I have a problem with the incoming SMSs ,when I receive a sms the time on it is lagging behind my DELL STREAK set time,when I select either internet time or service provider time. Eg time set through internet is 7.00 PM but when I receive a reply for my msgs/sms it is 6.50 PM ,thus it is lagging behind,and the sequence of the msg thread becomes upside down.If I correct this lag by manually setting the time,my mobile clock becomes 9-10 mins behind actual time.how do i correct this?the sim works fine in other handsets.
 
I know some SMS apps can alter the time stamps on incomming or outgoing messages, to compensate for that kind of thing, without actually changing the phone's clock. I had a look though and handcent, the one I use only does it in 1 hour blocks. You may have luck with some other SMS apps.
