Google Talk issue - after a few minutes Contacts are all offline when not

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.

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.

[Q] Xperia Arc GPS Not Working!

Whenever I go to google maps or mapdroid, and tell it to locate me. It just says "Your current location is temporarily unavailable". I am running the latest software version. The GPS worked fine about 2 weeks ago, I haven't really used it since then. And whenever I tell it to locate me, I see the GPS symbol on the bar at the top (The satellite thing on the bar you can pull down) Any ideas? And also, if it helps, I got the phone about a month ago, from Rogers.
And, I can locate myself when using wifi networks. But when I am not connected by wifi, the GPS won't work.

Have you tried all the obvious things like make sure you have clear view of the sky, Use GPS Satellites ticked under Settings menu, reboot phone etc?
Sometime mine takes a while when on other days it takes only a few seconds

Yes, I have tried all those
And I have left apps such as GPS Test on for about half an hour, and the did not work either.
Any other ideas?

I experienced once or twice on my Arc not locking GPS signal at all. After two reboots all works again and GPS is fast.
However what I've learned from my experience is GPS sometimes has problems in some areas. And sometimes has a problem on Edge. Apparently many things can influence it's behaviour.
Try reboots.

By reboot, I assume you mean holding the power button, and shutting it off, and then turning it back on. I did that, and no help...
And also, I tried using the GPS in many locations, but it still does not work.
Although, I can get my location if I use wireless networks.

Yes by reboot I mean turning on and off the device.
So I don't know. So you say on WiFi you get your GPS working and on mobile connection not? Looks like a strange operator problem maybe. What about resetting mobile settings on phone?

I think what he was meant to type was ‘fresh rom’ – suffering from a case of fat finger syndrome I think!
Are you running the stock ROM or have you installed a different kernel/rom. If you running a non stock rom this could be the issue
I suggest you try this....
Access the service menu (open phone and dial *#*#7378423#*#*). This should bring up the service menu. Go into service tests and scroll down to GPS. From there you should be able to run some tests on your device to make sure its working properly.

I am not running a non stock rom. I am using the one which came with the device.
I did the location test, but it kept saying "Please Wait" for about 15 minutes, then I closed it.

hmmmm..... not to sure what else to suggest other than a fresh install. Have you upgraded the software on the phone since you got it via SE Pc companion? If not then try that as this will put latest android version on your device.
Or perhaps you might have installed an app recently which is conflicting somehow with the GPS function
Other than that, I'm not too sure, but if it's only a month old I'd be tempted to end it back for a replacement

Ok, well. I have the latest android version, and I removed the apps I installed in the last week. Did not work..
So can you please tell me how to reformat the phone.
And is there a way I can backup my messages, apps, photos?

just connect you r phone to PC and open PC companion program from your PC...go to update.i think it will tell you that you have the latest firmware and it will give you the option to repair.just press on repair and it will instal a fresh firmware to your form, in other words it will format your phone and instal a new firmware...back up ur photos and music and other things on s card is simply by copy them to your PC...formatting your phone will not delete any files on the s card however it is recommended to copy every thing to your PC. hope this helped you

find a solution? my xperia play doesnt get a signal.

Hey guys, i Have a Xperia play but this thread looks more as i m passing through, i installed several roms and​ kernels but my GPS Wont Works, im thinking that my last overclock has burned my GPS module, is this possible?

Hi, here im again, this time i m very happy because i repaired my gps of my xperia play and think that your problem is the same, i tried so many ways:
* Custom Kernels : DoomLord, darkforest, and others,
* Custom Roms: Ics, others that i dont remember (i m on this by 2 months)
* Stock Firm: 4.0.1.A.0.283, .42, .62
* Tried to change the BaseBand so many times
* Tried to clean the main board chip (yes i disassembled my phone many times).
* Tried other things that i dont remember.
Today i flashed a 2.3.2 android stock version, and the signal is best, hsupa working better, and (not in the first time) Gps working fine.
I put "not in the first time" because the gps is a complicated part of the phone it needs so many things working together to be ok that it only worked 4 hours after i had flashed, testing an testing, purging the a-gps data, downloading so many apps to gps... at the end "GPS Status App" on the option "Manage A-GPS status" solved the problem.
Thank you for the attention,

Guys, help. GPS cant find current location but sees satellites. I flashed X-gamer with Night-elf kernel my Xperia Pro. On stock it was working fine.
So what it could be? I havent found any mentions of this problem in Firmware of Kernel threads. Maybe its some missed app?

xperia arc s gps not connecting
I have same problem with my Xperia arc s,
it is not showing a single satellite in GPS STATUS app, neither connecting with anyone, just blinking on i have spend nights on internet and hours on phone but haven't solve my problem,rebooted my phone, nothing helping me,
and anyone knows that does XPERIA ARC S has digital compass?

3 bugs I have with ALL 4.2.1 roms.

Just wondering if these are problems everyone is facing, or just me, and if there is maybe a fix for some of them. They have been broke for MONTHS, and I can't figure out why I don't see more people talking about them, or why they haven't fixed them yet.
1. Bluetooth A2DP streaming is broke - Okay, this one I know is common knowledge, so we can skip this one. Supposed to be fixed officially by Google in 4.2.2. I can live with this.
2. The native WiFi hot-spot only works without encryption. All WiFi hot-spot apps from the Play Store are broken as well. Either you can't connect to the phone from your laptop/device, or the SSID isn't broadcasted at all, and you can't see it from anything.
3. When using a Google app that requires the microphone, whatever app you are using will crash. I have noticed this with Google Now, and most annoyingly the keyboard. The worst thing about this is that if you accidentally hit the mic key on the keyboard, the keyboard crashes, and it doesn't work again until you wipe the phone and re-install the Rom. Rebooting doesn't even solve it.
All three of these problems persist for me through out all the roms I have tried. This means CyanogenMod10.1, Kangdroid, PAC, Paranoid, Slimbean, etc. I know most of those are based on CM10.1, so that explains why they are all broke, but why have they been broke for so long, or is it just me?

