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?

Hi,
I've installed several apps and tweaks on my TP and I believe one of them gives a very undesired side effect - just not sure which one.
In the Programs Tab I have now a third page of place holders - except, they don't do anything. I can't load another app onto them. And if I try, they stay blank but another place holder appears next to it, making the page longer and longer.
I have not figured out how to get rid of them or use them or reverse the effect. But it does give me trouble getting to the second page of the usable soft buttons. It just quickly scrolls past it.
If anyone has any ideas, I would like to hear them.
Possible culprits: Advanced Configuration Tool or AE Button Mapper....
Found the Solution / Fix!
You can only have 18 icons in the programs tab, the new one/s that keep popping up are useless. You can get rid of them by going in to your registry and delelting the offending entries.
Navigate to - HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\
In here look for a key that does not belong, you should have 0-17, when I get a rogue program icon it is usually listed as 100. Delete the whole key and voila the icon is gone. You don't have to reboot all you have to do is navigate to another tab and back to programs and the icon will be gone.

Hello forum. I have a two day old Vibrant that's behaving unusually.
I'm trying to change the two middle menu buttons. I goto applications, but when I click menu, I only get "view type" and not the option to change the middle buttons.
I also read about a fast reboot by holding the power button for 8 seconds. When I did this, it powered down and wouldn't come back up. I pulled the battery and it booted into safe mode. It had a little text flag on the bottom left that said "safe mode". I didn't even know the phone had a safe mode.
Anyhow, does anyone have any suggestions on customizing those two middle buttons?
I haven't rooted just yet. I think I may wait for Froyo.

click view type then click customizeable grid
then click menu, then edit, then long hold the app that you want to put in the number 2 spot and drag it there, long hold the app you want to use in number 3 spot and drag it there.
then click menu->save
(the next step is optional, but it bugs me not to have stuff in alphabetical order.)
click menu, then view type, then alphabetical grid
And you are done, really a round about pain in the ass way to go about changing the number 2 and number 3 spot but.....thats all we got
And next time try searching and reading the stickies, specifically this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732458
go to the second post and look for "CHANGE THE DOCK BUTTONS ON TOUCHWIZ!"
Read through that entire post actually and you will find some great information.
Good luck!
Thank you very much. I searched for how to change menu buttons on the XDA App and I wasn't finding anything. This did it though and I'll read your link.thanks again.

I'm using this app to read a book but it doesnnt save progress and I can't use the bookmark function. I see the button at the button that I believe to be the book mark key, but nothing happens when I press it.
Its as if that part of the menu isn't there because tapping affeects the page like normal.
Can anyone enlighten me here because this is easily the best PDF app if bookmarking will work.

Mine does the same thing, also the button to the right of it with an arrow on the document doesn't do anything on mine. I know I am pushing them correctly because the table of contents button to the left of the bookmark one works just fine. I just got EZpdf reader a couple of days ago so I don't know much about it either.
Its gotta just be the nooks screen vs what the apps used to.. I guess...
But on a positive note, how sweet is the page turning effect if you drag slowly from the bottom corner...
ill answer for you, its really sweet.
//from the nook COLOR
Oh.... interestingly enough, today when I opened my book from the recent docs tab, it loaded right to the chapter I stopped at..? I confirmed this by killing all apps and then starting ezpdf again and sure enough I got the same result.

Can someone please tell me how to highlight or underline text so I can come back to it easily later?
In my experience, you have to save the document in the internal memory (download folder, for instance). when close it wipe left to right ove the left side of the screen to see the options side panel amd close the document clicking on the X. Doing this, the document should open where you left it off. Bookmarks might work then, but my problem, when i sync the document in the cloud and open it in another device the bookmarks have dissapered. real annoying after spending time bookmarking all the important pages.
Hope this is useful guys
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....

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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?
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.
