This has been answered before, I know because it helped me out no end.
1. Add the contact to the favourites tab in TF3D
2. Click the Menu softkey (right softkey) and choose the Change Picture option
3. Simply select the same picture again.
It will now be crystal clear (provided you are using clear pictures to start with)

Thanks mate! It works now.

I just re-imported the favorites pictures through the TF3D interface, and all of the pictures were rescaled to 256 pixels high.
The pictures still have 24 bit color depth.

the best if you prepare pictures 256x256 pixels, 28 pixels/inch resolution, and save them as 24bit RGB .png files. Otherwise it uses internal mechanism to re-scale them, which affects picture quality.

The images that end up on a contact in Outlook using this method thru TF3D are much better quality/resolution than you can attach by using Outlook directly.
Is there a way to attach high quality images like this by using Outlook or some other tool on a PC rather than the phone? i.e. how could I get high quality images like this on my contacts if I didn't have this phone?

Thanks for the answer. Works great!

Favorite People's Pictures

Does anyone know how i can make the favorite people pictures to look better in the little frames. The pics look good before i assign then to people, then they get all blurry. i know its something to do with the pixels, but does anyone know what software can make these photos look like good digital photos.

There are two ways to add / change the picture. One is in the contacts program (under all persons), where Windows mobile takes over and resizes your 256x256 picture to an unsharp 200x200. The other one is to use the Menu option under the Contacts tab and then "change picture". In this case the size will remain 256x256 resulting in the sharper pictures.

can you explain the steps to get the pictures sharp than blury.. step by step please.

To get higher quality pics on your TF3D favorite's tab:
1) Go to the "People" Tab of TF3D
2) Select a contact
3) Click Menu (right soft key)
3) Select "change picture" or "add picture"
4) Select the contact pic that you would like to use.
5) You now have a non blurry display pic.
The key is to add the pictures through TF3D and not through Pocket Outlook.

Here's a detailed explanation:

appreciate the info, how ever I might already have pre-existing pictures sync'd with my outlook. so if I add the contact it will be blurry... if I do it the way you recommend then I would have to go through 200 contacts and re-create their photos.
any better ideas or am I stuck with it being blurry?

never mind, i am reading about the 480 x 640 resolution.. sounds like a lot of un-necessary work just to have clairity.

You'll have to do them individually as far as i know, or leave them blurry. I have been doing a few at a time. If it's any consolation I've sync'd my contacts several times using my mail2web server, and the higher res pics have remained. I just used TF3D people tab, i didn't resize anything. Added a few people and changed the pics each time i've flashed. Didn't take me too long to get through my 325 contacts at the rate i flash

Thanks for the thread. . I only have a few, but they now look loads nicer.
Can I delete the images now or do they have to remain? I don't want a folder full of TF3D images if I don't have to.
I suppose I could . . DO it and report back.
Okay they seem to remain. . dunno if it'll survive a reboot, but I don't wanna screw with it right now.

i wish somebody could develop an app for this, that could be ran on the computer

If you don't use TF3D, another way to do it is to use the HTC Album. I put all pictures of my friends in a folder and then just went through each image one by one using the 'save to contact' from the menu. It's relatively quick and easy to do.
Side note: One thing I noticed is when I had an image which was exactly 640x480 in size, it didn't sync to Outlook via ActiveSync. It came up with an error message that "The following contacts failed to synchronize from the device". After some fiddling around, it appears that it didn't like the image being 640x480. I reduced the dimensions slightly (e.g. 600x...) and then it worked perfectly. Might come in handy if you get this error...

I am new to the HTC Fuze, about weeks. I have resized the pix to 256 x 256, 640 x 480, 480 x 640 and after the contacts resets the picture is poor quality again. How in gods name do you stabilize this issue. I love the phone but this is pissing me off.
I am no stranger to resizing. I resize in Photoshop...
Thanks in advance...

Diamond2 - Change default text size on SMS messages

hallow all
i have an htc diamond 2 , only problem is on sms massages , text is too small and difficult to read, any ideas on how to make text letters on sms bigger???
thanks

Hi!
1) Slide touchflo to the settings tab (the last one)
2) Press the left soft button that should say something like all settings (or maybe "more", I don't have a WWE ROM so I really don't know what the button label is). This will bring up the regular windows mobile settings dialog.
3) Select the screen or display icon
4) In the screen dialog select the last tab at the bottom, I should say something like text size
5) Slide the text size slider to desired value
6) You may have to soft reset the device for the changes to be effective
Regards,
PK

Edited the thread title for a little more clarity.
Also, have you tried sliding your finger on the zoom bar? I know the original Diamond supports zooming SMS text with the capacitive area.

Hi!
I forgot about that simple solution, at least it works in my diamond2
Regards,
PK

thank you very much for your advice, i have try all but unfortunately nothinkg works, on received sms text still too small, any ideas ? or any program that might fix this?
Thanks

Hi!
Could you please provide some more information regarding how you actually reads your messages. There are at least 3 different places to read a SMS
1) The touchflo SMS tab
2) The touchflo contact SMS tab
3) The regular windows mobile messages application
The suggested solutions mentioned so far only changes the font size in the regular windows mobile messages application (alternative 3). I think the font size in the touchflo interface is hard coded by HTC, and is not changeable without decompiling the touchflo script files and changes the values. This is not something you wants to do, I guess there are only a couple of people in this entire forum capable of performing that task.

