During the day I use a Google Talk client on my computer as I do a lot of communication using it throughout the day. The problem is, responding to a message on my computer does not clear the notification on my phone. Every time someone sends me a new message, I have to go around to every device I have Google Talk logged in and clear all the notifications. It's very annoying.
What I would like to see is similar to email, where reading the message on my computer clears the new mail notification on my phone, and vise versa.
Anyone else frustrated by this, and does anyone know of a Google Talk or Jabber client that has this functionality?

I'm having a problem. I'm constantly getting text messages from Ozmail everytime I get an email message from my Hotmail account. I did a hard reset and upgraded my ROM to the latest version and don't even have email setup on my phone yet. I was looking at other message boards by doing a search on Google and found other people have the same issue. It seems to be with both Verizon and AT&T. The solution I found was to disable your PDA and enable your old phone and go to Get It Now and remove the VZ Mobile Email application and then disable your old phone again and activate your PDA again. I called Verizon to do this and I still have the same problem. It didn't seem to work for me. I've been calling Verzion for months about this problem and they keep saying they will check into it and get back to me and I never hear back from anyone. It's really starting to drive me crazy. Sometimes it happens all day long and sometimes it won't happen for weeks. It's totally intermittant. Please let me know if anybody has a solution. Thanks!
Disable SMS notification in Hotmail settings
You are getting these text messages by enabling the option in your hotmail settings. in addition, you may be paying for them.
Well, I don't remember ever setting it to do that, but I disabled the feature. I'll see what happens. I don't understand why it's coming from Ozmail though. Ozmail is the software that Verizon installs on your Cell Phone via Get It Now, or the downloadable .cab file on the PDAs. You are saying Hotmail is using Ozmail? I'm confused. What do you mean I might be paying for them? Paying for what? I have unlimited text and picture messaging. You are saying the Hotmail is billing you for that service?

I'm an avid user of Google Talk (or Gtalk as they say) because of the snappy way it delivers messages to my friends over 3G rather than normal SMS messages.
The problem I've had with Gtalk though is that ever since the March version of Gapps from Cyanogen there seems to be a bug that keeps repeating old phrases i've already messaged.
For example:
I'll type, "Hi" to someone, and then directly after I start typing... problem is that "Hi" comes up in my dialogue box before whatever new thing I'm typing. So my message looks like this:
Me: Hi
Me: Hiwhats up?
And so forth, and it'll continue forever, unless I leave around a 3 second waiting period before entering more text. Anyone else have this problem? Fixes for this?
Thanks!
I get this as well
I was wondering if anyone was experiencing something similar. I have set up facebook chat and it works great. In fact, it might work too well. When I am actively logged on using facebook chat on the pc, my phone receives the entire conversation and gives the text message alert each time i recieve a message during the chat.
Anyone know how to disable this or work around it so that when your chatting on the pc the phone doesnt receive the messages in real time? I guess its not that big of a deal..just annoying.

Just go to Messaging -> online -> status -> offline when you want to temporarily disable it. I don't think there is anything else you can do.
Appear Offline works too. If you want stay connected to MSN and disconnect from Facebook.
Have any of you heard of this?
Yesterday my phone decides it's NOT going to send SMS through the stock messaging app. I don't get an error, it appears as though it sends, but my recipient never receives it.....most of the time. Sometimes they go thru, sometimes they don't. It seems to mostly NOT go thru.
If the SMS does NOT go through, I can never see it in Google Voice.
If I use the Google Voice SMS app on my phone, recipient receives 100% of their SMS, same with Web interface.
If I disable my Google Voice account via the web and sign out via my phone, my recipient receives 100% of their SMS using the stock app.
I have all the settings nailed. Google Voice is set to sync, background data enabled, etc.... It was, has been working flawlessly up until yesterday with nothing on the phone changing.
I have wiped, reflashed, tried different ROMs, etc....
Today I called Sprint, they re-provisioned things, then basically said since it's a third party app they can't help. I want to beat my head against a wall here.
Anyone have any idea of what the problem could be?
I can't offer any help but I can tell you I saw the exact same problem all day on the 16th and 17th. I've since switched the Google Voice app to use it's own notifications and turned off the text notifications. For the time being, I'm not even using the stock messaging app.
I remember Sprint having an SMS problem a few months ago one afternoon, but it wasn't specific to GV. Maybe something in their GV integration system is a little wacky right now. People said they got about half of the messages I was sending before I switched to the GV app full time.
Good to know I'm not the only one. Looks like a couple of other people have the same problem over in the Google help forums. I de-integrated my account for almost two days, I'm getting ready to re-integrate it now, we shall see what happens. The support for these phones is god awful. If this doesn't resolve it I'm driving to the nearest corporate store and returning it through their window.
LOL! I'm hoping it doesn't come to that, but if you do decide to "return" it, you may want to attach a brick or something. This phone feels way to light to do any damage without a little extra help.

Here's a little update. Not really a good one, but whatever...
All of the text messages I had tried to send though the stock messaging app must have made it to Sprint at least because they all just dumped en mass upon their intended recipients. I got a pile of very confused responses.
Maybe the issue has been resolved. I'll switch my settings back and experiment a little.

That didn't happen to me, but it does appear that my texts are going through. There's one person who says she never gets some, but I can see they're sycning to GV now, where they weren't before. Everyone else is getting my texts too. I have no idea what happened but I'm a little at ease knowing someone else had the problem. I hope it never happens again, I rely on SMS for my business.
I understand that when I am signed in on gTalk on both phone and laptop at the same time, an incoming message will be notified on both the phone and the laptop. Is there any way to make it so that when I am also on laptop, the notification will not come up on the phone?
beside gtalk, i also used msn and facebook chat which also support multiple sign in. apparently, this is the behavior of the im client, only gtalk is smarter, once you reply to chat it will know where you are currently active and won't notify at other devices. the dumbest is of course facebook, where it will send multiple message to all clients non stop for few days.
so i guess a better place to ask this maybe here http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Talk
