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 guys,
is there a way not to auto log-in to the facebook chat with the new app?
I don't want to be available the whole time. After logging off from the chat in the app, I press chat and I'm online without asking me if I want to.
Thanks guys

I thought I was the only one with this problem.....
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
I absolutely hate this. I never use the chat and clicked on it by accident... Now not only does it log me on in the app automatically, it refreshes the login automatically, too.
For example, I open the Facebook app on my phone (I don't even have to open chat, just the app) and now I'm logged in. If I go to Facebook on my desktop, I'm still logged into chat there as well. So I log out. An hour later I open up Facebook on the desktop and guess what? I'm logged in again. The Facebook app is re-logging me in remotely (and automatically) from another device.
I'm seriously thinking about uninstalling the app and just using the mobile site in the browser. This is getting ridiculous.
gravis, why not just download an older version of Facebook? Like 1.4.3 or whatever was right before 1.5.0 with Chat?
Because the older versions of Facebook suck?
Does it log you into chat automatically whenever you have Facebook open? I'm not sure if it does that or log you into chat once you click chat..if it does that once you click chat then it shouldn't be a problem.
I wonder myself because I don't want people think I'm on Facebook 24/7 as I have the Facebook widget and I stay logged into Facebook to get updates to my news feed.
It's logging me in anytime I open the app. I have only ever clicked on chat once. However, rebooting my phone seems to have fixed the issue; though I'm assuming once I click on chat it'll start all over again.
So simple solution: reboot and never click the chat button again :-( it's a shame we have to do this...

Yeah that makes sense, seeing as the literal only difference between 1.4.X and 1.5.0 was Chat.
That's it. Nothing else.
What a ****ty application.
Hey folks.
Is this problem solved?
For me personal it is a shame. All my friends want to write in the chat.
Any. Yes. My FB app is not on.!!!!
So. If i ever click on the FB chat im always connected in the net..
How to solve that problem. FB touch isn´t so great and the other apps. Nope....
So? Any ideas. I won´t klick "go offline" on every FB session!
how can i downgrade my facebook app? do i just have to scour the net for the previous version and download, or can i somehow downgrade through the market?
I use ebuddy from the market. You can pick wich IM clients to log in and out of.

If Facebook was one of the built-in apps on your phone (i.e., located in the /system/apps directory), you should be able to just uninstall it (it will only uninstall the market update and not touch the built-in version). If it wasn't built-in, then you'll either need a backup of the old version or search for it.
All you have to do is go to the app, go into chat press menu and then click go offline. This way you will be offline even after reboots.
Hey guys, before I begin I want to say yes I did a search on XDA and searched around Google for about an hour and couldnt find an answer.
Im wondering if it is possible through your phone to check recent activity or if its possible to get a notice if someone is trying or has accessed your Gmail account from another computer. yes I know if you log into gmail through a browser you can scroll down and click recent activity and see all the ip address that have accessed your account. I spend about 90% of my time on my phone and rarely use a computer so having a notification on my phone would be very useful.
Thanks guys

Nope. Your only choice is a browser. However, if you use 2-step authentication and a good password, you should be safe.

Could you logon via the phone's browser to check recent activity like you can from a desktop's browser? I haven't heard of a capability of that nature with the exception of accounts via a corporate server. That is not to say that is does not exist. I'm just unaware of it.

https://www.google.com/accounts/SmsAuthConfig
Go there and go through the setup. Note the following:
1) When they say "lose your phone/these codes and you won't be able to access your account", THEY MEAN IT. If you lose Google Authenticator/the phone number you SMS to, your backup phone number, AND the codes they give you, you are BONED.
2) Any program or device that logs in directly to your account (Chrome Sync, Cloud Print, your phone, Trillian, PBXes, etc.) will need an application-specific password. There's instructions on how to do this, but you will not be able to retrieve said password once you have generated it and clicked the "hide password" button.
3) You will have to enter the generated code on your phone at each new browser you try to log in to your account from, both the first time, and every 30 days.
Try this one: SignMeOut
as featured on Lifehacker "Sign Me Out Helps You Track Unauthorized Access to Your Gmail and Facebook Accounts" and Comments.
But please consider you are giving your gmail credentials out to another 3rd party app / organisation. You possibly don't improve your Gmail security but lose some of it.
Please decide yourself.

I know the password and and email is right because i use the same to login on a pc or the mobile broswer, but it just won't let me login or the facebook app from the market. any suggestions?
Did you try uninstalling/reinstalling? Is your version of Facebook outdated?
Well the only way i can remove facebook for htc sense is by forcing an uninstall using super manager. I been flashing a few ROMs recently and noticed it wouldn't work. I have no idea when it stopped working. I just found a ROM I liked and decided to start linking my accounts.
Oh, I was under the impression you were using the market Facebook. Try downloading it from the market. I never link my Facebook to HTC Sense, I skip it, and I download the one from the market.

