I posted this in NilsP's Business GingerSense thread, but don't think it's a ROM issue, more of a Google Talk issue. Running the 2.0 version of that ROM.
The issue is where Google Talk shows all your contacts as Offline after a period of say five to ten minutes, maybe shorter than that. I'll be messaging someone, and after a few minutes when they haven't responded, I'll wake my phone and open GT. All the contacts are Offline. A simple sign out/sign in fixes that, and the usual contacts show Online or Away.I've noticed this all week, so I'm thinking it's a GT issue, but I've never had it happen before.
Don't want to have to sign out/in every time I want to use it. Cleared GT cache, fix permissions, multiple wipes of data/system/cache/boot/dalvik/user data before each ROM install, and haven't had this before now.
Thoughts?
EDIT: After playing, it happens when switching from 3G to WiFi and vice versa, so maybe it is a ROM thing...?
i'm having the same issue. noticed after my gingerbread OTA update from verizon.
Droid 2.
It seems to happen a few minutes after logging on.
I also have that issue with Gtalk. After some time all contacts appear to be offline, but only when I'm on data connection and not on wifi.
There is still no solution for this?
Cheers!

Me too. Anyone was able to do something?
Well I've since moved on, and haven't noticed it on other ROMs. Right now I just tested toggling Wifi on and off, and the contacts would appear offline, then come online once 3g or wifi connected.
I'm thinking in my case, it was that version of the ROM I was running at the time.

Just a thought, check any task killers / managers and make sure talk is unchecked. I had the same problem a long time ago and ATK was the culprit. Haven't had the issue since and I have used almost every Rom possible at one point or another

True. Right after I rooted over a year ago, I had an issue with the alarm clock not going off intermittantly, and coincidentally I was using ATK at the time. After reading that ATK could be the issue, uninstalling it fixed the issue. Since then, I don't actively kill tasks, but I do have System Panel installed just in case.
I'm running Stock+ v2.6, and since moving on from v2.0 of NilsP's ROM where I had the initial issue, I haven't noticed/had the problem.

Hi,
Me and the other user are I9000 users. No task killers. We're trying to figure out if its a stock / custom ROM issue (since we're both using the same ROM), or some app forcing GTalk to sign out, or even a network problem (we both use the same mobile operator).
Thank you both for your input.
If you're on a stock ROM (you're both rooted right?), back up your ROM and flash another just to see if it happens in something different.

Yes, we are.
The thing is that it seems to me that it happened only after XXVJR (meaning it happened to me in XXJVS and XXJVT, and now we're already at XWJVU, all these being Samsungs "leaks"), and I have a friend with XXJVS that works just fine.
I even tried flashing a stock ROM, to see if it happens again. Testing that one now.
Thanks for your advice.
Same problem here.
Although I have not tried it with stock non rooted phone...
I'm having the same problem on a stock rooted Motorola Photon. Very annoying to have to sign out and back in to see who's online. Hopefully someone comes to the rescue with a solution.
Hi,
The only thing I could find is that the problem is, indeed, NOT in the custom ROM's. It's google's problem.
The only way I could get by was with an alternative IM. And, for me, the better is Trillian (taking battery, performance, etc. in consideration.)
I updated my software which included an updated gtalk with video..so far so good.

Mine got better with one of those. But it ended up all the same.

