Android 4.2 Gtalk Multiuser

Gtalk isn't working for me with multi user. Says that only the owner can use.
Anyone else having this come up? Hopefully Google releases a fix -.-

Same problem here, my girlfriend can't use Google Talk within her profile which is very disappointing since the rest of Android 4.2 is absolutely great.
Hope, a fix or workaround will be released soon.

No problem here. Do a factory reset that will resolve most of your issues. And restore apps without data.

Can anybody having the same issue confirm, that factory reset solves this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Same Problem..gtalk only works with device owner ..

same problem for me as well. I don't really want to do a factory reset just for this. I'm at work and without my tablet, so I can't test this, but does clearing data for google talk work as an alternative to factory resetting?

Same here. I think the error message is quite clear and easy to understand: the current google talk application is not compatible with multiuser environments. Update pending.

I would agree, but Omar04 claims he doesn't have issues, so it appears it is working for some people and not others, unless he is just mistaken.

I tried clear data, it didn't help.

I tried a factory reset. Didn't work. I hope they are fixing this.
I think they rushed 4.2 out, I expect 4.2.1 soon.

I'm hoping maybe this means Google talk will become an application that gets updates from the play store. I'd take a 4.2.1 release as well

I totally agree with the Google Talk becoming a Google Play app. This would be awesome.
On the other hand, it didn't work by factory resetting ?

It would be nice because it continues the trend of separating application updates and new functionality from OS updates. It theoretically shouldn't matter on Nexus devices, because they get updates as soon as they are available.
A good example of where it would be great to have it in the play store would be for devices with carrier controlled updates.
My mom has a Droid Incredible 2 on VZW that does have a front facing camera, but the version of google talk doesn't support video chats. As it currently stands, she has to wait for the ICS update (or JB etc) to come out before having any chance of this getting solved. If Google could put it in the Play Store it would alleviate this issue.
They have clearly gone this path with many (most?) of their other apps at this point, so I don't see why it wouldn't continue.
To try and stay on topic though, I don't care too much if the multi-user gtalk problem is solved by an app update or an OS update as long as it gets solved. The multi-user implementation seems really great to me so far, but no gtalk is kind of a dealbreaker.

Sorry, wrong quote. I meant - how factory reset could help?
I think too Gtalk's come back to Google Play could be a great idea.

Well, I too think it won't help, but I saw what Omar04 suggested. Unfortunately I believe we have to wait for a 4.2.1 release or a Google Play app release to remedy this problem.

Update:
For some weird reason out of this planet when I first update using the OTA posted and added a new user Gtalk was working properly on both accounts, but now that I factory reset using Google factory images vía adb fastboot now I'm on same boat as you, no working Gtalk on other users.
That's my first and only issue at the moment. I will continue testing for some issues posted in several threads. Not related to apps because those resolve when apps get updated as MX Player a few hours ago.
Not able to reproduce the lag yet adding users. (3)

Yesterday I reflashed Android 4.2 firmware from scratch (fastboot). Unfortunately the issue isn't solved. When I add another user, the new user isn't able to use Gtalk.
This is kind of frustrating. But right now, it's the only app, which really makes problems.

[Q] [REQ] Expandable volume bar

Someone knows an expandable volume bar mod for the nexus 6?

I get FC's when I use it. I had to reboot after trying the "paranoid android" theme. Does anyone else have this issue with the app? I'm running LS 12/23 build currently. I was going to test it before buying the pro version but I can't seem to get it to actually work even after enabling it on my accessibility menu.

Noyze doesn't work right for me either.
Wish L5.0 has this feature built in without going into the settings.

Interesting. I bought it too and it does not work for me. Stock 5.0.1 too. I can turn the volume down but once it's down I can't turn it back up unless I uninstall.
Plus I kinda like the priority all etc on the stock volume bar.
Would be awesome if one of the devs could make a flash-able or pushable expanded volume bar though that looks like the stock one, but just extend it out so it had all the volume sliders. Would donate for that for sure!

@kdoggy
I'm really not for sure what you are saying so I did a screen recording of what it the app does on my phone. Here is the link.

Noyze worked while I was on pure shamu, but not since I switched to bliss pop.

Great app noyze. I didn't know it. I bought the pro version. An essential app every lollipop user should buy.

Ive been using this app since i stopped using roms last year . its not updated to material yet but the dev said its coming https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bhanu.volumebutton . very simple app no Bull....

Was Noyze app pulled from the Play Store?
I bought it when it first came out, but can no longer find it.
Found AndroidPolice article on it with link and it's 404
EDIT: http://noyzeapp.com/
Noyze is no longer in active development.
For info about the developer, visit barrasso.me.
Noyze source code is available on GitHub.
Version 1.5.2 is available with all features unlocked at APK Shared.
Well **** that sucks. Dev took our money and ran off.

You can do what you're asking without the app: Settings --> Sound & notification will allow you to max the alarm volume and lower it for everything else.
As far as how to use Noyze, first make sure that you open the app and turn it on, as well as allow it in accessibility. This video can explain the app usage to you better: http://lifehacker.com/noyze-customizes-everything-about-your-androids-volume-1637604843

Videos of Keyboard Lag

I managed to upload some videos of the incredibly annoying typing lag I experience on my Note5. I've got the running process showing and you can see how weird the keypresses get at the end of each one.
Here they are:
https://youtu.be/eQ-HgtMmCFg
https://youtu.be/yW970htrhU8 (Note the touches keep going while all keypress popups and text entry stops.)
https://youtu.be/NRuLXa6m3mA
Does anyone else experience this?
Here http://i.imgur.com/6zcUZ17.png is a nice screen shot showing just how annoying the overlaping stuff can be.
Any help is appreciated.

I know it's annoying having an issue list this out of the box, but no one claims Samsung is good a developing software. I'd say go for a 3rd party keyboard. I'm using Google's and it's smooth as butter.

Wow. I'd say root and flash a ROM and kernel, but if you're having these issues while stock, who's to say you won't have other issues after rooting? Unfortunately I'm not sure what else to do. Sorry, man. I hope you get it worked out.

Hey First of~~ Mine is s6e+ I have heard that issue from s6e+ users too(with swype keyboard). I would suggest you to turn off keyboard Pop upping but that would be odd If you like it..(I like when it pops up)~

Same here. The only remark concerns the proximity sensor. The screen isn't turned off; the recent calls stay visible. My ear initiates a second call when a recent call is touched.

I installed the Google Dialer (Phone) app version 17.0.186697879 and the proximity sensor works, the issues I'm having are if I'm in an app and the call shows as a notification I can't answer or decline it, and after I make a call I have to wait a couple of minutes before the dialer will respond so I can make another call. The first issue is pretty frustrating if I'm tracking an incoming ride in the Uber or Lyft apps and the driver happens to call me, I miss the call.

Thx, I am still on version 12.x. because it is the latest blacked out version.
I will try a newer version when the next build of the Beltz rom becomes available.

@NLBeev: I'm inclined to believe the Team Blackout Apps have fallen by the wayside. The last Google-made app that was updated was Google+ (both 32- and 64-bit varieties) on December 11. The last complete package was 33.6, from July 19. Don't get me wrong. I like most of us appreciate the hard work TBO did in theming the apps and used their apps all the time, but with Substratum's ability to theme stock Google apps I believe TBO's work is no longer necessary. I switched and with both Spectrum and Domination themes my Google apps are as black as ever.
