SMS messages threaded in wrong order? - Epic 4G General

Is anyone having an issue where if they reply to someones text, the reply is listed chronologically before the previous message? I'm wondering if somehow the timestamps are getting messed up on my phone. It only happens sometimes, usually if I reply within 5-10 seconds.

I'm still experiencing this problem. Anyone else? </shameless_bump>

yes, here too, I see this today on 2 times, how can I fix this?!? please help!!!

It has happened to me also, however i noticed it is only with the default messaging app, so i use Handscent instead

this really annoys me

This has been happening to me ever since I had my Evo. I thought it would stop on the Epic, but it continues to happen. The only time I saw this problem dissipate was when I flashed a custom ROM to my evo. And it had the Stock SMS application on there.
Sprint really needs to fix this.

my theory is that if you reply to a message before the message registers as being "read," then the message will stay "unread" and remain the latest message while your response will go into the main list of messages.
if someone could edit how "unread" messages are checked and changed to "read," then this may solve our issue.

it only seems to happen to me when i reply within the same minute. if i get a text at 1:21 and reply at 1:22, im fine. if i get a text at 1:21 and reply and send it in the same minute, it seems to put my reply before their initial text. i dont think its reading the seconds on the time stamp.

Same here.

I can confirm that this happens on three epics

I went through 3 epics before i got one that is good for me, and let me tell you ALL of them had this issue.

I was having this issue... then I noticed it only happened while roaming.
I believe it may have to do with the sms time zone not being correctly handled by the roaming network.

i get perfect bars at my house (no roaming) and it happens to me there. i dont think it has to do with roaming.

I think the issue lies when texts are sent and received at the same minute, perhaps its not recording the seconds which is placing them out of order? It happenes to me when my friend with an epic sends me multiple texts in a row and it also happens to his phone as well.

It happens to me too. I was texting someone around 1pm today and the time stamp said 7:23 pm. I noticed it happened more frequently when I allowed my phone to roam too

bump..no fix for this?

Happens to me too. It use to happen on my BB too so i don't necessarily think it's the phone.

Text messages are coming in at wrong time

I've seen some threads about the text messages coming in at the wrong time but at XX hours behind, being like a time zone thing or something, but I have it where the texts come in 2 - 3 minutes behind when they should do.
I love the conversational text messaging, but this is really bugging me cos it's throwing the order off massively!
I've done hard resets and soft resets but it just still doesn't have the right time. HELP PLEASE!!!!
same here ...

Well now when I try sending texts to myself, they just don't come through. Says they're sent but they're not, and just not getting them through. I'm on O2 UK
Damn this phone sucks!! I only got it on Wednesday too.
Me too, I'm on O2, if i send one to myself i get it more or less straight away but its a hour in front. My clock is set right and it says its sent at the correct time? Is anyone else who is on O2 receiving texts at the 'correct' time?
Weird, just sent myself one and its back to the correct time!

Urgh, I reckon I'm gonna do an exchange in the 28 day period when we get them back in stock and see if that sorts all, or at least most, the problems out, just having a new phone from new batch.
i had this problem.... tooo
it really terrbile as i wont able to know which is my sms with his reply
Ive got this too, i'm on O2 UK and messages i receive are all 2-3 minutes too early and so put the text conversation out of sync.
This has happened a couple of times to me, but usually leaving the SMS app and then going back in fixes it.
Either that or the person who you're texting has the time wrong on their phone.
ya they maybe set wrong timing.. but is petty hard to find ppl who had the time timing as ur hahah
so the sms should be basic on our clock
i used to have screwed up SMS conversations too. you guys can try installing the SMS fix. it is working for me for now.
SMS fix from where??
from HTC.com
i installed but it doesnt not fix for me
Any chance there's a daylight savings time mix up?
no... my time was setting correctly..
there is only one clock setting how can it mix up??
somemore is from same zone..
no fix for this?
I have had this problem too.
Try setting your clock right...
You can do something like: when receiving a message check its time and change yours to match that one...
It should solve the problem.
i just got the tmo us hd2 and it seems only after midnight some peoples texts start coming in a day previously. i just had 3 conversations and one person came at the right time, and the other 2 came as if they were 24 hours behind
I've had the same problem recently, I just assumed it was an O2UK problem, I had it very occasionally with my Diamond.
It's fine at the moment, so I just put it down to peak text time. Lol.
*edit* HA! I just got a text as a was writing this post, it's now 10:15am and the text is time stamped 08:53am, I should have touched wood!

