On almost every verizon phone when you send a text message and if you go into your sent box it'll say the sent time and when a person checks it it'll say delivered and a time. So if I send someone a text message and they dont check it for a couple hours I know because of the time. I was just wondering if this feature is available on our 6800's because I can't seem to find it
I as well enjoyed this feature on my old phone.
I noticed in the Sent Items view all of my messages show a status of "OK". However, it would be nice to know for sure that it was received and at what time.

Hi all,
since a few days ago, the text messages I send and the calls I make/miss don't get saved in the Sent messages folder and the Call History menu. I have no idea why this is, as I am not aware of doing anything that could have caused this. I am running the 1933.18533 Thingonaspring ROM v 3.2 if it matters. I in fact have a large number of messages saved (about 2.6k received and 1k sent ones), but I have plenty of free memory both in the device and on the card. And yes, I do have the "Keep copies of sent items in the Sent folder" option checked If anyone has an idea how to solve the problem, please let me know. Thanks a lot!

Solved
Alright, I solved the problem myself in the end.
For some reason, from 17th to 24th January, the phone saved sent messages and call logs as if it was February. So now everytime I opened the Sent items folder and thought the message I just sent didn't get saved, it actually did, but I didn't see it, as I have the most recent messages displayed first and the phone naturally thought that the message from 24.2.2008, for example, is newer than the just-sent one from, lets say, 26.1.2008. So I kept seeing the same messages again and again while the ones I actually sent got saved behind them
I have no idea how the date change happened though, and the weird thing is, that it didn't affect the incoming messages..just the outgoing ones and call logs.
Anyway, now I'm happy everything is working again And sorry for spamming the forum

Hello,
I seem to be having an issue with the time stamps on my text messages. The ones that I send are okay, however the ones that I receive all have different times on them. For example:
If I send a text at 8:15PM and receive a reply right away, it'll show my text sent at 8:15PM, but the reply will have a back dated time... Maybe 5PM, 4PM... something like that.
Any ideas why?
Thanks!
I find this but its by no means universal. some messages I recive are an hour ahead others are not. I recived two messages at almost the same time & one of them had the wrong time. I can't wait for the new update to fix all of these little issues
I've seen this problem since my G1. It's still suffering from it, as is my Magic and my Hero.
I'm still having the same issue.
My received text messages show a time of 4 hours behind.
So if I send a text at 6:30 and receive a reply at 6:32, it shows 2:32 as the received time.
Does anyone know if there's a fix for this? I have updated to the latest (leaked) firmware, but still no luck.
Thanks!
Are you all on the same network? Might not be the phone because i've never noticed this

Was just going to ask this... What network are you on, have you set network location to automatic by carrier, if so, set it manually to the city / country you are in.
I'm on O2 and have been using the network provided values.
I've set it to manual and text someone at 12:44. The reply came in a little while after and was stamped 12:45 so no issue there it seems. Strange.
I'm now getting issues now with texts in fairly quick succession.
The time stamps can be the same i.e. 21:17 but a reply from someone will sometimes appear before my original text in thread view.
Also a reply came in to one of my texts with a time stamp before my original text. This was displayed "correctly" as before my text, but the fact its timestamped in this way can't be right.
Anyone else seen this?
It's like the phone is looking at minutes for accuracy, not seconds. Also taking the timestamp of when a text was sent from the other person's phone as the time received to my phone. Hm :/
I get this on Orange when I receive a message from the US. All my outgoing messages are listed at the bottom of the conversation, while the one received from the US are at the top.
UK based conversations are all threaded correctly.
Ok thanks.
It never used to be like this so I'm wondering after prolonged use the sms database gets a bit corrupted somehow?
For me it seems to behave like this: for outgoing (sent) messages I see the time that is set on Hero. For incoming messages, however, Hero shows the time on the network provider.
I assume there is some header in SMS message containing the time, and Hero uses that instead of using the time Hero has when the message arrives.
I started using the Network Provider time (automatic) to get rid of this.
I was just looking down at my SMS inbox (I wish there was a way to default to the inbox style rather than having to select it each time)
anyway...my message times are wrong.
eg I received a message at 8.00am this morning..looks ok
I received another one at 12.30...however, my phone reports this as being 12.30am....not pm....
anyone else have that?
That happens to me when receiver/sender are in different time zones...
wellmy mate is only an hour down the road, so it's not that thats causing it
SMS receipt time incorrect
I'm having the same issue. It seems to only happen at midnight or noon.
I work from noon til midnight. I have text conversations throughout the day with many people on the same schedule. After work we talk (via text) and the new texts are listed before the text conversation prior to midnight.
It's weird that not all the texts come in that way. 1 will, then I reply, then they reply (comes in normal) then their next reply is listed before all others. Kinda confusing, but now that I know what its doing, I can follow it. But would love a fix.
Sorry if this has been addressed in another thread but I could not find it.
I am receiving a notification that I have received a text message, and a green ! next to the person who sent it. But when I go to read the message it is not showing up anywhere. I called and asked the person who sent the message if he sent one and he did. This happened multiple times in a row. Is this a common issue and is there a fix? Thanks
SMS prob
i've had this same problem on tmo us and it usually happens about midnight i even called tmo and asked them and all they could say was try a hard reset.but after all that whenver the msg comes in ive found that the msgs are usually towards the top of your convo list then later theyll start showing up at the bottom if the list
I was going over my bill and I noticed two messages were sent out to this weird number that showed up as international: 0720001669
Verizon has no information on it, I asked them to investigate.
When I looked the number up online one of the things that popped up was an old 2012 thread from avast anti theft which I do use.
It's also the same time I was signing up for Isis mobile wallet.
The text messages were both on the same day but at different times.
The first was sent @ 12:15pm two minutes after I sent a text to my wife.
The second was sent @ 1:46pm the same time I sent a text to my wife.
It hasn't happened since, but I see no logs in my phone about it(though a lot of data is missing from that time period).
Wondering if anyone else has had something like this happen and if you ever found out the cause.
had the same issue

I use google voice number and I never gave out my real number. However I did find out text messages to strange numbers that i was charged for on my verizon number. After a lot of and a lot of investigation, i find out that a lot of messenger services do that ( whats app, facebook ... ) they do it as a verification. Every single app that takes your permission to send text messages can at any point send a verification message. SO i blocked all messages on my verizon number, I was tired of paying $ 1-2 a month just on verification.

I think avast anti theft must be the culprit then. It's the only app I have that has access to send text messages.
I've been facing the same problem...

After I read this thread, I decided to uninstall the Avast Anti Theft, which I was using until then... Just hope it'll fix the problem, 'cause it's driving me crazy! :silly:
Either way, thank you for sharing the info!
