[Q] Google Talk + Firewall

---

Hey. I installed Avast! Mobile Security on my rooted Droid 4 and turned on the firewall. What applications do I need to allow internet access to in order for the Talk app to connect? I enabled access for the Talk app itself, but that doesn't seem to be doing it.

When I disable the firewall, the Talk app works again.

Thank you!

I seem to have found the issue. It's a known bug in Avast! On Android 2.3.x and on Samsung devices, not all of the apps are listed in Avast!'s firewall interface, and that prevents you from setting the necessary services to "allowed" in whitelist mode.

Sorry to bother you guys.
