Is anyone else getting really annoyed by the fact that you can't tell what time you received a text on the previous day? Whatever way you try to look at it, it just says "Yesterday"!!
The date IS in the database.
Am I missing something really simple here?
Yes it's very annoying, especially when you check just after midnight and you have no idea when your most recent texts were sent / received.
Maybe a fix will be released, who knows.

This is why I moved to Handcent
I don't want to rock the boat with any other SMS software yet. I've only just got the missing SMS problem resolved!

Just a quick question people...
If text messages are delayed for whatever reason when they arrive on the xda the time and date is current. I'm pretty certain that on my old nokia phone it held the date and time that the text message was sent.
Just helps to know how old the text message is.
Anyone else noticed?
Anyway to fix it?
Cheers

Mine is also the same the one thing u can do is refresh the screen every 10 sec. so the sms wont be delayed......and about the time....it think there is no patch or fix for this problem for now.....
If there is a fix.....ANYONE?
:wink:
same here
I know what you mean.
If you have the phone part switched off for whatever reason. Then you get a couple of text messages all with the current time. Probably sent the night before!
The XDA is a great idea, but led down with lots of little flaws.
Would this flaw be another pocket Outlook problem? If I recall correctly then, outlook grabs the SMS before the actual SIM can handle them, Mmmm thoughts...
Martin
If the sms is handled by outlook then perhaps a tweak can be created? Will need a bit more investigation methinks
Cheers fellas.

Hey,
Has anyone have their vibrant send a text to a random contact?
Some times while I'm have a text conversation, the contact image will change to someone else. And then my texts from that point on is sent to the contact whose pic is showing. So if I'm texting John, I send a reply to his text. But all of a sudden the picture is Sarah. And even though the number showing is Johns, the text are being sent to Sarah.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Happens to me sometimes
It has happened to me twice, with two different Vibrants, but I have exchanged them both. I am on the third one now and has not happened yet... easy fix, just delete both threads of texts "Sarah" and "John" and it will all be back to normal
by the way, this is not why I exchanged the phones, I had some email issues, but happened on both phones
Ok,
I just wanted to make sure it wasn't just me. It has happened to me twice so far.
Happened to me.
This'll go over great when, meaning to text my wife, I send something like "Let's bone tonight!" and it goes to some random female friend. Yeah, let's hope this fix is in the coming update.

LoL Happened to me a couple of times...Sent a message meant for my girlfriend to a friend of mine that I had also been talking to that night...lets just say he wasn't too interested in the activities I had planned for us that night.
Like posted before just clear your messages and it shouldn't happen as much. It's a pain but hopefully that's something that gets fixed in the upcoming update.
This sounds vaguely familiar - I remember hearing about this on the Nexus One:
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=345259e6d424bad3&hl=en
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735471&page=2
Apparently it's still going on even in Froyo. I have never personally experienced this. Also read here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1233
There is some speculation that the corruption begins after receiving an incoming MMS from certain services such as Bank of America's online banking alerts.
Has happened to me more times than I can remember. Makes things interesting of course, but yes def has been happening.
Just a thought - there is an app called SMS Backup/Restore which can index all your messages into an XML file. It skips MMS but this is ok because I rarely receive them.
So if you are experiencing wrong recipients, try taking a full XML backup using this app, and then clear your SMS logs. Restore them back and see if the messages are back under the right threads, and see how long it takes to get the error again.
+1 for me as well...
I've had a similar issue but not exactly the same. I will receive a text from someone and press to reply and it opens a text box with the recipient being someone different than the one I am meaning to reply to. I have caught it both times and have yet to send out a bad text to someone, but it is annoying that you have to be that careful with something that has worked perfectly on phones that are $20 phones... shouldn't happen.
Hello and thank you for taking he time to read this.I own a Motorola Photon with Android 2.3.4 as my operating sytem. Since the latest update, I have been having issues with my text messaging. Its strange as how it happens but what the totality of my issue is that when I reply to individuals I send text messages too ,other individuals would receive my text message that I did not reply to. For example:
Contact A sends me a text message "Hello how are you doing?" and Contact B send me a text message " Bring milk on your way home". Now, when I respond back to Contact A by saying "Im fine thank you and how have you been?, Contact B will receive the text message that was meant for Contact A.This seems to occur almost on a daily basis. Is there more folks out there that is having this same issue? And if so, please let me know what I would need to do to resolve this matter. I did update profile and I did have sprint talk a look at it but they are claiming its MOTOTROLAs/Android issues and that I will have to wait for them to push a fix.
Also, I am not using any 3rd party text app or have a rooted phone. Im using the standard MOTOBLUR launcher! I was using the standard motorola messaging app and had the problem as I described to which I started using the GO Messaging app which had the same issues and errors.I am back using the motorola messaging app.
Please let me know if there is a fix for this problem or if there are different alernatives that I can do to avoid this problem.I have been in contact with Nick, [email protected], who has stated that that a fix was sent out regarding this but I am .....I am still constantly having the text messaging issues and its causing a major problem where I'm always second guessing as to whom I'm replying to in my messages. Please let me know if there is going to be a major fix or a software update for this problem?
Please provide some type of feedback!
Thank you again for your time!
I do not have this problem on my Photon, but I did on my Evo for a minute. Twice in a month I happen to approach my mother with sexual comments!!!!
More or less, I cleaned up and deleted all my text messages. Here is what 'I' think the problem was. Lets say I know a girl name Lori and we text all the time. I did not have 30 text from her over a month, I had 1 text with 500 replies in it!!! Take the above and times it by 80+ people............
Saved them and deleted them all. Have not had the problem since! (Come to think of it, it was November 2010. I was joking with a friend over thanksgiving day sexual "Treat", my mother called me with "Excuse me?" and repeted what I had typed to the friend. I looked at text message and it was addressed to friend, but somehow..........anyway, that is how I fixed it!
---------- Post added at 04:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:51 PM ----------
I wanted to come back here and address this, although my last post is true and may seem funny, looking at the BIG picture, it was not and a very serious issue. What did or did not my boss receive? The girl that I REALLY liked, what did she receive? If my daughter asked me for money and I replied "Sure, I'll send you $50.00?", who did it go to?
After my mother's call, my mind was a wreck for 3 or 4 days thinking of what I sent and who received what.
If they are THAT important to you, get Titanium Backup and save them. Then blow them away weekly or so. I keep one screen of text messages, no need to scroll.
+1 To the suggestion above. I also had this problem occasionally on my old HTC Hero and I'm pretty sure when I would delete a bunch of threads and clean out all the text messages stored in the phone, this issue went away. Still an annoying problem though and it would be nice if it never happened.
As for backing up SMS/MMS messages, I recommend a simple Free app from the Market called "SMS Backup & Restore". It makes saving/backing up texts very easy -- just 2 or 3 touches of your screen, and it puts them all in a single .xml file that can easily be pulled off your phone or card via USB, emailed to yourself, etc.
Titanium Backup Pro. PERIOD!!! $6.58 and worth ever cent!!!
EDIT: I backup every 3:00AM Monday, then every few weeks move the backup to Desktop AND my 16Gb USB on my keychain!
Sort of bringing back an old thread, but my texts are not coming through any more. I can send them, but I dont get any. I do get mms. My wife, who is sitting right next to me, gets them and sends them, so I don't think it is Sprint. Might be a Sprint/Android thing though because she has a blackberry. Its been two days without a text and I normally do 20-50 texts a day.
I am stock rooted and using the stock messaging app. Nothing has changed from 2 days ago with the problem started. I've tried rebooting, roaming, and home only.
Any ideas?