Sorry but htis has nothing to do with the phone.
Im on O2 germany and everything works fine.
Maybe your setup was wrong or your provider has an issue.
SMS faults are mainly providerissues.
I dont know which rom you are using but i dont have any issue with the updated stock rom.

[Q] Problem recieving text messages

Hello to everyone!
I've been recently having some troubles with my evo 4g. I'm running fresh 3.5.0.1 and just updated my radios to 1.90_003 . Right before i upgraded (from fresh 3.4 or 3.3 not sure) I started to have problems with my text messages.
First i noticed that i got one from "the future" it was timestamped about 2 hours ahead of what time it was and i didn't recieve a notification for it. So i checked for some updates since it had been a while and upgraded everything i was suppose to (ota,radio,wimax,pri,etc). Now my messages seem to have the same problem if not more. I get alerted 5 or 10 minutes after i receive the message, while going through my conversations say i select a convo with my friend zack and convo from my friend kyle will come up, and i will have to go back and select it again.
So i'm wondering if this is a service provider problem or something with the apps for custom firmware i'm using. Could it be caused by an app like JuiceDefender?
The timestamp issue usually only happens when roaming, but can also be caused by network issues in general. My old flip phone, rumor, and instinct all had that issue from time to time.
The other issue with opening one text and getting someone else is an android issue, engadget reported on that today actually.

Yeah I have been having time stamp issues also. And when someone replies, it puts them all above my txts sent that day, so I gotta constantly scroll up to read txts.
Anyone got any idea's on fixing this?

^^That happens to me too^^ I thought my phone was just fcukin up. It does it when someone sends me a pic. Puts it at the top of the convo's for that day...
I got a "VERY" important text 20 mins late the other day too. 20 mins too late!!! Pissed me off!!!!
good to know that i'm not the only one experiencing this problem hopefully gets fixed soon. if i had to guess i think it's most likely a problem/conflict with sprint and android.

Sms issues anyone else having them..?

I searched the forums to see if anyone else noticed these issues. First I upgraded via the exe file from samsung and I even did a wipe of my sd card after backing it up...
I am on stock eb13 and not rooted..
My issue is this, sometimes when trying to send text messages they get stuck with sending and don't actually send... I am kinda assuming this is happening after receiving a picture or sending a picture, but I am not sure on this because I can't make it produce this problem on a constant basis.. the only thing that seems to fix this is rebooting the phone.. then the text messages that all had sending on them will send all at once..
Second issue is today I wanted to send a funny animated picture text I received to mutiple people and while typing the peoples names in I would get multiple force closes.. the only way it seemed to work was using the contacts then choosing the names that way... I didnt fully test this to see if that was the work around and was curious if anyone else were getting forces closes...
Overall my experience with the stock sms app has been very annoying. D118 worked far better for me in the sms category..
Thanks in advance for any help in this matter....

Regarding the stuck on Sending... this is a problem with 2.2 and there is no fix yet. It has been present since DK28 but is completely random on when it occurs; sometimes you go a month+ before it happens, other times hours.
When it happens, go to settings/applications/manage/running and FC the messaging app. When you reopen it, it should send. Only other option is reboot and it will send.

My Evo is known for getting stuck receiving the SMS messages. Never have been able to figure it out. very frustrating indeed so i feel your pain
Thanks for the replies.. much appreciated..
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
To tell you the truth I don't think I've ever ran into this problem myself...the only way I'm stuck on sending is if in a bad service area which is common, did you try to a hard reset possibly? I'm not much help on android development, but starting from scratch may help?

