Hi guys, I am a new user of N900, and been facing some problem with my phone

i cant highlight text using touch screen (by "dragging" along the text) in conversation mode... been looking a solution in google, but still didint get any solution for this problem

hope that somebody can help me out with my problem...

thanks a lot in advance

no one having any solution huh? sigh...

Same way as in browser?

Is this info in manual?

thanks slender for your response...

it only occurs in conversation mode...

i can highlight text in setting...

what you mean by info in manual?

To select test in conversation go into the conversation you want to select, then swipe from the left to bring in 'hover mode', and that way you can select text. To copy it use Ctrl + C, and to paste use CTRL + V.

It is the exact same way in the browser. Here's a video tutorial:

Oh dear.
Just checked manual JUST FOR YOU. This info is in manual!

So. RTFM :P

thanks pantera1989... i know the hover mode thingy but thats not the problem i am facing... hover mode is in browser mode, but during conversation, i should be able to highlight my text by default right? (i can highlight the text before, but now suddenly cannot)

not highlight text as below, but highlight the text entered in the white textbox...
i think this happens after i uninstall several applications, which i had forgotten which one... there is also a problem/bug with application named scim being uninstall which will cause Fn and Shift key to become "unsticky", thus am wondering is it the same case here...

thanks in advance

There's a manual for the N900?
I must find and investigate this fabled document!

Thanks slender, after nearly a year it's good to know there are still new things to learn about the N900.

BaGaTa, the white box is a multi line text box. If you type alot into it your text starts to disapear out of the top, touching it to select will infact scroll it, it will not select anything. It never has been touch to select, you must use the Shift+Arrow keys to select text.

thanks slender for the wonderful piece of information... din really know the existance of the manual... but sadly, im not talking about what the page 60 is talking about... thanks alot bro!

JonWW, is it? i mean it has never been touch to select? i am using N900 for 3days only, and i remember on the first day i am able to do so... 2nd day then it suddenly cannot after i uninstall some weird chinese software... now i am confused whether it can be done or not thanks JonWW thou...
