SMS timestamp

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.

Not Receiving Text Messags

After I rooted, im not receiving any text messages. But i know i can send messages. I could also make and receive phone calls. Ive tried using a sense rom to update prl and profile which updated but still not receiving text messages. Anyone have any ideas why?

Try sending the text 'Allow all' without the parentheses to 9999

Tried. Didnt seem to have worked. any more suggestions?

If the "allow all" text didn't work, and using a sense rom to update prl/profile doesn't work - I would suggest downloading the RUU and reverting completely back to stock. See if it works then, if it does root with z4 or w/e you like and go back to the rom/nandroid you had before.
if it doesn't work call sprint or bring it in to one of their stores
Also, just wondering; you do have plenty of free space on your phone right? People seem to get really weird problems when their phone is running low on internal storage.
And do you use google voice for voicemail?
And what, if anything, did you do at or around the time it started acting up? (ie installed new apps, flashed new kernel, etc.)

Question1: Yeah i have plenty of space no apps installed.
Question2:Yeah i use google voice. but is not set up right now since i just rooted.
Question3: First noticed no messages being received when i rooted i believe.
Guess illl try to the RUU and see if that works.

Used RUU. Still not being able to receive messages. going to have to contact Sprint.

Try useing a different RUU if your going to doit again, see if that works...just a thought. Later

I have been having problems receiving texts as well ever since I installed a new ROM (this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090234) 2 days ago.
All functions seem to work fine, including outgoing text messages, but incoming do not work at all.
I had been running Cyanogen Mod 6 for about a year without any problems except speed, just wanted to try a newer and possibly faster ROM. I did have issues whenever I would get a "low space" indicator but that doesn't seem to be the case with the current issue.
I am using Google Voice for voicemail.
My service provider is Cellular South, btw, not Sprint.

Ran the RUU but still didnt work. so i updated to newest build and still didnt work. still havent had a chance to call Sprint.

Problem Solved. Since sprint merged with google my settings where changed and were set to receive text messages to google voice and not my phone. If anyone else has this problem just go to your account in google voice settings and make sure that theres a check mark next to receive text to phone. thanks to all for the help =)

That didn't work for me
Of course, I'm not on Sprint, but Cellular South. Still no joy on my end. I actually reverted back to my previous CyanogenMod via Nandroid, which WAS receiving text messages just fine, but now it doesn't work either.
I have the original Cell South 2.1 RUU I could use if necessary, but hoping not to have to do that. Looking like I might have to, though.

Finally got it up and running.
I was about to run the 2.1 RUU but then remembered I made a Nandroid backup of my 2.1 Sense-based config before the first time I rooted so I restored to it and dialed *228 to download the latest updates. The texts then started working, so then I reverted back to my Nandroid backup of my new ROM and it worked like a charm!

HTC one will not send/receive MMS on any rom after last night

Hi Guys, new user long time lurker here.
Getting to the point, my HTC One was doing amazing until I woke up this morning. It is currently running ARHD 3.2, the stock google rom and I've been loving it. I was getting mms last night, woke up in the morning and I couldn't send or receive them. I have tried everything. I wiped it, flashed it again, wiped it, then (the weirder part) restored a backup of ARHD which was the tweaked Sense rom, I believe it was 12, and I still had the same problem. i've removed APN, added them, changed them, and still nothing. Any ideas? I've also changed my messaging apps, moved to Textra, and still nothing. Logically it seems as though something has been removed or edited in my phone that causes the block, but even a restore which was from 32 days ago still cannot send mms. I'm stumped. Also I have made sure my data was on and all that stuff.
Thanks guys, I appreciate anything you can help me with.

Someone posted what sounds like the exact same thing in the Android forums but this site won't let me paste the link. Carrier is AT&T and they were stumped.

Call your service provider and ask them about it. Or test another phone that's on the same tower, if capable.

I guess ill try my parents phone. If nothing changes I'll call the provider tomorrow.
EDIT: it seems to be a tower issue since my mothers phone can't send MMS either. It's strange because it had the same problem at work, but that was only ten miles away. But in a city area. Quite frustrating.

This is the thread. Sounds similar no?

Sounds similar. I have absolutely no other issues it's just mms. internet is fine, everything is a ok.

Exact same problem with my unlocked htc one since last night. Was in multiple group chats and all of a sudden I couldn't send or receive any mms messages to or from the groups. Problem is persisting this morning. I'm in the NYC area and wondering if there are network issues. Where are you located?

Lower bergen county, near Newark Nj. seems to be trend happening here!

I've been on the phone with support for awhile now, nothing has changed on my phone, they said they reset my network when I turned it off like twice, now I can receive them but not send them.

Late update, but this happened to both my phone (Trickdroid 9) and my girl's (stock, unrooted) that night. Working now, but it was annoying as all hell.

New issue. I can now send and receive pictures! awesome! Bad news: while I am connected to wifi, I do not have anything other than minimum service, so I can only text and call! I understand that the wifi is being used, but I can't send or receive mms for example if i'm on a wifi network. is it as simple as fixing an APN? or changing it? Anything possible? Searching only gets me people who want to turn of LTE with wifi so I'm stumped!

