Google Talk Not working??? - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone, Im using google talk the default version that came with my xoom and when I type something i can see it in the chat box, however when someone sends me something back, i see it in the notification bar but when i go to google talk i cant see what the typed to me. It is not in the chat box. Has anyone elese had this problem or know how to fix it? Please let me know. Its a grave inconvience for me.

ok i fixed my own problem. The date was the wrong date so when i would recieve the messages it would not be visible because it was set to a different time frame. Hence, auto live date and time makes it work properly.

Qik issues

I have downloaded the new Qik and restarted and now it will not let me log in says that I am not connected to the network. I am connected to 3g and have tried on wifi as well, uninstalled and reinstalled as well as rebooted..... ahhhhh
I had the same problem until I accepted the OTA update and now it works just fine. Don't worry about root not being possible after the update because unrevoked.apk works with or without the OTA update.
If your not getting the OTA sent to you do this.
Menu - Settings - System Updates - HTC software update
Hope that helps
So after a FULL DAY WITHOUT QIK ON THE MARKET PLACE, I find "Qik Video" on there this morning and its doing the same thing as the preinstalled (that never updated btw).
Keeps telling me I don't have internet access.. pfft.

this is because every evo owner in the US is killing QIK's server if you wait and be patient you can eventually log in. now the app is kinda weak the video chat is similar to PTT. the person that initiates the call may talk freely while the other user has to push the talk button to speak. Skype on fring will be awesome until skype releases their own app later this year
Qik not workin
Hi everyone! Well just to report that qik is not really working, yesterday when I got my EVO the bestbuy employe set it up for me and it worked but later on when I tried to open the app again, it didn't work. I did update the my evo but still it doesn't work. I'm starting to believe that it may be bugs or something, what do you guys think?
well i also had some troubles with qik...... force closes everywhere.......it will work and then it doesn't.
The only thing i found to do is clear data then it works but I thought it did video chat I knew it was going to stink
...I also have not done the OTA yet....
Was having problems with it too! Did the lastest update and could log in after, oh about 20 times. BUT I lost the ability for video chat! Dont update if you want to keep video chat! The blue one has video and the orange does not! Anyone got the blue Qik apk?
choose contact number
Here's my deal with it. When I choose a contact to whom I want to send a video qik picks the wrong number and there's no way to select another number or email addy from the contact card. This alone makes the app 90% useless for me. I went to their support forum and its a mess. Anybody here have a solution for this?
here's the blue app
after installing, reboot your device and it should show up
enjoy
will this cause 2 icons one blue one orange or will it update the orange as they intended?
I have the blue one but neither I or my friends can figure out how to video chat with it. Qik = horrible fail.
okay so i installed the blue Qik app.. it worked over Wifi... freezes on 3g. .. 4G is spotty for me.. i barely get 1 bar if i even do get it... but it works.. only issue. it FC's when you try and sync with twitter.. and also facebook sync doesnt seem to work.. keeps asking me to go to the browser.. which i have.. but is still telling me that... anyone has this issue resolved?

[Q] Google Talk issue

Has anyone else who currently uses an Android phone and the Transformer have the issue that when logged into talk on their phone, the transformer does not receive the talk messages?
works fine for me.
Works for me too. I had my desktop/phone/TF all go off at the same time. :O
On a second thought - Chat works, but a voice call only went to the Pad. Which was unfortunate, since I'm (well, the other party, not me) experiencing pretty significant echo.

IT happens if you use one of the devices to talk to someone, that device then takes all the notifications for a while. But if someone messages you out of the blue, it should show up everywhere. This is the case with my phone, desktop, and laptop. The phone and desktop are always on. So I'm at school, I'll get pings from my phone and laptop, I come home, see a bunch of first messages from people. But since I started responding on my other devices, it didn't pick up the rest of the convo.
Wouldn't mind all devices keeping track of everything though.
But the chatting style is quite crappy. All my text stays under and the text of the correspondant stays above. So when I text too faste, the above text disappears. The thread is not mixed which is quite difficult to follow.

I've had the same thing happen to me already. Happened with the first firmware update but ever since I got the newest one, I haven't had too many issues. It is true, if you respond to a message on your Phone, you won't get the message notification on the TF until a unknown amount of inactivity across the board.

I had the same issue. Check if there is any time difference between you and the person you are talking with. In my case I was an hour ahead of my friend and all my messages were stacked in the upper part while all his messages were on the bottom. I changed my time settings an hour early and the conversations are ok now.

Where is..
ok thanks, it was in the application list but not on the desktop (any of them).
Does video chat work for Google Talk on the Transformer yet? or Are there any video chat application(s) that work for this device?
Yup, works fine for me
Yeah, similar issue here with my gf's tab... sometimes messages are only received on the phone.