I recommend Synergy or Shooter(Joel's or wildstang's). They are solid roms.
I think it's a FB issue. It always worked for me but now won't work on any ROMs.

Check your Facebook Account>Security>Login Approvals setting from your PC. If it is set to Required, every time you flash a new ROM and reinstall a Facebook app, FB sees a new, unauthorized device and sends an SMS to the device with a numeric code for you to enter instead of your password.

Ive looked at this setting as it was suggested to me over in the thunderbolt-synergy thread, and it was disabled. Ive had this same problem for a couple days now after installing a new rom. Even going to a backup, it keeps telling me to re-enter my password when I try to sync my facebook account, and then tells me I entered a wrong user name or password. I do think it is a problem on facebooks end, but the weird thing is my girlfriend is having no problems with signing in to facebook for htc sense or the market facebook app.
I'll try the facebook account settings, but every ROM I flash it doesn't make a difference.

The facebook account settings didnt make a difference to me. Still wont let me sign in.
So I found a method that worked for me to fix HTC sense. I created a new email account with gmail and made it my new primary email with facebook. That's under account settings. Once I made it the new primary, i tried htc sense and it worked. Logged me right in. Let me know if this works I can give more detailed instructions per request.

maybe you guys can help me with this problem. I recently had to hard reset my phone, but after re installing the app Facebook for HTC Sense it no longer tells me via notification bar which of my contacts has updated there facebook status. it used to show the people Icon with a syncing/refresh ring and tell me which of my contacts updated their status and pressing this would take me to my people app. is there anywhere on my phone where i can enable this? im on a Droid Inc
When, if ever, can we expect this in the UK? I have come from iPhone which had all my music on and could purchase anything via iTunes, to my nexus which I can't do neither on. Apart from this small problem, I love my phone buy I do miss these things. I know there are ways to pretend you are in the USA but just wondering if its going to be official in the future. Also, what apps are people using to purchase/download music?
Thanks and happy Christmas!

Only google knows when it'll roll out. If I was you I would trick your way into the market with a us account. The only other option I could think is amazon mp3 store, but I don't think they rolled it out internationally yet either. But I prefer Google music app and service over amazon.

Hi Guys,
Sorry for bumping an old post.
I have a google music account, I did it through a proxy, I also have the app by using market enabler to be able to install it.
How do I actually upload music? Do I have to use a proxy to do this? if so it's kinda a waste of time, i'll wait till it's officially released.

You don't need to upload via a proxy, sign in to the Music page online and download the app 'Music Manager' I think. It runs in the background on your PC. Word of warning though it takes forever! Also make sure your tags are correct as once your music is uploaded it's a pain to edit.
The only problem with that though, is when I try to access the music page online without a proxy, I get "We're sorry. The Google Play music player is currently only available in the United States."
The app itself on my phone works okay, but all my files are locally on my phone. I don't mind it being slow, I can upload on a work connection so it's faster thana standard connection.
Once you've actually signed up (using a proxy if outside the US), then it shouldn't care. You should be able to be logged into your google account, and go to http://music.google.com and be logged in to your account. Then you can get music manager and upload your tracks.

I had exactly the same problem, and I tried many proxy servers. The way I finally managed it was to use a VPN like the one here http://www.vpnsurfing.com/2011/11/free-vpn-provided-by-hotfreevpn-com-us-uk-and-canada-ip/ now I don't know how safe it is so probably best to change your google password after your finished as a precaution.

Just tried this at work, I have a feeling that something is blocking it, i'm going through a proxy within a proxy aswell(just so people can't go sniffing into what i'm trying to do).
I'll try this weekend.
Also, I changed my password to something random before trying this, now when I go to change my password on my email, it won't let me use my old password, any fix to get around this?
It should work... I did the same as you, so signed up via a proxy and downloaded the music manager program and then got the app via market enabler...
After the initial sign in I've never used a proxy again as it doesn't check your ip again...
Are you able to click on upload music as that should then take you to the download page for the music manager program...
I'm in the UK and have Google Music access.
Just used a US proxy...
richfreestone, my guess as to why it didn't work was because there is a terms and conditions window that appears that you must agree to before you can use Google Music, sorry Google Play! Most likely the proxy you was using didn't handle javascript.
I recommend you just use tor, configure for US proxies then sign into Google Play, the terms and conditions will appear, agree to them and you're done, download the client and upload music.

I've managed to get to the sign up page using Tors, but the Terms Of Service pop-up wont go away after I click on Agree. :-( :-(

Then just kept switching identity and checking the IP till I got one in the US.
