Has anyone else had trouble accessing Google Talk over 3G? If I don't use WiFi, it constantly tells me "unable to access server." If I do turn on WiFi, and then shut it off, GTalk shows everything grayed out. If I don't sign in to GTalk, I can't use the market. What's going on here? I was able to use GTalk on 3G *once* today. Not anymore.
My googletalk hasn't been able to sign in for the past 2 days.
It will randomly not be able to connect but then later connect for a few minutes and sign out.
I'm connected to wifi and its working now however.

Just had this problem on my girlfriend's Epic. It has to do with the Market, they're linked to your account and you can't have on without the other (from experience). I tried rebooting, clearing market and gtalk cache and the new update that came out a few days ago but nothing seemed to work. I finally did a factory reset and everything worked like it should.

It's just plain stupid that this is necessary. Android is starting to really grate on my nerves lately.
Hmmm, my GTalk works when on wifi or 3G. Now when I change connections from one to the other it takes some time to reconnect sometimes. That I do notice.
Forgive My Brevity. To Be Or Not To Be...
I had to hard-reset the damn thing. Adding Google accounts was giving me the stupid "Could not establish a reliable connection to the server" bullcrap. Of course, everything works *wonderfully* now (minus GPS, of course), and the phone is nice and fast again. What is this, Windows Mobile?!
Edit: GAH! It's happening again! "Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly" when on 3G! WTF, Google. I just wasted 2 hours reinstalling apps after a hard reset just to get this crap all over again.
So is this for sure a problem on googles side?? Cuz only few people seem to confirm this issue. I'm still within my 30 days, so I can exchange my phone if its a specific phone related problem..
I don't know. Some rocket surgeon over at Google decided that it was best to allow multiple Google accounts on the phone and sync everything, but not let you change Gtalk accounts. Their response to the bug? They try to throw the Gtalk team under the bus and close the bug report.
Okay, and now it's working again. I moved around to another Sprint tower and everything worked again. This actually happened yesterday. Now I'm back to my original location where the bug showed itself the first time, and things still seem to be working. I'm going to avoid reboots for now...
I am having the same problem

I am also having the same problem with my Galaxy S2. Has anyone resolve this without resetting it to factory setting?

I've been having problems signing in to Google Talk for a while now. It says "Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly" and never connects. It used to work, but for the past couple of weeks I've been having nothing but issues. I have tried reflashing my ROM, and have tried other ROMs and still have the issue.
My market is also pretty much broken, I can't download anything. It just gets hung up on starting download. I know these two problems are related so I'm hoping that if I get to the bottom of my GTalk issue then my market will work again.
Does anybody have any idea what I can do to get this working again?
In case it matters, I am running Fresh 3.2.0.0.
I had this too. I've been turning 3g off (and getting insane battery life, btw), but my google talk takes forever to reconnect. Market is also hanging at downloading.
After leaving my data on for awhile, everything is ok.
I'm also on Fresh 3.2.
Yeah I left my data on all day today and it's still not working :/
I saw these symptoms when my WiFi was enabled. It turned out that GTalk couldn't connect to its servers through my firewall. In my case, it was because the necessary outbound TCP and UDP ports where closed. I found that GTalk needs several outbound ports open to work properly.
In your firewall configuration you may need to:
* Enable UDP connections to anywhere on any port.
* Enable TCP connections to anywhere on port 5222.
* Enable TCP connections to anywhere on port 443.
After I made these changes, I was able to successfully sign into GTalk and download from the market.

I just got a new EVO and am running the commercial rom for a week or so just to see how fast it is out of the box for a while.
Anyways, I have been having a ton of issues with Gtalk doing the same thing, it never signs in via wifi and even then when I disable wifi and just use 3g it hangs and gives the message you mentioned. Sometimes it logs in, it causes problems with market and chrome to phone (c2p) too. Power cycling the 3g radio is not helping.
I got to the root of my problem a few weeks ago. What I found was that if I sign out and then back in to Talk on my PC, it starts working right away on my phone and then the market comes back up. It's a workaround but it does work for me EVERY time.
Same problems here.. I constantly have connection issues. Both through WiFi and 3g
I'm having problems with this too. Any permanent solutions?
I believe its on Google's part.
it is 3g network problem, try with wifi or after airplane mod and has to sign in

I can't be the only one with terrible Chrome to Phone reliability performance on my Evo. I thought this was a cool concept when it came out but since day one it has never worked reliably.
Most often when I send something from Chrome (on Win 7 laptop with Chrome 7.0.517.44) I get the message "Sent to phone." but nothing. ever. shows. up. on the phone.
After logging in an out of the chrome to phone app on the phone several times it will sometimes work for a while but the next time I go to use it it's the same deal.
This happens whether im on 3G or 4G networks. I'm running stock ROM, rooted, 3.30.651.3 with HTC #17 kernel.
In the interest of figuring this out I just wiped cache/user data and reinstalled 3.30 RUU. (still rooted) I also uninstalled the chrome plugin, reinstalled and restarted.
After logging in on both ends this app still doesn't work. I remember it working one time when I first got my Evo but it's been months and I don't know if this app has just gone by the wayside now or if it's not officially supported on the Evo or what the deal is? I asked another fellow Evo owner to try this app and he confirmed it did not work for him either. He is in a non-4G area I don't know if that could affect things?
I would think a fresh installed install of both the android app and the browser plugin would fix this but perhaps it's something on Google's end? Has anyone gotten this app to work in the past few weeks?
Any help is appreciated
I used it the other day without problem. Strange

It works fine for me. I would suspect a problem with your network. Make sure your firewall isn't blocking the program. Also switch to manual instead of automatic link execution. Maybe your phone gets the link but then craps out when it tries to run it.

