Year 2010/2016 Bug Affecting Windows Mobile Users

[Cory Streater]

Check out this article from one of our sister sites WMExperts. A great day to NOT be on Windows Mobile. I'm glad I switched to the DROID!

I have friends being affected by this today and I've encouraged them all to make the switch

lol. Doesn't do much for some of us.

It's not a big deal, and I don't see why it's something to laugh at. Android has plenty of bugs itself. It's not as if the texts were disabled or something, it's just a number bug.

It was a big deal to my housemate because it screwed up the order that his texts were coming, making the threaded conversations prior to 1/1 senseless.

Here's the latest update:

Update 3.5: It's fixed! A temporary workaround has been found: Download this .cab and give a thanks to Ziggy471 & Scientific for working on this issue! We still need an "official" patch from HTC, LG, etc. on this issue, but for now, the above trick will work. The Ziggy patch works by using your device time instead of the SMS gateway server to record time sent.

Windows Mobile still exists? How sad...
