[REQ] SMS fix ? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

is there any cabs so that when your texting you can see more than 1 line of written text ? i find it impossible to write long texts as you can only see last couple of words and its daft . anyone ideas? please thankyou

hmmm, any pics of what you mean?

havent really got any pics but just sort of like a normal phone whereas you can read pretty much all of what your typing on the same screen instead of getting to word 4 and finding word 1 has vanished of the screen .

He means when you're using the HTC on screen keyboard which is so big it takes up like 90% of the screen leaving very little of your message visible when writing a new SMS. I don't use that keyboard myself but I do remember it from when I first got the phone and tried it out; it would be good if the font size on the 'compose new SMS' screen could be made smaller to help people who do use that keyboard.

One of the tweaks packages allows you to change editor from threaded to classic - maybe not ideal but a workaround!

I changed the height of the SMS reply part of the screen and I changed the Windows Mobile font size in the Settings - System - Screen - Text size tab. And while reading your sms (thread), you can also adjust the conversation font size with your 'scroll wheel'.

User Letter Recognizer
I use the Letter Recognizer method, instead of querty keyboard or the T9 keyboard input methods.
it's much easier to write messages and the screen occupied by the Letter Recognier itself is very little, hence more text lines visible. Just perfect.
It might take some time to get used to the Letter Recognizer. But you'll really like it once you get a hang of it.

Threaded sms in Diamond - make font smaller

The font in the threaded sms in HTC DIamond is ridiculously huge. Not the font of my own typing, but the font of the sms i'm replying to. How do i make the font smaller?
When i had a tytn2, going to start > settings > system > screen > and adjusting font size here solved the problem. Doesnt seem to work for Diamond. Or am i missing something here?
At the threaded sms screen....put your finger on the circle button's circumference and move it clockwise..or CCW for smaller font..
owh....****. *embarassed*. Sorry my bad. thanks! (no wonder i felt that when i first bought diamond i felt the font was smaller, must have enlarged it accidentally)
Hi,
I have the same issue and tried the method you recommend, but it doesn't change anything. However I found out a registry key that does perfectly the job: go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\Zoom and enter a DWORD value that ranges from 1 (smallest font size) to 4 (largest font size - default).
thanks thats been driving me nuts...
I am glad that I did search~~ cause I was going to change do it with regedit too~~
Sorry to resurrect this.....
Is there a way to change the size of the actual text input box for sms / outlook?
With medium text size, when I'm replying to an sms I can see roughly two lines of text in the reply box. Is there a way of making the box bigger so i can see three or four lines of text in the reply box at a medium text size setting?
ALSO It seems you can only decrease the font size of the input text in the system settings, unlike using the d pad to change the font size of the message thread.
You sure can change the area in threaded sms to see a little more of what you typing.
The file thread_sms.htm (found in /windows or in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467966&highlight=thread_sms.htm ) is the key.
If you open the file linked with forinstance notepad you see in line 21 the keyword height=35.
35 is the default value, change that to 70 to double the height of your writing area.
save the file and overwrite the thread_sms.htm in /windows directory on the phone by using total commander or the like.
Kindly
Kwasmir
Thanks, man that small area was BUGGING me!!!!
Cheers!

Texting on Diamond

I'm having a bit of bother with the texting on the Diamond.
Its probably a standard WM issue, but as this is my first WM phone I dont know if theres a way to fix it?
I send a text (no problem) and then I get a reply...
When I reply to this it goes into 'conversation view' - but only leaves me one line to see what I'm writing. Is there a way I can move the previous texts up and get say 3 or 4 lines to see what I've written?
Even when I hide the keyboard I can only see 1.5 lines of the text I'm writing.
A tad annoying!
Yeh, I find that fairly annoying too. I definitely miss the SE P-series implementation for handwriting recognition, takes up no screen space at all and is accurate and responsive. If WM could integrate that, would be a generally much more usable platform...
start > settings > system > Screen > text size.
smaller leaves more space in your type screen, allowing u to see more
also in your keyboard there's an options button, press it, look for zooming when typing, and reduce it
Anyway to make the new sms screen pop up fast?
Seems to be needing alot of steps to create a sms and MMS

thanks for that...
now I can see 3 lines at a time! Still not ideal, but a huge improvement

Visible lines in threaded sms

Does anybody know, if it's possible to have more than one visible row of text when answering an sms in the conversation app in WM 6.1? I find it very annoying, not to see the text completey that i've written.
the only thing I found is to make text size smaller (Start-settings-screen-text size) You get 2 lines and avery line has lot more text, so I think it's enough, I don't feel any problem when messaging (I have text size set to the 2nd level). I think it's much more readable than bigger text that make confusion. But it's an opinion
Whilst in the text\email message drag your finger along the side of the middle button. You will see some markings on the button with arrows going round in a circle. You can use this to make your txt bigger\smaller.
Hope this helps
Thanks, smaller text size did it
Fortunately the diamond has the VGA display so it stays readable...

Using Registry To Increase Font Size In Threaded Text Messaging

This is probably a WM6.1 question more than a Diamond question, but because I'm using JUICY'S 2.2 ROM, I figured I'd ask here.
I am a person with a visual impairment - I can't see all that well. I've used Windows Mobile devices for a few years but would be very interested in making the text much large on many screens within Windows Mobile. I've been able to do this through the Registry, making the font size larger for menues, pop-ups and title bars. What I can't seem to figure out is how to make the text large in "Text Messaging." In Juicy's ROM, threaded text messaging is used (which I love) but I can't seem to find the registry key to edit the font size of the text that is received. The perfect font size for me in this case would be 14 point font.
Start / Settings / Screen / Text Size - this doesn't increase the font large enough for me.
Please help if you could with this issue. It would be much appreciated.
I was able to edit the font size of the text that I type into "Text Messaging" but still not the actual conversation text size. Please help! Thanks.
Try turning the touch sensitive scroll wheel to the right.

Thanks for the tip - that does make the text a "bit" larger which helps, so thank you. Still would be interested in a registry hack for it though...

A couple of Qs for my Diamond

Read the manual and can't find how to change the font colour on the today screen to another colour apart from white
Also when using the "keyboard" to type text messages, it has no predictive text like on my wizard - am I forced to use the QWERTY or compact QWERTY in order to get predicitive text?
many thanks to anyone who takes the time to read this and to anyone who can help

U can set word completion on the middle tab
