I may be missing something obvious, but is there a way to select and copy text from within an email? For example I just got a message sent to my gmail account with a friends new home address, but while I can read the email obviously, scrolling through the message I cant actually select any text within it to copy out his address and then paste it into my contacts.

I'm a recent iPhone convert -- picked up a Samsung Captivate last week and have been really enjoying it, though I think I may get a refund and switch to the DroidX due to various issues I have with the Captivate.
Anywho, one pressing issue I haven't been able to find a solution to is regarding email.
1. How do I copy text from an email? I know if I first reply to an email then I can copy text, but is there a way to do so without having to first hitting the reply button?
2. How do I move emails from one folder to the next?
I'm currently just using the stock email client that came on my Captivate, are there others that are more powerful (not sure you can really call it 'powerful' to be able to copy text and move emails around).
Just got my new Captivate (replacing iPhone) and am trying to figure out how to copy / paste text from an email I have received. I have searched the forum and tried everything I can think of.

A couple of seconds later I receive an email with my temporary password, I try to copy it to paste it into the login window in the browser and I find myself at a loss on how to copy text from an email. I google around and find this: How do you copy/paste text from the Gmail app? - Android Community Forums. It says it is not possible? (The provided workaround does not work). This is a major bummer, I've been doing this on my old BlackBerry for years.

View 4 Replies View RelatedLast night I was trying to send a friend anothers friends mobile number via a text message. I assumed that there would be an easy way to copy the number from my contacts and paste it into a text message. However I couldn't work it out and had to go down the traditional route of writing it on a piece of paper then sending the text! Hardly a good advert for the new 'uberphone' that the desire is billed as! So, is there a way to do it?

I loaded a new custom ICS rom on my Samsung Galaxy sIII i747 and noticed that every time I tried to copy text in the Chrome Browser address bar, Chrome would force close. I am posting in general since this fix may work for any ICS running on any device.
The original thread that contains the fix is here: (unable to post links at this time since I am a new user)
Summary:
Fix requires root.
1. boot recovery (CWM) > wipe cache
2. reboot phone > Root Explorer/ES File Browser > delete /data/clipboard/* (everything in this directory)
3. reboot recovery again > advanced > fix permissions
4. reboot phone > Copy/Paste should now word (worked for me)
I know this question has been asked before but i want to know if I can do that from the stock SMS application i.e. I was asking my friend for her address and she sent it to me on a text, I wanted to copy it and paste it on my sprint navigation system but I couldn't find the copy option.
