Hi all, I'm just wondering if anyone can help me figure out this problem.
I can't seem to find a timestamp on SMS messages for any days other than the current day. So if I received a message at 7.01am today I can see "07:01", however if I want to look at a message I received a few days ago, all I can get is "Oct 3", and bringing up the menu and clicking "View message details" still only shows "Oct 3".
Is there a way to show the entire timestamp? This seems like a terrible oversight if it's not possible to see what time an SMS was sent/receieved for any day other than the current day.
+1. Incredibly annoying "feature".
I am sure it is available in the sms logs, it is just not being shown.
I guess they did it to remove clutter, in the assumption that people wouldn't care about the timestamp of messages from yesterday, but that is just not true. Particularly when it has just gone past midnight!
It is the recency of the message that is important, not whether it arbitrarily happened today or yesterday.
How about ChompSMS and those other SMS apps, do they show them?
Yep!
Handcent SMS is the way forward. The stock messaging app just doesn't cut it...
Back when I was using Symbian nokia, it was easy to see both sent and received time of the text messages I sent. However, in Android all I have is the 'sent' time and no information on when is has been received by the recipient, other than the fact it has been received.
How can I access this info?
It seems to be a known Android limitation. You can check the discussion that is going on since 2009 here:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2989
You might be able to overcome the problem by installing an app called "SMS Timestamper Fix" available on the market.
I believe that only works with the stock messaging app and I have not tested it myself but probably worths a shot.
Good luck.
I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing.
SMS timestamp fixer remedies the issue where the incoming sms is one or two hours out of sync with local time.
What I am talking about is the access to the information when the person I am sending the message to actually received this message - after, say, her phone has been switched on.
The description on the market of the app I mentioned reads:
Description
This app will fix the timestamp on incoming SMS to the time that the message was SENT, not when received by your phone.

I thought that was exactly what you were looking for. But, as I said, I didn't test it. The comments on the market are encouraging though.
No, no, no. This is something totally different to what I want.
I am using SMS timestamp fixer since a long time. It is a totally different problem I am talking about here.
So what you want is a read receipt or delivery notification (with a timestamp) which is also a known problem on Android:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=2305
It seems that Handcent SMS has that function working partially, from what I read on the linked thread. Have you tried that?
From what I see, this is about delivery notification. I am getting it just fine (pending / failed / received).
What I am NOT getting is the information at what time the message has been delivered to the handset.
I have recently purchased an S3 and I am quite happy with it except it is showing one unread message and when you open messages there is not any unread messages.
I have managed to clear it by rebooting my phone and then when I receive another SMS it goes back one unread even though I have read.
How do I clear this annoyance.

Are you using the stock messaging app? I bet you're not... If you have a third-party SMS app, the stock messaging app will continue to register and notify about new messages received, even if they've been read in the third-party app.
To resolve this, just switch off notifications in the stock messaging app.
This is a bug in the firmware, it has been fixed you just need to wait for the OTA to be pushed to your phone

