[IDEA] WiFi Calling - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know on T-Mobile, some devices can make calls via WiFi. (mostly blackberries)
I wonder if this option could be ported somehow into a rom for our lovely Nexus Ones.

Man !!!! This is a GREAT Idea !!!! Let's Try ????

you are referring to UMA and afaik, the nexus one doesn't have the hardware to support it. neither did the G1. i was surprised to learn that it was a hardware requirement though, but that's what someone told me back in the G1 days

sorry to inforn you but it is software realated just tmobile hasnt released the tunnel for android yet

just download Sipdroid or 3cx from the Market and set up a free SIP account. Fairly simple and configurable to dial out with the SIP account on any combo of wifi or 3g.
I have my Google Voice number set up as a SIP account through Gizmo and Sipgate and host the SIP accounts on SIPsorcery.com because they run a script that allows you to dial out using your GV number. Google it.

Sipdroid + GV + Skype Lite = Skype voip?

Here is a question (let me know if this is a re-post):
There is a way to make free calls in the US using Sipdroid full, Gizmo5 and GV (if you have a google voice account) per this guide:
http://iiordanov.blogspot.com/2009/07/sipdroid-gv-guava.html
This works great when I use GV to call any U.S. number. I decided to try to add Skype Lite to the mix. I set up GV to control any outgoing call in hope that the call that Skype out calls will be intercepted by GV and then routed through Gizmo5 to Sipdroid. I used Skype lite to call my home number (I have Skypeout unlimited world) and even though I got the call back through Sipdroid and heard the ringing tune in my G1, My home phone never rang.
What did I do wrong?
Any change this can work?
Why would you want to use skype? Its just a proprietary mess. You can simply use sipdroid straight up with any generic sip account.

I am using Skype for several years at home. I have unlimited world account for international calls, I have phone adapters at home that work with Skype and an impatient wife that would kill me if I introduce another solutions. All my friends using Skype to communicate. I don't want to have duplicate services or change my life.

Thats too bad. Skype, being proprietary, does not and will not ever dominate the voip market -- you're going to have to ditch it eventually. It's easier to do it now rather than wait until you have no choice.

Talkonaut - New Voice over IP Client

Hi there,
anyone tested "Talkonaut" yet?
It's a VOIP Client which allows you to call your googletalk contacts via voip.
Besides that, you can integrate your existing sip accounts and make voip calls just like in sipdroid.
Just discovered it in the market and made a few tests.
I called a friend over googletalk and he can hear me clearly but unfortunately I can't hear him.
I don't know if it's the program or a wrong setting. I'm able to call the same friend with the windows gtalk client without any problems.
Then, I tried to connect to my gizmo5 account, it kinda works sometimes but very choppy. Sipdroid is better suited for this purpose.
It still seems to be in development, perhaps it gets better in the future
What would be awesome, is if there was a way to use my Google voice account with my g1 but using data and not voice hehe.

gingerbread 2.3.x on tab and the native SIP client (VoIP)

Has anyone been successful in setting up the native SIP client on a tab running gingerbread??
I am looking for someones experiences with this native VoIP client and also can you tell me what SIP Service Provider you used?
This link describes how to configure the Android native SIP client on gingerbread devices. Perhaps someone would be kind enough to explore these settings and post your results.
http://www.voipvoip.com/android/sip.html
UPDATE: I just learned that the 'settings' menu for internet calls does not appear by default in gingerbread. Its been disabled on our SGTs. To enable you must copy a file to system/etc/permissions. Can someone here shed some light on this? Is this only true for the stock Gingerbread thru Kies download? thanks.

I use Overcome ROM RC1 with enabled VoIP in Settings->Internet calls.
My provider is iptel.org.
I have an issue with incoming calls over SIP. I can't answer. I think the problem is in original dialer by samsung.
I'm using the Overcome ROM RC2 where the SIP option is enabled.
It works well, although the lack of keypad during a call makes it hard when you run into an automated phone service and you can't enter any dtmf tones. I would guess this is related to the problem cromed has when trying to answer a call. (I haven't received a call so can't answer first hand)
My only other grumble would be the low call volume, but this is also the case when using fring or sipdroid.
Audio quality though, is great.
Hmm. Has anyone tried one of the SIP clients on the market on their tab? Such as 'sipdroid' or CsipSimple ? Can you post your experiences here please? thanks

I have used both Sipdroid and CsipSimple. Sipdroid is pretty basic but works as described. CsipSimple ate up my battery, and Sipdroid did until I switched to a PBXES account (uses TCP instead of UDP). PBXES is a pain to setup, but once you finally figure out how it works its fine. Used it to take my DX overseas a couple times with WiFi only (used a MiFi through XCOM Global), and have perfect voice. Need to use the Speex codec for 3G connections or else you get jitter or big delays; I use it for all connections though.
Just got the GB update on the DX and sad to see no native SIP client.
I now have a Polycom connected to PBXES for my home phone. Both are trunked through Sipgate.

Well, I just upgrade SGT-P1000N to stock Gingerbread 2.3.3, and VoIP does not come enabled. Found the permission file at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016583
UPDATE: Yep, it works. Just tested it. Works with Bluetooth headphones, yay!
It may prove my naivete to even suggest this, but I have wondered if it might be possible to sign in to a Skype account with this native dialer. Fields are limited to username, password and server. So it's that server address that eludes me.

