Is there any way to show a zoom balloon (like on the iphone), whenever sliding over a text field to show us where the marker is, and allow us to move it correctly.

  • What phone and version of Android are you running? Some alternative methods are available, but it's dependent on the hardware and software. – MBraedley Mar 18 '11 at 11:03

My Motorola Defy has this capability. My phone is running Android 2.1. When you hold your finger over the text field, it will pop up a zoomed in window that allows you to move the cursor with your finger to edit text.

  • Does anyone know if this is a Motorola added feature? – Peter Moberg Mar 18 '11 at 14:17
  • I have pop-up zoom when selecting text, and nice cursor "handles" for both selecting text and moving the cursor when I type. This is on my Samsung phone (using the stock Android keyboard). – Matthew Read Mar 18 '11 at 14:23
