Have any Captivate/Galaxy S forumers experienced the issue where, when replying to a text message right after it is received, your reply is placed BEFORE the text message on the threaded SMS view. It is a superficial issue I suppose, but it can get confusing trying to follow conversations and such.
Has anyone heard of this problem, or even better, a fix for it? I've tried setting the system time a few minutes later/earlier with no real results.
yes i have also noticed this myself. it is a pain sometimes
For me, the replies to my messages are actually date stamped 5 hours backwards so show up muchj earlier in a threaded conversation. I have not been able to find a working fix but a workaround was to install Handcent sms (free in Market). It threads everything properly and is actually a pretty nice widget that shows you the latest texts....
Would love a native fix however so please advise if you've found one...
I had this problem. I fixed it by manually setting the system time.

I'm having the same issue. For me it's related to texts coming from a different time zone. If I manually set my time to the time where the texts are coming from, everything is fine. I've been using Chomp SMS, which is pretty nice, but I'll try Handcent. When I restart the threads are correct sometimes but eventually get messed up again.
For me it's from every single phone number, no matter what the time zone. But i've temporarily fixed it with handcent, though the default sms client is classier looking.
Mine did this as well and to solve the problem go into your settings and manually adjust your clock 1 minute up so if its 12:30 set your clock to 12:31 and this solved my problem, hasnt messed up since i did this

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.
I have this bookmarked from the xda portal. It may be relevant

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 found a weird bug that I can't seem to find reported anywhere else. I'm fully stock, fully updated, rocking a custom tone, but that's just an audio file so that probably doesn't matter. I did, though, delete it, redownload it, switch to defaults, everything along those lines before stumbling on one last guess.
Okay, here's the bug. The notification tone gives only an extremely short portion of the notification before going silent.
Solution - and tested - The person you're getting that messed up tone from has reached it's limit of text messages stored on your phone. Simply delete the text messages and you're golden.
Theory: Educated guess here, I think the phone receives the text, sets off the notification process, then does the deleting process. When the deleting process is triggered it stops the tone. Having less than maximum texts gives a full notification.
I actually had 2 people on my phone at full messages, both of them were getting partial tones. Now they are, one at a time deleting the texts, receiving texts and giving full notification alerts.
funny that i found this thread and my phone just started doing it, will delete the txt and reply back with confirmation
Sorry to be a buzzkill, but this issue was kinda already covered in Q&A...

No buzz kill here, I couldn't find the solution myself so I'm glad there is one... now I go to read that thread.
On second thought... since I came up with the exact same solution, it' smuch the opposite of a buzz kill, it makes me happy to have figured out the actual and correct thing.
Then in that case, glad I could help!

The best solution I found was to put the ringtone as a silent one for msging and use tasker to play your notification sound whenever a msg is received.

I have an odd problem. I'm using Handcent as the default SMS app instead of Hangouts. When I send a text, it shows double text in the app, but it doesn't actually send out double. The other side only gets 1 text which is cool. however, it is pretty annoying and takes up a lot of screenspace in the app.
When using hangouts to send text, it doesnt show double. Handcent recently updated it's app to support kitkat. Anyone else have isssues like this using third party SMS app on the N5?
No issues at all using this:

Confirmed, also having this issue with Handcent. Can't lose Handcent without losing popup message notifications, so I'll deal for now

Solution
Hi,
I had this problem also but think I figured it out! Go to Settings>> Apps>>All Apps >> Google Hangouts and Disable it. Then restart your phone. Things are working well on my Nexus 5 now when I send and only one message is shown in Handcent.
I had the same issue, and I corrected it by uninstalling the Handcent Emoji addon... If you have that installed, it tends to not play nice.
HTH!

I tried both suggestions, disabling Hangouts and uninstalling the emoji plugin (rebooting after each), and neither corrected the issue. Hopefully Handcent fixes the problem in an update soon!
I removed handcent and then reinstalled it and set it as default sms app before opening it the other day which resolved the issue for maybe 2 days then it just started showing double texts again
I had the issue, I removed it for now giving Hangouts a try.
I like the idea of 1 application to handle the functionality.

GO SMS also had this but it stopped out of no where..
I just removed Handcent again and once again reinstalled it and made it the default sms app in settings before opening up Handcent and I'm back to showing one sent text again
Having the same issue, usually a reboot solves it for a minute or five. sent email to developer
i posted a fix one post up although lets hope they can sort it with just an install

not sure if that's a permanent fix. It's not working for me or any of the other methods people been posting about. I hope handcent can fix it soon.

Yes, i have also this problem. did anyone fixed this ?
I am having the same issue and I have made a little discovery: the thing only happen (at least for me) when the mobile data are activated. Yesterday I was turning crazy with Hangout that doesn't rung, handcent that made me send double sms and go sms that shows the popup window.
So I installed Go sms and deleted the other two apps: today when I was using my phone with mobile data enabled, it sent two sms (the other person received only one). Than turned off data, enabled Wifi and the issue stopped. It's quite weird
It's all happening to my handcent after upgraded to 4.4 I am getting double text out but not actually sending double to the receiver

I also emailed the developer through the play store about a week ago... as yet, no reply
I had this issue. Could never get it fixed. So instead I use 88sms. It took a bit to get used to it cause I've had handcent since the G1 but 88 has a pop up too and it doesn't seem to lag at all like Handcent seemed to do sometimes.
I have posted here but recieved no answer. I figured my question belongs here anyway, so I won't bump the other thread.
I am trying to use Hangouts as my default SMS app (It is also currently the only SMS app installed on my device) because I do like it. However I noticed that sometimes I don't get any notification when I recieve a text message, no vibration, nor sound nor notification in the status bar. As a result, I miss quite a lot of texts. Notice that I do recieve those texts, if I check the app they are there, text bold to indicate they are not yet read. I just don't get the notification. Also, most of the time I do get the notifications without a problem. So to be clear, this is about some SMS's, not about all.
As far as I know this happens when I recieve the message very shortly after I put down my phone (my routine: send text, press 'backbutton' once to get in the hangouts overview, and then I press power to shut of the screen and put the phone down.) If I get a message let's say within half a minute of me turning of the screen I won't have a clue I recieved the message until I go look in hangouts to check. This happens often when someone is quick to respond to my own message, but could maybe be happening with other messages I recieve in that time. I don't think this happens to messages I recieve when the screen has been off for a time, but I can't say that with certainty.
I have a HTC One S currently running CM11, but I had this problem on stock ROM too. However never with the HTC stock messaging app.
I have found similar problems here on the forums, but no satifying answers. I hope someone has a solution?