No. This is a problem with some S3s. Check this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1705015
My colleague had this issue and I played around with it on Friday without success but she says that the issue was resolved on Friday and she has received several messages and calls but the 1 is not stuck on the icon after reading the message anymore. I am at a loss as to what I did...
Hello Guy's,
i have a small stupid problem with my bip.:silly:
I have install the last version and since this, if I receive a whatsapp notification always 2 times on the watch!
Is there anywhere a setting in myfit app or on the phone where I can change this behavior?
Other notifications doesn't have the same behavior - only by Whatsapp!!
Thanks for help..
Bertunderni
Me too. Don't know why as well
I'm using Amazfit Tools to fix this. I set to hold multiple notifications for 10 secs...
when someone talks to you with a word and sent, word and sent.. it makes me crazy!
Dear all:
I just bought an AmazFit Bip and despite the watch is really good, i have an issue with the notifications.
I have tested the following issue with both MIFIT and NOTIFY & FITNESS apps from Google play.
The issue is that for most applications ( whataspp and others) when i receive a notification on the phone ,it sends it to the watch....... This is ok but, instead of simply receiving that notification on the watch, the watch start to show OLD notifications ( up to 6 ro 7) before showing the current one.
I have a samsung s8 Plus and I have disabled the "app monitor" to avoid the system killing the application in the background but it does nothing....
Similar behavior with the Notify & Fitness app.... Any Idea why this is happening..... Thanks
It's not just me! I just started wearing my Bip today and the notifications were driving me crazy. I'm running Oreo on an Asus ZenFone 3 so it's not a Samsung-related problem. I'm hoping it's a bug in MiFit that might be fixed in a future release.
Same here as well. This causes me to grab my phone and address or dismiss notification right away so I don't have to keep receiving them on the Bip everytime I get a new notification on the phone. Pretty annoying indeed. Fingers crossed that it will be addressed.
God, I'm so glad I'm not the only one. When you have multiple people messaging at once you CAN'T turn them off because it won't let you on the DND screen. It just vibrates for minutes... .Crazy. Hopefully they fix this.
Thanks God I am not the only one..... This was driving me crazy... Please HELPPPPPP
Yes its iritating..does anyone ever look "tools and amazfit" on playstore? It looks promising
Turn off app and SMS notifications in Mi Fit and use the free Alert Bridge app from the Play Store instead. It's much more customizable than Mi Fit and works perfectly.
Hi all.... It seems that with Alert Bridge app. the situation was resolved for some hours...... However now every time I receive a notification, the watch shows first the previous notifications received ......... before it shows the latest notification..
I do not understand why the watch cannot show only the latest notification received......
PLEASE HELP
Hello
Here my findings over the last few days...
I have an Samsung S8 Plus. What I have done is to deactivate all application notifications in the mifit and start monitoring each of them individually
1.) Whatapp is a mess and does not work with MIFIT . Instead use AlerBridge
2.) the application MESSAGING ( SMS) from Samsung should be deactivated from the MIFIT application. Use the Messaging from MIFIT app, but do not activate messaging in the app list.... This created a lot of issues and double text to me.
Since the last 2 days, it is working for me with almost no issues.
hope it helps

IMO Nofity and Fitness APP does a better job than MI Fit on everything. I completely uninstalled MI Fit app.

Exactly the same for me !
I tried Notify & Fitness and uninstalled Mi Fit and it seems that my Bip was not connected to the phone without Mi Fit. Am I missing something?

I think you need to unbind it in the mifit app and rebind it with the new one.

Since i don't use the Mi fit app anymore, i am not sure, but i remember that there is an option in the menu, to remove the watch from the app, OR you have to click in the menu on the watch and then remove it.
After that, in the N&F app, click on the Repair iin the menu.
Based on the OP description, I think I have a slightly different problem and wonder if anyone else has my problem. I don't receive old notifications again, but it will notify me "endlessly" (it eventually stops, but not with consistency). It usually happens with Hangouts and most often when I have multiple Hangouts messages that aren't dismissed or the notifications read. It's more common with group threads, but definitely happens with one unread, undismissed message notification that is a single person (not group thread). I usually have to both dismiss the notification and mark it as read, and then I'll be able to scroll to the Clear button, though I still have to scroll past the same problem message 10+ times before I can get to it. I can't usually reach the Clear option when this occurs without doing those two things. It isn't every time, but is very annoying and happens often enough to be very irritating. Does this happen to anyone?
I'm on a Pixel 2 running 8.1. Not everyone mentioned their OS, but it seems that Oreo has been common to those noting problems in this thread so far.

Yup, I have exactly the same issue. OnePlus 5 running custom ROM (Oreo). I am going to try the BridgeAlert app.
Does anyone else with a Pixel 2, has the same issue that I have regarding the "hang up" call button doing the same thing as "ignore" when on an incoming call?
Cheers

Do you have Oreo on phone? It seems to be related to Oreo, check other threads about the same issues, not only using BIP but Pace/Stratos too.
