Typos, missing capitalization and punctuation, and bad guesses in Swype or voice input are common in entered text. Instead of just tapping Send and hoping your message recipient will know what you mean, you can edit the text by doing any of the following:
- At the blinking text insertion mark, you can type or paste new text or press the Delete key to delete the character to the left.
- To reposition the text insertion mark for editing, tap in the text. If the text insertion mark isn’t positioned correctly, carefully drag the blue marker to the desired spot.
- To select a single word for deletion or replacement, double-tap or long-press the word. To delete it, tap the Delete key; to replace it, type over it.
- To select a specific text string (a word, sentence, or paragraph, for instance), start by selecting a word at the beginning or end of the text that you want to select. Drag the selection handles to highlight the desired text. Then select a command from the pop-up menu above the selection, press the Delete key, or overtype the selected text. (Note that the command icons, their appearance, and whether they’re labeled varies from one app to another. If there are more icons than can be shown at once, they scroll horizontally.)
- To paste the most recently copied or cut text into a text box, set the text insertion mark, tap the blue marker, and then tap Paste in the pop-up that appears.
- When entering and editing text in Email or Gmail, you can tap icons on the toolbar above the message area to insert images, apply character and paragraph formatting, or undo the most recent change.
Pasting Other Material
If you select Clipboard from the pop-up menu rather than Paste, you can paste other material—images, for example—that you recently copied or cut. Tap the item that you want to insert. To remove an unwanted item from the Clipboard, press and hold the item, and tap Delete from Clipboard.
Copying Text from a Web Page
You can also use editing techniques to copy text from a web page. Press to select the first word, and then drag the handles to select the material to copy. In the toolbar that appears, tap Copy to copy the material so that you can paste it elsewhere, or tap Share to copy the material directly into a new email, text message, or Facebook post, for example.
Android 3.0 changed the long press gesture—that is, a touch that's held in the same position for a moment — to be the global gesture to select data.. This affects the way you should handle multi-select and contextual actions in your apps.
What has changed?
In previous versions of Android, the long press gesture was universally used to display contextual actions for a given data item in a contextual menu.
This pattern changed with Android 3.0. The long press gesture is now used to select data, combining contextual actions and selection management functions for selected data into a new element called the contextual action bar (CAB).
i can tap a phone number in a message and it brings up the dialer with the number programmed in. yours doesn't do this?

weird, when did it get changed? and that would drive me nuts.
Ah, GB. Apple won the patent case by the time ICS was released. All later phones were then updated to remove that feature. BrandedGB phones released after that point (like low end HTC and Samsung) got the feature removed. But stock GB was unaffected because, well, Google wasn't building GB anymore at the time.
I have the Samsung Nexus. Recently I got the update and I don't know how to select text in anything my browser has. I cant press down on the page like I used too because it won't let me.

This depends on the browser your using on ICS 4.x.....
most of the time, just double tap fast... you'll get your 2 arrows... select your text by moving the 2 arrows... tap highlighted area once... it will say "text copied to clipbaord"... move to your other app or whatever... double tap the empty text feild... select paste from the menu... and bam... issue resolved...
if your browser doesnt support double-tap, then just LONG PRESS the area
double tap or long press... depends on your broswer.... like Dolphin requires a long press... but Chrome and ICS based browser supports double-tapSource:

It’s been quite a while since we’ve last heard from Google about their popular cross-platform web
browser. Now it is finally announcing the latest version of the Chrome browser for Android that brings in new features that were introduced in Chrome Beta more than a month ago.
Last August, Google gave a preview of some new gestures that it had been developing for the Chrome browser and released it on Chrome Beta for Android. These gestures included the ability to swipe horizontally across the top toolbar to switch tabs. Users will also be able to swipe down from the top in order to trigger the tab switching view. And finally, swiping and dragging from the menu button on the top right will pop up the menu and let users select an item without having to lift their finger again.
