Description
Background infos on this app: http://goo.gl/7jW8rz###################
IMPORTANT:
THIS APP WILL NOT WORK ON ANDROID 4.4 (KitKat) or ANY NEWER ANDROID VERSION!
Since Android 4.4 Google improved the security mechanisms for SMS. Normal apps cannot write the system SMS database anymore. Also since Android 4.4 the SMS framework should store itself the sent time.
So THIS APP IS NO LONGER NEEDED FOR MODERN ANDROID VERSIONS!
It was only a workaround, back then. It will no longer be developed and is only online for historical reasons.
###################
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).
-------
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! :-)

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.
Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew
1 ★Looks like it hasn't been updated since last year so won't work on newer phones
5 ★Sms times only showin received time rather than sent on my Sgs2 on three. This fixed the annoying problem. Download!!!!
5 ★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.
3 ★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.
5 ★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.)
5 ★Great app from someone who just wanted to share. Why this hasn't been done before (or isn't standard information on all android phones, god only knows!) Well done Sir :)
4 ★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 ;-)
3 ★I was so very happy with this for ages and then it suddenly stopped working. Have tried uninstalling and re-installing and it's still not working. Help!
1 ★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.
2 ★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.
5 ★No problems from me. Bummer that it won't get any future updates, though.
5 ★Just as it says, got signal problems, so when a text lands it says the time sent.... Excellent thanks.
