I recently had this hilarious long text and i want to share screen it over facebook to share. I don't know how to turn a string of texts into a word document that is exportable or at least copy and paste able. How should I tackle this problem?
You could install a notepad app on your phone and hop between the Handcent and the notepad copy and pasting one text at a time. Save the notepad as a .txt file and push that to your PC. Open with an office suite and edit from there.
If you'd been using Google Voice, you could have logged in and simply copied the whole exchange.
Sorry, but the slow bit by bit method is all I can think of right now.

Thanks for the input. I've thought of that too, brute forcing it, but I rather I export this big long thing as a whole rather than ctrl c ctrl v-ing every single entry...
Not sure how long it is, but normally I just forward it, and instead of sending it out, I cut all the txt and paste it into a new msg. Then back out of that msg, handcent will save as draft. Repeat the steps of forwarding and cutting the txt and continue pasting it into the draft msg. Once u got all msges, u can cut that and paste it into other apps or email it to yourself if you want it on the computer...ect.
Will that work for what you want?

Let's just say I have over 100 entries in the thread I want to put up onto facebook...
I don't know how I can cut ALL the entries at once,...
Another idea:
There are several SMS backup apps in the market that promise to back up to Gmail. Maybe you could backup the thread via one of those apps and copy the whole thread from your Gmail account.

hmm. for something that large, idk. Someone would have to create a specific app or something.
Closest i got was using SMS Backup, which turned my texts into an XML file.
Opening that in excel 2007 allowed me to filter by a certain number, and than copy and paste the msgs to a word doc.
Thats the only quick option I could find....sry

I can copy/paste from PocketWord to PocketOutlook so you're blaming the wrong thing
you should prob state how you go about trying to copy paste
as in mark pan'n'hold and choose copy and paste from the contex menu's
or by using a soft keyboard using ctrl c and v
and what you mean by outlook if you mean a sms, mail, mms
and if you mean in subject normal msg text or recipient
and if you just mean text or if you mean copy paste of other things like pictures.
Hey guys and girls,
Ive got a Samsung Omnia (please no booing ) and I need an application to hide text and or mms messages. I work overseas from time to time with my business and my wife and I swap MMS and text messages to each other while I am away. Having a new phone means everyone wants to check it out and i certainly do not want anyone stumbling across any MMS or text messages my wife has sent me ;-)
I have already well and truly searched this forum and the only software I can find is by evolvens and it doesn work.
Im sure it couldnt be to hard for someone to code a little piece of software to hide sms or mms depending on who sent it?
Sorry if ive posted in the wrong section, id be willing to pay for the right app and im sure many others would as well.
Cheers
Dave
hey, i ran into a problem in my last relationship where i ended up dating 2 chicks... so i had their sms' saved using ez secret sms 2.0. basically, you can set it up to run in the background, and you set certain contacts to be received in this program instead of outlook. the program can be named anything you want. so i named it something boring like system priority. you click it, and it brings up a calculator. you put in the code you specified, and hit ok... and it opens your "secret inbox." you can also set it to notify you in some way that you received a text from whoever. i set it as "islanders won!" for one chick, and "rangers lost!" for the other... pretty simple program to use, and it works fairly well.
if you want to hide just the pics, you could always just save the pics and encrypt the folder using resco explorer with a password or something. but if you really want to save the actual sms, this program worked fairly well for me.
I agree - SMS Security is great - I use it on my Diamond with no problems
I don't think it willl work with MMS though. As the post above - save the image from your MMS into your main files in a private folder. Call that folder something odd and I'm sure you friends won't open it. If you really want to protect the images, you can lock just that file with Resco or I use VisCrypt
Thanks hays and ou2mame for your input, I will try ez secret sms,
hays is this the same program you use on your diamond?
Thanks again guys

Yes it is. It works 100%
It is easy to switch it on and off reverting back to normal diamond SMS
I've emailed the author to suggest a few minor tweaks and will report back
Is there way to rip this app from Vibrant?
I got Galaxy S and I really love this app!
Or maybe there is similar app elsewhere ?
Any one ? Help.
Here's my dump of my Galaxy S System/App folder

You should be able to find it in there.

Thanks for this. But I think i got a problem, coz I got custom deoxed ROM - I cannot install it.
is there any way to get audio postcard to communicate via Gmail and not via text msg (MMS)?
i don't have msging on my phone, but do have unlimited data - don't feel like paying $10+ for 2-4 uses a month
but it is a decent option for those who haven't tried it - hit it, camera opens, take a pix, another screen opens for the user to record a voice msg, then it asks who you'd like to send it to
as email addresses are one of the options, i assumed it would email - no luck - found the 8 attempts in the notification window showing me "MMS service not available"

I haven't really messed around with it but if it gives you an option to just save the file then you can do that. THen open gmail and attach the file.
tks for the suggestion, just checked - no option to save
Did you look in the gallery, I use this app all the time with the kids and it always saves the pictures, you don't have to choose save, as soon as you snap it, it's saved. I haven't changed any settings on mine and they save to /dcim/camera (or /sdcard/dcim/camera if using root explorer) Hope that helps.
they're there, but no voice attachment
tks - found "talking photos" on android market, it's a little cruder ie not as polished or as fluid in use, but works
Up!
Anybody got a version that I could install on international i9000 ?

I got the .apk and the .odex file. How do I apply them? I tried to install the .apk manually and it failed. Do I add both files to a zip and flash via Clockwork Recovery?
Use root explorer and copy both files to system/apps folder
try using this tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10223438&postcount=1
When I copy text in my dolphin hd browser I get a little message saying copied to clipboard. Where is this clipboard? And does it retain the text even after I have pasted it somewhere else?
Can I access the clipboard? Can't find it anywhere on my system.
Looks to be addressed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=692404
You should be able to paste text saved to your clipboard several times, at least until the next time you copy a chunk of text, at which point it will be replaced by whatever you copied most recently. You can also download a number of apps that collect & let you see your clipboard data.
Thanks vagicle I did a search but couldn't come up with anything for some reason.
Good username
try clipper clipboard app I use it
Where do I find the clipboard?
Have a Nexus 4, 4.4, rooted.
I was using copy paste function a lot and now it has stopped.
I copy from Yahoo mail app and paste into SMS. Was working great now stopped.
After it had stopped, I tried a few things.
I tried installing a few copy paste apps, none worked so I deleted them.
Sometime around the time when it stopped, I installed a second language, almost sure it was still working then.
I tried searching for issues, saw a galaxy bug for copy paste and something to do with the clipboard file in the data folder. I dont have one, but figured I would try.
Copy paste works fine within sms itself but not from app to app such as email apps to sms.
I get the copy function in the mail but when I go to paste in sms the option will not appear.
Any ideas what I can do or a workaround to get text from email apps to paste to sms?

Does it work is all apps except the email app? Try reinstalling the email app.
I tried reinstalling the apps for my mail. Nothing.
It works if I do it inside the same app such as SMS, but I no longer can go from one app to another.
Now the paste option will at least appear but it pasts nothing.

Try flashing the system.img from the factory images.
I will have to do some reading I suppose as I have no idea what that even is.
Is itsething relatively simple that you can explain.
Thank you
