Why Sony is not expanding their Messaging window???

varunraul — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:14:59 GMT

Most of the rivals of Sony are offering full messaging window.Which will be very useful while writing big messages.But writing big messages on Sony xperia P small messaging window is just irritating.Is there any chances that Sony will expand their useless messaging window after jellybean update?

Sony persons please reply.Otherwise this gonna be my first & last Sony phone.

Use other apps that can be downloaded on playstore, and try rotating your phone to have a full view on your message

Which app will let me use full messaging window?Rotating phone only widen messaging window & not expand like highlighted in red area.(Sony please respond to my question.)

I agree with florenzgonzales, you should check the play store for a messaging app that allow you to customize this.

Most of the messaging apps in play store run with wifi & i have plenty of apps installed on my phone which require internet to send messages.I have even downloaded go sms pro from play store but when i have imported big message from my phone to go sms pro i was shocked to see that even this app has small messaging window like stock one.I think it's a system problem which can only be solved by sony in their next firmware update.But they are not interested in doing so.

Ok then if you dont mind,why do you want a wide messaging app? Even iphone has an exact messaging style for text. If you want you can also make text larger so that you can see text more clearer

Problem is not with text size.If my message is having 12 lines i can hardly see 3 lines due to small messaging window & i have to scroll down to see rest of the lines.If messaging window is big enough i can easily see all 12 lines without any need to scroll up & down.Which will be much easier to all Xperia users.

Even Handcent app has the same small messaging window like rest of the apps.I think i will stick with the small messaging window till i have this phone.

Did you had this feature on your last phone? If so, what phone was it? If you type a lot, I will suggest that you use your pc to send sms, myphoneexplorer, Google voice are good options.

THIS IS GREAT IDEA MAN!
unfortunately people here (Moderators) can only tell you to do software repair, thats all they can do
Sad but true.

Support this idea people!

that is probably right but as you know software repair fix a lot of issues. concluding that its worth to try that to use a phone that is not working properly. software repair or not? take it or leave it. it is the best answer for all phone issues.

@florenzgonzales indeed repairing the phone does solve a lot of issues, I still think that it's worth a try instead of just complaining about other users and not suggesting anything constructive lol (that last part wasn't directed at you)

@uliwooly

Why don't you just reply with "That's a great idea, hope Sony will consider it."

Honestly, Just like the other issues posted in this forum site, I've thought about this. And I'm glad someone posted it here, though I know the conversation will be just like this.

Yes, it's a complain, but it is also an idea to have a better user experience.

They are taking time to post it because they don't want to switch to other Brand just because of a minor issue; because they don't want to switch from stock app to 3rd party app; because they know that only Sony can do it (because it's Sony's app/phone :smileyhappy:).

They, no, WE are posting discusssions like this in this forum site because it's the only way we know that our complains/idea will be hear by other users (sharing the experiences) and Hopefully by Sony.

Sorry for my bad English.

Have a great day.

Thanks for supporting this idea.Hope sony is keeping eye on this forum & resolve the issue soon.Which may never happen in reality because they are not even interested in replying.

This is the screenshot of Samsung Galaxy S Advance messaging window which is definitely better than Sony xperia P.

Hope Sony is watching this.

This is my first touch screen phone.Before that i was having Nokia N73.Which definitely has full screen messaging window.When i first started messaging from Sony xperia p the window size was only thing which wasn't better than Nokia N73 messaging window.This is the must have feature which big company like Sony still missing even in the 2013.Sony is not relying because they can't do it.

this is my opion

I dont think this should be incorporated, I like to see the ongoing conversation and if this keep on growing then it will block other sms/mms that I receive while I type, now if you think about it, there is an option to this, rotate your phone to landscape then half the screen will be the input box and the other half the keyboard.

Yes,i agree with you.If you turn the phone you get widescreen text area,which is larger and enough to write.I do not know why would you want such a large text area...
