So I got my Epic about 4 hours away from where I'm staying now, and I have unlimited roaming so I use it no problem. The issue I have is when I text someone the conversation is completely out of order. It says the correct time for me, but the wrong time for received texts. This happens on every ROM I flash. Any suggestions?

Hey all, question. For every SMS message I sent it displays the correct timestamp in the message however for each I receive it is shown as 4 hours into the future...which gets really annoying especially since they are all in chronological order in the message thread.
I live in Cleveland, OH and my phone is not currently rooted. I have the correct time and time zone set in my settings. Setting the time manually or automatically yields the same results. Anyone have any thoughts or solutions? Thanks.
I had this happen on my hero when i went out to the middle of nowhere with poor sprint coverage. While I was there my phone pulled some malformed data from the towers and causing time stamps to be off.
The fix was calling sprint and they forced an update. I think you can do the same from the self service app but im not 100% sure.
also having this problem with my EPIC.. I will call today.
There is an app in the market called SMS Time Fix. Works for me.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Backstory: last 3 weeks, I've noticed that some text messages I've been sending haven't been going through (without the "resend" notification), and haven't been receiving some of them as well. About 3-5 texts a week that I don't get and about the same amount that people don't get from me so not a big deal, just annoying.
Just got off the phone with Tech Support at T-MO. Went up to the 3rd level, via flow chart the tech support person determined that some app or software I'm running is causing a corruption that's messing up my mms/sms.
I've been running ILWT for quite sometime as my stable rom, but have switched between virtuous quattro ICS, HTCClay's Rom, CM7 RC's over that period of time. Each time doing a superwipe as well as the clockworkmod wipe. The problem hasn't gone away or changed with the different roms, and it's getting frustrating.
Automatically, T-mo attributes this to rooting my device, and I could care less if they replace my phone.
Has anyone had this problem before? If so, did/how did you solve it?
Temporary fix for anyone having this problem. In handcent, turn on both delivery reports and handcent delivery reports. When your text sends successfully, a green dot with a check mark in it appears next to it, if it doesn't a yellow dot appears. At least you'll know when your messages aren't really going through.
Might be a long shot.. but have you tried to take a log cat during the time that it happens? start log cat, send it a text, and send a text, may be tedious though since you'll have to repeat till you get that rare chance that it happens... What are you doing when you don't receive the text? Have you tried Ghostly SMS?
I have this same issue. It usually happens to me when I am in an area with low signal. I have learned to live with it.
T-Mobile customer service has become fairly unhelpful lately. It usually takes me a few calls to get what I need (last time they did not have my phone registered on the network for data access, though it is in my plan, and it took me 4 calls to get that straightened out.) I would not expect much from them.
Have you noticed the messages do not send when you are in a specific area or signal strength?
Naturally, now that I spent 2 days trying to logcat it, I haven't had the failure. Called t-mo yesterday and got my upgrade pushed up a month because of all my problems. Getting a Galaxy S2 on tuesday.

I have also noticed that if my battery is low and I am in a fringe area this happens to me, the message will show draft and when I charge and am in a better area it sends with no problem.

It may be memory related. As mentioned, Ghostly SMS is helpfull to fix this for recieving message. But for sending message I don't have any idea.. just to enable confirmation messages
Anyone else getting duplicate text messages? I flashed StrongSteves Odexed Blue ROM a couple days ago. Later on the night I flashed it, i was getting duplicate text mesages from everyone I was talking to. I waited it out til the next day and it stopped. Well this morning I flashed the new LG8 Modem. When I started texting a few people this afternoon, i started getting the duplicate text messages again. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or have any recommendations? I love this ROM but i can't deal with the same text over and over lol. Very annoying. I don't think its a sprint issue either because my buddies at work have sprint and are not dealing with this.

This happened to me a few weeks ago, Sprint told me it was due to network updates for LTE devices and the duplicate messages stopped the day sprint told me it would be fixed. My wife has a Motorola, and she started getting repeat messages yesterday, so just out of curiosity I disconnected our Airrave. She hasnt got a duplicate message since.
Dupes are always network side.
I got a friend of mine to switch from an iPhone to an S3 and he called me yesterday explaining that he is having trouble getting all MMS text messages ( and sometimes regular texts too). He eventually gets them but they are hours later. He is using Go SMS but the stock messaging app is not working any better.
I went through all my settings with him to make sure he was set up the same as I am and he was. So I cannot figure out why he is getting all his MMS texts so late.
Sometimes he gets a message that says there is a media download and gives and expiration time but there is no attachment with it.
Anyone have any ideas?

I had the same issue when I switched from iPhone to my s3.... Ask him if his mobile data is ON. if not the phone will not download the attachment even if on wifi the mobile data has to be on for it to work.
Also make sure his data plan has been changed to a lte plan.

Make sure that the date, time, and time zone settings are correct
I switched from the iphone 4 to the SIII and I too had this same issue.
My buddy who also had an iphone was trying to text me but I would get it hours late. Remember when Iphone users could start messaging each other without the cost of text? I have a strong feeling this was the issue. I actually didn't do anything to fix the problem, it last about 5 days and with enough usage of the phone I finally started to get my texts on time.
Good morning everyone and Happy New Year!
Does anyone have issue with Text Message being slow? I'm using the stock Message App come with AT&T. It always take about at least 3 or 4 second to complete the sending (i.e. the spinning circle on every text). No matter how short or long the text is. Especially, group text is very slow. I think it's not the Network issue because I had Note 3 before and never have the issue.
Might do you some good to reprogram your phone. I do not know the number you dial for reprogramming though... Call AT&T or visit a local store.
I don't have issues with slow text messages myself. I have issues with my phone just randomly not getting them until I reboot. Any text messages sent between the time it stopped getting them and I reboot are lost. Not sure what causes it to happen. Happened a few times within a month then went months without happening and then just recently happened again...
