Cannot copy text - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Double tap to zoom in to read text on webpages

Hi,
On my old Xperia Arc, whenever I double tap, it zooms in closer and I can read everything perfectly without touching the scroll bars. I find that on the s3, when I double tap, it just zooms in closer but then i will need to use the scroll bars from side to side to see everything. I have tried going into advanced settings and ticked the option to make everything fit but it doesn't do the job. Any suggestions?
I am having this same annoying issue. Is there a fix for it or something as it seriously is starting to piss me off >.<

Returning to keypad during a call after accessing menus?

Hi guys
Looked for an answer to this and couldn't find one - if you are on the phone and you navigate away to your normal screen by pressing the menu button, the top of the screen goes green (presumably to let you know you are still on the phone).
Is there a simple way to return to the phone screen? At the moment I am choosing phone icon -> return to call but i am wondering whether there is a simple swipe or something to return?
regards
Rob
Scroll down notification tray and click the call button. Is that simple enough for you?

[Q] how can I paste something I copied with the s pen into Gmail?

I want to be able to copy something on my screen using the S Penn, you know like when you draw a circle around something and it copies to your clipboard. And then I want to paste it into my message my gmail app . This possible? Sorry for the poor grammar the voice to text is not working too well right now.

Just add an attachment to your email it should be saved under your screenshots

Haven't really tried it much yet but I press the s-pen button and hold it, circle the object and it copy's to clipboard in gallery under screenshots. I can find it in the gallery and when long pressing the image I can choose the messaging, gmail etc. icon and send it in text, or while in text I can tap the paperclip and find it in gallery.
Hope that makes sense and I didn't read your question wrong.
Happy Holidays
That helps, thanks for that. In gmail on the PC you can just do ctrl v while you are typing your message and it will show the image in the message Instead of down below as an attachment. Any way to do that? If not, no big deal.
Happy holidays to you too

cool!
Haven't had mine hooked up yet to the PC since mine is a dinosaur (PC that is!)
I doubt the N2 will allow you to do the same as on your PC, but if it can I'm sure someone will chime in. Still should show though as the actual pic instead of an attachment that you have to open on the N2
Peace!!

[Q] All apps in multitasking window issue

I've been having a strange issue with the multitasking window. I hit the "edit" button to add apps that I want to multitask, but when I drag an app into the drawer it magically switches to a different app. It doesn't seem to have any kind of pattern either. It will just switch to any random app. Anyone else had this problem yet?
This appears to be a common issue with many of the multi-window mods.
I recommend the multi-window module for the Xposed framework as it corrects this problem.
It can be found here:

You need to clear data for com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService.
Then it will be fine.

My multi Window app tab seems to be at the bottom now. Not sure what I did. Anyone know how to put it back to the middle?

Long press the multi window tab/handle and move it wherever you want.

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.
