Hi all. So I have an unlocked Tattoo which I created a goldcard and successfully flashed thanks to the excellent advice from people on this forum.
However, there is one thing that frustrates me about it. And that is the timestamp on SMS messages. There is an update for the HTC Magic which solves this problem but I have been unable to find one for the Tattoo. Does anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks!!
Whats wrong with your timestamp?

without further info, we can't confirm this issue, it could just be your software revision loaded on the device...
Whenever I get an incoming text the timestamp says it is 4 hours earlier than the time I received it. Yet my sent texts have the right timestamp, so my thread is all messed up. All my received texts are at the top and all my sent texts are at the bottom.
I am not sure what details you want but my software version is 1.67.4 on the Rogers network.
What I have been experiencing is that it seems like the incoming timestamp is set somehow by the sender's carrier. Im saying that because I usually receive texts from people on 3 different carriers and only one of them has this problem. So I do not really bother about it.

True true. I've noticed the same. It seems like a problem with the senders operator not setting the correct time.

A couple of CM updates ago, my G1 started having some issues on sending SMS texts. It's been been completely crazy ever since.
Sometimes messages don't get sent, other times they're sent with a huge delay and on the other side, my gf says she's receiving multiple repeated messages from me without it actually appearing on my messaging log.
In other words: she's receiving the same message I had sent the previous day over and over again.
Has anyone had this kind of problem as of late?
Any help is appreciated!
no one has had this problem besides myself?
Sounds extremely weird, and I don't think I've seen it anywhere. Try wiping messagin data and cache from Settings->Applications->Manage Applications. Other then that... call and complaint to your provider.

I get the exact same problems!!
Are you in UK too?
Chances are it's the network as opposed to the phone.
Otherwise, I'd try clearing the cache (listed above) and if that fails to rectify the issue, ask others in your area if they have similar issues.
Call up the provider, maybe they can re-register your APNs.

Not far from it. Portugal to be exact.

Problem is G1s aren't sold in Portugal. They never made it. However, I may have changed from my manually configured APN to a predefined one from the CM mod. maybe that's the problem.
Either way, I'll investigate the APN settings and clear the messaging cache and report my results back.
Hi,
My HTC HD7 is having a bit of a problem. The caller id does not funtion properly all my contacts have the area code prefix for all the numbers. When I receive a call the caller name is not shown only the number is shown. But if I remove the area code the caller name is shown. But then all the sms (text messages) I receive shows only the Sender's number and not the name. Please let me know if there is a fix for this.
Thx
Well known problem and still without solution.
Probably we'll need someone to hack the registry and we can find the key where the caller ID match the number.
Mine also has the same problem.
same here
Mine is having the same problem... is an HTC issue... I searched everywhere and there's no solution yet available... Can't believe HTC made this error....
Hi,
Any news about fix the caller ID problem on Mango Update ?
mango 7712 still has that problem
Having updated my phone to mango 7712, I´m still having this problem. I wouldn´t say is and HTC problem but a windows Phone 7 bug. It´s hard to believe they did nothing about it.
Turn off international assist under phone settings and your problems will disappear. Once off, power cycle your phone

I have the same problem and turning off international assist won't do anything to help. I've reported this twice to HTC and once to @winphonesupport on twitter (lots of back and forth and made them understand that many people are having this problem and they said they were aware that other people are having this issue and that they will let the right people on the WP team know).. Yeah so hopefully this gets fixed with mango, but im not too optimistic about that.
Have you tried? I had that problem as it adds characters in the numbers, then it does not recognize from the list of contacts. It worked for me, all works now....

