Sorry about the question, I'm pretty new to all this and I tried looking for other threads in regards to this but I never really found anything. I just bought a Bell Desire Z and unlocked it to work on the Rogers network but I seem to be having trouble with SMS time stamp times... I know that this issue is somewhat common with android phones but I was wondering if anyone had an answer or fix for it. Was there an app? or some sort of tweak you could suggest? Thanks!!!
Look up an app called SMS Time Fix. I have the same issue on Rogers (as far as I'm aware, it is due to the way Rogers' timestamps are handled, the phone isn't a problem).
Thanks I just tried it on my Desire HD and it worked. I'm using Fido.
I had the same problem, i installed the Fix SMS app and it fixed it. However, with that app installed at times i would get a notification that a new sms is recieved but the message will not be there and so it deletes new recieved sms at times. Anyone else also have this problem?

hi, ive been using super hero beta 2 and until yesterday i had no problems. but all of a sudden, every time i got a text, the most recent received message would be put before all of the messages i sent. so in the message thread, the received messages are in order but all together at the top of the thread. my sent messages are in order but all at the bottom of the thread. the messages arent in order of the conversation. its really annoying to always have to scroll up to find what someone has sent me.
i didnt think much of it because i figure a wipe would fix it. today, i wiped and installed the new jacman rom and am still having the same exact problem.
is anyone else having this problem? does anyone know how to fix it? thanks!
this has been an issue for a few people, if t-mobile is doing tower work in your area it will screw with stuff like timestamps(are those correct for both incoming and outgoing?) and order of messages
Are you using the stock messaging or chomp sms? I used to have this same problem with chomp, then I upgraded to JF 1.5 and didn't need chomp anymore. Stock messaging has never done this thus far, but I know how annoying it is.
My nstive messaging app is doing that! It was frustrating as hell I did a wipe, flashed a different Hero rom, and still. I downloaded Chomp it has no issues....its the message app that is doing it to me
I have never had this issue before (except a brief trial of chomp) and then 2 days ago it started happening to me from my gf's phone to mine. I have seen it on a Hero build, a Rogers build, Ion build, and now The Dudes Rogers build. Next step im going to check the clock on her phone and see if that may be part of the issue or something.
The only time I've ever seen this problem is when two texts are sent/received within the same minute, and they would be grouped similar to that. So, for example, if someone sends me two texts within a minute, and I reply twice to those messages, and they would group similar to the original poster.
Have we tried rebooting? Is this present across multiple SMS threads? Using simple stock firmware/messaging app, or even going as far as installing a new messanging app amd seeing those results?
In all honesty, Hero is no where near perfect right now and probably won't be for a long while. It was never meant to go on the G1 so we can't expect perfect results just yet. Try using a different ROM, and see what results you get.
What I think you might want to try first, however, is to not use network provided values for the clock. Try using the phone's clock values. You can change this in Settings->Date and Time. Erase all threads, and chat away. Let me know the results.
@brandenk
I've been using TheDude's build for over 2 months now, and I've never experienced problems like this. If this is so common place across all these builds, have you seen the same results on a stock build?

My GF's G1 started having messages appear out of order a couple/few days ago as well. I'm in the Orlando area. I figured it's T-Mobile screwing with the configuration of their messaging servers as someone mentioned earlier. Hopefully it clears up soon.
Time fixes everything
the problem was happening with the stock messaging app. just appeared out of no where. it doesnt even happen on every conversation, it happens to the three or so i text most often. my time stamps in the messages are correct, the other person's messages usually have a pattern of being 4 exactly 4 hours behind, but some times they just get jumbled with random time stamps.
i tried the date & time thing then a restart and im still having the same problem..
Same thing keeps happening to me, I am on the Super Hero v2 build and it also happened to me on the v1 beta build.
I switched back to ION yesterday and it stopped...and switched back and it started instantly again...Coincidence ?
Everyone is saying it's happening on every build, but I have only experienced it on Hero.
More info
Apparently, as far as my GF has noticed, it is only happening with MY messages to her, not other contacts. I've got Sprint, she's obviously on T-Mobile. Anyone else notice if it's only from certain (non-T-Mobile) customers? I suspect it's a particular SMS exchange server screwing up the timestamps.
When I had this problem it was from a tmobile number(one of my faves) and a verizon number so I'm not sure that its carrier related
Hi All
I wonder does anyone noticed that when reading sms on my legend. I could not see the latest sms on top. if you have more than 100 sms from one contact you have to scroll down in order to see the newest sms. Any solution for that issue. Please Help me!!
Everyone who updated the phone software recently is having this issue, very annoying...
I switched to handcent messaging... it is a very decent alternative and it shows the last message on top.
Extremely annoying.
I also installed handcent but when ı read the sms the notification remains on the bar.
realized that problem after reading this thread. the problem exist with the default SMS application.. I recently changed to Handcent and it isn't affected by that.. plus Handcent is pretty nice and all
@lifeis, have you disabled the notification option for your default SMS application? you have to do that to let Handcent "take over" the default one
I switched to Chomp. Waiting for 2.2 ........

