Font Size in SMS ! HELP ME PLEASE ! - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I would like to know how can I change the font size in messages? The size changed, but I do not know because of what. I put a 75% interest in the options but this does not change. Help me please!

Touch the white-illuminated middle wheel and gently make circles like you'd do to your girlfriend
(or .... RTFM )

Wish I'd known this yesterday. I spent ages figuring this out. Ended up changing it via Settings>System>Screen, but that also changes the size of your inbox.
Good tip. Thanks!

I saw wired side effect, but I m using it, first open one of your emails from inbox, after that open sms from Text inbox, you will see fonts become bigger...

HELP: Display the Digital Clock in Today's Screen

Do you know how to display the Large Digital Clock again in Home. It was lost after i tried to soft reset my hanging Diamond. I already tried to check the TF3D checkbox in the settings\today..
Do you think it will appear again if i do a Hard Reset? Or is it dangerous doing so... will it remove the preinstalled software like YouTube, mp3trimmer, ETC.
Pls, help...Thanks.

Put your finger on the calendar and slide your finger down.
err.. I think you have posted the same thing earlier.

Same query.. well you can always bump it up by putting up another post in the same thread.
Put your finger on the calendar and slide your finger down.
Do you mean the date in the home page? The two pieces of paper-like time does not appear. It just displays a something like below: (sorry i don't have a camera with me)
5:30 PM
Appointments​
Note: they all appear on plain text. How do the time with moving graphics appear?
Thanks.
Forgive me lordRaj. It will not happen again. Just join the forum today...
One more time
Long shot..
I am assuming you now have the small clock.
In the center. Do you see the arrow head right below the clock? above the call history?
If yes
Use your thumb or finger and place it over that arrow head and swipe downwards.
If it works.. great.. if not... sorry mate
All the best.

It's not a problem mate. (for me anyways.. sorry if it sounded like I had a problem)
Just want to know if THAT proposed solution worked or not. That's all
because if it didn't, you can put up that you TRIED that.. and it didn't work, so people can suggest something else.
Cheers

Diamond novice needs your help... PLS!!!

After having a Touch a few months back, i thought the Diamond would be a breeze. NO such luck in my experience.
For example. On the main home screen. How do you edit that so it's just the clock or, to add more to the list that currently shows calendar and call history? I can't find any way to do this so if you can enlighten me, i'd really appreciate it.
What about when texting? Is there any way to make the keypad a different size? Personally i can't find a way to edit that. It's annoying that after adding your contacts name, you seemingly have 90% of the screen filled with the entry system and you have to mess about to get to the message section of the screen. Guessing i've missed something somewhere!
Zooming in on a photo... how is that done? Orange's CD ROM User Manual is vague to say the least so if you can assist here to, please do.
This thread could become a handy hints and tips chart for beginners if all feedback is good so if you have a question or some simple advice for settings and the way to go around things, chuck a note in and someone will be very happy to see the reply
1) Well if u flick ur finger in an upward motion on the home screen u'll notice the clock becoming smaller and will list all the list all ur appointments from ur calendar...
2) If u are not satisfied in the HTC Keyboard, u will need to look into other keyboards my fav personally is Touchpal from Cootek and there is even resco keyboard which is pretty gud.
3) You can only zoom in a picture when u r in the HTC Album, in order to zoom you will need to rotate your finger clockwise or anti-clockwise i am always forget which is for zooming so u will need chk tht out...
I hope these tips helps u out....

Hmmmmmm, i see. Shame that somehow we can't take the good things from the Touch like the Home screen as standard and have them in the 3D instead. If any cab compilers are reading this, maybe it's something that could be done?
Along those lines, maybe someone could rip out the original texting keyboard, the smaller more compact one... better for stylus use and enables you to see more screen. I HATE the big finger pad they've put on the Diamond. Is is really necessary to have it that big? Surely if you're going to use the stylus (i mean if HTC didn't want us to use one, then ALL the functions and menus would be larger, yes?), then why provide us with one in the first place?!?!!

There are multiple SIPs already built into the Diamond. Holding your finger or stylus on the small arrow next to the keypad button when input is allowed will display the menu, from there you can select the Windows SIP which is tiny and stylus friendly...
Reading the manual is a good idea before posting dude. Or even a search

Well thanks for that reply. I'll have a mess about with that one.
That took no time at all. NO WINDOWS SIP on my handset. All i have are the following... BLOCK, COMPACT, FULL, KEYBOARD, LETTER, PHONEPAD and TRANSCRIBER *sigh*
What bloody version have you got?!?!!
Oh and for the record Mr Read-The-Text-Provided (lol)... did i not say this? ---> Orange's CD ROM User Manual is vague to say the least so if you can assist here to, please do.
Hmmmmm, i think i did!
Ok... answer this one then. Every other HTC phone i have had has done this but not on the Diamond. When you receive a simple thing like an mms or a text, the screen lights to give a clue in case you never heard the message laert. How you you activate THAT cus i'm not seeing how it'ds done anywhere.
Clues please?
I agree - the 'manual/instructions' Orange sent were non-existent and as a first time PPC user I was totally lost until I had a nosey around here and to be fair am still learning all what this phone can do!

