Hi Guys,
I was playing with my HD2 last night when I received SMS, I tapped it to view it but the font size became so large that the writing overlaps.
When I type SMS the font size is ok and when looking at emails the size is fine, its just when u tap an incoming sms the size goes huge, and adivice or help?
I tried searching the forum or htc website but cant seem to see anything..
Thanks
Have you tried adjusting the font size? When viewing messages you can change the font size by clicking on Menu>Text Size.
Hello,
I have the same problem.
When I go to the SMS menu (where you can switch between directories : incoming, sent, trash) : the font is huge.
Except this problem all other font sizes are OK.
I've tried to search in the registry, but no lukc.
I've tried to change the font size in the parameters, even a soft reset : no effect on this huge SMS font.
I can try to send a picture to show the problem.
Thanks for any help !
Hello,
here is a picture of the problem.
On every other else apps, the fonts are OK...
It happened to me too lately, but reinstalling one of the SMS patches repaired it. Unfortunately, I can't remember, which one (07567 or 8007).
Pls. note that patches can be reinstalled only if you set the appropriate values under "HKLM\drivers\builtin\hotfix" to and earlier date. I set all of them to "20091119-00" before reinstall and it worked fine. Checking my registry afterwards shows that the value called "Messaging_Client_Version" is updated to "20100112-00" so you should run the patch that is related to that one.
Good luck! Z
Hello zoltansz,
thanks a lot for your help !
I tried to reinstall the 8007 patch and it works !
I didn't know waht values to change in registry in order to be able to reinstall this patch.
Thanks again for your help !
Do you think that it would be safer to reinstall the other patch 7567 or I don't need to do that ?
Hi !
I can't seem to find the path you indicated... looks like there's no "hotfix" in "built in" registry...
can you help me please ???
Thx
up ???
No one has any news ???
I'm desperate here....
Hi again !!!
I can't believe that no one has an answer on that issue..... i'm on rom 1.66 and i can't reload previous hotfix on sms, but can't find the path to HKLM/drivers/builtin/hotfix...
What should i do ??? how can i read my sms again ???
UP please help !!!!
Do a hard reset, that should fix it.
Just did a hard reset to install the rom 1.66... and that caused the trouble... not sure it will help...
Well, I have the same problem, but have the 1.66 official ROM, and the 8007 patch won't install because it says the version is incompatible (the 1.66 ROM supposedly has all the previous patches included).
I tried searching the registry for the specified "HKLM\....\hotfix" key, and it's not there either.
So, any additional ideas to overcome this problem ?

Hi U all !!
I have a really bad problem...
After using a custom font for phonealarm (a digital kind one ... for the clock) and copied it to "fonts" subdirectory... for any kind of reason now CommManager and one of the pages of the cube is now using that font ... But the really strange and anoying thing is that if i remove that font commmanager and cube keeps using an "inexistent" font ... and there is no way to restore as it was before ...
I read 2 solutions in this forum .... :
- Copying verdana font from win pc to WM font directory ... It does not work...
- Hard Reset ... But this is not a solution since after installing phonealarm with my custom skin it will happend the same again ...
Any idea please ??
TY !
This seems to be a bug in at WM. It's well known to the people who use rlToday.
If you move the font from the '\windows\font' folder to '\windows' it will fix the problem with the comm manager, but Cube will still be the same.
(You can't actually move them, you have to rename them, then delete them. Changes aren't effective until a soft reset.)
This problem also affects some of the fonts in the scrabble clone XWORDS.
It'd be great to find a fix for this.
Hello !!
Ty for the answer but as i said if i remove the font ... comm manager and cube KEEPS using it ... no matter if the font is in .../fonts or directly in /windows/ since even deleting it ... nothing changes ... it keeps using the font ... so i imagine this font is well cached eith "other name" in any unknown location ...
Any idea Please !?
Please since this is affecting many people why dont we descover a solution ?? would be great for for a lot of people ... and of course for me ...
See U !
Well, after I installed it, it doesnt default to Xt9 any more when I go to new messages
Sweet!
can't find this, can you send the link?
this is fantastic!
what ROM are you using ? will this work with any ROM (and ROM language) ?
i would appreciate the link also!
here is the cab file, it's actually just a registry setting fix.
HTC-DUAL-TOUCH-XT9-TO-ABC-FIX
The registry concerned is:
Code:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME]
CarrierDefaultTextMode=dword:0
(0 for ABC / 1 for XT9)
A friend gave me this link as I am also having a problem with the HTC site.
Enjoy!
oh my god it works !!!!
i cant believe how simple that was !!! thank you so much for the registry entry, i can use my phone to text again !!!
it's great!
this was the most anoying thing on my new dual.
tx a lot,
pirlone
Doesn't work for me
in fact it screws my device up!.. it shows the ABC being as the default input, but I can only type the first letter in each key, multiple presses just repeats the same letter
I guess I will have to reflash the OS.. otherwise I now cant use the text input on the keypad anymore!
works on mine. thanks, dtm for letting me know about this.
Maybe doesnt work on mine becos Im running the WM6.1 Nikki project OS ??
Anyone else that has installed this using this Version?
Can you help me? I am begiiner having Dual 2 days. XT9 is really anoying esp for NON english users.But I cannot fix it as it is described. Can you show me step by step what to do? Thanks
It does not work for me!