SMS Threads
Anyone else having issues with the SMS threads? Me, and other people around the web have threads that now load from the oldest message (ie from the top) so i now have to scroll all the way down to see any new messages! I called HTC who said software devs are aware of the problem but haven't started working on it yet!! He also told me that 2.2 isn't a definite for the Legend!
everybody is having the same problems regarding the sms bug. try sending an email to htc to voice out your concern and hopefully they can do something asap or we might just get used to it.
He also told me that 2.2 isn't a definite for the Legend! [/QUOTE]
Oh dear lol

I got this reply from HTC Taiwan:
"The official upgrade for Android 2.2 is not confirmed yet. Desire will release the upgrade earlier than Legend. As Europe already releases the 2.2 upgrade, Taiwan is expecting for its own release soon. However, the exact date for Legend is still not set."
I don't have this problem
It's weird because I'm not having this issue.
Software version: 2.05.405.2
It's a vodafone debranded phone, in spanish
VF eforum thread, anyone with a VF branded phone with the fault please report back to VF in the thread below. They don't see to understand its a fault and still just collecting feedback so LET THEM KNOW !

SMS-Threaded-Issue Suggestions
I really like the look of the native SMS app that comes with the phone. However, it misplaces the threaded sms.
HTC support is as sh!tty as it is. I sent them bunch emails, their final answer is "sending in the phone for repair".
Anyways, around April - May 2010, I tried Handcent & ChompSMS. I chose Handcent. The app was good & all, then the updates, then now lots of force-closes. So I switched back to the native app & learned to live with it.
The problem of the native app is that it SLOWS tremendously, especially if you have so many conversations with so many people.
My final solution is the purchase of the Desire (giving the missy my Legend).
With the Desire's Eclair 2.1-update1, the native SMS app STILL suffers from the same problem of the Legend. However, the lag is zero. INSTANTANEOUSLY.. I was VERY CONTENT.
My Desire is recently updated to Froyo 2.2 & it fixes the threaded sms misplace. So, I'm EXTREMELY content now.
So, my recommendation is:
1. Try to live with the native app & wait for Froyo 2.2
2. Try Handcent & ChompSMS & pick your preference.
3. Get the Desire & you'll be as happy as a kid in the candy store.
That's the answer that I got from HTC:
Thank you for contacting us, We apologize for the delay in answering your email, Kindly be informed that currently there is no way to change the sorting of your messages. There may be 3rd party applications that can solve your problem, and you can try searching the market for applications that match your needs. Please note that we are currently analyzing this issue and will determine if this will be addressed in a possible future update. As for the Froyo upgrade, we expect to release updates for several of our 2010 models including Legend and Wildfire during Q3.
Am I the only one getting this timestamp issue? I did a search and nothing popped up so I thought I'd make a thread and see if anyone else is having this problem.
All the texts I receive are always above own texts cause the timestamp is out of wack.
Also,
I'm using the stock Bell stuff for now, I got root and S-OFF, just waiting to debrand and flash the other rom.
So are you getting the timestamp issue?
yes but SMS Time Fix from the market fixes it easily...
Not really. Im going to download handcent to fix the other timestamp issues that sms time cant fix

Nope, no issues. But message app likes to scroll when I'm writing sms, the only thing that bothers. Also, sometimes nofitications show when I already read a message

I had both of these issues when I was running the Stock Sense ROM on my Desire Z. Since rooting and flashing CyanogenMod ROM, the problems have been fixed. I have also noticed that the messaging app is much faster in Cyanogen.
Hey guys,
I've had an issue for quite a while with my unlocked Virgin Mobile HTC Legend, which is being used on Rogers, receiving blank text messages from one person (who is using Bell). All of my other texts come through fine - I've had a few issues with texts, but none as bad as this - and one in every... 5 or so from this one person will actually come through.
When using my iPhone 3G, they all come through without issue. The application I use for texts doesn't make a difference (have tried Handcent and the stock texting app).
I've been using my iPhone until I can get this sorted out, but the 3G really isn't working well on iOS 4, so I'd love to move back to my Legend.
Anyone have ideas/suggestions? Are there log files I could check that would help diagnose the problem?
Anyone? Hate to bump a thread, but this is really a showstopper for me :\

Hi. I havea prob with my DHD. Couldn't find anything in the forums. I wonder if someone might be able to help?
Sometimes, when someone sends me an SMS message (or if I have a new voicemail), I don't get a notification for ages. Sometimes hours, sometimes over a day even. The other day a friend rang me after I hadn't replied to his text, and once he was off the phone I went into my messages app and the message suddenly popped in. This makes me wonder if maybe it's something to do with the messaging app not polling in the background or something?
I'm on O2, with a non network branded handset, stock rom up to date with 2.2.1. Settings>About lists me as running "software version" 1.72.405.3.
Any ideas?
Thanks loads for any help!
It's possible that maybe you're in an area with bad reception? Generally when you get slow sms notifications it's usually due to the provider.
You could try changing to a different radio and see if that helps? Or even try flashing a custom rom.
You could also be getting the SMS notification bug since the last update. There are a number of long threads about it in here. Waiting on an update from HTC to fix it.

Its o2s fault, i used to have a W910 on o2 and had the same problem, try another sim/network

Probably the sms notification bug which is well known in 1.72 software version. Try using a third party app like "sms popup" to handle the notifications.

Slow SMS Notifications
Thanks for all the replies!
Definitely not a service issue as I wondered this myself to begin with but it happens both at home and at the office in central London.
Will try a third party SMS notification app. Reassuring to know I'm not alone.
Might look into flashing CM7 or something, as this is a fairly major prob for me to be missing people's messages.
Also not convinced by O2's 3G coverage. Contract's up in December when I shall be looking elsewhere.
Thanks loads.
Rolo.
Another recommendation for SMS Popup here. Very handy app.
