Wrong sms incoming time

For some reason my sms time is a few hours off only on incoming messages. When I send a txt it shows it at the right time though. It makes reading txt convost a lot more annoying. Any ideas?

It's an Rogers issue... search the market for smstimefix. put in your offset, and all future texts will show the right time I've had this issue on 2 unlocked android phones...

Thanks I will try it. I managed to fix it just setting + 0 on the time zone and setting time manually

[Q] SMS notification reminder

Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know of a way to get the Captive to do a reminder that an unanswered SMS message has come in? My old phone would chime every 5 minutes until I read the message and this was kind of nice.
Thanks

check out an awesome app named handcent.

I should install that on my husband's Captivate. He NEVER checks his notifications and sometimes it goes days before he gets my texts.

Stock SMS app does not support this. Most have gone to 3rd party apps, most popular being Handcent.

Missed Reminder is a good app if you still want to use the stock SMS app.

Thank you, I'll give that a try.

handcent SMS has a option where if u didnt check the message u can set a reminder...i set mine to every 5 minutes

I use tasker and it works awesome!

That's what I use and it works great for SMS, MMS and Gmail. Only gripe is that it doesn't support regular e-mail.

[Q] Samsung Messaging app (GB)

Well, i have the stock messaging app, and using TW launcher 4.. so its literally stuck on the home screen. That being said, ive decided to use that app because i like the TW launcher. My problem is, because that app doesnt have the popup notification, i downloaded SMS popup, and now whenever i reply to an sms using SMS popup, it doesnt mark the message as read. And it also shows a little blip with (#) of unread messages right there on the home screen.
How can i fix this?
Thanks

probably something the app maker needs to fix. I would email them. I use go sms right now and when I read it through the pop ups it kills the notification.

lol, the app maker is samsung i dont see them fixing it anytime soon. I would use go SMS but i like the stock tw launcher... And i dont think its possible to replace the message icon (already in the launcher) with go sms. If this is possible, please let me know.
Thanks

I think for sms popup you have to disable notifications on the stock app and then use it...

Sorry, u do disable it in the stock sms app. I knew 5 minutes after I typed but I had a busy day and never got back to relieve myself of the stupidity I typed.

SMS Popup does not have any options to disable stock messaging app notifications.

That's only half of it. That only takes out the notification in the notification bar and the ringtone/vibration. In the TW4 launcher, the messaging app gets a little blip, like IOS about unread message. That is what i want to erase. I set the notification on the stock messaging app completely off, but that blip still comes here .
Its literally a circle with the number of unread messages in it at the top right side of the application shortcut. ie. (2)

Call log

Is there any way to remove messages from the call log? I want to able to see sent/received/missed calls without having to scroll through all the texts I've sent that day. None of my previous phones have ever included messages in the call log. It's a bloody nuisance

I believe that's an Android thing. You could always use a custom Dialer and call log app... search the market.

go to logs, press the touchkey in the left and under view by option select ur preferable option..

also, give callLog+ from the market a whirl.

Thanks guys. Can't find callLog+ in the market. Can anyone recommend something similar?

Sync not working with apps

I'm not getting any notifications from my apps such as Facebook, Yahoo mail, etc. I'm on xxlc1 gingerbread. Sync and background data are both on in settings. Its rare but sometimes a notification will come through for Facebook, but notifications for other apps never come through.

I will note for clarification, messaging and hey tell notifications do show up, just not notifications for email, or other apps like that.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Check the app settings,not the phone settings for notifications, the phone only sync,but if u want notifications go to the facebook,gmail or whatever app and check if the notifications are enabled.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Checked again to make sure. Everything is set correctly. It's weird, sometimes everything works fine, then other times I don't get any of my notifications. It reminds me how ios worked when I had an iPhone, if you ran so many things after the app you were supposed to get notifications from, it just doesn't happen because it gets kicked out of memory. rebooting seems to help though. Just annoying it happens randomly
