messages in sms threads out of order.

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

[Q] Problem with Go SMS

Has anyone else had problems using GO SMS?
I really like this app and want to continue using it but it's acting really weird.
I'm using GO SMS Pro and when I have a convo with someone I get the notifications fine but when I go back into the thread to see the messages I sometimes see 5 of my texts followed by 5 or so other the other person's.
With one conversation it even listed all my friend's messages first and then all of mine. Is anyone else getting this problem or know of a fix?
Btw, I'm using a Bell Atrix on Rogers.
Thanks!

Go to Go SMS> Settings> Important Tips>Sort type of conversation messages>Sort by order of messages

I was having the same issue when i first installed and Darkkamikaze's suggestion was exactly the issue

That did the job.
So simple yet I didn't see it. I was about to uninstall, glad I didn't.
Thanks guys.

It happens because it only sorts by minutes and not by seconds

anyone having a problem with Go SMS syncing with contacts?

check the actual times of the text messages. They might be incorrect. If thats the case, get sms fix times from the market.

Stock Messaging App Text delay?

Has anyone experienced this, like you're texting someone but sometimes you don't get their messages till later when they told you they texted that earlier?

Happens a few times to me but more likely network issues rather than anything else, click on the message it will show you sent and received time.

[Q] Issue receiving multipart SMS message (CyanogenMod)

I'm using CyanogenMod 10.1.3 on my Sprint S4, and I cannot receive multipart text messages and it is driving me nuts. I always get the "1/2" or "1/3" notation and the first part of the message but then I never get the second or third part.
Has anyone else experienced this with this phone and ROM combo? This is with both the stock messaging app as well as Handcent. Not sure if it's the phone, the carrier, the ROM...or what. I've never even ran the stock ROM on this thing unfortunately so I don't have any experience to go on with that.

I've tried other messaging apps too with the same issue...really strange.

I've noticed that the issue seems to only be from certain carriers. I have several friends that are on Sprint and I can usually get mulitpart messages from them. I have a few people that always send me long messages from US Cellular and those always get cut off.
I've updates to new CM Nightly's, new SMS apps, put a stock rom on and updates PRLs etc...
I have no clue what is going on with this. Anyone else had this problem?

Text Notifications?

On Friday, I installed an update on my stock V20 on Sprint. Since then, I get text notifications sometimes, but not always. I can't seem to pinpoint it. Not specific to certain contracts, not specific to SMS vs MMS (group).
The app icon shows the unread messages. But there's no notification tone/vibration or even an icon in the notification bar.
I have rebooted phone (as well as watch). I have cleared cache on messaging app.
Anyone else experiencing this or have in the past?

I am having the same exact problem!!! It is SO frustrating. No sound or icon in notification bar, just the number by the messages app button. This is happening all the time.

Did it just start with the recent update? I had ZERO issues prior. And it's not even consistent. Sometimes works fine. Other times I'm getting a text from my wife, then another, angry, one 15 minutes later for not responding ?

Problem solved!

I backed up my texts just to be safe but then went into the play store and to the Android messages app. I hut uninstall and it asked if I wanted to uninstall all updates, I hit yes. Since then my notifications seem to be working ?! Hope this helps!

Didn't even think to check for an app update lol. I see there was one out there. Read some comments which reported same issue and then showed it was fixed after updating.
I just updated mine. So hopefully that just fixes it. If not I'll give your method a try. Thanks!

Update. Simple update of messaging app fixed issue. Doh
