I´ve been having the same issue with my Archos 101 IT G8, it´s pretty hard to find some good apps on this one lately because it is so old lol...I tried that solution however, seems like my Google Talk app won´t even let me to sign in and if i want to reinstall it, i cannot find it among my applications to uninstall so I would love to know whether there is solution of my problem.
Thanks in advance
Ok, you probably missed that the list of apps in the apps manager is not alphabetical and that Google Talk is just called Talk. Annoying, isn't it?
That said, I am no further than you.
I have Android version 2.2 (I think this is something everybody including author of this thread should start their statements about) and I can use google play, gmail, calendar and contacts sync.
The only problem is that the only way I can turn the annoying loud as if SMS arrived (this actually makes me think if a notification sound for this particular event could be edited) sound happens every 5-10 minutes unless I disable the automatic sync.
The above advice obviously does not work for me. Otherwise I would not have written so much her.
What is further annoying that if I want to use Google mail and calendar on my temporary phone (waiting for the S7 to arrive after I dipped my S5 Note into Atlantic ocean), I have to enable the sync and listen to bloody pain in the **** Googgle ******* notifications *** **** **.
So blocking, uninstalling, disabling Talk (Google Talks) or even all Markets including Google Play does not stop notifications.
Please bring author of this thread into studio to chop his head off.
Because if he/she at least mentioned their Android version there was something to start off.
Otherwise there is not.
