Quickest way to sms

Is there some way to have a shortcut for a new sms. I find it tedious to have to go to messaging, sms/mms, menu, new, sms! Used to be much faster before they lumped everything together.

go to the contact and tabhold and pick sms or text message or whatever they call it
and you got a new sms with the contact as add
for your sms'ing pleasure

Try program KeySwop: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-keyswop-v0-2-1.html

Install HTC Action Screen. It provides you with a screen with all "New ..." items (new sms, new mms, new contact, ... )

How do I get that? I've got the orbit 2 so guessing this comes only with the cruise?

I use a shortcut with the following target...
"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to ""-body""
As a better post I'd upload it... but I can't find the upload button.

Thanks, already installed the htc action screen, works perfectly

Hello,
By the way i map the right softkey (contacts) from the HTC today in the bottom Right of the screen to the Action Screen by:
using a reg editor, create a key called "113" (if not there already) under:
\HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113
with the following values type REG_SZ
Default = Action Screen
Open = \windows\HTCActionScreen.exe
No soft reset is need, once you close your reg. editor it will show up.
quite handy i think....
cheers

for the bubble
go to sounds notification settings
go to receive sms then you can choose what things happen from there including turning off on screen notification
as far as the button im not sure but i hope so since thats one thing il really miss from the 8525 the message button is real nice
is pocketcm all that useful when 6.1 has the threaded sms and it has touchflo?

Thanks for so fast answer. Yes this solution work fine I was all day looking throw registry to find it, and it was so simple ...
About PocketCM it is I think old habbit, but if there is no know solution to this then maybe I should think to habituate to thouchflo ...
Thanks

noo problem
with the threaded on there is your inbox setup like pocketcm with just one message per recipient or is it in order of message recieved and only threaded when you open it?

In threaded there is one message per person like in PocketCM.

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.

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..

[Q] How to enlarge Notes fields in People/Address book.

Hello,
How do you make the Notes fields bigger in HTC Sensation People app? It only shows 1.5 lines. It is very inconvenient to scroll if I have 10 lines of text in the Notes field. TQ
HTC's people in Android 2.1 didn't have this problem.
Update: I found CONTACT EDITOR (by dmfs) in the Android Market. Its UI not that nice but I'll live with it after getting used to it. NOTES field is big enough and it can do landscape typing. I am happy now.

How to zoom/magnify contact phone numbers

Hello
Since sensation has high resolutions screen contact number fonts in contact list is very small. It is very difficult to read after 40 years of age
This is one of the basic function of this device. It is very difficult to see without to magnifier. Pinch to zoom works elsewhere but not here.
Could you tell me a way to see text in contacs program without carrying magnifier in my pocket
Thanks

Have you tried installing a different font?

Maybe you need to change you glassess. My common sense saying you are wearing glasses
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App

It looks like htc has forgatten to announce that People over 40 needs to buy glasses together with sensation even if they dont need normally
System font shange affects many things. It changes design completely I think
That is why I am looking for another solution

HTC keeps forgetting that not everyone has perfect eyesight, I have trouble reading many HTC applications and widgets. Most annoying to me was/is* the Calendar app: Appointment details usually span less than 35% of the screen, and you can't zoom in. Contacts are also an issue, but I usually tap phone and start typing the name on the numeric keypad, I keep typing until one name is left, which I then tap to call / send message / ..
I am happy with the SMS Application and Mail application though - pinch-to-zoom works on both now (Previously it would only work on Mail I believe).
*: I use Simple Calendar Widget by Alex Gavrishev, which is fully customizable.

you forgot incoming calls as well ...
font is just wayyyyyy too small !!! HTC expects all of my contacts to have PICTURES

Yes, You absoultely right
For example, When driving, or doing something else It is impossible to see phone numbers during incoming calls
This is a phone and We should see contact names and phone number easily and clearly. This is highest priority I think

Has anyone tried editing the build.prop to change the lcd density to a higher number, I have decreased it to make everything look smaller, it only rewins the lockscreen when I do that, I haven't tired making everything bigger by increasing the number.. anyone want to be a guinea pig?
