Presence: Unavailable / Google XMPP problems after update to 2.1.1.26
asked 2017-08-31 15:04:10 +0300
I've encountered a weird problem on my Intex-Aquafish-turned-into-Jolla-C after updating to 2.1.1.26 - the ability to use Google chat from added accounts is gone. It displays Unavailable next to the Settings | Presence option, and opening it yields:
No accounts available with presence functionality You can add or modify accounts in Settings | Accounts
I can't remember if there was an option to 'enable' chat in the settings of Google Account pages before, but there is no such option after the update. I haven't changed any of my accounts and the chat worked perfectly fine before the update for a couple of my Google accounts.
I've also tried disabling/enabling the Google accounts, updating sign-in credentials, removing/re-adding the accounts with no luck. In addition, if I go to Messages all the conversations that I've partially had via Google now show 'Unknown' for a type and don't even let me switch back to SMS.
If it makes any difference, I couldn't update the 'regular' way (probably because of all the packages I've removed manually to get rid of the bloatware coming with Aquafish) so I updated via the good ol' ssu release 2.1.1.26 && version --dup.
Any ideas?
You already received the answer that Google XMPP support has been removed in SFOS 2.1.1.x and it is also a duplicate of https://together.jolla.com/question/166394/211-presence-menu-possible-to-get-gtalkhangouts/

I had some trouble with two-factor authentication though (you have to setup an application-specific password from the google settings, which can take some time to find).
