[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\SMS]
"RecvTimeStamp"=dword:00000001

According to Scientific, "It works like a Champ"

EDIT: The other option for 2.5.1922 native HTC Messaging users -
Software\Jataayu\Messaging\SMS\UseSystemTimeAsRecv Time dword:1
Haven't tested this one, just found it earlier today.

EDIT2: Here's 2 screen shots.

EDIT3: Attached is a CAB with both keys in it.

EDIT4: If anyone is really interested, this is how VZW's Stock rom has it set, check 85d93f55-898d-45d5-998d-221fc1f2fd8a.rgu in the OperatorOKG. Calkulin 1.3 and SSK 3.2 also have the same settings. It's also in PPCKitchen.org BuildOS, at least in the VZW Carrier rgu.

Thanks for the work ziggy.. but your screen shots don't show the year. Has this fix just eliminated the year in the time stamp or changed the date to the PROPER year?

EDIT: I back read a few posts and I think they answer my question. Thanks

Seems to have worked on my end

This is awesome! Thanks so much! It's working on my TP2 and my brothers Treo Pro!

Wanna know something funny. All of my new years day text messages show 01/01/10. And I never installed this workaround. I consider this cab or reg edit a workaround not a fix. I think the network will fix itself.

yeah its deff a workaround, although its a fairly good one. Its quite possible that some people would prefer the timestamp method used in this workaround as opposed to using the date received with the text.

It really comes down to would you rather the timestamp be:
1. when the person actually sent it (which is the one that is off by 6 years right now)
or
2. when you actually received it

Its really just a personal preference that we were not given the option to change previously.

For 99% of your texts the time difference wont matter, but I'm pretty sure if you had your phone off, or there was a delay in receiving the text for some reason (which happens from time to time, not specific to the TP2, but can happen to any phone) the time will be different.

I use to have a phone that almost every text would be timestamped 3 or 4 minutes earlier then when I actually got it (which would mean it took me 3 or 4 minutes to get the text, or someone's clock is off).
