Just got my phone and the first thing I wanted to do was set up wifi.
Have a long wifi password so transferred a txt file to the Note using Kies.
I can click on the txt file and it opens in the default program (Polaris?)
But I can't see any way to select the specific text, copy it, then paste it in the
window that asks for wifi pw.
I can type it in by hand or use some trick but I really just want to know how to select/copy/paste text now.
Thanks

Long press on the bits you want to select. Should get a pop-up to copy. Then long press where you want to paste. Again a pop-up should appear with paste.
Try the application clipper on the Google play store. Makes managing clipboard even easier.

seems polaris office doesn't allow editing? (which is bs)
maybe this is the issue?

I'm fed up with the way pocket outlook allows me to search for files to add them as email attachments. What it does is it searches all the folders for files which takes sooooooo long. So in perfect life I would like to manually pick a folder and then select a file as an attachment. Does something like this exist?
I know that there are other email clients out there but I would like to have this feature in outlook as it's better integrated with the OS.
It's called, open file explorer, find the file to send, hold down on the file, go to send, and then pick your method.

Yeah I knew that but sometimes while writing an email I realize that I forgot to attach a file and then....I will have to either attach a file through outlook or copy my message to clipboard, go to explorer attach a file to a new email and then paste the text of my message.....too much hustle. So I'm still looking for some convenient solution.
Good luck with that. .
I don't see how people can be so picky about this sort of thing. One guy got mad because he had to click too many times to send an SMS message out.

Come on think about this....wasn't it be easier to just allow the user to access the explorer directly from the new email screen and allow one to pick the SPECIFIC folder. And now when you want to attach a file directly from the email screen you have to wait until WM searches all your folders which takes just too damn long.
So i just don't follow you......picky??? I'm just proposing an improvement. I've got a feeling that you consider WM 6.1 to be perfect as it is...

You can't do copy and paste from gmail app. Whenever I need to do that I use the browser version (gmail.com)

I can do this on the Opera app, but not on the gmail app.
Press Menu -> More -> Select Text -> Copy.
Copy and paste requires ridiculous acrobatics and renders these phones as toys. I received one to test for our work fleet roll out and was shocked at the terrible text editing capabilities and near impossible copying from the browser.
This is after using win5,6 phones.
It seems the pda phone is truly dead with all the multimedia phones around. Particularly the lack of buttons...
Try the copy paste app from market. It even has OCR built in. Its really very easy even to copy text from images.

It all depends on the software sadly, Get K-9 to replace your mail app and something like Xscope or another browser,
Xscope lets you "SHARE" the www address bar, from that menu you can pick COPY or email to email .
Or you could try on the market for 3rd party cut and paste apps.
I can give you a way to cut/copy/paste the user-input text:
Assuming you're using Swype, place your finger over the bottom leftmost key (key with a swiping hand image) and swipe it to the immediate right key (SYM).
You'll reach the editing options, where you'll find multiple text editing options.
However, it you're referring to being able to copy text from webpages, e-books, etc. I don't know how to do that.
Good Luck

well thx for infos guys if i find some nice app i will leave a feedback here
Best way to do this is using K9 which sadly doesnt support threading view yet, or using the gmail app on the browser and copy pasting from there
Its a similar dilemma to the iphone app :<
Hi
In the "phone" application, if I have an entry in the call log from someone, I simply cannot copy that number to the clipboard. I have to long press and select "Edit number before call" and then copy it from the text box (not from the place it is displayed above). Highly convoluted and non-user friendly.
Is there any reason why I cannot simply long press a phone number in the call log and copy it? Even selecting text does not seem to be possible in Whats App or SMS applications. There is some cursor like thingy that appears and thats about it. I cannot select portions of text to be copied.
Can't believe I am asking this, but how can I copy portion of text, say from an SMS or from a WhatsApp message?
Thanks.
Farhad.

Double tap the text and you should get two handles and the select/copy/cut action bar up top.
It took me a while to get this, apparently on Sony phones you have to double tab to get to cut/copy/paste, it's easy enough once you get that though.
Sony Phone app: no copy, no send contact, no vibrate when connected.
Sony Messaging app: no font size changable, no hide message content option, can't not send (unamed) number from call log.
In term of UI functions, Sony need to do much more. I feel they still not focus enough on software
Don't tell us, tell Sony, they're the only ones who can do anything about it.
Hello,
I have another copy / Paste question. In the calendar I cannot copy the location entry. Anytime I tab it, I am asked to open google maps. Any Idea how to copy location text?
Thanks!

Not sure what do you mean "no vibration when connected, but to copy: long press on the number and to send: that's in the menu.

No vibration when your outgoing call connected .
Hello,
I was trying to attach a saved note in gmail, but could not find it. Does anybody know how to do it? When I click on attach, it shows 2 options, namely, 'attach file' and 'insert from drive'. When I tap 'attach file', there are just pictures. videos, audio and internal storage. I read via google that the notes were saved in secured folders in previous notes. Is that also the case on this phone? If so, how else can I share the files, when replying to an email?
Cheers.
Note: I did a quick search on this forum, but did not find anything. (went 2 pages deep). If the solution already exists, kindly point me to the right direction.
The only way I know how to share a Samsung note is to open the note, hit share, you'll get a dialog box to share as.. Txt, PDF, etc,...
Pick one, then select the Gmail app...

Hi Whelmar,
Thanks for answering. That works perfectly if I am sending a new email, but its if I want to reply to an email, that's where the problem comes. Maybe there is a way to save the note as a jpeg or something?

Cronus, you can easily save a note as jpeg or PDF, save it in local storage and then open any gmail and attach it as file by selecting it as local file. I use Xplore File manager and it works like a charm with it. I am attaching few screenshots to make it easy. Let me know, if it works fr you
