Can't create the authorization header

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
The problem occurs when the device starts a new chat session 1-1 or a new file 
transfer as originating.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I've described how the same error appears in the version 2.5.7 in the issue 139:

Also I've proposed a solution as well.
