Copy and Paste in SMS body??

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.

Maping of the OK button

Is there a solution to map the OK button to an app which closes programs?
AE Button Plus does not allow to map the OK button.

It does, you select 'File' then 'Add button'. Press the OK button and then 'Add key' and it will be added to the list where you can assign it to an action.

OK.
But which one is correct: #4075 or #405C?
Sometimes I get the first one sometimes second.

I beleive pqzii is a good program to map the keys, but unless someone posts a manual as to how to use it, this program will render useless to newbies. Of course, those who are very knowledgable in programming will be the only ones benefiting from the hard work of the writer of this program.
Bottom line, how to use this program? Can someone who knows how to use it be kind enough to give us, newbies, some help?
Personally, I am using the X button program and it is great. I like to map the bottom OK button to become the X button to close programs from running in the background.
Thanks in advance to those who are willing to help.

My experience is :
1. Go to the install folder of PQzII with file explorer (picture 1)
2. Choose PQzII setup.exe (picture 2)
3. Tick the "Use OK button(Task Close/All)" checkbox under Windows option (picture 3)
4. Untick the " Use this function" checkbox under Icon option (picture 4)
5. Create a shortcut to Windows/Startup folder (picture 5)

HI blcc:
Thanks for the above. But the OK buttin still does not close the program - as I click it, it seems to have closed it but I looked at the Memory to find out the programs running - the one tat supposed to have been closed is still there.
BTW - One more newbie question about step 5 - how do your create a short cut to the Windos\StartUp?
Thanks again.

I can really close the program with OK button after apply the setting. For creating a shortcut, I use resco file explorer, tap and hold at the item and a pop up menu will appear. Choose "cut", and go to the statup folder, tap and hold again and choose "paste shortcut". That is.
Hope you understand my poor English.

Hi Blcc:
Your English is very good and it makes mine pale.
Thank you once agin, my OK button now closes running program and there is nothing is the background.
I hope others who are hoping to utilize these two programs will happen to read this thread.
Thanks a million.

4075 is what mine is set to.
PQzII was a bit buggy for me.

is there a way to have exceptions to closing the programs?eg:i like messaging and contacts to always be running in the background so if i press the ok hardware button it only minimizes messaging and contacts while really closing the other applications.

auto recognising contacts when texting

av searched no luck i have a small issue am having and its like on my tytnii kaiser when i wanted to send a text;and began to type the letters of the contact i wanted to text for instance if i typed m it would automaticaly bring up the contacts which start with m for me to choose but my HD is not doing the same i have to search for the contact first any suggestions please thanks

When you at SMS typing screen, press option, click "Word Completion" tab. Make sure u tick every boxes.

Just replace
"HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e0010409\Ime File" value with "\Windows\compime.dll" instead of most owful ime implementation AKA eT9ime.dll by Tegic (not sure in they dll name spelling though)
P.S.: as usual, be warned about changing registry.

Thanks!! This works with Touchpal really well, don't forget to soft-reset after the registry change otherwise you've disabled your mail and messaging ;-)

i think i'm misunderstanding something here... when i put my cursor in the To: field, i start typing letters and names will automatically appear above the keyboard. i can continue to type until the correct recipient/name appears or i can scroll the "horizontal list" to find the name i'm looking for. does the registry tweak above present all possible selections in a "vertical list"? thanks for clarifying...

Yep. A white box pops up below the text field with possible matches, shows about 8 at a time.

does this happen when the cursor IS NOT placed in the "To:" field? thanks. i made the change and when i placed the cursor in the "To:" field, i did not have a list to choose from.

2cortez.i: the functionality you describe is built into default (but not standard!) keyboard you use. If you choose original windows keyboard or install any other third-party keyboard like Resco which have no similar functionality built in - then default system autocomplete contact list popup feature (supressed by tegic) is the only option. Specially if your contacts are not in English
And IMHO default contact list popup is much better than built into tegic keyboard because it let you to choose from list with one tap instead of reviewing them one-by-one...
2mlalahoi: yes, sure I'v just fogot to note that soft-reset is required

aahhhhhhhhhhhh... i understand now. i tried the registry tweak again with the standard keyboard and it works as you described. but, if i use the HTC Full QWERTY keyboard, the vertical list will ONLY appear AFTER i type 2 letters AND THEN hit the backspace key. i prefer the vertical list for sure! however, i prefer the "To:" field to be automatically populated as is done with tegic dll. too bad the registry tweak above requires an extra "backspace" keystroke. thanks for explaining the difference.

thankssss

hi it worked for me, if i use the standard keyboard or full qwerty, bu if i use the phone pad keypad, it doesnt work. infact it doesnt type anything.
i tried typing it in the text area of email / sms but no success.
so i have to change it back to et9ime.dll , but if you can provide me the solution so that it works with phone keypad along with the qwerty, than its really cool tweak.
please help.

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!

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...

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!!!

lost copy and paste option

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)
