How to copy bold text from gmail? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I copy and paste text from gmail, using either the app, or the browser, the bold formatting is lost. This is so even if I paste back into gmail. Anyone know a way round it?

I tried several times in the browser with no issues

Really? Just to be clear, I do mean gmail on the Nexus. I didn't state that explicitly as this is a Nexus forum. Bold is fine on the desktop. If you do mean on the Nexus, What did you do? I'm running stock 4.2.2 rooted. When I receive an email with bold text it displays, but I can't specify bold when creating, and when I copy and paste using the standard method- long press and position beginning and end points - the formatting is lost.
thanks

gmail not marking emails as read?

ok so this started this past week. I get an email and I read and delete it on my phone. later on, I go back in the gmail app and in the top left corner by "inbox" it says I have a new email, however I don't actually have a new email...when I check the gmail mobile site it shows the same email I read and deleted earlier, as unread and not deleted...
does anyone else experience this/know what I can do to fix it?

uninstall the app and reinstall it from the market.
well I can't uninstall it fully (at least not from the market) but I uninstalled updates and then updated so I'll see how that goes

Make sure your syncing is on. I had this problem, turned on background syncing and it was fixed. Hope that helps.
that was the first thing I checked haha. I have background data and auto sync both enabled though.

Happens to me all the time. I use gmail unread widget to view only unread mail to find the offending message

ADB / Root Explorer and delete Gmail.apk in /system/app/
I know that (sorry not trying to sound like an arrogant ass) so far uninstalling updates has worked though.

Don't sweat it....
Google People is quirky.
It collects contact data from accounts it recognizes, like Yahoo Mail and Skype.
If you try to change data in one of those "foreign" data section, it says This app can not change data. I guess that is reasonable.
You have to use the data "owner", like Skype, to modify it.

Rooted but still cant delete a ringtone?

Hi I have a rooted n7 stock 4.1.2, I can't seem to delete a ringtone "hangout_dingtone.m4a" I am using ES File Exploer with SU permissions. Every time I delete it and reboot my n7 the files come back. The file is one file but when done a search shows up in two places, if I rename it in one place it renames in the other place as well. The files are located in /data/media/notification/hangout_dingtone.m4a and /storage/sdcard0/notification/ hangout_dingtone.m4a is there any way I can delete it from both locations? The reason why I want this done is because they show up multiple times in the default sounds menu.

That's because they are exactly the same location!
Just delete it from sdcard.

Youd think it would go away, but after a reboot there it is back in the folder. /sdcard/notification
any other way you can think of?

Ok, I deleted both hangout ring/ding tone files from notifications. Rebooted the phone and ding is back again.
Based on the name, it belongs to Google+, so I would say the app reinstalls the file if it is deleted.
Either leave the file alone or try freezing/uninstalling Google+.

How would you suggest I freeze google plus app?

U can use airdroid, it can manipulate the clipboard of phone. Should work.

Another vote for air droid

Enable sync, log-in with the same gmail on both your Nexus and your PC. Use Chrome. Visit the website yourself and copy it? Otherwise just use Airdroid, or even Evernote.
DESKNOTIFIER! Haven't been using it for quite awhile so I'm not sure how it's holding up now..

Contacts extra connections, BUG or FEATURE?

After backing up all my contacts in my s3, bluetoothed the .vcf file to my N3, arrows in notifications showed that transfer was successful but there was no .vcf file in the bluetooth folder on my internal sd as its supposed to be. Then, i tried emailing and downloading the .vcf file... went fine but after installing all my contacts, there is about at least 2 connections in every contact name. It's a real pain to delete one by one as there's no need for the extra connections...i wonder if this is a bug or feature??
Anyone facing this too??

Why don't you just use Google to back up your contacts... Unlink the contacts
