Is there any fix for custom roms like this?

+1 for custom roms, guess we'll have to wait and see, finally found a good one I been using for months and don't really want to hard restart/install stock rom

your texts show todays date with 2016 as the year when sent and recieved. for me, i always get a time stamp and day old msgs show date. i didn't know i had the bug til 1/2/10 when it showed day old text as 1/1/16 in fact i didn't even know about it. came to ppcgeeks.com main page with curent news on the 2nd and it was posted there. i looked and seen day old text.

Re: 2016 Official Fix Released from HTC (SPRINT)
 
So does this just switch the phone into "use the time the phone actually received the text" mode like Ziggys fix or will it still display the date and time of when the message reached the SMS server?

JDM_SOHC 01-20-2010 12:35 AM
Re: 2016 Official Fix Released from HTC (SPRINT)
 
Hopefully they find a fix for the other "2016 or 2106" SMS error... That'd be awesome..!!

"With some flashed ROM's when you try to use HTCMessenger you get an error Msg. 2016 and it doesn't let you send the text out" =(

Re: 2016 Official Fix Released from HTC (SPRINT)
 
Can anyone valch and say the HTC Fix actually works and is decent? I haven't done it yet and I have the older rom version.
I've heard some bad things about the new Stock Rom Update, I'd like some opinions on it before I flash. :/

That post is in 2008. It might be the version.

Re: 2016 Official Fix Released from HTC (SPRINT)
 
Try this:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/touch-.../downloads#108

Warning: This is the HTC Touch Pro - Sprint Stock ROM. If you need one for a different company, search the website of the above link. This is the same link with the 2016 fix too. (look below the ROM file) Good luck!

Guys, I've come up with a cab that fixes the issue on custom ROMs. It should work on any Sprint Touch Pro running a custom ROM. I don't know if it will work on any other phone, as I only have a Sprint Touch Pro to try it on.

This is a real fix, it uses the time that the message was sent by the other person, not the time the message was received by your phone (which is what ziggy's workaround does).

It will not fix your existing messages. To do that, run the CorrectSMSDate program found in the first post here. However, the CorrectSMSDate program stopped working for me for some reason on March 1, so I've come up with a quick and easy way to do it manually (much easier than the directions in the post I linked to), let me know if you want to know it.

lol so lets assume my buddy has a stock tp and i have a custom. per your fix, the message time and date will reflect his time and date. so if he doesn't have the fix installed, it will still show as 2016?

why does no one likes ziggys?

javulticat 03-03-2010 05:14 PM
Re: 2016 Official Fix Released from HTC (SPRINT)
 
My fault for poor explanation. It uses the time that Sprint's servers register the text being sent. So even if your friend's phone thinks it's 2016, your phone will be able to correctly interpret the time Sprint's servers are reporting if you have my fix.

Basically, it does the same thing that the official fix does, except it works on custom ROMs.

ziggy's is less than ideal because it uses your phone's local time as the timestamp. So, if your phone is off and your friend sends you a text at 8PM, but then you turn your phone on the next morning at 10AM, your phone will timestamp the text at 10AM instead of 8PM like it should be (and like my fix does).

I'm thinking a new sticky and every WM blog in the internets should have this info... Not one single custom rom that I know of even has this fix... and sprints fix doesn't even seem to work on sprint's rom half the time.

Just tried this fix on my own cooked rom and it worked perfectly and I'm on Alltel

Re: 2016 Official Fix Released from HTC (SPRINT)
 
Thanks guys, cool to hear it works on Alltel. If anyone else has had success with it, let me know!

And since hellonwheels mentioned that Sprint's own fix doesn't work on stock Sprint ROMs sometimes... My fix should work on stock Sprint ROMs too, so feel free to try it if you're on a stock Sprint ROM and the official fix doesn't work for you.

I would love to know this method; I got the "CorrectSMSDate Failed!" message too. It seems to have corrected most of them, but not all. This is after I had to backup with SpriteBackup, hard reset to install the new Sprint ROM, which was required by the Sprint Patch to fix the 2016 bug, and then restore with Sprite.

I like quick and easy... and I'd rather not hard reset for a third time.
