Time Stamp wrong when sending photos via sms/mms

SirCharlsO · #1 (**permalink**) 03-17-2010, 01:06 AM

Hello Everyone,

I send text messages regularly, and those time stamps are fine. I think I used the Official 2016 fix (which is fine, and I don't think has anything to do with this...)

When i send pics/vids to a friend of mine, she says they come to her off by a few hours, and they are consequently, buried in our thread of texts.

It only happens when I send vids/photos. Any ideas? I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 and she has a Hero, I believe.

I wanted to give this a bump. I am running windows 6.5 mobile. When I SMS an android user the time stamp is correct. When I send an MMS the time stamp is off by a few hours and they have to scroll up.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

I think it's an android problem. Sending to other phones gives me the correct time.

After some more reading and trying to find answers I realized thats its exactly 4 hours off. So if I send at 8pm the stamp on there phone says 4pm. I have found both threads on windows mobile and android.

I am also running mightrom and since I am sprint I had to install the Arcsoft in order to get MMS to work.

gdavis612 so even when you send an MMS to windows mobile phone the time stamp is also off?

Does anyone know of a solution to this? My MMS timestamps show 5 hours behind their actual sent time. This happens when sending to any phone, not just androids. Recipients are forced to dig into threaded txt conversations to retrieve my MMS. Is there a setting in arcsoft registry or...?

Check your settings for clock and location. Make sure they are set for your current time zone.
