The following happens no matter which ROM I use. Stock, fresh, modaco. I'm currently on fresh .6 (includes RM). Before that I had the stock ROM with MR update.
My PRL is up to date.
Happens with Handcent, Chomp and stock Messages app.
Problem:
When have a text conversation via SMS the arriving text are received out of order, some come on time, other come minutes later making the conversion impossible to follow. When they finally do arrive they are correctly sorted.
So let's say that I have a conversation that should look like: (just an example)
Me: Hi
Them: Hey whats up?
Me: Going to the game.
Them: Yeah I'll be there in 10 minutes
Me: Can you send me directions?
Them: Just did.
Me: thanks
But it will read like:
Me: Hi
Me: Going to the game.
Them: Yeah I'll be there in 10 minutes
Me: Can you send me directions?
Them: Hey what's up?
Them: Just did.
Hard to explain but then the sms get sorted correctly after a second and if they said something in a long convo that I'd have to scroll up for I'd never see it.
It's weird I know I'm getting thoem sometimes because my phone will go nuts with ringers, tell me I have 4 new messages but I only see two. 30 seconds later they appear in the conversation. Usually I get the latest ones first, then the older ones come through.
It is SO frustrating. If it's not one thing with this phone it's another.
Has anybody heard of this?
call sprint, see if they can disable your texts and then reenable them on your account, i had a similar issue with my texts.. it wasn't exactly like that, but I'd get like 1/3 then 3/3and a minute later almost 2/3 would appear, and my texts would go like older than their old texts... once they did that they work perfectly now

Yup. It has to be something with your account. Have them do what nelson said or re-provision your phone.
I live in Chicago and we don't get Sprint service while underground on the train. When I get back into range, 20 minutes later a missed text will magically appear, but strangely it is stamped with the correct time.
Is it possible that you are in an area of spotty service?

That behavior ir reasonable and expected; but, no, this happens to me in areas of near-perfect reception like my home where I have all but one bar most of the time.
Also, I believe the timestamp's embedded as metadata in each SMS message which puts it in the right place on any phone, smart, dumb, new old etc.
yeap, I have the same problem here... Do you happen to live in MST?
I'm in Scottsdale and randomly I'll have messages timestamped exactly one hour behind. From what I've heard it's a Mountain Standard Time issue. My issues started when Daylight Savings Time started. It's rather annoying tbh, but its completely random.
Hrm, I had it happen to me last night, and I'm in Scottsdale too.
Happens to me as well. I'll randomly get a text that shows up timestamped 1 hour behind. I'm in Goodyear.
Hearing about this on other forums as well. Seems to be mostly AZ people with the problem.
thats funny. my wife and I have this same issue. i'm in east mesa. definitely AZ issue.
Aren't you guys the ones that *don't* do anything for daylight savings? If so, I wonder if that has anything to do with things...
I have the same problem and im in sioux city, iowa...mine does not do it all the time just everyonce in awhile tho
This also happens to me.. I live in Howell, NJ and it was also happening to me on a recent trip to Mountain View, CA.
Me too , I'm in Orange, ca.
I am an az guy and also have this issue. Htc knows about it and so does sprint. When they will fix it no one knows.
If you dl handcent it fixes it even tho the times will still be screwed up on some of the texts.
I'm also in AZ (Tucson) and having the SMS time stamp issue as well. It doesn't seem to be very wide spread unfortunately. I've searched a few forums and have only seen a post or two about it. Kind of makes me wonder if Sprint/HTC will do anything about it...
In Tucson, AZ here too and having the same problem. Holy crap it's annoying.
Download handcent and it will fix the issue until sprint/htc fix it.

