Thanks. I'm not a fan of Hangouts, do you know of any others that have
fixed this? I checked Pulse, someone had actually already proposed
fixing this but the developer feels it's not a priority. Oh well.

I always have that on so no help there. There are even patches on the
net for this issue and the problem really seems to be that Google's code
explicitly gets current time from the OS and stores that. Presumably
most SMS apps are based on that code too since it's free.
