SMS Sent Time

W/rooted phone + "App Ops [root]" installed to grant SMS Sent Time write permission to SMS database. Don't know why the sent time of messages is not available without 3rd party work arounds. I recall it was in Message Details in earlier android versions.

Thanks for this brilliant solution for the inadequate SMS information provided by Android. It's a shame the Android changes now mean that this app no longer works. (Ideally maybe you could put a notification about this on the app itself. Until now, I just assumed the app had stopped working for some reason.)

Loved this app .used it for many years on earlier samsung phones.now got s7 and it doesnt work at all.shame its not been updated for later phone models.

Worked perfectly on my Galaxy S2 and S4, helpful during flight mode and does exactly as described. Guessing it needs an update (which I've heard the developer no longer works on this app as he receives no income from it) as it doesn't work on my S6 or a friends' S5

Works great !! PLEASE MAKE THE APP COMPATIBLE WITH AVIRA ANTI THEFT. Will the sms commands for avira anti theft work with the time stamp ? I hope it wont. So please exclude those sms'es from being time stamp'ed and filters may be added to exclude/include a particular contact. Just a Request and not to blame the developer. Great Work !!!

...it does not play nice with SMS Popup. I use SMS popup and have notifications disabled for the stock messaging app. When I press "close" on SMS popup it is supposed to clear the notification from the bar, however since installing SMS Sent Time Fix, the notification remains.

It was driving me crazy not knowing the sent time of my texts and this little app solved the problem. It works brilliantly. Puts Google to shame for not implementing this themselves. Thanks so much Johannes, you're a legend! EDIT: A real shame this no longer works on Android 5 and above :(

This was a perfect little app until i upgraded to KitKat. Why does android STILL not record the sent time? Hopefully you'll find another way for us!

Thank you so much for this work around. Ever since I switched to android in 2011 this has bothered me. I am more frustrated that the android devs don't seem to see this even as a problem. However, this app still works, but needs a rooted phone and app ops, where you set write permission for SMS/MMS. Unfortunately it resets itself from time to time :-(

Wasn't working at first on Lollipop had to enable sms read/ write permission by downloading App Ops Root. Could be better if can resize text size for the " Sent at ....... " ;-)

This works perfect for embedding the timestamp of the time a message was sent to my phone for everyday when I have my phone on airplane mode and I turn it on and don't know when my friends texted me because they used to all come in at the same time and say the time that I turned airplane mode off. Other apps only adjust manually by an offset of hours or minutes but this app really shows you when the text was sent. Works perfect with my HTC Amaze, ice cream sandwich version.

Got a new phone (same kind) and it will no longer work. I have all my settings the exact same. I love this app, it's a huge annoyance not knowing when something was sent especially if the message is urgent and this app typically solves that problem. I just need it to work again

Initially this app is working but suddenly it has stopped. Now it's showing received time only..... I am confused why it has happened....My cell is Samsung galaxy grand duos and android version is 4.2.2... It was excellent app, could you please fix this issue....

It has stopped working on my note 3 Plz fix it I loved this app so much but now it won't work :(

"See you in an hour!" This app is perfect for telling you when the text was sent, not when it was received by your phone. Great for areas of poor coverage or when you're in Aeroplane mode. I only wish there was a "Pro" version so I could tip the dev a couple of Euro :-)

Looks like it hasn't been updated since last year so won't work on newer phones

i used it in my old samsumg pocket and ut works great. but now it does not work in my new lg g2. please help.

Works almost flawlessly on Nexus. Only gets 4 stars because the time stamp isn't always added to a message. So far this has only happened during the rare occasions when an sms is received in the first few seconds during the on-cycle after the phone has been turned off, so I'm happy! Great app ;-)

Doesn't work for new phones. I have a Samsung 7 and it won't work. It used to work on my old Samsung that was pre-galaxy.

Just as it says, got signal problems, so when a text lands it says the time sent.... Excellent thanks.

I had this on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and it was great I loved being able to see what time people had sent a text. However I have just got a Samsung Galaxy S5 and I have downloaded the app onto this new phone but it doesn't work. I wondered if this is because my new phone is 4G and the old one was 3G. Has anyone any ideas.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Core Prime, Android 5.1.1. Doesn't do anything to messages. For a few short minutes, I was able to view the sent time by holding a text and clicking on message details. Then, for some reason, the next text I got didn't show the sent time at all. I've reinstalled this app many times because it's the only one of its kind (from what I've found). Please fix this, whatever it is.

Bought this a couple of months ago but have been unable to get it working. Read on some forums about it needing 'Root' access and something called 'App Ops' with Android 5.x (Lolllipop) phones but there was no mention of this in Play Store when I bought it! :-/ Only 12 months into a 24 month contract so can't invalidate my warranty/risk breaking my handset by rooting. I'm more angry with Google than the author though as looks like they keep moving the goalposts for the poor fella. Real shame.

This worked for me originally, but some time ago it stopped working, I have no idea why. It still appends the supposed "sent time", but now it's always the same as the received time, even when that's incorrect. My carrier is T-Mobile, my phone a Samsung Galaxy Light (model SGH-T399), my Android version 4.2.2.

This is awesome! Didn't work at first but went into menu using app opps starter and turned on to write messages and works now! To the person that developed this......thank you thank you thank you! Networks should do this anyway but you are a genius for this!! Big thumbs up!

App ops is back at least on LG G3, just find sms sent time in app ops and enable write sms/mms and it works, thank you so much!

this app is really great , but now after changing to android lolly pop its not working in my galaxy J7 pl do help me.

Everything works fine in Croatia but after shifting from summer time to winter time the time of sending received SMS is wrong for a full hour and Time zone fix doesn't fix the problem (I know it didn't designed to,but I tried that option). Any help,please.

Doesn't work on Verizon Messenger on LG-G4

I have a Samsung galaxy s4 running Android 5.0.1, and this app just doesn't seem to do anything at all. It says it will add a sent timestamp to the body of the text, but nothing happens.

My greenify app kept hibernating this one so I thought there was a problem. As soon as I fixed it everything has been smooth. I'm loving it.

I cannot get this to work on my s5 even though it states it is compatible! Please help

Its working..but my friend who lives in Wales the txts I receive from there will not show Time Sent ? She is using o2 network..and yet others who are on o2 network in England it works !! ....Help please !!!

I'd love to rate this app higher, because it seemed at first to be just what I was looking for. Sadly, however, the time-stamp appears at the end of my incoming texts no more than about 50% of the time. Is there a fix for that, I wonder?

I loved this app and used it on all my previous Androids .. BUT .. Seems NOT to be working on the new Samsung S6??!

DIZ Z A VERY USEFUL APPLICATION !! Whoever d peraon creatd diz application has given a solution for d maiin pblm in d messages if android mobiles ! Abt times dat it was sent !! Thank ya ! Also we will b veryy tha kful if you or anyone can creat an application to get d real REAL DELIVERD TYMS of d messages dat was sent by us , jst lyk sent time

Does it not work on the Canadian service provider Fido? I have a Samsung Galaxy S6!

Samsung S4. Poor reception at work. Often SMS won't download to my phone for hours after they were sent. Now I know when the SMS was sent and not received - the distinction can be important. The interface is very clean and easy to use. It's a pity it is no longer supported because I would have loved and option to add the time to the body text to SMS that I send. Apparently the source code is available - so if there are any developers out there interested in expanding the original.......

Was awesome, and solved my problem until i got a phone with kitkat.
