Why have I NEVER been able to sign into google talk?

I see these tips about signing in and signing out to make sure it doesn't try...but when I go into Apps and tap on Talk.....all it has ever done is time out.
"Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly."
Never used it and never could sign it...I just want it to stop showing up as a running app.
I can use market, I can use gmail, I can log into google.....but Talk will not load.
Anyone else? Any thoughts?

Please give us details.
GTalk version:
ROM:
Kernel:
How are you trying to connect:
Can you connect from elsewhere (another Android device, desktop client, web, etc.):
Can you get online via Browser, Market, etc.:

make sure you are using the right email with google talk it can be scary sometimes. i have luck when i just ues my username but sometimes i have to include the full email.

Oh, also make sure if you're using a Google Apps account, you have the ability to use GTalk on your domain.

Facebook doesnt stay logged in?

Forgive me in advance, I am asking this question on behalf of my gf that has an Epic.
Every couple hours she gets a prompt to login to facebook which is becomming very annoying. I have an Evo and have never had this issue but I also use the official facebook app, it appears that the epic has its own facebook app which appears to be the one causing us troubles. Does anyone else have this issue with facebook or am I doing something wrong? It would seem there is a way to stay logged in because if you are constantly signing in it kinda defeats the purpose of widgets.

This isn't going to answer your question but I'm just letting you know I get the same issue. I just either leave it or clear the notification up. Wouldn't mind finding a solution to this as well. Good luck!

I was afraid of that, so its either deal with the constant logins to get everything synced properly in your contacts, messages, etc., or go with something like Pure Messanger Widget and stock facebook app?

yep same issue here, ive learned though it does it only when i check my facebook on the epic
if I leave it alone it doesnt log out

There is a similar post in the General forum, but I had the same issues.
When I experienced the same issues, I was still on the stock version of Facebook.apk. The SNS account kept prompting for me to log in again, with each sync interval.
I tried removing and adding the account again and rebooting in between, yet still the same problem. I finally had upgrade Facebook to the latest update that was the cause of all these login issues for older versions.
The upgrade fixed the problem, but I did find an issue when you use the built-in Facebook contact sync alone it may not carry profile pictures over to SMS. I had to manually add the account, this ended up putting two Facebook sync processes on my phone. The first is for Facebook to actually let you login to the app (just has sync contacts), and the second is the process that will sync both contacts and calendar events again. (the original sync we're used to)
Reference thread
EDIT: I just got the same SNS login prompt again.

I've never had any login problems on the facebook app, but I also don't use the feeds and updates widget.

This only seems to be happening to me more often recently. I swear it's asking me to log in to Facebook & Twitter every hour or so now. When I go to Accounts & Sync I see that there are two accounts (even though I only have one account for each). One Twitter & one Facebook account say there was an error with the syncing process.
I unchecked the sync processes that were having errors. I'll let you know if I keep being asked to log in.

I have this problem too. It says my sync is experiencing errors and its cause it logged me out of Facebook. Once I log back in its fine.

Also i don't have auto sync enabled. I manually refresh them.

I used to have this issue, but I figured out a simple workaround.
I use the FACEBOOK APP to sync and not the adding a Facebook account under the account section in settings. After I deleted the Facebook account there and made a sync with the Facebook App, the annoying prompt went away and hasn't come back since.

After doing this, I bet you don't have your friends profile pictures in the stock SMS application anymore. You also wouldn't have Facebook events in your stock Calendar application.

I have the same problem. Funny thing is my widget works fine gets updates and I can upload a picture from within the widget. If I take a picture, or select one from the gallery, then click Share facebook, it will not upload. started one day last week.

On stock rooted and don't get it hourly or even 2x/day that I can remember, just every morning...sometimes it doesn't make it the first time, usually it re-connects, good til the next morning....

I had the same problem. I had to delete the stock sync and use the FB app's sync option but like mentioned above you lose the profile pics on the stock sms so I downloaded "go sms" and the pictures are back...it beats having to log in every hour for sure.

Same issue here. Facebook app from market works fine but the integrated samsung facebook sync and widget have problems. Ridiculous, samsung needs to fix their software.

I would say it's a Facebook issue. It stopped working properly after the recent Facebook update. It affected all versions of the application, including the Epic's stock version of Facebook.

I do actually. But, no calendar sync.
Sent from the Epic that bites.