HTC want a good kicking if you ask me. The thing as I see it is this. If they'd have kept the basics as it was on the Kaiser (Tytn II) and THEN added the 3D, all would have been superb.
As for Orange... well, nuff said

Thanks for that chap. My tone? Oh well if i've offended anyone then i apologise. I'm just a bit jumpy when things don't go according to plan and my comments come over as slightly abrasive when in fact, they're supposed to come over as a normal question but in a jokey type manner. I get that in a face to face sitation to so i know exactly what you're saying.
Again, thanks for the reply though. Much appreciated

[REQ] Applications: 1st vibration feedback for dialing 2. add squares for program

That's it... and I will pay.
I would like some vibration for when I dial
and more squares for program short cuts.
Thanks in advance.
What kind of squares you need? What did you mentioned?

When you scroll over to programs and there is a bunch of squares that are short cuts to your programs... sort of Iphone like. I want more of them... like an unlimited amount.
You can shrink spaces between shortcuts,so you can see more icons at once. Or you can try to play with my own tool,that can completely skin start menu,but without scrolling feature. Anyway relatively unlimited number of subfolders/pages,10x10 icons maximum in one page,everything is designed as bitmaps. Only thing is needed - designer of some themes. I will start new thread about it in Software section.
Nope, i just want more squares.
If you want to change the number of 'squares' in the Program Files (as opposed to TF3D) then try this: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=561
the vibrate on keypad is in the Kaiser area...it is slightly annoying in reality (I used to think it would be nice but I think in the end it's not the best idea)
I am pretty sure he's talking about the number of squares on the TF3D programs tab.

perhaps would this be a registry edit?

If so it likely would have been figured out by now. The difficult with which to even map the games folder to an icon indicates there is likely a lot more to it.
can anyone work on this?
I don't have an answer on the 'squares' but here's an answer for some haptics at least: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=676
Any one know if there is a program or setting that 'clicks' every time you click on the touchscreen. Kinda like the Blackberry Thunder.

text conversation window nightmare

Hey all,
Got my new diamond. Love it to bits. Only one bit that's started to drive me round the bend. There must be a solution somewhere.....
I was quite pleased to see the text message conversation feature - you know the one where you can type beneath a text you've recieved to reply and reffer to the previous text as you're doing so, also if you scroll up you'll see your whole convo with that contact. Nice feature....
However:
The window for replying in is SO SMALL that I can't actually read what I'm typing. I get almost the lenght of a whole letter in it so i can kind of read a few words but scrolling is impossible.
The scroll up and down arrows are right next to each other.
It's highly impractical and almost impossible to use. Worst when keyboard and T9 are activated.
Anyone know how to fix this?
I tried clicking on the black divider line between the original message and the reply you're typing and dragging it up.
No luck....
All help greatfully recieved (doubtless I'm missing something?)
There is a solution (have you searched?)
You need to edit thread_sms.htm in the windows folder. You'll need to use Total Commander to edit the file because it's a protected ROM file.
Or just use the newer, smaller keyboards that are just as practical and take less of the screen.

Not sure which keyboards you mean but it won't help since the reply section of the page is a fixed height. Altering it so that you can see more than one line of the reply can be very useful.
On the subject of keyboards, I want to recommend TouchPal (again) - not only is the keypad resizable (by dragging), it has better T9 input and the word candidates don't stick up above the top of the keyboard. This means the window resizing works properly and it doesn't have the bug on tapping the screen when selecting a candidate in Opera.

I think he's referring to new the keyboard in the 2.00.421.1 Diamond ROM image. pistonripper has cooked a custom, lightweight version.

Yep searched google repeatedly before I came here. Figured google would turn results up from here but hey, could just be my dyslexia. Thanks for the help. I'll see what I can find on here about total commander and thread_sms.htm to figure it out.
Wish me luck
Thanks a lot guys! That solved it I REALLY appreciate the help.
If anyone else has the same problem it's as the guys said: google 'total commander pda' get the .cab file from their site (you want the Pocket PC one obviously).
Install it by popping it on your diamond and clicking it on file explorer.
Then use the file menu to search for 'thread_sms.htm'
When it shows up click the edit button (first icon, the one to the right of the word 'show' bit of paper with a pen next to it).
I changed the height on one of the lines contained 'composesubject' and width 98% from 35 up to 70. Saved and went back into sms.
Tada.
Beutiful three lines.
Thanks again to all who helped and search for thread_sms.htm on this site if you need more help as a lot of the guys have solved it.
Lastly for the google folks here are a few words that might help them find this:
diamond sms window screen too small one line tiny conversation text message reply can't read
Nice one

Task Tab in TF3D

A long time ago I posted this:
I know that I would donate $10 to someone who can take the time to figure this out. It has to be possible to add a Tasks tab to the TF3D interface.
I don't want to have to switch to second today or anything like that - fully integrated! A clean and simple list of tasks maybe with an "X" delete button on the right side of each task.
I know people say it's impossible, but with some time I'm sure it can be done.
If you would like this too and would be willing to donate some - just leave a post saying so - maybe someone will be enticed to collect such a prize enough to figure it out!
If you do figure it out and post a reply - you're my hero and please set up a thread for donations!
edit: By tasks I mean things you have to do in real life - NOT a list of running programs - linked in to the 'Tasks' program that's a part of outlook...
Click to expand...

Now I sort of have it.
With Manila Today Page showing TasksPlus - I now have one of the tabs as tasks well integrated
BUT - I still want it to show a little notification (the little bubble on the e-mail and txt tabs that shows how many of those new you currently have)
Any ideas?
can we get a screenshot of what u have going?

Sorry guys about the delay - Was out of the country
Here's a couple screen shots
The only things left to fix is a notification bubble to say how many txts I have without scrolling to it and to fix the icon in the TF3d
