After upgrading to WM6, every time I recieve a text message, it's off by one hour. Example: It's 12PM. I recieve a text, but the timestamp shows 1PM. I talked to AT&T well over an hour. Spoke with advanced networking, etc. All of the steps they had me try were useless. I called back today and again got no help, but instead my representative pointed their finger at HTC and said it's a software issue. "AT&T has nothing to do with it." Well I then called HTC and they had me do a couple steps. Still no results. :/ I've done everything to my knowledge to fix this is. Soft reset, hard reset, downgraded to WM5 then upgrade again, disabled automatic time update from network, reinstalled daylight savings time patch, basically everything. I originally had the Official AT&T WM6 update, but got sick of it so I downloaded the latest vp3G WM6 v3.62. And I kept the 1.54.07.00 radio version
Has anyone else experienced their texts being one hour off?
Is there a fix for it?
Thanks for any advice/info!
Sounds to me like AT&T forgot to change the daylight savings time on their servers!
I am running AT&T's official WM6 on my 8525 at the moment but I am using a T-Mobile card and have no time stamp issues.
Well I have this same problem, and have been flashing different ROMS to see if one would ignore the network timestamp. So far I have had no luck
Any ideas? I've tried everything in this thread (on PDACORNER anyways):

and have had no luck. I am about to try official WM6 ATT ROM to see what it does.

Hi, tried a search, no luck.
Tonight I did soft reset on the phone after it hung whilst I tried to make a call.
Now when it boots, I get the message:
No GSM
on the white T-Mobile screen, then two lines down, the WWE version number. Before, I think I had 3 lines of information.
When the phone boots, there is an exclaimation mark next to the Signal meter, and nothing works.
Any ideas apart from:
It's broken, return for repair?
AFAIK it has had no knocks today, and has had nothing done to it recently, no software updates etc. in the last month

Try reading this topic, it might help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36730&highlight=
as far as I know the latest rom update fixes this bug (or whatever it is)
Update Problem?
I updated to 1.20.32 Tuesday morning, reset and the system loaded with the GSM
Played around for a while, left it working for almost 2 days.
Then installed the blackberry stuff. Instantly the system is toast again, and I can no longer access the GSM (No GSM printed again).
I am wondering whether there is a blackberry bug which crashed my radio?
I put up a brief post about this in the WM6 subforum and didn't get a response. I am going to try it again here because i have still had no luck and i have completely run out of things to try, and because i think this is the right forum for it anyways.
Forgive the lengthy explanation, but i felt it would be better to be as explicit as i can with what is happening and what i have tried.
I am only trying to use a basic pop3 email account (comcast) in regular messaging. This same account worked fine on my 8525 BEFORE flashing over to WM6, and i'll explain below exactly what i did to do that. The basic problem I am having is this: The account sets up OK and downloads the messages from the server on initial setup, but it takes a VERY LONG time that time and every other time after when it goes to send/receive emails. And after the initial download it WILL NOT RECEIVE any new messages, but it will however send, albeit very slowly.
I am pretty sure that when i upgraded from WM5, i did everything correctly. I flashed SSPL 2.10 Olipro, the i flashed Radio 1.57.07.00, then i flashed to VP3G's 3.63.3
This is when the problem started. I since then flashed the ATT WM6.1 official, then a Faria Rom, then back to WM6.1 official, now finally back to the latest WM5 version (the same one that came with the phone originally). I have done a hard reset as well and that didnt fix it either. The problem has been the same ever since it started with the first upgrade flash. It hangs for a long time(every step of the send/receive process, even when disconnecting), then comes away with no new messages.
I am really at wits end for what to try to get this back up and running like it was. Losing the messaging ability is going to kill me and will eventually have to trade out to another phone if i can't resolve it.
The one thing I am recalling now that did go less than smooth during my early flashes, was that i did get some kind of a .NET Framework error, it happened on a couple of occasions actually, and gave me the option to debug or terminate and i believe that after that i upgraded to the 3.5 version and i haven't noticed that message since. I believe that the flashes went through succesfully, but i might have gotten that message after it was complete and the flash worked so i didn't pay it too much mind. I am not sure what that means so any info on if that could be linked to my problem would help.
Any suggestions or advice at all would be well appreciated at this point. Thanks very much in advance...
Hello, did you ever find a solution for that issue? I am suffering with this same behaviour...
Please help!

