[Q] "the clipboard history was cleared" - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've noticed a strange issue, and I'm curious if there's a fix or workaround.
Here's what I'm doing:
1. Open Google now and search
2. Highlight text in the results with a long press and some tap and dragging
3. Tap the copy icon in the clipboard tab at the top.
4. Receive the toast "the clipboard history was cleared"
And indeed, what I just copied will not be I'm the clipboard. Any way to fight this weird Google Now behavior?
Problem solved! The culprit was the xposed module " Secure Samsung Clipboard"

You have any xposed mods? I've seen settings for that in those before.

Affirmative. I don't see anything in Wanam or gravitybox that looks like the right thing.
I expect there's a xposed fix for it...just can't find it. And if there isn't, it's a prime candidate for one!

It sounds like you are using xposed with the Secure Samsung Clipboard module. I use it and see that exact message.

Nope. Not using that mod and haven't ever used it. I am on a Note 3 though.

what ROM are you running? It may be something baked in by the Dev maybe.... just a shot in the dark.

Stock 4.4.2 from OTA, towelrooted. I believe this behaviour was in place before I re-rooted, after the OTA. I believe it's just the default way for GEL/Google Now to behave. I'm guessing the toast being shown is from the Burnt Toast xposed mod I'm using.
But the issue of the clipboard being cleared is, I believe, not due to a mod. I'm looking to change the default behaviour with a mod, or figure out if anyone is doing that already.
It just seems might odd to me that the clipboard function will pop up and sorta work, but Google makes the clipboard dump, preventing you from using it.

Sorry! I did eventually figure this out--it was an xposed mod I still had installed from before the OTA: Secure Samsung Clipboard. Disabled and the problem went away.

a voice comes up when editing folders in drawer

Hi guys.
I flashed RR v7 on my note (so ICS).
Maybe I have got a hidden setting I didn't know the existence before.
If I put in edit mode the app drawer to manage my apps in folders, when I open or close the folders there's a synthetic voice telling "folder opened, folder closed" plus something else....
Am I wrong? Any suggestion? I want to get rid of that. Only doing this operation I hear that. Really annoying. I did not check anything in voice settings...
Thanks.
Check System Setting > Accessibility for a Voice Over feature. Turn everything off in that menu, might be it.
Thx mate. Already checked and everything is off. In my opinion is due to the custom ROM I have. In fact it is the only place of the entire phone where I have such voice "help". There must be some hidden recall to voice function active on that. Quite annoying but I can survive.
Thanks for your reply.

I had this 'bug' using the new galaxy s3 launcher. I've reverted back to stock launcher before i found the cause of it.
Hope this leads you in the right direction
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Mate, you are right.
I changed the default s3 touchwiz with the classic one and the "bug disappeared".
So it is related to the new touchwiz itself.
Thanks so much to have given to me the right tip.
Cheers!
You mean feature lol

Feature? Yes if it would be a thing I can choose..
Not this case...
I had a similar problem but was triggered by my 'Iphone Notifications' app, it looks like apps enable under 'Settings/Accessibility/Services' can trigger this wierd behaviour in touchwiz, i disable iphone notifications and the 'Folder Opened' voice goes away, I enable it and it comes back.
If you disable any Text to speech (TTS) apps installed, usually have a Google one and a Samsung one installed in Stock ROMS, the problem should disappear. Its a well documented problem with Google Talkback.

back button LED for notifications, anyone?

FWIW, I FOUGHT WITH THIS FOR A WEEK AND GOT NO WHERE. THE TASKER PROFILE LISTED IN THE REDDIT THREAD BELOW WORKS GREAT ON MY ROOTED PHONE. ALSO, LIGHTFLOW WORKED ON MY ROOTED PHONE. SO I AM JUST GOING TO ASSUME THIS REQUIRES ROOT
So, i have been searching and reading and asking around and I STILL cannot get the power button LED to light up with notifications.
I have lightflow installed
I have the notification and accessability settings turned on for the app
I have back button led 1 and 2 turned on
I have them turned to "always" on for notifications (I dont expect it to pulse)
I have the brightness set at 255 (But i have tried all other numbers in between)
I am NOT rooted
I am on stock 4.4.2
all other LED notifications seem to be working just fine and are the colors/speeds I set them to.
anyone able to get it working? not sure what else I can try to get it working.
if you have it working on stock rooted 4.4.2 let me know what options you have checked and unchecked in the "settings" page.
guess I'm the only one with this problem eh? lol
I didn't think it did light up. Only time mine does is when unlocking the screen.

