Hi,
I used to use google talk a fair bit on my Blackberry, it worked well.
I've switched to a G1 now and am trying to use the built in google talk client which you would think would be the dogs wotsits!
However if I leave the phone for an hour or so I seem to get signed out of Google Talk, making it impossible for people to message me until I notice and sign back in again.
I dont think it is to do with coverage, I'm using it on wi-fi in my house and also there is a good gprs signal. Besides when Gtalk on the blackberry lost connection it would keep trying and sign back in.
Anybody else seeing this?
Thanks
Mike
If you have a dataplan, try turning wifi off. The built-in IM client doesn't seem to auto-reconnect for some reason. If your wifi cuts out for whatever reason (some 2.4 Ghz cordless phones wreak havoc on wifi) then you will lose your GTalk connection.
Mine stays connected like a champ. Its actually the others that sign out all the time. But my gtalk stays connected through edge & wifi switches
Works perfectly on my g1, i have wifi turned off and always works!

Thanks for replys guys.
I'm starting to think it happens when my G1 switches from wi-fi to gprs/3g around the house.
Normally it uses wi-fi but there are spots in the house where it is weak, also gprs is not too hot, my guessing is it keeps 'hunting' between the two and this confuses gtalk client. Sound feasible?
Mike
That's probably the cause.
ur problem solved =)
i had same problem. lol. but i called att n upgraded 2 a new package of internet for the house. now its faster n i guess stronger. no cutoffs....and yes its ur wifi. wen ur screen locks, or timeout, the wifi is disabled. theres an app to keep it on but not worth the space. lol. or battery life id much rather tell you to just keep it as is. also, if u r not logged onto gtalk, wich happens...ur missed messages go to ur gmail account. so never miss a gtalk message. lol. i wish same was for aol and yahoo, and msn...i always miss messages

i've been using pdnet for 3g tether to my laptop but it's way too slow and disconnects on me every few minutes? anyone has a better suggestion? i tried wifi tether, it doesn't work with 3g internet
thanks
Wif tether works just fine for me its what I am using now .
Post in applications next time, and what do you mean it doesn't work? It works great with me. A bluetooth tether application is up and running too now.
i discovered, that it resets my connections (like jabber, etc) when the screen is off...

PDAnet? There's got to be a setting for that..or a way to keep the screen on.
i read that if you turn off the wifi on your laptop, the connection works better on pdanet.
i tried that, and ever since, i havent had any problems with it. the only problem is that now pdanet is now payware....
wifi tether doesnt work for me. i have a Rogers Dream rooted, installed wifi tether, and it just says "*(paraphrasing) unable to start tether"

Why the heck do you keep sending me Pm's when you have PMs locked out so I can't even fricking reply. I go to all the work to answer your question and then hit send only to get an error back saying Kevwo has Pm's Blocked.
" Admins" sorry for the rant, and OP, sorry for the thread hijack, its really hot and humid hear and this just took me from the edge of loosing my mind to jumping off the cliff and completely loosing it.
Well Kevwo, enough of your rant.
Here is the shortened version of what I typed up to reply to you.
I am not aware of any Apps to SD apps that work, I have installed several and nothing worked right. I guess we will have to wait till a real ROM can be flashed on the Dream, then we will have access to all the cool apps. Hell I can't even get WiFi tether to work and I needed it to work badly.

I am leaving on Friday to go Camping, I want to be able to get on line at the camp site, might even setup a live web cam feed for the site. (Its our Fiero Club Camping event)
lol sorry about that
i guess i should read the pop-ups
has anyone tried using an older version of wifi tether? instead of 1.51 i tried 0.97 and that seems tow ork
When using the Wireless Tether, Barnacle, and even the Verizon Tether/Easy Switch hack, the data connection just stops and turns itself off. Losing the 3G connection. Why is this happening? I can forget about trying to use a torrent program because that kills the 3G connection immediately. It seems to happen more when the battery is less than 70%. On my old TP2 the HTC Wifi router worked almost flawlessly. It also happens sometimes when using Pandora after a song is done the 3G is gone and I have to turn the screen on to get the connection back. Anyone know what's happening? Is Verizon limiting my data because I use more than average? Is there a way to mask it like the TP2?
Does it always turn off when your screen goes off?

Not always, but it has more of a chance when the screen is off. Like right now I'm keeping the screen on and it's struggling to keep the 3G on. I'm pretty sure it's not because of my power settings either.
I am a newbe but loss of 3g is a known bug they are supposed to be correcting. Don't know if this helps
THIS DRIVES ME NUTZ!!! glad its not only me.
Yeah. I don't even bother with wifi any more. Same exact problem as you guys. I just use easy tether. Hate having to plug in but at least I get a connection.

