I uninstalled Google Talk (accidentally) via Titanium Backup. Obviously a decent screw up as it kills a lot of services without it.
I tried searching for a posted apk, but no luck. Tried extracting it from the roms used in toasts root method, but failed.
I'm an idiot. Flame away, but help, please.

You're not an idiot because you made a mistake...you're not an idiot period.
I removed it too and I just downloaded damage control, unzipped it, went through the folders, and grabbed gtalkservice.apk out of it, pushed it to my phone and voila...buttt I attached it for you anyhow...
Cheers, mate. I'll give it a shot now.
EDIT: ooo, I love you. If you're ever in Gainesville, FL, I'll buy you a beer. Just PM me! hah
This could be a stupid question but humor me please. What is google talk for??? I've set it up to not activate automaticly but it does anyways killing my battery. Is it needed?
It's a messaging app, like instant messenger type. I don't know if you can actually delete the apk without problems occurring. I wouldn't imagine it eats too much of your battery though.
GTalk as system service
I feel the same as the original poster.....like an idiot.
I deleted the GTalk application as I was not using it and was trying to free up more space. However, I started receiving the "com.google.process.gapps" error soon thereafter.
In looking through forums and the internet, it appears that is a very common error with many causes. However, having the android sdk, it was suggested to use adb to get a bugreport.
In looking at my bugreport, I saw a lot of references to calls to the GTalk service. It is an underlying system service and it appears used by other apps as well. For example, I noticed that my GMail was not syncing consistently and I found myself manually refreshing to get it to sync.
I also noted that almost without fail, when I installed new apps in the Marketplace, I would see the "com.google.process.gapps" error.
My recommendation: Keep GTalk on your phone!
i did the same thing.
What does it mean to push a file to your phone? I dragged into onto my sd card and it still is giving me errors in the marker and constantly syncing...
Help!
This may sound really dumb but how do i go about installing the apk file? it tells me that im not allowed to cuz Google talk isnt referenced in the android market
Google services on your phone rely heavily on GTalk, as you guys are seeing. Even if you don't use it you need to keep it if you want to use pretty much any google apps such as the market, gmail, etc.
To install just put the apk on your sdcard, navigate to it using your favorite file explorer and click on it. Your phone has an installer that will recognize the apk as such and ask you if you want to install it.
Because RavenII was kind enough to post the apk you guys should be able to do all of this right from your phones.
*edit- I don't think it will be a problem but if you are not rooted you might get hung up on the install... wait a second.. if you're not rooted then you wouldn't have been able to remove it in the first place haha
I uninstalled Gtalk and everything is still working fine on my Evo no problems here.

Is google voice important? I uninstalled that and I am having issues getting voicemail but I dont think its because of google voice. I was messing with voicemail the last few days and now I cant get it to work.

GVoice is awesome, I use it and love it so I'm curious why you got rid of it but NO, it is not critical to anything on your phone, you can get along just fine without it.
If you were using gvioce and now you are not then you need to be sure you've done the following:
-Dial *38 and hit send. The call will drop and your gvoice line will be disassociated with your phone
-Under menu>settings>call_settings>voicemail_service make sure it is set to "my carrier"
-Under menu>settings>call_settings>voicemail_settings make sure your Voicemail number is set to your cellphone number
That should get you up and running.
I will offer this: I don't know what caused you to decide not to use gvoice but I had tons of problems with my Sprint voicemail service interfering with gvoice. I called Sprint and had them actually remove voicemail service from my account. GVoice has been flawless since then.
Looks like a spoke too soon. Sync keeps getting stuck at the google contacts part, gives me an error saying "sync is currently experiencing problems. it will be back shortly."
Anybody know what gtalk (or any other critial programs) has to do with this?

lol, I almost posted that you must have some special setp because you would be the first.. but I didn't want to sound like an a-hole..
I don't know specifically what it is in gtalk that maintains google services, it's probably the program they use to maintain the google accounts database..
Correct me if im wrong, but I thought there was a thread that confirmed that in froyo Gtalk isn't really necessary in order for all the other Gapps to run correctly. I know for sure I don't have Gtalk installed and everything is working fine in my Evo.

