Copy/Paste Not Working/Freezes Apps

[demon09]

Hi All,

I got my S2 about a week and a half ago, and installed ICS as soon as I could (few hours after buying it). I seem to be having an issue with copying text. It doesn't matter if its in the text messaging app or a browser (Chrome, stock, or Firefox), as soon as I highlight text and hit copy, the app freezes and FCs.

I'm not sure if its an issue with ICS or with my launcher (I'm using Apex with a vanilla ICS theme).

Has anyone else had this issue with the stock launcher, or with Apex, for that matter?

I'm having the same exact problem and it's bothering me so bad since I use copy/paste alot! If you or anyone come across a fix please post it.

So far I wiped all cache and tried stock launcher and still no luck.

Ok demon09 if you haven't already figured it out here's what I did to fix it:

1. Download Titanium Backup
2. Back up everything (all apps & app data)
3. Do a factory reset (I also wiped cache but may not be necessary)
4. Last re download Titanium Backup and restore then reboot from menu.. There you go! Back to normal like nothing ever happened.

Thanks, I'll give it a shot after work tomorrow.

Cheers!
