Text messages out of order...

Hey guys, has this happened to anyone? I have been getting text messages all out of order. Regardless whether I have the date and time displayed on the message list. For some reasons, the text messages have been coming in at different times and it is sorted by the time it arrived. Any way to resolve this?

Anyone? Anyone at least able to explain how this could be?

I'm getting them too, just recently, and I know someone else who is having the same problem as well and has for a while

It's working fine on mine, have you been tweaking the registry at all? Maybe you accidentally changed something.

I'm having the same issue, haven't screwed with the registry but i do remember getting a notification about how i had received an update that had something to do with daylight savings time. Living in a state that doesn't observe DST i paid it no mind but now my texts come in with different times whether its an hour ahead or the current time. This is really fudging up my inbox. When i get a new text i sometimes have to scroll down through quite a few texts to get to the new one.

I am having the same problem... and I live in AZ... this is so frustrating... uhhh

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one affected by this issue. Seems like it might be a daylight savings problem indeed.

Nope living in Tucson, Az here and this issue has only been happening since the onset of daylight savings. WE DONT OBSERVE DST IN AZ DAMMIT...lol...Some of Tmobile's servers must be in new mexico where their call centers are. They adhere to the DST demon. No good for us in az tho...

Got A Fix For Messages Out Of Order
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/daylightsaving/default.mspx

Sweet. Worked like a charm! Thanks! BTW, I recommend using your device to go to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile instead of using the PC since it doesn't require you to install anything on the PC.

Oh anytime man no problem...

Text messaging driving me CRAZY

ok, i just got this phone yesterday, and its AWESOME. Just one minor but VERY annoying problem tho, whenever i send out text messages, it will be displayed in the correct time, but whenever i recieve text messages, it will be 4 hours before the actual time... It seems its been set to a different time zone or something... Anyways, does anyone know how to fix that?..
Thanks.
oh and is there anyway i can find out which rom/country my phone is currently using? I bought it unlocked from a local chinese retailer, and supposedly they get all their stuff from hongkong, is there anyway to check?

anyone? bump

it depends where is the person which sends you the sms, as a matter of fact if the person is in paris ou you are in London, then the message will be displayed with GMT -1

I had the same issue, I apply the summer time fix followed by the df_timestamp_fix.cab I attached. (Thanks to the author, it's floating in the forums if you search for sms timestamp or something along those lines if your curious to know what the cab does)
I am not sure the summer time is needed but it work for me.
The issue is with a "Trust time zone" Reg key. From what I understand, your provider applies the GMT -4 and your phone do it a second time, hence the time difference.
Hope this work as well as on my phone

wow if i was anywhere near u i would go over and kiss u, thanks a lot man! I didn't know the correct term for it was "timestamp" and i been searching all over the forum and came up with nothing. Thanks again! gonna go try it now

the unfixable unread count is even worse.
at the moment i have 8 unread SMS messages i cannot make go away. even when i use a CAB to handle this things go back to the way they were after the next text comes in.

I haven't had that problem at all and I do alot of texting! Sometimes it'll have a 1 by it when I though I read all my messages but I really didn't.
Did you try disabling touchflo from today screen in settings rebooting and then re-enabling it?

This is annoying, I use to have it on stock rom with my TP1, the genius cook made some work around work so I haven`t been bothered since...

I only had that prob once on my TyTn2... or was it my Prophet...? Anyway, try this file. It worked for me before.

Not working.... Just tried it.

this was exactly what i was looking for.
thanks SO MUCH.
EDIT: doesnt work.

Try this
Start/Settings/Text Messaging Change to Classic and X out.
Go into your text messages and you will probably find the culprit in bold. Once you open it, that should reset the counter. Go back and switch to threaded.

First, make sure local time setting is correct (as above posts)
If still persist, try reghack; open phm regedit or resco or else, navigate to HKCU/System/State/sms/Unread, change the Count value to 0. Exit regedit, press power button to suspend your device, wait 5 secs, then softreset. Please try and feedback.

The timestamp_fix.cab did not work for me. The MTS_RecvTimeStamp.cab did the trick.
link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=159852&d=1235328543

This didn't work either for me.
I noticed if HTC Messeging is installed, the cabs will work, if its not, they wont work.
But HTC msging is slow.
anyone with a solution for the timestamp issue?

SMS messages in wrong order

hi guys,
Just noticed last night, my desire hd seems to be really slow on the uptake to check for new sms messqges, and when it foes receive some, it receives them after newer messages that he contact has sent. Would this be a software problem, or is it a problem with my signal strength and the fact I had mobile data on at that point? If it helps, I was only getting strength enough to use gprs, not even edge.
Cheers in advance
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I had the same problem with my HD2, and wrote to HTC about it. They said that I should turn off time sync in settings gsm/umts.. and it works

Oh, wow. No clue that it would've been that. Cheers for that, will hopefully see a difference now.
(and can any android owners just confirm that this would be the setting under Settings>Date & Time>Automatic (Use network-provided values), please?)

It cant be.
I have automatic time in Data & Time unchecked but still getting wrong order if two messages have the same hour and minuts. This is the problem of HTC sense and probably can not be corrected without their update.

