Can't copy/paste?? - myTouch 3G, Magic General

Is it possible to copy and paste text that's in an email or on a webpage? It seems I can only copy links by tapping on them and holding, or when you have a text entry box it also seems to work, but what about a chunk of text in an email you've received or on a website? Seems like a pretty basic function, if even windows mobile could manage it.

In browser app, press menu, then the last button, then the "select text" voice (I've an italian one, sorry), it will be automatically copied to clipboard so you can paste it everywhere. I've not yet found a way to copy text from mail app, but you can open mail from browser anyway, following the same procedure

Thanks, works perfectly in the browser, and in text messages you can touch and hold the message to copy all its text. Unfortunately I usually need it more in email, and would take less time to re-write than log into webmail and copy. Seems like an oversight really, if it works in the broswer why can't they make it work elsewhere

SMS/email Questions (htc home, palm threaded sms)

I have htc home installed. I love the way palm threaded sms works, but it gets really annoying at times. is there any way to set it up so that when i hit the text button on htc home it opens JUST my sms inbox, and when i hit the email button, it opens JUST my email? right now, it opens the main messaging window, as well as the text or email window whenever i hit either of those buttons.
also, when palm threaded sms is installed, my text message inbox opens itself about every 10 minutes on its own, does anyone know how to stop this?
if not, does anyone know of another sms program? the one that comes on the mogul is really slow and ugly, i dont even care if its threaded, i just want something faster and possibly better looking than the built in one

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Load up your emai/sms ap, menu -> tools -> settings untick "display account picker"
well that solved the problem of it opening the picker, but it created another problem. now the email icon on the htc home plugin just opens text message inbox as well. is there a way to set what those buttons open? Also, is there a way to delete this "Outlook E-mail" account?
thanks for your reply isix

Copy & Paste on D2

Can soemone explain to me how Copy & Paste works on the D2?
I cant seem to get it to work consistently, am I missing something?
On the D1 you hold and get a menu to copy, with D2 it appears hidden somewhere else
I use text messaging heavily for work, so this could be a deal-breaker
When you are in text messages, click MENU and click SELECT TEXT. Then you can select what you want to copy.
No idea why HTC changed the way of copy paste.. it was annoying for me too to find the copy/paste function.

you can copy paste with almost any keyboard:

Text Message

Hello Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone had a app or a change of configuration to make the phone send text message when they don't get sent caused to not having reception.
I come across my text messages going into my draft folder since I work in the basement of a school library and I only get reception if I stand or sit very still in one spot.
If anyone has any info about this that would be great.
Thanks,
I don't have a solution, just have the same problem. I work in an area of low reception. If I don't make sure I have reception first I get a failed to send, then it leaves the text in the drafts folder and won't let me resend or move to outbox. I then have to pretty much rewrite the same text.
Am I doing something wrong or is there a problem with the text stuff on the Tilt2?
*Edit
I think my problem is with the HTC TF3D Messaging program, it seems the Windows one allows me to resend in a much more friendly way (aka Click to resend).
When you enter the options during the message composing screen you can choose to receive a delivery report.
You can also set this permanent:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings"
DWORD: "SMSDeliveryNotify" Value: "1"
It depends on your provider if there are extra costs for this feature.
I found a cab over at ppc forums that makes the windows messenger the default for TF3d. That way when I tap on the text screen it goes directly into the windows messenger chat instead of HTC's. Now when a text fails to go through the windows chat asks me if I want to resend.
*edit
The file was OrigDefaultWMtexting4Manila.cab, you should be able to google it.

Deleting messages, is there a quick way?

I do like the swipe feature that enables you to read the headers of downloaded messages but is there a quick way of deleting messages rather than opening up the mail program and going menu>delete for each message?
You could try MS' MyPhone..even better, you could archive them so the text messages are accesible online.
You sync your phone first with MyPhone, do the archiving/deleting on the web..sync again..and you're done.
If you scroll further down in the popup after tapping "Menu", you get the option "select messages", then either "all", "all below", or "various" (but those are my own translations, the real English version may differ).

Copy text from web sites / gmail?

I find I need to copy text from Gmail or a website sometimes and I have yet to figure out a way to do it. I can easily copy text from a text entry box but if it is just text on a page or email you cant bring up a Select Text option. Is there any way to do this?
On browser,
Menu > More > Select Text
Gmail,
Not there yet. Try check via Browser when you need to copy text. You should still be able to paste in the gmail app
Yeah, this is in the sticky. Froyo brings copy/paste to gmail.
