Been on quite a few roms, and always seem to run into the same problem. Every once in awhile the timestamp for incoming messages is behind by 5 hrs. I have tried the sms time fix and still the same issue. Its not a huge deal but it does get annoying trying to find my most recent msg when i get it lol.
I'm on Rogers btw.
I've heard this from a few Canadian users, seems that its because there is no Canadian locale in those roms, try "effin eh" by trussello a fellow neighbor to the north, that should have the locale settings in it to prevent that from happening.
Thats what I was thinking, just trying a few different ones right now to see how often it happens with each

hi all,
I text a lot with a person from a different timezone (they are GMT, I am GMT+1) and the messages I recieve have the timestamp of the originating timezone instead of mine... this has happened on a WM5 device (ipaq) as well as my new tytnII, but wasn't happening on other phones (SonyEricsson K750 and M600 (which is Symbian))
it doesn't annoy me as such, as much as it bothers advanced messaging programs... I've tried 3 different threaded SMS applications and they all get very confused by it
has anyone come across this problem before? any known solutions?
thank you!!
Don't know about you, but this quirk annoys ME very much.
It causes my text messages NOT to sort properly by Received date.
(I'm in south east Asia, receiving text messages out of New York and Zurich).
Try PocketCM. The smsintercept.dll rewrites the timestamp to when it was received. Although it doesn't always work.
I tried pocketcm (do I need to do something special with it or just have it installed?) and nothing happened
my normal sms notify still comes up tho, it just shows pocketcm under it
What version did you try?
the one offered for download? 0.18?
Dunno. Works for me.
I am having the same issue, very very annoying, especially when texting people in 2 different timezones, keep having to scroll to the top and back down again!!
I tried PocketCM, but that doesn't change the received time, and its threaded messages (looks great btw), get screwed up by the confused timezones.
Surely there must be a way for pocket outlook to sort by received rather than sent, seeing as nearly every other phone out there doesn't have this issue!
Nobody have any ideas on how to 'fix' this?
I used to be annoyed with my old phone (SE M600 (symbian)) that used "recieved" time to sort the messages (meaning delays and turning off the phone messes up the time)... I'd gladly go back to being annoyed with that instead of this...
can anyone hack together a solution for this?
I'm offering a bounty of 50$ to the person who posts a solution for this
thanks!
Hi Guys,
I've been searching and searching and I cant find anyone with the same problem as me, on WP7 or HD7. Basically the times are completely wack on the text messages i receive. The could be a few hours behind, or usually entire days behind, and my personal favorite, from the future.
No idea what's going on. Everything seems fine in the settings - been over them 100 times. I've seen it as being a common issue with some older phones, but nothing on the latest ones.
Has anyone had this? Or even better, does anyone know how to fix it? The text messages that I send are stamped correctly, so it's just the ones i receive. It looks like the phone is using the time sent from the carrier, and then applying some wacky timezone to it based off my timezone (which is Auckland, New Zealand).
Help!
Do you guys have issues with sometimes not receiving a text?
I have an HD7 with Tmobile USA
and I've had ppl saying they text
me yet they never did
At first i thought it was just lies that
guys tell but i've gotten the same
story for certain friends.
Just wanted to know if it is isolated
or if someone else was having the
trouble i am
Check the number in messaging settings and make sure you haven't changed it, otherwise I can't think of any other reason, assuming you have not added message blocking or some other feature that limits usage
maybe a network issue in your area. I would talk to t-mobile about it and they can check it out.
I haven't had any problems with texts.
The odd thing is that I have had a vibrant, g2, and mytouch 4g with Tmobile in th same area and those never had an issue
tj
It seems like it only happens like 20% of the time but i feel bad for fussing at ppl for not texting back when it is my phone
and i've noticed this is on both HD7
But it is not a MAJOR problem...just a minor annoyance
lol and i refuse to call tmobile's customer service until next month. I finally can transfer to postpaid instead of being on flexpay aka hell. Trying to explain a problem to them is murder. The language barrier alone will make this whole situation worse...
Another issue that pops up
I decided to use the feature of sms confirmation to let me know when it is sent to the users i send the text or pic mail to(which is annoying) because if i send my usual 1,000-2000 msg daily i will get the same amount of texts from my phone telling me that it has sent the text to the recipient.
Anyway, a new issue pops up that when i send a text, it will say it can't be sent and it will resend later. Even if i have full service, it sends me the message and i literally can't text anyone
then after about 10-15 minutes, it will send it automatically with no issues then sporadically pop back up.
This is shocking because i really have had no issues with WP7 or my hd7 aside from this and now randomly that pink hue on the camera started appearing
the pink on camera seems to be fixed with the ..10u.. rom for a lot of people
i can't say anything on the sms delivery reports, but i know tmo on the east should have way better reception than west
missing texts
I have T-mobile as well. My HD2 would drop most inbound texts. I had to do a hard reset to get it to start working reliably again.
