[Q] How to correct time stamp in messages - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought a bell sgs2 and unlocked it to use with rogers. Now my time stamps for texts are all wrong. The ones i sent are right times but the ones i receive are 5 hours late.
Example: i get the message at 10:00pm but it shows the message was received at 5:00pm
Any fix to this? Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I have the same issue. The only solution I know is to download the Rogers SMS app from the Market. It will automatically correct the time for you.

Phone is sending 2 Text messages everytime !

:?
My XDA appears to be sending two copies of a text message when I send it.
I'm running Radio 4.21.00 CE 4.01.00 on an O2 device, i've been through all the menus I can think of but can't see anything...
Could it be something to do with having / not having +44 infront of the phone number i'm sending to.??
Cheers

I had this happen to me just around Christmas time (about 3 days after I had the phone), anyone I sent messages to received 2, 3 or even 4 messages.
I contacted my provider and they said this can happen when the network is very busy (I thought it would be dropping them), but low and behold after the XMas period was over it all come back to normal.
I don't think I was actually sending 2 messages as I would only get one "Message Sent" notification come up, and only one delivery cofirmation received back.
If this is your experience then it is the network, if the problem is otherwise, sorry I can't be of anymore help
ive also had this running v4,21 radio and v4,01.00 tmobile s/w had it on v4.00.05 too i could send to most of my mates it would go blub messege sent only 1 credit taking.......
then for some reason only one my my mates numbers it takes about 3 x credit says balance is blar blar then again and again then all of a sudden messege sent. they are on o2 and so am i but she doesnt seem to receive them :\ this is only say like 5-10 caharacters long in the message so way under 1 text but i dont understand what the hell its upto yet all my other mates ones work fine :\ :?:
yes...same problem
Im using 4.00.005 with radio (listed below) and got same problem, when i send sms message to someone it recieves 2 or even 3 copies... i dont think network is so busy to send them twice or 3 .... maybe some fix ? or WM2003 error? HELP!
Monika u got this problem too?
Anyone managed to find a fix for this, or figure out why it could be happening ??
I hard reset last night to try and resolve the problem, but everyone is still getting two copies of any text messages i send them :roll:
Cheers

Ok, I may have found a work around for this..
It seems to send two copies when I tap "send" then tap the "X" before I have got the "message sent" popup.
If I wait until that pop's up then click the "X" it only seems to send one copy..
Are you guys that were having problems using any software that makes "X" actually close rather than minimize ??
(I'm using PocketPlus)
Cheers
Neil
i use pocke tplus too but i dont close it or nothing.... i just hit send it got blip chows credit blip shows credit again blip shows credit then message box saying message sent but it cost me like 30p for one bluddy text :\

Text Messaging Time Stamp

I'm having a problem with the time stamps in the messaging app.
If I send out a message at 3pm then the time stamp comes up as 3pm. However whenever I receive a message its always 4 hours behind.
Anyone know how to fix this?
do a search for sms timestamp to find the solution (common problem depending on what carrier you use)
i wonder if this can be easily fixed now with the unlocked bootloader
Still having this issue..Anyone know how to fix it?

SMS/Text Message Issue/Bug

I have the Samsung Galaxy S II from Bell Mobility in Canada (Model GT I9100M) and for some reason, when I send a text message to someone (been happening in the last half hour), its displayed on the top. Meaning lets say someone texts me "hi, how are you?" and I reply "not bad", my message should be under the theirs right? Its not, its on top and any message I send goes on top of their messages. So basically my messages are grouped in the top and their on the bottom.
Thoughts?
Download SMS Time Fix from marketplace and reboot. It should fix the SMS time stamp. It did for me and I'm using Bell Samsung GS2 too unlocked to Rogers.

Thanks for the tip! Also, when I send a new message to a new number, it goes to the bottom of the list. So the older convo with a contact is at top first, then the newer contacts in the bottom. I assume the fix will correct that right?
Edit: No luck at all
Its a known issue, even on mg Sensation. Try Handcent SMS.. Been using it for years now on multiple devices.

So it has to do with the network I assume on Bell's end? I haven't had this problem on my Atrix or previous Bell Android devices. Ya I might as well just install handcent.

Texting Issue with Galaxy S2

Hi all, I have a texting issue with my new Galaxy S2, it is rooted and unlocked. It texts fine but when I receive messages like 1min or any minute after my last text to that person, their text time is shown as an hour before my time.
For instance I text my girlfriend at 10:00pm, she replies at 10:01pm in the next, on my phone I would receive her text as 9:01pm and it always shows above the balloon of my last text. This is annoying because, I know they replied but I have to scroll up to see the last response.
Any idea what I can do to fix this?
Thanks in advance,
Afrowookie
Is she in a different time zone as that's usually why it does that. CyanogenMod included a GMT offset based on the senders time. Does this only happen with your new phone or it happened with the old one too?
HOWEVER, i should say that I don't get that issue. My gf just went to Germany and she text me when she landed and it shows up with the propery timing. So her phones shows stuff correctly? Maybe it's the message center she's using still on old time (never udpated it's time for the time change).
we are in the same time zone. I had the phone set to Atlantic time -4:00 GMT. But I just set it to Automatic(Use network provided values) but now it says Atlantic Daylight savings time -3:00GMT, but it seems to be working now.
Thanks

[Q] Text message timestamp fix

Hi,
I just bought the samsung galaxy s2 from bell canada. I rooted it by flashing a different kernel here on XDA.
The timing of my messages received seem to be messed up. The time I send the message is displayed correctly but the time when I receieve a text message is 4 hours earlier than when it was actually recieved.
For example, it's 7:23pm here in Canada. When I receive a text message, the time received shows up as 3:23pm (4 hours earlier).
Is there any fix for it? Please help
Thanks
Flash XXKI3. It was fixed a while ago in KG6 I think but you may as well go with the latest leaked build.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
If you want to stay with the stock firmware, download an app called "time stamp fix" from the market.
