Hello guys,
I got my N4 today, very pleased.
I dont think there is a way to PASTE your smart clips. I see a way to share them and to add them to a scrapbook, but not paste.
I was sure I saw something like that in some demo?
The manual does not mention if/how that can be done,
Any success with that out there?

Hi
Thanks for the response, but there is no such option to Copy to Clipboard.
If there is no option search playstore ...there was an app that forced copy to clipboard to be an option...especially useful for YouTube.

Hi
yeah, I did that before I posted here.
The clipboard paste apps I found there are about COPYING multiple items to that clipboard, but which does not tie in with Smart Select - so you can't copy smart selected elements to those apps, only things which have the COPY contextual menu as an option, like when you select text and have a copy option.
Nothing I have found allows you to copy a "smart selection" set of items to the clipboard. In fact I don't know if this would make sense on an android system level... the "smart selection" may not use the android clipboard at all... so there may not be any solution unless Samsung makes it possible.

If you open a note and use the edit in s-note icon in the lower right-hand corner, you can just drag one or more items from the collection to the note.

Hi
Open a note?
What note?
I have some smart select items I want to paste into an email I am replying to.... and there is no "note" I am working on, and there is no icon anywhere to drag to that email I am replying to...
Seems this is how I would use it, and it does not work like that... you can create a new email but not add to a reply or add clips to an existing document.

If you don't want to save it to a note, but email instead, it still works the same. Save your selected item (s) to a collection using that little collections icon then open your new email message. If you have more than one item in the collection, tap on the down triangle at the bottom of the collection box, select the item you want to place in the email, and just drag it over. It will place the text in the spot you drag it to.
When you are done placing the text or image. You can drag the collection box towards the top of the screen and a trashcan appears. Drag it to the trashcan and it deletes the collection.

nope
that does not work.
try it.
try smart copy a couple of icons off your desktop and try paste that in gmail. I copied the phone icon, the message icon and app drawer icons as one image file, and when I drag and drop that to gmail, I get "[email protected]" instead of the image of the three icons!
This only works with TEXT but not with photos. Photos result in some gobbledygook nonsense word.
It works via drag n drop with the stock email app. With Gmail you need to use the share button and pick gmail. They will in both cases be sent as attachments to the email you send.

It doesn't work on Gmail, only if you create a new message. If it's an existing message you're responding to, there is no way to use smart select.
It works as an attachment so you have to save the images first if you want to attach them in Gmail to a reply. I just tested it. I used Share>ES Save To to save the selection as a png to the download directory. (I have ES File Explorer so that shows up in the share list) Then open your Gmail item and attach it from there.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Well adding attachments to Gmail is something any phone can do... As I am trying to point out, Smart Select cannot paste the contents to an existing gmail, you have to save it first, then attach manually from gmail... Not particularly fast, unique or convenient.
You have to add the attachments to gmail one at a time
The text "Smart Selections" are attached purely as images (no OCR)
So Smart Select is great for Evernote, Google Keep or Samsungs note taking apps, but not for existing Gmails! Saving to Drive also saves text smart selections as images instead of OCR text & images.
Mark.
Well I think Smart Select is a bit of a misnomer. It works by automating the process of saving the selections to png files so you can share them. That's just how it works.

the main part is multiple clipboard copying of BOTH images AND text simultaneously.
It also does OCR of text in images
SADLY with "copy to clipboard" missing as a sharing option, the inability to paste to any app that can paste images and text simultaneously, like gmail, is missing.
I've been trying to figure this out too. I have found a different way of selecting items into the clipboard. I use image clip instead of smart select. Then I hit the share button in the top right. And it automatically copies the item to the clipboard.

And from there, if you need it to be square there's an option to do so in the top left corner

Hmm
when I go to Share , and then choose none of the options and then go to Gmail and press to get contextual menu, there is no paste that comes up... so nothing gets copied into the clipboard. What steps did you take?
Even if it did, that would be one image at a time... which is ok, but not quite the nifty thing SmartSelect could be if it could copy all pix and text to clipboard!

