Is there a way to change sms text size and display more messages per page on WM6.1 - HTC Excalibur

I want to shrink the size of the sms messages in a conversation just a bit, how would I go about doing this?
And also, when you open a conversation up, there is only about 15ish messages displayed, and you have to scroll all the way up to get to the 'Older' link, is there a way to make this go faster by also putting the link at the bottom, or is there a way to display more messages per page?
Thanks
PS-Im using Kavanas version of WM6.1 if thats needed

bump (char limit)

I would use the DPI configuration. Here is the link for that CLICK HERE

You need to be running WM2003SE to get the font size option, this is not available on non SE versions.

Any way to review all messages in Message Tab?

hi Guys
I was wondering whether there is a way to review all messages in the Message Tab?
It shows the last message that was received and i have to finger scroll up and down to see all the messages. Moreover, it doesn't show me all the sent messages too, so trying to figure out what the message was related to has led to some confusing conversation.
Is there a way to show all the messages in the tab ? Tried looking for it on this search forum, but I wasn't able to find any, possibly due to the wrong keywords.
Thanks !
I'm assuming you mean in the TouchFlo 3D interface... It took me a while to stumble on this one myself (but it made sense thinking about the interface with other tabs), but you can go through the messages by dragging your finger up and down on the message on-screen. Dragging bottom-to-top goes backwards chronologically, and top-to-bottom goes forward.
Hope that helps.
thanks for the post.
Yeah i know that is how to go through the messages.
I was hoping i could see all messages displayed on the tab, instead of one message.
Is there a way to do this ?
I don't think that's possible, but you can tab on the message to open up the TF3D interface to view the conversation thread with the recipient, or click on All Messages (left softkey menu) to open the Windows Mobile interface to see the list of messages with various recipients.
Thanks for the reply.
That kinda is inconvenient. i would like to see all the new messages from different people, and i had already missed a few messages without thinking of going through the All Messages tab.
Wished there was a way to see all incoming new messages from different people at least.
Seeing as how it's still WM 6.1, I figured I'd just reuse all the old programs from my Wing. So I reinstalled the 750v palm threaded SMS program (which overwrites the current messaging app) and all was good in the world. Well, only somewhat...
Unfortunately, MMS no longer works which is really weird because it worked perfectly fine on my Wing. Now when I try to send a MMS, I keep getting the "Out of Memory" error. Oddly enough, I never got that error on the Wing... and it had a fraction of the memory compared to this beast.
Hopefully when 6.5 comes out, this can be resolved (or a program that automatically marks all your SMS's as read). Until then, the only solution I have been able to find has already been mentioned... and that's to manually swipe through each message. Sucks if you're a big texter since you can easily rack up tens (if not hundreds) of messages in a short period of time.
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, i am a huge texter and i am loving the TP2. I could practically write an essay on it, and i won't feel like it is bogging me down.
Hence why i had "ignored" so many messages lol
With my Vodafone brnaded Touch Pro2 the left soft key is programmed to show "all messages" guess this is what you want but not sure how they managed it, I presume it is a reg edit. Maybe someone else knows which one.

This is an interesting thread, as it highlights the design vs. functionality features of TF3D. As the author of this thread, me too would like to be able to see more than one message on the SMS tab and also have the option to have the reply go to the standard WM6.1 windows instead of the TF3D reply.

You can already do this... kind of. When you go to the SMS tab, click left softkey for "All Messages." This will take you to the default SMS program you have on your phone (in my case, it will launch the Palm Threaded SMS). From here you can reply to any messages you have received. It takes a little longer to reply because you have to open the default SMS program then click the thread you want to reply to. Either way, it works.
Hope this helps!
Yeah I do heavy texting and emails but the touch flow 2d is really crappy. You can't even copy and paste!
I know I shouldn't say it but just simple think like the the safari web browser, sms messaging and big onscreen keypad is being missed on my iphone.

