copy and paste not working - Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The past three days i discovered i cannot copy and paste on my device. I can long hold and highlight but when i click to copy there s no confermation that it has copied. Because when i long hold to paste all i see is the clipboard button which does not paste.
Some apps are crashing becuse of the problem
I am running stock ics 4.04
Thanks for your help

I'm having the same problem. It was working just fine until a few days ago, its crashing the browser I am using and any apps I use when I attempt to copy and paste. I think the Samsung Galaxy 7.7 isn't up to par, I'm thinking of returning it because this doesn't make any sense.

I had the same problem....doing a factory reset will fix it...let me know if this works

How do I change phone.apk

I have flashed Darky's 7.7 for the captivate (awsome rom), and I would like the original phone app back. The rom has the phone app with the video call buttons and I would like to have it without.
I realize this is because it is based on a I-9000 rom, but any help would be appreciated.

What u do is download another rom where u like the phone app. Then put that file on ur sd card.
Next get rootexplorer and change the top to r/w.
Finnally find the phone file that u just put on ur sd card and copy/move it to /system/app. It will ask to overwrite, just say yes.

Thanks, do I just use Phone.apk or Phone_Util.apk and PhoneErrService.apk.
Thanks again.

Just use phone.apk

Yup, cant get that to work, just a couple things force close and the same dialer remains. I will try again tomorrow. Thanks for your help.
The only thing I can think of is try new phone.apk, phone utilities.apk and phone error(something).apk

I think I might have to make a update.zip and install with clockwork recovery.
Pretty sure you're also going to need DialerTabActivity.apk for this to work properly.
Use caution though, I got my phone stuck in a bootloop trying to do this exact same thing and ended up having to re-flash the ROM.
I'll try that tonight when I get home from work.
The keypad is in DialerTabActivity.apk. You'll want to follow the same steps above to copy that over the current DialerTabActivity.apk in /system/app/. The Phone.apk controls the screen that comes up when someone calls in or when you're in a call.
Hope noone minds unburying the thread. Is phone replacement a way to fix the problem with the phone app losing phone call even when I press home button?
I am not sure if this is the rooting of my nomu s10 that did that, but otherwise, the apps are working fine.
Thanks.

[Q] This may be the wrong spot. But please help with MMS!!

OK, Here is what I have: I have a Samusung admire, Metro Pcs. New just rooted today.
I was removing all the metro crap (using titanium) when I deleted the MMS being I wasent using it, I use the go sms pro.
Well to come to find out you kinda need the mms that was installed on the phone, so now im trying to get it back on there...
Here is my issue I am having:
I go to system, apps and I see the MMS there, when when I try and install it, it says not installed. so I extrated files and tryed it again, same thing, of course Im not sure if Im doing this right. By the way I do open the superpermission on it.
What am I doing wrong, can anyone please give me advice on how to install this?
If you didn't make a Titanium backup of your stuff before you started removing things, you're out of luck my friend and it's factory reset time for you
If you ever have doubts about removing things using a program like Titanium, pick the 'freeze' option instead of the 'delete' option. This will halt the process and stop it running in the background and consuming memory, but you can 'unfreeze' and restore it to normal should freezing cause issues.
No such luck with deletion, of course
Let me know how you get on. Good luck!
Try asking someonee to upload the mms apk

That's weird. I've deleted the stock MMS.apk tons of times without a single problem
Do adb push
adb push MMS.apk system/app
After this set permissions to chmod 644 reboot and your good to go :thumbup:

New to rooting. Applications aren't working.

Recently rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. As of now I'm running Cyanogen Mod 10. Before that I was using Cyanogen Mod 9.0. However I've experienced the same issue with both roms. My favorite apps wouldnt open. However Google play store works so I figured its not my gapps.
1) Spotify- just shows a blank screen nothing else.
2) Evernote- not able to create the database file and tells me to restart the device and make sure my memory card isn't full.
3). Lecture Note- App needs a directory at the media/shared/external storage (SD card) to store the notebook.
So just by searching the forum and not seeing much on the topic, I figured I missed something in the process.
I don't use titanium backup and neither am I familiar with it. But if I have to learn then please tell me so.
I've always wiped before flashing roms.
I know CM 10 is a nightly and all that jive but I really like it. But without apps working then it is useless for me.
Oh and not sure if this is related but every download from a hyperlink on a web page results in a download unsuccessful.

May be try to reflash rom again latest nightly for your specific device + flash gapps jellybean not ics + full wipe after flashing those (wipe cash+wipe dalvik cash in advanced options)
If not working so try wipe data of apps you want in setting
If not so send messages to developers may be their apps not compatible with jellybean need update

Netflix
My device P5113 4.04 stock
I rooted using this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1657056 but now netflix will load up, and I go to play a video and load forever then i get error 11003(note netflix works fine on my phone/ps3).
Does any body know a fix for this?
The original reason i rooted was to attempt to move the notification bar to the top (i hate it at the bottom b/c I constantly hit buttons). So i tried to do this:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18063-move-the-status-bar/
(1) download ES File Explorer
(2) go to settings and activate root explorer and mount r/w
(3) navigate to /system/
(4) click on build.prop and select "ES Note Editor"
(5) look for the line item called "ro.sf.lcd_density=160"
(6) edit it to read "ro.sf.lcd_density=161"
(7) exit and save the file
(8) reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and I broke android(would not boot, go only a black screen) b/c i added this to the file, because i didn't find it, so i had to reinstall.
So my other question is is there anyway to move the status/notification bar to the top? Im about to go back to stock but, i will root again if i can fix netflix.

Cant copy & paste

The whole copy & paste function is broken. When I select text and then copy whatever program I use it crashes and doesn't copy. Anyone else having this problem? Any solutions?

Same Here on Uk n8010 WIFI only model
This is a big problem on the Galaxy S3 that seems to be spreading to the Note 10.1. When I contacted Samsung support I was told,like the S3 users to do a factory restore! the other alarming issue is that the s3 Jellybean upgrade didn't stop the issue coming back a month or so later. A ICS fix is to manuallydelete all clipboard folder files but that requires root access!
As I'm not happy rooting under warranty I'm hoping a script can be written' like a windows batchfile in command line mode to run a clean cashe script for said folder on non - rooted Note & S3's but that beyond my skills?
I had issues like this where I would get reboots when I tried accessing my clipboard. I found a temp fix was deleting the clipboard in the/data folder, then fix permissions in recovery. After that my clipboard would work again, but then every now and then it would stop and I'd have to do it again. I haven't had any issues lately though since I've been on the redemption ROM
same on GT-N8000
I've met this same problem recently on my stock GT-N8000.
The problem is also addressed here and here.
copied text from an email from gmail pasted it on snote, sms, calender app no problem whatsoever. may be you have installed an application which is causing the crashes for me it works like a charm

Copy / Paste not working

Recently my copy / paste function won't work. When I try to copy text in Chrome, the stock browser or Evernote the app crashes. When in Gmail, stock email app or any other app I can copy but when I go to paste the option to paste doesn't appear. Anyone else experience this? I have a 8013 stock, not rooted.
Thanks!

I'm having the exact same problem. Mine is the 8010 stock not rooted. At first i thought it was because i use Swype. I took Swype off and then i purchased Swift Key for Tablets and still didn't work. I then went to the stock keyboard and same result.
I looked at various foroums and google search and no clear answer to be honest.

I'm not sure, but probably your problem is related with the notorious and infamous clipboard bug.
Here, here and here there's some more info.
did you try clearing the cache as all that you copy is stored in memory and never deleted so maybe it is full and causing the error

Looks like you've hit the nail on the head. Sucks there is no way to fix without a factory reset or rooting. I may try flashing the German JB ROM and see if that wipes the cache clear.
If it were just a cache issue, we'd try to wipe it by using the option included in the bootloader menu......
Was just thinking a cache may work as a stack...... and a stack should abide by the FIFO rule..... if so, it's pretty much unlikely to be full at all.....
Quick update. I used the Exyonus exploit app to root the device. Using Root Explorer I cleared everything in the data/clipboard folder, went back to the exploit app to unroot and the copy / paste function is back and my settings show a stock "normal" device. Took less than 5 minutes and worked like a charm.
