Not sure why, or how, but for some reason when I receive a text message it comes up saying that I received the message an hour later than the actual time is.
For example, I get a text at 8.30... it says I received it at 9.30 - Why?
Any help would be appreciated please. I'm sure it's easy to fix I just haven't seen a way how to.
Forget it. My time on my laptop was also set incorrectly and I didn't realise.
Damn.
This thread will implode in 5 minutes! Stand by!
I don't see any option that allows me to delete the thread as soon as I saw it was nonsense. Oops.

So I was able to update my rom to the new 5.11.502.2 rom for the HTC Fuze on At&t. I have been enjoying the update, and it seems like the reception is improved.
But I did run into a problem....iono if someone could verify if this is correct or not. So when ever i send a mass text, i would only get one thread for the message and not for each other person i sent the mass text to. With the original stock rom, whenever you send a mass text, a thread conversation starts for each person you sent the mass text to.
i think everything about the text messages in the update is buggy. when i get a text and then reply but still stay inside the thread, my text message icon in the status bar stays there and then when i get more than one text from the same person and then go back to the message list it says there there is still unread messages even though i already replied to them.
That's been an issue for forever.
Nah, this is different. In the stock ROM, it used to automatically show the message was read, just by opening it. Now I have to scroll up to the message to show I've read it.
Sure, it's not that much of a hassle by itself, but when you text as much as I do, pressing the up botton a few times and then bringing it back down, just so the notifications go away, becomes a daunting task.
It's almost depressing.
Not in this way though... it used to be that I could just open the message, and it would register that it was read. Now, I have to manually scroll up to show I've read it.
It's not a huge problem, unless you text as much as I do. It's a major nuisance. Is there a registry tweak we can change to mark it as read upon opening? NOT having to scroll to the message itself, in the thread?
I'm looking for a way to send an SMS/MMS or email with a time delay. That way I can send a message when I think of something but the other person doesn't have a message alert going off at 4AM or whatever.
The concept would be rather simple. Instead of "Send" it would be "Send at" then you input the time you want it sent. Right now I'm putting everything in Drafts but sometimes I forget to look in there and don't send the stuff later.
The other way would be to shut off the radios until late morning. That way everything craps out and gets put on hold. I could do that but I might need to make a call or get on the net and when I turn the radios on people would get message bombed at 4AM.
Thank you.

I've been using this for about 3 years now. It does everything you could want.

Yes. It's very useful. Thank you.
Hey guys,
As the title says, I'm brand new to the Captivate.
When I'm having conversations over text message, is there any way to make the incoming texts appear on my screen in the order in which I receive them? Right now all of my typed messages appear at the bottom of my screen, and if I receive a text I have to scroll all the way to the top to view it.
For example:
Friend: Test
Me: Response
Friend: Test
Me: Response
If messages were typed in this order, it currently appears like this on my phone:
Friend: Test
Friend: Test
Me: Response
Me: Response
Is there any way to change that? I love everything about this phone, but it's getting obnoxious having to scroll up 10 or 15 texts every time I receive a new one from somebody. Thanks in advance.
Honestly, the simplest fix is to use handcent or another third party messaging app.
Edit...I see you are brand new to the captivate.....you heard of the inspire? Might want to give it a thought.
Hmmm... It's certainly not supposed to be like that. My phone always showed the messages in the order I received them, so something is wrong and I couldn't find anything in the settings to change it. You might want to try Handcent from the market, there's a free version and it is EXTREMELY customizable. I mean, it's down right ridiculous how much you can customize every aspect of your SMS and MMS using it. Maybe that'll be a simple fix for your messages not appearing in order. If you decide to go with Handcent, make sure you turn notifications off in the stock messaging app or else you'll get two separate notifications each time you get a text, which gets annoying pretty quickly.
EDIT: I guess I type too slow, newter beat me to the punch
I get the a very similar (or even same) thing running Cog or stock. What I have noticed....this only occurs if your reply has the same time stamp as the received message i.e. if you receive a message at 9:46pm and reply to it within the same minute (in relation to your phone's time), also 9:46pm, your message will show out of order.
Hmm....now that I look over my messages...I have a MILD theory...
Messages are organized in chronological order, but the time stamps do not include seconds, only down to the minute. Afterwards, the system has to organize by something....so it goes to Name. My first guess would be if the message is sent from someone with name that comes before "Me" alphabetically, their message (send at the same minute) would appear first, and vice versa if their name is after "Me." Errr.....maybe it is by phone number, not name.......errrr....damn, that doesn't hold up 100% either now that I have looked even harder.....jeez.....only 1 message might jump up?
eh, I've just learned to live with it. Can't be too picky. Every phone has its little quirks. Just depends on which ones you want to deal with
I had the smell issue with either stock or handcent messaging apps. The problem to me was the time in my region being sent by the cell towers was off by about 70 seconds. When I would travel to another region of the country, I didn't have a problem.
I solved it with a program from the market called ClockSync (though I'm sure there are others) which sets the correct time on my phone.

Ok, so I get a new text message.
I turn on the phone, notice in the lockscreen someone texted, and see an excerpt of the text. I say, ok, lets slide that messaging icon into the ring and read that message. Well, that message is not there. No message at all from that person. If its someone ive been talking to, it usually shows what i said last only, and their reply is no where to be found, although i just saw it in the lockscreen or the top bar.
I have also tried the handcent sms app to see if it could help me. same thing occurs there too.
ANY idea what could be causing this? It seems to be doing it all the time now. My only way around it is to use google voice only. ugh.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
What's the limit you have set for deleting texts after a certain period? Might have something to do with that.

yeah, ive been using it, but its still a hassle. My txts were coming through just fine the day i got it, then it got wierd afer 48hrs of use.
Thanks for the help, Ill keep looking as well for an answer.
I am a very similar issue, at first I thought I was missing text messages as well.
I got a few keywords from my friend who sent the missing text and when I did a search, the text was there, but they had the wrong time stamp.
For instance missing text was sent at 17:44, when I search I found the text stamped and threaded in as if it was received at 12:40.
The wrong time is variable, I have found other texts that was stamped received the previous day.
Unfortunately I don't have a solution, and quite frankly am getting really frustrated with this problem.

I have had this tablet for awhile and now it has been shelved as newer devices have been brought into use and it's sort of "obsolete" but still works thanks to Timduru. I'm wanting to see if anyone knows of an app or some sort of setup that would enable me to use this tablet as a message/info center (always on) that could either be hung on the wall or set on a desktop. Ideally it would display either digital photos or current weather radar as a screen saver, but anybody (in my home) could tap the screen and get messages or notes (sent by me from another device). What got me to thinking about this is that I work in the transportation industry (railroad) which takes me out of town often and when I'm returning home it would be better to be able to post a message to my wife/family that I'm on my way than to send a text because it is often very early in the morning and I don't like waking anyone up for such a message (they have to get up early enough as it is during the school year). So I was thinking it would be neat that they could just check that message board for messages/news just to see if I checked in. I'm sure there's a plethora of apps that do any of those individual tasks, but I have never seen one that "does it all". Hopefully I described what I'm looking for clearly and understandably, if so, can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks ahead of time!
sorry for the double post. Tried to correct the obvious spelling error in the title (thanks again spell-check, you bastard) and it did that. Can the moderator delete the first one? Thanks!
