    And so far I absolutely love her phone

    BUT

    ONE WEIRD GLARING PROBLEM

    On the iPhone, text messages show up like this

    yo (11:18)
    --------------------------------------how's it going (11:19)
    good (11:19)
    ---------------------------------------cool (11:20)

    You get the point. The messages are staggered based on the order in which sent/received.

    On her S3, All received messages are grouped together and all sent messages are groups together and they don't appear in a linear thread

    Hey (11:18)
    Going good (11:19)
    ------------------------Whats up? (11:18)
    ------------------------That's good (11:20)

    For example.

    What.
    The.
    Fuck?

    How can I fix/change this before it drives my mother insane???

    Its seems like her time is off. If you go to Setting> Date and Time, make sure that her time is set to automatic.

    Messages are sent on servers, so if the time on her phone is off the message will be logged under an earlier time than the phone registers as it receives it.

    I'm going to be getting an S4 in September or October, so this is good practice for me to learn it! I've had an iPhone since 2009, time for a change!
