A very annoying thing happens when I open a text message on my Kaiser. The default vertical position is all the way at the bottom of the message, causing none of the message to actually show up on the screen. I always have to scroll to the top. This happens for all messages--unread, read, sent. Is there any way to change this?
If you have Kaisertweaks loaded ... under pocketie dpad scroll should be disabled. (believe that was a fix last time I searched..)
Yep, that's what worked for me

Thanks guys, Tht's been annoying me too. Gotta love these forums!
Thanks. That worked, however I really liked having the D-Pad function enabled because I hated PocketIE scrolling to the next link rather than just scrolling down. Is there any other way to fix the problem?

Hey all,
I've managed to get a far better response on my keyboard by making a simple change. I find it surprising that the keyboard issue only affects Pocket Outlook, I've never had a problem elsewhere.
Anyway, the fix is to change the keyboard repeat settings. In Settings/System/Keyboard, click "Repeats Setting" and increase the "Delay before first repeat". Now this is where it gets wierd...Outlook actually ignores this setting. It's labeled as "up/down key repeat setting" and it does actually control the up/down action on the Today screen in the same way as the same control on a regular computer. But it doesn't work on the hardware keyboard on the phone, and I expect that this incompatibility leads to the problem. It reminds me a lot of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switch#Contact_bounce in electronics, basically you aren't getting a clean "key down" then "key up" event from each keypress.
Hope this helps some of you!
The problem in Messaging is that every time you type a letter into the message field the horizontal scrollbar appears and disappears. This happens every keypress. Since keypress = keyDown + keyUp, and the scrollbar appears during keyDown, the OS sometimes (quite often when you type fast) misess the keyUp event, repeating and repeating and repeating the processing of keyDown event.
The kb lag is present in ALL apps (try typing FAST in Notes), but most of the apps do not do anything specific between keyDown and keyUp, thus the lag is not as easy to 'notice'.
Yeah, I still get the scrollbar problem, however before making this change Messaging was completely unusable for me. I had to wait 1sec between key presses otherwise I just get gobbledygook on the screen. It was very frustrating and I assumed that's what people refered to by "keyboard lag". The scrollbar thing is a different problem altogether and just a minor annoyance for me now, a purely visual one.
At the moment I can type "the quick brown fox..." in both Messaging and Notes at full speed with no errors. Yesterday I could not do that in Messaging at all.
Yup... The MOST annoying thing about the kblag is the backspace-key auto-repeat :|
I just slided the setting to 7 and it's great now. Thanks fraser.
Everytime I go to view a text message, it takes me to the very bottom of the message, and I have to scroll up to view it. Anyway to fix that?
disable d-pad scroll in kaiser tweak!
or something like that(memory rusty)
Oh my God, you guys are awesome, that was annoying the crap out of me.
When in the standard WM texting screen, the recieved text is huge!
It USED to be tiny after I posted a message about this before and someone told me to go into Settings > Screen and make the text size small.
My text for the current message I'm typing remains small, but for some unknown reason, the received text has jumped up a couple of sizes.
Another suggestion was to click on the keboard settings and choose 'Other Input Methods' > Options > Options > and change both zoom levels to 75%, but this does nothing either.
How can I get my received text back to the minimum size?!?!?!
I think this phone is brilliant, but all these silly niggles are really getting me down. The other problem I've just started having is that on every web page I open, the keyboard pops up. When I close it, it pops up again - and does this a couple of times.... eventually staying closed. REALLY annoying!! Surely it should only pop up if I click on a text box?

Use the zoomwheel located around the dpad. you can increase/decrease font size of conversation this way
BTW, the wheel also works in Mail and in the Office applications, so if you touch it by mistake you can inadvertently change the text size.
Perfect...
Exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks guys...
Thanks! I was wondering why it seemed to randomly change size!
silly question but where is the zoomwheel?

It's the round circle on the botton of the key/touchpad which you just have to touch with your finger and swiffle it around clockwise for bigger text and counter-clockwise for smaller text!
Good luck!

My exact thoughts when i first got the diamond, i thought it had loads of bugs til i figured them all out.
This has just started recently... but I've made so many changes, I'm not sure which one affected it. When typing a new or replying to a SMS or email, occasionally (key word there) the letters that I'm typing won't show up. The cursor moves - and if/when I send it, all the letters I've typed will send. Also if I save it as a draft, then re-open it, it shows everything... then I can type a few more letters, and it blanks out again. Any suggestions or help as to what this is? It's only in the message entry part of the screen; I can still see the start menu and bottom menu bars.
Thanks!
If it is only happening in Landscape mode then turn of ClearType font. Cleartype font no longer displays correctly in WM 6.1 in landscape mode. There is a setting in KaiserTweaks that says it will but it only forces something and makes it so text does not display at all.
it's happening in both modes... and cleartype isn't enabled - nor is it in KaiserTweaks. any other suggestions?
its a long shot, but the keyboard hardware speed up cab here might tweak somthing to make it work, its a long shot but it sounds like to me a glitch in the reg....
This is happening to me as well!!!
This is also happening to me. I installed a couple of programs recently including the HTC update to fix the backlight issue, Pocket Sudoku, The RR Keyboard Speed increase cab, Raisak's Flatbar black, and Pocket RAR. Did you install any of these recently?
I did install the RR keyboard - but none of the others and I haven't done the backlight fix. My messages were lagging bigtime - not the stereotypical missing the occasional letter because I type too fast, but I'd click on new sms and it'd literally take 30 seconds or longer to open. I don't know that i've fixed it but I disabled HTC home and HTC homeplugin and then ran the RR keyboard cab, then enabled the HTC apps. I haven't been able to make it mess up again...yet.
*edit* its still having issues. But I can't figure out why sometimes it works just fine and others I literally have to soft reset it to get it to respond.
Sometimes when I am trying to text I can only see one line and my phone doesn't allow me to scroll down. If I hit enter I can still only see the one line. Anyone else have this problem?

That will happen occassionally. I think the only way to fix it is by closing and then reopening the messaging app.
I have seen this happen often if you hit a button to launch the messaging app, and then slide the keyboard open (causing screen rotation) while the app is loading. It gets confused and makes the text entry area fall under the bottom button bar.
The answer is to completely close and re-open the messaging app, and always wait until it is fully loaded before sliding the keyboard out.
Another trick is to load the SIP. Touch the keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen and it will push the text input window out.