I think you're onto something with the network comment. I'm using a cheap $20 netgear router that sometimes does other internet weirdness.
I just tried it on a commercial wifi access point and it worked fine. So I guess it's not my phone or my laptop.
This issue happens to me sometimes. The thing I noticed is when the problem does happen GTalk also stops workings. In order to fix this I have stop and start my internet connection. This bug has been documented. Its bug number 67 on the Chrome to Phone Google project page.
. I'd like some help to try and find a solution to this problem. It seems all instant messenger apps have very delayed messages most of the time.
Gtalk & Google+ messenger- are extremely unreliable for me. Up until about 3 months ago they worked flawless, I'd get notified of a message as soon as it was sent, be it on 4G or Wi-Fi. Now, 90% of the time I'll only get the message if I go into the app. And yes all settings and notification settings are turned on to sync. Sending is never an issue. And if I stay in the application messages are pretty reliable although not 100% reliable. I will get instances where it won't receive messages even when I'm in the app. My cell reception and router is always near perfect reception.
Whatsapp messenger more reliable in that messages will come through within a half hour if they aren't coming through. Although if I'm in the app its quite flawless. This app is much more unreliable when on Wi-Fi. With 4G its actually reliable. What I do notice though when going into the app with Wi-Fi and its not syncing up is that the up arrow on Wi-Fi will be flashing but no down arrow. Once the down arrow begins turning on everything works.
To note is that I have tried switching to a stock rom to no help, same things happen. Tried uninstalling all these apps, and done a clean install, still no help. I have other phones in the house, a galaxy S, and these apps all work the way they should on both 4G and Wi-Fi. So I know it should and can work. All my emails from Gmail come through just fine as do my Google+ notifications from people replying on posts. So any help will be greatly appreciated as I want to get to the bottom of this. Currently running on CM9 stock kernel, with uglc1 modem and newest boot loader.
Anyone? I can't be the only one with this issue...
I am having this problem on the stock radio, UGLC1, and XXKK6 too
I think its something updated within the Google Talk apps?
I started having the same issue after the OTA 4.0.4 came out.
Has anyone resolved this?
from what i have seen, its the google push service (used from gtalk, gmail, whatsapp, and every push app) that sometimes do some sleep..had this on my previous device also sometimes
when people say "before was working" "now is not working well anymore" it depends from how much attention u give to it...
the push service require a constant connection to the google services, sometime this connection hang or stops, usually after 10 minutes i can see this connection is restored and chat messages, mails, etc, come all together (or if u dont want to wait, disable and enable the conenction again, or disable/enable synch)

I've had this problem for almost a year now.. Ever since I went from iOS to Andriod.. On my HTC.. What I noticed is when my phone goes into sleep it's all over, I guess it falls into a deep sleep.. When I awake it all message from all messengers comes flooding through. I thought maybe it was a software problem and all problems would disappear after upgrading to android 4.0 from 2.3.. But still the same.. Same as you everything works fine when the phone is alive, wifi or 3G.. So I was thinking its HTC and about to upgrade to Samsung S111 so touch wood that works ok..

My nexus 4, does the same thing.. ANNOYING!
I flashed a new rom and for the past two days I've been trying to sync Samsung cloud data. Specifically S Health data. No matter what I do, when trying to sync, it says network error or sync temporarily unavailable.
I've had this issue before and was able to fix it by erasing and resetting s health data. It didn't work this time.
Is anyone else having the same problem?
I was having that before rooting, turns out that the sync will time out if the data is slow. Went on my wifi and it sync'd fine. On LTE it would time out.

That's a good point, but I've tried on 4g and wifi with same result.
Hey everyone,
I've been looking all over the internet for a solution to my problem, and nothing have worked yet. I've tried clearing the cache (and often data as well) for phone, internet and chrome. My setting does not keep activities. I have not tried factory reset, because I cannot backup all my phone's data as of now.
The problem with my phone is that I cannot connect to the internet at all. Because I'm out of the country right now, and will be for a while, I cannot use mobile data (because of my phone plan). I've been relying a lot on internet for communication with others, and though I can do it fine with my laptop, it's not exactly easy for me to carry it around everywhere.
What happened was this afternoon, I suddenly received the pop up "Unfortunately, Internet has stopped" when I tried to log in to my uni's wifi network. I used chrome after that and things were fine.
But then, the message kept on popping up and suddenly the phone kept on restarting itself. This happens constantly! After the phone is fully loaded, it restarts again!! When I switched off the wifi, the phone worked well. But I noticed that facebook and whatsapp were uninstalled (not by me). Maybe the problem lies with the wifi connection thing, cause whenever I switched it on, the phone restarts on its own. But if the wifi is on without being connected to any networks, the phone is fine.
After a while, I also started to get the pop up "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped".
Since I'm living in campus right now, the only wifi network available for me to connect to is the university's. So I don't know if this is just a problem with the univ. or just wifi networks in general.
I have this phone for about two years already. It is not rooted. I've dropped it several times but it still works fine. I have not installed any new applications recently. All I did today was scroll through tumblr. Uninstalled that app too just in case, but problem remained.
If any of you know what's up or what to do, that'd be a great help!
Thank you
