Why are some data entry fields too small?

Hey all,
I've searched around for a solution to this but it's a difficult problem to search for!
On some software that I've installed on my htc touch pro the data entry fields (for example a box to enter the data in pocket informant) are too small so the whole date doesn't get displayed. Is there a way of fixing this? I have gone into screen in the system options field and set the font size to smallest but it hasn't made a difference.
Anyone else experience this? Really annoying as very small entry fields you can't see the text at all (for example entering a height in mysporttraining software).

--EDIT--
Ok I figured out what the problem was. Couple of days ago I used advanced config to edit the size of vertical scroll bars to make them nice and wide. Reason being to help one finger scrolling as the default is too small. Anyway it appears to also change the width of number incremental arrows in text boxes! So they had become huge covering up the text....doh! Reset the size back to default and the textboxes now appear correctly.

K-9 mail privacy setting?

I use the K-9 email app for some of my email accounts. I have it working the way I want save only one problem. Right now when I get a mail it flashes the subject line or the first line of the email across my notification bar at the top of my screen. This is especially troubling when I give my phone to any colleagues when they want to look up/browse something and I've a mail coming in.
Go SMS app doesn't have this problem. I can set each a privacy mode to just display text coming in, but not the actual message in text. Is there a similar "privacy" setting for K-9 that I'm missing?

[Q] Wifi calling app FC when changing LCD Density

Can someone else who has their lcd density changed see if they can open the wifi calling app from the app drawer? When I have mine set to anything lower than the default 240 the wifi calling app force closes when I try and open it. If I set it back to 240 it opens fine. I tried this on my "as shipped" rooted rom, and a fresh install of the deodexed prerooted rom. Both work at 240 then crash when I set it lower.
The funny thing is that when i go in a area with no signal while on wifi, the wifi calling app icon comes up on the notification bar and it seems to work, i can make and receive calls and my sms's come through.
Can anyone else try this and see if they get the same results with the app force closing?

I haven't tried it, but have you rebooted after getting the forceclose? my guess is a reboot will fix.

Rebooting doesn't help. The app won't open unless the density is set to the default 240
Sent from my myTouch_4G_Slide using XDA App

Confirmed here. It stays open in the bar, but won't open when clicked on. Does it still function or does it break wifi calling?

It still routes everything over wifi if the icon is in the notification bar.

I can also confirm that calls and sms go through wifi as long as the icon is present.
On a different note, does anyone notice that when changing the density below 240, some text doesn't get resized properly? An example would be menu text or status text in gchat. The text seems to be vertically cut off.

AT&T Marshmallow Update

So.. they took our ability to change font size within the messages app with the volume key away, and give no way to change both. I.e, I liked having my conversation size Medium and the text that shows on the main page of messages Medium too. Now if you change within the messages app, it will make the conversation size smaller than the other text. Has anyone found a way to fix this? I'm non-rooted.

Question Device restarts in Tablet mode

For some reason whenever I reboot my device it loads in tablet mode which is really annoying. My widgets all get removed and the display size is very small, along with other home screen changes. Once I change the display size setting the phone recognizes it is not a tablet and goes into phone mode. Does anyone know why this could happen? Phone is rooted with safetynet fix. Wondering if it might be safety net fix since it changes the build.prop settings. However I would have expected others to experience the same issue.

go into dev options and look for a value called smallest width. This stock is set to 411 dp. If yours shows that value, set the display size to the smallest possible, then go back into dev ops and change smallest width to 411 dp again, then go back to screen and font size and set those to largest. mess round with those till ya find what you want.
Cheers Mate!

Thanks for the reply. Mine is set to 485 because I set the display settings to smallest. When I change to 411 it just changes the display setting to default option. When I change back to smallest display option it changes the smallest width back to 485. Not sure how this changes the tablet mode setting when I restart phone.
