Copy and Paste

Where are you trying to move your files?

If within the phone (folders), you can use a file explorer app to move them. You don't need to copy/paste, the file explorer app will let you choose the entire file.

What phone do you have?
What Android version?

   I just realised the one very important Windows function Android seems incapable of doing is Copy and Paste. So how are we supposed to move files from one place to another. I can do this by linking my tablet to a PC. But that is rather a 'comedown' needing another PC with Windows to achieve it.

   I have a fairly old reconditioned Asus Android Google Nexus 7 I am very happy with.
   
   I should have also mentioned the bigger problem of trying to copy then paste text and images such as from files held on say Google Drive.

  Just copied and pasted this page. Try long pressing on the text you would like to copy. A window should open with choices you could experiment with. Once copied, long pressing the intended text box should result in a choice to paste. Good luck.

 

Depends on the phone, you could have a file explorer app in it. Samsung phones have My Files. It can copy and paste files and move them between folders in the phones.

 

If you're speaking of a clipboard app,try this:

Files held in Google Drive are technically not in your phone. You have to download them first. Then you can see them in File Managers.

 

ASUS File Manager is a neat app, you really need to try it.

it will do the copy paste thing, to a network, or to a different folder on the SD card, or to internal storage, I have tried all of the options and it just flat out works.

* File Manager ASUS - Android Apps on Google Play

it is a lot easier to use than ES File Explorer or the other file managers I have tried, and uninstalled.

 

Skype-Out calls will usually show as international or unknown number. It won't show your BT landline number because you're not using it when doing VOIP calls originated from Skype. You can "rent" a real phone number from Skype, and that will show, instead of unknown number, it's called Skype-In I think. And people can ring it as well.
