Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

I just got off the phone with Sprint Business Support and the Rep I spoke to indicated that it is a HTC issue and are attempting to reach them in an effort to work this issue out.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

mine just show the time as usual, stock rom verizon.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

more false info. The HoFo link showed LG phones having the same problem. I wonder how long this issue is gonna last.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

There are threads on various forums about this. It's a Windows Mobile issue, not specifically HTC. Someone posted about an LG WM device with the problem, and people on various carriers have reported it. I guess we'll just have to deal with it until someone can find a solution. Hopefully it doesn't take too long.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

So when you go into your all msging and click on a threaded convo with someone, everything is fine?? That's hard to believe..

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

my text messages are not sayng that but is saying 1/1 from those im recieving a text from then mine say the time,

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

I guess I fail to understand how this would be a hardware-specific issue? Or was the assertion that it's somehow related to HTC-produced software code (Sense)?

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

Agreed, I have an untouched VZW TP2 showing this bug and it persists following hard reset.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

This is NOT a HTC problem...this is happening with many windows mobile devices.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

I have two phones: Touch Pro W/ Window Mobile 6.1 CE OS 5.2.19965 Build 19965.1.2.3 (Stock OS)
AND
Touch Pro 2 W/ Windows Mobile 6.5 CE OS 5.2.21887 Build 21887.5.0.86 (Mighty ROM WAR)

Touch Pro exhibits this behavior:
using windows text messaging, in the list of threaded messages (groups) all INCOMING messages display 2016. If I click on the threaded text which displays all messages in that group, each individual INCOMING text shows the correct date.

Touch Pro 2 exhibits this behavior:
using HTC text messaging, in the list of threaded messages (groups) the dates shows correctly, if I select a threaded message and look at each individual message in that group the date for INCOMING is 2016, outgoing is the correct date.

Looks like a HTC/Windows 6.x comination issue. I dont see any posts showing issues with other phones running winmo 6.x (may be wrong though)

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

I'm 100% stock, just activated my phone two days ago and it's got the 2016 issue. It certainly isn't life threatening but it is a bit annoying. Hope the fix comes soon.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

pretty sure my stores Samsung Intrepid is doing it as well, Ill check

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

Well I am not using touch flo, I use spb shell and I have it use the default messaging client.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

Didn't you just prove that it's an HTC error because it's their viewer that is having the problem?

The microsoft viewer is using whatever settings you have set in regional settings to display the date/time, as does HTC.

Interestingly enough mine only started showing 2016 after 2:00am EST - prior to that I got messages in fine with the correct 10/01/01 date. After 2am they started displaying with 16/01/01!

Also my GF's S720 may also have the problem - incoming messages are displaying (1/1) instead of their usual time. She's running WM6.1 stock Telus ROM.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

Nope, only showing the time it was sent.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

No, he proved it was a WinMo problem (at the very least) even though the order is correctly displayed in the stock WinMo client. Evidently stock WinMo client displays them in the order received sorted by the date and time the local file was created, but most programs use the time stamp on the sms for sorting. Even sorted correctly, the date stamp is incorrect.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

agreed,it's happening to many other brands other than htc which simply eliminates that possibility

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

Check incoming msgs that is where the issue appears to be

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

Only shows the time.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

if it only shows the time, I think that means the year is correct, if it were not correct the month/year would appear

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

Sounds right. So Im leaning towards HTC issue and LG people are liers ;)

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

Mine shows only time for all messages in and out for today in threads. The older messages show the dates as I expect. All seems fine on mine.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

UPDATE: Im in the USA on Sprint

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

So to try and sum things up so far..

Your Windows Mobile 6.1/6.5 device may show SMS messages sent or received after 12:00am 1/1/2010 (local time) being sent or received in the year 2016, when the messages are viewed in Threaded mode. MMS messages seem unaffected.

No fix has been published yet, and although LG and HTC seem to be aware, no official statement has been made. Your carrier's Customer Support resources may not have complete information, and may give you inaccurate or anecdotal info until official word is out.

Devices, regions and carriers affected:
Seemingly any Windows Mobile 6.1 or 6.5 device, any carrier, any region..although it's not completely certain at this point. Positive repros on Touch Pro 2, Touch Pro and Mogul.

See http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=1606400, where some non-WinMo LG devices are exhibiting the problem.

Software affected:
Your choice of stock/custom ROM does not seem to change the problem. Mixed reports of SPB Shell and TouchFlo/Sense exhibiting the behavior. Native WinMo messaging software seems to consistently repro.

Reporting additional scenarios (positive or negative)..it's helpful to have specific software versions (OS, TouchFlo/Sense/SPB Shell), custom ROM name and version (if applicable), carrier, country you live in.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

I love WinMo! Could be worse, it could have tweeked all of our calendars and really screwed some people up!

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

Same problem as him :-({|=:-({|=

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

My brother says his AT&T Fuze doesn't have the problem. Maybe it's CDMA carriers?

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

Do the days and dates in 2016 match up with 2010?(Im lazy) If so, couldnt you change the time to 2016? Retarded "fix", but would it work?

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

Odd stretch here, but could it have anything to do with todays date being binary? 010110? which translates into.........16........Like I said, Looooooooong stretch, but hey...

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

Then your calendar is hosed

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

hahaha interesting idea. Doubt it is the issue, but good catch.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

Think the issue is for incoming only isnt it? Seems out going is fine.

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

thats interesting!

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

yes, incoming only.

*holy crap! 12 pages!*

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

Well, believe it! Mine is unaffected too! I'm running MightyRom Impact 12/28. It only shows "Today" and the time. Here's what I see:

Re: text messages from the future Y2KX issue
 

But that isn't 16 in binary ...

Seems it's more widespread. Just saw someone with a Palm Treo with the problem also. Check this Twitter search, people having the same problem
