So i'm using a T-mo and verizon sims because verizon is awesome except in my office bldg, where they bought a repeater for tmobile.
The issue is, every time i switch sims, google, office, and samsung (for smartthings) sign me out. it's really anoying and google makes it a pain to fix it, sometimes it's imediately bothering me to fix it, sometimes i have to go trough all my google apps (none of them working) until one decides to be kind enough to let me sign back in.
Does anyone know how to stop this from happening?

I have a annoying problem with the inbuilt Google Talk app on my Desire.
When I turn the screen off Google Talk disconnects from the server and I don't receive any new messages until I turn the screen back on. Google Talk displays a message saying "Lost connection to server. Messages will be sent when online".
I have "always-on mobile data" active in my network settings. Have tried to disable the automatic away status and even resetting the phone to no avail. I have also created a new Google account and that hasn't helped either.
I use my phone on the Aussie 3 network. Can anyone else with Desire on the Aussie 3 network tell me whether or not theirs is doing the same? Also my Desire is the Aussie Telstra branded one.
Just to note the only way I can use Google Talk properly is if I use eBuddy. eBuddy does not disconnect when the screen is off.
Hi danielhtc,
How did you go with solving this problem?
I too have a HTC Desire and use the 3 network in Brisbane. All was working fine with Google Talk up to a few weeks ago when I started noticing that I would just loose connection. Not sure if the problem started immediately after the Froyo update, I wish I paid more attention now.
Using the GTalk Service App from the market I see that I'm loosing connection all the time. At first it appeared to be random, and know it is almost everytime the phone screen locks.
I spent hours trawling the net and still have no answer. I have flushed the cached data for Talk, Factory reset the phone and even tried a new Gmail account with a factory reset of the phone, all to no avail.
I've talked with 3 and they calim they can't do anything to help me figure out what is going on as it not a 3 Australia supplied handset so no guarantees etc..
Strange thing is that it was working fine for months, and then all at a sudden problems... At the moment my money is that 3 has done something to their data network, however it still could be an issue with the phone. Unfortunately until I can try my account with a new Desire I wont know for certain.

Quick question,
I have had my phone rooted for several months now. Ever since I rooted though, I always got the "Verizon wireless can not authenticate your phone" message when roaming. This has not been a big deal until now.
I have already spent a lot of time with sprint support on the phone and at the store, and they actually are just giving me a new phone, so the problem is solved.
MY actual question is, are people still having this issue happen when they root their newer phones? I ask because I would like to root my new phone, but not sure if I want to chance it messing up my roaming again.
Yea, it happens, but you don't need a new phone as the fix is really easy.
Call Sprint support and have them reset your profile on their server. They will put you on hold for a minute while they do that. Then they will have you remove your battery for one minute (the tech gal I had actually timed it and told me when to put the battery back in). Then you will be good to go.
Note-I don't know why this is, but it took me about 15 minutes talking to convince the tech support gal to do it, but once she did it roaming works fine again.
You can download the "Roam Control" app from the market, which allows you to force roaming to check if it works, paid app, but it is cheap. I just told the tech support girl that their was a spot in my house behind a metal shed that I get roaming when I checked it (important because she wasn't willing to do anything unless I was currently in a roaming area, and I didn't think it was prudent to tell here I was using Roam control).
Well, they gave me a new MSID witch did not fix the issue. After about another 45 minutes of trying things, she transfered me to account services and they said that they would just replace the phone.
I do not roam very often at all, so I said okay.
I saved my nandroid backups and everything for if I re-root. I just wasnt sure if this was an issue people were still getting with their new phones or not.
The following scenario has happened exactly four times by now:
I use two SIM cards, one in Estonia and another in Finland. I visit Finland every weekend or every other weekend, depending on scheduling. When I visit Finland then I use pre-paid SIM card that I load with credit in order to use unlimited mobile internet the same way I use at home.
When I visit Finland I swap by Estonian SIM card to Finnish one and when I return I swap it back.
