Anyone has this problem... phone notifies me of a new text msg, I go to my inbox, and find I have to scroll down to find the new message. It seems as if the time of arrival is like 5 hours earlier. I know the msg was not sent then because its a reply to a message I just sent! Is there a fix for this? Or is it a network issue? Then the next message I get has the correct time. Freakin weird!
Thanks! |

That is what worked for me.... It is quite frustrating. |

check your time zone in your phone... rarely is the default to the phone correct.
If you ActiveSync with a PC verify that your PC time zone is correct also or ActiveSync with change it again on you to your PC setting. |

I really don't want to reset and have to reload/reset everything.

I'm using Rogers. I really think it's Rogers fault. Are all y'all that are having problems with the wrong time using Rogers/Fido as well?

Caveman, I'm on Rogers as well and my SMS is off by 4 hrs. I checked cabs and other install /hacks on howard forums and xda developers and no luck. Best temp workaround I found is to set your auto update time to Off, put your time zone to Casablanca and set the time and date yourself manually. SMS will now come in at the proper timestamp. CON: When you connect to your PC, your phone jumps ahead 4 hrs while doing the active sync and u have to change it back when done. I keep looking around for solutions. This prob only began during the DST switch in the spring, wonder if it corrects itself in the fall when we roll back an hour. |

Yeah, I noticed this problem when we switched to PDT as well. For a while the phone kept changing its timezone and going back to PST (one hour off) but now the time stays fixed but SMS are 4 hours off and SMS from MSN are 6 hours off. Anyway, thanks again for the tip. |

when traveling even 10 miles down the road, i sometimes get this problem. Mine is usually only behind an hour or so, but this is a problem with your network, not your phone. The only thing your phone is doing is swiching cell towers, which appearently dont have the same time.

I've been having the same problem on my unlocked i617 (BJ2) on the Rogers network. If I put the SIM card in another phone, the SMS timestamps are accurate. However, all received text messages are off by 4 hours in my i617, yet the sent ones have the right time stamp.
I've tried a hard reset and that did NOT fix the problem. I tried the "fix" that involved manually changing the time as mentioned, but that screwed up all my appointment times in my schedule/calendar. So that was no good either. Calling Rogers doesn't help because they just blame the unlocked phone, and won't support it. What now? |

I was hoping the switch back of Daylight Savings Time would fix this problem since it first
began in spring when the DST switch occurred. I put all my phone settings back to eastern US, auto update time to ON. Sent myself a txt msg from Rogers web site and it's 5 hrs off. Grrr.... I've scoured the internet, so far no working solution for BJ2 users. |