Okay, this is a long shot. I'm talking about me standing in California, firing a BB gun up in the air and hoping it hits you in New York kind of long shot, but the my sister (on a Samsung Vibrant - 2.1) kept losing her connection when on Barnacle Tether until she set her Wifi sleep policy to Never.
Again, a LOOONNNNNG shot but hell if you're desperate enough maybe it'd be worth it?
Ehh I think the BB missed me in Boston The problem happens the most when flooding the connection with data requests. If I am using the connection for light web surfing it's ok even with the screen off. For instance a torrent program being open, or having multiple tabs open on a browser. Why can a crappy WM phone keep up the workload but the all-powerful Android can't?
I have connected to my companies wifi network. I am part of IT, and know my settings work and are correct.
The symptoms:
Connect device to network. leave for day, come back next morning. wifi tries to connect, and eventually sets the remembered connection to disabled. Wifi then drains the battery like you wouldnt believe since it keeps scanning for a network.
I've tried WiFi Keep Alive from the Market, and still have the same issue. Removing the profile, rebooting, then readding works for a short time.
This only happens with my Atrix. iPhones, iPads, and blackberries work ok. My authentication settings are correct (PEAP, MSChapV2, username, and my password).
I'm in San Francisco, so AT&T's network is garbage, so wifi is needed for data in my office. I am on a microcell, which helps, but it doesnt really help much. I'm on a corp account, so I cant switch carriers.
Anyone have any known workarounds? This is my first android phone, and its really pissing me off. waiting weeks or months for 2.3 really isnt an option.
Thanks for any help. I'd like to stay on this phone for a while, but this may be a big enough issue to make me move back to an iPhone.
Experiencing the same issue here. Sounds like it's a bug in android 2.2.1. I have attempted 2 different things without any success. http://www.thexploit.com/sec/android-mytouch-4g-wpa-eap-connect-disconnect/ and http://androidforums.com/application-requests/25748-app-enterprise-802-1x-wifi-connectivity.html You may have more luck? Wish I could get it working myself!
All wireless are bad.
I often lose my wifi connection in my home. And often I even need to restart wifi.
The Bluetooth connection is bad with my car. I need to find the good position to have correct sound on the speakers.
My gprs data connection is often bad. And even if I have good phone connection.
I compare with my old HTC hd
I am really hesitating to send it back to my operator.
Sent from my LT15i using XDA App
I dont have any of these problems, its batter to get it back and take another one since its still under warranty.
Does anyone else have issues with low wireless signal and constant dropping wireless connections?
I have a friend here are work in the same area, he has an Iphone 4 and has no issues.
LT15a arc
To be honest I never had such issues.
no problem here either - only issue I've got is Green Power free doesn't always open up the wireless connections properly when I unlock the phone and I have to stop GPF to make it work.. but the phone itself is as good as my x10 was and better then my wifes HTC legend..
Yeah my wifi is rubbish. Disconnects each time i try to download something that is a little "big" from the marked or read web pages. It's annoying as hell but it seems like the next update from SE will have a new baseband. Hoping that will fix it else it's going back!
Yeah, hopefully the next update does fix this issue. It is more stable on my home network, but still drops out occasionally.
Yes, I just this Rogers phone today. I have the same problem or even worse. as soon as I open something that's a little big from any online apps or webpage, it disconnects wifi. but it still shows wifi connection on the top. Worse thing is, it seems to crash my router as well then disconnect my whole home network. I have been using my router for more than two years and it never had any problems. (I game and p2p a lot on my ps3 and pc). I have iphone4 wireless hooked up with my router as well and it works flawelessly when open up the same webpage which causes wifi disconnect on my arc.
I am thinking about returning this phone and get nexus s if they can't get it fixed soon....
I used to have problems with the WIFI untill I unlocked the bootloader and rooted it, now its perfect. But it depends if you decide to take the risk or not.
i had no problem with home wi-fi but come to broardband data simcard its terrible slow, assume telco matter but put that sim to OS6 device its run ok
The speed and connection of my arc is quite well.
The only problem of my arc is the time it takes until connection is established.
When i release the screenlock it sometimes takes up to 30 seconds until the WiFi symbol appears and the connection is established
download from market app wi-fi keep alive, it will solve your problems for sure, i had this issue too
wifi weaker than x1 (and to think that x1 wifi were pathetic), data on gprs/3g a lot better but it's Android thingy. most errors come from carrier in my experience.
Okay, so this might be like beating a dead horse, but yet I haven't gotten any responses for this issue. I use WiFi alot, and at work I really need it since my phone keeps switching between ATT & T-Mobile towers. Damn cell phone companies, 2011 and coverage still sucks! Anyhow I have to use WiFi alot at work and my phone keeps doing something stupid! It will connect to the wireless just fine, but keeping it connected is the issue! Stupid thing keeps dropping connection and then reconnecting. I don't know if it is because of the carrier switch or if my router is a piece of junk. My laptop seems fine on the wireless so I think that is fine. I am running [ROM][07/04/11] Virtuous Unity Sense 3.0 based on Pyramid [1.27.0] and everything seems fine on it! So maybe a setting in the phone, or I just have crap WiFi at work? I am literally sitting beside the dang router while this issue persists. I can even go into the Settings portion of the phone and watch the WiFi constantly say "Connected to NETGEAR_2" then "Scanning" then "Obtaining IP Address" over and over, WTF? Please someone, anyone, have issues with this on their MyTouch 4g before? My setup at work has two WNR2000v3 NetGear routers that are wireless bridge so the front computers can connect to the internet. I was connecting to the back router but the signal sucked so I switched and setup the front router to give me another signal. So my phone has full strenth on signal, but yet again it drops and picks up again and makes that notification sound when it does so. That sound maybe the phone roaming, I do have that feature on. But anyhow, any info would be great, just someone please give me an idea here!
Well, came to work this morning and tried to connect to the 2nd router with my laptop and lord behold, it messed up. So maybe its not my phone after all.