[Q] Built-in Messenger

I was Using the built-in Msn/facebook messenger function in the Mango built 7.10.7712.60 and came here to share some thought and wonder if i am the only one facing this issue or is there anyone else
Sometimes i get messages with delays .. the scenario is like this :
i am chatting with someone then a sudden silence breaks in .. after a while i write a something and hit send and BOOM i get like 3-4 messages that i didn't recieve on time.. it happened to me several times
did it happen to anyone else or just me ?
Yep, I've noticed that also.

I also have the same issue but mostly due to bad internet connection
Go to wifi. Try it.
No delays. Blame your internet.
Just happens with my 3G/2G internet.
It happens to me all the time. What is annoying, though, is getting a toast notification for _every_ message, even when you are in the thread. I wouldn't mind the many toasts while I am not in the thread, but good grief, when I am watching all the messages come in, I don't need a notification for every one.
I am still unable to see my contacts online or to have them integrated with their actual contact information. I can chat with them if they message me first though. And they always show up as their email address. Has anyone figured that out yet?

Eh, I'm sure everything will work great when the final release comes out. My phone has done some things that don't happen on demo videos or it won't do things that demo phones do. It's what we get for playing with the beta.

yes, this is solved by soft reset all your data on the phone - from the settings menu, ofc it will wipe all your data and everything, i had the same problem btw ^^
@The Main Problem
I am pretty sure its not related to the internet speed too, my 3G internet speed is above 4 mb/s
i Can't try it over wifi for some reason.. and even if i tried it will be of no use .. the basic state for my phone is 24/7 on 3G with Wifi turned off even at home .. also wifi turns off automatic after screen off so thats another block ..
what i am asking for is the reliability over 3G which is very important for a BBM/iCrap replacement solution ( for example )
i hope this get fixed in the final release, but i won't bet on it since the final release already out
The final release its 8 builds after our mango. So, it is a bug, it should be corrected. Although I dont think it really is a bug..
Jallen, do you have the Facebook app installed with notifications turned on?
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
are you able to see your contacts status? i can see there name and for some friends i can only see there email id. And the yahoo friends who are on my windows live ID. i can see them online but when i click on there name it says "Something's wrong"

[Q] gs3 - can't send texts - CyanogenMOD 11 KitKat

Hey guys,
This is my first post, and I would greatly appreciate some help. I'm clearly quite a rookie at this. But I rooted my Verizon gs3 quite some time ago, and everything has run smoothly since. I did use it while in the UK on GiffGaff Mobile, and still worked fine. Now I am using Simple Mobile.
Just today, I installed the CyanogenMod 11 KitKat. I am able to send & receive MMS. And I can receive SMS, but I cannot send SMS.
I have tried changing the SMSC number using the dialer, but it keeps reverting back to "+12063130004",145 . I have also tried using different SMSC codes using the GoSMS app. I've played around with the APNs as well, but from the little that I know about this, this only has to do with MMS not SMS, correct?
Don't know what else to do, and I can't find any threads that have helped me yet.
PLEASE help, and I would greatly appreciate it.

If you toggle airplane mode or reboot the phone can you send an SMS? I haven't played with my phone at all lately but suddenly similar symptoms have manifested. I can send 1 SMS every time I reboot, but then it stops sending SMS after that one. Is this true with you? I haven't found a fix yet, but I'm trying to flush out the problem completely.

I figured it out!! Finally! I had the same issue - I was able to send one message, then suddenly nothing. Do you have Google Voice+ ?? If so, try disabling it. You cannot disable it through the Settings>Apps - you actually have to go into the App then and select disable.

Its just called Voice+. I know, I spent hours trying to sort it out. Other than that and messing around with the SMSC number, I'm not sure what else would be the problem.

So what do you mean by go into the app? if I press menu> manage apps, and then under the tab "All" at the bottom there is a "Voice+". I'm on CM10.2 and it appears that the "Voice+" is part of CM. If I open my app drawer and scroll down there is no app called Voice+.
There is Voice Dialer and Voice Search, but nothing else in the app drawer with a similar name. If I'm not going down the correct path please let me know. Thank you.

Hmm, that's odd that its not showing up in the app drawer. It should be. Do you use Google Voice at all? On my phone, the option to disable or uninstall is blocked when I go into Settings>Apps. But if you don't use the app and your phone allows you to, maybe try disabling and/or uninstalling from there?? Let me know, and I'll keep looking.

So, I have the option to force stop it. (no change in results).
I've even downloaded the "Google Voice" app, which added the "Voice+" app, opened it, confirmed that it was on disable and still no change.
I have no idea why this problem started this morning since I don't believe I am any changes to my phone the past couple days... I really don't know what information I can provide to help troubleshoot it...
I'm having the same exact problem starting this morning. I can send exactly one message and then I have to reboot or turn airplane mode on/off to send another. Everything was working perfectly fine yesterday, though. I've tried deleting my phone's cache in the recovery menu but it hasn't helped.

