[Q] Multiple gtalk account - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Just got my transformer today and since me and my girlfriend are gonna use it I add both our accounts to the transformer. It works everywhere but in the gtalk app. The main gmail account can see its contacts and chat just fine but the secondary account can't. It signs in fine but the contact list does not show up and if I send message to that account the transformer does not see it.
Did anyone manage to make this work?
FYI, I'm running the latest version from Asus. (.13)
Steve

No one knows anthing about this?
Can anyone try and let me know if it works at least?
Steve

it works for me
I have 3 google accounts (1 gmail & 2 gapp) and gtalk works for all of them

I am having the same problem. Was trying to get it to work between accounts and found out as i was switching back and forth between accounts. No clue on how to make it work, sorry.

I just deleted both accounts and reinserted them in the invert order and only the first created account has a contact list in gmail. The second one, his list is empty and I can receive msgs.

im having a problem with my contacts as well. its a little different though. if i add contacts to my phone, it will not back them up to google contacts. i lost every contact i made in the past 4 weeks when i rooted and installed a BAMF. i did the manual sync before i started, but didnt get any thing to my google account

When adding contacts to your phone you need to make sure you change the first option to sync with your Google account. For some reason it defaults to phone and if you don't switch it, it won't sync. It would be sweet if any of the devs could make a mod so it defaults to your Google account.

I'm guessing you have 460 phone contacts and 322 Google contacts on your phone.
Are you also syncing with your PC?
I would export your contacts to your sdcard (just in case) then delete all of your contacts and re-sync with Google.
I personally don't sync my contacts with Google.

Its syncing anyone who has sent you an email basically, there is a setting in gmail to change it but have to be logged in to full site via pc or mac or the phone's browser

duplicate contacts
i had duplicates upon duplicates for every number in my phone. for anyone else with this problem, and a google account, just sync all your contacts to your google account. go on your gmail from a computer. on the top left of the screen under "gmail by google" click on contacts. from there, click on "more actions" (right above the phone numbers) then click on "find and merge duplicates". then sync your contacts again and there you go, one phone number per contact! i hope this info is useful to someone else. i just wish i knew about this back in the good 'ol G1 days lol. but i guess thats what happens when cell phones replace computers ha!

GTalk + Google Apps and/or multiple account issues post-3.1?

For whatever reason, after flashing 3.1, Google Talk doesn't work for either of my Apps accounts. It shows me as signed in in the app, but doesn't pull down my contact list or actually send messages. My Gmail account is just fine, tried deleting the accounts in question and no dice.
I am having the same issue with the Motorola Xoom. I am also running 3.1 and have 3 accounts. Anyone else having the same problem?
I posted a bug report here:
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=17252&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars
Mine shows my contact list but doesnt show any messages recently sent since I flashed to 3.1. Also the status shows everyone offline but on my phone it shows the correct availability,,,,mmmmmm weird

Just to be a bit more specific, one account is a regular GMAIL account, and the other 2 are Google Apps Accounts, on separate domains.

I have one Gmail and one Google Apps account. Works fine, Gmail widget haven't disappeared. What about yours? Was your domain upgraded?

Switched syncing on?
Same problem, not on 3.1
I started experiencing this problem on Saturday.
I'm running Prime 1.3r2 with netformer 1.3 NOT 3.1
I have 3 google apps accounts and 2 traditional gmails. All working as intended until Saturday evening. Now only the first account I sign in to works until I do a reboot. The rest incorrectly show status and fail to send messages. During some testing last night my friends we're receiving test messages from a different account on my list regardless of it was signed in or not.
complete wipe and reload (not restore) did not fix the problem, leading me to believe it's on the google side maybe.

Picasa/Youtube uploading - Failed to retrieve account information error.

Hi guys,
I've answered the issue in the subject below. PLEASE do not factory reset your phones.
A similar answer has been posted in Google help forums.
----------------------------------
The reason why your factory resets work and after that, you skip any other account information and key in only your google account first is simple.
The first time the picasa upload is invoked, it parses your accounts list for account information to use. If any other accounts are in there, for example, motoblur, htc sense... perhaps even facebook(which was the case in my situation), it won't work anymore.
Solution?
Dont need to factory reset.
1.) Go to your accounts list and remove ALL other types of accounts there and only leave your primary google account there. I also suggest killing all apps using task manager cept those you've ignored(like droidwall etc).
2.) Open gallery and attempt to upload a picture via picasa, you should now see that it's able to show in the drop down list, all your albums.
3.) After a successful upload, which will happen because of steps 1 and 2, go to your account information list and add back your other accounts(facebook, whatsapp and whatever else).
Now you've got picasa uploads working permanently. Youtube should also work automatically(although i never had a youtube problem because my youtube account used in the app is diff from my primary google account used on the phone and for picasa).
Hello. Thanks. I tried your method and it actually worked. However, when I re-added my other accounts, the problem re-occurred. I am currently using Picasa tool for pic uploads and the browser for youtube uploads. Any ideas on how to solve this. I works perfectly with my Galaxy S II.
Do you have more than one Google account to add?

