SMS timestamp issue - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I'm having a SMS timestamp issue since rooting and installing SenseUI rom and CM rom.
Note, this did -not- happen on the stock n1 rom. I'm currently in China using China Mobile so I haven't been able to test this back in the states (TMobile) yet.
Basically, when I send a message to anyone (android, iphones, etc), their received timestamp of my message is 7-8 minutes in the past. Obviously this is quite the annoyance for threaded messages on smartphones. I can replicate this by sms'ing my own phone and the timestamp of the received message is 8 minutes before I sent it.
I've tried everything I can think of. I've even nandroid restored my original backup and the issue is still happening. I've turned on/off the "get time from network" settings, updated radio and redowngraded, tried 3-4 different roms, but nothing is working.
Anyone seen this before or have any ideas? Frustrating the hell out of me!

anyone have any ideas?

[Q] Unable to Send SMS suddenly

Hi Peeps,
For some strange reason my SGS has decided to stop sending sms. After hitting send the messages just get stuck on "sending"
I have checked the message centre number and the mms setting just in case. I have tried the sim in an old nokia and it texts just fine.
It was having intermittent issues with sms around a week ago, where it wouldnt send a message, so i would send the same one again and then both would send simultaneously. However now its not sending at all.
I am running Froyo.xwjp6 with kernel 2.6.32.9.
I have also tried instaling Handcent SMS but i just get the error "message not sent"
Thoughts on a postcard?
Same here, although trying handcent has allowed me to send, but strangely, will intermittently fail, im sure its a froyo bug.

I managed to fix it. Couldn't be bothered with trying to reflash the modem or even the os, so tried the Privacy-return to factory settings option just out of curiosity. Can't figure out what it did exactly but when it rebooted i had not lost any settings or applications, and all my home screen app shortcuts were still there. The only discernable difference was the lack of gadgets on the home screen, which I had to reinstall.
The important thing however is that messaging worked again. God knows why.
One susipicion I have is that this is due to my usage of Titanium Backup. I installed it when i was running Eclair, and each time i upgrade the OS i use it to restore my old system data and apps. Perhaps some change between Eclair and Froyo's messaging settings is being overwritten by and older version by Titanium. I suspect this as following the above factory restore I tried a Titanium restore and instantly it broke my messaging again. So I did the factory again and got them back. There wasn't really any need to use Titanium as I said before I didn't seem to lose any setting or apps, but did it anyway out due to that old cat's friend curiosity
Give it a go if u dare and see what happens
Let me know how u get on...
Ok so im still having the same problem.is there really noone out there with an idea?

[Q] SMS / Text Message Timestamps Incorrect

Hi Guys,
I've been searching and searching and I cant find anyone with the same problem as me, on WP7 or HD7. Basically the times are completely wack on the text messages i receive. The could be a few hours behind, or usually entire days behind, and my personal favorite, from the future.
No idea what's going on. Everything seems fine in the settings - been over them 100 times. I've seen it as being a common issue with some older phones, but nothing on the latest ones.
Has anyone had this? Or even better, does anyone know how to fix it? The text messages that I send are stamped correctly, so it's just the ones i receive. It looks like the phone is using the time sent from the carrier, and then applying some wacky timezone to it based off my timezone (which is Auckland, New Zealand).
Help!

[Q] SMS sometimes sent to an unknown/wrong number?! Extremely strange..

Hi,
this never happened to me before on my Legend.
I'm using handcent sms, but don't know if it has something to do with that, with the OS (used handcent on my Legend too) or my carrier provider.
When I write loads of sms with a friend, it happened already 3 times that suddenly I got a reply from someone completely unknown (unknown number), informing me about that he/she (wrongly) received this sms from me that should have been sent to my friend. My friend then didn't get that sms, although it's correctly listed in the appropriate sms "thread" for my friend's contact and NOT in the new thread created for this unknown number.
Has anyone experienced this before?
I think it's even more strange since this number isn't in my contacts and it's completely unrelated (not just a few numbers swapped, but a completely different carrier).
Has anyone experienced something like that?
This happened to me 2 times on stock Froyo and yesterday on Gingerbread..
Thanks for any help
Max
That's due to a bug with Android itself.
This was fixed with version 2.3.3, so if you get your self a GB(2.3.3) rom, all will be good.
That's strange, I'm already on gingerbread.. still it happened yesterday or the day before.
Handcent is your culprit!
Got myself into a LOT of trouble with the right msg going to the wrong person... LOL
get yourself chomp which is better in this aspect
or use the default app..

Go SMS / receiving multiple

I've been having issues with Go SMS, where every incoming message I get will be timestamped incorrectly (like 6 hours prior) and will therefore show up at the beginning of each respective conversation list. That issue only exists in Go SMS, the stock messenger app and Chomp work just fine so I'm sticking with Chomp for now. (don't lecture me on why one is better than another, I'm not here for that)
I've also been receiving messages multiple times over the last couple of days. I don't recall it being an issue until just one or two days ago and it's only once in a blue moon, but the same message will come in 3 or 4 times, and it happens with different people, whether my phone is already on or if it's off. Can't seem to find a common denominator here.
Just wondering if anyone else has run into either of these issues yet. If it's something that factory resetting and re-flashing doesn't help, I'll return it for a different one.
Same problem here. It has to do with the delivery reports. You'll notice if you turn them off the timestamps will be correct.
I've tried changing the 'change delivery offset' option which is somewhere in the GOSMS settings, but it only works 50% of the time..... I checked in my stock messaging app AND handcent SMS and the delivery reports don't work there either (it shows as Unsuccessful in Handcent, and a red icon in Stock Messaging). I've read somewhere around here that if you are having trouble with SMS, your sim card is most likely bad.
If any other users could tell us if their delivery reports work/don't work, we can sort of narrow it down to either a bionic problem, or just the sim card.
Gotcha, I'll play with delivery reports and see what happens. I didn't run into this issue with my Charge though, and I'm using the same SIM. I'll report back soon.
I had the multi message issue about a week ago, but after the Go SMS update last week it stopped. Haven't had it since and have not noticed a timestamp issue personally.
I have the latest version of GoSMS and it still does it, coincidentally for certain contacts though, mostly those on other networks.

I restarted my phone this morning and now everyone that I receive a message from, comes in 3-4 times every other message I receive... WTF.

From one contact I can only get mms messages. Odd.

Ok, I've got something odd going on and to be honest I'm not sure if it's a T-Mobile Nexus 6 based issue or something on the other end (Oneplus One).
I have one contact in particular that can receive sms and mms messages from me with no issue but I can only receive mms messages from him. If it's a standard sms I never get it. It's really odd. Considering he can get both types from me but not the other way around makes me wonder if the issue is on my end.
I just updated to 5.1.1 and still no change. This was with a factory reset and not restoring the old data either (so nothing corrupted came from the update).
This happens regardless of what messaging program I use (Textra, stock messaging app, etc).
Anyone have any suggestions?
I would expect it to be more network than phone. Try and get a test sim from another provider in your phone.
