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 guys, I am having a weird problem, and not specifically with the ILWT rom but I noticed this issue with pretty much all roms I used.
The issue is, that when I receieve calls from a landline (all landline numbers) I get my voice echo, although the same is never the case with mobile numbers calling me.
I have tried 3 radio versions and I noticed the issue with all of them, tried the RIL lib as well. No luck.
Has anyone had a similar issue or can anyone identify what the problem could be?
Thanks!

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!

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? =)
First of all I searched and didn't see anything on this, sorry if I missed it.
I am having a issue with my S3, it seems it randomly stops receiving calls and sms. The phone is only a week old and it has happened twice already.
A simple restart seems to fix this issue however I would prefer to have a device that I don't need to worry about restating daily to ensure I am getting my calls.
AT&T
4.1.1
Non Rooted - UCDLK3
Any help would be great & thanks in advance.
you didn't search properly, as there is a thread about this already. it is a known issue on AT&T's end, so everyone experiencing this problem needs to wait for them to fix it.
It is a problem with LTE service, using only 3G is the only current fix to this.

Hey guys,
I think I've reached the point where it's time to call in the cavalry and see if anyone around here is having the same issue; there appears to be a plague going around on the Verizon network, specifically in the Pennsylvania area, preventing people from sending SMS, but still receiving fine (and 4G works fine too, for the record). MMS still sends / receives fine, but I'm unable to send SMS. There are tricks to allowing a single SMS message to go through which involves toggling Airplane mode on / off every. Single. Time. People have also had success with turning 4G off completely, using the CDMA band after a reboot at which point they can send *several*, but still end up with the same issue.
The only solution I've read about that FIXED it is by reverting back to complete stock from VZW. Performing factory resets, using other ROMs, etc etc...doesn't work. I'd REALLY rather not do this and, frankly, would rather use 3G / toggle Airplane mode for texts than use Sense and get off of my ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560831).
People from other device forums on XDA are having the same problem; the ones I've seen that are active discussions are the Samsung Galaxy S III & IV. They're mostly CM ROMs *as well as* AOSP ROMs in general.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2532414
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658572
SIM card replacements are a no-go, and the recorded instances seem to be in the 717 / 570 area codes, mostly. Now I DO know that VZW released an OTA update for the One recently, and I'm relatively confident that would fix the issue, but I've no idea why. I'm thinking perhaps they dispatched new radios? I looked around a bit and couldn't find any flashable zips of radios extracted from the latest OTA, that's the next step I'll be trying once that download finishes.
So is anyone else having this issue? Any word on fixes?
The newest firmware from the latest OTA can be found in the 2nd post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2485319
If you've already flashed the latest firmware then I'm not sure what to tell you... maybe ask your favorite rom developer to take a look at the latest OTA in regards to this issue?
If it has the stock rom and OTA update why not take it to the store and let them look at it. Something might be wrong with your account.

Those area codes for all phones on aosp roms are not working right now. Since 2/20/14. Has nothing to do with HTC or their firmware. I'ts a bizarre Verizon 4G issue. I am in the 717 area code with a Note 2 with the issue. I have seen others with S4 and S3. Verizon is aware of the issue and is working with another XDA member to fix it. To date it's not resolved.

Thanks DreamFX; I've been following this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658572&page=6) lately as they seem to be the most on top of it. I can't believe Verizon has let this issue go on for so long, but given that it seems to only be relevant to those of us with AOSP ROM's, I guess it makes sense. At least I'm still able to send texts, if not only through a silly process of toggling airplane mode on / off. Hopefully it gets resolved soon...

Whoa, that's weird. I really thought it was isolated to the 717 area code. It's getting pretty crazy...I've been dealing with this for a few weeks now and my patience is running thin. Unfortunately it's not like we can just report this to VZW because all anyone would tell us to do is "restore to factory", which simply isn't a solution.

Yup, I thought so too. Just cropped up between 10a and 11a PDT. Like you said MMS is fine, simply affects SMS. And yes, restoring stock is simply not an option. Going to TMobile, however, is totally an option that I'm considering more and more often......
EDIT: AND SMS began sending properly (without workaround) for me around 8p PDT last night, just tested and still ok. RESOLVED!
EDIT EDIT: Issue now persists....sadface =[

IM getting it now. but not exactly the same. phone freezes without warning and I have to toggle airplane mode and restart to get it to unfreeze. this happened after the last OTA update. I am going to a custom ROM until I don't read anything about this for a while