it works! only problem is that once i install the account again the problem continues!
I am having this issue when Dropbox is in my "accounts" list.
I was experiencing the issue, removed all accounts but gmail and was able to send to picasa, added them all back after and again i was unable to.
I changed the email used for facebook to another different than the gmail one and i was able to upload to picasa again.
It seems the issue is with sync accounts sharing the same email/login as gmail.

I had the problem with dropbox. Couldn't upload things to Picasa.
Changed my dropbox email address login (which was the same as my google account email) and voila... everything works now as it should!
Thanks jsolares!
Same account name
Thx for this!
I removed endomodo account, which had same name (using google account) as account used for picasa upload and it works.
So basic advice is to remove/change name of all accounts which have same name as your google account.
Nowadays, facebook account in my xperia neo V with ISC is causing that problem. When I sync it with my FB account, im unable to upload pics to picasa. THAT sucks.
LinkedIn App is the problem
I have a Galaxy Nexus with 4.0.4
I removed all the account and repeated an upload after adding each account.
Right after adding LinkedIn account, the upload started to fail. Removed it and tried again, not surprisingly, it works.
Added twitter, added another google account, etc. No issues.
Ok, let's try again... then it fails. Again, remove the LinkedIn app, it works.
So the problem is the linked in account.
Thanks. it worked
actually it didnt, it stopped working after I added facebook and skype
Please google... Fix this fast!
Does anybody have solution?

Not true. As soon as you add your other accounts back the Picasa upload is broken once again. My research says it has to do with your other accounts having the same login credentials as your Google account. As a test, change your accounts in the sync section to an email address other than your Gmail account email address and you should be working properly. This is a band-aid fix however and it's something that Google needs to address as this should NOT be a conflict. Everyone complain to Google for an actual fix to this bug.

[Q] need help for gmail app

Hi, All
My XOOM is MZ601 with Andriod 3.1. I have used it for several days and everything looks well but email issue.
I have a gmail account and have almost 5000 email during 3 years. I setup my gmail account with XOOM gmail app and setup the duration as 999 days, sync all in lab. But I only can get 5 or 6 weeks email, and when new email comes, the oldest will be missed. When I scroll down to load more conversation, but nothing happened. I don't know how to setup the account and let me get all the email in my gmail account.
BTW, I found a strange thing, I can use search to find old email.
I do believe it's the limiation of the app due to the fact that you have way too much email subjects loaded into memory. That's why you have the search function and setting up labels and what not. It does the same thing with my Thuderbolt so yeah.
Thanks.
It's no good for the user. I can use iphone to see all the email, I can use palmpre to see all the mail but I can't use XOOM do the same thing. The Xoom is more better for biz.
Anybody know how to break the limited for the mail? Thanks.

[Q] Is phone-only, unsynced contacts profile under ICS possible?

Untill Google get off their asses and fix the low-res issue Gmail Contacs has, I tried to work around this, as I did on froyo and gingerbread and save all my contacts under a phone-only, unsynced profile so I can add hi-res images of my own and not have Google mess them up on the next sync.
However I have yet to manage to do this under ICS. Is it no longer possible?
AOSP+ 2.2.5 ROM
Nexus S i9023
fb doesn't sync in my ics, any ideas ?
While I appreciate the bump it's unrelated to my issue.
/// COMPUTOR 5000 / endmessage
Give this a try
There is an app that allows you to import appointments from iCal files now while that is not you issue to do this the app creates a dummy account on the phone that is unsynced and at least in previous android (i.e. froyo and gingerbread) you were able to add contacts under that account.
So hopefully this works for you.
Also just to mention this app is not mine nor have I had any input into it.

I agree, this needs to be added back
I've been trying to add contacts to be new phone and haven't been able to because it wants to sync with my work email account or my gmail. Neither of which do I want my personal contacts synced with.
Does anyone know of a way to save an unsynced contacts in ICS or Jellybean????
