Cannot dial a number from a text message, or copy and paste

On my 9900 Bold I could press on a phone number in the text messages and the phone would dial. That function no longer works with the Z10. Can't even copy and paste a number from text messages to dial pad. Please help!

The issue is fixed in 10.1

How can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center

how can i remove the phone number from the text messages that i receive in the notification center?

You choose whether to see text messages in Notification Center or not. If you elect to see them, they will display the phone number (unless they are from a contact in your contacts list).
You can choose not to see them at Settings > Notification Center > Messages.

Trying to dial a number in an email, when I press on number all I get are the "copy" triangles How do you dial a number from a text or email?

Heck even a flip phone will dial a number from a text or email, it is in the S4 and S5 manual but not in S6

Since the last firefox update I cannot use Adobe pdf doc viewer nor can I copy and paste in my browser. I am not happy about this

Since the last firefox upgrade my copy/paste and adobe doc viewer functionality is gone.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== last upgrade

That is a bug in Firefox.
You can set the Boolean pref dom.event.clipboardevents.enabled to false on the about:config page or alternatively hold down Ctrl+C keys until the translate selection disappears that text in the left input text area start flashing.

E65 nokia copy and paste number from contacts to t...

i tried to copy a number from contact name by coping it and paste it to the text message, however i could not do it. please adviec Mazen

There is no mention normally of this in the user guides but normally it is the case that when writing your text, select Options & Insert Contact. Find the name of the person you want to insert then press Options. Select View details and you will be shown all the details for the contact i.e. contact name, phone no.(s), email address etc etc. Scroll up/down to highlight the specific detail you want then press Select and it will be added to your text.
Please note instructions given were for 6230i but would expect same or similar for all models

Copy and Paste text from Tabnavigator?

Within a tab navigator, I am using a canvas that contains an
mx:form and mx:formItem to display the query results. I would like
to be able to give the users the ability to highlight the text
displayed to copy and paste. Is there a built-in option that allows
this?

How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly

How can I dial a phone number from an email message directly,
But even before the selection i will change or correct the number?
If I copy the number in the notebook, all spaces are filled with % signs.
When I dictate SIRI the number I get the answer: I do not know the number
If I copy the number in the phone selection (above) the number can not be edited afterwards.

You can dial a number appearing in an email by tapping on it.
But if you need to correct the number first you cannot edit a received email.
To edit the number tap on the forward symbol and when the draft comes up you should be able to correct the phone number, copy it and paste into your Phone App. Then delete the forward email without sending it.

Cannot edit phone number from dialer

How can you edit a phone number in the dialer if it originally came from a text message?

I would like to add *67 to the front of the number.

Can't "prepend" a phone number from a text, document or website?

When the Pre recognizes a phone number in a text message, e-mail, document or website, it allows you to click on the number to call it. Great so far. Unfortunately, once you do so, and completely arbitrarily, the phone won't let you make any edits of any kind to the phone number except to add or delete from the end of the number. Every phone I've ever had has allowed me to "prepend" a number (to, for example, add an area code). More to the point, there is simply no good reason for the Pre to prevent me from making whatever edits I want to the number. I should be fully able to hold down the orange key and move the cursor anywhere that I want within the number and then make edits, just like I can when I enter a number manually. Unfortunately, for no apparent good reason, the phone allows no edits of any sort to any number I've clicked on from another source.
Can anybody suggest a workaround, or do is this just one of those bizarre "what were they thinking" type things I have to live with?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Yeah, and I can also copy and paste the number instead of just clicking on it, but both solutions completely and entirely defeat the whole purpose and convenience of being able to simply click on a number in another source to dial it. I don't want to have to add numbers I'm going to be calling only once to contacts just to make small changes before I dial them, and then have to delete them from contacts when I'm done. There is a reason that users can simply click on phone numbers in documents and texts to dial them, and that is convenience. Not being able to make simple edits kills off some of that convenience. Workarounds like adding to contacts or cutting and pasting kill almost all of it.

I have an iPhone 4s, and I cannot copy and paste text from facebook.

