Hi all,
Its very annoying for me when i want to select some text from a page in internet explorer. I have to enable it first , Than i can select text, and copy paste it to anywere else.
Or , for example , when someone gives me a mobile number on messenger , i cant copy past it to call it.. ( cant select anything )
Or selecting files in Explorer.. very diffucult
Am i the only one with this problem ? Is there any fix for it ? ( Maybe Someting that makes selection in Internet explorer possible without having to activate it )
Hope that you understand me in spite of my poor english
the same trouble. Only one solution I find:
1. tap begining of text
2. then "Shift"-key
3. tap end of text
4. tap and hold, then select copy
if I understand you right)))
Is there no better way of doing this?

Hello,
after days of searching and reading in the forum I have still following question:
when I select a file in explorer with my finger or stylus, it executes that file.
e.g. I installed youtube (the question is NOT about youtube, works fine thanks to the forum) and when I want to change the mui file with the language code, it execute the file resulting in an error. Then I close the app and so it returnes to the file and then I can rename it.
Same with picture files (opens picture and then I close it), mp3,.....all files
So my question is: can I just select a file (with my finger or the stylus) without executing it?
(I can select with the down button, but in a long list this is not the way I want it)
Thanks and greetings from Belgium
Believe it or not but shortly after my question (and days of reading ) I solved it myself.
I just have to keep my finger or stylus on the file until the menu appears where I can then choose to rename the file
So sorry for the question, but maybe it can be usefulf for some other newbees.....

tap the file and wait a while holding down finger or stylus, then you'll see a dropdown menu for that file
heh I'm late
thanks anyway kwiateusz, appreciate the fast answer
i guess you skipped the tutorial by WM at the start !!! hahaha
could be, could be hahahahaha
use direction keys or optical joystick under the screen

install the attached CAB in your device main memory:
it will replace the original file explorer and give you more and more functions.
one of them in options is allowing you to change the way to execute any file by double click instead of single click, which meaning you can select private pictures in front of anybody by single click without view it.
enjoy
cheers
Thanks!
Will surely install it.

hi
I am sorry if this has been asked before (but I did search)
Is there any way to add suggest word(s) when typing in text, I have to type the same sentence over and over again every day and on my old phones/PDA this was not to bad as you could set the suggest word(s) to give you the next 4 works, I can't find this in the HD2 is there any way to add it
Thanks for any help
according to hint 19 in this thread:
19. Improve Suggested T9 Dictionary With Custom Words
The Leo has a very useful hidden application in the Windows directory. You need to unhide hidden system and Rom files in order to find it. Find the file "eT9MyWords.exe" in the Windows directory and add a shortcut to this file in your Windows/Start Menu folder.
When in the application, add the most common words you use when using the keypad such as names, locations, user names, email addresses and other words not common in the standard T9 dictionary. For example if you are based in London, UK you could add the following locations:
Leicester, Piccadilly, Tottenham, Soho, Charring, Euston, Trafalgar, Clapham,
and words such as BRB, DVD, coz, lol, xoxo, [email protected], ciao, etc.

I have read these tips and know about adding custom words.
What I want is for three to four words to come up to complete a sentence.
This has been in the input tap on old PDAs suggest word(s)
Hi
Is there no one Who can help with this?
Really with all the clever people on this site can no one help me
Please someone help me
Hi, i did a few tests and found...
et9mywords wont accept spaces, and although you can sneakily paste sentences into the input box, it wont save them, so that method is out.
Custom words are also found in HTCMDB.txt, and the good news is it works!
(See image)
The line 'this is a test' i hard coded into the file using my kitchen, then the 'this is a second test' i added as follows....
(I use resco explorer, i suspect the normal file manager wont do what is required, total commander probably will)
find /windows/HTCMDB.txt (it will be hidden, so show all files)
copy it to your sd card, and from there to your desktop.
(I tried editing it on the phone using windows mobile notepad, but it didnt work right)
On the PC, right click the file, properties, and untick 'read only', apply.
Open it and edit it as required.
Save it, and again right click, re apply 'read only'
Copy back to your sd card, and from teh phone use commander or resco to move it to /windows/
You will probably get a warning about rom files and what not, thats ok.
Reboot, and you should now be able to see your sentences.
PLease let me know how you get on.
EDIT - just for clarity, every entry inside HTCMDB.txt must be on its own line.
thanks for your help with this I have done as you posted and it works, it's a bit long winded but it works
thanks jason
I am looking for a keyboard for the nook STR that has both the letters and numbers on it, either like a normal keyboard or a number pad on the side. we are doing data entry and switching back and forth between letters and the numbers/special characters all the time is annoying.
I've not had much luck searching the android market for one like that, having only found the Hackers Keyboard, and being unable to install it.
I've started using the Go Keyboard. If you long press the appropiate letter you can use the number instead.

we're looking for something where the numbers are just there. There is lots of data being put into spreadsheets, and having any extra clicks or having to hold down a key when entering lots of numbers really slows down workflow. But thank you for the suggestion
How did you get the Go Keyboard installed and activated? Seems you have to install the apk in the system folder, and I tried but wouldn't let me (big noobe I know) :-(
astro file manager isn't enough. You need a file manager that will allow you access to root directories. I used ES File Explorer from the android market https://market.android.com/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop. Once you install it go to the settings menu and:
1. Scroll down to Root Settings and enable Root Explorer and Mount File System.
Not sure if this next step was needed but I did it anyway
2. Once again from the setting menu click on File Settings and enable "Show Hidden Files"
then copy the file from your data\app folder to your system\app folder
