I have noticed a strange issue when receiving a delivery confirmation for SMS messages. In Messaging / Settings / Text message, the Delivery report option is set to On. However, in the message saying that the mesage has been delivered to recepient, the time is not correct. It is 2 hours ahead of the time on the phone itself. The time and time zone (GMT+1 daylight saving) have been correctly set and the time of sending shown in Message details is correct too. So, the wrong time is shown only in the delivery confirmation pop-up message. Anyone faced with the same glitch? Readjusting time / time zone did not help. Any ideas how to fix this?

One more thing, is the slight movement of the closed battery cover - up and down and left to right (without any risk of it opening by itself) normal, or it should remain absolutely firm?

Thanks in advance for any useful input.

About the SMS confirmation, I have that problem to and I do not think it has anything to do with the phone, but more to do with the recipients phone or the network time. The delivery confirmation is sent from the recipients phone and therefore is set to that person's time, I think I am correct.
As for the battery cover, mine is fine and does not budge

Hate to say this but the phone will show the correct time as that's what it is set to, but we are now in GMT-1 not +1 which might explain the 2 hours difference in times shown is my guess. Don't have a W850 so no idea about the battery cover sorry, hope this helped.

No scratches / problems with the slide on mine yet (thankfully).

However, I did find a very basic solution to the issue of battery cover looseness. I simply had to stick two layers of small pieces of sellotape on the inside of the cover on the left and right-hand side edge and the bottom edge and put it back in place. Now it holds firm. Hopefully, the heat produced when charging the battery will not adversely affect either the battery or the adhesive tape due to the contact between them... (?)

By the way, jack77777, I assume you bought your phone that has the same problem in the UK?

Mine is a UK model as well. They might belong to the same faulty batch. I was just wondering whether anyone else experienced this...
