Does anyone have a problem where the text in the sms windows get really small? It just seems to happen out of no where and randomly.

It's not an issue I don't think. It's just like pinch to zoom so you can change font size

This happens to me actually. I'll go into the texting app and see that the text has turned small.

Don't agree, sorry. You can pinch to zoom to change the font size of the text bubbles, yes. But after the text has become small, if I use the pinch to zoom function to make everything bigger to the original normal size, after sending a few texts, the text will suddenly become super fat. Then I have to re-pinch/zoom back the big font down to a smaller size.
So... something is not right somewhere.
Mhm, it's a glitch, it was talked about before with no solution..
I had that issue but I just used titanium backup to restore messaging app plus data. That is if you have it backed up. If not go grab a messaging apk and that should fix your issue (hopefully more than temporarily)

Early apologies if this is in the wrong section but i couldnt find anything when i tried searching this topic.
Anyway, my old htc phones (windows mobile), the screen would turn on and i would get a preview of a text i just received.
on the inspire, the screen remains off even though the notification noises and vibrations play.
is there any way to make the screen turn on as well ?
it drives me nutts that i cant just glance at my phone!! i have to turn it on then do the unlocking, etc.
any help is much appreciated!
I don't know about the stock HTC SMS app but there's an option for this in GoSMS. I highly recommended it.
Or you can try sms popup.

+1 - Great app!
Handcent has screen wake option. And it by far is better than stock messaging app anyway, a billion options to use.

Can't get into handset, it just looks too ugly - even with the skins.
They need to update handcrnt for higher resolution/larger displays.

What he said!
Handcent, second to none for SMS!
thanks a lot guys!
i will definitely try out the apps you've mentioned.
umm?
im loving go sms pro. very clean interface.
however, i accidentally deleted some text messages.
and i dont see a deleted items folder.
is there any way to recover deleted texts??
another vote for handcent here..
Go SMS Pro seems pretty promising thus far. I hated Handcent because of the overall 'old' feel and sluggish performance. Go SMS was a little laggy but I bumped the performance down to the "middle" level and it seems to work quite well now.

If you didn't use the backup that Go SMS offers I don't think you can get them back. Maybe they're hidden somewhere but I wouldn't know how to go about finding them.
If you don't want to change messaging apps, you might want to look at SMSawake or SMS Screen WakeUp.
I'm using Chomp SMS. Let's you preview text and lot's of other options.
Hi.
I'm wondering how to increase the font size in the phone.. the screen size way to big... But the default font size is to small even. Compare to my friend wildfire...
Thz.

Amen! Font size is a joke. You need a magnifying glass to read a text you are sending. I'm looking for options too before I return.
There should be options in all the apps (Gmail, Email, Browser, Messages, etc) to make the font bigger. Most all apps have this option.
Agree the font is minimalistic for this vibrant large screen...we need a global setting! At it some apps can be enlarged...
Download spare parts change font size near the bottom!

Can you please tell me where you download 'spare parts' from the bottom of where?
Spare Parts is found on the marketplace. It is free. There are two versions, doesn't matter which you get.
Also, in the text messaging app, you can pinch to zoom to get smaller or larger text. Not sure if stock can do this as I run Insert Coin.

The pinch to zoom in text is a 3.5 feature, so regardless of Rom, as long as its 3.5 based

i GOT IT~! its working in ARHD 3.6.8 ROM.. Nice..
You can also increase the lcd density in the build.prop This will make everything a bigger. I'm currently using 255 instead of 240.
Ive searched around for a while and havent been able to find anything but is there anyway to stop the browser from automatically resizing the text whenever you zoom in. I find it kinda annoying and i cant find anything in settings. Thnx.

I'm confused. You don't want the text to ZOOM when you ZOOM? ZOOMING, by definition, gives you a close up, which makes things appear bigger.

I am with homeslice on this one. In the browser settings you can select default text size. But when you zoom in and out the text will always change proportionately with the zoom. I personally have never used a browser on a phone or a computer that was any different.
Have you guys had an issue with the font size when texting?
Whenever I set my font size to small, I run into the issue where the text randomly reverts back to the default medium font size. This is becoming very frustrating and I cannot find an alternative way, outside of always going to the menu changing the font size for the particular conversation and repeating whenever the issue arises again.
Pinch and zoom the text. Not sure how to set a permanent size.

I viewed the thread of the custom rom and found some people having the same issue as me but no one posted a solution.
Basically, the problem is that whenever I change the font size in the SMS app and go to Launcher or any other app, I return to see that the font size is enlarged. Frequently, it's on extra large even though I changed it to small before quitting the app. Does anyone experience the same bug?
I don't see it happening...
But I would suggest backing up the SMS messages, and clearing the SMS app data. If that works, restore the msgs. Do not back up with TB, you only need the msgs not the entire app data.
