Has anyone developed a contacts app that you can actually read the phone numbers , I dont know about you guys , but the numbers are so small you cant barely read them unless you have so rediculously bright neon color , the font size is so small you cant see them , in the iphone or the blackberry or any android phone they are really big or your can adjust them, I havent seen anywhere that you adjust the size of the fonts for phone numbers in contacts?

Does anyone know how to change fonts and/or font sizes? This is an easy task in the Galaxy S but I cannot find the option anywhere. My old eyes are really struggling with the Sensation's font size. Might be a deal killer. Thanks for any help....
p.s. i 've found ways to make font size changes when viewing an email or using the internet but I am more concerned with the default Android font.....too damn small!
You could try the spare parts app. I can't guarantee it would work, but from what I remember, you could set the font to one of like 7 or 9 sizes from the app that was available in CM versions. Not sure if you could just install that .apk though?
I got to the office today and compared the Sensation's font with an Evo 4G. HTC's thinking makes no sense. For example, the EVO 4G's contact list is infinitely more readable despite the Sensation's larger screen!!! The font is so small that it is useless to even use pictures because they are not viewable for practical purposes.....just a blob of color.
The font is probably the same size but since the Sensation has a higher resolution it will look smaller. Sensation has a higher DPI than any WVGA phone
curious also how you can change the system/default font on the Sensation

I'd like to know this too, especially for the Sensation's e-mail client (Sense). I've tried using both HTML and Plain text formats but as soon as you send an e-mail - which you're copied on and then check the results you get crappy size 12 "Times New Roman" font.
It looks crap HTC, does anyone have a solution... ?
Please.

answered MANY times before, not until rooted can you use LCD density
Ok.
For me, I'm not too bothered about the font size or screen 'real-estate', I'm actually interested in having a solution that alows me to choose my font type in the e-mail client because frankly it looks crappy and unprofessional.

i actually prefer the font size for this fone, when i held it next to my HD2, the difference was MASSIVE, for the HD2 the density was set to 160, and on the sensation, it seems to be around 180 or 190, but with the higher res, the text looks crisp, especially in gmail and websites
has anyone figured out how to change font sizes yet?
Its really annoying when I go to People > Profile > call mobile and the size of the font is so small you can barely read it , the phone numbers are dinky unless you have a really bright color you wont be able to see the number and in daylight you can forget about reading that number, especially annoying when try to read a number for a friend ,you just cant see it! Now if the numbers / fonts could be changed to say the size of "call mobile" you could clearly see that even in daylight! Anyone think they can find this?
theres actually an app that does change the size , its not perfect but it changes it so you can actually see the number !

In WP7 Mango, is it possible to change the text size and icon size of notifications on the lock screen? Email, voicemail, texts, etc. show up as very small icons and small numbers below the date and time, too small for an old man like me.
I have a LG Quantum but I have seen other WP7 phones with small notifications so I am asking in general if anyone knows how to change it.
Even a response saying it can't be done [yet] would at least let me stop spending so much time searching for an answer for now...thx
Im pretty sure it cant be done

Hi old man,
I do not thonk it is impossible.
You need to search for "notification", "text" etc.. in the registry.

That was also my first thought. I can't find anything in the registry related to the font or text for notifications. Lots of keys about notification sounds, but that's it. I will continue searching because surely someone has done it. I took a sideroad and checked google images for mango lockscreens and - sadly - they all looked the same. I had hoped that someone had posted how they had modified their lockscreen, but no.
It is weird to me how MS uses these huge fonts that roll across the screen (e.g. people) but then makes notification text and icons in like a 2 pt font.
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

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?
Hi, I bought for my mom this phone, because it`s simple and easy to use. Screen is big enough, but I never thought that will be a problem with font size, especially in messages where font is tiny.
I just found old threads without solution and new about WP 8 where is menu Easy of access to change font size.
Please give me any advice what should I do, otherwise i will be force to change this phone.
P.S.
Almost in all old phone models is something to change font size where screen is small and one word is on whole screen.
Microsoft is the biggest IT company with windows mobile system history and just forget something like this? Ridiculous
This is even discrimination for people with disabilities like for people with poor but usable vision
Please, someone tell me that i`ve been wrong about this and i just can`t find where font size is changing and just I`m blind...
