[Q] Cognition v2.3b6 SMS Order Problem

I have a rooted i896 running Cognition v2.3b6. Now by default, when I used the sms app, the time listed for text messages that i receive are 5 hours in the past (at 945pm i received an sms, but the time listed under the text was 445). Because when I my text messages that are sent with the proper time, so in the text message thread my text messages are always first and my recipients texts appear always before in the thread.
I what I didnt was I changed my time zone to account for the 5 hour gap.
So after I did this, most of the text message appear in order except for messages that are sent/received in the same minute. For texts send during the same minute, my sent always appear after even if it is sent before.
I read on these forums that this is a problem with time stamping of the text from the carrier or something, but there was not explanation on how to fix this.
Is anyone else having this problem and found out a way to fix it?

You can download an app called "Sms Time Fix" and put it to adjust by 5 hours. You can also download "Handcent" or another 3rd party messaging app and the time will be correct.

I had a very similar problem. After i got my phone unbricked and loaded the latest version of cognition onto the phone the timestanps were five hours off. I am now using handcent and have no probles whatsoever with the timestamps.
Don't forget to go into tibu and "freeze" your original sms program that came stock with the phone.

[Q] When I click on SMS notification, that SMS gets destroyed instantly

Hi there
I have I9000 international 8gb with JS3 firmware, JPY modem, JS3 CSC set on XEN.
I don't have any 3rd party sms apps installed. It's Samsung messaging. No facebook/twitter integration.
I have SMS Backup+ installed, the only sms related app I use.
I never experienced this with other previous firmwares. Ever.
When I receive an sms (which is completely random)
1) I hear notification, I see notification on screen with Samsung puzzle lockscreen indicating 1 sms
2) I swipe puzzle thing OR I unlock screen
3) I get to see SENDER of the SMS as an SMS THREAD for like 500ms then it dissappears! It's just a flash of "John Doe ---" and BAM! it goes away.
4) Other messages do not get affected.
5) If the message sent into a previous thread, it still gets dissappered but the previous thread messages stay.
I know there are many SMS bug hypes going on Google code, etc, but I can't find information about this specific one.
Please help me, I'm going nuts!

Yes this is the exact reason why. It's about time to delete your messages and start over. You can also set message limits in the message settings.
I set mine to:
Text message limit - 500 messages per conversation
Multimedia message limit - 20 messages per conversation
And usually this works perfectly for me. No lag at all when entering the message app.

I have mine set to 450 for text and 20 for MMS. And i only have lag since copying my messages over to 2.2. I had no problem on 2.1 with the exact same number of messages.

Automatic forwarding sms on TAB

Hello , I heaving problems with automatic sms forwarding from my TAB , I tried many apps that can do that but I don't understand why they don't working on TAB ?
I receive sms on my second phone,Galaxy S, and with sms forwarder I'm regularly receiving sms on my TAB , but when I want to use same apps in opposite direction that doesn't work
Those anyone heaving similar problems ? I tried 5-6 apps on the market, on Galaxy S they all working fine but on Tab none of these apps not working.. I tried two-three different ROMS, also STOCK
Any help? Thank you all for your time!

Sorry, the problem is with GO sms application, with default sms app everything working fine

@Emrax - You're correct, Go SMS does not coexist nicely with other apps that also need to see incoming SMS'. I assume you have Go SMS installed on your Tab.
The one exception - our app PhoneLeash that does SMS forwarding (with capability to reply) and many others (locate phone, missed calls). More details here and at www.gearandroid.com

[Q] long text messages automatically converting to mms

whenever i copy paste text from browser of more than 160 characters to text someone, the message automatically converts to an MMS. is there anyway to stop this? i want to send long text messages. if i type manually i'm able to send long messages. trouble only while copy pasting from clipboard (browsers).
thank you.

I'd love to get rid of that as well...

i found that the stock app cannot do it. need to go for third party apps like go sms pro or handcent..

Had the same problem on my Dell Streak running Froyo ... Same problem on Note and Gingerbread ... I dumped the stock messaging and moved to Chomp SMS and now Handcent SMS ... No problems in either app and I sometimes send rather long texts

If you do fancy changing your SMS app go to the Play Store and search BigSMS. It simply allows you to send huge texts.

Great. So i've probably been running up MMS costs unknowingly. Ridiculous. Should send Samsung the bill.
