[Q] Google Talk problems - myTouch 4G General

I have a htc glacier, rooted with cyanogen 7.0 RC 1. my google talk is giving me issues.
1.) it does not always stay signed in.
2.) sometimes it wont sign out but i have to sign out and back in before i get messages that were not delivered.
this is happening more regularly than not, and its happening every day. Is there any fix for this?

Try using the newest version of cyanogen. They have released four versions since that version.

GTalk signing itself off reminds me of the old G1. The dang thing had so little memory, the GTalk service would be constantly pushed out of memory causing you to be signed off. Clearly, that's not the issue here with the MT4G.

i was running the most recent cyanogen version but reverted back to the build i am on because with the newest version i was unable to reconnect after logging out.

Google Voice, wakelock, Sprint VVM?

So, after trying for months to get Google Voice to sync on my phone, I followed some directions from jamzersteak that FINALLY got it to work. I was excited until I noticed my battery getting creamed.. Google Voice was causing a nasty wakelock on a few builds of CM7 =\
My question is :
Has anyone else had this/figured out what's causing it?
And, I know I read somewhere that there was a VVM zip you can flash that was working on cm7 but I can't find it... I tried backing it up from sense but TB never shows it as backed up for me =\

Apps not syncing

Just got my new TB after work, logged in and drove home, none of my Market apps have synced from my Nexus S. Rooted the phone and still no apps have synced. Installed Adryn's debloat rom, no apps have synced.
I have "Backup data to Google" checked when I login my gmail account. I've been doing this for years with multiple phones and hundreds of rom flashes and my apps always synced automatically.
Did this happen to anyone else? I can go to market.android.com and push all my apps manually but over 100+ apps is going to take forever.
Does it have something to do with Sense? This is my first Sense phone.
Honestly, I always just thought the backup system only restored the apps if you were moving to the same model device. You'll notice this same thing happen if you flash an AOSP rom later. At least it always did with my Incredible. If I had an AOSP rom, it would restore one set of apps I had installed. If I flashed back to a Sense ROM, I got the other set. So, yeah, I'd wager it's something with Sense. But if what you're saying is right, when you get an AOSP Gingerbread rom on there, they might all come back.
My apps installed automagically.....I logged into the phone at the store and by the time I got home, about 10 mins away, they were installed.
I do remember hearing awhile back that if you went into the market before the app restore started...it wouldn't start. Not sure if that still applies or if it was even correct....but I always wait until my apps restore before I hit the market.

I didn't get any of my apps going from my Incredible to my first Thunderbolt. I just swapped to a new one today and got all my apps back from the TB, but nothing from the Incredible.
I had to download everything myself. If you're worried about missing an old app, etc, go to My Market Account (top right on the browser version of the market). That will have a nice list of old apps for you
I had the same issue coming from a Droid X. When I went from Droid to Droid X everything carried over, but the first time I started the devices it didn't load my old apps. When I rooted using the first method it did. When I rooted using the new method it didn't. It might have to do with opening Market before it starts, but I'm not 100% sure.
Hmm, interesting. I'll just leave it be for the time being, I'll end up wiping and flashing new roms in he next couple days anyways so I'll see what happens.
Mine autorestored the very first time when I wiped/cleared for CM7 test0. Then when I wiped/cleared for test3 they didn't.

[Q] G2 - Market Suddenly Doesn't Allow Downloads

Ok so I have a HTC G2 (Desire/Vision). I decided that i finally wanted to root it and go all out. So I did the permaroot and installed the newest version of Clockworkmod no problem. I then flashed the CM 7.03 rom. Booted up, everything looked good. I then flashed the newest version of gApps. It asked me to sign in and everything was fine. The final step I took was flashing the G2-Fast kernel (1.9ghz OC). So when i boot up my phone, google attempts to back up all my apps via the market. There was around 100 apps downloading. So I left it there over night. This morning i check it, the last 10 apps or so were unsuccessful. I kept trying to reinstall apps but nothing. I also tried new or different apps but all come up as "Download Unsuccessful". Since then I've tried just about everything to fix it. clearing cache/data, reflashing, superwipe, sobe's method, signing into to GTalk, toggling 2G. I figured I try a new rom. So far I've flashed meXdroidMod and MIUI, but same result. Everything is fine but market doesn't want to work. I'm contemplating reloading my old ROM that i backed up once i get home. Anyone have any ideas? I pray to the gods of XDA.
I don't have much experience with your particular phone buy there has been a small epidemic of your issue on droid x running Gingerbread. It appears to be a disconnection of the google account with the market. It always appears to happen after a data wipe and need to reinstall apps. Sometimes you can still push apps from the Internet market to the phone, sometimes not. In a few cases it resolves by unmounting the sd card and downloading. Once download works then ok to remount. Besides those lucky few, everyone else has to wait it out. Even sbf does not fix it.
FORTUNATELY every case I know of resolved itself spontaneously in about 24hrs give or take. I found at least one case via google on a Thunderbolt so I know it can happen to other phones. Also if you have more than one android device on the same account all of them are affected. Good Luck
It has happened twice to me. Because of this I now keep copies of my most important apps on my sd card.