hi,
in my case i think the problem was really my own email server. i had too many messages and once i deleted some or all, it worked much better.
Try that and hopefully you'll get success
Hi All,
Anyone on Rogers having issues with text message timestamps being off by a few hours?
I'm in Regina and any received SMS messages are two hours ahead of my local time. Changing from automatic network time to manual time has no effect.
It looks like text messages are being sent out with Toronto local time, no matter what the receiver's location is.
It appears that this is happening to a number of users, but Rogers support is useless - suggesting hard resets and returning the 'defective' device, which of course have no effect.
See: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2859
So anyone else that is having this problem, sound off - call tech support, reply to this and the above link, and hopefully Rogers will get this fixed sooner rather than later.
Hey Skawty, I'm in Regina too!! How you liking the phone? I just picked mine up on Wednesday and loving it. Anyways back to your point, I don't think it is possible to have a correct time on SMS, I haven't had any correct timestamps on any of my phones with Rogers, so we may be SOL on this part.
in edmonton here with the same issue. picked mine up today.
I don't know if the timestamps were off on my old krzr, they could have been and i would not have noticed. However with the threading by timestamp on this phone it really makes it annoying. There had better be a fix for this soon.

Looks like a lot of people complaining. I'd think they'll fix it soon.
this helps for now... kind of

WORKAROUND (sort-of) i’ve been using chompsms instead of the the messaging program, and it seems to thread everything correctly. chomp for whatever reason puts your time stamp on the same time zone as the received, so if you are replying to a received text with EST time stamp, chomp makes yours EST as well.
works for sending too… the initial msg you send will show your proper time, the reply will in est, then when you reply it will be in eastern, threading properly. rogers still needs to fix this though!
Hey, i imported the Tmobile G1 a couple months ago... i also noticed that the time was off on sms's. After i rooted, flashed a new rom and radio is was fixed. But now i am on the Hero rom and once again the time is off. So it seems that the it is not an issue with the radio, but maybe the build. I remeber i saw the right times wen i was on JF builds. I will try the Rogers rom again and also one of JFs roms again and let you know if the timestamp is fixed.

Confirmed. I am using a t-mobile G1 with a Rogers Rom and live in EST. All my received texts are stamped with toronto time
I am running the rammjet rom built off the rogers and have the very same issue.
Though it seems sometimes if i have it open and am texting back and forth to the same person it will work properly.
Doesn’t matter what rom or software you are using on phone. This is a Rogers issue at the network level. They are the ones that stamp message.
They are aware of issue, but it seems very low on priorities to them. Guess they don’t understand sms is not just for teens to giggle these days. Its important for business and as far as I am concerned, a big deal
I have contacted them several times and get one of the two:
“No idea what you are talking about” << Love these replies from any service call
Or
“We are aware of the issue and are working on it” << No time frame given, so really as pointless as above
In any case. Don’t be running around looking for an in-phone fix because you haven’t done anything to mess with the time stamp. Doesn’t matter what you use for sms or what os you have on phone
Chomp helps by keeping things in order, but doesn’t fix timestamp. Rogers has to do this. Will they and when????? Who knows?
G1 Dream
I had the same problem with a Tmobile G1 Dream im not sure if they are exactly the same software but I fix the problem changing some of the APN settings give it a try
Good Luck
Good day, I recently purchased the HTC Touch Pro 2...great phone by the way. I also am experiencing sms message time stamp errors and I have tried everything...do you have any suggestions?

