Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

As per This post on jolla.together. The next update is early June.

Good news is that this brings 4G to all users.

I do actually prefer a big well tested and full of new features updates.

They need to fix WiFi support for for all WPA types. Can't connect at home or at work currently :(

Copy and paste...

Delayed.

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

Great news :) the biggest problem i have by far with Jolla will be fixed in next update

We have now fixed the following w.r.t reboot issues which will be delivered with the next update

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

@Leinad
I think a "paper under battery" solves it in predominant majority of cases. And the fix included is "less sensitivity to sudden power consumption peaks" which is a SW work-around for the paper trick :) But anyway - great!

Interesting. Seems as if copy and paste works in some places but not universally. For instance copy and paste works in Notes and I can copy and paste a url in browser. However I am unable to copy and paste text from email in the default Email app or text from an article in the default Browser app. Is that the case for everyone? Perhaps I need to change a setting somewhere? Anyways, I have found that on the android side of the Jolla phone you can cut and paste in the yahoo mail and on an android browser I sideloaded (Boat Browser). Also there is a nice android alternative to Notes you might consider called Notebooks that sets up a bookshelf of your notes. Looks nice. The down side is that I can't cut and paste something on the android side to the default Jolla apps. Would be nice if there was a clipboard that lets you copy something from Jolla app to android and vice versa.

@Dave999 Don't want to start something but there are a growing number of conspiracy theorists that believe cut and paste was omitted from Jolla phone because they know it is the most often used tool by you as you troll these threads. However, I want to go on the record and say that I don't believe a word of it...

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

Yes it is. Cut and paste is not implemented system wide. Jolla are introducing it on an app by app basis.

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

Me neither. Jolla don't have a clue how to do it thread safe.

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

That is not really true. It IS implemented system wide, not on any app by app basis. You can copy text from every selectable text field in the system (the problem is that fields in the browser are currently not selectable, but that is the problem of the browser, not the copy/paste system). If you develop an app, it is already there, you don't need to implement anything.
In the e-mail, the text is not editable, therefore not selectable (not having non-editable selectable text boxes looks like current limitation of QtQuick, so they might have to implement it in Silica).

I don't see Android as a part of the system, but sure, it would be nice to implement some type of sharing functionality between those two clipboards (optional though - I don't want Android apps to be able to access my clipboard, I'm glad they are separated).

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

I already tried debunking the copy/paste myth in the experience thread. It's not complicated. You can't currently select text in non-input fields and some browser fields. How they solve that will be interesting given the heavy use of gestures and long presses already.

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

Ok. So am I correct to assume that the cut and paste will be expanded on an app by app basis? In otherwords cut and paste does not depend on the Jolla phone updates but the developer of the app implementing that feature. The way it is done on the android app is nice in that a long press gives you two brackets to surround the text you want to copy or cut. Also I still think transfering text between android and Jolla apps would be good. Just need to create tmp file with r/w access for both. Andoroid does have access to some files under Nemo. For example I have the Android app Poweramp playing videos stored in Nemo/Videos.

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

No, I don't think it will require apps to be changed. It's a system wide change. The two standouts however might be the browser which is a wrapper on gecko and Android.

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

copy & paste between native and android apps worked from the first version, it has the same limitation like between native apps: you need a text field to copy.

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

I think this is pretty much the root cause. IIRC the same limitation was already there in QtQuick 1.0/1.1 and the Harmattan Qt Components had some pretty horrible hacks to work around it. So Silica will most probably have to do something similar, at least until the Qt upstream adds the needed bits (no idea if that is planed or someone is working on it).

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

Hi Leinad. Are you sure this is correct? If I copy text from android and then try to paste it in a native (Jolla) app the only thing I can paste is what was previoulsy in the clipboard when using a Jolla app.
I'm sure I'm about to have a "Doh!" moment but how do you do it? Thanks!

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

oh sorry, i guess, it only works from native to android. i never used it the other way around

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

Hmmm, doesn't work either way for me. What did you copy from and to? Might help me figure out what I am doing wrong.

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

Doing wrong? Copy and paste is not somethimg you should figure out. The system doing it wrong. And lets hope we get copy and paste soon.

lets hope it will be in july update 8

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

for me it worked with every combination of apps i tried, even complete sms. but you need to use the paste button on the keyboard, not the Android paste button.

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

Assuming this is an offical answer then it is app by app!

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

Are you using a different keyboard than default? I don't see a paste button on mine. If it is an optional layout how do I get it? Thanks!

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

i don't use any special keyboard... when i copy some text from native notes app for example and then open an android translation app, the clipboard appears on top of the keyboard, see screens. and this works in every android app...

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

Ok. you ready.... Doh! I missed that entirely as I was blinded by how I had gotten used to doing cut and paste on android. Thanks again!

Re: Updates 6 and 7 combines and now expected early Jun
 

Colour me surprised! I'd have thought copying text from non-input fields would be a system feature. Perhaps they just have to make sure whatever selection gesture they use doesn't conflict with in-app gestures.

There is of course no copy gesture. Selections are automatically copied to the clipboard.
