[Q] Delivery reports timestamp issue - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi guys,
Am having an issue with delivery reports timestamp on the nexus. The problem is i don't get any actual delivered timestamp. So, say for example i send a text to somebody who has their phone turned off I will get the circle clock icon next to the message. When the person turns their phone on this will then go green indicating it has been delivered. The problem is I have no idea what time the message was delivered as the only timestamp it puts on it is the actual time I sent the message and not the delivery time. I have tried all the usual view report view message details etc. but none of them indicate the actual time the message was delivered. Am on 4.0.4 - it was the same on 4.0.2 and I have tried handsent or stock messaging app and its the same with both. Can anyone advise?

probably a stupid question but, did u activate the delivery reports in the sms app?

Yes everything seems to be the way it should be. I am actually getting the delivery reports - its just that they don't have a delivered time on them only a sent time

SMS delivery reports

Hi all,
i recently got a desire on vodafone uk, i have found that i fail to recieve sms delivery reports whenever i send a text.
the box is checked in the sms settings but i still dont get any reports (although the texts do go through)
has anyone else had this problem? is it a handset problem or a network problem?
Are you sure? As far as i can tell you dont get a pop up, just an icon that appears in the corner of the message you just sent. Long press on the message and you get a list of options, one is View Report.
oh brilliant! i didn't realise that was the delivery report, ive just upgraded from the touch diamond where i would get an actual pop up msg notification.
cheers for your help.
It confused me to. While its not as nice as the Nokia pop up method, its better than the Winmo way, which is basically a full message, that i found really annoying.
Is there hack to show delivery pop ups or notifications
I don't want to use HANDCENT app
I was using opendesire ROM (4.0.36) later with original android mms app and it had that option (so cool ) it wasn't even showing the message icon before it was delivered.
(If you don't understand what I explained about opendesire ROM check it yourself)
AND NO I don't want to use opendesire ROMs too , although they are nice and frequently updated.
Issue 1801: Delivery report status icon for MMS/SMS
While "view report" works, displayed icon is not actually delivery notification. It is sent notification. It seems to be Android bug, not HTC's fault.

All I'm saying that this is fixed in Opendesire ROMs (try it!) isn't there a way to fix it on for example Modaco ROMs?

SMS Delivery reports

Anyone got these working consistently? Might my problems be due to also having ChompSMS and Handcent installed? I'm on O2 PAYG in the UK if that makes a difference...
I have them on the default program, my only issue is you need to check each message in the thread that you have sent to identify if it has been received ...
O2 never used to support delivery reports, not sure if they do now, but they didnt last time i had an O2 contract.

Can you explain us please how to do that?
working fine here with the default sms program. But then again I am on t-mobile.
I also never used to get delivery reports the last time i used o2, but that was 4-5 years ago now...

please explain!
O2 don't support the delivery reports option in your phone.
However, if you start your text with *0# you will get a delivery report (and the recipient won't see the *0# bit)

Gooodness.... I seem to remember that workaround from the Cellnet days!
Delivery reports work fine for me Tmobile UK, and Handcent. Previously worked fine in Chomp also.
O2 in Ireland had no problems with delivery reports. Using the default program. Only annoying thing is that the icon for report doesn't change from pending to received. It's just the same all the time and have to check manually for each msg the delivery status.
Haven't found the setting for status bar notification for delivery report, only for received, sent and failed to send.
Just an FYI, but for me (on T-Mobile), MMS delivery reports always seem to say "Pending" whilst SMS delivery reports are fine.
Then about 2 days later I'll get a random report that something was delivered or failed. But because of the amount of MMS I send, I never find out what it may be referring to.
Plus, Handcent has an issue sending and receiving MMS so I removed it and went back to default.
So you may get different report responses for SMS and MMS.
How do I get this to appear in the notification bar?
Forgot I posted this! Thanks for the replies folks.

SMS Disappearance

Hello
So I have experienced my first "bug" with my GN (or maybe it's ICS?)
I was browsing in chrome when I noticed at the bottom it said "message received" in an overlay. As you do when you get a message while using the phone.
What didn't happen was it didn't scroll through the message at the top of the screen in the status bar. I thought it was a bit weird. So I opened my messages and nothing new was there. It didnt make any sound either, so I thought I was crazy and moved on.
As I was having a conversation with my partner at the time, she messaged me a few mins later wondering what my response was and I told her I didn't receive anything at all.
This is quite concerning. The phone most definitely recognised I got a message but it didn't show up. She said she sent 2 messages. Has anyone else experienced something similar?
We're both on the same network if its even possible this could be a carrier issue.
The "message received by <phone number>" toast message at the bottom of the screen is the other party receiving one of your messages. You turn this on in Messaging > Settings > Delivery reports. This will show next to the time stamp of every sent message in a thread the SMS icon with a green check mark over it whenever the message is confirmed to be received by the other party
You not receiving messages is a different issue. Try installing something like "Ghostly SMS" to see if your phone is losing SMS messages. I haven't heard of this as an issue in ICS yet.

Possible Odd SMS Glitch?

Hello all,
So my wife is telling me she is having a weird issue with her S3. I haven't gotten a chance to diagnose it myself so I figured I would check with you all to see if anyone has noticed this.
She is saying that she will send me a text message and when I respond a few seconds later my text response will display before the text she originally sent me. This seems to only happen when I respond quickly. She is also informing me that, as of right now, she sent a message with the timestamp 9:37. The response she got from me (again, I responded quickly) shows the timestamp of 9:36 and is appearing before her message I responded to.
Has anyone experienced this issue before? Let me know if I am being unclear.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT:
Also, she is not rooted or anything. The phone is in as-bought condition minus whatever she installed from the Play Store. She is using the default messenger.

I'm not sure about the stock one, but some SMS apps have the ability to either order texts by 1) the time the sending phone says it was sent, or 2) the time your phone actually received it. My guess is this is a result of a slight difference in the time on both of your devices and her phone is ordering them by originating timestamp, not receiving.
If it's not an option in the stock MMS app, I know a few of the alternative apps in the Play Store offer this "fix".
That's a good point. I am on Verizon and she is on AT&T. Maybe there is a slight time difference and this is causing things to come in out of order. I'll have to check that out.
Mine does it on occasion but fixes itself later on. Both my Captivate and my S II dud it as well. I'm not too worried about it.
Sent from my Marble White SAMSUNG SGH-I747 using xda-developers app
my s2 and s3 do this when i'm at my parents house. I think what happens is the towers time is behind on the tower you're on. That's what I've kind of concluded since it only happens at my parents house.

[Q] SMS Delivery Reports Inconsistency

Has anyone else noticed their delivery reports not completing? Most of the time, it works, but I find that if I send a couple texts in a row or receive a text in the middle of sending one that the status of the delivery report will be "Unsuccessful" or "Requested". In one particular outlier, a delivery report came back days later.
I'm on Wicked v7 and tried it in both Stock SMS and Go SMS. I speculate that the load comes too quick or what have you but it shouldn't be a problem on a phone this fast. I figured I'd see if someone else has (or hasn't) noticed the same thing before I try another ROM.
