how to select and copy text from gmail app

Do you know how i can copy some text from gmail app? ?

I was just going to post the exact same thing. Needed to copy some text in an e-mail today and send it to someone via text and couldn't do it.
I thought going to gmail via the browser in classic mode would work but as soon as you go to your inbox the mobile version loads.

Any updates on this? Seems to be a bit of an oversight (ala original iPhone) that you cannot copy text from either the Nexus GMail or Email apps. Perhaps it is possible and we have not worked out how to do it ????

I use dolphin browser with Pc user agent

Fair enough. No doubt the capability will come in time.

You can apparently do this on the droid with the hardware keyboard, I believe it's hold down shift and select with the dpad.
This would mean the app allows it, but there's no way to get to it with the touchscreen.

makes sense.. In the mean time.. hit reply so it can quote the text then select text..

As a temporary workaround, you can load up your Gmail in the browser and use the select/copy/paste functions just like you can on any website.
Oh, and the iPhone didn't have ctrl+x/c/v at all until the 3.0 software that was just released last summer.

How does that work. I just tried it and if I it reply in the N1 Gmail app, I still cannot select the quoted text? Otherwise it would have been an excellent suggestion.

more than one Gmail notification

OK is there any way to get more than the very first gmail notification at a time? Can we do something so that if we receive lets say 3 emails one right after the other They will all trigger the notification instead of just the first one?

well, if you are opening your email for the one, why waste time showing X amount...
You could also use the baked email app, its much better...

I think he means the "email" app. I think it is a lot better than the "gmail" app.

They are both not very good. The gmail app lacks lots of features, and the built in email app doesn't have push support. Try K9 mail. It will show a notification in the bar and a small circle showing how many new emails you have. It is also much more customizable than either of the stock email apps.

Question?
have you observed that the Detail of the notification will do the following
- when there is only 1 email, it will show the subject
- when there is more than 1, it will show the # of unread emails.

Yes, it has the number. But the thing is, the phone will only "ring" for the first email. It won't sound again for all the subsequent emails.

Is there anyway to solve that? I want to see every email subject when the email is come. I mean if i have 3 mails, status bar must show 3 gmail notificaion and list it.

Settings / (account name) / Labels to Notify / Inbox. In the notification settings, you can select whether you want it to notify for each email or just the first one.

[Q] Email App - Reply-All is including me?

Hey,
Just picked up a Note 3 through work, and have it connected via ActiveSync to my work's exchange server.
I used to have a GNEX with the same configuration, so I know this problem is due to the new device.
When I receive an email, and hit Reply All, it includes me on the response - but on my GNEX, this was never the issue, it would only reply to the other people in the email thread.
Does anyone know what the deal is with this? Am I missing a setting somewhere (I honestly don't know where everything is, with this ****ty TW layout).
Any help is appreciated.

You need to go into the email app and settings. Click on your email account you want to edit and look for it.

Yeah, been there, done that.
There's a "Make Reply-All the default" option, but that's about it.
2 attached files show the problem in action.

I can't find it as well. This is weird. When I hit the two arrows at the bottom (Reply to all)
It does not include me. You don't have that "Make Reply-All" checked right? If so, I would take that off.
When reading an email, at the bottom you should have multiple buttons to use.
One back arrow for reply
Two back arrows together for reply all
One forward arrow to forward emails
The trash can looking icon
and last, next and back icon to go between emails quicker.
This is whats on all my emails when opened and I have no issues at all.

yes, Make Reply-All The Default is checked. even without it though, i get the same problem.
interestingly enough, this also happens in Gmail.
just did a factory reset, going to see if that changes anything.

That's just crazy. Maybe your phone just really loves you.

