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.
Hi,
I'm using the CyanogenMod 7 for Motorola Defy, everything worked good until last week or so. Suddenly all my Google Apps (Market, Mail, Maps...) don't receive or send any data via 3G. I can browse the web and user other internet related apps, but not the Google Apps. They just work via WiFi.
Does anybody know a solution for that?
Thanks,
JJ
I had this before . It was due to my under voltage settings and/or due to wrong ggaps version installed.
Hi all,
Posting this here because it's the device in question and no one answered over at general Android Q&A and Reddit hasn't been able to help.
Long time since I posted here but I'm at the limit of what I can effectively do so I'm looking for some help here and I believe this is a problem with the OS itself and how it handles shared settings and even with the Maps application, rather than being device specific.
First, specs:
Samsung Galaxy Nexus (UK HSDPA+) running Jelly Bean 4.1.1, completely stock and unrooted.
Asus Nexus 7 (also UK, though I'm not sure this makes a difference as the N7 has no GSM radio), Jelly Bean 4.1.1, completely stock and unrooted.
All apps are the latest versions.
Background: This problem has only existed as long as I have had the Nexus 7 in addition to the Galaxy Nexus. I'm 90% sure that the issue relates to the fact that I have location reporting enabled on the GNex and NOT on the Nexus 7. I'm signed into both devices with the same Google account. Occasionally one or the other will pick up the opposite one's settings with regards to location sharing, a PITA.
The problem: Ridiculous amounts of wakelocks caused by the Play Store, Maps and the Launcher. As you can see here (BetterBatteryStats pic included). imgur . com/ a/yz83J (I can't post the hyperlink because I've not posted 10 times yet.) This only seems to cause a problem on the Galaxy Nexus. I haven't noticed wakelocks or battery drain on the Nexus 7.
This absolutely drains my battery. If I kill off Play Store and Maps and clear all cache data then the wakelocks stop for a while.
Two days ago I was forced to uninstall all updates to Maps and return it to the default version and update it again as killing the process or even rebooting the phone failed to stop the wakelocks. This didn't stop the wakelocks but out of curiosity I just told the device to completely stop updating my location on it's own. This has completely stopped the wakelocks and the resulting power drain..
The catch: I'd really rather not have to leave location updating off to resolve this. It's only been happening since I got the Nexus 7 and I'm trying to get that to NOT report my location and the GNex to report. The reason I have it turned off is that I have it on train WiFi a lot, which displays my location as wherever the connection terminates. E.g. for an entire journey from London to the north, my history for that day shows that I travelled the distance between every point on the route that my phone reported and London Euston station where the Nexus 7 was connected, in about 1 second. This led to my location history being an utter mess!
The question: Any ideas on getting this working as intended? If I can provide any more data let me know. I've already run an ADB output of my alarm manager stats and it's showing the same as the BetterBatteryStats info.
The apps will constantly try to refresh maybe because it's trying to receive data like notifications.
You can try JuiceDefender or Greenpower or apps like that in order to limit how often a certain app syncs. Some ROMs also have such a feature if i'm not wrong.
If all else fails try a factory reset and see if the problem is fixed. Did you do a full wipe before changing to jb from ics? Maybe that could cause problems.

Thanks for the reply.
No I did not do a full wipe because the update to JB was delivered OTA when Google released them, these devices are completely stock. I believe the issue is that the GNex is attempting to update the location, the Google account is reading the Nexus 7 setting of not updating the location, then the response is bouncing back to the GNex, which insists it does need to update the location, etc.
As I said, I've temporarily solved this by stopping the phone updating it's location at all, however this isn't the best solution and since I've found the cause, I'm not convinced a factory reset or even reflashing the stock ROM will help. I'm pretty sure this is a deep OS issue, using the same Google account across 2 devices is great, until you want them to have different settings.
I'm probably gonna report it on code.google.com, but I very much doubt I'll get a response.
Hi,
I noticed the other day when I was on street, trying to use Google map, turned on GPS and mobile data.
It just couldn't find where I was on the map. It could locate where I wanted to go, but not where I was at.
It was really annoying, I had to use Google map, without navigation..
Then I turned on WIFI at home and opened Google map, then immediately it showed where I am.
Only when I use google map with mobile data, it can't locate me.
I've tried so far, reinstall of Google map, deleting cache from app->google map,
Made sure background service of Google map is not blocked in Mobile data.
Still no good.
Anybody know how to fix this?
I'm using CM11 last nightly version.
Sounds like the GPS isnt working at all, and it's simply using your wifi to find location. had this issue on other phones with CM
and..
what did u do about it? solved?
On my HTC Wildfire, was never able to find a fix. Sony Xperia Go I changed the Rom. Samsung S4 Mini, haven't had this issue yet, I'm using a stable Rom though
Anybody else having problem with GPS on CM11 last nightly?
If there is anybody else, how did you fix it or what's the workaround?
