  1. Actually yes, you can. You can use an app such as Clipper, which saves all your copied words and later recovers the content whenever you need it. Through the app, write the data in your external storage (a microSD card), and move it to your another phone.

  2. I don’t have the personal directory options on my Samsung Galaxy s4 mini. My phone doesn’t even suggest my own name when I begin to type it. Very frustrating. All software is up to date. What can I do?
