Go SMS Time Stamp Wrong

I don't use Go SMS too often, but I just noticed that I'm having a problem with the time stamp.

I have a Droid X, running 2.3.

When the message comes in and I get the popup notification, the time is correct (i.e. 7:30am). When I go to view the message in the message list, the time is 4 hours earlier (i.e. 3:30am).

The time in the stock messaging app is correct.

I even tried a wipe data on Go SMS and started with a totally clean install and saw the same thing. I also recieved texts from 2 different people and again saw the same thing.

Sent messages from GoSMS appear with the correct time stamp.

Any ideas?
 
Really, no one else has this issue or any ideas?

I'm stumped. I did a clean install and still see the same thing.
 
Yes, I've emailed them about this.

I'm actually having an issue with Go Launcher and emailed them about that issue a few times and got no response.

Go sms has a setting somewhere to fix this (don't remember where sorry). The otehr option is donwload 'sms time fix'

If you can find that setting, please do let me know. I can't find anything like that.

As far as sms time fix app, why would that possibly work if the stock app is correct? I wouldn't imagine I'd be seeing the issue just in go sms if this app could fix it.

No idea... I used sms time fix for the stock app, fixed the problem for me. I installed Go sms a few weeks later. I did not touch the setting in go sms but somehow the problem reappeared. In frustration I deleted go sms. Problem solved. Perhaps the apps have a different method of determing the 'correct' time.

/rant: Android is just not very reliable. Laugh at me all you want but as a phone I find wm6.1 is 10 times better than gingerbread!

I don't see any such setting. Maybe it was removed? If anyone else sees a setting like that or has any other ideas, please share as I'm pretty stumped here.
 
Been doing some searching and seems like I'm not the only one with this issue.

I tried unchecking automatic for my system time, but that didn't do anything.

I see references to "time office" in Go SMS settings, but I just can't find the option. It's even listed in their market description. Another link I found says it's in receive settings, but I don't see it there. I am navigating in the advanced menu.

Anyone know where this setting is?

Since the time stamp of sent messages is correct, I'm not quite sure setting a time offset will fix this issue.

Very strange.
 
Found it!

Buried in the important tips section was a setting to "adjust timestamp to local time" and it further indicated that it solves a problem on the droid x and some other phones.
 
I adjusted it to +8 hours cuz that's how far off mine was. Only for incoming texts though. Still doesn't work. I'm stumped. I have Droid Razr. Anyone figure this out yet? No matter what I change in the time correction setting, the incoming texts still show 8 hours too early. Very annoying problem with an awesome app!

I was having the same problem with go sms on my razr. Changing the offset under important tips didn't help. But then I unchecked run persistant (or something to that affect) at the top of the same important tips section, and now the offset setting works, and my timestamps are correct!