I have! i wish it did work! you're in australia which is probably why it works. An htc rep actually called me (i was really surprised) but i was running late for a dinner so i barely heard what he had to say. he was like yeah we have that problem with some countries like lebanon(mine) and iceland and htc is working on it for future phones but not this one or something like that. i was late and couldn't talk so i said ok thanks and hung up.
Hi,
this never happened to me before on my Legend.
I'm using handcent sms, but don't know if it has something to do with that, with the OS (used handcent on my Legend too) or my carrier provider.
When I write loads of sms with a friend, it happened already 3 times that suddenly I got a reply from someone completely unknown (unknown number), informing me about that he/she (wrongly) received this sms from me that should have been sent to my friend. My friend then didn't get that sms, although it's correctly listed in the appropriate sms "thread" for my friend's contact and NOT in the new thread created for this unknown number.
Has anyone experienced this before?
I think it's even more strange since this number isn't in my contacts and it's completely unrelated (not just a few numbers swapped, but a completely different carrier).
Has anyone experienced something like that?
This happened to me 2 times on stock Froyo and yesterday on Gingerbread..
Thanks for any help
Max
That's due to a bug with Android itself.
This was fixed with version 2.3.3, so if you get your self a GB(2.3.3) rom, all will be good.
That's strange, I'm already on gingerbread.. still it happened yesterday or the day before.
Handcent is your culprit!
Got myself into a LOT of trouble with the right msg going to the wrong person... LOL
get yourself chomp which is better in this aspect
or use the default app..
I recently installed Android Revolution, and I use GO SMS to handle my text messages. Ever since installing the new ROM, I sometimes have a problem where text messages sent by others get "stuck", as in they only show up when I've sent a text myself.
An example is that I send a message, a friend replies 5 minutes later, but this doesn't show up on my end until I've sent a text.
What could be causing this? I don't think I had this issue when running stock.
Thanks.
I'm also having issues with SMS on revolution... Some of my texts aren't getting sent, and every once in awhile I'll have no activity and then awhile later 10 texts all with timestamps from an hour beforehand get delivered all at once.
I had a lot of issues with texts before this though, my friends on stock rom/stock phone and his texts rarely send.
I'm ENG s-off, radio s-off, gingerbread radio, correct APN's (I'm pretty sure). I'm almost positive this is a problem with the ****ty network and not the rom.
Also every once in awhile I have to reboot, it'll say my SIM card doesn't allow access to the network, or I'll be roaming 24/7... these two are new with Revolution. Definitely having reception issues.
Are you using the .22 radio?

Yes, I flashed 20.2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M as recommended before installing Android Revolution.
I have no other problems with the ROM, so I don't think mine is a network issue.
I'd try the .27 radio if I were you. I had several texts being delayed or received late, and even a couple of people say they'd tried to ring me but couldn't get through.
Flashed the .27 radio a few days ago and haven't had any of those issues so far.
I'll give that a try this afternoon and see how it goes. Thanks!
Any update as to how this worked? I noticed issues with delayed messages this morning.
I've read that it's a known issue with this model and there may be a fix coming in me July from htc.

I'm trying out Go SMS from the market. Messages have been fine all last night and today so fair. Pretty nifty app.

Flashing the .27 radio made things a little better, but messages still get stuck sometimes. It's really annoying.
messages getting stuck i think means sms not being able to be sent out. maybe your signal

My messages send fine, it's the delay of receiving messages that is the issue. I get full bars pretty much all the time.
Apparently Gingerbread is the cause of this, at least on my network. (Bell hasn't released an official 2.3 update yet)

Same, i've tried .12 .22 & .27.
The best was .12
But i still get that stupid problem of text messages coming through late.
Go SMS still working fine here. Been spot on for two days.
I've been using the 06.03.03 radio and though it's better, I still have problems with text messages that aren't received/sent quickly. This has been a problem with all the radios on Rogers for me.

Story of my life lol...I'm sick of the delyayed sms!

Hello everyone,
I have a carrier unlocked G920T which I am using. The current carrier I'm using is [email protected], and I've been having a bit of an issue. For some reason, my phone will receive text messages, but not send any. I checked the APN (which was updated to [email protected]'s settings), phone had a factory reset and such. The only way I've been able to send text messages is through GOSMS, which I personally don't like, and would like to use other SMS apps without getting an error when sending a message.
Anyone has any idea why I'm getting this issue? The phone's running Android 6.0.1 and my mobile plan does not have MMS/Mobile Data.
Sorry if I placed this post in the wrong section of the forums and thank you in advanced.

Not an expert... but this happened to me like 2 weeks ago...
I had to call the T-mobile (in my case) and they fixed it... as it was a carrier problem, some codes thing...
It was my SIM card that was giving me issues. Went and got the SIM changed, seems to be working now.
But it seems it's the other way around now, not receiving, but able to send. I'm jynxed.
