HTC Incredible, Possible to timestamp incoming texts with a "sent" time?

Hi all.

New here

Is there away to have the time a text was sent from someone, as opposed to just what time it arrives at the handset? The only reason I ask is that my phone is off at night, and I'd like to know what time incoming texts were sent

My old LG Chocolate 3 would do this... you figure a $600 phone should be able to

Thanks

The phone has no way to collect and record the sent time of a messages as it is off. When it is off, it is a glorified paperweight.

I would interested to hear from another Chocolate 3 owner to verify what you stated. I dont know how it could, 'know' the time a message was sent if truly powered down.

It's not just the chocolate 3, any of the older LG phones, including enV and vx8600 (those 2 examples I know for sure because I owned them) had this feature.

As a note, I just looked at 2 of my co-workers phones, they shut them off and I sent a text. Waited 5 min and turned them back on.

Phone displays "Sent time" and "Stored time" Both phones are LG... maybe this was just an LG thing? Still would be very dumb to not include it on such a "sophisticated" phone

I have to say that is a neat feature on the LG's. I stand corrected! Ya may want to go to the HTC site and leave an email on that suggestion for upcoming updates.

Thank you everyone for your support.
Verizon, any updates for us?

I think it is an HTC issue more than Verizon. The reason I say that is you mentioned the LG's posts the sent time. That tells me the phone and the pointers programmed in the phone determine where to look for the time.

I apologize that the phone is designed to received notification time stamped on arrival. After researching that phone and a lot of other phones the HTC Incredible is not the only device that receive messages time stamped once it is alerted on your device.

Please put in a request to have an UPDATE applied to the Droid Incredible so that the messages are STAMPED on network received time, not delivery time.

I know this is possible, as other phones, including my Blackberry have done this. My blackberry told me exactly when it reached the other party's handset - A DROID should be able to do that and more!

Ok, so it's been a year since the last post on this, is this being addressed? Still no time stamp for

when a text is sent??
