Hi,
can anybody tell me how to copy and paste text in sms body?? I dont know why when I tap and hold the sms body textbox, the copy and paste options are always disabled... any ideas??
This really looks stupid behavior!!
Thanks alot
Mohammad
did you try to select some text you want to copy and then use the keyboard with <control> C and <control> V
just as you would do on a desktop
I cant find a <control> key on the wizard kb, so how to do it? thanx
CTRL is not on the text-board, but it is on your tap-keyboard.. push the words in on your touchscreen...
Be sure that after you've selected the text you want to copy, click and hold on the selection itself, not on a blank part of the screen. Then the copy function won't be greyed out.

Use your stylus or your finger and slide it over the text you want to copy. Once selected hold down your finger/stylus and a pop up menu should appear. Some apps this won't work and instead you click on menu > edit > copy etc etc instead of holding down finger/stylus
To paste it use finger/stylus to select place you want to insert to and then again either hold down stylus/finger or click on menu > edit > paste
Next time try a little searching before posting a new thread. Read the manual, wiki and the forum rules
remember on opera thiough you have to hold down stylus and make sure "txt selection is on"

Hi,
I'm looking for the exe file that launches the Wi-Fi settings (start/settings/connections/Wi-fi). I would like to make a shortcut to it...
I had no success looking for it in the windows folder.
Thanks in advance.

I use SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 and this software knows how to get widgets (shortcut) on Today. There is "Wirelless manager" in Start-Settings-Connections. Make a shortcut and be happy!

OK. I try to explain you, but I have the Shell in czech language...I try it. On main screen SPB press right button (next to contacts). Press green plus (add widget), then press first icon (on the left -Shortcut), then Settings-Connections-Wirelless manager and...???? Is it there??? Next step is move button wifi to the right...Wifi is ON and you can search wifi LAN...
This suggestion here may help

Thanx both of you, with the little program from "azahidi's" link i succeeded to use my WiFi, thanx guys your great
Now the only thing is to see how to Unlock ROM and put another one on my phone
Orig WiFi program as supplied with windows can be found using file explorer- Windows folder then scroll down till you see a file"WLanSettings" with a small picture of a PDA next to it.Highlight this file then select copy. Navigate to where you want to install, click in the window. Choose paste shortcut. Next, if you want, rename shortcut. Copy result, navigate to the folder you wish to place the shortcut in (ie settings?), paste. Close explorer, go to start menue, navigate to shortcut just created, should work

Thanks for the suggestion. I already found these WLanSettings, but it still isn't exactly what I'm after. When I launch WLanSetting, next I have to turn on Wireless LAN, wait...because my access point takes a while to appear in the list, because of the waiting period it doesn't "auto connect" anymore, so I have to press "change network" and select it manually from the list with detected access point...Hold it...
Thanks again !! because when trying this (at this very moment), "Settings" appeared in my task manager (after pressing "change network"; this opened Configure Wireless Networks). Through task manager I was able to see what exe-file was behind "Settings". It's "ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,17,2". Thanks to Google I just found out that putting 33# before ctlpnl.exe (without a space!) and saving this as .lnk works perfectly!!!

Dear All
copy and paste option which normally activated when you hold your finger on a text and allow you to select all text and copy it then paste is suddenly disappeared in my HD2
is there any way to restore this function again other than hard reset
Rom 1.48
Thank you
what do you see after you hold your finger?
do you see a menu at all or don't you even get that?
can you give an example (application from where you want to copy)

Thank you very much donSjon for your reply
as example now when i hold my finger on a text of sms nothing happen
but before when i hold on sms there was a small menu giving me the option to select all text and copy it then i can paste it in another application like email
I'm also on rom 1.48, but never had this problem.
what were the latest apps you installed?
and before you do a hard reset, maybe also upgrade to rom1.66 at the same time ;-) (if it has been released for your language at least)
1. Enable Hidden Default Games
Go to the Windows directory and copy bubblebreaker.exe and solitaire.exe to the games folder as shortcuts in Windows\Start Menu. Make sure to unhide system files on the device to see the games listed.
How on earth do i do that? I went to FILE EXPLORER - WINDOWS but i am lost from there.Please help.
click menu -- show all files.find bubblebreaker.exe, press and hold, choose copy, then scroll up to the folder start menu, games, click menu - edit - paste.
It doesn't let you just paste though (at least mine doesn't).
You have to paste shortcut.

Thanks I did exactly that but when I checked PROGRAMS-GAMES I cannot see the games j have added in the start menu
as shortcuts in Windows\Start Menu. Make sure to unhide system files on the device to see the games listed
How I do that?
Please help me on this.
just paste the shortcut
just looked at this - open File Explorer and navigate to windows find the bubblebreaker.exe file and press/hold - at the bottom of the box that pops up is 'Send Shortcut to Programs' select this and you should now find a shortcut in the program list you get when selecting the icon in the top left corner of your home screen

The easiest way to do this is to use Resco explorer as it gives you the option to send a shortcut to the programs folder.
However as you have to pay for it I can understand why you might not want to so I had a look at trying it with the windows file explorer and here is how I did it.
Ok so in to the huge windows file and scrolled on down to BubbleBreaker and I've got 4 files with that name but only 2 have the BubbleBreaker icon. The first one is 46.0K in size and thats the .exe file we're after. The other one is just an .lnk shortcut file.
So long press on the .exe file brings up the edit menu. Select copy.
Now go up in the windows folder and in to the Folder named Start Menu, then in to Programs and finally in to Games.
Now if you give a long press on a clear bit of the screen avoiding other files you should have a menu come up giving you the option to Paste Shortcut.
Hit the button and all should be well.
Worked ok on my HD2, I'm running the standard WWE 1.66 Rom
P.S Don't forget to chose the option to show all files in explorer. Just click Menu then put a tick in the Show all files box.

hi,
am having trouble copy pasting text between programs (an rss reader and email for example) and was wondering if anyone had an idea why. the rss reader will let me copy the text but when i get to the email there is no option to paste.
thanks for your help
Touch the screen where you want to paste and hold until a menu pops-up with paste as an option.
it's a third party app but very good
download fingerkeyboard 2.1 from here on xda
it's a very nice keyboard in which you can assign things to.
if you press shift you have the option to undo/cut/copy/paste etc and it works everywhere youre allowed to bring up the keyboard
hope this helps
