Time stamp wrong on Text messages

birdman1099 · #1 (**permalink**) 03-24-2009, 09:06 AM

I've noticed that the time on my text messages is 4 hours behind. When I receive a text message at 8:00, it will show 4:00. However, when I reply, the time is correct on the reply.

Also, the time on email is correct as well. Just the incoming Text messages have the wrong time.

Any thoughts???

A couple of similar discussions have taken place on the issue and I have experienced the same with some other PPC devices I have had in the past. Check the time zone your Omnia is set for home under Settings\System tab to make sure it is set for your time zone. If you are using Active Sync with a PC, check the PC's time zone to make sure it matches that of the Omnia (and is correct). You can do a search on this site to see other possible solution if the two listed here don't resolve the issue.

I'm having the same issue. I've triple checked that the time zone is correct (US Central Time). I only sync with an exchange server and I'm absolutely certain that the time is correct. I've also found a registry "fix" that was for the HTC Touch and that didn't work either. Any other suggestions?

Same problem here. Time zone setting on the Omnia is correct, as are the clocks on both of the desktops I sync with.

I've even tired this registry edit that was put out for the HTC Touch Diamond:

1) Goto HKLM/SOFTWARE/OEM/PhoneSetting
2) Add DWORD Value 'TrustTimeZoneField'
3) Set value = 0

It didn't work either.

So, I know you have checked the Omnia clock settings, but what about the winmo clock settings?

Still no workey for me.....

I need to keep searching.

Now, Adrynalyne... How do I check the Winmo settings??????

Settings>System> Clocks and Alarms.
Something like that.

I had the same issue with VZW Omnia -- all incoming SMS were 5 hours behind the actual time... a hard reset fixed it (still working to date).

I ended up on a tech support phone call with this issue... It is an issue known to both Verizon and Samsung and "will be addressed in a future software update." Basically, this is a known bug.

I had the same problem.. tinkered with it a little and works as it should.

Main Menu>Clock>Menu (right soft key)> Options - "Automatic system time zone update?" Set to OFF.
