SMS Sent Time
Discription:
To be fair, I have to tell you, that I won’t continue to implement further changes or fixes into this app. This version will stay the last and final one. I will keep it here in the Play Store as still a lot of people find it useful.

But please understand, that for now I don’t have the time to continue working on this app. Initially I created this just for myself, and just published it later as many people convinced me to do so. I appreciate all the positive feedback! 
I did this completly in my spare time, without earning money from ads or donations (and I don’t want any).
I just want to give this to the community.
If someone is interested in the source code, feel free to contact me, but please understand that I won’t give any support.

Adds the time when an SMS was ACTUALLY SENT to your messages (only useful for devices which just show the receive time of SMS, eg. Galaxy S).
******
CURRENT NOTE (regarding some market comments): Unfortunately it is impossible on principle to add the sent time to messages which have been received before this app was installed. Sorry about that, it’s technically impossible.

IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF “Handcent SMS” (version 4.0.0 or greater):
Please check the following option in the settings of Handcent SMS (otherwise this app won’t work): In menu under “Settings”->”Application settings”->Default Messaging application” and make sure that it is set to “Disable”!
Otherwise Handcent SMS wil block any other SMS app!
——-
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS OF “Go SMS”:
Do not disable stock’s notifications from Go SMS (“Receive Settings”->”Disable other message notification”) other wise Go SMS will block any other SMS app!
——-
It appends the sent time to the message text (the original timestamp will be kept untouched). Should work with all SMS Apps (Handcent SMS, chompSMS, Go SMS, etc..). Depends on SMS implementation details and your provider, so maybe doesn’t work everywhere. Some SMS apps also may be confused if another app appends something to the message text in background. So please leave a comment whether it’s working with your device/provider/app or not. Thanks!

DETAILS:
——————–
Many Android devices only display the timestamp when a message was received (not sent). This is a problem when you receive messages while your phone is turned off (or has no network coverage). In this case you don’t know when the message was really sent (as you only see the received time when you turn on the phone again).
Also allows to add the SMSC (sms service centre) number from where the message was sent (technical stuff for people who are interested).

ABOUT:
——————–
Ad-free! Resource-efficient: does not run as a background service, only gets started by Android when a SMS is received.
Another thing: I develop this only in my spare time, so please understand if it’s not perfect (and give me feedback).

TECHNICAL:
——————–
Tested successfully with Austrian providers. Theoretically it may be possible that the added sent time may be incorrect (different tiomezone) if the SMS service centre of the sender is located in a different timezone.

EXPLANATION OF PERMISSIONS:
————————————————
- “RECEIVE SMS”: necessary for reading the sent time out of the received SMS data package from the mobile provider
- “EDIT SMS OR MMS”: necessary for adding the sent time to the message in the device’s SMS database
- “READ SMS OR MMS”: necessary for looking up the message to edit in the sms database
- “MODIFY/DELETE SD CARD CONTENTS”: necessary for writing logfile to SD (when logging is enabled)
Have fun while texting!