What settings did you change? I'd like to try this.
I know that it isnt a fix, but what i did was adjust the timezone to gmt -2(4 hour offset in regina) then manually entered a time, so now my messages are in the correct order. the only problem with this was that now all the events in my calendar where 4 hour out. so i went in and changed the timezone in my calendar to match the timezone on my phone, and moved all my events up 4 hours.
I know its not a fix, but until rogers does something about this it will work
There's an app on the market called SmsFixTimes that I wrote to help with this problem, until Rogers or HTC fixes the firmware. This is just a regular app, no hacks or anything else required. You should be aware, though, that it has only been tested by me so far, so it is at least possible that it could change the timestamps to something completely unexpected... you've been warned.
The app listens for incoming SMS messages and adjusts the timestamp to your phone's configured time zone automatically. The notification in the top bar is still wrong, but when you click on the message it will have the right time. If you run the app from the main app list, it will also go back and fix all of your saved messages (but only do that once! And maybe wait for an incoming message first, to see what happens!).
Since this is just a regular app, if you want it to stop you simply have to uninstall it from your phone. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
Hey natmanz, I've been checking on the Market since your post, and still no sign of SmsFixTimes. Is it just me, or has it not shown up yet?
[Edit: It finally showed up.]
Fix coming mid-august
I just spoke with a Rogers rep who told me that HTC are currently working on a patch that should be ready mid-August. Until then there's nothing that can be done aside from changing the time on your phone or using chompSMS as an alternative
Its fine for a while, up until you go past a few hundred messages in the thread. IE its me and my friend firing off during summer classes, and while its my solid wall of sent sms, and then his wall of sms, after a certain point it becomes 5 of mine, one of his, then none of mine for the next 50 in the thread. Annoying.
...Rogers. Bane of my existance. Bold works fine, iPhone works fine, maybe this is a sign that Rogers isn't giving enough of a ****? Because if it was a berry or iphone theyd be all over it. thank god bell/telus are going gsm, I can take my nice phones and business elsewhere, and fyi cant speak for telus but bells service on my omnia, rocks.
I have an HD Mini, suffering from the common time-stamp error.
Have attempted past HTC model fixes including hard resets, forcing time zone changes and the Reg Key "TrustTimeZoneField=0".
Falsifying the time zone will correct the SMS time stamps, but then throws out received mail time stamps.
I have tried others' sim cards on various carriers, AT&T, T-Mobile, Rogers with no change.
HTC claims it is a carrier, though my old s710 is always correct.
Any ideas? Thanks
hey...
i have the same problem as you, and i do believe it may be the carrier, as i had a problem with my sony ericsson before i got the htc mini....
my text messages will say for example, 2:00pm as the timestamp, but the message was received at 9:00pm
Afarid that I've been on 3 carriers and used locals' sim cards. Same issue. HTC denies it.
same here guys, hope some1 could shed some light on the matter...
Its not a carrier problem for sure.
it has something to do with the time zones.
my incoming txt msg's are recorded 1 hour ahead of time...dont know why..
i played around with regional settings and time zones but still nothing
hi all, after the official rom upgrade i have a problem with sms.. when i reply to an sms, my reply is showed before the received message.. anyone has the same problem?
Did you installed the new update from HTC for SMS stability ?
Moved to general...
Ok I have an HTC Rhodium having similar problem, you guys are only hours off, mine is off by years, my SMS shows todays date as 7/7/16, Is there ANY kind of fix for this? I'm still searching but wanted to post and subscribe while i was here.
ok never mind I was at htc the other day and apparently i was in the wrong spot. i'll have to download it tonite when i get home seeing as it's not a cab, dangit!
I got my HD2 about a week ago, and from the moment I turned it on it's been telling me that I have 1 voicemail waiting. Except that I don't. I've checked my box multiple times just to be certain, nothing in there. I've tried dismissing the notice, it comes back. It constantly displays "1" in the lock screen. I've even flashed a custom ROM (Energy 23569, Jun 8) and it STILL says 1 voicemail waiting! How do I get rid of this phantom voicemail and have it report accurately?
I had that same problem for a while. I just fixed itself after I flashed to a certain energy rom.
I was having the same problem with mine. It was showing that I had a new voicemail from the moment I bought it. I just called T-Mobile and asked them to reset my voicemail box. The girl was very nice and when she tried to explain to me about the new HD2 update they had released, I hinted that I didn't have the stock ROM on my phone and she explained that was totally no problem. They know that with the current technology that people are doing that. She reset my voicemail box and the notification went away. You will have to setup your voicemail again after they reset it, but that takes no time at all.
same this is so annoying! any fixes will be much appreciated.
**** I just found this, might help. I have not tried it yet.
I had the same problem when I got mine. To fix it, all I did was go to the T-Mobile store and ask them for a new SIM card, they did a quick switch and it was gone, but im sure a custom ROM works too
