I think Google no longer cares about XMPP or its federation especially since XMPP is not really build for mobile use. So I don't think they will fix this. There is the Hangouts help forum where there is already a thread about it though but I wouldn't hope for a fix. If you want to use XMPP you need another provider or your contacts need another one. https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/hangouts/itHlShnUtsA https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/hangouts/itHl...

I'm not sure if that thread is the right place, that's why I'm asking. May be someone has contacts with Google XMPP team and can deliver this bug to them. They probably don't read these groups. I agree, that Google doesn't care about XMPP. Not because it's not suitable for mobile needs - it can be made suitable. Google could work on needed XEPs. Google just became selfish and turned their back to the whole open IM movement. It was a complete reversal, since Google advocated strongly for it before. Explanation from Eric Schmidt was really weird - something like "since others didn't join, we quit".
