Hello people,

After testing all solutions what i belive is just put your time GMT +5 hrs and you will have no problems, it worked with me i hope it will work for you. If it dont then i am sorry, i just try to help by giving me solution. May be you will have to calculate the difference between time at your place and server………!!!

Mona!!

Hey guys,
Im not usually one to comment. but I had this same issue and im in Kiwiland (aka. New Zealand)
and the way I fixed it was (after a loonnggg time testing every other method) was to turn auto time update OFF permanately, delete all your messages, and set your timezone, (in my case, wellington, New Zealand)
I am running a;
8GB iPhone
1.1.3, Jailbroken.
If you have any other issues or you cannot seem to get my method working, then i apologise. (This may only work for me, or maybe just people in NZ). But so far, it seems to be stable, and working better (well, just working.) compared to other methods.

lebanon, thanks for the comment, I have heard that

chmod 777 /var/db/timezone

does solve the problem for a few users but only those with Jailbroken / hacked iPhones.

connect with ssh then issue command

chmod 777 /var/db/timezone

restart iphone

hopefully “timezone freeze” lets go
