Is anybody else having issues with time stamp being off since DST???
Former Army sergeant 11C
Mine are off by an hour
mine often go to two hours in the past when i move around (I'm on Cricket though)
Thre is a nice app on the market called SMS Time Fix that I use to change the timestamp to whatever time it is on the phone as the message is received. I usually use that for a few hours or a day and then turn it off, at which point I check to see the time stamps are back to normal and if not turn the app back on.

Hey guys,
I just recently bought my TD2 just over the weekend...and when receiving text msgs from my friends, there's this 4 hour difference in the time stamp. For example, I'll send a text msg at 10pm, and when I receive a text msg five minutes later, the time stamp will be 6:05pm.
Would anyone know what the issue would be? Cause I'm really stumped by this. I even sent text msgs to myself from my phone carrier's website and it's the same thing, the time stamp is 4 hours behind what it actually is..
Any suggestions or ideas is greatly appreciated. =)
I'm fairly sure the time stamp for incoming text messages is dependent on the time your service provider says it was sent, not the time your phone actually receives it. So if your network provider is based in a city with a different time zone your incoming text messages will be time stamped at the time the message was sent in said time zone, not your own.
I'm not sure if there are any settings to change this as I haven't really looked in to it a great deal. It's just kind of annoying and can make conversation threads kind of pointless.
my network provider is based in the same city as me, so there shouldn't be any discrepancy in terms of time zone.
I'm starting to think it's a WM6.1 bug or something like that. I've tried hard resetting it but it doesn't work. I've also tried putting in a different sim card from a different network provider and the issue is still there.
so..im stumped even more...
you could send a notification to HTC. I've been reading these forums for some time now and I haven't encountered anyone with the same problem. Or, then again, I might be mistaken ...
4 hours does seem a bit extreme. Do you have any friends on the same network as you? Can you check the time stamp on a message that you've sent to their phone to see if it shows the correct time?
I only say it's network dependent because I know that when my country has daylight savings time the timestamps for all of my messages get messed up, but when daylight savings time is over it's fine.
It depends on the service provider.
Some service provider use the time the msg is pushed to your phone, while others use the time when the message is sent. So, if your sender is in a different time zone, there may be a time difference.
I've checked with friends that are on the same service provider. The text msgs i send them have the correct time.
I even send myself a text msg to see and it'll be the same thing again. sending it to myself is just as mind boggling cause i receive my own msg right away, and time stamp is 4 hours behind still. -_-;;;
Did u set any "Visiting Time"? I never encountered this since I bought my TD2 last month. Guess it could be related to service provider?

No, I believe you can only set either Home or Visiting Time...
I flashed my phone with cooked roms hoping that bring it to WM6.5 would fixed the issue, but it hasn't worked...
Is your problem solved yet? I've the same problem and I've done everything nothing works, I guess i've to live with it. Mine shows 40 mins difference which is very annoying.
no luck at all.
I just played around with the time zone settings. i just put the time zone setting to est-1 since it's est -5 where i am. and then i just brought the time back 4 hours and it matched...but aside from that..nope..nothing.
How can i find out when a text was sent (the time) when in conversation mode.
After a day or so the time dissappears and only leaves the date.
Any ideas?
Mine does the opposite, shows the time but not the date.
after a couple of days the time goes and is replaced with a date..
are your texts a few days old?
Ah ha, I didn't go back far enough, serves me right for getting so many texts!
Xperia Tweak 2.0 or newer:

And you'll see SMS like in the good old days. With date and time.
Since the clocks went back here in the UK by an hour on the weekend the time which is displayed when I receive a txt is an hour out.
The time on the phone didnt seem to go back an hour automatically so I manually changed the time but now when I receive a txt it says the message was received at e.g. 20:30 when in fact the time/clock on my phone display's as 19:30 (which is the correct time)?
Anyone have any ideas what the prob is?

This is just a guess, but it almost sounds to me like your carrier hasn't set their time back. See what happens if you tell your phone to sync time with your carrier. If it sets it to the old time, then that would explain why your incoming txts are not right. I'm basing this on the idea that incoming sms time stamp is set by carrier and not by your phone. And I'm guessing that outgoing texts should be set by your phone.
Hope this helps

I have the same issue with some text messages. It´s only in those cases the sender hasn´t set the right time zone or didn´t correct the time at his device. ask those senders for the time they set.
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.
I have two issues. Well one issue and one question. I turn my phone off nightly, so you know, you get texts while youre asleep and they show up when you turn it on. Well, when i turn my phone on, i dont get the actual time i recieved the message. The time displays the time it got on my phone after i turned it on. Ex. i get a text at 4am but i turned my phone on at say 7am, it will say i got the text at 7am.
Now for the question. Is there any way to prevent the messaging from flipping down to the bottom after receiving a new text? Like you go in search of an old message but you get a new one and it flips you ALL THE WAY TO THE FREAKING BOTTOM WASTING YOU EFFORT OF SCROLLING UP=/
