Haven't been on this good ol' forum in a while.
Things have changed so much, but anyways....
I just got my dad a HTC Kaiser with customRUU.
He's like everything about it except one thing:
The size of the font. He can barely see anything. The only thing he would really like to see is the contacts (yeah, i know, it's pointless to have this phone and all you do is just use it for calls)
so basically, i was just wondering:
Does anyone know how to make the font (especially for contacts) BIGGER?. please let me know?
i do know that there are some programs like sunnycontacts but it's a little complicated for him. all he wants is just bigger font and he's good.
thanks for checking out my thread.
happy new years.

Welcome back! Just go into Settings, system and screen, the last tab will be text size! Adjust that and he should be happy! Happy new year to you as well!
I recently upgraded to Froyo. So far everything has been great. I have come across a small issue though and was wondering if I'm just over looking the fix. On 2.1 when I composed a new text message the contacts would only display mobile numbers. Now with 2.2 I see all their available numbers. If I'm not paying close attention I'll end up sending a text to someone's home phone and never get a response. Anyone know of a fix to this? Hopefully its just something small I'm overlooking.
Bump. Still have hope.
That's funny cause this was an enormous complainmt by so many people on 2.1. Google fixed it it seems finally. Guess you can't please everyone!

People were complaining that you couldn't compose texts to home phones? I just don't have any use for texting anything other than another mobile.
i much preferred only having mobile numbers come up, seems far more practical but i may be overlooking a use for sending texts to office, home and other land lines... and if the majority prefers it this way then i certainly cant argue with that. Plus ill get used to it it just takes a little longer for each text so not a huge deal, definitely only a "minor annoyance", an annoyance nonetheless

Pretty much sums up my thoughts on the situation. I had just hoped there was a setting or something I was overlooking. Thanks for the replies.
I guess this is good news for people that don't have very organized contacts (like me) where I have a mobile number listed as work/home/etc. I'm pretty sure this has always been an option in handcent though, which in my opinion is far superior to the built in app.
Has anyone had any luck with this? When I try it, it doesn't input any text. I've chosen the correct input method, set the keyboard, etc. No luck. How about you guys?
Too bad they want money for it.
It took me like 5 while minutes to figure it out. You will get it, just read the instructions a few times

They should've released a beta or something and then a couple months later start charging for it. This way people will get used to using the board and want to buy it. Like what SwiftKey did. I don't think the curiosity factor, alone, is enough for people to buy it. Especially since you can uninstall it in 24 hours to get a full refund.
It seems like a joke app to me. Hey lets make some ridiculous new way to enter text. People like swype, so they'll probably like anything weird and different.... but on the off chance no one likes it - lets make a pay only version - so people pay for it before they realize it actually sucks.
maybe that's just me being cynical - but swype is genuinely novel. I fail to see how this is better then the stock keyboard.

Obviously, but keep that to yourself. No one needs the trouble here from spreading that around.
So I tried 8pen. I'm actually typing this using it. I don't see it ever being as fast as swype but I can definitely see its usefullness with one hand typing and not being able to look at the screen. But the amount of time you'd have to spend memorizing all the patterns to the point you don't have to look at what you're doing would be insane.
I like it. All you have to do is memorize where the letters are, same as a normal keyboard. It seems plenty fast to me. There are a few glitches in the auto complete and some other things but overall it is a good alternative to a tiny keyboard if that is what you need or are looking for.
Any idea why I can't find this in the market? When I search there are no results. I can't find Swype in the market either.
I never can find Swype in the market either but 8pen comes up fine, maybe wait a day and look again.
I do kind of like the visible pop up it has now, but its still nowhere near as fast as my stock Sense keyboard. Then again, I can almost totally type one-handed and blind, so there you go. Now that its free, I say go get it and play with it,can't hurt.

swype is not generally available, so it's not in the market for any phone.
its still in beta (seems perpetually), and only comes pre-installed on some phones.
I'm using 8pen now and I really like it. I have these massive dumb hands and I could never get the hang of typing with those tiny keys. It works a dream for me. Even if it is a "novelty."

