I recently updated from google-talk to google-hangout. In Hangouts there is no way to set the availability status (available, idle etc.), but my friends (that are still using Google Talk) claim that Im always idle, even if Im sure Im active in Hangouts. Is there a way to set in Hangouts how I should be seen for Google Talk users? 
Google Talk shows idle symbol (orange circle) all the time
google talk;google hangouts
