Hi,
I have a problem when I try to mark and copy text from the default sms app. On a long press on text inside sms message the brakets are not showing up and the whole message is selected and coppied when clicking on file icon. Is there a way to make the brakets show up in the sms app so I can mark the text I want to copy?
Note that this problem is only related to sms app, because in Chrome selecting text works as expected.
Nobody?!
That propably has to do eith Google messages app. Try using another app.

I'm using the android messages app and I can copy from it?
Selective text doesn't work, try textra..
Textra is not working either with selective text copying. It also selects the whole message and I cannot mark the text I want to copy. Any other suggestions?
It was caused by huawei update

My phone updated this morning with all new logos and interface. It looked better but copy and paste is all messed up. Just gives me the option to autofill. But you can't autofill the copied text. It works with some websites but not within the huawei apps like sms messages and calls etc.

I recently installed SMS-Chat by VITO and Im trying to remove it. I uninstalled the program but there is still a folder for SMS chat under my inbox and also, now when i receive a message the pop up notification for the actual text message does not come up. Please someone help Thanks
you will have to reconfigure through your sounds and notifications options and check on show messages.
Can anybody tell me what program I can use for my text messaging notification? The problem I have is that when I read the text message, it still shows as new. Meaning I have to go in to the inbox and highlight the actual message to get that number off my text icon.
I've found it here a long time ago, but I couldn't find it. And I did search but all I kept getting were post about disabling the sent text notification.
thanks.
i think you may be talking about kaiser tweak. you can do a search to find it because that thread is buried somewhere
I think he may be talking about threaded SMS not setting the text to "Read" when you enter threaded SMS.
I noticed this a little while back. I've just kind of gotten used to it. If I receive a new text message, I'll open it in threaded SMS. it won't be set to "Unread" until I exit threaded sms by pressing "OK"
Yes, you can all laugh at me...
I seem to have installed an sms app, which gives me a pop up window, when a new sms arrives.
I have disabled notify in stock messaging app and in chompsms. Handcent is activated but this gives me another pop up.
The unwelcome sms pop up is a grey square with white outline. It has 3 white buttons at the bottom with "Auto response with busy message", "Reply" and "Dismiss". It shows the message and the sender with a small picture above the buttons.
Please help me to identify the app, I want to uninstall it.
i may be wrong, but i think SMS morse does this as one of its options, try checking for that
thanks, but i never installed this one. It has to be something I installed, maybe backed up and now it stays as a residue, I can't see in the installed apps.
You may have SMS Popup installed, this what I have and it works the way you have described it
It is Contact Blast
I'm fairly certain it's the sms popup as said above. It's a feature in handcent. Go to options in Handcent and disable the popup.
Hi
In the "phone" application, if I have an entry in the call log from someone, I simply cannot copy that number to the clipboard. I have to long press and select "Edit number before call" and then copy it from the text box (not from the place it is displayed above). Highly convoluted and non-user friendly.
Is there any reason why I cannot simply long press a phone number in the call log and copy it? Even selecting text does not seem to be possible in Whats App or SMS applications. There is some cursor like thingy that appears and thats about it. I cannot select portions of text to be copied.
Can't believe I am asking this, but how can I copy portion of text, say from an SMS or from a WhatsApp message?
Thanks.

Double tap the text and you should get two handles and the select/copy/cut action bar up top.
It took me a while to get this, apparently on Sony phones you have to double tab to get to cut/copy/paste, it's easy enough once you get that though.
Sony Phone app: no copy, no send contact, no vibrate when connected.
Sony Messaging app: no font size changable, no hide message content option, can't not send (unamed) number from call log.
In term of UI functions, Sony need to do much more. I feel they still not focus enough on software
Don't tell us, tell Sony, they're the only ones who can do anything about it.
Hello,
I have another copy / Paste question. In the calendar I cannot copy the location entry. Anytime I tab it, I am asked to open google maps. Any Idea how to copy location text?
Thanks!

Not sure what do you mean "no vibration when connected, but to copy: long press on the number and to send: that's in the menu.

No vibration when your outgoing call connected .
In my S8 I was using messages version 4.4.30.50 and it had the ability to schedule text message. I don't see that in S10. If it's truly not there, do you guys know of text msg app I can switch too that gives scheduling?
Yes, the option to send schedule messages is still there.
Go to messages app, open a conversation (or start new one by selecting the contact and when selecting the box to input the message) select the plus sign and select "Schedule Message".
Thanks got it!