[Q] Skype issues

Searched this forum and couldn't really find anything, so here goes..
Over the past month or so i've been having non stop issues with skype, to name a few:
- Can't sign in.
- Contacts status won't update.
- IMs won't go through.
And the list continues...
Over the past 2 weeks though, I can't even sign in, skype will just hang on the sign in screen until i force close it.
Tried uninstalling and re-installing multiple times, no luck, sometimes it will sign in followed by a random sign out.
When it does sign in, I can't make calls or send IM's anyway.
Using CleanRom 2 (didn't have a chance to upgrade to the latest one).
I'll note that skype is working just fine on my gf's RAZR M.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

Have you cleared app data? Even uninstalling and reinstalling leaves the data.
Sent from my S3 running Eclipse 2.1
Sure did.
Ok, so i had some time to mess with this today.
At first i was planning to try flashing another rom just to test, then decided to just flash the newest modem version (G7) - that did the trick.
Skype seems to be back to normal now, some minor glitches but i believe that's already skype being... skype.
Thanks for reading.

[Q] Can't access network, need to wipe on Andromeda

Been using my Cappy as a game device for close to a year since I got an SII. Tonight I tried to download an app via wireless and could not access Google Play. Tried using the SIM from the SII, but phone still gets network errors even with wifi on. Provisioned the phone, but still no go. I'm thinking a factory reset and starting from scratch might work, but I am running Andromeda 3 and am unsure what will happen if I do a reset. Will it restore to the factory version of Froyo? Will I lose root? I want to use the Cappy to fly my AR Drone 2, but I don't want to mess it up to do so. It flies great with the SII, but it would be nice to have the Cappy for it if possible. Incoming calls cause the copter to land and can be a pain. The Cappy doesn't even show up among my phones on Google Play. Don't remember deleting it, but until I can get some kind of network access I'm sunk. Did the APNs change for the Cappy in the past year? Shouldn't it be able to connect via wifi regardless? Thanks!
That's a strange problem... however you didn't specify what exactly isn't working. I know Google play doesn't work, but does anything else work over wifi? Either way, it is hard to give support when you are using a very outdated version of Android. I recommend you at least update to Gingerbread, or if you want, Jellybean.
You can also try clearing data for the play store. That's strange that it doesn't show up under your account. My old phone that I sold months ago is still there (twice), and there is no way to delete phones from the list. Are you sure you weren't using a different account?
I can't access either network, which is what is baffling me. I would think I should at least be able to access the internet via wifi, but even that won't work. It connects to my router fine, but beyond that nothing. As for my Play account, I remember several Cappys showing up there because I had 2 replacements within a month back when I first got it in 2010. Whether they dropped off from non-use or I deleted them somehow I don't remember. I just had my SII replaced under warranty last month and both are still there. My SII came with a new 4G SIM, which might not be compatible with the Cappy, but that doesn't explain not being able to connect via wifi. I'm stumped.
A factory data reset won't change your Rom, and you won't lose root. It might fix the problem.

Well, I managed to get online, but another issue cropped up. I logged into Google Play and can see all my installed apps. There are many needing updating, but when I try to do so I get a message that the app is not compatible with my device. Why would an already installed app see that an update is available and then not let me install it? I can also receive e-mail to my 2 configured e-mail accounts, but I can't send any e-mails through them. The same is true of both these accounts on my SII, so this issue may have nothing to do with the Cappy. I may just put a GB ROM on this thing, but it's been so long since I flashed anything that I have no idea which ROM to use or how to do it. I wonder if I copy over the APK for the app I want to run if it will work?

You'll need to flash KK4 with bootloaders (check the stickied in dev section). That will get you on stock GB, from there you can flash w/e ROM you want, I would suggest JB based. (AOKP and AOCP are my personal fav but you can look them up and choose one you see fit)
A lot of things changed since you were all over this forum But if you have TiBu, JB will optimize your apps so they should run fine (just remember to save your IMEI with TiBu otherwise they'll FC).
A fresh download of those apps tho will most likely be better. Just like after formatting a PC, it is better to fresh install your apps. And who knows, you might fall in love with your Cappy all over again
