Incorrect Timestamp for SMS.

---

Hello,

I currently have the G1 phone unlocked and using Fido (Canadian carrier) as my carrier.

The problem I am having is with the Timestamp for SMS messages only.

When I receive a message, the time shows it as 4 hours behind.

What seems to be going on is that T-mobile probably sends all the messages GMT time from their network and has the phone adjust the timezone according to your location and Timezone.

Fido on the other hand does all the timezone adjustments from the network side, so when my phone receives it, it process's it again another -4 hours (Please note that is my current timezone).

Can someone look into the OS for SMS and see if this is correct? If it is, I'd really love a way to repair this.

Thank you

Same problem........

Same Same!

Hey,

I've got the Dev phone 1, unlocked on Rogers. Similar issue with the SMS timestamp. All incoming SMS are timestamped 5 hours prior to when they were sent. I don't get it.

That fix will work but your calendar events will be messed up. I posted a reply on the thread you linked.

i have been trying to find a way to fix this problem as it is driving me mad lol
so this is what i have come up with so far. the apk Mms.apk is what handles both sms and mms messages. i used baksmali to disassemble the classes.dex after renaming it to .zip and un-zipping. inside there is a dumped class called SmsReciever.smali. inside i found many references to timezones and timestamps etc. i know nothing about java or smali. i did however come upon a possible solution. if someone who was knowledgeable and skilled could append the time retrieval function to resemble: get current time zone, find difference between that and gmt -5, time = result + difference. should work i would think, i may be wrong .. the lines i found of interest are here
