Question Copy/paste - ASUS ZenFone 8

Asus ZenFone 8
I'm having trouble
When I Receive a passcode and need to copy just the code , but what's happening is when i receive the code it's not underlined so I can copy that code and not the hole message. Iv never had this problem with my old Samsung s10e .
But with my new Asus ZenFone 8. I need to remember the code and enter it manually . Any suggestions would be great.

Pen & paper.

This has nothing to do with the phone. Some apps do not allow copying parts of text. Like messenger for example.
Check if you have the same version as of the app as on the Samsung.

note 4, facebook and some other questions

as i was considering the note 4 and contemplating between note 4 and lg [i think it was] g4, i had the problem with deciding becoz of one has fb on it, the other one no pen. [my carrier is t-mobile, although not in the us, i sit in the eu, but i don't think there are too many differences, hopefully]
which leads me to my problem.
1/ if i turn on the phone without sim or anything inside, and disable the apps i don't need/want, will they go dead, or will in the case of fb happen this:
[there would have been some links from android central where is described that fb-app updates itself outside of play even when disabled. that this is some kind of security issue, and that they told google about it, also fb about that, with the answer live with it or change your phone. they also told samsung about it. and that there is a samsung usa ticket for that: 2135760316 [that post is from 05-13-2015, 11:32 AM, by kelly kearns]. as it is impossible to post links, that's the only way i can put it here somehow]
so basically, there is no way to get rid of this useless thing, if i understand it correctly? and i have to accept, that even if disabled, it will still enable itself and update? therefore, next point ... if there is no account of that junk, does it still try to get every thing on the phone because of the permissions it has been granted, even if it is disabled?
therefore², if i disable an app, does that mean, its basically dead i.e. doesn't do anything compared to being enabled? or what does disable exactly mean?
[um, yes, i totally dislike fb, therefore ... you get my point]
1.1/ in one of the copied links above [or was it somewhere else] someone said something about an app that freezes other apps or something like that. might that have the desired effect for me?
1.2/ after putting in the sim and signing in to google ... what will that disabled fb do? or is it basically as said in the screenshot of that conversation ... you not liek, take other phone? [who are they? god? .... oh ... wait, actually ... given the ties to nsa ... nevermind]
2/ as this is my second android phone, so, if i add the google account on that phone, it copies every thing that's stored on the old one to the new one. but ... wot exactly happens with the apps it copies? are they still the same version as on the old phone or during the copying are they being updated? i'm asking, coz there are some i don't want to be updated, tune in for example [as i don't like the added social something and wotever came after my version]. or stays the app the same and i have to update it myself?
2.1/ regarding copying ... wot happens with my sms and call logs? and, can i decide what i want to be copied or is there no option of choice?
2.2/ same goes with the games i copy ... like the doctor who one from tiny rebel games. do i lose the current point where i am or not?
3/ is there any way to port or copy the s note from note 2 also over to note 4, or any chance to find the apk of it somewhere? it's just, that the note 4 version doesn't do idea note and sketch any longer, as those are the two templates i used most, as it is.
[eta] 3.1/ what about the dictionary and the handwriting? does it have to learn both from scratch or is it also going to be copied?
tnx a lot in forward for answering my questions,
meh

Regardless of whichever phone you get. Just go ahead of root it and use Titanium Backup or another root App. I personally use Rom Toolbox because it's App Manager lists the apps by APK name. Use an app like what I suggested to remove all the garbage you don't want.
I personally chose the Note 4 over the G4.
yes, i could root, but then i'll lose any ounce of warranty. i don't know when t-mob changed that, but that's how it is now ... and given my track record there might be a day when i might need it.

by note 4 to mate s: problems with evernote / s note

hello, I have the following problem.
I made the change from note 4 to hauwei mate s both with Android 5.1.1 and I can not change the notes in evernote. I try to explain better: for years use the app's notes, with which I edit of customer files (estimates and advances).
s account and the notes' synchronized with evernote. not having known s the mate's, I installed on the latter evenote.sono entered my evernotein account which I find all the notes previously saved. The problem 'that these notes open the mate's, me and displays them in .spd clicking formed above me opens in .jpeg displaying them as if they were photographs. my need, as described above, and 'to update these notes periodically (for example, entering any deposit left by the customer, as I did on notes 4), but the mate, I do not do' do.
at this point, I ask if anyone knows the method of operating the apk's notes on non samsung terminals ... I think it's the only solution.
The same question applies to s health, that 'if there is possibility' of use of non-Samsung terminals to meet up the data of the steps / activities' carried out that are memeorizzati in the backup.
the last request (s health) is not 'imperative. the previous one (s notes), instead, for business reasons you can imagine.
Thanks in advance

Samsung Notes sync to a Windows App?

Desired outcome: I want to be able to sit in meetings, taking notes on my phone, but then access them on my PC by whatever means possible.
Is there a way to sync the notes taken on my device with Samsung Notes with any windows app?
I have tried the S Note app in the windows app store. Doesn't work. And sucks big time even if it did.
OneNote maybe? Evernote? Or maybe Samsung has a surprise and it syncs with its own Samsung Notes windows app (if it existed).
S Note could sync to Evernote. I really miss that.
OneNote (the Android app) syncs fine (to OneNote, the desktop app), but I don't see a way to go straight to creating a new note in it from the S Pen shortcut menu. You can create a badge that does it; it floats on your display (similar to the S Pen floating icon), but it doesn't seem to integrate into the S Pen workflow.

