I have a very weird problem with the app: it doesn't show the correct time passed since the Status has been posted. And here is the weird part: on the emulator it works perfectly, it shows the correct time elapsed (eg: 10 minutes ago), but on an actual smartphone (I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S2 v2.3.3) it shows the time elapsed since the Status has been inserted into the database. Any ideas why?

I tested your source code, and it looks that it behaves the same: on the emulator is perfect, but on the actual phone it gives me the time when the statuses have been "downloaded".

Hmm, I'm pretty sure we get the createdAt time from the cloud and calculate relative time with System.currentTimeInMillis(). I'm not sure why it'd be different on real device.
