Is there a way of copying text from the windows clipboard into the android phone? I have Bible notes in a windows program that I want to copy to an android program. they are made by different companies, so the easiest way to copy would be to do a verse by verse copy and paste. However, I don't see how I can use my windows machine to get into the android clipboard.
I tried using droid explorer, but couldn't figure it out. I was able to do a screencast.

Best way to do it is to copy the text on the pc into a txt file, like using notepad. Copy that to your phone, then open it using a file explorer, use that text editor, copy it on the phone, then paste it where you need it.
Yes, every will work. Not sure why I didn't think of that. I guess when you have something stuck in your head, it's sometimes hard to figure out alternatives.
To add on to what's already been said, once you save it as a .txt file and save it to your SD card you can import it into AK Notepad. I'm sure that there are other apps that allow this, but that's the app I use & I know that it works. You can also create a shortcut to the imported file on your homescreen (long-press on the note from within the app and select "pin to homescreen") or add a widget so you can access it easily.

You can also use the Google Chrome to Phone extension and program to push snippets of text from your browser to the phone. I'm finding myself using Evernote more than that lately though. Catch notes, Springpad, or any of the other notepad apps that sync would work. It's nice because it works great both ways -- I can copy something from the phone and create a note, then read it from the PC, or vice versa.
Thanks all. I will use google docs. They already have my information.

Does this perform the same function as astro file manager or es file? Or is it something more?
it opens + edits Word, Excel documents

So i just got a Note 2 coming from the Note 1 and im trying to transfer my contacts over (VCF File) by bluetooth it says the file sent but when i check my Note 2 I cant find the file, Im on a stock rom no root or anything yeT and im runnning Jellybean, any ideas ? :/
edit: Tried Bluetooth File Transfer from Google Play but same thing. I thought they would of been in the bluetooth folder but no matter what file manager i use it just shows its empty
Just for hahas hit phone icon and check your groups and seen if the contacts are there. If not reply back.

Aye i did that and the contacts are there but id like to be able to find the vcf file incase i need it again, i tried sending pics with bluetooth and they work fine its confusing, phones amazing tho.
Did you create your own folder or use the default one?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
default i think its impossible, from testing, pics and vids and text documents all of them transfer fine and are visible but vcf files transfer but the file itself dont appear if i send it via usb tho it appears, so i think were supposed to use the google backup/sync thing instead of vcf files. could be wrong tho, but anyways its all gravy now cheers for ya help
@ Mod this Thread can be deleted..
Im looking for app suggestions for an app that will allow me to take hand written notes on a word document. I have been having some issues with Polaris that after I save a hand written note on a .doc file, when i open it again, my note will be moved to a different spot on the page or even a different page completely.
I have lecture notes, but cant seem to find a way to import a file to it? am i missing something or does it not support that?
Thanks!
*sorry for the duplicate threads, originally posted in wrong section by accident
You could convert the doc file to pdf, then use adobe reader to make the annotations

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.

When you look at the files in MyFiles, are the extensions .spd?

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.

Yes, and theyre able to be opened as well, no SNote involved.

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.

So using the info you gave me about MyFiles on Note 4, I did a search for spd and found all of the files, not jpgs but qspd, on my Note 3. I'm going to try exporting those tomorrow and see if I can lick this situation short term.
Thanks once again, my friend. :good: Off to let my brain mull this one over.

de nada, mi amigo. If that doesnt work, you can always try putting your SPen in Backwards and see if that gives you backwards compatibility to the note 3 files. LMAO.

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".
:victory::victory::victory::victory:
Once again persistence and determination pays off.

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:
