Xperia Z5 :: Text Selection Not Working In Some Apps On Phone
Jul 3, 2010
I love my new Z5 compact but it seems to me that Sony changed some stuff regarding text selection (I guess due to the text lense they added). Beside that I don't really need a lense (who does?) it changes the behaviour and leads to some really annoying limitations when working with documents in some apps.
Example: Evernote (because I guess many users use it)
Try to select more then one line text :-) Works on several other old and new Android devices... not on my Z5 compact sadly.
As of a few weeks ago I noticed my phone would randomly restart, I didn't think much of it until one day it shut off, restarted, and then it was locked and would not unlock no matter how long I held the side button down for, plugging it into the charger did nothing. I ended up having to let the phone just die and recharge it once it had died. I could deal with all of that, but today I noticed after it had some sluggish responses to me wanting to unlock the screen (it would stay locked and not respond to button presses until i waited around 2 or 3 minutes after hitting the button initially).
I tried to use several applications, the appstore, snapchat, youtube, and i got little to no activity from any of them. Never ending loading from just about all, or no activity whatsoever from the appstore, yet the net browser and facebook/ etc worked just fine. And to top it all off, I noticed my battery draining at an alarming rate, maybe 10% every 30 minutes even with nearly no applications running or open.
When using the anchors for copy/paste, or simply clicking to position the cursor, when I lift off my finger after finalizing the position, it will slide to the left or right a spaceIt's extremely difficult to position it exactly where I want it.
The settings and apps selection icon appear on every home screen panel. I don't want either on my main home screen panel as I keep hitting them when my phone is in my pocket and end up with stuff added or changed. I want them gone even if that means they are gone from every home screen panel.
I can see and mark all contacts on my contact list while in "To" when creating a new text message. However the "Ok" button is missing on the left lower corner of the screen while "Back", on the right, is active. I can type in recipients, though this is tedious when I need to select multiple recipients. Further probing brought up another problem - I can see all my contacts on my phone but cannot find the contact folder nor can I backup my contacts.
Is there any way to copy and paste a full selection (not just the text)? Is there any way to create an email group with exchange and have it selectable in my contacts?
When I search for someone with a home, work and mobile number I'm only ever going to text the mobile (or iPhone) numbers. Anyone know of a way to filter it so that only they show up? I'm assuming it would be possible to tweak that on a jailbroken phone.
I am trying to get into the setup for my Hotmail Account and when I select the option for Internet Mail Account to get into the "settings" it does not move forward. But if I select Enterprise Account it moves on to the next screen...I have reset the blackberry and it still does not allow me to get into The Internet Mail Account!
In the menú Sound and notifications -> ringtone for the call of phone, i have select "forever" to search with file commander a ringtone, and now i can't see the list of the ringtones installed in the phone.How can undo the "forever" selection?
I wanted to do a night shot and went in manual mode and "SCN". But the "SCN" button was greyed out. After some fiddling around i found out that SCN is only available in manual mode if camera resolution is set to 8MP..
Tapping on a word highlights the word, as expected. But the "tabs" NEVER appear to allow for sliding left/right over a selected word. Instead, the phone now prompts me to copy, cut or paste. I only get a single TAB that doesn't have a left & right sliding ability - just 1 solid block of a TAB. This happens in every app, including the Google search bar, Gmail, Docs to Go, Note Everything, or any other program with a text entry field.
Something changed - after the initial SOAK, this behavior was working as expected - and I actually liked it. But I did a "Clear Cache" as a test for some other users having other issues, and now that (slideable tab) feature is GONE. I can't find a setting to enable it or bring it back.
Ever since the latest updates, when using the Contacts App and the Xperia International Keyboard, the soft keyboard does not close itself when the user makes a selection inside the app.
HOW TO REPRODUCE: Open Contacts AppClick on search icon (magnifiying glass)Soft keyboard opens -> start typing contact nameClick on contact name in the filtered list
EXPECTED RESULTS: Upon clicking on the contact name in the filtered list, the soft keyboard should automatically close and the contact's info page should open.
I'M SEEING INSTEAD: Upon clicking the contact name in the filtered list, the contact's info page is opening, but the soft keyboard is also staying open covering up the contact's info page.
WORKAROUND: The only workaround I can see for now is to hit the soft "back" button (which appears as a "down" button when the keyboard is open) to close the soft keyboard before actually selecting the contact from the list. Then select the contact from the list.
If you select the contact before hitting the "back" (or "down") button, and try hitting the "back" (or "down") button with the contact page already opened, instead of closing the keyboard it will close the contacts page and the keyboard will stay open (unless you close the keyboard first, you'll be stuck in an infinite loop of selecting and closing the contact, and the keyboard would be open the whole time).
I have made a screen recording to showcase this bug in action: [URL] ....
I have the X10 mini how to get the speech to text apps to work? I have the speech to text app and when I open it it recognises what I says but only puts text in its own software, how do I use it for text messages etc.
when I open any apps that requires internet connection while using HSDPA , 3G, like the facebook for android it just signing in. and then error same for market when I log-in my e-mail. "Can't establish reliable. but when tested my internet using the browser it works fine. actually fast but when using apps the internet is not working
I have updated my Xperia active to ICS, and the apps are working fine on wifi but when is switch to 3G some of the apps (gmail and twitter) stop connecting to the internet. I don't want to have to reset the phone or repair it through PC companion in order not to lose all my data.
So I received a Canadian Rogers LG Xenon a couple days ago, I am not able to get any gmail apps to function on it (gmail, maps etc).After some troubleshooting I think it is because of the fact that the Access point settings in the phone are incorrect (read: not all entered)yet they are locked and not editable.For the rogers Internet Profile which is used for Application Data usage it did not have a user-name and password setup for the account.
I received this information from google: Access Point Settings for Rogers AT&T Carrier configuration tool: Address:internet.com Username:wapuser1 Password:wap DNS:207.181.101.4
When i look on the phone it does appear to have these settings (minus username/password which are blank) so.I tried to simply create a new Profile (new profile name also) to added the user-name and password but as soon as I enter the internet.com address the phone indicates that this access point already has a profile associated to it and you can not duplicate entries.Rogers Technical support also told me their "support" phone in the office was setup the exact same way and they could not edit it, and they do not 'support' gmail apps....I know other people have Rogers branded phones that are able to access gmail apps, could someone please verify if there accounts have the username and passwords set on their devices.The lady also said that the sim card is were this data is stored and that I should try putting my sim into a different phone to see if I could edit these settings there.....this doesn't sound correct to me, as this is my sim from my old phone were I manually entered all of these values.
This afternoon my speaker on my phone stopped working. I can not hear it ringing when someone call, but if I see someone calling and I answer the call they can hear me and I can hear them fine. I also can't not put the caller on speaker at all , I also can't hear my music or gaming apps. When I turn my phone on or off it does not make a sound as well. I have turned the phone off and turned it off by pressing the top button and home button at the same time and that did not work. I checked the volume and the mute button and the volume is up all the way.
My curve 9300 just randomly stopped working I cannot txt or receive texts or use bbm and when I try and make a phone call it says 7ut1 your phone is not activated on the network what does this mean and how can I fix it? I've tried taking out the battery.
Why there are two same app (i.e. CamScanner) on my phone??Can anyone teach me how to delect one of them without removing the whole app...I don't have wifi or free internet on my phone plan..
So i bought a xperia z2 not to long ago,everything has been fine until now,from out of no where the phone just started to restart itself for no reason,and suddenly whenever i try to do something on the phone i get the error notification that all the apps/programs on the phone has stopped working and the phone reboots and it has been going like that for maybe 2hours now.
Just bought a Xpeia Z2, First Android I've had!I've got all my music, videos and photos saved on my SD card..But the 16GB Internal memory is already half full from apps/games and I don't even have that many installed yet.How can I download apps to/Transfer apps to the SD card so I an use the whole 64GB of memory.
I have recently bought an xpeira z2, and from the getgo all it has done is give me problems, it will randomly crash almost every app. Randomly restart itself and for the most part is getting to be an unusable phone. Im thinking of just returning the phone.
