SMS time stamp Fix

---

Wrong time on SMS messages.

especially on the Rogers network in Canada

this should work with all roms though so far i only tested it on My Hero 1.1.3

Instructions:

1. ---- Go to Settings > Date & Time
2. ---- Disable Automatic
3. ---- Go to "Select Time Zone"

4. ---- **** IMPORTANT ****

Start at time zone 0:00 - check your SMS time stamps (use a recent one and compare, it also helps if you temporarily use 24 hour time until you find your time zone)

then move up to +1:00 and see if the time stamp gets closer to what it should be, if it gets closer, move to +2:00 and check again,
+3:00, +4:00 etc.

if not go to -1:00 and check, -2:00, -3:00, -4:00 etc.


5. --- After you find your time zone, fix the date and then your done


**KNOWN ISSUE*** your appointments may have the wrong time!! so you might have to move some of them to the proper time!!


For Alberta the Time zone to fix SMS is -2:00

please post settings for different areas

reserved **

There is a app in the market called smsfixtimes and its working with all the recent hero/sense roms I have tried recently. And if you use this program all your other times in the phone won't get messed up (ie. gmail, exchange email and calender)

Worked!!! Thank you man. That was one of the biggest things bugging me about the Hero ROM but and the timezone fix wasn't what i wanted (my calender and emails were off).

Now just to fix the camera button back to the camera button instead of search.

Ya I tried this app a few times, it seems to work at first but it always seems to bugg out and revert back to the wrong time stamps. (running My Hero 1.1.3)

yeah but what if it timestamps it with the wrong year? mine shows today as 7/7/16

So I tried this fix. It did not work for me. Im in Hawaii and my incoming sms are 1 hour off. If I change my time zone one hour in one way it makes no difference then further that way and its 2 hours off. But if I go the other way it is 2 hours off.

My phone is a Sprint branded TP2 it was like this when using this phone on sprint network and also when using my straight talk sim card in it. I think the networks think we participate in the daylight savings thing. Well we dont. Our time never changes. It seems to be correct during the winter months.