S Note (NOT Samsung Note) still does it
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.samsung.android.snote&hl=en
So is there any way to get my current Samsung Notes over to SNote (or even Onenote)?
I can switch over but my old notes are still in Samsung Notes
I got to this old thread looking for something similar.
There is a windows 10 Samsung Notes APP.
What does not work for me is the freaking AUTOMATIC sync... i have to manually go into the options menu and hit sync both on the phone and on PC... kinda bad.
I can't install the app on my surface pro, says not compatible!
I primarily use Onenote on the desktop, but Samsung notes is a better app on the note 8.
If there are issues with finding a Windows app then try using Samsung DEX it turns your phone into a desktop.
That's like using a digger to crack a nut.
I think I'm just going to review my Workflow, treat the phone as more of a note pad and review my notes onto the desktop.

Me too.
Anyone knows a workaround to install Samsung Notes on a Surface Pro?
I wish to get "samsung notes" to work on my surface pro also
I have Samsung notes on my Note 8 and the Samsung Notes Windows 10 app on my Samsung Notebook 9 Pro. Works perfect and notes are synchronized back and forth.
Should work the same on Surface Pro.
Unfortunately, here's what I get on my HP desktop (Win 10 x64 latest build):
"This app is not compatible with this device."

Nope, Samsung Notes is not compatible with the Surface line for whatever reason.
Also not compatible with Lenovo X1 Carbon Yoga

I checked again Friday and it would install on my Surface Pro 4. The issue was it wouldn't sync with the SNote app on my Note 8.
I installed the SNote app on my Surface Pro 4 and also on my Note 8 and managed to get a first sync. It really is crap and I'm sticking with OneNote even though you can't use quick notes just by taking the pen out. The sync seems to take so long and sometimes there is a syn option in the Windows 10 menu and sometimes pressing the button asks if you want to deleted the account. I changed a note on my Surface and then opened the same note on my Note and no changes were made.

I think you're confusing 'S Note' and 'Samsung Notes'. They're two completely different apps.
Samsung Notes seems to be only compatible with S-Pen devices. So that's only Samsung devices then, I guess.
S Note is a different story and works on all PCs, but it's different from Samsung Notes and they don't share the same database, unfortunately.

Nope, look in the app store on either Android or Windows and you will find S Note that can install on any Android. Samsung Notes is what comes stock on all Samsung devices.

Sorry, I think you missed my main point. First, I don't know if Samsung Notes comes preinstalled on all Samsung devices. But Samsung Notes doesn't install on devices without S-Pen, which includes Microsoft's Surface Books. S Note is the old app, that is slowly being replaced by Samsung Notes. S Note does install on probably all devices, and doesn't require the S-Pen.
And this is the unfortunate part: you can't share data from Samsung Notes to PC, if you don't have a PC that is able to run Samsung Notes. Furthermore, Samsung Notes doesn't sync to Evernote as well. And that is annoying, because Samsung Notes is (among other things) the default app for "Screen Off Memo" and in general will become the default app for everything.
So: people would prefer to continue using S Note, but they're pushed towards Samsung Notes, which doesn't meet their needs.

Can not pin action memos to home screen any more

Experts,
I've been using an old version (5.2.04.25) of s-notes (not Samsung notes) for the well known issue that many people have of preferring it over Samsung notes.
One of main reason to use s-notes is the ability to pin any number of action memos to the home screen very easily and quickly . which was great, till now !
Some how it stopped working , even though the usual message "Action memo pinned to home screen and saved in S Notes" will flash , but it actually just saved in S-notes without pinning !
I wish I can track the changes in my device that triggered this, but I can't .
Any ideas?
Or any practical alternatives
regards,
Alternative: use Samsung Notes, as you can pin these notes to home screen as well!

But you can not pin them directly after you double tap with the s-pen , you will have to save them first and then open Samsung notes and only then you will be able to pin them......so not really practical
Works for me, as I do not pin many notes per day to my homescreen. If you do, I agree it is not practical...

I have exactly the same story - can't pin memos any more to my home screen of my Note8. It happened last month after i install Android software update provided by Samsung. Most likely the issue with memos is related to the increase of the security of Android OS. Unfortunately Android security updates can't be reverted. I think no one will be able to fix this ((
I'm having the same problem, so if someone has an answer, I'd be interested in knowing what it is.
Anyone found a solution?

Smart Text and Dialler

Hello,
Why does the smart text selection not work on this phone? I want to be able to open Google Maps when I select text from an email which was introduced with Oreo I think. I could do this on my Pixel 2.
Also is there a way to use the stock android dialler? Not a big fan of this one.
Thanks
Got the Google dialler APK from XDA and it works.
I've read the smart text is a pixel only feature. I hope there is a way to get it
I don't have the quote on hand, but I remember that feature being removed on a Samsung phone I once had, and the underlying reason was that a patent infringement had occurred so it needed to be removed. This might also be the case for the P30.
