I'm running a stock sensation and recently my messages have started appearing in the wrong order. Say I text someone and they reply straight away, when I go into the conversation the message I sent appears last, which obviously isn't right. I used to have this problem on my old Hero too. I don't know if it's to do with both messages being sent during the same minute or not, or if it's due to the recipients time on their phone. Anyone else have this problem?
You can download sms fix from the android market and give that a try. I've seen a similar problem in one of the Htc forums but i can't remember where.
Edit.
I had a little look for you and found this:

I hope it helps.
I had the issue as well. What I did was just go to settings > date and time and check the "automatic" box at the top.
Hope that works.

I remember this issue on some of the older HTC devices. At the time HTC said it was a feature :S
HTC's timeservers are occasionally out of sync by 10 minutes. No idea why.

Anyone else experiencing their text threads being out of order? For instance, i can send a text that shows that it was sent at the right time, however if someone texts me, the time is a couple of minutes off. Thus, throwing the chronological order off.
If im reading and thinking of ur problem rite it may be the same as mine was. When i first send text sometimes it would fail and wouldnt resend till i reopen text. So it would have wrong time at least i thought it did.

No, my texts don't fail. When I send them, they show the same time as my clock. However, if someone sends me a text, it shows they sent it about a minute or two ahead of my actual time.
I'll try to give an example: 6:45PM- actual times that these text are sent.
Me (6:45PM)- aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Me (6:45PM)- ccccccccccccccccccc
Someone Else (6:46PM)- bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb
See, how it places the incoming texts at 6:46, even though it is really 6:45 still, throws the order off on my reply. It makes it seems like both of my texts were sent before I even received a response.
Very frustrating......
Are you having this problem in the stock messaging app? I noticed it every once in a while, but haven't had the problem yet with Handcent.
If you're using the stock app, try downloading Handcent or ChompSMS or something, and see if it goes away
i have this same issue, its made me switch to handcent because the problem hasnt occured using that. Plus it lets me have vibrate functionality ONLY in the vibrate setting and retain only audio notification in a sound profile

Yeah, I'm using the stock messaging app. I'll try Handcent, apparently a lot of people like it. I'll update ASAP
i'm still using my fuze and i have the same problem. i wonder if it has something to do with the time on att , the other persons phone and/or other carriers servers
Handcent all the way! It corrects the out-of-order issue and is way more customizable, including assigning ringtones for each contact. Just remember to turn off the notifications on the stock messaging app, otherwise you'll receive double notifications on each message received.
Im having the same problem on my Captivate...But my N1 gets it right. Im getting replys before I even send a text...according to the time stamps.
Sorry to report that, although ive only experienced it once, i have seen the same problem with Handcent SMS
All these little issues on this thing are starting to pile up :/

No cuz my iPhone worked just fine...
This problem happens to me if I reply back really quickly... It'll put my text above the one I replied to.

Beauty is there's ways around it (other apps) and we don't have to rely on anyone to fix it.
My wife and I both have Captivates. Her phone has the text messages out of order, while mine does not. Something we noticed is that when we do an auto sync of the date/time, her phone is consistently 4 minutes behind mine. For example, my time will be 6:06, and her phone says 6:02. I believe this is what is causing the text app to "re-arrange" the messages. The text app just looks at the time stamp of the message, and not the actual order of the send/receive process.
I am not sure how to correct this other than manually setting her phone forward by 4 minutes.

This is exactly the problem.
If I get a text at 9:01... And I reply at 9:01... It puts mine as having been sent before the one I received.
just use handcent people.
Yeah, but like I said, Ive reproduced the problem once, even with Handcent. On a side note, does anyone know how or where to get more skins for Handcent?

That does not solve the root problem... Some phones are getting the wrong time from the network when set to auto-config.

tikicult, somone else reported that their phone was off by 4 minutes. Solved it by getting a new SIM Card.

I've been having this problem as well.
I went to the AT&T store today to try and get a new SIM, as per one of the suggestions in this thread. Problem still occurred. Tried it on a fresh straight out of the box Captivate. Problem still occurred. Sales guy threw his SIM from his iPhone in a demo Captivate. Problem still occurred on both Captivates.
Later I tried adjusting the time manually up by a minute or 2. Problem still occurred after a text with a response approx. 20-30 seconds later. Still showed the text coming in at 1:23, and my response which was 30 seconds later as being sent at 1:22.
Seems like a Samsung software issue.
Whether I'm running Handcent, chomp, or the standard app, at some point (it seems while refreshing/fetching SMS) my messages disappear, nowhere to be found. This has happened twice this month. I have "auto delete old messages" disabled and CM 6 installed. What is causing this?? I have people's numbers in here that I need and it takes 20 minutes to restore messages (those messages aren't even remotely new). Maybe it's a CM issue but I feel like this has happened before on stock 2.2 but I don't quite remember. Regardless I'd like to know what's causing this and XDA is my best bet. I've seen postings all over in Google results about this issue. I'm running a Nexus one with a newly flashed radio on FRF91 build.
If it's Google's code issue then I'd like to see Cyanogen or the CM team patch this; that would be awesome.
i've had this happen to me too! I could remember this happening to me even on 2.1 on my droid. it annoyed me quite a bit. i've never come across the answer or anyone else who has had the same problem. so you'd be my first.
I hope someone else has the answer
no such problem with mine!
Dear all,
I have some contacts in google as well as in my Whatsapp account. Froyo automatically detects duplicates and suggests contact matches.
This is fantastic! I've checked the duplicates and then linked the Whatsapp contacts.
Pretty annoying is that it keeps notifying me of contact matches of the same contacts that I've already linked before!
I've linked them more than once and even have tried to ignore them, but nothing helped and the same contact matches keeps coming back again and again...
Does anyone had the same problem before or (even better) has a solution?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
How do you manage to resolve this?
For some reason the same two WhatsApp contacts repeatedly appear in the matched contact suggestion list.
Thanks
I've got the same problem. I updated WhatsApp today, so maybe that caused the problem?
Same with my HTC Desire HD. Uninstalled and reinstalled Whatsapp but the problem still exists... I am leaning towards the update as well.
This is super annoying, has it been resolved? I constantly have tried just about everyting from linking all (i think its been a hundred times already) to dismiss all, to clear notification and it just keeps popping up. I also attempted to remove the sync from whatsapp and disable the contacts sync but it keeps activating itself. I am going nuts trying to make it stop annoying me, is there any resolution?
It constantly says i have 22 matched contact suggestions. Is there an update I dont know about?
Hello,
I have the same problem with my htc desire z.
Please say how it has been resolved, because it's really annoying
I got email from whatsapp last night confirming the problem saying it would be fixed on next update very soon . There was an update this morning to the app so I'm hoping the fix was in there.

