Hi There, have a Tytn, nice large screen but am unable to read without my specs. Have set on largest fonts in settings but does not help with the incoming call details, so cant see who is calling until i put my specs on...really inconvenient. Is there any software out there that can help?
Thanks
You have your Text set to the Largest font correct?? Settings\screen\text size.
Large Fonts
I have set to largest but it is still too small. Purchased "Address Book" from Inesoft and that helps, still would like to see something more functional. Anybody out there with the know how up to it?
Hello all, I've been searching high and low for how to change the font size in Arcsoft MMS. I recently flashed to 6.5 Build 21501 with PPC Kitchen and I can't find a way to adjust the size of the fonts when composing a message. I've changed everything I can find in nueFont to no avail. I've tried Arcsoft MMS v3 and v5 and I can't seem to change it in either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Dustin
Here is a screenshot using Arcsoft 5.
Hmm...that screen doesn't show up on mine. I'm running the VZW version of Arcsoft MMS v5.0.70.24. What version do you have?
That screen only shows up in an MMS message in the text box.... Not sure where to change the SMS text size... probably in the registry......
azclown, thanks for the guidance. I did find that menu, but you're right, it doesn't change the SMS font size. Its only for MMS.
I checked the registry but didnt find anything particularly telling. I'm not quite skilled enough with PPC reg editing to go changing settings.
The thing thats frustrating is I know it was smaller in WM6.1. In fact, it might have even been editable by nueFont. Its not in WM6.5.
That's part of my MMS option while using Arcsoft ver 5.0.71.33 made for Alltel.
But I'm a little confused. Are you trying to change the font size in an MMS or SMS?

The SMS font size. I used to be able to read three or four messages at a time in the threaded mode, now I can barely fit one on screen because the font size is so huge.

Ah, ok. Easy solution. Go into a mail message (not MMS/SMS). Go to the Menu button (right soft key) -> View -> Text Size -> and choose an option. That should adjust for all of your messages (mail, MMS, etc). I'm not sure why the menu doesn't appear in the MMS messages, though. Hope that helps.
Heh, I wish it was that easy. I actually don't have that option. Lemme see if I can get an updated version and see if that works.
The only version I could find for VZW was the one that had been stripped out of the Treo 800w, but most things I read said it didn't work very well. Not sure I want to risk messing up my services just to decrease the font size. There's got to be some reg setting that'll fix this. Help me XDA!
dup post, sorry
Start/Settings/System/Screen tab at bottom for text size. It's pretty global in wm6.5 but works on sms,mms,email, and ie.

I have the verizon and it is tricky but you do have it.
btonetbone is right. Its just a little harder on ours.
here is where i found it.
messages / right soft(menu) / new / mms
then tap box under pic(insert text here)
in new screen right soft / text size
Is it possible to make the sms txt smaller then the smallest size in the default sms app. Something like the smallest font on whatsapp
Thanks people
Using the stock ROM I don't think you can. It would be great to know if developers can tweak this in the custom ROMs, I also think the smallest font is still too big .
You have system fonts on small as well??
Settings>Display>Font Size
You can.
Just use the volume rocker when you're reading a text.
You just have to enable it first in settings, by hitting the menu button when you first open up messaging.
Using the Samsung Messages app on my Verizon S9+, I am unable to permanently change the font size in the actual conversation screen. Yes, you can pinch to shrink and expand font size but that gets reset to standard size every time (unlike on the S7 Edge where it remembered your size preference).
Through Settings, you can globally adjust font size but the only Messages screen this affects is the main Conversation screen which shows all conversations. Once you click on a conversation, normal font size is presented. Frustrating for my old eyes...
UPDATE: Ironically, when you adjust Font Size in Settings, if you swipe the sample screen above the sliders, it shows you a sample Messages screen and the font size does change in the sample, but it does NOT change in the actual Messages app. Sounds like a bug to me as they are depicting what I want to do, just doesn't work.
I'd like to use the stock app as it has some features that are unique. There must be a way to change the font size so the setting is persistent, no?
Seeing the same also. Hard for my aging eyes to see.
And also finding it doesn't follow the global setting for size. Same as you.
Same issue. I don't think you can change the font size just for the Message app.
I when back to my beloved and trusted Textra SMS app.
It changes when you change the font size in display settings font.

As I mentioned in my post, this is not true. On my phone, changing the font size in display setting ONLY affects font size in the main Conversations view. Once you click on an actual conversation, the font size returns to the default tiny size.
You can get a newer version on apkmirror.com but it wont allow updating samsung apps for some reson. Anyone have the latest version of messages signed by samsung that will install?
They need ro bring back the S8 messaging app which has this inbuilt feature to adjust text. Wonder, why they ripped off that useful feature.

It doesnt stick.
I updated my original post with this tidbit:

Hopefully Samsung will acknowledge this bug and release a new version of the app. Clearly the global Font Size Setting is supposed to do exactly this.
Same thing. Very frustrating

It's really not that hard to pinch zoom. Takes a half second. Sure, it'd be nice if it would stick but, c'mon man.
I had a problem with the Background colors in the Messaging ap - some of the themes I like to use are really awesome but when I get to the messaging ap, they used yellow fonts on a white background - nearly impossible to read. I either have to use a different messaging ap entirely (Mood is a pretty good one I found that has TONS of customization options) or just guess at what was written - or change themes.
It's dissapointing that I can't change the balloons or fonts in the messaging ap any more - would be nice if we could - and change font size too - so for now, I am using the MOOD messaging ap and while I prefer the Samsung Stock one better - Mood isn't bad at all.
Its not only internal Messages app, Viber and Hangouts has really small font in input line. Tried increasing font size, tried toying with DPI settings. No idea why its like that and only affecting text input lines, but hope some later update could fix that?
Hi Everyone..I just got the 9 plus and the messaging app is different than it used to be. It is just blue bubbles with white background. It wont let me change anything like before and the setting the background wallpaper for messages is no longer there....is that how everyone else's is?
I also switched to Textra for the all of the customization that it offers. It's a free download so I gave it a try and I've stuck with it since. Just my 2ยข

No, not "come on man". It should work as designed, and has worked since GSI-II.
I use Chomp. Let's you change all of the fonts and sizes, including the message notification pop-up.

I think you mean, "It should work the way I want it to work." It IS working as designed. It's just that you don't like the new design.
That's not to say that I don't agree that it would be better if we could choose a persistent font size. I do.
But we're talking about a split-second pinch out to increase the size.
A split-second.
So, yeah... C'mon.

Thousands of people having to take a split-second to adjust for a design bug every single time? No. You're missing the point.
I love the new feature although when it converts your writing to text it makes the text large like a childrens book, is there any way to change this as it makes it unuseable.
If you type in Samsung notes the text is small and a normal note taking app. then you change to S-Pen and write a note and convert it to text and you can't even make it as small as the text size from when you use the keyboard. Seems like an awesome feature not very well executed.
Anyone have a different experience

I haven't figured out a way to change the default font size of 20 but after I convert the handwriting to text I can tap on the first word, then select all. Once all is highlighted then I have a font size option. Certainly not ideal! Just got this Tab6 so still looking for answers.