I second that, I checked it off and still the incoming txts are dated 5 hrs earlier than my local time.
I called HTC customer service and they assured that the issue is with the cell tower, it sends the message to my device dated 5 hrs earlier
( in other words its the Carrier's fault ).
So, I called Rogers and their Rep. notified me that its a well known issue with android and was addressed with the 2.2 update for rogers devices. ( My DHD is Telus branded )
Then, I called Telus and they basically told me to to stick my phone into the area where the sun don't shine
( The rep did tell me that she had no Telus customers reporting this issue for this device )
Thus, according to my logic, HTC will issue a fix for this only if Telus customers start receiving their incoming txts stamped 5 hrs earlier

It Works for me
Mine was doing exactly the same as yours I checked and saw that my network's times were ten minutes ahead of the actual time, so messages you sent, your phone says you sent it 10 minutes after you did, so when your phone receives messages, it puts them before chronologically as it records it by the phone time...very odd ...But yes, I disabled it and set the time myself to the actual one, and the messages corrected themselves. Very helpful, thank you

I had this issue too, but using a 3rd party messaging app like GoSMS did the trick for me. I set the messaged to 'order chronologically' instead of 'ordered by time'.

Search SMS Time Fix in the market (icon is a bandaid)
install it, set it to active (checkbox)
and select adjustment method as the 4th option "Use Phone's Time"
problem solved, and it doesnt screw up any apps that uses time zone data.

New SMS not showing as unread

Hi everyone,
I am running CM10 Alpha4 on my HTC One X and I have the following problem:
When I receive an SMS, a notification shows up which is fine, but the received message (and other new messages as well) shows as read instead of unread. :crying:
Can anybody help?
Thanks

SMS problem update
I have noticed another thing that might be related to the problem: today was Aug 14th and all threads of all messages that arrived today were showing as Aug 13! Then, one message came that was displayed as 4:30, which means today !?
Here are the things I have tried:
1. I checked Date/Time, it is ok.
2. I deleted all messages and tried to send myself just one message, same problem
3. I deleted all messages and restored them with Backup/Restore, same problem
I noticed another thing: when I receive one or more messages, the notification shows up, which is ok, but when I open messages app, besides the original problem, the fact that no messages are displayed as read, the notifications disappear instantly. It is as if the messaging app "reads" all messages, or this is just normal behavior, I don't know.
Does anyone else have this problem, please help!
Also, is this the right place to post this kind of problem? Can anyone direct me to some better place, because no one seems to have interest for this question here

Are your timezone and time correct?

Yes, I have tried both automatic and manual settings, both with same result

It's weird, all I can suggest is that perhaps your phone thinks it used to be in the future and you'll have to get past that date before it will stop thinking that everything has been seen (hopefully less than 24 hours).

YES!! I think you are right, the messages suddenly started appearing as unread!
This happened all by itself, I didn't change anything since the last time it didn't work.
Although, I don't recall doing anything "weird" with date and time settings.
Maybe Titanium restore screwed something up, I don't know.
Anyway, it works (for) now .
Thank you very much for showing interest in my problem and for your suggestions!
Cheers!

Awesome.

SMS's not sending - Have to reboot to send.

I'm having an issue with my SMS where after a while they will sit in my inbox trying to send but not actually send or fail. I physically have to reboot the phone for them then to send. S-off, rooted running ARHD 10.2. I'm not sure if it's more network related or handset related as I can receive and everything else works solidly.
Anyone else experienced this?

I am running a similar set up like you, im on ATT, I can't say I've had that problem enough to say its a problem..
Obviously your service is good in that particular area?

Have you upgrade the firmware? Check this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54408500&postcount=9592
US users may wish to try the 2.22.1540.3 fw

Yeh I have upgraded my firmware before flashing 10.2. It's an intermittent problem which is the most annoying thing. In the ARHD post there seem to be at least 2 others with this same issue as well which is strange...

I had an issue with sms notifications after I installed a custom rom. Then learned that my problem comes from the hearbeat interval settings. I think my carrier uses a custom value (5min is default) and since I changed the rom, their settings have not been pushed to my phone.
Testing several things I came across this app. It will not hurt to try it:
Install an app called "pnf push notification fixer". Is free from store.
Set the heartbeat mobile interval to 3 minutes.
Reboot.
Make sure the value did not change itself
Monitor and see if the problem stays the same.
This maintains the connection alive for me.
Have you checked when you experience the issue if the sms carrier center number removes or changes?
On the dialer press *#*#4636#*#*
Select phone info
Scroll down to smsc and hit refresh. Note the number when working. When it stops, repeat the process and check if the number is diff or was removed. You can also hardcode one there.

I had a bit of both. The cellphone was not maitaining the network alive fast enough.

I have the same issue.
I've tried what jmoneste wrote, but the problem still persist. SMS keep failing. Everytime I want a message to be sent I have to activate airplane mode and then desactivate en resend the SMS. It's so annoying.
This problems comes from stock rom and now I'm using the Viper One ROM but it still fails.
Has anyone found the solution?
