    Clipboard doesn't save copied text.

    Actually I think I just found my replacement keyboard hidden in plain view. The Samsung keyboard holds at least 36 clips afaict. I guess it's using an native clipboard already in the system because some of these clips are days old. There are some other features that I like as well but it...

    Thanks, already did that.

    Clipboard doesn't save copied text.

    What I described is on my laptop. I'm not looking for all of that functionality on my phone but what is offered in the keyboards is pitiful. I can't fathom why they would go backwards from the more user friendly version that used to be the case. Phones generally have more memory and storage...

    Clipboard doesn't save copied text.

    I use Ditto Clipboard on my laptop. It's very configurable and one of the options I choose is to save the last 500 clips. The clips are also searchable and it's incredibly useful. I'm not looking for 500 clips out of an android keyboard but having them disappear in an hour or two seems like a...

    Clipboard doesn't save copied text.

    I was looking into clipboard apps but it doesn't seem like they would interact with Gboard. In other words, I'd have to leave Gboard to access the clips. I'm not sure about that but was assuming I'd need a keyboard app with decent clipboard capability. I'll look into this one later when I...

    Clipboard doesn't save copied text.

    Maybe, but as the OP pointed out, Gboard didn't used to work that way and the change is not an improvement. I'm looking for a more user friendly keyboard now even though I'm used to Gboard.

    I assume everything clipped is just saved on the native phone storage... what would be the reason for Gboard to limit clips like that? It didn't used to be the case.

    Clipboard doesn't save copied text.

    That takes too many steps. Copy something, open clipboard, long-press the copy, choose "pin". I copy a lot of items and to do that for every one would be awkward to say the least.

    Clipboard doesn't save copied text.

    I'm faced with the same issue as the OP since I changed phones and the OS updated. One hour is ridiculously short imo. Is there a way to change that amount. Is there a way to increase the number of clips? If I turn off Gboard's clipboard completely, will I be able to use a different...

    Looks like I need a new keyboard

    I'm not sure what keyboard I'm using on my S7 but it's gone haywire for speech to typing for some time now. My name is John and it always inputs "Jon" no matter how many times I correct it. It puts "Butt" for but, "dot dot dot" for ... and recently it's started putting "oh" in front of , when...

    Should I install the Oreo update?

    Not sure why, but there's no update available for my phone yet. So far, it a moot point for me.

    Should I install the Oreo update?

    My GF's S7 updated and she said it was a pita. She had to re-do settings on her apps and at least one app no longer works. I was just thinking to avoid the hassle. It doesn't seem to be an option for me at this point anyway so might be moot. I also just cracked the back of the phone badly...

    Should I install the Oreo update?

    Well that's one workaround but isn't there a setting of some kind to disallow ota updates?

    Should I install the Oreo update?

    I'm trying to figure out if there are any substantial advantages. I'll just stick with the old version if there's really not going to be much of an upgrade. I already use Textra. Is there a way to make sure I don't upgrade automatically?

    Should I install the Oreo update?

    I have the g930vvru4bqg1 version and the update isn't available to me apparently. I only knew it existed because my GF got it on her S7. Not sure I want it with what I've been reading. I pretty much hate learning curves and I don't want to have to reset a lot of settings on my phone. Is...
