A fix that actually works (for JB phones as you need SSH)
SSH into root of phone
rm /var/db/timezone/localtime
ls /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/

get the code for your timezone and remember it (mine is GMT)

ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/(code) /var/db/timezone/localtime

mine was ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/Etc/GMT /var/db/timezone/localtime


props to rgates on the MMi forums for this

Can anyone confirm this? I'm having the same issue!

1) posted on Apple's site days ago
2) Been other threads on this fix
3) Engadget was late on posting the fix
4) This was also posted in Macrumors iPhone blog.




This works for like 2% of people too, if that. Sorry to sound like a jerk, but this fixes nothing.

Nick, did you not find that editing the timezone through ssh work? instantly fixed it for me!

I just tried it, will let you know how it works for me!

EDIT: Did it move all your existing messages into the correct order or just the new ones? All my existing ones are still in the wrong order.

I don't have a JB iPhone anymore, so i can't try it 🙁

 

[labcondave]

Me neither

I had previously fixed this by setting my iphone time to the official atomic clock time on www.time.gov

When the apple fix was published, i tried it and it made the problem re-appear!

set the time back to the atomic clock and it is working... one thing is though, there doesn't seem to be a way to set the time to the exact second.

yeah it works and i am glad i hated that all my text where out of order.

 

[straff2002]

hollerz yeah it's only your new ones that will be fixed
Cheers

This seems to be working for me so far! 😀
