Texts coming in but time is 3 hours late

[wyldstallyns2589]

stock ROM.

i'm getting texts just fine but randomly it will decide to time stamp them 3 hours earlier, so if i have a bunch of texts i have to scroll through them all until i find the new one that it thinks was sent 3 hours ago. it is pretty annoying. anyone know how to fix this? soft reset didn't do anything.

[Rudegar]

it's often the networks fault when sms's are delay'd
i would try putting the sim in another phone for testing

[thepsychosasha]

since yesterday ive been getting random texts with the timestamp 3 hrs earlier, and i also have to scroll thru to find it. my computer did something to the phone yesterday and basically deleted anything synced and then resynced. its been doing this ever since.

weird that we would get this same problem at the same time.
this is really annoying

[Bartok620]

Not to beat the horse but i've been having the same problem since this morning. Everything was fine all day and night yesterday. I've received about 8 texts or so since 8am EST this morning (it's now 2:20pm EST) and about 3 of the texts have had the problem. Pretty annoying. Assuming it's the network like someone previously suggested.

[wyldstallyns2589]

the person said the network was delivering them late. that has happened before too, but these are being delivered on time, but the time stamp is 3 hours before the text was sent. since 3 of us had the same problem starting yesterday or around then, it must have something to do with the network, even though the messages are being delivered on time, it is just the time stamp that is wrong.

weird.

[thepsychosasha]

yeah i thought it was something wrong with my particular phone but now since all three of us are having issues i feel "better".

hopefully t-mobile fixes this soon, its really annoying **crosses fingers**

[Bartok620]

Yeah, and the wierd thing is that it seems like it's only happening with specific contacts too. Looks like it's happening with only two people out of the 7 people that have texted me today.

[wyldstallyns2589]

yeah it's weird, but only 2 people have texted me today, and only one of them messed up, while both contacts messed up yesterday

[cookiemonster55]

this has also been happening to me, what phone service do you guys have, i have tmobile

[kibbles-n-bits]

I just thought my phone took a crap. but with the above posts I guess it was the network. mms are always late but this is a first for sms. tmobile needs serious improvement on their network issues

[Xim23]

Maybe the Network Wizard will fix the problem? Just thought I'd throw that in there. :o

[wyldstallyns2589]

well my network settings are set the way tmobile set them, so i don't think it's anything we can fix on our end. it is them.

[tuffmek]

Im having the same problem since about yesturday, and my carrier is t-mobile,
so I think it has something to do with them.

[ayanti]

Not to beat that already dead horse, but just to reiterate, I too have t-mobile and I have been receiving text exactly 3 hours late. It is very annoying and I am calling t-mobile ATM. Thanks for letting me know it isnt just me.

[wyldstallyns2589]

tell us what they say. last night it was nuts for me. i would get a text with the proper time stamp, and then one 3 hours earlier (but you know, it was actually received at the the present) and then one from the same person that would have an accurate time stamp

They told me that it was "only your issue and no one else in your area has complained about it." They offered to send me a new sim card but it seems like it must be a network issue and not a hardware one because we are all experiencing the same thing. Could it only be modded phones? I changed the rom on mine, been meaning to for a while. I cant say if it has happened again cause I havent gotten a message :-X

I live on the Northeats and was previously running Touch-IT 5.0.

[wyldstallyns2589]

you should have told them that there are reports on the internet of people having the same issues.

i'm in the southeast with the newest stock ROM. so it is definitely a network thing, not hardware or modded issues.

i'd call myself but i'm not the account holder and they make you give all these account numbers SSN and crap

[kibbles-n-bits]

well in addition to the time stamp being wrong now my sms are coming in 24 hrs late. I am afraid to ask whats next.

[wyldstallyns2589]

wow. mine are just 3 hour late timestamps. what is going on here?

[h4xdaplanet]

I have also been getting delayed texts... sometimes like 10 minutes but can be up to like 9 hours late. I live in Seattle, WA

[robpet2]

its probably from tmo trying to work on getting 3g rolled out - sprint was going thru the same thing a few weeks ago, my roomate was getting text like 5 hours later...

[enigmablack]

This problem started about 4 months ago for me, at first it was the wrong time stamp, then I would not get txts from some people or they would get mines late, mostly those on Verizon. After calling tmob, they said no one else experienced the issue and blamed it on Verizon, so I decided to get a new phone. The issue went away until last week, now it's the same thing, wrong time stamps and delayed txts. It's really annoying and I know if I call them they will have me go through ridiculous tests that may cause me to lose all my contact info... sigh...

[wyldstallyns2589]

back up your contacts? there are no tests needing to be done, it is them. there is no way that all of us magically had something go wrong with our phones. and it doesn't matter if you're on stock or not either. it is them.

luckily it isn't really a HUGE deal, it is tolerable, just annoying. but they need to fix it soon.

anyone think they are doing this to wings on purpose to try and get us to buy the new MDA Varios that are coming out? i know sprint pulls that kind of crap, they stop supporting phones before your minimum 2 year contract is up so that you'll buy a new phone, requiring a new contract.

[herkulez]

I, like everyone else here, am also having this problem with the t-mobile wing. I called yesterday and they tried to get me to do all this hard reset crap, which i lied about and said I already tried. I'm running everything stock on my phone except i have it overclocked @ 260 with batterystatus. At very random times, I will receive a text message with a time stamp that is 3 hours earlier. I live in north florida, which is Eastern time zone.



Just a side note, since i'm already here--has anyone else had a problem with the volume (notification noises such as received text message) of the phone shutting off when you open the phone while you receive a text message or at other awkward times such as when you are texting and you receive a text message? This has been happening and the only way to get it to work again is to reset the phone =-/.....

[wyldstallyns2589]

my sounds and vibrate will stop randomly, i don't know what triggers it, but it will stop. i just have to go into the phone options and "test" my ringtone and it works again

[enigmablack]

Yup I have the same volume issues. It started with the MDA around the same time as the text issues, then I switched to the Wing, and now that you mention it, shortly after I started having volume issues, the text issues started again.

[wyldstallyns2589]

well i've always had the volume issue happen randomly, i think it has something to do with how long you keep the phone on, because it seems to take a while to mess up after a soft reset.

[enigmablack]

I called tmob this morning because I've gotten too fed up. I explained the two issues, the time stamp issue as well as the delay issue. The tech I spoke to said the engineers started working on the time stamp issue this morning and that other customers in my area have also been complaining about the text delays. She didn't say whether or not the delay issue is being worked on or not. But at least both issues are known to them so they won't have customers go through any annoying resets.

[Tihor]

So how do we fix this?

Do we just notify our SP and tell them that it's acting up?
