If you hold the section that you want to copy a new menu should pop up allowing you to select text and copy it.

it's a little difficult at first, but you will get use to it. what you have to do is fine what you want to copy and hold you finger over it. a menu will pop up and you should be able to select copy. navigate to where you want to paste it and press down on the screen. a menu will pop up and then you select paste.

Ok, I'm on tapatalk, and I'm trying to copy text and its not working at all. I don't wanna say this is the wrong platform cuz I should be able to copy any text I want. I don't need a app right?

I find the trick is to tap-and-hold at the start or end point of what you want to select... when the popup appears, choose Select Text... that activates the selection process... now, tap to the left or right of what you want to copy to select the "end" point (effectively you've chose "from here" and "to here")... then tap and hold again and choose Copy/Cut... in the web browser it's a lot easier... tap-and-hold auto-selects a word/paragraph/sentence based on context, and you can grab the selectors to shorten/extend the selection.

I can't do it either. If you text yourself or someone texts you a clickable link and I long tap on it I get 7 options but none are to cut, copy, paste... if I just short tap it it asks if I want to open it in a browser. I wish I was able to copy or cut the link from with in the email so I can paste that link in a text to someone else.

Must be something with the text messaging app then... because the function works everywhere else. Try downloading Handcent SMS or other alternative SMS app.

Is it possible to copy a phone # from a email and paste it into the dialer, if so how? I was able to do this on my windows phones, but can't figure it out on the Evo.

I use handsent sms and the only option it gives me is to copy the entire field. This, to me, is the biggest problem with andriod, and I can't understand why more people aren't discussing it or finding solutions. Am I missing something?? The copy/paste feature seems to be a feature built into each app (in their own way), and not on the base OS or andriod (i know it works on stock programs, but to me it should be a basic function of the OS it self for EVERY program, not just what comes stock on the phone!!), like in WM. What gives?! Can we PLEASE get more attention to this issue, anyone?

Just tap on the number, even though it doesn't appear to be a link.

doesnt work for me...this is such an essential feature I can't believe HTC would leave this out.