I am having this issue too. I have had it since the beginning, when I had the preinstalled stock rom, I had it with all the other stock roms I flashed, I had it with all the versions of Talk I tried (those which supported video calls), I had it with all the other customs roms I tried (Simplicity, CyanogenMod, MIUI). I never used any task killer. For these reasons I am strongly convinced this is a Google Talk related bug.
Some more details about the problem:
after a few minutes after having logged in, contacts are shown offline on Android while they appear online on the desktop client;
despite their offline status I still receive messages from them and as soon as I answer only that contact appears online while the others keep being shown offline;
signing out and back in fixes the problem temporarily, but it happens again after a few minutes.
What surprises me is how come very few people seem noticing it or being annoyed by it? How come a huge bug like this has been out for so long and Google hasn't fixed it yet? All the posts I have seen reporting this problem on Google Talk Help Forum have been ignored.
Exact same problem with my I9100, Gtalk with video. Very annoying.
I have the SGS i777 (Samsung Galaxy S2 on AT&T), and just recently (since late February) started experiencing the same issue. When on WiFi, it doesn't appear to be an issue, only when not on WiFi, particularly if I have just recently turned off WiFi.
Other "friends" show me as "Away", so I am connected.
This is bone stock 2.3.6 Samsung official ROM (never rooted UCKK6).
I tried crawling a bit through the logs (aLogCat output), filtering for "[Tt]alk", but I can't make enough heads or tails about where the failure might be (not being an actual developer), other than lots of messages get created. I'll see if I can't figure something more useful out about it.
A hard reset with no apps installed has the same problem. Though I've noticed that the problem appears to get "worse" as the phone "ages" - namely, hard reset fixes the problem, but it slowly (over days) gets worse and worse.
Update: I have not noticed this issue at all since getting the official Samsung/AT&T ICS build (IML74K.CLE5).
Google Talk failing for toooo loooong
Hi there,
I'm a cyanogen 7.1 (stable) android user, and I just want to join myself to every other person who's affected by this issue.
I'll leave here some links to other places discussion exactly the same issue:
code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?can=2&start=0&num=100&q=gtalk%20offline&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars&groupby=&sort=&id=24242
You may check this thread: groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/#!topic/chat/6m0YqHoiIDg
Until now, I wasn't also able to find any clue to what the cause may be.
Starting to suspect that's something on Google's side, not android/rom itself.
Maybe something to do with our google accounts' settings?
Are there any news about this issue? I'm having the same problem.
Guys i have a very strange problem and i was wondering if anyone experienced the same. I don't receive automatic emails from gmail (pushmail) when i'm on 3G unless i manually refresh from inside the application itself (Gmail v4.0.5)
If i connect to WiFi, then pushmail is working perfectly.
I'm on 1.28 since yesterday and unfortunately i have no idea if it was working before on 1.26, because as soon as i bought my one x i got the OTA update and installed it.
Anyone experienced this? Any ideas?
I found that to get everything working smoothly post 1.28 upgrade I needed to disable fastboot and reboot. After that lots of odd problems (like Widgets not refreshing) went away - it's worth a shot.
That's the first thing i tried actually...Unfortunately it didn't help
So I updated through kies to uvlh1, and the phone seemed smooth and responsive at first. But after updating all the apps through google play and now whenever I add/click the accu weather, or other widgets, TwLauncher crashes and the screen goes black for at least 1 minute before becoming useable again. I tried reflashing through odin but it made no difference. Only a factory reset (data clear) remedies the problem. Can anyonr confirm/ help? (besides installing a different launcher)
Edit: the problem seems to be the my account app. After updating it, the phone became unresponsive for a few seconds, and the problem resurfaced.
next time check how much free memory it has left
if it works fine, until you download apps from Android Market
then that means one of the Apps from Market, is most likely the cause of the problem
so, instead of letting it automatically install all the Apps you had in the Market
do it manually, and choose specific apps that you use to install
do it one at a time, and see how the phone responds, rinse and repeat until you find the faulty App
This is the very same reason why i came back to CM9 from CM10, found several Apps that were not behaving properly on JB, but works without any problem on ICS
many Apps has since been updated to be JB compatible, so keep an eye on your favourite apps, or those must have installed apps to make sure they are compatible with JB

The memory is fine, but after reinstalling every app except the my account one, the error seems to have vanished. However, id like to know if anyone has the same problem. Because otherwise, my phone is crazy and i need to call tmobile for an exchange.
So don't update my account
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I have noticed that the new Facebook app have some bugs that makes the phone to crash. I get a white screen and then later it says fb stop responding. but then again I have noticed some lag on the this update and on the one before.
I think they have a new app that is kinda like my account but it uses the browser use that instead. the only thing you cant do right now is pay your bill but they will be adding that feature soon.

