Can you tell me if applying this patch fixes your problem please?
Whenever a user sends <presence type="subscribe"/> to a contact, it
will unblock it (if its blocked), and that contact will send you a
<presence type="subscribe"/> if the contact still has the user on their
list.
Hope that makes sense. Try it out :)
Wrt the typing notifications. They should work as soon as ordinary
messages can be exchanged.
Note that typing notifications are only exchanged after the first
message has been sent.
