[Q] Incoming SMS Timestamp off by -5 hours - HD7 General

Hey guys,
I have an unlocked HD7 from Bell and I'm using it under Rogers right now. I have a problem where my incoming SMS are behind by 5 hours. (They come right away but the stated time on them is off by 5 hours).
I tried fiddling with the timezone settings to match the times but then it messes up my calendar times.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Joey

Anyone figure this out?
I am 2 hours out (thinking it has to do with where the Bell SMS center is located)
hoping someone can figure out a fix
I am in Calgary, AB, Canada and using Fido if that makes a difference. I am thinking I could update to a different ROM, anyone know if that will work and what ROM I should choose?
thanks in advance

This is a known issue at Microsoft i mentioned it to them when i went there for an interview as well the only way to fix it is by doing the following.
1) goto Settings> Date & Time>
2) Turn off "set automatically"
3) Set Time Zone to "UTC Coordinated Universal Time"
4) Manually enter the correct time in the "Time" field
5) Adjust the date if you have to.
And Save and restart your phone this should fix the issue its not an actual fix but it works.

Well I took your advice and changed the timezone to UTC - 03 (then manually set the time)
Seems to have done the trick; will just have to remember to adjust for time zones I guess
thanks

Wait; spoke too soon
that messed up all the times for my email, the emails are all time stamped 3 hours in the future.
Oh well, guess I will just never have that "Perfect" phone.
Just annoying as this HD7 is probably the best phone I have ever had but there are so many of these annoyances...

What email are you using on the device? Outlook or just a standard Hotmail / Live acct? I will be unlocking my Bell HD7 very soon to use it on Rogers as well and I do not use Outlook so if the fix above sorts out the TEXT issue and does not bother my "Hotmail / Live" email then I will be a happy man however... I dont really use my email on my phone that much anyways so I guess as long as this fixes the SMS timestamp issue then I should be fine.
At any rate... If you could let me know anyways I would appreciate it.
***EDIT*** I tried this today after unlocking my Bell HD7 and running it on Rogers and it did not work at all. Now instead of the time stamp being 4 hours slow, it is now 2 hours fast using Universal Coordinated Time (UTC). Anyone else know how to get a proper time stamp on SMS after unlocking and using on a different network?

I just gave up and am now licing with a 4 hour tamestamp issue on my text.
my email, calendar and everything else works so this is just something I guess I have to live with. Not that bad
Email via hotmail & yahoo using the WP7 email program

My EVO does the same thing. Only when my cousin sends MMS he's on cricket. It has also done it when the towers messed up in my area.

Ya... Same with me. I gave up as well and am now living with the timestamp issue on my texts, mms, etc... My outgoing texts go out at the right time and are being received by the recipients at the right time but when I receive a text it is out of wack.
What I dont understand is that when I get a text and I get the "toast notification" at the top of my phone, the time stamp there is CORRECT but when I open my messages and look at the actual message itself it is out of wack. WEIRD!!!
Does yours do this as well?

Pocket Outlook Partial Emails Being Sent

Hi everyone,
I have searched exhaustively on this forum and via google but cannot find a solution anywhere.
Certain emails that I send via Pocket Outlook are only partially being sent. (longer emails)
Its not an SMTP issue because I have tried 3 different SMTP servers and the same thing is happening.
What is very strange is that the entire messages shows up in the sent folder but when someone else receives it only a paragraph shows up. (I have also sent them to one of my emails to test and they are partially showing up). But what is even odder is that its not with all messages, some are being received fine.
I thought that it could be some kind of font issue but that didn't work.
If someone has any ideas I would be grateful as I use the phone for business and my customers are not receiving full emails so its a big problem for me. Also just to add I am pretty sure this just started happening recently and I haven't changed any settings either.
Thanks again for your replies.

Picture Mail not Working! Help!!!!!!!

Well, this would be my first official post. I'm a newbie . I just bought my Diamond about one week ago and I like it alot. I'm a convert from Verizon. Loved the service but not the price plans so I switched. I get so much more with Sprint for the price. Anyway, when I first got it the internet connection would not work. Called techs and they fixed that problem. Set up email, Wifi, pic mail, and pic mail service and all other stuff. Except pic mail does not work or it only half works. I can send or upload to my sprint pic account website, but I can't receive pic mail. I see the uploads and pics from my friends but it doesn't send them to my phone. So, like WTH . Anyways, I can't receive from the website or from my friends who are on Sprint. Talked to a tech and she said I would have to set my email up and pic mail up and I did. I had to do something else and she said she would call me back, but never did. Kinda pissed about that. Any clues or the like would be helpful? Like I said I can send, upload, and receive on the web account but not receive from the web or from my friends phones on Sprint. If anybody had a similar problem or fixed it their own way before calling the techs let me know? I want the pic mail to fully work.
i have a simimliar problem i cant send/receive mms messages from my girlfriend who has verizon and i have ATT. i jsut got my diamond about 5 days ago
I was reading other threads/posts and sometimes it depends on the network and the quality or size of the picture, video, etc. she is sending to you. The higher the resolution or larger the file, the longer it takes. The lower the quality or smaller the file the shorter it takes. Sometimes the networks regulate the size of what you send. Hope this helps.

