Really dumb question, but I can't seem to figure out how to copy and paste in Chrome (downloaded from Google Play).
For example, i see a URL displayed within a website, I can highlight that URL by long pressing, but I don't know which button to press to "copy" and then "Paste" the URL to the address bar on top.
Thanks!
I just struggled with that for about 15 minutes. I tried every option on the top of the screen. I eventually hit the share option and tested myself the link.

After you highlight the url, long press it again and the menu will pop up, click the one with the scissors....get to where you want to paste it, long press and press "paste"
Flaky as he'll for me even hitting the right icons after the long touch to enter cut 'n paste mode. Often use the share workaround or a different browser.

Trying everything right now and nothing seems to be working. In chrome, pushing the button that looks like copy/cut crashes the browser. In the original Internet browser from Samsung, it doesn't actually copy anything to the clipboard.
I'm on Verizon if that makes a difference.

I've noticed that in the stock browser, you can actually use ctrl+t and ctrl+w to open and close tabs. However, it seems that every time I press ctrl+w it closes two tabs instead of just one. does anyone else have this problem?
Nope, but to add to the topic I did just notice that Ctrl -C and Ctrl -V work for Copy and Paste functionality.
Also holding the soft key back button will bring up your history tab in the browser. My 2 cents.

oh thats cool you learn something new every day, right
I also have the ctrl+w problem
When using ctrl+w my browser also closes 2 tabs.
I am using the Nordic version of the Transformer keyboard, labeled "B70" series.
When I need a note, it needs to be very simple to use. Simple to open, simple to type, simple to save and simple to find.
One tap from the homes screen, no title to fool with, auto save on closure and easy to find later.
I have tried several of the note apps but none seem to meet all these things
AK notepad almost does this and I use it but there are two issues I have with it.
It takes two taps to open from the home screen and the notes are embedded in the program are are not visible as separate files.
Any thoughts?

Great and pretty simple, one click for open and another to edit , than back key to save.
The best is Motorola Widget "sticky note" that comes with the stock Motorola roms.

Have you tried Evernote?
IMO "Colornote" is the best and it only uses a couple permissions, which makes me like it even more...

I agree with the color note. One tap on home screen opens app to your list of notes and one tap to open individual note. If only using one note it will open right to that note. Autosave on close. Simple easy...

Perhaps I am do not have these setup right, but..
Using a shortcut from Home...
Colornote requires one tap to open from Home, a second to select new note, a third to select Text
Evernote requires one tap to open from Home, and a second to select new note. But the curser defaults to a title field, requiring a third tap.
Geesh, I don't use notes very often but when the need arises there is a little stress to get something down fast without fumbling with the software. A note app that opened to a new note on a single tap would be sweet.

Sounds like one of those non-issue issues. You have to tap to type. Right? Short term memory?
What were we talking about?

Got my S2 today and love it. But I have a few questions.
1. When I delete items on my home screen and don't add any I get this dumb message that stays on the home screen that I can't get rid off it say
"Press and hold this page to add content"
Well I don't want anything on their, so how do I get rid of that?
Thanks..
Never seen that .
Home screen remove app
Edit
Drag icon to bin

Also how do I rename a folder in the app drawer? I've tried everything and I can't seem to get it....

open the folder and long press the name and an edit box will pop up
When I do that it just drags the folder to the home screen. Its a folder I created to put all the bloatware into. I want to name it bloatware, but all it says is folder 1.
Edit
Add Folder
Drag Folder to Page
Enter Name Box Opens
TYPE NAME
Yes
Close
= named folder .

I have a different question re the home screen - can you set screen 3 to be the default screen the phone goes to when you press the home button? Kinda makes more since being able to scroll a screen left or right.. starting at 1 means you can only go one direction..

I'm sorry, what?? What are you talking about? Your post is so incoherent it's frustrating. How does this have anything to do with what falcon26 was asking?
@falcon26: This is apparently another one of AT&T's "bright" ideas, and I agree, I hate looking at it. I wish those fuktards at AT&T would stop wiping their stinky, sh!tty codemonkey fingers all over my device. I can't wait to get my Otterbox commuter so I can cover up the stupid AT&T logo on the front.
Ranting aside, I don't think this message displays on blank pages of the international variant of the SGH-i9100 (someone correct me if I'm mistaken). I'm sure there is a way to remove it, but I'm not sure what that is. I would definitely appreciate it if someone would chime in and offer a permanent solution (i.e. what code/picture to remove from whatever .xml/launcher file/directory, etc.), but in the mean time, I have a band-aid that works around this and ultimately accomplishes the same thing.
1. Go to https://market.android.com/details?id=org.hk.sticky
2. Install Sticky Widget
3. Add Sticky Widget to the screen you want to remove the "Press and hold this page to add content" message from.
4. When you add the widget a preferences screen will pop-up. Set the background to "Transparent" and press "Set".
4. Presto! No more idiot message. Just be mindful of where you put the widget so you don't press it by accident.
@micks_address:
1. From the Home screen, press the Menu button.
2. Press Edit. Thumbnails of all your homescreens will then appear in a matrix, with the "Remove" trashcan icon at the bottom.
3. Press the Menu button again.
4. Then press "Set as Home".
5. Press the thumbnail of the screen that you wish to become the default Home screen.
6. Press "Done"
7. Done

This does not work for me (have the same question), in step 3 I press Menu and nothing happens.
I am on stock KI1 ROM.
Reasons why people hating Touch Wiz 4?
So this is sorta like the scrapbooker function built in where you can just draw an area of the screen and it will be saved to scrapbook. But I also want to paste that in lets say an office document. How can I go about doing that?
If you hold down the spen button and circle something, it'll copy to clipboard and you can paste anywhere

I have text in hotmail & on website forums that I'd like to copy & paste across multiple forums.
These are long list of sports cards.
On my tablet I get the two blue tab markers to come up when I do a long press on the text but the issue is as I scroll up or down a page the markers don't seem to want to continue in whatever direction it is I'm going as I try to highlight text.
I have done the select all option but that picks up unwanted text on the top, bottom, & sometimes side.
Any ideas, thoughts, or suggestions?
Now to add I have another issue, as I was going to copy some text, my tab froze for 5-10 second after highlighting text and pressing the copy button. Then it dropped the internet screen I was on all together in sending me to the home page.
No idea how or why this came about. Should I do a factory reset to see if that helps anything or is that too extreme as I don't really want to lose all the apps and pictires I have on here.
Tab marking:
Just long press and hold the end market and pull it to the end of the screen. The scroll should keep highlighting.
Screen freeze:
Which ROM, KERNEL are you using? Stock or custom?
