“Verizon last week released Android 2.2, or Froyo, for the Droid
X smartphone through an over-the-air update, but users are
complaining that the upgrade caused a messaging bug — the newest
messages no longer automatically top the list — but Motorola
appears to be planning another software patch to resolve the SMS
problem.

“Late last week Droid X owners who received the OTA update began
posting messages in the Motorola user forum about the Droid X SMS
bug, saying that new messages were no longer being pushed to the
top of their messaging list, due to a glitch in the time stamp
mechanism.

“The messages are being incorrectly sorted because the time
stamp from the contact history is defaulting to GMT instead of the
users’ respective time zones, despite the stock text message app
displaying the correct time, according to the Motorola forum thread
posts.”
