember properly, the trick the un-write protecting the Manila files, is to copy them (use Total Commander or similar, not the built-in File Explorer) to another directory. Then go Properties, uncheck Read Only, then copy back to the Manila directory to overwrite the old file. Save a version of the un-edited .xml file just in case you screw something up.
Yea, those two bookmarks are something else. Sites that I personally bookmarked IN Opera. I hit that softkey and it opens Opera and takes me to the bookmarks in the browser.
As for editing the file. I already messed it up. Copied to my desktop, edited that in notepad, and copied it OVER the existing file without thinking. As SOON as I started the copy I realized that I failed to make a backup. ****. Unfortunately, now my phone acts as if InternetPortal-en-us doesn't exist. It opens up my systems default browser (which IS skyfire) but the first screen isn't google like I specified in the XML, instead its an Error 404 type screen that says it can't find "\Search\\Home" or something like that. I also edited the permanent bookmarks, deleted youtube and espn, edited cnn to show fox. Now only 1 bookmark shows up...and it isn't Fox like you would hope...no, it's youtube.
I can't figure out how it defaults to youtube nor can I figure out why, with no programming errors or file-name errors, my phone believes that the file doesn't exist. I downloaded Total Commander and edited the properties of this file to read as READ-ONLY and SYSTEM but that didn't help either.
So, do you have any fix ideas? Yes, I know it's a good idea to make a backup, I typically do. I just got impulsive and reckless. Moved too fast.
I'm out of ideas. Personally, I don't use the Internet tab. In fact, I turned that tab off. My browser is one of the quicklinks on my home tab. It might just be easier to go that route.
If you want to return the Manila file to the way it was before, and don't mind losing your data, customizations, etc., a hard reset will restore the phone to factory condition. Go to Start>Settings>System>Empty Storage.
Well I thank you for your help thus far. I have been thinking about a hard reset but it really isn't worth it. I don't use the internet tab either because I use skyfire. So I'll either disable the tab or try one last thing. My father has the same phone. Service and model. I'll try copying the file from his phone and hopefully it works will with mine. I can't find anywhere on the web to download this file so this is my last logical resort.

[Q] Can not paste large typed note files from Clip-Tray

Guys,
Here's a problem that has me confused ~ With the exception of Evernote, no matter what Notes app I use if I open a large document file and select all the typed content then copy to the Clip-Tray, if I then go to any other notes app and select paste, only the top half of the notes in the doc file get pasted.
However, if I do the same in Evernote, all the docs notes get copied across!
It would appear this problem is isolated to my G3 because if I try and do the exact same on a different phone, the entire doc and all it's notes gets copied and pasted across.
Any ideas why there is this limitation?
P.S. I can't use Evernote because this particular doc has a lot of passwords. As such I need to use a secure notes app (which I have 'msecure' and have tried the same with others).
Further confusing ~ Even with only half the typed notes copied and pasted, if I then try to edit and type in the missing notes, although the keyboard pops up and I can type, however nothing gets added to the file.
Basically you can happily type as much as you want but nothing is added on screen or in the doc file.
Thanks in advance.
Anyone........ Any ideas?
It's driving me nuts.
I tried installing another notes app and same thing happens, I load a notes file into it but I can't add any more text to the file.
So no one has any ideas or thoughts on the subject?

[Q] Action Memos Note 3 to Note 4

Ended up getting blocked out of my Action Memos by Samsung on my Note 4. I have all the notes, just can't get them to show up on my Note 4. Here's where the help part begins.
1. Need someone who uses AM and doesn't export to S Note or through Evernote to look and tell me where the Action Memos normally live on the Note 4 - where on the internal SD. You can even just do a test note, then open the memo app, not S Note. Then confirm location on internal SD. Need the path/name.
2. If this can't be resolved any other way, my thinking is that if I do a factory reset I'd have to setup my Sammy account again and the Memos will show that way. Thoughts? It's buggered because of an Evernote prompt.
Any ideas or help always appreciated. Still working on it here. If I find a fix other than FR I'll post it.