Is it possible to save a webpage on the HD? You know, just like on the PC, you can save a webpage to view it later off-line.
I presume your using Opera? Go to your webpage you want to save, then just tap bottom right of the screen, then on the STAR Tab. Tap on the PLUS sign on the bottom left and lastly the TICK! You can also put it into a certain folder too!

Thats to create a favorite, I think the post is asking to save the page to view off line in the HD cache, nut sure if by creating a favorite you can view it off line, I am sure someone will tell us.
That's correct. I am not referring to saving a favorite, but rather to saving the page itself to view later without having to connect to the internet again. I don't know if it is possible.

To what location are they saved?
Yes it is, saved pages can be found under Application Data\Opera\saved pages\ under a default name. You could probably transfer these files anywhere later on and access them from File Explorer (tried that and it works).
Another way to access the page: click the rightmost icon in the bottom soft bar in Opera (the same bar where you can also add to favorites). An option "Saved pages" shows you all the saved pages like they were favorites/bookmarks.
Maybe there is a way to configure the default saved pages folder ... (haven't found anything under opera:config)
BEWARE when you open the file: the phone will probably try to establish a connection via GRPS, it's best to turn on the notification of a GRPS connection, that way you are notified and asked before such a connection can be established.
Hello everybody. I've got two unrelated questions...
1)In a number of programs that use list views, e.g. contacts, messaging, notes... you can select more than one item by either dragging your stylus across the items you want to select or click on menu and then edit> select all or several. but what if the items you want to select are not in order? I wonder if there's any way you can do that akin to Windows desktop use of control clicking the items you want to select. in my previous E90, you could do that by holding ctrl while selecting the items....
2) I can't seem to paste any rss URL in the appropriate field in the Sony Ericsson Panels, I find myself having to manually type in the address even though I copy the address in Opera and go to the field and hold-tap the screen untill I get the "paste" menu item then i click on it, but nothing is pasted, is this a bug?? thanks in advance......
If the manipulations you want to do are on files, Total Commander (a file explorer) has a ctrl button along the bottom of the screen. Just use it like you use in Windows.
Thanks a lot man... any answer to the 2nd question???
Ok, by now you probably know HTC's nice text selection tool. To use it, write some words in a HTC application (like the text message composer), then tap-and-hold somewhere in the text. You get one handle to move around, or two if you want to select a precise part.
But there's more. Change "HKLM/Software/HTC/TextSelection/EnableMagnifier" from 0 to 1. Now activate the text selection tool again as described above and try moving the single handle around...
Nice catch. Can be helpful in tight selections. I've been looking through the reg. So much stuff disabled... Why does HTC do this? They could've placed it as an option on SMS menu...
Thanks. Added to tips thread.
Maybe they disable it so we at XDA have something to do until HSPL is released
Some other simple but cool things I discovered:
* You can use the album app to crop pictures. Just pinch-to-zoom until the part you want fills the screen, then tap the screen, tap the icon on the bottom right and choose the second option from the menu. In Dutch it's called 'Schermafbeelding opslaan'. It will save a cropped copy of your pic.
* Here's a registry entry I found: "HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/InternetPush/EnablePushInternet". It's set to 0 by default. I'm not really interested in push internet, so I haven't experimented with this, but it seems you can enable it if you want.
* Sometimes touch scrolling gets in the way of selecting text. If you want to select text, the solution depends on the context, but to start you just tap-and-hold anywhere:
-- In Opera, you can switch text selection on/off in the context menu;
-- In some apps (like while reading an e-mail message) you get a pop-up menu where the first option is 'make selection' ('selectie maken' on my Dutch device);
-- In Word, just before the pop-up menu appears, you see this: '[T]'. As soon as it appears, move your finger and you'll be able to select text!
* If you like the Footprints app but prefer full size pictures to those square 'polaroids', there's an option to save a full sized copy whenever you create a 'Footprint' (Footprints tab -> Menu -> Settings).
* The 'me' entry in the People app stores your 'owner' info. I know this is widely known by now, partly because I've been posting it everywhere, but I still see so many people complaining they can't register their applications (Resco stuff, SKtools)... because the can't find the old owner info icon. I have registered both Resco Explorer and SKtools perfectly fine without ever bringing the owner info icon back.
I haven't ever been able to get the Text Selection sliders to work on a custom rom even after setting the registry value to 1.
This is an awesome feature and I can't understand why it doesn't work.

