How do you copy and paste text without removing the stylus. I know how to select the text I want to copy by maneuvering the blue arrows, but I can't figure out how to copy it to the clipboard once it's selected.
How do you get S-Note to insert question marks? It will insert a period if I say period, but it actually types the words question mark when I say question mark.

Maybe a screen shot would help, what app are you in? Once you select text a menu should appear, like this. This is with chrome, the stock browser is similar. I didn't use the stylus with this.
Not sure on the S-Note thing.

hey just wondering if any one can help me. recently purchased my xda mini s and havent worked out how to delete all of the text messages in my inbox or sent items folder. is there a way of doing this?
Easy. Go to Inbox and drag the stylus accross all the items for deletion, then hold the stylus over the highlighted items and a menu will appear with Delete as the top option. You can also do this in the Sent box and once thats done if you go to Deleted Items and do the same again they will all be cleared.
cheers cant think why i didnt try that before
I recently tried Swiftkey 3 in order to see if the keyboard allowed the user to see the actual Emoticon when you want to send one in a text. Just as in the stock keyboard, all you actually see is the characters that are used, not the actual smiley. I would like to use some but dont have all the smileys memorized as to what the emoticon actually is and the only way to know is to send the text and see it when its too late. I sent my buddy a kiss yesterday lol. Is there an app or any way to actually see which smiley I choose. I will say the Swiftkey 3 keyboard is just excellent at its predictive typing. I barely spell anything correctly and punch in whatever is close and it turns out perfectly. The stock keyboard changed it to sentences I couldnt even make sense of. Thanks pete
I haven't used anything that allows you to see them. You just learn as you go. You can always text your own number the emoticons though.

I don't think you'll get this from a keyboard, you might have to find a different SMS program that interprets the smiley keys as an actual smiley while you type. I's using GO SMS Pro, by default it doesn't have this function, but there might be an option to activate it. It's free, so you can install it and look for the option.
How does go sms differ from the stock messenger

Go, along with other third party apps, allows you to customize the look of your inbox via themes, assigning individual contacts a specific text tone, and other features are available as well. I know with Go, you can install the emoji plug in that iPhone uses, but only those with the plug in can see that kind of stuff.
On a side note, now that I think about it, Go has a button within the texting that allows you to see what the emoticons look like before choosing.
Edit: I just checked and the feature you are looking for is indeed available in GO SMS Pro. With the soft keyboard down, there is a smiley face button and it allows you to see what the emoticons look like before choosing. Hope that helps.

K trying it out but I have one issue with go. When you send a pic to someone who doesn't have go its a link to the picture instead of actual picture. Is there a workaround for that

How are you sending the photo because I haven't had an issue like that.
Sent from my LT28at
There are two ways to send a photo. If you click the soft button that says go and select image, that's when it sends a link to someone without go. If you were to select MMS at the far right instead of go, it sends an actual image via MMS.
Have you been using the go tab to send pictures?

Is anyone able to have a dark theme in the stock messenger? Black/grey background instead of white?
I used the mms photo but sent it to an iphone user. Sending to other androids is fine. Thanks for the suggestions. I am liking it so far much better than stock with a black and gray theme downloaded for free.

You can tell that iPhone person to just get an android phone and solve the problem
Well I'm stumped honestly. You could try emailing the devs

Not a big issue just wondering if non smartphone people will get a link or picture?

Right now the default program is Paper Artist, which I don't care for, specially since I don't know how to disable all of those fruity filter overlays. I'd rather open it with something different.
Ideas?
Update: just froze Paper Artist with TB, looks like it might be hard coded to use that app

Clear defaults for that app. You Must have set it as a default. When I do a screen shot I get like 6 options. I never set a default app to handle screenshots.

You are wrong. No defaults is set for note2 and it will directly open paper artist without any choice. The edit key is junk and you must open the picture and select edit. Then you can use your own editor.
spent over hours and still cannot find a solution to make the "edit" button on notification bar to work with other app. giving up and wait for a patch
Not the best solution, but this worked for me: http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/29473/ok-android-jelly-bean-reset-app-preferences/
As the OP realized, the Note II is hard-wired to launch Paper Artist by default in that instance, even when no defaults are defined in that particular app. Put another way, it's in the stock ROM.
If flashing another ROM outright isn't desirable ( and is likely overkill ), there are still a couple of options. For the benefit of future readers who stumble upon this page :
• See if there's an Xposed Framework module that takes care of it, possibly as part of a package along with other mods. If unfamiliar with Xposed, take a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/framework-xposed-rom-modding-modifying-t1574401
• If the device is rooted and Paper Artist will likely not be used in any context, the app can be frozen—or outright uninstalled—using Titanium Backup. Titanium will issue a warning if uninstalling, because Paper Artist is a stock app… but it's also a standalone app and will not cause problems if uninstalled. That said, freezing is of course the safer option. Either way, the impact will be the same : the post-screenshot message in the notification panel from then on will change to "Screenshot captured – Touch to view your screenshot". Tap it and it will open in the stock Gallery, and from there the image can be taken anywhere by tapping the Share symbol at the top ("Share via…" pops up followed by a list of every app on the device that can open that file type ).
That last option may look more involved than it is, but it's only one extra step : instead of screenshot direct to editing app, it's screenshot to Gallery to editing app. Also note that whenever the editing in question involves only very basic functions ( cropping, markups, framing ), it can be done directly in the stock Gallery app, without necessarily taking it further.
Any way you can get the default dialer app to display the numpad when opening up? It's relatively unhelpful when it just displays a bunch of white space.

Well if you open the app, bring up the dial pad and close it but leave it in memory it should open back up the way you left it.

So you don't have "favorites"?? I thought everyone had those....
I'd put the people I call/text/email the most in favorites that way they show up. If you don't want to do this then open the dialer> open up keypad> then hit home button. Re-open dialer and keypad pops up on mine

It does open favorites by default. Favorites are helpful, but on ROMs like HTC Sense, the number pad opens when you launch the dialer and you can either dial a number right away or use the letters on the number pad to type the first few letters of a contact name to search for someone and then hit call.
I guess these are some of the finesse things that change among ROMs and I could download a different dialer app in the play store.

When opening a link from a text, it opens in a window, but it never fully loads. It did this on my first Note 7 and now on my new one. I have to go to the top right menu button and choose Open In Browser.
How do I stop it from opening in this app first, and go straight to my browser?
Thanks.
So far as I can tell, you can't. You can use a different message app though. I'm using True Messenger. A few things I don't like about it, but it does solve that problem.
