S planner copy and paste no longer exist - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Coming from note 2. Hard to believe that the copy and paste function is removed in note 4. I used to copy and paste the same routine instead of reenter them in the calendar. Now i can only do that in the desktop version by duplicate event, which is not as simple as copy and paste. Is there any other way to do that?

Quite few features from Note 2 are no longer present on Note 4 : smart stay, location setting in alarm for example.

App Launcher

I have done some searching and cannot seem to find anything, please feel free to sarcastically point me in correct direction if i am wrong.
are there any favourite app launchers, e.g. a 1x1 program/widget than when clicked opened your 4, 8, 16 best apps (customizable) thus saving white space without having to scroll through all prorams to get to U etc?
Many thanks in anticipation

There are a few... I use Apps Organizer to arrange under manual icons and labels. Clicked once it opens a layer on the same screen with all the chosen app shortcuts in there. The most major limitation being that it cannot arrange widgets into such "folders".

You could just create a folder and drag app icons into it?
or you could just do that, sorry getting to grips with this phone still.
creating a folder works surprisingly well, many thanks

Another option
Another option is Ultimate Faves which lets you select favourite apps or contacts and scroll between the two.

Try emailing the apks to yourself. That's what I do and it works well.

Even easier if you have the Dropbox app on both devices.
If you want to use bluetooth, below is one way of doing it:
- install ES File Manager ("ESFM") on both devices
- Enable Bluetooth on both and pair the devices
- Start ESFM (both devices) Menu -> Settings -> Layout Settings and make sure that "Remove Bluetooth" is unchecked. (By default it is checked).
- Go to the Bluetooth Tab in ESFM on the device you want to transfer the files TO**
You should see the other ("FROM") device.
(Multi-) Select, Copy (in the Bluetooth Tab in ESFM), then switch to the Local tab & Paste.
** I think you will see a brief Toast notification that ESFM has started a server process of some sort; can't remember if it happens on both devices. In principle this is symmetric, so you should be able to transfer files in either direction.
cheers
Make a backup, email it to yourself, restore backup. This is done with titanium backup if you have root

recommended shortcuts

How can I customize what apps are suggested when I plug in my headphones? The Note 2 had buddy pages that were customizable but I can't figure put the S4 options. Also when I place the S4 in the Samsung doc it a pop up menu asks what app you want to run and gives you several options.how do I add the apps that I want
I don't think you can. It automatically figures it out for you

Gallery question & issue with Docs to go

In both my S3 & S4 I was able to label a picture in my gallery from any one of my albums a favorite picture making it easier to find a picture i wanted. I can't seem to find that option in my S5. Is this feature gone?
Also, I cannot open any type document files on my phone. I was able to open files on my S4 and I haven't changed the Microsoft Office program I use to normally create or edit files. I keep getting the error THIS FILE CANNOT BE OPENED BECAUSE IT IS NOT A VALID MS WORD 97-2011 FILE. This error happens with word, ppt, & excel files I try to open. Anyone else get this error. Thanks in advance

[Q] how do file managers retain listview

In most of the file managers present on Google play. when we open a folder and then go back,list view is automatically scrolled to the position from where folder was opened. So either the scroll position or whole list view is saved. I want to ask how this can be implemented?

yes, there are a few ways to do it, probably the easiest is just storing the scroll position yourself, much info on SO about this if you google... also complex views like listView save their own bundles too iirc
