I searched but couldn`t find anything on this subject
thanx

hey great site a little above my pay grade but I am working thru it..
hopefully someone can help, I recently did the not so new WM 6.5 upgrade and one problem i noticed is when i recieve a new text message notice and click into text message then all, I need to scroll down to find the message and it does not show that days date it usually shows the first date I recieved/sent a text to that person and then I need to try to figure out which message is the new message.
any help is appreciated..
I am technically challenged, but try to learn a little...thanx

not sure but going off the only hunch I have...by any chance does the year for received messages show 2016?

Thats what I was going to suggest. This^ is a known issue and is easily fixed with a cab file download. Very simple

Here's the thread on the 2016 fix. Read through it, it's fairly straight forward, the cab is attached to the first post I believe, but read it and try to understand it. Post any other questions you've got and thank Ziggy in that thread for making the fix for us. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=104248

no, it should be a simple cab download. just download the cab, install, and you're good.
