I am not sure if this is specific to the Note, but am I the only one who feels completely frustrated when it comes to attempting to copy text from websites, or emails?
I don't know even where to begin to describe how unintuitive and frankly, nearly impossible, it is to do this most basic of function.
IMHO, copying text should be no more difficult than long pressing anywhere at the start or end of any text i would want to copy and then dragging to the finish point, remove finger, then menu comes up with copy/cut/paste, etc as applicable to the application. That's what would happen in an any sane world.
But on the Note, if i am "lucky" (it doesnt work with Dolphin browser at all, my default browser), i get an option to select word or entire doc, or some such b******s, even if i am no where near a "word" when I long press to select.
Then it seems to select a word or part thereof in some random position in the document with completely unusable "wings" to finely tune the selection - haha, what a joke! I stab and swipe uselessly at these "wings" & occasionally they will move, usually in the opposite direction to that intended, or disappear completely, leaving me with rising adrenalin and recourse to simply giving up and/or waiting to be able to get onto my PC to do the job.
I love the phone to bits, but this frankly appalling state of affairs is the single most frustrating aspect for me bar none.
Am i the only one trying to use this phablet as a business tool which needs frequent copy and pasting? Or am I missing something? Is there a fix? Will ICS help when it finally arrives?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
