Gtalksms silently loses connection

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

I've got a very unstable 3G connection, which often cuts off and goes back on. 
When that happens, gtalksms loses the connection - it displays as offline in my 
IM client, doesn't send any new SMS. However, gtalksms doesn't notice anything 
- everything is still green, and the log is blank. Any way this could be 
improved? A timeout? Listening for deconnection events if they are broadcast? 
Checking the connection is OK whenever a new SMS is received? This bug makes 
gtalksms unusable with my current connection.

Hi,
2.3.4
Nexus One
France
FreeMobile (it was mostly fine with orange, I just changed provider)
Bitlbee as xmpp client, but that shouldn't matter.

The app log is empty, except for some update presence:

I've got the same issue with FreeMobile, probably due to the roaming...
This issue is still under investigation.

You will not have this issue on Wifi.
Please open a ticket at freemobile because I suspect that they stop connexion 
after few minutes on roaming.

I use this in Paris, where, as far as I can tell, there is no roaming (only 
freemobile antennas). I tried the "only use 2g connections" option, it didn't 
change anything, same problems. Can you open a ticket at freemobile, linking to 
this thread? I believe it would have more weight coming from an app developer. 
I'd be strange if they closed connections, since they built their reputation as 
a "neutral" provider that doesn't mess with connections.

I'm in Paris too. I think that is more related to Android but it's still due to 
the roaming settings. I far I can say when roaming is on, the phone will try to 
connect very often to a new network then it cuts connexions and drains battery.