Haven't had the issue since I switched to the HD7.
It is working great now. Idk what was going on with my phone.
I'm extremely frustrated that such a basic feature (sms and calling) can be stuffed up so much. Sometimes i will only get sms from a while back if i send that same person an sms.
I get people telling me it's gingerbread and others saying it's radios. I have tried everything, different radios, some are worse then others but the problem remains.
No it's not my provider, i never had this problem on my old nokia. It's either android, htc or both.
Is someone able to give me a straight solution to this problem, because atm people seem to be guessing and im slowly regretting buying an android. Something in the ROM?
If anyone with knowledge as to why it happens or any solutions i would GREATLY appreciate your help and so would other people on here. It seems that only a handful of us on here complain about this problem, and i just can't figure out why some people it works perfect and no problems and others have this stupid problem.
I'm currently on 6.03.03 radio from 405.1 ruu.
Does anyone have an answer?
Still happens, but not as often.
Ok everyone figured I'd come here to where the experts live. Haven't been here in awhile.
Recently my S8, wifes S8, and our sons S8+ all have the same issues.
The first issue is texts get stuck "sending". This happens with WiFi on or off, with wifi calling on or off, and I even tried changing off LTE to just 4G/3G/2G and even 2g in settings to see if that would help. I'm on the latest firmware from TMO ending in QEF, well we all are.
The other one is apps like FB and others aren't alerting but they will show the number of alerts even after they've been checked. I've reinstalled these apps and the problem persists, and then I can reboot my phone or wifes phone and all the alerts start working again for awhile and then die eventually.
The texting issue though persists and is random when it will hang and when it doesn't.
According to TMO rep at the store it's a bug in the firmware with bixpy that was pushed out, but I frankly don't buy it and figured I'd hit the guru's up here and see if you guys have any thoughts.
Thanks in advance guys and gals....
I too have had the random "texts get stuck sending" issue. I haven't had it in a while though (now that I've said that I'm sure I will).
I unfortunately don't have any suggestions.
I ended up using googles version of messages due to this. Only on stock text app do i have any problems anymore. I also noticed on the stock app that my phone would say "sending" when the other side would actually get it, but it was at random.
You don't have a cellspot repeater or router do you? Last time I had it, my device was hung and needed reboots. Just a thought.
Thanks for the feedback, yes I have a cell spot, but I also have the issue other areas of town too with no real specific place thatbit always happens.
I'm going to reverse back from the qef firmware and see if that resolves things. This has been so annoying, and it just started about two weeks ago.
Thanks again everyone.
I have had the same issue with sending texts too. I have been using the stock messenger app. I may just switch to textra.
Same issue here. A temporary fix, try turning on airplane mode and off. Works for me a times
Also happening to me on the XAA firmware (have unlocked NA variant) with the stock messaging and Google messages.
So I'll ask the question begging to be asked (at least by me): How does one disable this messaging app and use "stock messaging" app?
Thanks in advance....

Just get a app disabler for Samsung from play store like BK Disabler.
If I were you, just download Android Messages. It's simple and fast.
However, I do not recommend disabling stock messaging, unless you don't like getting EAS (Amber/Weather/Presidential Alert)
Having the exact same issues and it's driving me crazy because I really like this phone. I don't get notifications for any of my apps but when I open them I can see the new messages. A reset seems to fix the problem but it only lasts about an hour before it starts doing the same thing. I've tried using different messaging apps but the same thing. And the fact that I don't get notifications for other apps it can't just be a text messaging issue right?
Happened to me for almost 2 months but haven't had an issue in about a week. Called t mobile, they created a ticket and said they'll be working on it. Few days after speaking to them, problem went away.
This has been happening intermitantly for me as well. It's been bad the past three days. I'm currently in coversations with T-mo's engineering team and they seem to be coming up with a bunch of dead ends. It's not a location based thing as it's been happening over a 20 mile radius in the past few days for me. Other people on T-mo network that I'm freinds with or I work with aren't having any problems. I'm wondering if just a fresh SIM card could solve it?
I have data connection although it seems a little sluggish compared to when I originally got the phone. Similar to OP I've tried all the "G's" modes, with wifi calling on, with it off, with cellular network preffered with wifi calling on and off. With Textra, with stock messaging app. I've factory reset to no avail. I've pulled and re-inserted the SIM card to no avail. This is incredibly frustrating for a flagship phone on a network where I've had no previous issues.
UPDATE: T-Mobile sent me a new SIM card and that seems to have cleared up the issues. Not sure if it just hapened to coincide with T-Mo tower fixes or anything else like that in my area but I'm back to normal operation. Anybody else experiencing this I recommend you push customer service to send you a new sim.
my husband and i are having a strange issue where we can message pictures and video clips to other people that don't have the s8, or aren't on tmobile and they'll send and receive just fine, but when we try to send to each other, the first attempt to send fails, but the second attempt goes through?