Nope, Skype uses proprietary protocol, not SIP.
Sent from my SGT-P1000N - XDA App - Gingerbread!
I'm having the same issues as mentioned above on Overcome Gold. No way to pick up an incoming call. Outgoing call is fine but no keypad if needed.
Quality is very good.
Have tried Sipdroid, Csimple,...and other...but my prefered has been Linphone. Excellent quality.
But now I'm using GrooveIp. Work well with Google voice and allows you to make free phone call coming and outgoing.
It's a paid app..but cost $2.00 on Amazon...$4 on Google Market. YOu may have to adjust some settings to fine tune it...I had to do that.

Gingerbread native SIP over 3g

I'd like to use the gingerbread native SIP client over 3g. Anyone know of a hack?
Thunderbolt GB
I'm currently using Csipsimple, Sipgate, Gv Callback and Google Voice. It's a real good setup, but I'd like to try the native Google SIP.
Hold on. I set up my sipgate account on the internet calling section. So what you are saying is that won't work over lte or CDMA and would need WiFi?

Kahnam,
I can't make or recieve a 3g call on the Gingerbread SIP client.
Can u?

Theres a thread in the modaco android forums about this that seems to have solved the issue, but it needs to be baked into a ROM..
(sorry I'd post the link but this is my first post and I am not allowed... im sure someone'll find it.)
I'm using the LeeDroid_HD_V3.3.3_GB-R5 rom on my Desire, running Gingerbread 2.3.3. I've set up the native sip to my voip provider account (where I have credit to make calls to pstn/gsm).
With this setup, I can make & receive calls from both Wifi and 3G.
I don't know if switching from Wifi to 3G while on a call would work flawlessly though.
I made a small manual on how to accomplish this on probably all GB roms including sense and miui:

Sprint Visual Voicemail on ICS

I have heard that sprint visual voicemail works on the nexus on ics can anyone help
I have got the vtt-sprint.apk installed it and updated prl and prolfile on wifi and 3g/4g and still cant get the activation message to go through.
VVM on Sprint Network
I hate to be the bearer of bad news. First, VVM does work, but in order to get it to work you must completely switch to Google Voice. To do this, from any computer that you are logged into with your google account, visit google.com/voice and completely set that up. It will ask you to pick a new telephone number and it will walk you through setting up the voicemail box and all that.
Once you have all that set up it will allow you to forward calls to your cell. I recommend this rather than switching completely to Google Voice.
You can further, once you've completed this, from within your Sprint Account, choose to use strictly Google Voice but this will mean you will either forfeit the new number you just chose, or the one you have on your phone.
If you choose to keep your original number that was on th ephone first, it will migrate to your Google Voice box and your call forwarding will become a hardwired thing... Google will no longer forward calls to another number, but rather all calls to your cell number will forward to your device through hardware routing performed solely at the discretion of Google.
Sprint will, in a sense, no longer have any control over your call routing. It really makes for a total disaster to get problems resolved if you ever experience call routing issues.
In my opinion, this is an awful lot to go through, too large of a chance for errors and a royal pain in the neck to go through just for visual voicemail.
I have the closest thing possible set up... I use the number I assigned to my Google Voice box, and I set up forwarding to my phone(it's nice because I can also answer calls from my computer if I want, and if I ever change carriers I keep the number on my Google Voice box and simply set it back up to forward to another cell phone number on another carrier).
If someone calls my google voice number, it automatically forwards to my cell. If I do not answer, it reverts back to my Google Voice box voicemail and if the caller leaves a message it records it for me, transcribes it and both text's it to me and leaves a copy of the transcript in my gmail box for me for later review. It also attaches the recording to the email. Very nice feature.
So, now, I only hand out my Google Voice number and nobody ever knows my actual cell phone number. Very private if you ask me, that, and if I ever terminate my service with my cell carrier, I still have the number I give to every one and can answer it from my Gmail box. No cell phone required. I never miss calls...
There are other options with Google Voice I did not discuss here, but you will figure that out. Message me if you have any other questions. Also click thanks on my post to help me become an active member if you think this helps.

I have had google voice before but i wanted to get the native sprint app working. I have hear that sprint routes the nexus voicemail to a different server so it was never meant to work. but i have heard ppl having it work on GB but i just moved over to ICS and was attempting to get it to work but I can't get the activation message to send
Can you send me the apk so I can have a try at it?

Voicemail Routing
Working for AT&T, I do know that voicemail routing is going to be your only issue. If a customer has Visual Voicemail, the feature needs to be provisioned as such and, yes, the voicemail repository server is located in a different place on different hardware. Provisioning VVM at AT&T also required that the data feature be provisioned differently. There is data for smart phones with and without vvm attached.
So, if you do not have the visual voicemail feature provisioned on your account with sprint that is the reason you are unable to successfully configure the app. The basic voicemail servers can not handle the VVM. In most cases VVM is free for smart phones, but with sprint, I doubt that to be the case.
I am satisfied with the Google Voice operation and the added layers of security it provides.
heh...clean simple and no hassles -> Go to Market and type in YouMail, download and install, follow prompts through the simple and easy setup, enjoy your new VVM
NS4G: NexusMV 4G 03.01 (Baked in Matr1x) + 1460MHz/1460MHz SmartassV2 & CWM Touch Recovery
I'm gonna call sprint to have them provision my account and try to activate vvm
Spoke with sprint they setup everything on their side and verified it and my activation message still won't go thru I I might be the apk. I tried the gb apk but it fc when I try to send
They are saying its a phone based routing problem (blaming ICS) because it works in gb and they cite a flaw in the ICS VVM API
Its a sad song
Here you go guys, enjoy.

Google Voice Visual Voicemail Integrated Into Stock Dialer
