Samsung Email Widget Text Size - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello Forum Folks,
Just recieved my Note 5.
The text in the email widget is too small for me to read. The text size on my Note 2 and S5 was fine, but it's considerably smaller on the Note 5 and as I'm not as young as I once was, I'm struggling to read it.
I have increased the text size for the phone, but it hasn't changed the email widget text.
I am referring to the text size in the widget that can be placed on the home screen, not the text size in the Samsung email app itself. Also, I am not referring to the gmail app or widget as I am using the Samsung email app and widget for my Exchange Server email account.
Thanks and Cheers!

I have not tried it as I do not use the email widget but you might have luck by changing the grid size to 4 X 4.
Good luck.

Thanks Code,
Tried that but it didn't change the font size.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Cheers

Launcher Pro ??? Gmail

Has anyone got the stock email app to work with Launcher Pro, meaning I can check my emails, and I can have it notify me of an email in the notification bar, but I cannot get it to post the number of unread email in green like it use to do on the envelope. Now I know some of you will say download the unread Gmail app, but when you do that and open the emails it does not open it in the stock app, which is what I want as it shows the full email body and replies like the web base one, I have also put the red Gmail icon in the dock station and set the settings to notify on the dock station and works fine, but I want the stock email to do that either on the home screen or the dock, any suggestions anyone
Under Preferences / Dock Settings there is an option to display Unread Gmail Count
I is checked marked but does not work with the native app

[Q] How do I change my calendar colour under the Android Agenda Widget?

Hello,
I have installed the Agenda Calendar Widget and have appended my Google calendar to the widget. I did some research and one of the suggestions was to login to Gmail and change the colour of my calendar there which I did. However, it does not sync up with the Agenda Calendar.
I use a black background and the colour that my widget uses for my gmail calendar is a dark navy blue which is hard to read. Is there a workaround for this issue or should I direct my query to the developer?
Thanks in advance.
Google: try a different color on google.com; preferably a primary color.
Exchange: remove and recreate the account until the right color shows (!), or use Improved Email (market)

Thanks! That worked. I guess it takes sometime to sync the calendar colour.

[Q] Changing font size on LG Messaging app?

The text on the default messaging app is pretty big, so wondering is there any way of reducing the font size without rooting? thanks in advance
I have been looking for that option as well, but with no luck. I guess the only way to get smaller fonts is to push the Android Messaging apk to the phone to replace the LG Messaging app.
Install GO sms pro instead and you will be able to customize anything and everything

[Q] View notes from your homescreen

Hi everyone,
Since a while I been looking for the perfect note widget, that allows you to display a note at full size on your homescreen. And another thing I had on my mind was a function that would allow you to write on your homescreen, with some kind of lock function. I use the S Memo pretty often as reminder, but when I use the biggest widget it still displays pretty small. When I resize the widget, it gets stretched out which isnt really making good use of the big screen.
I have tried a couple of Note widgets: S Memo, FreeNote and Evernote. So far I haven't seen an app that does either of the two thigns I'm looking for:
Display a note fullscreen (or at least big) on your homescreen, instead of the normal small widgets.
Have the posibility to write on your home screen (fullscreen) and lock it afterwards. Like the lock function on an old discman.
Does anyone know if this is possible? If not, how do you guys and girls remind yourself with notes?

If you put the SNote widget on a (tall) 2 x 3 arrangement then you'll see the note just right. At least that's how it works on Nova launcher. Or simply have it fill the screen.

Thanks for your post, still 3 x 2 sounds pretty small. As you said you can make it fill up your screen by stretching it out, but thats really limiting the space to draw or write. Or is there another way to increase the widget without stretching it out?
My notes are not stretching no matter what widget size I use, they scale proportionally.

[Q] Contacts widget size.

Hi all, hope you can help.
I have finally found the Contacts widget on this phone and when I place it on one of the home screens it is very large, only enabling four contacts per screen. How do you make these smaller. Before you place the Contact it also shows a small pic of what screen size it will take but cannot figure how to adjust it.

I cannot believe that that is the standard size of the contacts using the widget, on the Nexus I was able to get 16 per page. There must be a re-size option some where that I cannot see ????