I have seen issues like this with sprint in general, not just on my Epic. Sometimes texts just won't send. Other times you get like 4 or 5 texts that get delivered late.
I know that your issue is probably software related though. I really don't like the 2.2 messaging app. The one on 2.1 worked great
I've also had this issue, back to when I had the Moment. Same fix for me, reboots and whatever I thought was already sent, finally sends. At least I have an excuse for when my gf wonders why I haven't responded to her texts lol
I've only had this problem since getting EB13. I've found that if you go into RAM manager via task manager and do a level 2 memory clear, it shuts down a critical SMS process and the phone will refuse to send any SMS until the the phone is rebooted.
By chance have you been clearing memory in RAM manager on the new EB13?

I know that I do, I actually do this rather frequently when I want to make sure my music player or game or anything else isn't still running in background. Not going to do a memory clear the entire day and see if this error still comes up.

Let us know your results, I'm fairly certain this is the cause of my SMS issues. I haven't done a level 2 ram clear in a couple of days and have had zero SMS issues since.

I've been having the same issue too, and I can also confirm that I no longer have this problem by not using level 2 clears.
I'm having problems still and data problems..
Although I found out yesterday that Sprint put up a new tower in my area (south bend, in) and the problems won't be fixed for about a month :/
at least i know it's (most likely) not my phone
I am having similar issues. Just activated my phone, about an hour later I am using Syndicate 1.0.2
I can receive texts, but am getting "Failed" sent texts. Cleared my ram. Reboot. Still having issues.
I'm going to get to bed, and hope the problem is gone in the morning =P
EDIT: Well I figured out my issue. I tried to make a call this morning and got directed to SPRINT. Sprint apparently had to finish activating my phone... now texting works. hah! I feel kind of silly now for worrying about it.

Texting Issue

Anybody else have this problem? At completely random times, I just can't send text messages. I receive them with no problems, but I cant reply or intiate a conversation. They always say "sending." They sometimes send maybe an hour later or so, or I'll just restart my phone a few times which eventually allows them to send. Anybody elsehave this problem? Or is it just me....

Yea I have the same problem. Sent a txt last night was stuck on sending.restarted phone today then txt went through

This happens to me randomly, more so with my Hero than my Epic. I usually just reboot and it will go through. Sometimes switching to airplane mode and then back again will do the trick.
Happens to me on occasion. Has to do with the network not available when it happens despite the fact it shows good singal strength.

That and Sprint has been having 'issues' w both voice and data for a while now, like a couple months...? it is a 'known' issue (i.e. dont *****, they cant figure it out yet). Could be worse, you could get the 4am bulk mms sendout of your girls naughty pic she sent you (theres a thread about that issue...). I would save your mms, back up sms if you care, and delete all history... that may prevent sprint from messaging everyone you know.

Cm7 notification issues

Ok so i have this issue when ever i get a text and a pop up comes up it displays what was previously said from the person this is with chat from google talk and also handcent i cannot figure out why also when i go to look at my latest text message the olds ones are still at the top from another user i have played around with the phone all day no such luck on fixing it
So no one has notification issues?

Mayne try backing up and flashing the back up or just flashing over it. Havent heard that issue. I had to deal with a battery issue the last 2 days. Required 7 battery wipes and 3 flashes but i only lost 2 days worth of material and everything else is intact.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
Well it's a known issue in Handcent that sometimes changing from landscape to portrait mode causes the conversation list to skip back to the first message, making you scroll all the way back down to the latest text. Or you gotta hit the back button and reenter the conversation. Also, it sounds like you may be getting some late / double texts? If so, that could be an tower problem from wherever you're receiving the texts from, or the one closest to you. For example two weeks ago my ex girlfriends cell phone sent me 75 of the same text message over and over. Turns out it was a tower near where she was at somehow thinking the message wasn't sent.
Damn. 75 texts. Id be pisses. Ive had double texts all day a couple of time but that takes the cake.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
(incoming completely off topic story)
i was texting my friend once, and it sent the same text 7 times, and then BAM all of a sudden all the texts she sent me came at once after that. so i got the same text seven times, and then about 10 texts coming in all at once after that >.<
