[Q] SMS Timestamp Issue - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm running CM7 RC0.6 on my Thunderbolt with the 1.16.00.0223r baseband.
The problem i'm having is that my incoming texts have an inconsistent timestamp. I can be getting texts from somebody and have the time be correct, then every few texts the timestamp will be an hour ahead.
Thanks for any help you can give.

Weird.. thought this was only a sense GB related issue..
Download SMS Time Fix from the market, and make sure it is enabled.
You're fixed

The problem is that it isn't always an hour ahead. Sometimes the message is on time, then I'll be an hour ahead the next time.

On the BAMF Sense ROMs, I can use SMS Time Fix and then select "Use phone's time" as the manual override to the timestamp. It works every time for me.

when i was on my incredible i used sms timefix and it got so annoying i just wipedx3 and reflashed and i was okay again.

SMS messages don't send sometimes

A couple of times a day when I am trying to send a SMS message, It says "Message not sent".
I then retry to send the message and it sends successfully.
It is quite annoying that this happens. Does anyone else have the same issue?

It's network dependent. The issue is not with your phone. If you are with AT&T (like I am) then, it is very normal. I would not worry about it too much.
Happens to me when I get poor signal. If your phone's getting poor signal when it shouldn't, then you have a problem.

Yeah, it's very normal when a message is coming in and you are trying to send one out at the same time.

likewise
It should be a option to try to automatic resend a SMS that fails. Lets say the phone waits 1 min and then try to resend. If it fails the phone should make a popup with Q for us how to do...

[Q] I'm Not Receiving MMS Messages

Ok, I've been searching the forums for a few days looking for an answer to this but have been unable to find one. I'm running a rooted X2 with the V6 script and for the past week or so my phone has been weird. I'll get MMS messages one day from one sender and they'll try the next day and it'll never go through, I'm getting this problem from all carriers. I use Handcent but for a few days I uninstalled it and used only the stock text messaging app and still had the same problems. I also, at times will not receive any notification at all that I have an SMS and then when I check my phone I'll have duplicate messages from numerous all come in at once when they've only sent the message one time. So far, the things I've tried are battery pulls, updating roaming capabilities, turning the V6 script off, and using different messaging apps and have been unsuccessful. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
There is an ongoing issue with SMS/Kmart messages in another thread. Probably a good idea to merge them. You've tried all the suggestions I would give.

[Q] Sending SMS's over 160 chars

Hi all,
My question relates to sending texts over 160 characters. It works sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't.
I'm on the latest teamhacksung 6.1 version of ICS with default kernel. My modem is ED05.
Sometimes I'll send texts that would be 2, 3, or 4 pages and it gets through just fine. Other times, I'll send a 2 page text to the same recipient and it bounces back with a red triangle (standard messaging app).
Does anyone have this experience, and any suggestions to fix it?

I use ec09 modem and haven't had this problem and I send long texts all the time. Try eh03 or ec09 modem and it should help. I'm not going to promise that it'll fix, but its worth a shot.

You can try a different radio, but a workaround that works 100% of the time is going into the messaging app > settings then check "SMS split". It'll automatically split your long texts into multiple messages, and while I'd like it if longer texts just worked every time, this is at least a decent workaround.
Thanks. I appreciate the reply. I know SMS split works, but I'm just curious if my issue occurs for everyone else =)
I've never had problems with the eh03 radio so if you would like to give it a go, here is the eh03 odin file

I was curious about this too, since I wasn't sure if it was just me but it seems to be a pretty widespread issue.
Different radios do nothing for me as far as this issue goes.