I installed the update, but now my two repeating contacts have become 58, so from bad to worse!!

Try linking them and then see if it goes away. I have not seen the notification come up for me since the update though I linked right before I saw there was an update
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
The problem still exists after the update. Now it finds more contacts than before. Pretty annoying. I love WhatsApp, it's the best way to keep in contact with my iPhone friends. Bummer.
Yep, its still happening here, but in my experience it is the exact same number as before, i always had 22-23 and I have noticed that now its popping up Much less often, once today since updating when before it was just constant. I have sent email to the whatsapp feedback team letting them know its not fully fixed yet.
just updates whataspp a few minutes ago, the bug is gone now.
Yep, its gone!
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I think I have the same problem, but uninstalling and installing again does not fix the problem. Any updates here?
Still happening me too (Desire HD) - in fact it's gotten noticably worse in recent weeks. Plus it seems to nag more often than it used to too. Also it tries to match people who are totally unrelated - I don't understand that at all. Like many people, I'm starting to think that, what seemed to be a cool feature, is now becoming a pain in the neck.
One thing I did notice is that if you have any Skype contact requests that you haven't accepted or blocked yet, it will keep nagging you about those. Of course, it should ignore contacts that you haven't accepted yet, so that's a bug. But we've already established that there are bugs in this app! At this stage, I'd just like to disable it.
Why is this thread closed?
It is not resolved.
I have the same issue on my HTC Sensation XE (Android 4.0.4 Sense 3.6).
When I first synched my contacts wirelessly from my ActiveSync Corporate email, it kept asking me if I want to link contacts. (800+)
Currently, it is asking me less often but I still have the problem. More specifically with Viber and Tango.
Is it a problem from Tango and Viber. Didnt they fix the bug like whatsapp?
Is it from Android? Sense?
If I check a contact in my address phone book for example, I have a name that got like 6 Viber linked contacts (same number) and I cannot remove them and leave only one. this is polluting the address book.
One more issue is the telephone numbers: if a contact is registered with a code country, his call is not recognized but a sms coming from him is recognized. If I remove the country code, the call will be recognized but not the sms
pretty weird
I agree. I've been having the same problem with viber contacts. Everyday once or twice I have a bunch of contacts, that I have already matched, suggested for matching. It's really annoying and I am considering uninstalling Viber for this reason. Did anyone find a solution?
Thanks
Same here on htc chacha, viber keep prompting contacts to link and for one of the contacts I have 8 linked viber for the same number.
Was offered and got this this morning. Ok so far, but now 'LinkedIn for HTC Sense' reliably force closes on sync or changing its sync settings. Anyone else seen this? Uninstalled now anyway.
I think I got it from the HTC Hub, but can't find it now - maybe they know and pulled it??
Have a separate question but still related to the post. I received a notification for this update this morning. Currently running stock HTC sense but s-off by alpharevx and have superuser access using gingerbreak. Will i lose both features if i do the system update as some other posts of earlier updates indicate that the hboot gets updated.
Just restarted phone because of weirdness again - used to have to do it every 3 days or so.
This time SMS notifications suddenly started auto-clearing a few secs after they arrived. Now works again. Missed I'd got an important one too, meanwhile. Really bad this phone is less reliable doing basic phone stuff than a £10 plastic 'txt and talk' alternative. Maybe I should swap for one of those. At least they allow me to txt and talk reliably, and the battery will last ages :-(
I think it'll be back to Blackberry as soon as I can. Over a year to go :-(
Anyway, got 10days 4hrs 39min 55sec out of it this time without a reboot or hard crash. A record
(Sorry about the rant)

Happened again. SMS's appear in the message list as new IF I open the message list, but the notification behaviour breaks after some trigger yet to be discovered. Anyone else seeing this?
First off, I have already found the SMSC help threads and verified my message center is the correct one for AT&T.
Sometimes, when I send SMS to certain people (random people?) the phone will say they are sent but the recipient will not get the message until 3-4 hours later. In the mean time I can text other people normally.
It gets weirder, I was thinking it was an inter-carrier issue, but if I reboot my phone, all of the missing messages will suddenly arrive at the recipient's phone. Its as if the phone tells me they are sent while they are in some backed up queue?
I was using Scott's regular build (several versions where I have this problem intermittently) and just upgraded to his beanstalk build and have the same issue.
I use GoSMS for my messaging.
Anyone heard of anything like this or can direct me to some help?
Much thanks!
And major props to Scott for his wonderful builds, my phone has never worked so well, minus whatever this issue is!