Problem is that exactly after six SIM card swaps, Google Cloud to Device Messaging service stops working and Galaxy Nexus blue connection bars stay permanently gray. This means that push notifications will not work and gTalk cannot connect at all. Other Google services - including Market/Play - work well if they can function without C2DM.
After such an event I have to restore my device to factory settings each and every time. After I do this, the device starts working again. So far I have not found a way to get C2DMA working without having to factory reset my device. The device has no developer or other rogue apps installed that might affect this in any way.
Clearing data of Android Messaging Service and other background Android services has not helped. Rebooting has not helped. Changing from data to WiFi, or to Airplane mode and back, has not worked.
My best guess is that this is some security or whatnot validation in Android code. Before Android 4.0, whenever you changed your SIM card (which I did just as frequently on my HTC Desire), it asked for your Google Account password, after which C2DM worked.
But ever since Android 4.0, your password is not asked and the C2DM stops working after exactly six SIM swaps. I know that it is exactly after SIM swaps by checking my schedule and gTalk chat logs, where I have made notes of this.
I have reported this bug and looked for a solution for this before, but have not gotten an answer. Has anyone run into such an issue or knows what I could try to restore C2DM connection without having to reset my device again? I know that the problem is very custom and thus most users never face this issue, since swapping SIM cards this often is rare.
Wow, this is insane. I actually worked it out! I had reset my phone THREE TIMES in the past handful months because of this!
Apparently what happens that there's a bug in Android that switches SIM card setting after multiple SIM card swaps. Android stores SIM card related settings internally somewhere, but apparently has a bug in restoring those settings after certain amount of SIM swaps.
I went to Mobile Networks menu and from there to Access Point Names and for some reason Android had switched to WAP service instead of the mobile internet one. This is a setting I had never changed and it's happened four times by now.
If you run into the same problem or your C2DM suddenly appears, then you should look at those settings first and foremost.
Recently purchased a new, unlocked S8+ and got a new SIM from Verizon. This was approximately 2 weeks ago. Zero problems up until this week. I have been on 4 flights this week - before each flight, the phone works great. When I land on the other end, Verizon LTE pops right up, varying numbers of bars as one would expect depending on arrival airport, just like it would normally when I have service and can do everything. However, nothing. No texts, no calling, no data. Tried toggling various things, resetting, nothing for a hour after that, all the while I've got 3-4-5 bars and I can see the data arrows lighting up like there is upload/download transfer.
Finally, I tried "reset network settings" as a last resort and immediately my phone works like a charm. It has happened another 3 times since - every time I have flown, with the exact same results.
All domestic flights. While I'm not a guru, I'm not a complete halfwit either - this is my 4th galaxy and it's definitely not something I'm doing or have ever had problems with before. I fly all the time and never a problem like this until this week. Checked APN, it's right. Checked software update - have most recent.
Any ideas? I'm desperate. Have searched literally everything I can think of and no one else seems to be reporting this problem, not to mention it's difficult to describe in a Google search. About at my wit's end having to re-enter wifi and passwords every day, relearn Bluetooth devices. Theres no other way to truly reset the mobile data settings and get my phone to work that I've discovered. Please, please help.
Eject SD card and remove sim, wait a min, reinsert cards. While the phone is on. Should reset just ur sim settings. Maybe
Hi,
Recently I went on holidays to a country which is in my roaming travel zone, basically it means that I pay small amount of money for every day I either connect to internet or have a call. I didn't want to use it, the fee may be small, but it was 2 weeks and 2 phones (both identical p6p). I turned off roaming option. nothing, then I turned off mobile data, checked again, still nothing. we were told by the helpdesk consultant that something is connecting with internet anyway, they can see it, they just cannot say what is it because of privacy reasons they do not know.
what was on - location for sure, every time we got money from the atm we got notified, once someone wanted to call me and I rejected the call, we also got 3 notification about spam calls moved directly to a spam folder. I cannot think of anything else.
can you help me? I have no idea what happened there, I never downloaded anything, we both think of us as rather cautious people so even though I cannot exclude the virus, it would be rather something else
