Hey guys. Im having some trouble with my text messaging. When ever i receive messages, it is showing that i received them 4 hours ago. So all my received messages are going to the top and messing up my chats. Does any one know how to fix this?

Best bet usa to flash back to Cognition and see if the issue goes away.

Hey...just got the Captivate yesterday and had the same problem. Are you on Rogers (or another provider besides AT&T)? This is more likely a network problem. Download the "SMS Time Fix" app. It will fix the problem.
Yes its a rogers phone and I'm using it with fido. Thanks that fixed the problem.
Hi Guy, my friend showed my he can sent and received the picture through text message with his iPhone . But he doesn't has data plan but unlimited SMS.
Does any know how to set that?

you can send pixs through texting and receive without a data plan, mine is already set up for this. There are a couple of market apps that allow this if you end up not figuring it out that will allow this and comes preset up
What kind of app is this ?

Its because there is/was an unlimited SMS/MMS plan.. so of course the MMS uses data and they cant charge you the data used for sending and MMS if you have that service.
Does anyone know how to send mms on a rooted G2x

I believe there may be third party apps in the market that will allow you to do that. I'm not sure though. Can you do so with a google voice number?
There is an app called Skebby Free MMS in the market that says it sends text and mms messages via wifi. It's only free if you send it to someone else that is using the same app though. Otherwise, it will cost you money.
There is also WhatsApp and it is free for a year.

Maybe you should begin learning how to form proper question then. Do a search on the Market for WiFi MMS or pay the 10 bucks a month.
thanks everyone for your help I'll. let you know how it turns out.

Okay. So I bought an unlocked g2x brand new from Amazon. Everything almost works as it should: calling,wifi,texting ....the thing is I cannot send or receive picture messaging.
I spent hours on the phone with T-Mobile (ironically bought an unlocked phone that was originally T-Mobile to use on T-Mobile network. Funny right?) and they say because the imei number is unlocked I am unable to do picture messaging without a data plan. I can't afford a data plan right now.
Anyways I'm hoping there is a way to change the imei number back to being T-Mobile specific. In other words: I want to lock my unlocked phone back to T-Mobile.
All I want is picture messaging. I shouldn't have to have a data plan to achieve this. Can anyone please help?

It shouldn't be your imei, it's your apn settings. Go to settings, wireless, network settings and make sure your apn is set for tmobile.
My phone is unlocked and I send pictures without a data plan. Just remember that you need to have mobile data enabled. It uses data technically, but it's incorporated with your texting plan.

You sir are a genius. That actually fixed my problem.
Now, I have data blocked on my phone so I shouldn't be able to use the data thing even if I tried. ...
I did activate that setting and upon successfully sending a text,the 4g logo does come up where my signal strength and battery are shown. Can you confirm this to be normal? I don't want any extra charges on my next bill....

Call them and make sure there's a data block on your phone. You won't get charged. And yes the 4G logo will show when sending an mms.

I spoke with the T Mobile representative. I believe her exact words were : Now you're not supposed to have multimedia messaging on an unlocked phone, But it's changing that setting give you the ability to do so then that is great.
Haha. But yeah she basically is telling me what you guys Are telling me I cannot thank you enough.

I can send mms. But I can't receive them.....any ideas?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Data turned on when downloading it? Edit your APN, make sure the APN is set to etc.tmobile.com, mmsc set to mms.msg.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc, mac set to 310, mnc set to 260

Did you mean to put "Epc.tmobile. " on access point names?
Would I be asking to much for a little help navigating to those particular settings?
Thanks redmonke.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Ok after rereading, I see you said to edit my apn, which I assume is short for access point names. Should I edit the only one that is there which is "T-Mobile us, Epc.tmobile. com "
Or should I create a new one?
This is of course assuming that apn is access point names.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
I did what you suggested, although I had to Create a new apn rather than edit the original because the original will not let me edit it....
After creating the new one, I suspect maybe a miss type in the settings. "Etc " is what I believe you said, but upon using that setting I could no longer send pics.
Once I changed it to "epc " I was able to do so.....
Anyways after creating the new apn as per your suggestion, I noticed that it was an exact mirror of my original apn.
But here's the kicker:
I was able to receive pics so long as my buddy selected to forward it rather than sending it directly (if that makes any sense) .
I then tried to have him compose a fresh message and select a pic to send....to no avail. I also had another friend attempt to do the same only to achieve the same results.
I am having zero issues sending pics.
And so long as data is enabled, I am able to do so.
Its the receiving pics that is giving me the issues.
I don't understand why I can receive forwarded pics....
If anyone can help I suppose I can send my cell number,(with great apprehension) ,via pm to someone who is willing to trouble shoot....

Hm so it looks like you are on the latest version. Did you do a factory reset when you got it?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
No I didn't...would that somehow lock my phone to a specific carrier?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
No but something might be messing up the mms.

Do you think if I installed a newer version of android I would be able to send and receive texts???
Or if I root it?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda app-developers app
Root no, if a factory restore doesn't then I'd wipe data and install cyanogenmod and see if it works.
