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?

Hi new to forum and to the world of the smart phone ( so please be kind )
I picked up my new phone yesterday HTC Desire
so far so good but one thing annoys me that i cant fix
The phonebook is rubbish as it the first name of the person is not the first word in the phone book
as in :- John Smith Mobile is :- Mobile Smith John
is there any way to switch this round ??
Thanks
Funnily enough, I was just about to post some issues about the phone book and you beat me to it!
With regards to the swapping round of first/last names, I think your only option is to go in and manually change each entry. I've had this before and in GMail (I think) is makes a good guess what is first and last name. Sometimes when syncing between devices and the cloud, especially on the first time, the devices don't agree what is first and what is the last name.
Though I hope I'm wrong and you don't have to manually change everything.

I am not very good with phones (but I am learning )
I also hope we don't have to manually change as i have over 200 people on my phone book.
Believe me, I feel your pain. I'm decently versed in how syncing contacts can mess up as I've done it to varying degrees on past phones.
I've had all contacts duplicated and had to sit there for the evening deleting contacts. Over dinner, deleting contacts.
I've had to go in manually and correct contacts and change around details.
Probably the biggest piece of advice I can give you or anyone, is:
Before you do anything major, even syncing with a new device, backup (export) your online contacts!
And then:
When you've got your contacts nice and sweet synced between online/mobile device/whatever, backup your contacts!!!
You get a lot more leway for the future!
I had to spend about 40 minutes sorting out my contact list the other day.
Glad I took the time to actually go through and do it, as all my contacts are linked and organised properly, definitely worth doing.
I have just done the same now
how do you put a photo to the number?

Just replied in your thread, but will stick it here too:
People > Tap on the name > Edit > Tap on the camera icon in the top left.
thanks I'm getting there...
Will take a few days to get used to it
Does anyone else have a problem with the some of the contact names 'resetting'?
I originally copied over all contacts from my SIM, and have since linked most of them up to their Facebook profiles. I have set the display name to be the one listed on Facebook, and this works perfectly for the majority.
A couple of contacts keep going back to their name on the SIM, have no idea why...
Ok, so i was out at the pubs a couple of weeks back... accessed the messaging app and noticed one particular thread wasn't showing my contact's name anymore but just the number. Went into people and this contact just wasn't there anymore. I obviously noticed who the person was since i could read the thread so i just re-added the person. Since I was out and all I figured I must have somehow hit some sort of key combination and deleted the contact so I just forgot about it all.
Yesterday, I was texting this same person again when I got another text... opened the thread again and the number starts showing up again! Back into people, and you guessed it... the contact just isn't there!?
Errr, anyone noticed anything similair
If it hadn't been calling/texting this person I wouldn't have noticed its been deleted.
Yep! I'm having exactly the same problem and always the same contact!
It now seems to have cured itself after I re-added the contact through google mail on my pc and let it sync accross. Very weird... and annoying!

So it's not me just imagining stuff! How could it possibly just bloody delete a contact on its own!? I'm starting to think it might have deleted other contacts as well but I didn't notice because I haven't tried calling them/texting them recently!
This is very very irritating...
Well I had a similar problem with a contact disapering and found the problem.
It was linking the contact with another contact, his number was in the other contacts details but his name was not apearing, I only found out as I added it again and it disaperead straight away but when i rang the number manually it showed the other name it was linked with.
As soon as I cleared the link the contact went back in line with the others. Cant be sure thats your problem but I would guess its fairly lightly to be.

Hmm, well the contact isn't linked with any other as it doesn't show when you go to 'Link'. Also, in the messaging app, if the number does exist with another name I would expect it to show the other contact's name not just the number.
It's still fine today after re-adding it yesterday but same happened last time, it only deleted itself after about 3 weeks!
Hey,..
You know the icon you get in your notification bar when the phone found a link between facebook contacts and phone contacts and whatsapp contacts ect.,
Then you click link it or dismiss.
I like this and works well.
but the last couple of day its been failing and annoying me.
there are 4 contacts its keep asking me to link.
over and over again.
doesnt matter if i link or dismiss.
i went tot the user in my phone list and linked them, seems to be good.
and then some time later it asks me again..
everytime the same 4.
Anyone else have this or know what this might be?
Its really really really annoying!
Thanx m8's!
On my phone I notice it appears briefly then goes away again a second later, like it's loading the info. It's never really bothered me though.
Have you tried deleting the 4 contacts and then adding them again?
I had the same problem for weeks...I had o2 listed in my contacts with various numbers (customer services, top up, overseas cs etc etc)
bugged me so much as no matter what i did, dismiss or request link it would keep coming back listing the same contact multiple times...ended up deleting the contact and not replacing ...didnt happen again ..
same here... whatsapp repetatively notifies me of contact links although they are already linked and there - drives me nuts. what should I delete? the contact on the phone or the contact on whatsapp ??!?

I don't get it.. Do you mean you experience lags when searching in contacts?
i mean when i entered contact list and i start searching for certain name by typing letters it appears in contact list then i tap on it to dial the number it does not respond or scroll

Might be lagging. Try maintaining your contact list via Google.com/contacts
Remove unused contacts so that it responds and loads faster
i tried to delete all contacts and import it again from my pc then used importcontacts.apk but the same problem ..... could u explain how to maintain my contact list via Google.com/contacts.
my main concern is the problem i am facing a hardware problem or software????

Sync your contacts via Settings -> accounts -> your google account -> click on the right button of each item
Delete your google account from your device
Open google.com/contacts and delete unused or double contacts
Re add your google account
For the usage of Google Contacts.. you might want to Google about it
I'm on mobile right now ^^
thx but u didn't answer me about my main concern that is it a hardware or software problem???
impossible if it's hardware problem

it just the contacts, load much data that causing lag.. if you clear your contact, what happened? try.. if there's no lag, why we made a wrong hypotesis that is the hardware problem.. so I said, IMPOSSIBLE if it's hardware problem..

Well I don't know if this helps or not but I occasionally get lag when calling in CM9 but it occasionally happens although it doesn't happen often so i'm not sure if its such a big problem or not.
Easy explanation if contacts aint the only slow app...LAG...LAG...and more LAG! Its already said...its isnt hardware or software problem if it dosnt fc. Even happens to me with another one of my devices. Brand spanking new, quad core phone...and it still lags everyday...thats your proof that it isnt a problem.