New user, first post, if I am missing info then I apologize.
I have the tmobile galaxy s 3 SGH-t999.
Started looking around at different roms, etc, ended up with trying the cyanogenmod 10 first.
Did the required steps, used oden to load the clockworkmod recovery.
Wiped/factory reset, then loaded up the rom. Seemed to work pretty well other than some issues with the cam crashing (seperate issue which I researched and believe I have the answer to). But overall the problem was that intermittently the inbound audio on calls sounded robotic, and reverberating. Also dealt with 4 hour battery life. Tons of info to address later when this issue is corrected however.
Have been digging around on forums, and see this issue, but no articles yet (that i have found) addressed for the SGH-t999.
Ended up re-wiping the phone and put on the liquid smooth rc9 (d2tmo).
So far it appears i am having basically the same exact issues that occurred in cyanogenmod. If I reboot the phone, it will continue. Then for whatever reason the next few calls or so later that are sent or received it sounds fine. Then back to robotic.
End user can hear me fine. The audio issue is just for inbound voice.
Tried to factory reset again, still the same issue.
I have installed the google pack to be able to use play store, etc. Perhaps this is causing the issue?
I did try to get the log cat, but could not replicate the issue while running it, so I am not sure if it would be of any use or not.
Also, this issue does not make a difference whether bluetooth is enabled or not. Am not doing wifi calling, have not tested that yet.
Again very sorry if this article is incomplete.
Thanks in advance for the help!
Resolved

Ok, after 4 different roms, and lots of testing, I finally figure it out.
Using Voxer caused the issue. As soon as a voice message is sent using voxer, the problem starts immediately, and is correct by a reboot. Issue immediately returns once Voxer is used.
Any idea of how to work around this, besides the obvious? =)
Hi,
I'm in possesion of a brand new Galaxy S4mini since about 3 weeks. The 2 first weeks everythin worked fine but then i observed that my phone is losing signal. I figured out that this happens when the phone try to switch to LTE signal. After that i have reset my phone to factory settings and configured the phone from the begining. I installed all the apps i always install and also had installed on my previous Galaxy S3 mini. LTE is working fine but i have another problem now.
I'm unable to remove any application. When i press on uninstall it is all the time "uninstalling" but nothing happens, the progres bar is just floating and floating. And cannot go back, the onlu option i have is go to HOME via the home button but the app is still installed. Throught Google Play i'm also unable to uninstall the app, same case, all the time the message "uninstalling". The applications have no Admin rights on the phone. I tried a factory reset many times and also wiped the phone. I also observed that my phone is rebooting sometimes by his own.
Edit: i am also unable to install any new app from the Play store. Same think like uninstalling. I click on Install and the progress bar is floating but nothing happens.
The phone is not rooted with stock Android 4.4.2
Have you any idea what can cause this issue and how to solve this? Could this be caused by an apllication installed on the device or could this be a software issue of Android?
If i have a valid warranty is this kind of issue clasifying for warrant?
Sorry for my english, i am from Poland.
Cheers
If you've tried wiping the phone and its still not uninstalling apps could be corrupt memory which is definitely covered by your warranty.
Some weird issues there. Also if it's rebooting by itself sounds like something is not right.
A 3 week old phone shouldn't do this. What Android version are you running?
Hi,
Thanks for your quick response. I have Android 4.4.2
Kernel 3.4.0-3173303
So yeah....i think i go on monday to an autorized Samsung service point and tell them whats happening and i hope this case will be clasified as warranty.
Maybe till then anyone else have other ideas what i can do i that case?
Thanks
All I can recommend is flashing the latest stock ROM for your device model and country code twice over using latest Odin. Maybe that will help. Else I think you've done everything you can. Your not using some weird app that could be messing with things?
Stand your ground with Samsung as every company I've had problems with has tried to blame me when clearly the device was faulty. But I always got what I wanted just stay strong and don't give up.
Best of luck.
Thx buddy, i have given the S4 mini a last chance. I switched back to my old S3 mini and wiped the S4mini on more time. I haven't installed any app so i will observe what happened. If nothing then i know that the issue is caused by an app. I will install my apps one by one, day by day and look whats happen.
Thank you, i will answer to this post hence i know whats going on.
Cheers