The weird thing is that Cybertoads and my mutual friend also has a Diamond and on his everything works perfectly fine. At first it literally took 2 weeks for a picture mail to arrive on my phone after sending it from his, but downloading the Picture mail update from Sprint seemed to have fixed that issue, now he can send and receive them no problem. I have a Sprint Touch, and I have no problem either sending and receiving pictures.
Anyone else have the problem that Cybertoad is encountering?
Possible Solution: sMMS App
I've had the same problem, I've had my Diamond since it came out months ago and I've tried several times to get picmail working. Just last night I came across this: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=22509 [the first post has a lot of details about the app.] Read through that and you can download the program and try it out, I really liked it and donated the $5 through paypal like the creator suggested and I was surprised by how quickly I was able to register and get the full version up and running [and you get a lifetime license for that donation]. So far, I've gotten sending picmail working just fine with this program. Receiving is another matter, and it's an issue that seems to only be on the Diamond and the Touch Pro. Typically on Sprint phones that can't get regular MMS, they'll send a regular txt message with a link that you can click on and download the picture, they were able to get this program to intercept those txts and automatically download the picture like regular MMS is supposed to work. However, on the Diamond and Touch Pro, it does not send a txt with a link to the MMS since the native Sprint picmail app should be working (but they just can't seem to get it working at all!). They have wrote on their site [http://smms.vision5.com/] that they are working on that problem. In the meantime, in the app you can just click on your inbox and it'll sync all your recent new picmails right in the program, you don't need to go through the Sprint picmail site and you can view the pictures, download them to your phone, reply to the messages, etc. It's just a matter of how often you get picmail which would determine how often you should check for anything new. Alternatively, if you tell people that when they send you an MMS make sure they send a regular txt message telling you they sent the MMS, you'll be able to go into the program and check. This app seems way easier to use than the native Sprint one [if it even worked] and seems like these guys can get more things done in their free time than the developers over at Sprint who should have had this problem solved by now. It's also quite fast at sending the pics [and notifies you when it's done sending] and you can set if you want the pictures resized before being sent.
Hope that helps.
Feel free to contact me if you need any help,
Matt
Thanks for the info Matt.

Gmail/Email issues

Hey just wondering if anyone else is having any issues on receiving their emails to the phone? I keep pressing send/receive to get my emails but nothing is coming at all. But when i looked at my email box on the computer i had 3 new messages. Nothing is coming to my phone at all...what i did get was an email from 2 days ago. I called ATT and also HTC and they couldnt figure out whats going on. I even deleted and put in the email to see if it would work but nothing. So im just wondering if theres any way to fix this issue? or also does anyone else have this issue?
mm i have noticed this too
it even feels as though it is selectively choosing which emails to dnload.
i tried changing storage settings and upping all the limits but no go, for me it only does this with my gmail account, so i just put it down to gmail and gave up...
SAME HERE!!!!
I too am having the same issue I am running PDAcorner v20. I have a gmail account tied into my phone. what i have noticed to far is that from 1 perticular sender it doesnt dl from but this causes the rest of the email not to dl. if i delete that 1 email from that sender and click send/receive all others will come in fine.
i have already tried a few radios and roms thinking it was the prob but I was wrong. its been going on since i say maybe around a week to a week and a half.

i'm also running pda corner v20, have eitherone of you tried deleting the gmail accont from the phone and set it up from scratc? i havent had any issues with my gmail.
yea i deleted my gmail account and started it from scratch....at that time it only downloaded an old email. but right now it seems like the emails are coming normal to me now....i think it was att issue cause later that night my phone went to EDGE instead of having 3G and then in the morning when i woke up it was back to 3G. So im thinking ATT was working on something and fixed the issue!
I also tried deleting and starting from scratch. I know its not the rom as I have tried several all with the same results. The wiered thing is like I said before if i choose NOT to d/l email from that specific sender all my emails d/l with no problems. I really can't understand whats going on. I have neva heard of anything like this