I experience the problem with handcent as well.
Yup, still happens with Handcent but it looks like it at least displays them in order received... at least that I've noticed.
I was in SoCal last week and when ppl from the east coast would sms me it would put the conversations in order by their local time, i.e. my replies were behind theirs even though it was a newer text. Handcent.
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.
Ok I have a nexus one and I'm using Handcent OS, and i thought it was the program itself so I Decided to reset the phone to factory, and try it. It seems that after an amount of time of the phone being on it stops recieving data and sending it..like txt messages and I get network errors.. Is this a common bug or is my device buggy? because when i restart it, it all works again..but when I use it after awhile it will fail sending messages... and then I have to restart to finish sending my txt message...
my phone is doing this too. i thought it was just me. It does it with the stock SMS and Handcent as well. Just fails to send messages or send/receive calls. I hope it gets worked out, I love this phone to death!
P.s. I am not rooted

I'm not rooted either, because I love the phone stock... I would rather keep my warranty intact just incase something retarded happens. But yah I think its a software bug...or something to do with the 3g signal and all that signal bug thing going on...I love my phone too its so sexy..I love making my friends Iphone look like a piece of trash with icons..
A few times each week I get the exclamation mark in the red triangle when trying to text and I after I try a bunch more times it'll either work or Ill have to restart the phone. But I can't remember having an issue with phone calls. Sometimes ill dial and it will just hang up but it always works right after when I call again. There are a Lot of software issues that Im sure Google will address through time. Hopefully that's all this is....

Ok good to see its not just me and I can go back to sleep next to my nexus one LOL (Fail) Mafian
anyone else notice the nexus one only flips one way and that left landscape and then back to normal? it doesn't flip in all directions when rotating the phone? Is that just my phone or is that known widely and will it be fixed?

I have this happen to me too intermittently. A quick reboot always resolves the issue. I just chalk it up to T-mobile network issues.

Same I think its tmobile too.. Oh well can't do anything about that..they just simply need to fix they towers...I got a tower about 3 miles down the road and its not very strong I only get 3g on the left side of my bed and I get edge when i walk to the right side of my bed lol
WE need a reboot application that reboots at night at least once everyday should fix it? ya think..Without root being needed....
Pinch to zoom needs to work in more than one spot... I've noticed in some spots it should be applicable and its not...depressing..
Glad to hear that I'm not the only one experiencing this issue.
It's not a T-Mobile network issue: If it regularly occurs, and rebooting your phone fixes it, then it's not an issue with T-Mo's network or SMSC, it's the phone.
Are there any bug reports filed with Google for this one? Does anyone else running non-stock ROMs have this problem as well?

One thing about typing its almost impossible to convey inflection so I don't know if you're kidding. If you aren't
, which would be weird, I don't know of any Android phones that flip any direction other than to the left for portrait. I'm sure there are custom roms that flip every which way but not stock
I'm not sure what you mean about zoom but it works in gallery, maps, browser and 3rd party apps can utilize it. Out of curiosity, where else did you think it should be available? I would say for documents but I guess that's a decision for the application's dev...

Facebook would be nice when your viewing other peoples pictures ya think? Some apps I'll list later but thats one of them
It happened on my G1 as well.
Maybe just some random Android bug ?
Y'all install handscent? I heard that causes a text bug..... thats what I heard so right off the bat I installed chomp sms and no problems...
I get the sms fail bug intermittently and I am on CM 5.0.4.1 although I never seemed to notice it before I started using Handcent. I do love that app though, is there a different one that is comparable?
Yes CM5.0.4.1 does allow for 360 degree rotation. You can flip the phone upside down and it rotates!

I would try a reset first. Maybe even a custom ROM or kernel. But at the same time, you don't want to be saddled with a defective device right off the bat.

You could try and see if there's an update, either 4.2.1 or even 4.2.2 waiting for you. Just go into settings and About phone and click update. If there is and your phone is still acting up, I'd take it back.

Yep updated to the latest but didnt solve the issue, looking like im gonna have to send it back
Flickering is a problem but I have the grey bars thing and I don't really think it's an issue. Every unit I've seen has it; I think it's just how the screen is and tbh unless you're looking for it it's unnoticeable.