Please help me. I am a new user having Dual 2nd day. I was trying to install it but it does not work. Can you describe step by step for the beginner what to do? XT9 is realy anoying esp for NON english users.
Hi, just copy the cab to the phone and install it. Maybe you need to softreset your Niki. (open the battery case, the reset button is left to the USB connector).
Cheers

I love this and it is working well for me. My only issue is when using the touch keypad software, when you type it highlights the letters and take a few micro seconds to move to the next so if I am typing a sentence, and press space,it deletes that entire word or atleast the last few letters that I typed :-( So the only way to solve this is not text that fast or use the hardware keypad.
Wow I noticed so many people reposting this when this was posted a long time ago.
Anyway, just wanted to confirm this is working on my wifes elf also
Finally there's something to kill XT9
Change Mode from ABC to XT9 or XT9 to ABC.
Hey everyone!
First, I wanted to start out thanking muzikfreakah for the link to the .cab file and the posting the Registry path that needs to be modified. I used these as a base reference for the work I completed on my phone. Instead of wanting to go from XT9 to ABC, I wanted to change my phone from ABC to XT9.
Initially I used PHM Registry Editor to make the necessary change to the Registry value you noted. Shortly thereafter, I updated my ROM to WM 6.1 so I had to reapply the settings manually. This got me thinking. Why not just create a quick .cab file for myself, saving me time in the future. This is exactly what I did!
Attached are two .cab's I created a while back (just never got around to uploading them). The first .cab (SP_Default_ABC_To_XT9.cab) modifies the appropriate Registry Key, setting it to 1 (defaulting to XT9). The second .cab (SP_Default_XT9_To_ABC.cab) does just the opposite, changing the value to 0 (defaulting to ABC).
Final notes before I part -
File Sizes: The file size of each of my .cab's is 1.07 KB, as it only contains the necessary Registry Key change. The link muzikfreakah provided brings you to "HTC+Touch+Dual-default-ABC.cab". This file size is 20.76 KB, as it appears to use a more complex method of making the necessary Registry changes.Company and Application Name: After my .cab is installed, it will display in the Installed Programs list as "Seth_Polley Default_XT9_To_ABC" (or vice versa depending on .cab used). After installing the other .cab (HTC+Touch+Dual-default-ABC.cab), the following is displayed in the Programs list: "Customization Customize_Tool".
In summary, either file will work for changing from XT9 to ABC. While 20.76 KB is nothing by today's standards, you can go smaller yet by using my .cab's (about 1/20th of the file size). Additionally, my .cab's provide a more descriptive name in the Programs list. Pick your poison! To 'install' the Registry modification, simply move the .cab to your phone, execute it, and follow the prompts.
Feel free to PM me if you have difficulties accessing/downloading the files. If you are concerned about using my files, feel free to open the .cab (can use an application like WinRAR) and review the contained "_setup.xml" file to verify this .cab will only make the changes I noted above.
Best Regards,
Seth

Hello,
I've the same problem : see my post on another older thread : on huge font size in HTC messenger SMS.
I'm with 1.48 ROM too...
I tried a lot of things :
- value in registry for font size,
- font size in parameters,
- reinstall my tuning cabs,
- soft reset...
with no luck !
Yeah I ever try it before i'm posting... And i look registry and i change the font size but no luck.
So.... HardReset and SPB Backup if the bug comeback ^^
Hey all,
Check out the attached screenshot of my messages screen. I updated my ROM to the HTC 1.66 and reinstalled all of my apps etc. But look at my messages. When I go to type one the text is of similar size and hard to read...barely fitting 2 words on one line. Can someone please help!!
Thanks.
Richard
There is a similar thread over on Themes and Apps. Did you restore a backup after updating your ROM? If so, the registry from your old ROM will have overwritten the registry from the new ROM. Hence your problem.
If this is the case, hard reset and reinstall cabs etc manually.
PLEASE HELP ME GUYS....
