text message from 1st of jan 1970?

[gamermole]

Hello all I have just received a text message that was sent twice to my phone.... The messages both read the same and was from a friend but the first one said sender me and the time stamp was 1st of Jan 1970..... What's up?

Sounds like the time/date is wrong on one of the phones

 

[gamermole]

Oh right it just looked odd that's all.... Thank you very much.... Also just a,quick one when I send a,text I get a little letter with a clock next to it in the bottom right I'm presuming this means it's sending or trying to send. But should this appear with every text I send? It dissapears and sends the text roughly a second later but does that always appear?

Delivery report turned on?

This used to happen to me all the time on Tapatalk, but never with messaging apps. Is either you or your friends device rooted?

S5 tap'n

 

[gamermole]

Nope neither are rooted. It's only happened once and I'm using my standard message app on the HTC one m8

Have never seen it in a messaging app either..

 

[gamermole]

Hmmmmm weird I wish I screenshot it now

 

[gamermole]

I received the same message twice I wonder if it had trouble getting to me through my provider.

I tend to doubt it.. I'm thinking a one time event..

Weird things happen.
My son sent me a text once and it made no sense. He couldn't understand why it didn't make sense, so I sent him a screen shot.
The first 8 or 10 words were from the beginning of his text, then the following 8 to 10 words didn't come from him. It was like his text to me got intertwined with someone else's text, and I received half of his text, and half of someone else's text.

Sounds like 2 messages collide and you get a bit of each.. That's technology..lol
