It works. You are doing it wrong. The paste icon is greyed out. I've already gave detailed instructions to press in the field that you're typing in then this comes up.
this might sound crazy, but I actually know how to troubleshoot and use modern technology
I assure you Ive tried every configuration for copy/paste
I even posted about this a few months ago Im pretty sure. If it really does work for everyone else, then I will reset my phone or something, cause it just doesnt work on mine.

Would you be interested in One Plus One for $180.00 : P
Anyway, I just can't bring myself to buy Galaxy phone. It's pretty and got great camera but I really don't need the bloated skin on top no matter what they say. I ordered One Plus 3, while I wish it run Cyanogen (since it's now practically litter with Microsoft product, latest update even integrate Skype beside Cortana) but Oxygen OS will do.
I have been running my Android with Arrow Launcher (Microsoft launcher on Android) It's nice and minimalist and so far it's great. The last update for Outlook is awesome and with Sunrise team it's looking to be great Mail / Calendar app.

has calmed down a bit.
It works for everyone else as the other posters described, with the long press.

Fast ring here and it doesn't work for me either. I wind up having to retype everything that I want to post.

It didn't for me now that I think about it. It was on GAF only though.

Seems I will have to change phones in July... Pokemon GO will make me move to a Priv again
Ended up canceling my Lumia 650 order before it shipped. Found my old Blackberry Z30 that I thought I gave to my dad as a temp phone. I'll probably keep using it till the Surface Phone or BlackBerry Priv successor comes out. No official Whatsapp, Instagram or FB is pretty shitty, but there is a good unofficial FB and Instagram app (with the option to download Android versions with a tiny bit of work). Battery seems to have gone to shit though, lasts half as long as I remember it lasting.
Honestly surprised at how fast it still is. iPhones and Android devices from the same era seem way slower. Shame that BB10 and Windows Phone appear to be disappearing. I really dislike Android and iOS in every way apart from their app support.

Opera is available on WP now.
It really sucks. Scrolling performance is poor and websites load quite slow. Is this an automatic port of the iOS version?

Ever since the last fast ring update came out my phone wont connect to my home wifi, every other wifi device in my house can connect, just not my phone. I tried deleting the wifi conections in my phone and reconnecting but that didnt work. What can I do to fix this?
I think you know what must be done.

Reset worked thanks.
*willingly
Apparently it is slow to come out. Should be soon.
Also, that Thurrott thread on the gaming side is painful. Can't go back in there.
Just got the Groove update. Seems neat so far. And yeah, gaming side is nutso right now.
Sweet. It is almost tempting me to go back to the Insider Builds.
Speaking of Groove, the integration with Forza Horizon 3 is awesome.

iOS one says that the last update was in September. So glad I didn't renew and picked up Apple music instead. Desktop client, synced playlists, and merging my collection with their cloud library. It's like Zune pass never left!

They also have Surface Pro 4s. I don't think it's an official sponsored partnership and more of a regular business deal.
But the phones fit the Scuderia really well.
Groove really is nice now. The Your Groove section is a nice addition.
Windows Maps has added some nice things. You can keep multiple searched items on the map at once. Used it today as the wife and I went to various estate sales around the area. Having multiple on the map at once helped us determine the best next one to go to. They also added selecting from multiple routes on the map(I think that was added recently, can't recall though).
This is the one app that must be ported to everything. Seriously, how the hell people can contribute to an exclusive platform map app?
Pity the black is so uninspiring. The strong, bold colours of old would've looked great. Like the red 920.

Yeah, it was a few days after iOS Android. It is slightly different icon since it is transparent. App works nice.

That's pretty awesome.
Google maps offline isn't that great though. Here on Android is much better.
Does Here have traffic condition detection?

How does Here compare to Microsoft Maps?
I've never used here with an Internet connection. I'll use Google if I do, so no idea how Here will handle changes in traffic.
It's a lot more polished. Much nicer UI.

I was surprised how good Microsoft maps has gotten when I used the Windows 10 version. I thought they had given up on it like the other stuff but even the poi information seemed very updated.
Bing/Here/Windows whatever data is being used, is the only maps that actually gives directions to my house correctly. The wife and I have both contacted Google and Apple to correct the directions they give but it never sticks. Granted, we live off a dirt road, but Windows Maps handles it just fine. It is tiresome having to take calls from pizza guys, delivery guys(FedEx and LaserShip mainly), etc to tell them the correct directions. Generally I have to leave short messages in the delivery info box (@3 mailboxes turn right, last house), lol. Never helps though. I always ask them what maps app they use when they eventually get here.
