i remember reading a few people say they could copy and paste things in text messages and stuff. But im not able to do it, can someone tell me if its possible? im still on v.11, havent updated my software.

should work on V11

just hold the pen and then highlight your text. then release the pen and hit copy.

Indeed. You have to fudge that by using "forward" and then coping what you want from that message (since that'll be editable). You can then delete the forward message and paste into a new message or wherever you want.

you just have to get the text in an edit capable state, which for your sms inbox has to be forwarded. I make many forum replies from my phone like this one, and copy and paste is always active as i type in this text box right now. Not a big deal honestly.