PK

ok , nice question , now we getting somewhere , on regular windows sms i can read the text size which i have selected on my system - screen -text size, but needs for someone to play around with a couple of buttons to be able to see that text, also is not that user friendly , (for me at least).
now on the other two cases touchflo sms tabs and touchflo contact sms the text is very small. the last two cases i find it friendly and easy to use and navigate around your sms history with that person.
Thanks a lot.

Regarding SMS editing
DO you know how to solve the problem of the textbox size (to small, you can see only one or 2 lines) when editing an sms from the sms list view ? (e.g. when you want to reply on the same windows where you read the received sms).
Thanks

On WM6.1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\RichEditHostFontFace
That's only the text box that you type in, not the window that displays the messages. If anyone know the messages one, let me know

In settings there is a setting where you change the text size. Make that bigger and SMS will be bigger..

HTC Touch Pro SMS & EMail Font Size Issue - Help Required

Team,
I am looking for some real help here.
I have a (Vodafone) HTC Touch Pro and have been using this for the last 6 months. I have a condition where my sight is at a fixed focal length. Reading SMS and EMails on this phone is very difficult for me and, at times, impossible. I use glasses but do not carry them with me at all times.
Does anyone know of a way that I can increase the size of the text on SMSs, emails and other areas of the phone? Here is what I have done over the last few months with no luck:
System Text - Basic
I have set the system font size to the biggest available through:
Settings -> System -> Screen -> Text Size -> Largest
I have also ensured that the Sensor Wheel is working when viewing texts by moving this clockwise - the text is at its largest.
This is still too small for me. :-(
Software
I tried using the AdvancedConfigurationTool from http://www.touchxperience.com/
Still no luck there.
I also changed the theme in the hope that I would be able to increase or change the text size - nope.
Finally I used a bit of software that allows the system fonts to be changed, even adding new fonts to the interface (sorry, can't find link). While this updated all text sizes the SMS text remained the same size.
Does anyone think this is the Vodafone branding preventing me from changing the font size? I would not like to invalidate the warranty at this point.
I like the phone but I am really finding it difficult to use as normal. Does anyone have any ideas?
Cheers,
Ricemonk

Thought an upload of what the SMS text is like would help:
I know this may look perfectly normal to almost all users however when on the HTC Touch Pro screen this is much smaller and difficult for me to read.

Open up Messaging and select a Mail Account. Then click on an email to view. From there, go to Menu -> View -> Text Size and select whatever size you want.
This action also effects all other txt in Both Mails & SMS.

Thanks for your reply treo927 however this was already set to highest as I changed the system text to the maximum.
It looks like I am destined to move away from the Touch Pro after only 6 months and on to a Blackberry.

ricemonk,
I recently had the opposite problem to you ... the fonts were too large, they were massive in SMS and email. I tried everything to reduce them in the mail settings.
I recall that I managed to fix it with a font setting from IE ... weird I know, but they must be connected. I cant now find exactly what setting I altered, but it was something in internet explorer.

adamcullen,
Thanks for your reply - I will take a look and fiddle with the settings and let you know how it goes.
Cheers,
Ricemonk

Ricemonk, try SMS Tweaker http://handheld.softpedia.com/progDownload/SMS-Tweaker-Download-62457.html
It's a free program that lets you set the text message font size in normal mode (not threaded mode) up to 16 points. It looks pretty big to me. I hope it works for you.

Thank you. This has helped me increase my font size. I appreciate it a lot.

Small MMS image

Hi,
I have EnergyRom Genesis
Sept 5, 2009 WWE
I love it but I have a nasty problem w/ MMS images.
Every time i add an image to an MMS message (whether by adding or taking a new photo), the image size (pixels) is reduced and it is so small as to be appreciated by the recipient.
I looked around in the tweaks and settings and can't find any thing related to it.
I hope someone can help me out on this as I can't use the MMS feature at all.
TIA!!

Check the following setting and let us know what it says
Within the MMS program click on the RIGHT menu button, then MMS OPTIONS, then scroll down to PHOTO RESOLUTION. If this is set to QVGA or QQVGA, then your pics will be tiny.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I can't seem to find that option. Here is what I have:
I go to "Messaging"
Menu
Options
I chose "SMS/MMS" from "Tap an account to change settings"
The option there is "Use unicode when necessary"
I can't find "Photo Resolution" anywhere..
I must be missing something...
Thanks

You're not supposed to go to options
In the WM Messaging app, click on MENU, scroll all the way up and you should see MMS OPTIONS,

Hi,,
Thanks and stupid me.. I never realized you could scroll down the menu choices as there was no scroll bar!
Thanks!!!

No problem, there is a little tiny menu bar on the menus that have something below. Its hard to see but if you look closely you will see a dark little bar.

Moved as not ROM Development..

just search for a tiny mms cab fix around here
