Hidden text in calendar month view - Windows Phone 7 General

If you look at the calendar in month view that there is really small text representing your events. You would think the text would list the actual title of your event, but looking at it closely it looks like just a bunch of repeated hidden messages.
I can make out one as "Hello from Seattle" but I can't read any of the others.
Or maybe I'm mistaken/insane, the text is pretty small.

I thought the little text is just nonsense... As far as I know it only there to give a hint that you have appointments on that day.

Yea that's the purpose of it, but I thought Microsoft might have stuck a few messages in there just as easter eggs or whatever.

Yes you're right... Although you can't read most of them.

Can I suggest that you solve this the simplest way -- which is by using one of the highest recommended APPS out there? Handcent SMS --- It gives you complete and total customization control over every aspect of the interface of both the text entry/ conversation space -- as well as the list of conversations -- including:
control over the issue you want: inverted order
But also: background color (or image), sender text bubble color background, sender font type, font color, font size; receiver text bubble background, font type, color, size -- and DATE font, color, size, as well as spacing between items.
As well as overall theme/skin --- such as "HTC HERO" style or IPHONE style or ANDROID style or HANDCENT style or custom.
And all of the above font and color controls are settable for the CONVERSATION LIST as well...
Hope that helps. I actually don't know if the native app or HTC app has that inverted flow control or not.
First thing to check is your time/timezone. If it's wrong, the phone will think you sent the message later than the reply and put the reply before your outgoing text.
I had this myself so I know it can happen.
the time and time zone is correct i checked . its wierd cuz in normal phones messages goes down and on my desire i have to scroll up to see it
I have a same problem here, but not for all messages. Only for those coming from specific network(s). I think the problem is in their SMS server time settings. It's annoying sometimes, but I can live with it ...
When someone sends me a message from my provider, it's all fine...
EDIT: There's some fix here on XDA for those from USA (if that's the case). Try searching the forums...

Its really because HTC have coded their messaging app to read the time-stamp of the SMS. The time-stamp that was assigned by the server that it came from, which could be hours different from your time. Its been a known problem since the beginning of sense UI back on WinMo! Most other phones/apps just use the phones time as a time-stamp. When the message comes in, its stamped with whatever time is currently on your phone.
Take quicksites recommendation and get Hancent, its an awesome messaging app.

[Q] Large contact photo's on homescreen?

Hey all, a while ago I was browsing threads for my old Moto Milestone, and saw a screenshot where the person had large contact icons on his homescreen (about equiv to 1x1 widget per contact). I thought I had read they were using either FolderOptions or BetterCut, but when I try to setup either, the contact photos always come out tiny. Am I messing up the setup of either of these, or could someone who has done this either either program, give me a hand.. Or even could someone point me to a way to do this? I always found the HTC People/LauncherPro Plus one kinda lacking, and REALLY lacks customization.
All I'm really looking for is a Contact photo on my homescreen that when I click it would either popup the little contact slide bar(phone/txt/email/etc) or just take me straight into HTC People contacts. Ability to turn on/off contacts name text would be a bonus!
Any help/app suggestions?
Wow.. 46 views and no one has a suggestion or even a comment?
How about this.. anyone know if it's possible, or what I'd have to hack, to increase the thumbnail size from the original Shortcuts -> Contacts or Shortcuts -> People to increase the size and remove the frame? (either full 1x1 widget size, or even 2x2 would work beautifully)
I believe you can use an app called "desktop visualiser"
Haven't used it for that purpose myself but i don't see why it shouldn't work.
Hope it helps.

OMFG That was EXACTLY what I was trying to find something to do! You are a life-saver.. I had given up finding something to do it, and just started learning to write an app to do it myself LOL Oh well, maybe I'll keep writing and see what I end up with.. but this is seriously the perfect tool for me.. It's gonna take over like 65% of my homescreen space now lol

Do you want it to display the day, date, month, year?
or
You want it to collect your events from your calendar and display them?

damn you are right. my fault.
and yes, display the events.
somehow "calendar" is only linked with events in my head.
so you got any ideas for that ?
Take a look here for Pure Calendar.
Does the middle screenshot look like what your after?

if you use launcher pro you can resize the widget, im not sure if that would just squash the 6 lines, or if it would crop it when resized..

Help with K9 mail is there a good thread or forum for this software?

I installed K9 Mail. wow am I impressed with this. I mean really impressed.
I have 5 issues. I am wondering if there is a FORUM anywhere for K9 ??
#1 Sound notifications. it plays one for EVERY single message that comes in. is there a setting anywhere (I looked did not find one) to make it only announce ONCE until I check the mail like gmail does?
#2 When I click the icon to open K9 it goes to the menu with 3 options.
Unified Inbox
All Message
gmail (my account)
I never EVER want to see this screen. now it has an option to check for "goto unified" when you starup but it appears to have no effect.
when I click the "notification" in the status bar it goes directly to unified.
but when I click a shortcut to the k9 application 100% of the time it loads that menu first and I have to then click Unified Inbox to goto mail.
anyway to fix this?
#3
I have mine set for VERY TINY text. I LOVE that I get so much info on the screen really love it.
problem is I can not tell the difference between "read" and "not read" messages. is there anyway to differenciate it more?
I am using the dark theme.
there is a difference. read is offwhite unread is bright white but its VERY hard to make this distinction on the screen at this font size.
#4 some message have a "gray" highlight over the entire message entry on the list. What does this mean?
in relation to #3 this would be PERFECT for distinguishing read and unread. ie grey highlight for unread no grey highlight for read (this is now how its being used now)
#5 There is a BLUE BAR at the top that says Unified Inbox # etc.. etc..
is there anyway to remove this? its useless info I just don't need and would rather it goaway (I could see it being useful if you had multiple mail boxes but I don't)
any help would be greatly appreciated.
besides these quirks (and they are rather minor quirks for the most part) I and FLAT OUT impressed. Hard core. with this program.

[Q] How to ungroup Gmail messages

Is there a way to ungroup messages in GMail? It keeps adding all messages into one message from one sender..
I don't think so. That's the whole point of Gmail, it threads messages by subject.
Yes You Can..

By default, Gmail was originally designed to keep all the messages and replies with the same subject line grouped together in one convenient place. While this “conversation view” was intended to spare users the chore of rooting around the In box for a particular message in the thread, it can be unwieldy when a lot of people are contributing to the conversation.
Google realized that not everybody likes having the messages clumped together, so Gmail now makes it optional. To ungroup your messages, log into your Gmail account on the Web, click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and choose Mail Settings. On the General tab, in the Conversation View area, click the button next to “Conversation view off” and then click the Save Changes button at the bottom of the settings page.