I just have a couple questions. I came across the look-a-like iPhone called F8, don't really know to much about it but I'm wondering if anybody else might. If anyone has any insight on the phone itself or whether or not if it would be possible to install android (any build) would be appreciated. The most I know is that even tho that it looks like an iPhone, it can not access the app store or iTunes. afraid that's all i know. Youtube isn't that helpful either. Thanks
There is an Iphone look-alike that runs android 2.3. Google it or youtube it.
here is one of the phones that i found.

It seems like alot of One users out there are not that keen on blinkeed, and would prefer to disable it, and for some if given the choice would rather have it removed it altogether. I have to say i like the look of blinkfeed, even though i do not own the One at present.
Is there anyone who actually likes blinkfeed, and finds it to be a useful feature??
Reason i have started this thread that there seems to be quite alot of negativity surrounding blinkfeed.
Would be very interested to hear what you guys think.
I plan on having blinkfeed as my central home screen, with regular android widget screens to the left or right.
When I need some quick info, I can either look @ the lock screen or blinkfeed, when I want to check my calendar or emails, or w.e. quickly I can just scroll left or right.
So - ye I am excited to try it out. If I end up being disappointed, then so be it. But I don't think I will be.
I like it, it's just a news aggregator for content your interested in.
Why would you not like it? It's brought up loads of articles I would of otherwise not of seen, I wish you could integrate things like BBC News etc for the UK but for the moment it's very good.
I don't get why loads of people are moaning, if you don't like it set a different screen as your 'home' but I happen to think it's a very useful function and find myself checking it quite a lot throughout the day to see 'whats new'.

I dont mind it but it doesn't update facebook or twitter properly. The apps will give me status that people have posted that the blinkfeed doesnt till later on. Thats annoying.
I use friendstream widget a lot more than i have the energy to check Facebook or Twitter apps so i expect to like blinkfeed
i just hope it includes (@connect) notifications for twitter

You will have to scroll right, because the Blinkfeed screen can't be moved. It is the first screen and that's it, any other screens you have come after it.
Definitely needs more feeds from BBC News / Sport etc. And you'd think it could tell the difference between football (soccer) and football (American)...

i always had both a 4x4 friend stream widget and a 4x4 reader widget on my phone, so im really looking forward to using blinkfeed.
it definitely needs more options from what I've heard though, cant believe bbc isnt in it!
I think that as soon as more feeds and options become available to view, it will be more popular. At the moment though its just a drain on the battery imo xD
Have to say I love blink feed so much that I have hardly used Flipboard since Friday.....it's a brilliant feature and as long as you set it up properly can be invaluable like today, didn't know Gears of War reviews were out till I saw that in the feed......normally I would have to get that info from a deeper source/app......I find it a brilliant and genuine innovative tool......
AW: Who actually likes blinkfeed?
I like it

Apple iOS reserves a whole home page just for a search bar and I see no one complaining or even talking about it but when HTC does something better with the same home page people start moaning about it. You don't have to use it and if you even don't want to see it, it's Android, just install different launcher. OMG people are just so weird.
I like it a lot. In fact it's one of the features I like the most.
I don't get why there's so much dislike on it, I think it looks great. I use Reader a lot (probably the most) and would love a fancy, good-looking way to get my feeds.
I agree though that the user should have the option to disable it. Don't like when things are forced upon.
Yeah I'm in the same boat as almost everybody else on this thread. I like BlinkFeed and I've stopped using other similar services (i.e. Flipboard, Pulse, ...) almost completely.
People don't like change I guess. It's amazing how they form an opinion before even spending 2 seconds with the product. If it were up to consumers, we'd still be using rotary phones...
I'm looking forward to it. I just hope it's customizable enough and has enough sources I'm interested in. They say they'll be opening it up to a lot more content so that sounds like I won't be disappointed.
I dont even use it lol.
I like it, i use it as my main screen.
I don't dislike it, but i don't really use it, i would like to get used to it, but i would like it as the middle screen of my homescreens, so until that is changed/fixed i will continue with Nova Launcher for now.
I just set the second 'home' screen to become my default home screen so whenever I start to use it more all I have to do is sweep to the left.