I didnt choose export to Snote when saving and when i set up the account, i didnt choose evernote, i chose samsung, not evernote(the only two options) and it still saves them to MainStorage/SNoteData/ActionMemo
And to get them to show up i still had to long press the home screen for widgets, scroll down to SNote and choose the second one with the previous saved notes. Id just move the notes from their location to Internal/SNoteData/ActionMemo and theyll be accessible via the SNote widget.
_____
I tried using the MyFiles instead of my File Explorer, and If youre on Internal, theyll show up the Documents section and its the same one thats in the ActionMemo folder and i was able to view it without needing the SNote widget.
You might have to go that route to manually put them in the ActionMemo folder and use the MyFiles default explorer, open up documents and the memos will open on your home screen. Hope that helps.

Thanks. Here's what I know and what I've done.
1. I put them in the S Note folder for Actionmemo but they still won't show.
2. I put them in the Actionmemo folder on the main and same as above **Are you saying it should be ActionMemo and not Actionmemo?
3. What I'm trying to accomplish is have them open through the Action Memo app so that technically they are still editable, but they aren't showing either place.
4. Tried to setup the widget and can't. I'm using Apex Launcher. **What launcher do you use?
5. I can see the jpgs on dropbox, internal SD and anywhere else I have them, just can't "use" them with S pen.
6. The fix for the update worked great until I hooked up to Smart Switch to get the Action Memos onto my Note 4. It saw I was without the update and tried to slam me. Won't be doing that again. Nag is still gone on phone. I think it tried to slam me with 5.1.1 because the 5.0 nag was gone. Learning experience.
Off topic - downloaded the modem file tonight. Thanks.

Always have and always will use Holo Launcher. It works the best for me and my preferred 387 dpi settings with 0.5 animation scale.
It allows all permissions when using any widget and works well with shortcuts too(which i never use)
If you saw a 0/100 at the end of the download progress on the far right, that was just samsung app updating, not the android system. lol
Ive never used action memo, and when i clicked save(didnt click export to Snote at the bottom right), it still saves them to InternalStorage/SnoteData/ActionMemo(Done with a 3rd party File Explorer, which you need if you dont already have one). Youll see the files there but you cant open them within the FileExplorer you donwloaded to see path locations and later use root priveleges when you decide to root.
After moving your old notes to InternalStorage/SnoteData/ActionMemo... Then go to the default File Explorer(MyFiles) Go to Documents, and youll see all your notes/memos and be able to open them up and have them appear on the home screen as if you just got done making them and were about to save them for the first time.

Because of what Sammy did to me with the Evernote thing, when I go to File Explorer(MyFiles), Go to Documents, I see everything spd, but it's only the files I manually sent to SNote from Action Memo. I have over 130 memos and no way I want to manually export those puppies. But the extension is spd. That was a big help. Thanks.
I wonder if it's possible to take a backup of the files - already done - and then change the jpg to spd (via a batch file or something like that)? Then they would all show properly. They're in the right place, but Sammy locked me out of them in favor of Evernote. I don't use Evernote because they're not editable.

Holy #%$& it worked! I did a batch rename on my laptop from cmd promt. Uploaded the files to my N4 and they still didn't show (could be too impatient). Renamed file title to format of early test notes only on N4 and refreshed. It showed up in Action memo! I'm going to give it a wait to see if the rest show up, or in fact have to be renamed to "Action memo" instead of "_QuickMemo".

