Help SMS APP

[debbru]

Can anyone tell me if there is any app that tells me what time a SMS was sent & received

 

[Mikestony]

I use Handcent, and when I long-press a message, I can choose to see the details of the message:

 

[debbru]

Thank your for your reply, I have Handcents downloaded on my phone, I long pressed on a message & this is all the details I got

 

[Mikestony]

Those are the details of the message you sent correct?
Are you looking to see what time the recipient received YOUR message? Or are you looking for the details of the recipients reply to your text?
I hope I made sense right there

 

[debbru]

What I'm trying to work out is when I leave my phone off for a day, the next time I turn it on it only tells me time & date I received it, even though someone sent me a message while it was off.

I hope I have made sense

 

[Mikestony]

Ah, I understand, and yes you made perfect sense
Hmm, yeah, not that I know of.
Sometimes I wonder that myself as someone will send me a text, and I won't get it for a long period of time (even though my phone was on) and I wonder WHEN they sent it vs. when I received it.

I totally understand now.

Perhaps someone else may know something I don't.

By the way, I've moved this thread into the Android Applications forum where you can get more input

Thank you for trying to help me with this, can you suggest where else I could try for help? & how do I access the Android Applications Forum

There is an app called "SMS sent time" that does exactly that. However it does not work with apps that suppress your stock messaging app notifications for some reason. I use chomp sms and it works fine with that. Should also work with stock messages on most devices.

Thank you for your reply, I have just downloaded 'Sms sent time', could you tell me how it works

 

[nicka3200]

Just open the app and enable it via the in app settings. All sms messages from then onwards should have the sent time added in brackets at the end of the message.

It does that because the message data includes the sent time but android doesn't display it by default.

I've come across apps in the Play store that will tell you WHERE the person is AT who sent you a text or call so I assume the app can also supply the time.

oof, that's a little unnerving eh?

Is this regular SMS as provided by the carrier or some internet IM service? Because any sender's location information would have to come from the carrier's network, and they'd likely only make that available to the police and other law enforcement AFAIK.