"verify sms center settings are correct" error

i've done some searching for the past few hours and cant find a solution to this problem so either i suck at searching...which is probably it...or my phone is just acting retarded...which could be it too haha.
i can't send text messages to (so far) only 1 contact in particular and it started last night. i was on ZeroXd-5.0r3 for about 48 hours or so, not having any problems with texting, until late last night. i try sending her a text saying goodnight, and instead of a response from her, i get an error message saying i need to "verify sms center settings are correct" and it never actually re-sends the message no matter how many times i tried. this morning i get home from dialysis and flash zeros new 5.1 release to see if that fixes the issue. no dice.
*my service center number is correct as far as i know - +12063130004. (i dont know what other service center settings there are to change, if there are any, im always down to learn new things! )
*2 other contacts who are also on tmobile received messages.
*3 other contacts from different carriers also received messages.
*the same contact i had this problem with last night who is also on tmobile, still wont receive messages, even after going to 5.1
i've done some searching and don't know what else to do as far as troubleshooting goes. id like to stay with hero and not have to go back to a cupcake build to see if that works but that's what i'm considering...just as another option.
anyone have any input as to how to fix this issue? i would greatly appreciated it!
**fixed the issue** all is good now =]

Call comes up with OLI=62.... sometimes..

Hi,
Just got the verizon S8 a week ago and this has been driving me nuts. When my gf calls, her name doesn't come up. Only displays her number. My contacts are on my gmail account. All other contacts i have show up. She has an iphone and her name showed up on my old s5. Her phone is already set to display caller ID and so is mine. I spend like a few hours aday trying to troubleshoot this.. No luck whatsowever. Weird thing is, sometimes when she calls, her number appears with a ;oli=62 behind it. Example: 714-555-5555;oli=62. I googled oli (originating line information) but it makes no sense to me..
Things i've tried already:
1) resync gmail contacts
2) deleted her contact on gmail/phone/etc
3) readded her contact to phone internal storage and also gmail again
4) tried in safe mode to see if a application is blocking it
5) rebooted phone of course
6) re-adding her contact info with her data deleted from gmail
7) called verizon support
8) and last but not least.. reset/restored original s8 to factory
HELP.. i was gonna try to exchange the phone for another s8 but i really don't think that might be the issue.. i tried researching IPHONE issues with caller ID not showing up but all her settings seems correct.
Thanks in advance.
Same...
I'm having the same issue on my Note 5 after updating to Nougat. I'm having the issue with only one friend, no one else.
I found a temp fix. Go to your a computer and log into your Google contacts. Add that weird number. Example. 555-555-5555;oli=62 to the contact along with the regular number. That should fix it.

Same issue on my new s8+, adding the number plus ;oli=62 on the Google contacts via editing from your Google contacts from googles website works great, thanks for the work around. The only problem I have with these Samsung devices is the slow ass updates. Their still on 7.0 even though 7.1.2 has been released for months
Me too. I have a Note 5 on VZW. Pretty sure it started after the Nougat update as well. And also for only one contact. I know I could add those characters to the contact info, but I want to know why the heck it happens for only one contact. Found this info (not that it cleared up jack for me, lol) - https://www.dialogic.com/webhelp/IMG1010/10.5.3/WebHelp/oli_isdn_sip.htm
i have this same problem. It is on a S6 and has been happening since before the Nougat update. It only happens to me for 2 contacts 1 full time and the other off and on. If i look at the missed calls screen afterwards the phone displays the correct contact just during the incoming call is it not displaying.
the problem actually stopped for me around the time of the roll-out and then started back up a week or so later.
The only connection that i can find is that both of them use Family mobile (T-mobile) service.
Last time i researched this problem, i found the same problem a few years ago with T-mobile and VOIP phones but never found a solution
its the feds
Are you just being a douche or are you serious?

This is the same problem I'm having. I have the S8 on Verizon the two contacts whose numbers don't work are both on T-Mobile. One of the numbers it happens to constantly and has the xxx-xxx-xxxx;oli=62 while the other number does it intermittently w/o the extra's at the end.
"Me To" Bus
Ok, I'm a "Me to" I blocked all phone calls except for people in my contacts, because of all the Spam calls.
But my best friend gets blocked because of this problem.
I have a Samsung S4 Note, Also using Verizon. And google contacts.
I'm going to save him only under Verizon Contacts. And see if that does anything.
He is using a Blu Phone and also using T-Moble.
Anyone have any idea's?
Jim
my phone just started doing this when I installed a reminder ap. I uninstalled it, and it stopped. Hope this helps.