I can say that my gf and my brother both have the same issue, only reason i can think Samsung isn't attempting a quick fix is the rumored 2.2 update for the 21st of this month, which will probably have an updated app that fixes the problem. Although as important as facebook is to people I am surprised there is no maintenance release that fixes this,

Same issues here. I was thinking it might have had something to do with networking issues - I usually leave wifi and 4g on all the time. I noticed that I usually get the prompts when I leave home in the morning (go out of range of my house's wifi) and when 4g disconnects and reconnects in spotty 4g areas. I was wondering if maybe the session expires when you switch networks. Same thing would happen on my laptop when I would bring it from home to work or a coffee shop. FB might recognize that the connection is different. Meh, just a theory I thought I'd throw out there.

Can't Log out on Facebook for Android app?

Good day. Sorry for my ignorance since this is my first android phone. But can anyone assist me on how to log out of facebook for android? When i log in, there is no option to log out anymore which means that when i click on the facebook icon, it would direct me to facebook under my log in account. So if someone uses the phone, he would not be able to use it since its in my account already. Mine is 2.3.3 version. I could only remove my log-in when i go to settings and remove my account in facebook.

This xperia roms are working together with facebook account. You probably would have problems after using another account especially with phonebook. So better tell them to use your browser like opera to check their fb once.thats what i do

Perhaps you can prevent access to the fb app by means of some locking app? That way you wouldn't have to worry about others using your profile.

I just tried to log out, it is ok.
just tab on the fb logo, it will open up the fb with 9 icons with notification menu, the press the Menu (right) button, and you can log out.
I am also on 2.3.3

You must be kidding. Reboot doesn't logout from FB ot Twitter.
What does log out is to clear ALL the data in App prefs in settings.

Clear data
You can go to settings/apps/Facebook and choose "clear data." This will remove your log-in information from the Facebook app.

Problem with WLM in Mango.

Hey guys, I've updated my HTC Trophy to Mango and I've noticed a problem with WLM in Messaging.
In the Messaging under online, it only shows some contacts online, but not every online contact.
and when I go to some contact in the PeopleHub, it says text+chat, but it doesn't show it for everyone I speak to on WLM.
Anyone got a fix for this?
Thanks.

I have noticed this with my FB contacts. Some friends don't show up in the list available on my phone, but it does show them as available in FB chat on my computer.

I have this issue too.
And hope this is just a beta bug, but sometimes when I'm chatting with someone and I turn the screen off and after a while I turn on and go chat with the same person, it shows me that he is offline.
I need to go back to message hub, slide to "online" and wait to load again.

Its a privacy setting they have enabled to allow apps certain permissions. Fb has these and wlm has them each friend. Has to grant access to other apps to use chat and such

I've found that it's just the people I have added recently, all my older contacts seem to work fine.

Sync manualy once all of your accounts in Settings/email-accounts...

I download new content every 30 minutes and I keep syncing in manually in settings>email+accounts.
I'll be able to chat to people on WLM desktop, but not in Messaging on my phone, they don't appear online.

The problem might be the server that Windows Phone using is not the same as WLM, and some functionality of WLM have not finished yet in the current build of Mango (as it is for dev to testing app). We might have to wait until they release the final build or might be another working update. Right now, even those people from FB, Y!M or Gmail can see you online and they can send you message, but you probably cannot send back to them due to the limit of current build. However, I can confirm that WLM working perfectly. So if you guy has Live id, use it for messenger for now until we have the good build as we can message other services.

[FIX] Facebook w/ PUSH

This is simply what I have gathered from research and testing... but it works for me flawlessly.
All right, I started this journey off simply trying to find out how to get facebook messages without having to open the app every time. Then the messenger app came out and I used it for a while... and I ended up hating it. ANYWAYS this is how to get those lovely little messages every time and never miss a one.
I found out how to do the blackberry facebook push hack and that worked and then mysteriously it stopped working or I stopped noticing. Either way heres the solution
SOLUTION
1. Find a blackberry
2. Log into the "facebook for blackberry" app.
3. Allow access or w.e and then log out of the blackberry app
4. Log into facebook for android and enable notifications ( I have mine set to alert on everything except group invites... I hate those.. also I set it to facebook pop for the alert )
5. I turn off refresh so that push does all the work (battery saver... the only thing you need to do is manually refresh your news feed, which I'm 90% sure the new fb app does upon entry.)
6. *IMPORTANT* make sure no android tablet/phone is logged in under the same account. EDIT: Just found the culprit!! It is the facebook messaging app installed on my xoom.
7. Enjoy Facebook with working push.
-------------------------------------
THEORY: I think facebooks servers send out one "push" message per message and if you have another device (in my case a tablet) synced to the same facebook account (the one with blackberry push enabled) then it simply sends that one push to whatever device has the messaging app installed... HOWEVER if your tablet/other device doesn't have it installed then it goes right to your NORMAL facebook app... thus no need for that silly messaging app that always confuses me between that and the google+ one. rantover
