Ok when I was running dk28 I was able to long press anywhere I wanted to and dragged and hit copy when I was done with whatever it was I was copying. Now that I went to di18 it seem very limited borderline useless long pressing don't work going into menu and hitting select text is pointless because the second I lift my finger it copies before I can finish scrolling down on the screen. I also tried the shift key and dragging method on the slide out keybord that was a waste too. So what gives. Is there an app that will make copy and paste easier in the browser running di18?
I could always go back to dk28 but I just can't stand that whole checkboard effect anymore

Im using both the gmail app and the sprint email app, but im unable to copy and select text in any of my mail. Can someone tell me how? its a dumb question, but i couldnt figure it out on the phone.
thanks in advanced
I miss being able to do this on my Evo. I'm surprised that the Epic doesn't seem to support it.
I don't see how to do more than word either there is an app in the app market called "Copy paste" it will let let you copy and paste anything even text from a webpage or even text from a picture.

Slide out your keyboard, hold down the shift key, and use your finger on the screen to highlight the text, when you release you finger from the screen, it will copy.
Go to any text input area, hold your finger down and select paste.
Voila!
Haha nice trick it works but a little finnecky. Still I like how the iphone worked where you can just hold down and select the area you wanna select. I hope this changes on a firmware or android update. Which update would this change belong to anyway? And how might I got about contacting someone about the issue.
Thanks for the tip
Copy and paste is officially supported in froyo. Nice trick though.
Hard keys (menu key, home key, and search key) not working. All 3 light up when touched but appear to have lost there file association. The back key works flawlessly. What have I done to the phone?....hum not much
Hmmm. You could try and flash the revert file from HERE. And it may restore the kl file for you.
good day.
I decided to just reload the tar...and start back over....that fixed what ever files lost its dirctory...TY
I just saw an app out in the market that allows you to add virtual buttons that work like the bottom hard buttons. Can be brought up anywhere. Can't remember the name of it though, sorry. May help someone in the future.

After hitting the back button in the Xoom browser, it doesn't return to where I was on the previous page scroll-wise. It will always go to the top. This is quite annoying in forums and the like.
All i've done is changed the user agent to: Desktop.
Any ideas?
I have noticed this as well and it bothers me as I am spoiled from my inspire 4g. It does it perfectly and even resizes the text when I blow it up. Hopefully it will be fixed in a future update.

Same behavior in Market
Sorry, a little out of topic.
I hope they fix that same behavior in the Market; when you go back to search results it starts from the beginning all over again. That really ruins the apps search experience. It should at least save state for a while.
Yeah it drives me nuts with the market place

Market!!!!
i was thinking the same thing. the market drives me nuts. i always have to scroll through a million apps to get back to where i was. and also i notice with the browser, there is no way to skip to the bottom of a page. like how you have on a normal broswer a scroll bar at the right. so for example if i am on a page like a forum with a long list of comments, i have to scrool throught the entire page before i get to the bottom, especially if you go back, when it already doesn't remember where you was. it makes it harder on my fingers, cuz i have to scroll a million times to get to the bottom of the page. very annoying google, very..
First let me tell you that this has been going on for a long time. I first had trouble on latest stock ROM. I factory reset it and still had problems. So I just now switched to Paranoid Android because I thought it was my ROM that was broken since it happens on all browsers except for Chrome. It still is happening in the default browser that came with Paranoid Android.
Here is what is happening.
I go to any page on the web that has a multi-line text box. I try to start one with text already in it, like by quoting somebody on a forum. I start by highlighting a word and copying it. Then if there's text in the box I place the cursor between any two letters. Then I click the handle/cursor until paste comes up, and right after I do, the cursor will move somewhere like in the middle of the next line or lower. This happens even before i hit paste. If I use the copy command like in thumb keyboard by assigning paste to a function key, sometimes it overwrites text to the left or right of the cursor. This stuff happens with any keyboard including stock android keyboard. Sometimes I'll be typing text and then backspace stops working. Sometimes when that happens I have to click with my finger somewhere if I want to change something. But sometime that doesn't even work. Sometimes I will paste text at the bottom of the quoted text and the text will magically somehow be pasted at the top. This happens often. This only happens in browsers. I've tried stock, boat browser, dolphin. It happens in all of them. This is all repeatable for the most part. I'm at my wits end. Does anyone know what I can try? Is my nexus 10 broken? It seems like a software issue, but I don't know how since I've wiped everything and started over.
Any help appreciated. Anyone who can fix this I'll buy a beer.

This just started happening today....when I start typing in any app (falcon pro, whatsapp, txt or email), after the 1st couple of letters it goes right back to the home screen and I have to go back to the app and continue typing.
Is this happening to anyone?
Its getting annoying real quickly.
I have rebooted and changed to the google keyboard and it still happens.
Help!!
Happens to me sometimes when i type fast......but i found out that its my fingers hitting the home button when i press space. Your phone is fine. You just need to get adjusted to the keyboard. You might want to download and use Googles keyboard instead of LGs, if you havent alrrady done so. Im more familiar with Googles layout....perhaps you are as well
Edit: sorry, didnt notice that you are using googles keyboard already
Try this....while you type, follow your fingers instead of looking at the screen....im 90% sure you are hitting the home button like i do
