Android phones, apps and tablets

Open Talk, so the list of contacts is showing. Click your name at the top. You can then choose your Status in the dropdown and set your comment text below it.

How do I open Talk?

The only way I can get to it is opening a browser and going to Selecting the talk tab
m.google.com

Even then you can't enter a status
Does it actualy work for you?

Select enter a custom message and it doesnt enter anything
Select one of your saved mesages it doesnt change.
Even if it did work it would be a fiddling job.

Fail google - fail hippy
