Root Time Traveling Texting

[death2twitter]

I have a weird issue with texting. Sometimes, and I can't quite find a reproducible cause, somebody's reply to my text will appear before my text. As in I'll send a text, a few seconds later they reply, but their reply is listed above the text that I sent them. They're out of order.

It seems to only occur when the person texts back in the same minute, but them texting back in the same minute doesn't always cause it.

So should I tell NASA that my phone is messing with spacetime?

On midnight rom, if it matters.

I get that sometimes on Mobster ROM as well. It's not a big deal to me so I just ignore it.

I've gotten the same thing. Sometimes the time stamp is even different; it will say I sent a text a minute later than when I really did, but somehow I got a reply at the "right" time.

That's just the VM network and the time stamp. I'm fairly confident it has nothing to do with the rom or the phone itself lol.

When I was with Cricket I would sometimes receive text messages with the time stamp 2 hours in the past. It would really mess up the flow of long conversations haha.

If it bothers you (as it did with me on Cricket) then there is a free app called SMS Time Fix by Matthew Precious that I used. It will let you add your own offset to the time stamp or set it to the time the text was actually received by the phone (and not when it was sent). I used the latter option and it worked really well.