How do I forward calls to my google voice number? My carrier is google voice and my voice mail number is my google voice number. If you call my phone number it doesnt forward to google voice voice mail. However if you call my google voice mail number and leave me a voice mail I get a Gvoice message. So its working so why not stick with it. I originaly didnt want to use it because i had to sign in and I didnt want it wasting battery lol.
Edit; Never mind I think i was expecting the wrong number to forward lol its working. I guess this means I will have to give everyone my google voice number now. I was kinda hoping I could forward my number to my google voice number. Or can I after typing this edit I confused my self great lol.
Off-topic.
I got fed up and reflashed DC3.5.

Hi,
I would like to keep my voicemails when I am trying out other roms. I have a Nand backup & when I restore to Fresh 03 (what I use the most) I have my voicemails. I am guessing they are located somewhere on the internal storage vs the SD card.
Is there a way to backup & restore those files as well? I would guess I could copy them from \voicemails (or where ever they are) to \sd\richtj99\data, then copy them back once I flashed?
Thanks
Rich
I can't believe I'm answering this... voicemail is flowing magically around you...
*you grab a colorful wave of sheer delight...
BEHOLD! I have flashed your phone so that it never loses its voicemail in a flash...
now its as if your voicemail stays in the network
Ok, I guess I will restate the question. My voicemails seem to be physically downloaded to my phone. When i reflash, all my old voicemails are gone. So when I try a new rom, I only have all new voicemails.
I am glad that voicemails flow all around you, but on my Evo, they dont repopulate as downloads.
Maybe its due to the visual voicemail?

I lol'd
best way is to get a GV account and the GV app and set up your phone for conditional forwarding(make GV your voicemail) and then they are all saved and transcribed when you get new ones.(it's like magic)
You can also email your voicemails to yourself in order to back them up.
Using ADB or any root file manager you can backup you voicemails below. I use root explorer instead of ADB because I usually flash my rom when I don't have a computer.
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.coremobility.app.vnotes C:\com.coremobility.app.vnotes
Wipe and Flash your rom and
Code:
adb push C:\com.coremobility.app.vnotes /data/data/com.coremobility.app.vnotes
adb reboot recovery
Once you are in recovery do a fix uid permission and restart (fix uid permission should be in the other on the menu). If you do not complete step then when you restart your phone you will loose all your voicemails that you have restore. I hope this help you.
Edit: The fix uid permission is assuming you are using Amon_Ra's recovery for Evo.
Get Google Voice. Problem solved.

Come on now, that was not called for. He asked a legitimate question that I'm willing to bet a lot of the members may not know the answer to. That response was not helpful in the least and is counterproductive to the purpose of this site. In the future, for the sake of maintaining an atmosphere that is conducive to helping one another, please refrain from making such negative and demeaning posts. It is totally uncalled for, unnecessary, and unacceptable.
I would second using Google Voice. It integrates so well with Android it's almost a shame not to use it.

Visual voicemail stores them on your phone even if you delete them in the IVR prompts when calling. He wants to know what directory they are stored in. Good job making fun of somebody for not knowing something when you didn't know how it worked yourself.

EXACTLY!!! This forum is getting out of hand with some of the people's nasty attitudes. People are getting to be so quick to want to jump on someone for the slightest thing. I thought the OP asked a very good question yet even still he gets attacked for no reason. Guys, WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THIS. Simply put, if you don't have anything nice/useful to say then don't say anything.
I agree with some people jumping in and giving comments that is not needed and does not even help the OP. I hope my first reply to him help him backup his voicemail as it does for me.
Everyone is thinking way too much about this one. Just use TB, problem solved. OP, look at the guide in my sig for more information.
Also, if you want to avoid some of the comments you received, post questions in the Q/A section. That is what it is for. Not saying those comments are justified...