You do need to change name from "Action memo" instead of "_QuickMemo", that along with the extension rename from "qspd" to "spd" are key. They will load without the first change, but still won't show. And don't forget to include the jpg for each file when you put them in Primary/SnoteData/Action memo.
This will make it possible to copy my notes from my Note 10.1 now. :good:

S pen copy to clip board

After days of research I still have not found the answer that I am looking for. My old note 10.1 tablet was used extensively for school. I keep my textbooks and notes on it. The digitizer died so I upgraded to a 2014 edition. I am very upset over the loss of functionality with this tablet. When I lasso something I get the option to copy it to scrapbook and a whole bunch of other programs but not the clip board or gallery. I can copy it to lecture notes but it is done in a very clunky way. With my old note tablet I would simply lasso something like an equation in a text book and I would then wait about 5 seconds and the picture would disappear and automatically be save to clipboard. I then switched back to lecture notes and I would click the menu and select Import image and then choose gallery and my lassoed image would be right there. I simply selected it, change the size how I needed it and clicked the little check mark. Done.
With the new note there is no way to save to clipboard. My only other option is to upload it to a program like photos, Picasa, drive, and so on. I should not need an internet connection to upload something to what is basically being used as a clipboard. How do I get this feature back? Do I need to root? Can I reinstall the old note program or settings? Of course samsung says that it can't be done but I find that hard to believe since the older tablet did it just fine. Any help is appreciated.
Does lecture notes not appear in the list of programs you can send the selection to? Maybe you can ask the developer to help, as ever note, one note, snote etc are all there. Much easier than copying to clipboard and then importing.
By the way, once you send it to a program, it does get copied to the clipboard automatically. You can paste it if you are using the Samsung keyboard.

Yes it does, but the issue is that when I select it, it wants to open it in a new notebook or open a existing notebook and then insert it at the beginning of the notebook. If I am in a class where I have taken lots of notes then I have to drag the inserted image to the bottom of the page, use the volume buttons to move the page down, then drag again, move page, again and again for however many pages of notes I have. The way it used to work was I lassoed something, copied to clipboard, went back to lecture notes where I had just left it, insert image and confirm. It has changed from about a 10 second process to 30 seconds or more for a single image. At this point I would be happy with removing the new snote and spen settings from both my note 4 and note 10.1 2014 and putting the old snote/spen settings back in to get this functionality back. It's just stupid that clipboard is not an option. And the ONLY reason that it seems it isn't is because Samsung wants us to use it's apps, which it has already shown that it won't support from version to version. I used to use snote for all of this but when I upgraded my phone my old tablet and the new phone would no longer sync. So I upgraded the tablet too and now wish I hadn't. The moment another company comes out with a comparable product with native stylus support, I am done with Samsung.
Yeah, It's annoying that there is no copy to clipboard option. I also use it for notes and I multiwindow a PDF reader with Lecture notes. The lecture notes option in the lasso kills the multiwindow and, as you said, it works weirdly.
The solution I found: Select whatever you want to copy with the lasso. In the apps selection bar, select the Bluetooth option (with Bluetooth off). If you see at the bottom. Of the screen, a little white rectangle will say 'Copied to clipboard'. Then a popup will appear saying: 'You need to enable bluetooth' Click Cancel and wohala!!
Paste it as you know.
I actually posted this in a conversation with acadroid, Lecturenotes creator, somewhere.
Edit: Here, better explained with images:

Tell me if it works..
It does seem to copy to a "non standard" clip board. Thanks for the tip. I also noticed that after trying this that if I select lecture note from the menu it is not trying to open a new note book now. It seems to try to insert the picture where I last was in lecture notes. Not sure why the change. I think I can make it work. I think the failure here is mostly not being able to copy straight to a clip board or the gallery but that is more on samsung than lecture notes. And lector notes is one hell of a step up from snote. Thanks for the tips everyone.
@sendeth: I am not sure whether this helps, but LectureNotes has an open `import image in open notebook´ in the app's import settings. If you enable this option, any image which is opened with LectureNotes or shared to LectureNotes gets directly imported (or, more precisely, placed for import) into the currently open notebook.
You might want to wait for the lollipop upgrade, or do it if you already have it available. It has the smart clip feature from Note 4, which let's you grab screen clips and keep them in a floating tray onscreen, then paste into whichever application you want. I use it all the time on the edge, and it works pretty well. Haven't tried with LN though.
