chrisredfield93 Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Dear all android users can you tell me if this the way android phones work or there a setting I need to change or if it hard coded by Google which then if is, if ask me then Google should change it as it confusing The issue is that I have noticed the times on the texts that I receive on my phone are timed with the times on the phone when it receives the text for example if someone texts me 5am on a day and I dont receive the text message till 7am the time my phone says it was 7am it was sent which isn't good if someone says they have swapped tomorrow morning shift with me for the afternoon one and I receive the text a on the day when they sent night before as I be in on the wrong time, and I not planning to switch network gain better service as I find in work may be good but home naff or vice versa and not one using other apps either as don't want to have other methods of people of contacting me like via apps like viper bbm which works off data or whatapp etc which I like to keep to family friends not work and if did create separate account then it be another thing to check which I rather not Looking forward to hearing from you android edugeek users
crwardell Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Maybe a problem with your network provider if it's taking 2 hours for the message to arrive?
crwardell Posted December 30, 2015 Posted December 30, 2015 Tap the received text to display details of the text; which should tell you the sent time and the received time...
chrisredfield93 Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Well spotted on my mistake I meant to say if my phone off or out signal it still shows the received time, no mentions on sent time and it the same with my sent texts it shows just sent time but not received time
kearton Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 If you long press on the message and then select the "i" icon it should show you more details, including different sent and received timestamps
chrisredfield93 Posted January 1, 2016 Author Posted January 1, 2016 If you long press on the message and then select the "i" icon it should show you more details, including different sent and received timestamps Thanks I managed to work out by my fellow edugeekers how to get that screen but just only have the received time and not sent.
chrisredfield93 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 Android 5.1.1 - Xperia Z1 (original software just unlocked to my network as girlfriend mums old phone as she was o2 and I'm ee, not looking to change networks
kearton Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 OK. I wonder if it's a network thing then? Maybe someone else on EE could verify if they get sent and received timestamps?
chrisredfield93 Posted January 2, 2016 Author Posted January 2, 2016 That was my thinking if it down to be being different networks or not I wouldn't assume so but that why I wasnt sure if there was a settings somewhere for it
Arthur Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 I am on EE and can see sent/received times. I think it depends on the SMS app you are using however. Google's Messenger app (shown below) displays both times, but Textra doesn't. http://vgy.me/69OOaj.png
