I must have had a good new years if I didn't make it here until 22 pages in.

And yes, Mighty 6 Alltel TP on V; 2016 here also. Time to read these two hundred some odd posts and see if there is a fix.

:P

Tried this on my TP1 on Sprint ROM and it had no effect - the problem still persists.

Yup. Same Here. VZW TP2 running WAR. Also for some reason my text msgs are in the begining of the conversation and the persons are at he bottom if that makes any sense. Even tho its the threaded view. The txt messages are out of order.... weird......

Just tried that on Sprint, sent myself a text, and it was dated 1/1/16. I'm still texting myself from the future. (I should have texted myself the 2010 Superbowl winner)

Actually, "technically" they are in order. Because the ones you are RECIEVING (being dated 1/1/2016) are being read by the program as coming after the ones you are SENDING (being dated 1/1/2010).

...if that makes sense.

ok well mine just went back to 2016... it worked for 4 msgs and is now back saying its 1/1/2016

Yea, I thought of that before I fully understood the issue. Since the problem is only limited to incoming texts and thus associated with data coming along with the text, changing the time locally wouldn't have any bearing.

I'm still interested in knowing if the problem will be fixed when tomorrow comes (1/2/10).
