Google Talk

Ive tried researching this but I have came up empty handed. It appears once my screen is off google talk is logged out. How do I keep google talk always logged in?
Thanks for any help!

I really hope this isnt a wide spread thing. I use Google talk heavily. I cant afford for it to disconnect upon my screen timing out. I havent used it since I activated my phone to test though.
Maybe check under the power saver option in settings. There is an option to turn off background data when the screen turns off. Maybe that's it?

I will try that setting out and report back

Just uncheck auto away status and it will stop logging out.

Is anyone else having an issue where google talk won't load for them? I touch the icon and it looks like it loads for a second then flashes back to the app drawer. I tried clearing the application data, didn't help, and of course I can't uninstall/reinstall

Yup, I have to restart the phone to get it working. I also notice that Restart does NOT restart the phone for me. It powers it down.

I have both of those exact same problems. Hopefully, the next software update will fix these issues.

SMS/MMS Notification Sound Cut Off

Lately I've noticed my SMS/MMS Notification Sound gets cut off in the middle of playing.
I'm using the "Whistle" notification sound. It worked fine the first day I had my phone (today would be day 5 I've had it)
I've tried restarting the phone, choosing different tones, fixing permissions, clearing caches. So far nothing seems to be working
It looks like it gets cut off when the screen lights up from the notification.
Anyone else having this issue? And if so, have you found a fix (besides using a 3rd party messaging app like Go SMS). I have the Sprint variant, stock rooted (LF9)

Yeah I had the same problem
But it only happened when my wife would text me
I did the same fixes as u did thinking that would work, but it didn't so I erased that contact put it back in and now it works right
Good luck
Cheers

Wowwwwww you know what? It only happens to me when my girlfriend messages me lol. Wtf? That's so weird! Maybe it has something to do the most frequently messaged person? Gunna delete the contact and test.
Thanks!

It does this If you set a limit for incoming texts and have auto delete on. Erase all the messages when your at the limit and it will go back to normal again

Oh that makes sense. I had my auto delete set @ 120 SMS. So I'm guessing what happens is once the thread hits 120 and you get a new SMS the notification gets interrupted by the system deleting the last message in that thread to make it 120.
Well this is all very helpful. Problem solved. Thanks guys!

Another work around for this is to use zedge to assign your sound. For whatever reason, it bypasses the issue and the sound fully plays when a new message comes in.

screen stays on

Ok I have an issue that seems intermittent but is annoying and drains the battery. Sometimes after receiving a text the screen will stay on and not dim down, this would not be such an issue if the text was read straight away, but if I have not heard it or been busy this becomes an issue. The only way to then get the screen to work properly, is to reboot the phone. Anyone else had this issue, if so have you found a fix. The handset is a 3uk branded handset.
you have smart stay on?

If u enabled smart stay and your ceiling lighting is directed to your phone, it will stay awake. Its not a bug just that smart stay "thinks" that you are watching it

Nope smart stay is off it was on but knocked it off a week or so ago, and now this issue has started. The phone is not rooted
What's your screen timeout set as?
Like, if you're reading a web page how long would the screen stay on if you didn't touch it?
Settings - display - screen timeout
Why don't you clear cache for messages app and badgeprovider app from application manager. Maybe they're stuck in some way.

Both caches were clear
Do you have Samsung's DriveLink app installed? There was a problem with that that caused the screen to stay on.

Red box on my screen.

Can anybody tell me why I'm getting this red box on my screen at random times when I'm flipping thru my home screens or in programs. Finally was able to get pic while playing a video and constantly touching the screen. Running ViperRez 1.0.3

Try wiping cache and dalvik in recovery and see if that helps. That tends to clear up most corruption.
I thought I saw something about that in the Viper thread but searching the thread for "border" or "red box" didn't come up with it, but you might try some searching in that thread.
I used to get lines on my lockscreen as well if I hadn't rebooted my phone in a while, a reboot fixed it every time.

texting.problems

when i text someone, there response is above the messige i sent them. How do i fix this?
Are you using the pre-installed messaging app?
What version android are you on? I've never seen that before.
Also you might want to change your posted photo because it's showing someone's phone number.
Is your phone clock correct? If yours is a few minutes slow you will be under someone with correct network time.
Also you might want to block out your contacts number in the picture. I doubt they want random phone calls

I have the same error also. I ended up reflashing my rom. If you find a fix, let me know.
Its your clock. I have this issue sometimes lol. Set the clock to the right time.
