I just performed an install of cm7 a3.5 on a brand new touchpad and have run into a problem with gtalk. Gtalk shows everyone as offline after a short period of time and logging out and back in doesnt always solve the issue.
I wasnt able to find much searching on this topic. Does anyone else have similar problems or ideas for a fix?
Thanks!
Check your time. If its off it will kick you off the servers.

I have the time set correctly. If this isnt a cm7 problem in general should I wipe and reload it? If so, what steps would be necessary to do so?
i hate using gtalk on the touchpad. the gtalk apps are just really buggy, imo. even on other phones i've had they've always had issues. if you really want the chatting ability just download any other messenger that supports gtalk.

I like the app and I dont like the extra junk in other messengers. I may just have to live with that though since noone else seems to have this problem.
i have that issue. also there's an issue when i log out where it doesn't really log me out or close the app.
i keep holding out hope that the ICS version will fix my complaints.
I have the same issue, logging out then in has always fixed it for me though.

I haven't run across this issue yet and I use gtalk on a regular basis. possible that it's because I'm using the gapps package with new gtalk? I suppose it wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

Same version number but this one has the audio/video calls enabled.

Bah! WiFi only. I can't do that at work because they don't give us the wifi password. I bet someone enables this to work over data sooner or later. it being friday, and me being a drunk- i probably won't try it today. lol
I ONLY HAVE TRIED THIS ON CM RC 7.0.2 WITH NO PROBLEMS ON ANYTHING ELSE IDK IT WORKS FLAWLESS FOR ME JUST TRIED THE VIDEO CHAT AND ITS GREAT I DIDNT DO THIS ZIP HAZMATIC DID U CAN ASK HIM ON TWITTER
to my understanding this will only work on cm7
@Haxzamatic
thanks to G1-evolve for helping out with testing.
seems like it works flawlessly over wifi, even better IMO compared to tango/qik/fring. interface could use a little work though, but stability > style. lets hope the devs take this and enable this to be used over 3g/4g.
this came out much faster than expected. =D
did a test call from my phone to my gf's computer. the video of her to my phone was HORRIBLY delayed (like 15 seconds, ,maybe more. didn't count) and she could not see a video of me at all. instead she saw my google profile picture.
running CM7.0.2, stock kernel

I finally have Gtalk video/voice working on two way calls, but the images are rotated. So either I have to look sideways or the person I'm talking to has to turn their head. Anyone out there have any suggestions for a fix?

This is a problem with the app itself. There is no fix at this time.

I can't seem to find the exact link I used, but if you google "lithid gapps 0504" you can get a flashable zip w/ a functional talk1.3 apk. I've been using this on CM7 and the camera orientation is fixed.
Also, I think there's a talk 1.3 installer application that's downloadable from the market. Apparently this fixes things too, but I haven't tried it myself.

At the risk of being a little off topic, has anyone tried the new google plus app? What are your thoughts? I'm still waiting for my invite, if you have an extra invite, i'd like to try it out.
I'm curious what other atrix user experiences are with the android app.

haven't played with it much. looks slick on the UI end. when more people get on there it will become more interesting. I like the local streams from people around you. hopefully it continues to roll out effectively otherwise it will end up like wave.

I heard it doesn't do the video chat/hangout stuff, but it does most of the others. Looks to be a very interesting take on the Social realm. While it appears they are going after the Twitter & Facebook real estate, they are going at it in a different way. I dig it. Now only if they would only get around to sending out more invites already, haha.
It's pretty cool. Obviously still needs work like Hangout but i only have a few friends using it thus far, once i get more, i'll play around with it more.

Yea, I figured that would be the crux right now. It's great to have a social spot, but what good is it if you don't know anyone yet? Soon enough, I suppose.
Looks like they had to shut down the existing users invite service (which they opened up yesterday) due to "insane demand."

Definitely not experiencing that issue. Notifications are quite instant, sometimes faster than the little red square that appears on Google sites.
You might want to check out your Google+ notification settings here: https://plus.google.com/settings/plus
and make sure it is set to push notifications at the top as well as making sure the appropriate check boxes are checked.
Mind seems to be pretty consistent.

Oh shoot.. I turned all of them off thinking they were some kind of sms notifications.I was so blinded that I don't even notice the word "push" there.
May be I should learn to read the user manual first. Thanks

Don't feel bad. They styled it to look just like the facebook notification settings page, which is where facebook sends you all sorts of emails/sms, so I was so used to going to that page and unchecking everything.
I've switched Roms a few times, so now when I try to play my google music it tells me 8 devices have been connected using my email. And it tell me to deactivated one. I'm the only one who uses it and it was working fine til this last flash. Any ideas how to fix that?

interesting. i hadn't heard of this issue before but a quick google search lead me to this thread which has a seemingly logical solution/directions: Music Beta by Google: A Must Read For All Root Users!. i haven't tested it personally but it seems very feasible.
to summarize the answer from the post linked above:
Just log into the desktop version of Music Beta by clicking here, go into settings, and then you'll see a place to manage your devices. Just remove the multiple device entries from the list, and then... presto!

i'll have to check my own account for this as i would imagine any android user who wipes their /data often when switching ROMs might run into this issue.
hope the solution I linked to helps!

I updated the app a couple nights ago and now it wont open and load anything, it hangs and then force closes everytime. I've uninstallled and reinstalled and it will allow me to login and it will work fine right up until I close the app and reopen it.
Any thoughts?
Had the same problem. I ended up reverting to the previous version with a backup.
Crashes for me too. I also went to a backup. Not sure what is that last version to work. My backup was from a month ago.
Mine too on CM7 Nightly 177 booting off an SD card. Hopefully they can get it fixed.
Have you fixed permissions? It runs fine for me,not a fan of it but it works.

Seems like the app is crashing when it tries to find your location using the (non-existant) GPS. Is there some way to inject a fake GPS position?
Install tetherGPS lite and start the client, it spoofs the app into thinking there is a GPS signal. Recent check ins load fine with this fix.

Why would you post this?
As of nightly 212, there is no built-in ability to fake GPS. This was never any mention of that ability on any changelog, and it certainly wasn't sneaked in or anything.
Facebook still attempts to access GPS and force-closes as of nightly 212 / October 6th (I'm guessing it is an incorrect or simply unhandled exception. Facebook for both Android and iOS are famous for having terrible programmers).
A fake GPS program is still required to use Facebook.
The Facebook app goes from bad to worse. Uninstalled.
Is there any other fix that doesn't require me to start the gps client every time before wanting to use facebook? What is the latest version of facebook I can get that will function fine without a silly work around? 1.6.?