Cannot send of receive SMS

The problem started only a few days ago when my phone suddenly stopped receiving text messages. At the time, I was running Cyanogenmod 11 on my Sprint HTC One (M7). There were no errors of any sort; any time I would attempt to send a message, the phone would say that the message sent and that was the end of it. Also, any SMS messages that were sent to me would never reach me. The strange part is that I could send and receive phone calls, had data on the Sprint network, Bluetooth worked, WLAN worked, and GPS was working. Basically, everything but SMS would work.
My first guess was that my messaging program wasn't working. However, no matter what I used (I tried Hangouts, AOSP Messenger, and Textra to equal non-effect).
At that point I figured it was an obscure issue with my ROM of choice. I decided to roll back to a previous random Sense ROM that I knew had SMS working in the past. I used TWRP v2.8.0.2 to restore this old snapshot, and I had the same symptoms.
I tried a few different popular ROMs just to see what would happen. Everything worked great except SMS.
I figured that at this point, I should just roll it back to stock. Carefully following an RUU guide, I downloaded stock firmware and the corresponding RUU. Again, everything was in perfectly working order except for SMS messages.
I confirmed that my phone was not actually registering the sent texts by dialing ##UPDATE#. According to the output of the Self Service screen before and after sending some test texts, that number does not increment.
So I'm stumped. I can't figure out what's wrong with my phone, let alone fix it. I've even taken it to the Sprint store to check if there was some obscure account problem. After a restart, they were stumped, too (I was referred to a different store that I will have to visit over the weekend).
Any ideas what I can try next? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried to update profile (and PRL)? It's a shot in the dark, but worth a shot.

I just updated my phone to 4.06.651.9. On my phone, the ##UPDATE# entry causes it to attempt a "hands-free activation" which includes resetting the profile and PRL. In the previous version, this would not run and redirected me to the Self Service screen. After the update, it actually updated the profile/PRL successfully!
This time, when returning to the Self Service screen, I see that two test texts appear to have been sent! However, the people I sent them to have yet to see them (it's been about 5 minutes). A few more test texts have been sent my way, but as before, nothing is arriving.
Is there any way to test if the SMS messages from my phone are actually reaching a Sprint cell tower?
Second Edit: Updated to 5.03.651.3 I just received a text from Sprint (I decided to have them send a username). I have sent some more test texts, but so far nothing else is happening.

Although that should have worked, that's still not the latest RUU available. Try the first link from the OP here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856

Ah, yes. I tried that at first but the firmware simply would not flash. Instead, I went to an early version that did flash and then just upgraded from there. Same behavior, so I was convinced that this was a problem on Sprint's end (I assume that an antenna failure would also cripple phone calls?)
I went to the other store as suggested and they directed me to call tech support or drop $75 on a replacement phone. I called the number, I told them the problem and what I did to try and fix it. They flipped some switch and that was it. Took maybe five minutes.

Messaging issues on T-mobile after upgrade to 5.1

Yesterday I upgraded to 5.1 by flashing the factory images (no userdata wipe). Everything is running great except messaging is all over the place (I'm on T-mobile). I never received duplicate messages on 5.0.1 and now I'm getting them constantly. Also, now when I receive MMS messages (using Google Messenger) I get the "failed to download - click to retry" crap all the time that fails to download. Again, this never happened on 5.0.1.
Is anyone else seeing these issues since upgrading? Is this a T-mobile issue on the server side? Or is this something caused by me not wiping userdata (I doubt it unless it screwed with the APN, which looks normal).

I saw posts reporting this as an issue for Sprint users but I hadn't seen any for T-mobile yet. Thanks for the heads up. I'm guessing if it's widespread than it's likely an issue on the carrier side.

If I remember correctly, people were able to correct the issue by toggling off the "enhanced lte mode" in carrier settings.

I've been having this issue too any one know if toggle enhanced LTE fixes the problem ?

I turned off enhance LTE and I'm getting MMS from everyone but people on att weird

Yes!! Definitely an issue here. My MMS is all over the place. Some messages come through, others are dropping. If you try to dial "611" to connect to T-Mobile, it fails every time! Turning off enhanced LTE fixes the issue. Seems to be a carrier side problem indeed.

Exact same issues here. Also on tmobile, hoping they fix this soon.

Also have been getting duplicates and texts all over. Really hope its a server issue and not 5.1

Very sick of this error. I send double texts and get quadruple back. Stock unrooted 5.1 userdata wiped via fastboot.

Everyone, please comment on this bug report I filed with Google. This will help give us an answer.

Forget suggestion just delayed it

T-Mobile was having issues yesterday. This was not Nexus 6 specific

I'm having the same issue to. I call 611 and it just says call ended. I also noticed my LTE signal is better however the speeds are horrible. I'm getting 3-5mbps where before 5.1 I was getting 15-20 mbps.

Well, I did Google searches yesterday when this was occurring for me and saw plenty of reports, including the Apple forums, lol. I wasn't able to receive text messages for hours after I was receiving duplicate for hours. Later in the evening I suddenly got over 30 texts that had been sent to me throughout the day. My fiance had the same issue on her moto x. Her parents had the same issues on their gs5s and had this weird Nokia message handling error when receiving MMS.
