GTalk and More - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi - I have a brand new, stock GS3 on AT&T -
I have a problem where my GTalk seems to log out, after some inactivity. Also other apps like eBay fail to get notifications until I re-open them.
Anybody else seeing this?

why wont MMS pics download?!!!

Some come tru others dont unless people add text to pic
Some of my MMSs won't download either. I never thought of it being related to whether or not there's text with them before but will keep an eye out.
I thought it might be limited to MMSs from particular contacts so keeping an eye on that and will tidy up my contacts details if needed.
The two I successfully received from my wife had text in them. The one I got from my buddy had no text, and I couldn't download the pic in that one. I then sent one to my wife with no text, but she said she got it, so I don't know what the situation is. My buddy's which didn't come through was sent from TMo > VZN, whereas my wife and I each have the GNex so perhaps it's a content + carrier combination.
Early adopters = late beta testers
I love the phone but wanna smash it sometimes

Try turning on your lte radio, see if maybe its a network issue?
"unfortunately, the process com.handcent.nextsms has stopped"
definately a weird issue
Aye I've received 2 MMSs from people on AT&T. One worked (it was a video), the other didn't (picture). I had to hold-click on the message and say "Download Attachment", then browse to the file using Astro to see it.
Haven't tried sending any yet...
Anyone come up with a fix? or do we have to wait for google?

[Q] Push Gmail Delay and Random Reboots. Help?

Hi everyone,
I have a new issue for you guys and maybe you can help me. I cannot find any information on my push delay issue. I am wondering if it might be related to random reboots and whether I should return my device for another. Anyway I have a very large delay with gmail push notifications. My galaxy s3 instantly gets emails when they arrive, but my nexus 7 can take anywhere between 10mins to 30mins to get that same email. Same with marking it as read if I have seen it on my phone. It happens whether it is sleeping or screen on and wifi connected the whole time. I can be browsing the web and my push email will not come. Is anyone experiencing this issue with theirs? As I am typing this my nexus has still not seen an email that came in 15 minutes ago to my nexus - Last gmail sync was 20 minutes ago with screen on and off periodically.
I am updated to JSS15Q and am not ready to root the device yet. My SGS3 is on PA 3.99 and works flawlessly with push. On another note, I am getting random reboots during sleep or use - just like many other people as well who have returned their devices to get one that doesn't do it. It is very annoying - considering returning the device soon, but I've already installed a bunch of things on it.
Thanks for the help!
Edit, it has now been over 12 hours and Gmail has not synchronized. It shows yesterday afternoon as last time of sync, while the account itself shows synced in the morning. The only things that synced in the morning are calendar and app data. 12 hours later I have like 15 new emails on my phone and Asus transformer, but nothing on the nexus. All sync is on in Gmail and settings. Wifi was on the entire night and I was downloading something too overnight, which finished. I kept the screen on all night so the tablet couldn't sleep. No emails. Any ideas?
Regarding Gmail: did you try removing the account and setting it up again?
Regarding the reboot: I haven't find solution yet:

Thanks for the reply. It seems I have somehow sorted out the issues. For fixing gmail, I did a factory reset and just put everything back on as well as all of my gmail accounts. Seems to be working with push ever since! However, I still had random reboots. I seemed to notice that they happened mostly when I was using chrome beta, so I froze chrome beta and started using chrome. No reboots for 209 hours and 40 minutes now! Going strong although I shall *knock on wood*. So if anyone else has either of these issues I recommend trying to remove chrome beta as it fixed reboots for me and possibly also doing a factory reset - even battery life improved after that with same apps reinstalled.

[Q] no Hangouts notifications and trouble opening attachments

Hi all,
I have a brand new Huawei Ascend P6 with the latest update and I have two isssues with it.
More importantly, I don't receive notifications from Hangouts. This is despite the fact that the respective box for notifications is checked just like it should be, and all relevant settings are also enabled. All other notifications such as Gmail, SMS, etc. are working just fine, it's just the Hangouts that I'm having problems with. Perhaps reverting to Gtalk would help, but I have no idea if that's possible at all.
Second, sometimes it takes five or even more attempts to open Gmail attachments (simple jpgs). Any ideas as to how to resolve the issues, the first one in particular?
Thank you
Tomas

Anyone gotten Google Messenger MMS to work?

I have be searching for a solution since November for the Note 4...
Google Messenger is nice, simple and I like the Material design. However, it has an issue on our phone with MMS and attachments on Wifi...
If someone sends me a pic as part of a group MMS text, it doesn't download and it will sit there for 5 minutes or so, and the app cannot send or receive anything while it is sitting there lagging... So if someone else sends me a normal text, I won't get it until the app finishes whatever it thinks it is doing.
I have searched and searched and it seems the problem is pretty well known and documented, but I don't see a single fix for it... Some report that changing or editing the APN settings fixes it, but VZW locks that down, so we cannot use that.
The phone has gotten 2 OTA's since then, still doesn't work... Google Messenger has been updated a few times, still no fix... Going on 4 months now, surely someone must have noticed this and addressed it?
I see people all over the web having similar issues, with other phones even...
Something is borked with Google Messenger but I cannot for the life of me figure out what... Driving me nuts!

There are a lot of reported issues with this. A lot of reported fixes too. If you search the S8 forums you can find some info. However, I have never been able to get the issue fixed long term. I have been able to get it to work for a while by reinstalling gmail, wiping data, etc, but this gets to be a pain. I am using Aquamail. I tried Bluemail and it was fine, but I like Aqua better. There are probably other good ones. I always get notifications now. Not the best answer, but it works.
Edit - I also tried all of the battery tricks like having a bunch of google apps not optimized and that didn't help.