I have an iPhone 4s, and I cannot copy and paste text from facebook. I opened Safari and tapped/held the text I wanted to copy, but nothing happened. I have tried everything, and I am getting frustrated.

Are the use the correct email address for the contact? Those are listed in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. When Messaging somene the iOS devices used the email address (or phone number if applicable) listed in the Contact app for that person.
Thus, it appears the you Contact apps only has that one email address listed for the person you are trying to Message.
If he can send you a Messages can you reply to it? If so save the sender to your Contact app.

Cannot send photo or contact as text message

Running the newest update 8.1 (10/22/2014) on a iPhone 5S. I STILL cannot share a contact via text message. I STILL cannot send a photo as a text message when I select a photo directly from my camera roll/photo albums. I can send a photo in an EMAIL directly from the camera roll/photo albums, but not in a text message. I can start a text message and then click on the camera icon and attach the photo. I haven't been able to do this since iOS 8 came out.
Sharing a contact and a photo via text messages were things I could do with iOS 7. Anyone else having this problem?

With iOS 7 you would open your camera roll or album, select the photo you wanted, click on send as a message, then it would take you to the text screen where you could see the photo being sent as it asked you for the recipient's phone. Now when I click on send as a message it takes me to the text screen, but as you can see, the photo is not attached. Same thing with a contact…I can click on "share contact as a text message" but when it takes me to the text screen, nothing is attached.

How do I permanently delete contacts from my text message log?

How do I permanently delete contacts from my text message log? It still shows old contacts once I've removed them from my phonebook

i know that!! After you delete them and then compose a new text it is still there. Basically you know when you send an email to someone and do not store them it still auto populates their name. This is what happens with my phone. I Google this issue and learn some knowledge about data eraser tips. Maybe most people still don’t know that actual contents of file are not really deleted when performing simple deletion operation on your iPhone or other devices. But they are just marked for deletion and not shown in the file system of your iOS device. The actual data are still physically present on your iPhone. For iOS system, the only way to completely erase the data is to overwrite the original contents by using iPhone data eraser app. this is the guide on how to permanently delete contacts on iPhone.
The same thing happens to me, but it doesn't require deleting a contact. When I delete/replace a contact's number, the Messages.app still autocompletes the number with the contact's name and references it as "other".

I cannot send a photo nor a text message that contains a photo

I cannot send a photo nor a text message that contains a photo from my iphone. My cellular is on & my Wi-Fi. I have tried sending a photo with both on, WiFi off & cellular on, and WiFi on with cellular on. What else can I try?

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go. (No data loss)

How do i save a picture to the camera roll from a text message in ios 7

I am attempting to save a picture from a text message to my camera roll. However when i hold the picture the options are "copy/More" More gives the options to delete or forward via text message. And if i press copy it only copies it to be pasted. In the past i was given several options to send the pic via email/text/save to camera roll/drop box etc.
Please advise as to how i can save pictures from my text to the camera roll.
Thank you!

If you receive a picture via email or text message in ios 7 and when you press the action icon to save the picture and you do not get the option to save to your camera roll. Press and hold on the the image and you will get an overlay pop up to save the image. I have no idea why some attachments don't have option in action menu to save in the camera roll but by experimentation and earned frustration I found the above to work in certain situations.
Be well and have fun and feel rewarded in your frustrations. For without challenges, life would be an utter bore.

I have a brand new IPhone 4G. For the life of me, I can't get the phone to ring. I have been in and out of my settings, have disengaged both silent and vibrate. But when dialing my number from another phone, the call goes direclty into my voice mail

I have a brand new IPhone 4G. I can't get it to ring. I have gone into settings and disengaged vibrate, and have engaged the ring button on side of phone. But everytime I dial my number from a different phone, it doesn't ring. Rather the call goes directly into my voice mailbox (ogm heard immediately); not even one ring! Please advise

Well, if it goes to VM immediately the call isn't reaching your phone, so no wonder it isn't ringing. Do you see a network displayed in the upper left of the screen? Have you activated the phone by connecting to a computer with the latest version of iTunes? Have you called your carrier to make sure they have provisioned it correctly?
