[Q] Xperia P Cannot Copy and Paste 6.1.1.B.1.54 - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

In the latest version (6.1.1.B.1.54) I am having trouble copying the URL in Chrome. It was working a few weeks ago before updating Chrome and the ROM. I thought it might be the Chrome update, but other people are saying that it is likely to be the ROM (http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/34842/how-to-copy-the-current-url-in-chrome).
Is anyone else having this problem?

Actually it's chrome update. Just double tap your url and clic thé copy picture. Then press and hold whenever you want to paste it

Thanks. You kind of have to double tap it twice. The first double tap selects all of the URL and then deselect it, the second double tap brings up the copy menu.

Yea it's weird bc you have to double tap when you see the cursor

[Solved[ Renaming photos/videos?

Is there an option to rename the photo/video once captured?
Open gallery and any;
Tap photo > phone menu > rename
Tap on video > tap again (do it's full screen) > phone menu > renameVideo
You can also use any file explorer to rename any file as well. Just Babita navigate to the file (sdcard/DCIM for camera photos and videos), long tap and you will have a list of options, including rename.

What gallery app is that?? The GS3 Gallery app should have icons next to the selections and all of the selections that are in the post above yours. And did you try scrolling down the list?
Just the standard gallery app.
I am using the CM ZOOM rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698273).. if that changes anything

Yep. I would say it does. A file browser will be your best bet then.

Instructions posted twice previously. And the OP didn't bother to try...... or answer
Maybe try another gallery app from the market? Plenty to choose from, probably better than stock.

Not of your renaming multiple files in the same session
The thread title or OP did not state it must rename with gallery.... (do I gave two options).
So if you must use a "gallery" app exclusively to rename, using a different gallery app to what you have, then your problem will be solved
Please let's us know if it works ok, and then rename thread to [solved]. Cheers

Can't put a file on desktop

I know that i am probally missing something simple but -
On a S3 how do i put a Excel file on a screen?
It won't let you right click and copy and paste. However, if you select the file and hot control+c the go to desktop and hit control+v it should work

I think he's referring to putting it on the home screen of his GS3....correct?
Yeah
this may or may not work. Also there may be an easier way. I downloaded Astro file manager from Google Store (free app)
Went to home screen, long press and select Short Cuts (I use Nova launcher)
Then selected Astro from the menu
Astro should open and you should be able to browse to the file you want. I didnt have an excel or document to use. I just tested it with a ringtone and it added the ringtone to home screen

The text won't be shown as "copy". There is an icon at the top. Like this. 2nd from left. That's copy option.

Copy / paste

I'm having trouble with copy and paste. When I'm writing text I do the usual long press to select but instead of copy it shows the magnifying glass. Never had this trouble on any other android device. Am I doing something wrong, is there another way to copy text?
Double tap the word you wanna copy, then it will mark the word and you can extend the selection to whatever you need.

Cannot copy text

When I long press text it only brings up the magnifying glass but no action bar for options such as cut paste, etc
I'm fairly sure I used to be able to do it?
Anyone know how to fix this?

Same problem i had when I first got the phone then accidentally after double tapping on the word the copy option came up. So if you need to do other operations best way is to double tap. Long hold results in magnification.