OK, a factory reset solved it in both Email and Gmail.
In the Samsung Email app, if you go into Settings and pick Show More Settings, there is a "Auto CC/BCC" option. Strangely enough, this was unchecked (set to None) while this strangeness was happening.
Factory reset, then flashed the 4.4 Email and Exchange apks, then added my work account. Still experienced the same "Reply-All-Includes-Me" issue in 4.4 Email, didn't check Gmail. Added my work account to the Samsung Email app, and the problem disappeared. Deleted my account from the Samsung Email app, and now the 4.4 Email app is working properly.
Thanks for your help with this, it's greatly appreciated.

Direct Message widget on Null Rom?

So when I click on the widget it brings me titanium backup for some reason. I think I remember someone posting an apk...maybe a contacts apk that made it work.....anybody recall that?

Thanks for trying....I wish they would have kept the Null thread still available but just closed...there was alot of useful info on that thread...anyways if anyone knows the trick to getting the direct message widget to work i would appreciate it...like i said when i click on it, it bring me to Titanium Backup for some reason.

What widget are you talking about?

The preinstalled widget on nulls rom that says "Direct Message"......I can get Direct Call to work but when i press on the direct message widget it takes me to Titanium backup form some reason....

as far as i know, you can't message from gear yet. direct dial do work, but not messaging.

Direct messaging ? I dont recall anything like this..
You sure you didnt have AOSP messages installed or something ? Cause I didnt include anything related to texts/messages..

If i look in my available widgets i also have an option for direct message. When i put it on the desktop with a contact selected it just says "App isn't installed". I'm assuming that direct dial only works if you have gearmanager installed on your phone? I tried to setup a contact and it just shows the dialing screen and doesn't do anything on the phone.

Could be apart of contacts in that case.. must includes a direct message widget also.
The direct dial should work fine, when the gear initiates a call it makes it on the host phone.

I believe it is. There is a direct message and a direct dial widget right next to each other.
I still have the issue where when I select either of them my contacts come up blank. I have contacts on the watch, they just do not show on that widget. They used to.
Any ideas?

I tried the direct dial, worked fine.. make sure you add your contacts to the aosp contacts app in your app drawer it does not pull your contacts from your phone.
Although direct message does not work.. I believe because there is no messaging app installed.

Add to the contacts in my app drawer

Odd post. Didn't mean that...I will try to figure out how to do that. May have been a fluke but I never had to add them. They all just came over...

Yeah i understand what your saying about having not messaging app installed but i thought maybe it would be possible to give you the option to send a predefined message or s voice message. For some reason when I click on it it opens Titanium Backup. not a huge deal just thought it would be cool to click on the widget and send an s voice message or predefined message I had saved

Thats weird man, no idea what could be causing that.. In reality nothing has changed in that department since the last update..
In regards to predefined text replys, I believe there is a APK Samsung have included for this already.. In theory if we could call that popup in a app, perhaps you could select a reply...
Im just spit balling tho, I haven't tested or even looked at it yet.
If you want to see what im talking about create a shortcut using novalauncher to "Select reply".
EDIT: Decided to have a look of the source of the reply apk I mentioned, sadly thats not going to work ! Back to the drawing board.

Your the best F0mey....not a big deal...i was just messing with it and thought it was strange it brought me to titanium backup and then thought how it would be cool if i could send an svoice message or predefined text but its not really a necessity.

[Q] SMS Widget ~ Trying to find?

Guys,
On my wife's Z1 she used to have a small SMS Widget that used to show up in the top right of her home screen.
Basically when she received a new message this widget popped up. Tapping on it opened up the message sent.
As I say it was a small circular widget and inside was a photo of the person or number who sent the message.
I would really like to know where it came from and why it has now disappeared.
All I know is the only Messaging Apps she has is the default and GoSMSPro Apps installed.

Thanks but it's not Facebook Messenger, I know that for sure.
At first I thought it was a product produced by using GoSMSPro but that brings up it's own themed window, not the round one that always appears in the top right of the screen.
I'll keep on looking and have a feeling without help it's going to take a long time to find it again.