Haha, on AOSP ROMs I used tasker to run a script that changed the values in the file that controlled the 2 back LEDs to 255 when I got a notification. Then it cleared the file, and so on until I turned the screen on.
I don't remember it exactly, and I'm pretty sure it would need root.

by default it only works for a couple apps. others have had success with the latest lightflow app, but I haven't

interesting, I poked around for a bit in tasker and didn't see anything in there for the back buttons. if you happen to come across this, or remember it, please let me know.
edit: i found the profile on Reddit to do this. going to give it a try in a little bit
Oh, please link me the reddit profile. It is probably better than mine. Haha.
Edit: Found my profile. I set it to trigger at a notification event. Works for me. (Remove the .txt at the end if you want to load it into tasker and look at it).

here is the reddit thread. looks like it requires Root so I didn't even try it.
http://www.reddit.com/r/lgg2/comments/20769k/how_to_use_tasker_to_control_the_back_button_led/
but thanks for your profile. I loaded it, and it isn't giving me any errors, but I'm still not getting it to work. I have it set to trigger when a notification event happens...I set Hangouts to the "owner application" and still not getting it working.....I have almost given up on this working without root.
thanks for you help though. if you think of anything, I would greatly appreciate any help, but dont bend over backwards for me...haha

How to get rid of the "slide to unlock/fast charging" lockscreen message?

I've been looking around online and have had no success.
I don't want to to use any lockscreen apps, I've tried many of them.
I'm rooted and have xposed installed still I have yet to come across any app or module which gets rid of this annoying text.
Any ideas?
searched for ages for an solution to this problem:
only solution:
Xposed --> Custom Text
With the app you can change every letter in every app on every site very easily. just click on lock screen search for the sentence you want to change and delete all letters. now nothing appears anymore

Thanks for the reply man, I was beginning to lose hope.
I'm trying to find the name of the process/app which holds the lockscreen text. Do you happen to remember what it was called?
EDIT- Found it! Its systemui. The mod works mostly, and I was able to remove that pesky text. Thanks a lot!

what the heck is screen overlay detected on axiom 7

It about stops me from doing uploading pictures, downloading. It's driving me crazy anyone else having this problem?
Yea lots of people are. Anything that changes the status of the screen like some kind of screen filter like twilight, night owl, any of those things, can mess with this. It's been pretty annoying. I have Twilight set to a timer to eliminate blue light on the screen before sleeping and I have to freeze and defrost it several times a day. Apparently it's an issue with ZTE. There is a thread over there about it.

I guess that it should actually be a security feature to prevent an overlay app from abusing any open apps below it... but it is really annoying that the ZTE integrated feature Mi-POP will also make this warnings display... you can simply deactivate it through its notification bar shortcut but it's still annoying...

I'm going to guess you have MiPop enabled? is so turn it off and your screen overlay issue might go away.

Screen overlay is new in 6.0 to prevent apps from creating an overlay and giving permissions to themselves. It's not an issue with ZTE.
Yes screen overlay is new. Came from a N6 and never had this problem on stock 6.0 from Google. Facebook messenger will not do anything other than message can't call, or send pictures. Yes it is a problem with ZTE

Go to the "Apps" setting, and then click on the "gear-shaped" setting button to go to the "Draw over other apps" menu and turn off all apps that are enabled. Go back to the "Apps" setting and click on the app that needs permissions modified. When all the permissions are updated, go back and enable the "Draw over other apps" for those apps you disabled.
Use this app it will get rid of that annoying overlay issue.

How can i remove this?

I was using AppLock and now i uninstalled it but i am still having this lock sign at recent apps, i don't need it how can i remove it.
What the lock sign (as indicated in the screenshot) does is to pin applications to prevent a specified application from closing. If you were to tap the icon sign on an application such as YouTube, you will notice that when you press the "Clear all" button or try to manually clear the application it will be unsuccessful. The lock sign has no relation to AppLock at all.

Actually I think you're right, I just checked one of my stock samsung devices.
Another feature Samsung removed, it certainly exists on my other non Samsung device.
Looks like it's an AOSP feature.

Yup, i don't recognize it as a "feature" as i don't think it has much functionality, since i never open more than 5 apps, it is much easier to just swipe those that i want to close and leave the one i want, than locking the app and clicking clear all.