You can't copy and paste in the TP2 text program? Something I do every day on my Mogul? Geez, I really want this phone when it comes to Sprint, but that doesn't sound to good

Yeah it SMS on touchflo sucks bad. I am little weary with my purchase so far since I don't know I've run into a lot these little disappointments.
I guess I was spoiled by the iphone simple and clean interface. Even the dialpad seems kind of small and awkward to use. I am just hoping for some hardspl mods so I can see if this device can still woo me.
You CAN copy & paste from any SMS. Just open the message, or scroll down (if in threaded mode) to the item you want to copy, tap MENU, check SELECT TEXT, highlight the text, tap & hold then select copy.
It's 1 more step than before when I can simply highlight the text or number directly without having to tap menu. I guess the new TouchFlo 3D will have problems guessing if we want to highlight some text or scroll left/right when we slide our fingers across.

When you said threaded mode, i am assuming you meant the Windows Mobile SMS app right ?
This is to clarify that the TF3D doesn't have the select text->cut and paste functionality but the Windows Mobile app does. You need to click on the left soft key "All messages" to bring up the Windows Mobile SMS screen, select the conversation, and you can then use Putra's instructions for text selection, copy and paste functionality.
Yes, in TF3D (or manila 2d), you can only read 1 sms at a time and limited to reply, forward & delete.
If you want to copy & paste, you need to open the Win Mob SMS application as outlined by btong1978

Tilt 2 text threading

Hey all I had a question about text threading on the Tilt 2. i know i can change the font size when opening text messages under system settings. but i wanted to be able to change the font size for threading. Can it be adjusted without tweaks? If not what tweaks are out there? Thanks!

You can change your text size if you go to Settings > Screen > "Text Size" tab and adjust the slider. Alternatively, while you have your text message open, you can slide your finger along the zoom slider at the bottom of the LCD screen and it will adjust the size of the text font, real-time. Sliding in one direction makes the text smaller and sliding in the other makes it larger.
Yes i know i can do that. im talking about when i use my slider to go to the text message option. i want to be able to read the text before i tap on it to see it in the other format where i can make the changes. for example, on the tilt two all the text is white before you open up the area to see all messages. i just want to make the white text in the threaded area bigger. if i cant do that. how to i just make the font black or any other color, or bold instead.

I see. Your original message didn't clearly indicate that you were referring to the Manila Messages text font size. From what I can gather, you can't easily modify the Manila text size without changing everything else in the system's font settings. This has been discussed in this thread.
Thanks. I'll check it out

My SMS screen in M2D keeps screwing up.

I'm running the ATT stock rom minus bloat. When I recieve a text, half the time it doesn't scroll down to the most recent text. I have to scroll down manually. If I close the message app and then reopen it, it usually does scroll to the most recent text. Also, the area in which you type your message is chopped in half, so you can't see what you've typed. I had this same issue on my Tilt and now I'm having it on my Tilt 2. On my Tilt, I was even running a modified rom.
When I have that half line of text I open up the onscreen keyboard, close it and my text box is back to normal. Another suggestion was to make the text box 4 lines instead of 2, so even if you have hte issue you still have 2 1/2 lines. I have the same thing with the most recent text, but I live with it because its not too bothersome.
How do you make it four?
Not sure how that is done?
I was looking for a while and couldn't find the post I was refeering to, all I could find was something for the tp1:
Are there ways to enlarge the sms typing area?
you can use the freeware "TOTAL COMMANDER" and edit the file thread_sms.html. You can do a search to easily find it...windows directory.
look for this part:
<inbox:content id="COMPOSESUBECT" width="98%" height=35 spell...
and play around with the number in height (in this case 35). change to 70 and get 3 lines for text replies. Just change the numbers and see what works for you.
*you need to soft reset after editing the file.

It should be in the clear type setting not sure exactly where it is tho
You can change the text size within your SMS messages by sliding the zoom bar under the screen. Just slide it to the right and all texdt will increase in size.