Carrier: Verizon. I was initially on CM 10.2 but both rolled back to CM 10.1 and upgraded to CM 11 to see if any of those fixed the problem. Neither did and I reluctantly (for now at least) went back to stock and unrooted my phone. Texting is working fine but I absolutely hate TouchWiz. I have no idea what could have caused the issue and, like you, I didn't make any changes at all before it happened. It literally appeared out of the blue.

A bunch of us on S4s seem to be having the same problem! The timing of this issue all happening at once is weird... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50552025
OK this really does seem to work for me as a temp workaround...it sticks through reboots and all. Go to the dialer and enter the trusty old *#*#4636#*#* then go to phone settings and change preferred network type to CDMA only then back out and reboot.
It kinda sucks cause it's slow on the go, but at least I can send texts reliably. I have WiFi most places I am anyway.
If anyone figures out a real long term fix please post!!!

sorry for such a late response. I solved this by just disabling Google Voice+. It is just called Voice+ in the app drawer, and when you open it, just tap 'Disable' & reboot the device.

Some people don't have voice+ and the solution you used isn't an option for them.
For those of us less fortunate than you, It seems you can fix the problem by loading a TW ROM and flashing the MB1 firmware. Then you can return to CM
I had XVoice+ for Exposed on my SGS4, it stopped me from sending texts. It was ok when i uninstalled it. I hope that might help.

Voice input fail...?

Anyone having issues with voice (system, US English)? In that it only works once or twice, then constantly fails with the error "voice input fail".
I can change language (to German for instance) it will work a few times, then stop... back to US English (works a few times...then, yep, stops....).....
Anyone else see this?
Thanks!
Edit/Update - - Try UK ?? English!

I have the same issue. Don't know what's wrong.
Seems to work now....

Yours working yet? I factory reset the watch after backing it up and did the whole set-up dance....no difference. Then, later in the day, it started working....haven't thoroughly tested it....but it seems be better....
..
I have an S2, but the underlying implementation is the same.
S-Voice uses a remote server for decoding and interpreting voice input. Occasionally Samsung's servers are unresponsive or failing in some other way. I've experienced this a few times over the last year I've had my S2.
So this may be what was going on, particularly since it started working again later. I didn't use S-voice yesterday, so I can't comment on any outages.
Finally, I will add that since the rollout of the recent update adding a bunch of S3 features to the S2 (reminders, etc.) and updating the entire Tizen OS, S-voice is working much better than it used to. Still doesn't hold a candle to Google's "okay google", but has crossed the threshold to being a useful, value-add feature now rather than a cruel tease. In my opinion, of course.
I had this problem with my S3. You might have hit a setting that you did not realize you hit. When you were able to enter speech and hit send, you had a choice to choose send as text or send as voice. Just below these two choices there is a small circle, if you accidentally touch that, it turns off the speech input and only uses the text. The only way I have found to get out of this mode is to open the main settings, scroll down to messages, select messages, you should see "send as audio". Click it so it is "on".
This should take you back to where it will let you dictate messages. Just be careful when selecting the send as text or audio option as that little circle will be below them and it is easy to touch accidentally.
I hope this helps
I have the same problem and it has not been corrected by resetting or the message sound option.
Same issue here
Well it seems to be at it again.
Interesting part is that using U.S. English, it does not work. If I switch it to U. K. English it does work. (I'm in the US..)
... C'mon Samsung, how about getting your current software working correctly before introducing any new buggy stuff.
Skeeter123,, I am having the same exact problem since I installed the new software update , very frustrating hopefully they will fix this issue soon ?
Yup.
Fix the old buggy software before you give us a new buggy stuff.
Ridiculous Update
I have had my watch for one week and it worked great and then the voice input just stopped. I called Samsung and they offered NO help other than for me to mail it back to them, REALLY! So, back to Best buy for an exchange. Well, same issue will another brand new $450 watch. Is the Gear S3 going to another Note 7 debacle? It is a Samsung product. Get your crap together Samsung! If anyone finds a fix, Pease post.
I'm having this problem

You're welcome!
But now you have to speak that funny English that they speak over there.:silly:
While I never tried it till this morning, it did work. US.
Still not working for me. And UK English is not working very well either.
Are you in the US?
For all of my tests I am attempting to dictate a message.
I just switched mine over to the English (UK) and it appears to be working right now. I am in the good ole US of A, and have a pretty thick southern accent and it works, but we should not have to change it this way, but at least it works again.
Yup. I hear ya! Too bad Sammy doesn't. I'm going to check out some of the Android Wear 2.0 watches soon.....If I like one, then it's bye-bye Sammy. For good....sigh...
That's too bad that they will lose customers over their inability to get it right the first time. Crazy thing with voice input, I have to have it set to UK English to respond to text messages, or to send a text, but it has to be in US English to speak a reminder in?. Do you think Samsung even monitors this forum?