Good, informative answer. Thanks, coderli.
I extracted my voicemails from a DATA backup and put them on my sdcard. You can leave the voicemails on the sdcard and play them using OI or Astro. You do lose the info on who it's from and when, but at least you have the audio.
As for the rest of you if you don't actually have the answer to the question, why are you even replying? (rhetorical)
I use YouMail. it's awesome. You can have a custom greeting for anyone (music, clips from shows, cartoons) and it shows the persons name (first and last, like caller ID does) if they are not in your contacts. Oh, and it also saves the voicemails on their servers so you can flash different roms and still keep all your voice mails. Only thing is it costs money to transcribe and the voicemails dont get to you right away sometimes.

I have successfully been able to set up google voice on my 101 to send and receive sms messages. Install google voice from the market, go through the set up as if you were installing on your phone (you must have a google voice number). Once set up just start texting, it will work on both devices at the same time. You will also be able to get any voice mail you have set up with it. I also have been albe to set up Tango video chat using my google voice number. I now have almost everything thats on my EVO working on my 101. Still working on a possible way to make calls, will post if I can get it working. Hope this helps someone else like it did for me.

No nothing special, it only took me a couple minutes. It asked me witch phone I was using and I told it my evo, then skip the carrier setup and it works. Dont know why it would be force closing, didn't have any issues with google voice or Tango video chat. Do you have google voice set up on another device? Mine is set up on my evo, so when it asks what I wanna use I tell it my evo.

OH, no. The google voice is just supported at USA.
How can I change my location or network location to USA?
Anybody get anywhere on this?
I am trying to do the same thing... I wanted to see if anybody has made any real progress with this.
I keep reading that the SIPdroid and PBX account will work, but I can not configure it properly. I am having a hard time here.
I have Fring installed as well.
I have had a Google voice account for a year now and I have it working on the Archos 101 tablet already. The text and voicemail works great.
Thought that I would revive this thread a little since it is something that I am very interested in.
I had it set up at one point, using Sipdroid. but then my archos got fried and now I am stuck at the "setting up voicemail" part... sucks. when i get it figured out I will let you know how exactly to get it running.

You can use the edited apk from the Xoom forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11955195&postcount=75
Edit: ****
You do not need to be rooted to use this. Download the apk and then run it. When prompted for which phone you are using, select your regular phone, as was previously mentioned by jeffsanace.
I used to be a hater of Sense ROMS, but a few months ago I decided to go with MikG3.11 and am rather pleased with it. Very fluid once you set up V6 and other tweaks. I used to use Google Voice with my decks 1.3d setup, however, I lived in a rural area and used Google Voice mainly to text on wifi since I had no signal.
I have since moved and have service everywhere and want to try and use Sprints VM app, but Idk how to get the visual voicemail to work. Do I have to actually subscribe or is there a work around?
Bump? :XX
VVM in mikg works already.... You don't need to subscribe. What exactly is the problem?
When you receive a voicemail, just open the voicemail app, and click on it. It should open it and have a GUI instead of a dialer

The Voice-to-Text feature of VVM is a subscription service. You typically get a 30-day free trial prior to subscribing, but after that, yes, some fee gets charged to your Sprint bill.
I think that's what you're asking.
Ah, ok. So all the threads I've seen is to just get the app. There is no way to actually get VVM unless you subscribe then. Shame really, I enjoyed the feature on Google Voice, but since I now live in an area with service, I'm trying to break away from it because I never did really enjoy it. Unless somebody knows how to have it alert for JUST voicemails, and not texts, as I now use a different messenger app, would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!