you know it only works in text messaging, right? (well, some other htc apps too, apparently, but i couldn't name another one i've seen it in)
Yes of course... I'm aware that it only works in the realm of Sense specifically mail and text. I can do the standard selection thing but I just can't seem to get the sliders.
Any ideas?
hmm, well a common mistake I've come across a few times is people not pressing select the first time.
firstly go type some text into a new text message. (not sure where the idea it works in email came from, certainly doesn't on mine.)
ok, press and hold should bring up a cursor and the words "select|select all.
use the single sljder to set the start(or end, whichever) press 'select' nd now a second slider should join the first, enabling you to select.
Thanks for the responses guys, but as it turned out, I didn't realise that Energy ROMs are stripped of the HTC Messaging Module and that seems to be the only place where this 'feature' works.
It's a shame that's it's not available system-wide considering how easy it makes life.
I installed the HTC Messaging Client and voila, it was it there! but that excitement was short lived considering how bad HTC's messaging client is.
hah couldn't agree more. with the magnifier too its great ,, just never gets used.
I've heard and read so many good comments about ANDROID, I decided it was time to make the switch and I went for the X10 yesterday. I was very excited !!
But after one day of use I am starting to feel frustrted... the more I play with the phone, the more I feel trapped and lost: I need help !!
FILE SYSTEM
- A file explorer was not present (a bad vibe went down through my spine...), so I downloaded a couple of "file explorers" from the market and tried to explore the phone's contents but I couldn't
How can I explore/browse the phone's folders and files ?? (not the SD card, but the phone itself), hidden / system files included ??
EDIT Rooting + Estrongs File Explorer solves this
- How do I save content into the phone's memory ?? (not the SD card)
EDIT Rooting + Estrongs FE solves this
APPS FOLDER
- How can I customize the apps folder ??
- How to rearrange the shortcuts ??
- How can I edit a shortcut ??
- How can I create a shortcut for an app listed as "installed" but lacking a shortcut to be launched (no shortcut for voice recorder or latitude) ??
EDIT Estrongs FE can create shortcuts to the "home" at least...
CONTACTS
- How can I sort my contacts ?? (Last/First name)
- Where is the option to assign each one's facebook pic to its contact ??
USABILITY
- How to enable haptic feedback ??
EDIT Only the keyboard can provide haptic feedback, still finding a way to enable it everywhere, throughout the whole system
- How do I choose which folder to save an attachment to ??
- How do I select text from an email to copy it to another application ?? (email app)
- How do I save copyed text into a text note ??
EDIT Third party note apps solve this
- Double tap won't zoom, pinching won't zoom, but this thing is capacitive !!
EDIT Yes I know I canzoom with th onscreen buttons, an OS refresh will solve this
- Nothing happens when I click the battery icon. How to create a shortcut to my current battery charge percent ??
EDIT Yeah this is one of those "I have to switch my mind from WM to android" ones, so consider it solved
- And where is the battery page at all ??
EDIT Found. I am such a stupid android noob LOL !!
- How do I multi-select items (emails, messages, contacts) to delete, copy or move them ??
- Where is "google talk" ?? (my friends with android phones keep asking me to open "google talk" but I can't find it on the phone nor market)
EDIT I was able to install gtalk after rooting, had to search for the APK myself
ANDROID is supposedly "open" and "user friendly"
Being new to Android, it' probably my fault/lack of experience only.
Am I missing something here ??
What's going on ??
I am as confused as Adam on mother's day
.
the same thing happened to me xD
and I know you and I come from an x1 XD
is not that hard, you have to check the options for the 3g if not say bye to the battery gauge also to your data plan if you have o.0
I suggest you open the User Manual that came with your phone.
Most of your questions will be answered in it. There's no double-tap to zoom in 1.6, but will arrive with the 2.1 update later this month. Having a capacitive screen has absolutely 0.000000% to do with it.
Also, a lot of your questions can be solved by a "Long Press"... aka, hold on the item you want to select for a second.