Text Message Reply Above Mine

Whenever I send a text and I get a response, the response is showing above my original text. This happens if the text was sent in the same minute. Anyone else having this problem?
Picture in link below:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/05e6hu02ydmugqw/export_02-1.jpg
I typed the blue first, then the reply came in white but it shows it coming before my initial text.
i had that problem before idk it just corrected itself but if its a big problem i would just use gosms its pretty good
It happens. I wouldn't be to concerned about since the times are so close together. I'm guessing time discrepancy with text servers. Maybe...
But to make you feel better, I've experienced it but usually within a minute if it's a quick reply.
are you messaging someone who has a iphone? This happens to me all the time with my friends and their iphone 4's
Yes I am messaging someone with an iPhone but it happens with non-iPhones too. I am worried about it because it is not supposed to be that way and when you pay a decent amount of money on a phone you expect that simple thing to work.
I'm curious if it has to do with the time. I found that for some reason my clock wasn't auto updating with the network. I have switched it over and will be testing here shortly.
It has everything to do with the phones local time - it uses your phone to stamp outgoing messages, and the network stamps the time on incoming messages. If your phone is running fast, then incoming messages would appear to arrive before the original message (to the phone anyway).
Enabling auto update of time / date should fix it, I was going to suggest that until I saw you were already planning on trying it
Had this happen once check your time and region settings. Mine was off by an hour

I've had this happen on my Captivate and my SII as well. Seems to be a network problem perhaps. If you're rooted, I highly recommend ClockSync. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.org.amip.ClockSync&hl=en

SMS issues- Is it Sprint or my Evo??

My phones sms is all borked out. Phone is completely stock, unrootedx with the latest ota update.
My sms are ALWAYS timestamped wrong which seriously ****s with my ocd. Sent will he fine but received are always hours behind or ahead.
Also lately, phone won't send me my sms all day and then bam!! 12 messages all at once.
I have fine reception, never roaming, full bars of 3G almost always. What gives???

Are you using the AirRave (network extender) while at home? I am, and its been messing with my text messages since I switched to sprint. Doesn't matter which phone (OG Evo, Evo lte, Epic). Time stamps are screwy, duplicates sent, and sometimes it cuts the 1st half of my message off which makes my texts look like I'm crazy... lol... Only happens when I'm connected to the AirRave at home though...
I've had this sort of thing happen to me two or three times over the last 5+ years with Sprint. It was incredibly irritating, but it did go away on it's own after about two days. If it's happening to you for longer than that... I'd be concerned. And to second the above post, if you're using an Airave, all bets are off when it comes to text messages. I'm currently a month into back and forth phone calls to Sprint about getting mine replaced to see if that fixes my sms issue.
Use ICS tranquility and your timestamps will NEVER be wrong.
Not using Airrave.. its been going on for about two weeks now o__o
Thanks for the tip on ics tranquility, will definitely check it out!!
maybe this will work
I had this happen to me just a couple days ago, but I was not receiving or able to send sms at all. I went into a sprint store and the rep told me he had to call in to have my text messaging codes reset. So he called in and reset it and it worked! He said you should be able to do it over the phone, just don't be on your phone, or on chat.
Sense is completely messing with my SMS messages. Mine come in under the wrong number.
If I text a lot and delete some messages, the next person to text me comes in as the last person I deleted.
In the stock SMS app I can see it come in under the wrong person then quickly change to the right.
If I use Chomp or Go SMS Pro, it stays under the wrong person unless I kill the app and restart it. My texts are constantly going to the wrong people, and to my friends Facebook posts.
I've had this problem with every build thus far. I've wiped, RUU'd...still does it.
My friend is running Meanrom, it does it on his. Doesn't seem to do it on ROMs without Sense.
Someone else has to have noticed this.
I've never had any of this happen, nor have I ever heard of the texts messages being labeled as coming from the wrong contact. If it happens with other messaging apps, why do you think it's sense?

In my original post I said it happens with the stock app.
Its more of a problem with third party apps because they don't work the same way the stock app does. So when the message is displayed wrong for that brief second it grabs that. If I kill and restart third party app, the message changes back to the right person.
The reason I think its sense is because sense handles the messaging on these phones, and the problem cannot be replicated on a senseless rom. I can duplicate this problem on a rooted phone with meanrom. What are the odds chomp sms and go sms pro would have the exact same bug? Both of them rely on the core sms framework for data, so whatever is messing with them is happening in core. I've got a post about this over at sprint and it seems to be picking up a little steam. A fee more people.are crawling out of the woodwork with this problem.
if handcent is that third party app u using it will always do it .something is wrong with that app .use go sms
