Wrong time on incoming texts
After the last OTA system update a few days ago, all my incoming texts have the wrong time, it's GMT instead of using my time zone. The phone time is correct, the time zone is correct, and my outgoing messages have the correct time, only the incoming texts are wrong. Any ideas? Android 12
@russff99 mine is doing the same thing, my incoming text messages since the update are showing 7 hours ahead. And it all started after the update.
I restarted my phone and now the text messages are coming in correctly.
If anyone gets a solution, let me know. It's driving my husband crazy
Has anyone heard anything from T-Mobile? I noticed this about 2 weeks ago and its driving me crazy.
Following. My incoming texts are all 7 hours ahead.
This is obviously not a phone issue. Too many different phones experiencing the same random issue points to an issue with the T-Mobile servers. Please T-Mobile, get this straightened out, it's been months!
Try a different SMS app and then you can find out if it's the os or the app.
It looks to me like T-Mobile has one of their SMS servers set to UTC. My wife & I are randomly getting messages that are 7 hours off which is GMT (UTC) but not daylight savings time. Some are correct, some are not. Which tells me they have at least one server set to UTC.
It wouldn’t be a big deal, except that it puts new messages up before previous messages that have the correct time.
Any way we can get you folks at T-Mobile to fix this? Easy fix guys.
and the above mentioned restart of the phone or network reset has not fixed it?
this is a peer to peer site with a handful of moderators/admins to keep the site in order only..they do not have account access
Mine just started doing this yesterday. I cleared the cache and restarted the phone with no luck
Mine are still doing this as of last night on some incoming texts. Deleted ALL my texts, restarted my phone several times, and it still has not resolved the issue.
