#Adium gtalk Offline#

I notice that when I go offline on the session using Pidgin it does go offline for real this time.īUT after around 3 minutes (I timed it), I reappear online with a away status (even though the Pidgin session is still offline). I then go offline (I have a other gmail account so I can check the status on my main account) I connect to it using Pidgin, I made sure it’s the last one active. Unfortunately there is this one session I keep trying to kill that geenrate different IDs “MessagingAe19a09e8”, “MessagingAa2fe1604”,….

How to get rid of the new Hangout app and revert back to Talk on your Android Phone (for the good, that is!) ().

Thanks to Keith for this helpful suggestion. Try them one-by-one till you are able to set your status as invisible in gmail chat. If you are not getting the ‘oops…’ message, then you have done it! If you are sill getting it,then follow the above step with the other resource ids that you have seen (which you should have copied into the notepad/word file). Sign into gmail and try to set your status as invisible. Now, once you are in the main window of the application, set your status as ‘Offline’. This time in addition to your gmail user name and password, give the ‘resource id‘ in the ‘ Resource‘ section. Now, repeat the ‘ add account‘ process given in step 2. Click ‘ Manage Accounts‘ and then select your account and delete it.ħ. All these IDs indicate a specific device/client in which google talk is active.Ħ. Copy the whole content into a notepad/word file. Note the IDs given for the “ Resource” entry. See the pic below:Īs you can see, this account has currently got 3 active session running (including the one from pidgin).

Go ahead download pidgin, a third-party IM client and install it. The idea is to end those invisible session(s), but you have no idea where that session is, right?ĭon’t worry, there is a way to find that and it takes as much time as it will take you to download around 9Mb.ġ. This spooky session(s) might be from a talk app on your mobile phone, the Hangout app, stand-alone Gtalk software, IM clients such as eBuddy, Trillian, etc. But the main point is that there is another (or are many other) session(s) of your chat active at that particular time. Turns out that there are a number of reasons why your chat suddenly behaves this way. In short, this is the problem: You try to go invisible in chat from your gmail and it says: “Oops! You are not invisible because you’re logged into Google Talk from another client, device, or location that doesn’t support invisibility.” No matter what you do – from signing out of all the devices/clients/locations to resetting your google account password, you STILL see the ‘oops’!
