All,

Google Talk was working just fine on my phone until a week ago. Not sure what happened since then. Now, it keeps on attempting to connect but nothing happens. I get the message Reconnect in xx seconds. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no difference. If I try a wrong user id or password, it does give me the message "Username and password do not match".

I even installed MSN Messenger and that was able to connect just fine. Any ideas?

i'm having the same problem (on t-mobile in seattle), but it also affects the other IM programs for me. doesn't affect the browser or gmail application though, very strange. let me know if you found a solution.
thanks, jetpeach

Well, surprisingly it worked for a short period last week. Not sure what the problem could be. So, the problem is intermitten which means it will work for a short period in a week and then notr work rest of the time. Gurus, any guidance?

for me both yahoo messenger and google talk doesn't work for me.... any guidance would be really great....

you have a BB data plan?

nope i dont as there is no BB data plan avaliable in China... but i am using GPRS data plan and it is working perfectly well for all my other application

as google talk and yahoo messenger are developed by RIM, they wont work without a BB data plan.
you could try one of the 3rd party apps that allow for connecting to different messengers.

thanks for the info.... maybe i go for third party to save all the troublesome....

try to use the newest google talk version.

My BB is Bold9000, my wife's BB is Curve. She wants to use the Google Talk but then she can not login with the error on User Name & Password does not match. I have tried t use the Google talk two weeks ago but I can't due to the same errors. Two days ago I tried again after herd her complain. Guess what, I can successfully login to google talk without changing anything. However, I tried again yesterday but the mismatch problem happen again. Very annoying problem. Can any Gurus do something to permanently fix the problem?

Does your password have any special characters?
