I take it you haven't tried any of the above fixes?

So I ended up hard resetting the phone. Which was a big hassle since it didnt restore my apps and app data.

But...

One week later, it happens again! :-( I guess I will have to root my phone now since I don't like resetting it again.

Unless anyone else has a solution.

Guess it looks like it is time to root. I don't cut and paste often but when I do, I like it to work.

I rooted and put Beans Custom Stock ROM on that used Touchwhiz, but a week later it did the same thing as well. I haven't had the time to back up and find a new ROM that I would want to run because this one runs so smooth.

Considering it's the only problem I have and the phone works pretty amazing on Bean's ROM, I might try to install it without Touchwhiz to see if that's the problem.

I've rooted my phone and now when I try to copy and paste "this functionality is not supported on your device" pops out. What should I do?

You ^ have to follow the steps using your file manager to delete the proper clipboard files and force stopping the test services app...then reboot and the clipboard should work. .it did for me...

Worked fine, thanks!

The entire data folder is empty or just /data/clipboard? If the former then you are not properly rooted.

I also have these 2 problems: the test service error and can't copy and paste. Pretty sure they're related! Tried to do root explorer method but the clipboard folder is empty and really don't want to do a factory reset

Same for me. The Jellybean update appears to have fixed this problem for me. Hopefully it stays that way!

Hey
I have the same issue I can copy but I can't paste, this happened after the new Samsung update but I think
It might be an issue with SwiftKey as im using it as well, if you can report this to SwiftKey I will too and hopefully they will sort it out as I can't live without SwiftKey.
See if you can revert back to standard keyboard, restart phone and let me know if you have the same issue.

Cheers

Dan

Install History Eraser from Google Play and clear the Clipboard....and walla you can copy paste again....

**Lizzardking** · 02-05-2013, 04:32 PM

But when you root don't you loose everything anyway.... Just like with factory reset??

You said you always get FC's, what are FC's?
I always get nothing, the little blue selection arrow-bars rarely work, ansd on rare occasion when one does the other won't. It's virtually impossible to copy anything except if you're patient, the icon to copy the whole thing arrives -sometimes- and you can then try to insert the whole thing and trim. Android does seem to be a pretty total let down all around. Can't understand the hype, It just has more problems than advantages. On my crummy BB I could at least make calls w/ voice cammand while driving, and never had to worry about getting on line because it just didn't most of the time.