Read back in this thread and you will find your answer. As I use my phone more and more, I still find the need to clean up worthless text to clear s**t up! Pandora lags, ZumoCast stutters, Facebook crashes. I blow away 60 to 80 text, problem solved!

Yeah, I deleted all my texts messages that I had stored. Still have not received a text, but I do get mms still. Tried updating PRL and Profile. Tried rebooting several times.... Still nothing.
Try sending yourself a text message. Sometimes I get a bunch that haven't come through by doing that. Also, install Google Voice as it will get messages too sometimes even if they don't make it to your sms app

I have question about security. I have to know what options are there to find out sms conversation. I use Handcent sms in which I use privacy box with one person to determine that noone else except me would know what we are texting about. But one thing happened. Third person know what exactly we are texting about, even if I constantly deleted sms everyday. I can't imagine the way how he find out this.
I study software development so about security I know something. I know that handcent saves database of sms even if they are deleted or not. I used sqlite to find out what is exactly in the db and find out, that this is not right way how he find out. I also find out that in handcent autobackup option was checked, but noticed that when you delete sms, backup file changed and there were only sms i intented to be there. I also tried antivirus programs to find out if there is some kind of malware or trojan, nothing found.
So my question is: what options of finding out sms conversation are there? Even if third person can access mentioned mobile phone or not?
I will appreciate any good advice

Was it a known person? Or a random person? If he was a friend/person you know, then he either heard through the grape vine or got your phone or the person you were textings phone. I dont think there is a way to "hack" your phone from a computer and view the texts you sent. Unless he got them from your carrier.

Yes, it was person we both know. He had access to the phone, but with deleted sms with no backup.. It's possible to get this informartion through mobile operator?

Yes it is but would need to go through tones of red tape and have to be a Cop of some kind.
Most likely it was who ever you were texting. There are also other ways that it could happen. Apps that forward all texts to another number used to be a big one back in windows mobile days. Not sure if there is an app like that for android

It's probably the problem that this person has a friend which works for vodafone which this phone uses. Forwarding all texts is not possible i think, because this person would catch up on this earlier..

There used to be an app that could be installed that did all this with the user even knowing about it. Once installed it was hidden away and it never showed that the messages would be forwarded. It was a proof of concept app that someone made for learning. If they had someone working for the company it would have to be a higher up to have access to the cached data bases the company keeps which are encrypted.
I have a feeling the OP was ratted out by the one they were texting.

Ok, thank you for your advice. So if there is hidden app registered as service it can be seen through logcat when I intent to send sms, am I right?
About the company, this person works here on higher places, dont realy know what is his position some kind of IT specialist, gonna investigate this..

My net must of gone retarded. and double posted sorry..
You might want to check out Whatsapp's FAQ pages. I'm sure they'll have something related to this error. Many other people have experienced this. Maybe it's just one of their server errors.

Yeah it didn't help i was on the whatsapp website for hours. Looking at FAQ's. Related Problems etc. I checked my connection's i can make calls and receive calls. Also can send and receive text messages. I checked to see if my roaming was off. I manually selected Vodafone UK. Requested Vodafone settings from Vodafone. I tried to use my mobile internet then my wifi.
I guess i will have to wait it out. It just sucks that all my mates are complaining that i have not been on all day etc.. And my gf and i are having to resort to using ****y kik messenger lol.. I hate texting i just don't know why.. But do like using messengers just feels better and you can backup your convo's easily..
Yeah.. I can understand. It sucks when WhatsApp gives trouble.
You can contact them and ask for a direct solution if it still doesn't work.
