Smart Select - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Nevermind. I'll just use Image Select.
Any way to make it stop typing the words within the smart select that I paste into a MMS? There really is no reason I see for this behavior.
So, when I drag the Smart Selected item into the message field it pastes the image & spells out everything that's in the image.

delete all sms?

is there a way for me to erase all sms( sent or received) at once instead of trying to do so 1 by 1 ? if there is a option to select all and then delete would be great but i have not found a way to do that...... thanks
i dont have my phone in front of me, but i do believe if you are looking at the all folders screen, the one that shows inbox/outbox/sent/etc. you can go to options and somewhere in there, maybe in tools or something you should be able to delete all messages. sorry i cant be more descriptive, but its there, just look a bit.
One way to do it - use your stylus and drag down, starting with the first msg you want to delete. It will start highlighting all the messages as you drag downwards. Once you have all the messages highlighted, tap and hold and a context sensitive menu will appear, allowing you to delete all of those highlighted messages.
Do a search for InboxExtender, it's a simple cab that adds a "delete all" and "mark all as read" option.
Use the on screen keyboard and ctrl A to select all then hit delete
Scroll selecting them all and hit delete
Menu / tools / clear sms/mms but this takes out even stored messages not just in box and sent
one small question i seem to have managed to turn mine upside down, by default new messages appeared at the top of the list now they seem to appear at the bottom of current messages, anyone know how to reverse it again ?

At the top, you should have Inbox and Received with down arrows next to them. Click on Received and you should get a dropdown menu. If you click the same menu item that is selected, it does a reverse sort.

found this here on the forums. It adds a few extra menus...
When you are in the messages screen, select Menu / Tools / Clear Messages. It will erase all inbox and sent messages.

[Req] A quick way to send a picture to a person.

I often send pictures to my friends; especially one person. Is there an app or patch to the Sprint picture viewer (or any viewer) that would add "Send this to Joe" to "Send this to a contact" and then automagically do it without all the normal clicking and searching and stuff?
Thanks
Yeah, in Manilla (touch flo 3d interface) go to pictures, hit the desired one, when it's full screen tap the screen, a context menu will appear, hit the envelope icon (3rd from left to right), choose your method of delivery. If you have any problems, post back.
This is for the HTC Album application
Yes, thank you, thats what I've been doing but there's still a lot of steps. After ten or twenty pics it gets aggravating. I meant being in album or camera, tapping or holding down the stylus and a "Quick Send" menu pops up.
Joe
George
All Favorites
Other
Tap one and it's on it's way.
You could also install file explorer extension, check "preview image" and you'll see thumbnail of the file in file explorer, then in the context menu click send. Again brings sms/email and other options
Sorry I can't think of anything else
Thanks. It was just an idea. Maybe I'd better learn how to program.

[Q] Gingerbread: Text selection quirks

Since upgrading to Gingerbread I have been aware of the new text selection features, i.e. dragging the little pin to move the cursor. What I can't get right though is selecting text.
Previously I could double-tap and drag in order to highlight words, which made sense, but now whenever I double-tap anything, I get the "Cut" and "Copy" menu before I can even start to drag. The two separate pins don't ever appear that way.
The only way I can seem to make it work is by holding on a word, picking "Select word" and then dragging the two pins when they appear, which seems a little drawn out compared to before.
Anyone any clues? Have the gestures changed? Am I doing something wrong or is this just the way it works now? Wondering if someone with a Nexus S or other custom Gingerbread ROMs can also confirm.
I don't know in which apps you have tried this, but the way it works in the browser and gmail (checked right now) is that you:
1.Tap and hold to go into text-selection mode
2.Drag your finger over the text you want to copy
3.Adjust with arrows as you see fit
4.Click on the selected text to copy it
5.Profit

Ah ha, I see, that seems to work for reading emails and web pages. I was more meaning inside text-entry boxes like in the SMS app, Google Talk, etc.

[Q] Saved attachments

I have a new S6. When someone sends me a picture in a message, I "save" it, but I can't find them again. They are not in a photo album, and I don't know where they are or how I can view them. Please assist.
Try opening the gallery app and press the down arrow icon in the corner and select a different selection and see if they show up. I even had to reboot my phone before to make a picture appear.

Cut and Paste Photos

Hi
Is there a way to cut an image by selecting what you want and then pasting it on another image? I can't seem to find any info relating to the Note 8

There is a app called Picsay in the play store
Hi thanks for the reply. I thought you could use for instance the lasso tool and copy cut out to clipboard and then paste on another pic without additional third party apps.
you can lasso and share directly to certain apps, but the clipboard is not one of them, the work around would be to share to Samsung note app then select and hold to copy to clipboard, from there you should be able to paste it into any app which will accept it (there are very few apps that will accept pasting of images, the clipboard edge app is indispensable if your doing alot of this stuff)
Another option would be to share directly to your image editing app and then insert other image underneath.
The easiest way: display picture on the screen, pull out the s-pen, click smart select on menu, select part of picture with pen, pin to screen. Load your second picture, properly position your pinned picture, take screen shot. I'm sure there are many other ways using picture editors and stamp functions.
in case you might find it useful, Autodesk Sketchbook will allow you to composite the smart select directly over an existing session/image as a new layer via the share button in smart select. It will use the active sketchbook session (last opened document) and is the only one in my collection of sketching/note taking apps that allows this behavior. Its a pretty decent sketching app too.
picsay pro
photoshop touch
Just figured it out if you're still interested. No 3rd party app or s pen needed. If you have both images saved to your gallery, open the main image. Then open the 3 dots (more options) in the upper right of the screen. Select "open in photo editor pro". Select "decoration" icon. Then select "images" and that will open up the gallery in bottom half of the screen for you to select the other image you want to add to the image you're in now. Hope this helps

How do you "pin to screen"? In my old Note 4 a few years back I could do this as you explained but in my new N8 it seems the option is not there.
I also made with the workaround described 2 posts back, but the option of pin to screen was much faster and I don't seem to find it anymore.
Edit: just to clarify, the "pin to screen" option is available if I use the rectangle smart select, if I use the lazo (which I use to crop a photo) then the pin to screen is not shown, this was available in Note 4, I don't see why removing it!!!
