anyone know of a method that addresses this? Perhaps included in cyanogen rom?...
Let's say I'm in the middle of a call and I use the dialpad to enter in a number (customer support usually refers you to different numbers to call), I see the + option that allows you to add that number to a contact or create a new one. I would like to save this number to a text file instead. I know i can just open a notepad and enter it there but it seems more convenient to have an option to save this directly to a file. thanks
nobody has this concern?

I use a pencil.
Seems like a minor inconvenience.

Ok, so a friend asked me to text them with another friends number. Sure, I said, no problem.
I started a new message (using Polymod 2.1D) filled in the number of my friend who asked, and then started to compose the actual message.
But, for love nor money, could I find any option to insert a number from my contact list!
I exited the message and went to the contact list. I found the "Share" option, but that simply made an email with a .vcf attachment!
Is there anyway to be able to insert a contact into a text (sms) message?
The default messaging program isn't that great.
I personally like ChompSMS which does what you want but have a look though the market and see which one is best for you.
And which is Best you think?

Does any one know of any good copy and paste apposition? Preferably off market Cruz I've tried the few in market and the only decent one is copy and paste it but I really would hate having to pay 6-7$ for a function that should be included with the phone

i have been using this for over a year. It is the most awesome. If you find better, let me know -- I set up other ways to trigger the notification bar to come down and I can manage a LOT of account logins and never have to snap out my keyboard.
its free. You need to setup the lists (easier to just use notepad and set it up and then import it... ) Good instructions here http://www.matabii.com/copipe/index.html (need to translate it from japanese w/ chrome or sumtin')
That works for logins but I'm looking for something more along the lines of the copy and paste function on iPhone where I can copy and paste from any part of a website or app

Thats built in
From gmail hit settings more select text...once yo select it its copied
From any website hit settings more and select text...and once yo select its copied.
Then long press on a field and paste....?

I have Exchange/Gmail/Facebook contacts, but why wont the phone murge duplacate numbers??
You have to join the contacts manually....... press and hold on a desired contact until a menu pops up then hit join contact.... then it will show you all your contacts..... now pick the contact you want to merge with the one you picked first..... do this until you have one contact for each person that previously have multiples from different accounts.....
I did murge the contact, so it is only one contact, but it shows the same moible number 2x, the same home number 2x....

Usually will auto merge, but the names have to be exactly the same. It doesn't merge by number

I had that happen to me before = I just manually deleted the duplicates ( I actually had 3 of each ) .... no more problems since then ( thankfully )
If i delete the extra numbers, will it delete it from my exchange/gmail account??
Thanks!

Folks,
I need to have 2 mobile numbers in my contact for the same person.
It seems in HTC Desire is not possible. i'm using LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3-Port-R5.
Is it possible to replace the People app with something else which support 2 or more mobil number in a contact ?
I know i can enable this if the contact is saved on google contact, but i do not want to use Google contact. Thank you.
why are you so complicated? are you syncing with outlook or something?
if not i would say you just use one of the other options...
go to contacts, edit contact, click on new, than on the white button near the number and maybe you try the "Second Number" i dont know if it serves your needs
but if someof my contact has a second number it has always a reason, so i put it to privat or work or car dunno ....
maybe i helped you deciding
Hi crendot,
Yes i tried put the second mobile number as other number such as 'work' or 'fax'.
It's just a matter of convenience.
Does anybody has a better solution ? Thanks.
Contacts - edit - add number - change fax / home what ever to mobile... put the number in....
If you can't do that... change to another rom
if its so important for you i have a other solution
its a workaround and not realy neat but it does its job
make a new contact with the mobilenumber you want, set it like you want and than go to the other contact where "mobile" is already in use.
just go at the top to the chain, to combine/link them together, here go to all contact, select the one you just made and tada both have mobile
best solution i can offer
have a nice day
is it really so complex add 2 mobile numbers in the same contact? at the moment im on cm, but even on sense rom u can do that simply..
@BigMrB
I can't do that. Do you know which rom that allows me to do that ?
@andQlimax
sense rom do not allow you to add 2 mobile number under the same contact.
@crendot
yes it's useful. but i think i'll switch to another rom. Thanks a lot for your help.

Hey folks,
I've been able to get by, copy pasting using a long press. But I've noticed that it doesn't work in a number of areas. I had trouble with the native email (not gmail) app. I want to copy a tracking number from the email, but there's no way to do it. I even tried to reply and fwd the email to make the text editable... but no luck.
Long pressing in the email app seems to highlight the text, but no options come up, and the menu button gives me irrelevant settings.
It seems that there is no hardware shortcut or hotkey to copy and paste! This is terrible and so inconvenient.
Does anyone know a way to program the quick keys to perform cut, copy and paste maneuvers? I imagine it would be pretty simple to do. It would finally make good use of those 3 crummy keys.
Thanks

I have no trouble copying from my email... you long press, drag the highlight across your desired text, and then tap quickly... a toast messages appears saying that it was copied to the clipboard...
What ROM are you using?
Edit: Ah, I see you're also running CM7. You should have the capability.

I can copy/paste from gmail without issue by long pressing. But it won't work from the email app that I use for my yahoo account.

Yeah, I can copy/paste from my non-gmail email application too. Mine is AOL, but really it should not matter... that's weird it doesn't work you... lemme try something...
I just tried copying in gmail and it works the same as my other email...
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bp.android.zarrow
maybe this can help you, it adds a possibility to have hardware copy/paste shortcuts
MENU+A -> select/deselect all
MENU+C -> copy selected
MENU+V -> paste
Thank you for the replies!
I figured it out. The problem I had was that I couldn't perform the copy function in the native email (not gmail) app. I managed to select the text with a long press, but there was no way to copy it to my clipboard... or so I thought. Turns out pressing the trackpad once the text is selected copies it!
And thanks for the app suggestion. I was rooting around the dev guide hoping to map the quick keys to cut, copy and paste. That would make good use of them
EDIT: Sorgo, I can't seem to download that app. Oddly enough I can't download most apps recently because the market claims my device is not compatible. This happened not too long ago. I'm on CM7 #220 running 2.3.7. I thought it was because I had changed my resolution in my build.prop file, but even with a default build.prop, I can't download a thing. Any suggestion there?

I managed to download Z Arrow. I will test it out tomorrow, thank you.
I went back to my default build.prop at 240 lcd density and cleared the market cache. By the way, neither of this two things alone ever worked for me, but together it seems to do the trick and fix the incompatibility issue I mentioned earlier.