It handles Voicemails by default. That part is free.
that part I know, but I always liked being able to take a glance at it and get a basic idea of what the message was about.... but 2$ a month... it's not bad, but I already get charged a stupid fee of 5$ for a "spending limit" that they qualified me for of which I didn't ask
My Sprint voicemail disappeared. I have no idea if some buttons got pushed while my phone was in my pocket, or if I have some kind of virus, or if maybe a recent program i downloaded did something, but that voicemail is nowhere to be found on my phone and I did not uninstall it. The only evidence it was ever there is a folder on the sd card named smvvm, where there are a bunch of voicemails. Incidentally, the friendstream page disappeared also maybe about a month or two ago, but I don't really care about that. The last program I downloaded was Lookout, but I haven't even set it up yet. Seems like voicemail has been gone for a week or two. I just want to get it back working the way it was a couple of weeks ago. The reason i'm posting here is because my phone is rooted. The problem here is that I rooted right after gingerbread 2.33 came out and i have not touched it since, and I have no idea what I used or how i did it. But everything was working fine, i even did the trial voice to text thing (that wasn't all that great- at least not good enough to pay for) So, I can't call sprint for support on this. The only thing I have backed up is text messages, i did not install (or at least do not remember installing) anything to make an image of the phone, is there a way i can just get the file to install the current sprint voice mail without having to do a factory reset and have to go through all the stuff to re root?/
Just get Google voice. Its way better anyways. Or ask someone on here to post the vvm.apk .....don't stress bud. Its a real easy fix

Search is your friend (or at least it's supposed to be). And I don't see why you wouldn't be able to call Sprint - VVM is free, only the transcription feature is a subscription service. Not that they could help you with this anyway . . .
So, I allowed my phone to update the vvm client today and sprint (or whoever wrote the pos) has decided that I can no longer use the VVM at all unless I look at ads or pat money for the privilege.
I know that a vvm client is included in stock marshmallow, as shown at
source.android.c.o.m.<slash>devices<slash>tech<slash>config<slash>voicemail.html
(the board wont let me post links cause im new, I totally understand although the board realizing that that link would not be spam might be nice)
The question is how to shutdown or bypass the crap that sprint has forced upon all it's users that have the temerity to think that they should be able to receive voicemail without paying extra or watching ads. I would be happy to but can't figure out how to go back to the "voicemail stored on the server" mode and turn off vvm entirely
.
I don't use any of the silly extra "features" that they previously charged for or required ads for and this latest update brings nothing new, it just forces ads on me.
Is there an APK I can install?
Do I have to root and change the rom?
I really haven't ever had to get at all "technical" with my phone because previously, it pretty much did what I wanted without pissing me off.
At this point I will learn whatever I have to not to give those f*ing vampires another thin dime.
If this is the wrong forum, I apologize and ask to be directed to the right forum.
Thanks a ton.
There are all sort of free and paid in the playstore, I personally use youmail

The latest forced "upgrade" from smithmicro leaves you with half screen ads for free or no ads for $0.50 a month or the "premium" features (avatars and really poorly done voice to text) for $2.99/month.
I don't see why I should have to pay a 3rd party provider for a function that is part of android, I don't use the voice to text.
Before visual voicemail, you had to call to get your voicemail, even now a long press on 1 will get you the sprint voice mailbox, it's where they are initially stored before vvm downloads them to your phone.

What is your ver number? I can disable them
You can freeze or uninstall vvm.
I just used my voicemail this morning and haven't seen anything about a mandatory update. I have had big problems with the updates in the past via the "General Failure" error which is my reason to dread vvm updates lol

Sorry, shortly after posting that I uninstalled all the updates I did not record the version # first.
I am now dealing with the sprint pre-installed version demanding that I do the mandatory update (there is no button for "later" after the first time) but if I start the update then abort it I can use the app until I close it. I am unable to uninstall it totally.
I suspect a staged rollout to see how many people complain and how loudly. I am in the Chicago metro area.
Irritatingly enough, other than the 2 archived messages ALL my voicemail disappeared, nothing irreplaceable was lost but it was an unpleasant surprise.
How do I "freeze" the app?

If you are rooted then TB will uninstall it for free but you need the paid version to freeze. You can use most any root explorer and delete the apk. Or twrp. But you should let it update I think it was a bad update, I updated and its still ad disabled.
