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.

Hi,
Does anyone know how to increase the Font size for incoming calls from numbers that are not stored in your contacts for the JAM?
I know that if you have a number stored in my contacts, you can increase int font size/colour/add pic etc..... but when the number is not stored in the contacts, the number is displayed in the normal small font.
So How do you increase the font size for incoming calls that are not in your contacts? Whether it be 'UNKNOWN", "PRIVATE" or a new number???
Your help will be much appreciated.
Hi, try : CallerID/Tools/Options/CallerID Format/Font Size.

Hi, yes that works, but for only numbers that are already stored in contacts!
So my question still stands.... "How to increase the font size for ALL incoming calls (not just for ones already stored in contacts)???
I changed font size in Caller ID (Photo Contacts) in described dialog, but the size of name and number in incoming call bubble is still the same :-( Did I understand this thread well?
Thank for your advices...
I FOUND THE SOLUTION!!!!
follow these instructions and ALL incoming calls will be displayed in Large Font. (or whatever font size/colour you desire)
1) Start> Programes> Photo Contacts
wait a few seconds for all your contacts to load up.
2) Tools> Set Default Photos. THis will bring up new screen with the 3 default caller ID pics. (Unknown, Not-Found and Default) You have to select each one, one at a time and tap on 'Assign'
This will bring you new screen where you can select a pic. (i just used an animated .gif file of a ringing phone)
3) Once you do this, make sure you tick the box "use my font/color settings for caller ID" Then go into the Options and here you can set the Font size for all incomming calls.
There is also an option to preview your settings so making changes are easy.
I have the Font set at 25, Name of caller in Blue, Number in Red. I found this looks and fits best.
4) Repeat step 2 for the other two default and set as you please and you will have the details of all you incomming calls be displayed in your chosen font/colour.
Hope this helps.

Thanks! Ticking this "magic hidden" box solve the problem.
Having a slight problem here with my new captivate (came from an iPhone 4 and happy btw )
When someone sends me a text, and I reply... sometimes my 'bubble' will go above theirs and during a fast texting conversation I can send many texts that will go above all of my friends, causing it to be very hard to read. This happens with a bunch of people that text me. All people involved are on AT&T network, all getting automatic time from smartphones.
Any way to force texts to go in the order your device receives/sends them rather than by a time stamp?
Thanks folks

Disable notifications in the settings for the Messaging app that came with the phone.
i'm still trying to figure out how to increase font size of incoming calls.
text is just way to small, especially if you're driving and phone is on dash board
i have to squint my eyes or remove phone from dock and pull it up close, all these while driving.
there was a widget/app that said its 'suppose' to able to increase it but tried and tested it and it _does not_ save the font size :/
You can try getting a bold font for your phone. It will however affect all of your phone and not just the lockscreen. I know it doesn't necessarily solve ur problem but i thought it could hold you over until you do get a proper answer.
Anytime I send or receive a picture with text from my Droid Mini on stock Android 4.4 rooted (I've had this issue since I got the phone brand new from Verizon) in the stock messaging app, it makes it a slideshow, and the text is placed at the top cut off by the picture so I can't see it, and there's no way to see the text that I've found. I've tried tapping the picture and pausing, running the slideshow out doesn't show the text, when sending, I've tried putting the text in first then picture and vice-versa...all to the same result. The only available option is selecting whether the text is on the top or bottom but that doesn't change anything. Attaching a couple screenshots to help make my point and I would appreciate any input on a solution because this is quite annoying. And I don't want to use a 3rd party app.

HI,
Very new to LG Gq D800 model and have a couple of questions. Phone is updated to lollipop and is currently on T-mobile sim. I have two questions:
1. The ringer and notification volumes are so low. Any way to increase them. I saw the mod for earlier android version but nothing for Lollipop. Anyone find a fix?
2. The stock Home launcher looks awesome but my eyes are hurting looking at those icon sizes. The text size on the phone seems fine (eg. messaging app is ok), but the home page icons and their titles are just too small to make out and hurts my eyes. Tried messing with DPI settings but doesnt seem to change those icon title size. Also tried changing text setting to Large font with no joy. Any pointers on what to change? My phone is rooted.
Thanks so much.