If it only were as easy as a "long press"... huh...
But your second point is valid: some of my issues with the phone could be related to the old OS... maybe an OS refresh will help

Indeed I went X1 -> X2 -> Topaz -> HD2 -> back to X2
This is my first android experience and it is not fulfilling my expectances, maybe they were too high...

For the system files I think you have to root your phone first, and install Astro File Manager.
You can manage your file (system or SD card) there, including copy, paste, move, etc.

Root was EASY and FAST (aprox 5 seconds) with this little APK:

Those complicated step-by-step stickyed rooting threads should be replaced by this simple, fast and easy APK that does everything at once and automatically
NOW I HAVE FILE ACCESS, YESSSSS

Yep, the timescape feature is cool. But I don't know why ppl doesn't like it a lot.
If you want to add icons to your default desktop, just press the 'menu' button from your phone (located lower left of the phone), then select 'add' (there's a 'plus' icon), then you can choose to add your application shortcuts, widgets, or folders.
To move the icon, just long press the icon you want (till the phone vibrate) and just slide to move it.

Now I know for sure it was the best step to choose an X10 after my beloved x1! Since Gtrab got one too! Congrats with your x10! You'll need to get used to android first.. At first I missed winmo very much, but now I can't imagine using another!
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
theres a thing called settings, you should check it out before complaining.
I like S-Note but I couldn't get it to create notes the way I wanted. I wanted a white background page with feintly ruled lines, no margin and with the ability to add new pages to my note without having to manually change the background each time. Attached is a screenshot showing what my standard note page looks like (the righthand scrollbar only shows when the toolbar is open). Also attached is the image file that you can use if you want to create the same standard note on your table. You can edit this image using an image editor if you prefer different coloured lines or want a left margin etc
Instructions:
Copy the RuledPage794x1100.jpg file to your tablet
Open S-Note app and choose Import from the menu (dont press the + sign to create a new note yet)
Choose image file (jpg)
Navigate to where you saved the image and select it
Adjust the crop window that appears to the size of the entire image the press the Save button
Now choose a template to create a new note (I used the Memo template)
The new note opens with the ruled lines as the background
Pressing the + icon at the bottom right adds a new page with the same ruled background to your note - you dont need to manually change the background each time you add a new page
Happy note-taking
Great! Now I know how to make my own templates...
Yours is a great start... better than any of the defaults. I'll be using it till I make my own (with smaller lines).
And much to my delight, I've managed to create a selection of templates that look like real paper and have smaller lines.
Try them out. They feel realy authentic... especially if you use the Pencil instead of Pen and make it only about 2-3 pixels in diameter.
Just follow the procedure in the first post.
Like writing in a real diary.
Edit: Appologies for the wall of images, but for some odd reason I wasn't able to attach any files in any of the reply options...

Cool - the main benefit for me is being able to add extra pages to a note and not have to go and edit the background to what I want every time I add a page. The ring binder effect on your image looks good.
Another way to do it is
1. Open a new note
2. Change the background and pattern to what you want
3. Push the menu button and then select export and then as image file (.jpg)
4. Exit out of the note and from the main note screen push the menu button and select import
5. Select image file (jpg) and then select the note you exported.
6. Fleet a template to save it as and then rename it if you want.
I really like the white background with the smallest lines and don't like having to constantly select change background.

Kia Ora.
I must be missing something, this process gives me a note with the selected background. But it doesn't appear (or i'm doing something wrong) to add 'My new backgrounded Note' to the list of selectable Templates. Does this mean that everytime i want to knock out a note with one of the great backgrounds up above, i need to follow the process starting with Import ??
cheers
