That's why I mentioned moving to a different SMS client (I mentioned
Hangouts but there are others) that provides both the sent and received
times of a text; i.e., use a client to bring back functions built
intrinsic to itself that Google took away from its OS.  Additionally,
the fix may be nothing more than enabling the auto time & date setting
in the OS.  Worth a try before installing software to compensate for
something Google took away in its OS.