Never seen #3 happen (I use it quit a bit). Wifi hotspot issue is known.

That's very possible. It's one of the first things I try when I get the latest nightlies, so I probably try it each time before I have updated anything.
Is there any reason to think that the hot-spot issue will be resolved in 4.2.2?

Ya, and I don't know, it might be coding that is needed within AOSP, does wifi tether encrypted not work on the Nexus 4 or GNEX?

Just an update for anyone who is searching and finds this thread by some chance...
It looks like 4.2.2 did not fix the HotSpot issue, but it did fix the Bluetooth streaming. I tried the SmoothRom 4.2.2 release, to test these things.
PAC-man rom 4.2.1 is my current favorite rom, and they did somehow fix both of those issues recently. Probably had something to do with 4.2.2's release this week. So if someone is looking for a 4.2 rom with working Bluetooth, and WiFi tether encryption, you might want to give that rom a try.
It is right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2015525

4.2.2 has working everything. On Liquid Illusion you need to flash a custom kernel that is updated to have encrypted hotspot.

I've had #3 happen, and it can be fixed by clearing the data for the keyboard and the voice search (I don't remember if the voice search part was an app, but I remember looking for it). Just go to apps and wipe the data.

Thanks for the info, but updating to the newest Google App from the PlayStore fixed it for me.
Your solution would probably fix the need to reflash.

[Q] GPS issue

I have been having intermittent issues with my GPS but its getting worse. I am currently running Bonestock v2.0.2 but this has happened on other ROMs as well. Didn't use GPS enough while it was stock to know if it was an issue or not. Here is what is happening:
Some apps that use GPS including Google Maps, Car Dashboard Pro, etc will say that GPS is disabled. Google Maps will actually pop up and say its disabled and gives me the option to cancel or go to settings. If I go to settings, everything is checked implying GPS is indeed enabled. Yet Maps still says its disabled. Occasionally Maps will work for a minute and then just randomly lose the GPS signal. This was a huge PITA as I was on a 7 hour drive for a Job interview and kept losing my GPS signal. After about two hours and 4-5 reboots on the road, it finally stayed on for the rest of my trip.
Today, due to the snow storm in MI, I had to pick up a coworker on my way to work. Used Google Maps on my phone because I didn't know where he lived. It worked just fine. Dropped him off after work and tried to use Google Maps again to get out of his convoluted neighborhood, and it gave me the GPS disabled message and 2 hours later after a few reboots, and I still cannot get it to work.
Software info:
Android 4.3
Sense 5.0
Bonestock 2.0.2
Baseband 1.12.42.1104
Let me know if you need any other info off the phone to help diagnose. Any help is appreciated. For the record, I did full wipes while flashing new ROMs. This has been an issue on at least three different ROMs.

I have no experience with Bonestock but on my stock ROM the Google location settings are in a different Google Settings app and not directly controlled by GPS enable/disable. I had so many problems with Google Maps I switched to a couple of other alternatives. Have you tested to see if you have the same problems when using another app such as Osmand or Locus?

I have not tried other navigation apps, but I have several apps that use the GPS signal and they dont work either. Car Dashboard Pro provides street information and speed, but can never find satellites. I just checked the google settings app that I had tucked away in folder, but that says everything is enabled as well.

I had heard bad things about the newest OTA radio which is why I went with 1.12.42.1104. But the problem was occurring even before I flashed 1.12.42.1104, so I really don't think its the problem.
I just flashed 1.12.41.1112_2. So, we will see what happens.

SO did you fix the issues?

Honestly, I don't remember. This was 2 years ago. I've been through 4-5 phones since then. I will say, the M7 was probably the worst phone I've owned in recent years. I only used it for a few months before dumping it.

[Q] Random reboots fix?

Ive looked everywhere for a solution but cant seem to find one. My N7, currently running CM11, will randomly reboot for seemingly no reason. Sometimes i can go a day or two and nothing but just when i get comfortable, BLAM! Im not particularly worried just frustrated. I dont know what to do and I have read that its sort of common whether stock or custom(ROM). Im debating on trying to revert to stock because i cant seem to remember having this problem before CM, but i really cant be sure. Id rather not revert to stock if im just gonna have this issue but if it seems to work for others then id just go stock. Anyway I guess im saying that I need some advice here on what others experienced or think. Has reverting to stock worked for anyone else? Any other advice/insight would be greatly appreaciated!
-Thanks

The fix is coming, when Google releases Android 4.4.3, by the end of the month.. Sit tight

My stock N7 reboots randomly from time to time. It might go a week or more then reboot twice in one day. No apparent pattern to it.

I am experiencing precisely the same issue described in the OP. So I am also pretty interested in knowing if there's a fix.
@BSnapp, how can you be so sure of that upcoming fix? Is there a known issue with 4.4.2 for the N7 that was resolved for the next version? Any sources worth mentioning?
Thanks.

It's all over the Android news sites that Google is including a fix for the random reboot, plus several other fixes.. Just Google Android 4.4.3 update, and you will find the answers you seek...
