gtalk/whatsapp/skype do not work on Jellybean 4.0.4

[rsj09]

Hi,

I'm facing a very peculiar problem.

I bought Xperia S 3 days ago and upgrded to Andriod 4.0.4 right away at the local Sony service center.

Now I can browse the Internet and access all the widgets like weather, browser, facebook, twitter, gmaps, latitude etc, however, messaging applications like gtalk/whatsapp/skype do not work. I can login to gtalk but everything is grayed out. In skype and whatsapp, I can't even login!!

I have rebooted the phone several times and have even uninstalled/reinstalled skype and whatsapp from google play but still cannot get them to work.

Any inputs would be appreciated before I go to the service center again.

Repair your phone's software using Sony update service then do a factory reset , it should help

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll certainly try it and let you know.

Thanks for posting and welcome to the forum!

Since you mention you've bought an "S3" I don't think your really in the correct forum. This is a forum for Sony Mobile / Sony Ericsson phones, and it sounds like you have one from another producer?

What do you think about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

Hi Petter,

It's an Xperia S, bought 3 days ago... :smileygrin:

I did try to repair using the sony update service and it looks promising so far. I'm able to login to gtalk and whatsapp!! Yay!! :smileygrin:

Having said that, I have'nt got time to really explore and see if everything else is working without a hitch. Would you recommend I also do a factory reset at this point?

If you want my opinion I would recommend to do a factory reset because it helped alot of ppl to solve their phones problems

Thanks to all for their suggestions.

I have got 99% of things working now. Only timescape does not work. It's not updating tweets and fb status, but I guess I can live with that!
