[Q] Using N1 only on Mobile WiFi, do I need Sipdroid? - Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have been using my N1 with a Cradlepoint PHS300, Clear 4G USB Modem, backup external battery, and Sipdroid configured to use my Google Voice and pbexs.org as my phone for a while now.
However, I am wondering if with the latest changes in GB and Google Voice if I still need Sipdroid? Is it now possible to set this up using the Call Settings>Internet Call Settings>Accounts to setup GV as a full SIP account and not run the other software? If so, what are the settings I would need for the account (Username and Password should be my GV ones I imagine), particularly for the server, etc.
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, Google Voice does not support calling by itself without using another calling plan yet, whether it be through a cell provider or a sip account.

IOW, I should probably move up to a paid PBXes account then, eh?

VOIP in android

i tried to use chit chat the application was good and the voice was clear. but i found that its pre configured with a specific service called "weepee", i went to their website its in non english language. aslo i found a directory called chit chat in my sdcard contains a file called "profile" i edited this file to my asterisk server username and password using sip protocol it didnt work then i tried AIX protocol it works. so guys you can use AIX through this program just go and edit /sdcard/chit chat/profile put the server, username and password and here we go.
i really need voip, thanks for info
can you tell more about your discovery? (for noobs) i couldnt find any application called chit chat
i currently use google voice for int'l calls, any way to call for even cheaper?
Best VoIP client for Android is a little app called sipdroid. Get it from the dev's website as the one in the market does not allow calls in 3G or edge. It was one of the first apps i got and i've never paid for a call again. You have to create an account with Pbxes and configure there (read their tutorial) but once is set up is the most incredible app ever! like i said, haven't paid for a call in months!
hey, thanks for an answer
afaik sipdroid and pbxes isnt enough to place an int'l PSTN call, you have to have a sip provider e.g. Gizmo5, but gizmo's rates are higher than on GV, so not interesting
any other reliable sip provider? i tried voipuser but they want a non-free email address - what is that i have no idea. im not giving them my work email
I use Guava, pretty cool with googlevoice and a gizmo accounts work good. Sometimes there is a problem but most of the time it works.
Guava isnt on the market but can be downloaded at http://gizmo5.com/guava and trandferred to the sdcard.
@hihik as StreetGuru said Sipdroid is optimized to work with pcxes as I imagine same people took the lead in writing sipdroid.
Dont worry about giving them your email as they dont or very rarely send anything out. Why work email? How about your ISP email?
Anyway has anybody tried Crolix Communicator from market. It supposed to work with GTalk for voip calling gmail contacts.
I am waiting for Nimbuzz to inpliment voip but I assume they are having difficuly in codecs department.
Well, Google hasnt given us voice call feature in Google Talk application, I wonder why!
I have never understood why people have such a hard time coming up with email addresses. Get a dyndns address, register it to your public IP address, and put an email server on your home computer. Done. Unlimited email addresses with unlimited (aside from your hard disk space) storage.
Here is the configuration with sipdroid www.ippi.fr for opening an account (free with geographic number in 01.02.03.04 ou05 depending on where you live) test on android magic 32b and it works as well as in 3G wireless, to test my SIP number is 05 81 31 42 75, and my laptop that sounds (ca surprises people! ") think of you for sponsoring the opening of the account by putting in the box Rouhaud parrainnage. thank you in advance Here are the parameters to put in sipdroid Download link: http://sipdroid.org/ Go to the Android Market and are looking Sipdroid. Install accepting the warning. Sipdroid Start / Menu / Settings SIP Account Settings: Username: Password IPPI username: password IPPI Server: ippi.fr Port: 5060 Options: Use WLAN: Use 3G/EDGE check: check if your operator authorizes and s 'report thereon Preferred Call Type: SIP when available Advanced Options: - PBXes Features: - A green icon in the top bar will inform you that Sipdroid is connected to the network IPPI.
Sipdroid not working for Pennytel
I follow similarly for pennytel account (sip.pennytel.com)
I got the green icon but when I tried to call to the pennytel account, it says the user is not available.
It is a working account when used with Nokia E71 SIP setting.
Not sure what breaks.
Check out post #77 here! They might be bringing out Fring for Android this year

@priyana,
Sipdroid is developped by PBXES.org and is fully optimized to work with pbxes. So creat a free account there and configure pennytel account within pbxes. You can have upto five sip registration with a free account.
There might be a beta of Fring for Android in a few weeks! Check out post #77 here:

I have exactly the same problem as yours. PennyTel works on my wife's E71, but not on my HTC Magic.
I would really appreciate any helps.

For step by step using pbxes.org, maybe you can follow this page:
http://seethisnowreadthis.com/2009/...-with-any-sip-provider-on-your-android-phone/
I think it should work with pennytel, but I have not tried.
Not too comfy putting my user credentials in pbxes.org.
What do you guys think? Is it really 100% safe?
100% safe? I should think so. But this question is not appropriate here as there may be just a handful sip users here. You should visit forums of voxalot , sipuser etc where you will meet nearly 100% sip/voip users.
PBXes is good and running like any other business?
If you are a free user than questions like are they trustworty or not seem hyprocritical. Buy their paid service ans see how good they are when it comes to receiving help and support.
Finally I figured it out how to call out through PBXes from my HTC Magic.
Thank you.

Lowest power method to use Google Voice SMS?

So far as I can tell in my 2 weeks of owning a G1, the data sync is the biggest power hog.
So I've disabled contact/calendar/mail sync, and check my mail via browser, only when I want to (I'm usually near a full computer anyway).
But, for on-the-go I wanted to use the SMS service from Google Voice and NOT have it forward to my normal (Tmobile SMS), so that I don't have to pay the extra $10/month for SMS.
But I believe that means I need to either poll my Gmail for the SMS messages there (they get forwarded to gmail), or, enable some sort of data sync.
Was looking for suggestions, guessing folks smarter than I have got this figured out.
again, here are the goals:
- Do not use actual Tmobile SMS (just Google Voice SMS, NOT forwarded to TMo SMS)
- minimize power drain (assumed to come from data sync)
thanks for any suggestions!
Mike
goto google.com/voice and goto settings under "Phones" there should be a option to disable forwarding to the phones you have registered to that GV account (aka tmo number)

yep.. got that.. just trying to understand the ways the mail version of the SMS can get to me... so far, I'm thinking the "push" (IMAP IDLE) is generally better for the battery vs polling an IMAP server? (still learning my way around)
thanks,

Make your phone into a free VoiP cell phone ***Must have a rooted phone***

Hello community. So I was bored this morning so I actually figured out one way to make your cell phone (with a data plan / wifi) into a free VoiP phone.
So I am from London, ON. In order to get a valid us gmail account I used
DroidVPN -goo.gl/Nsg6C (free to sign up)
This program is not only free, it is a working (in beta testing) vpn service for the Android platform. With the vpn putting out a US IP address you are now able to get a US gmail account.
Now you will need to get a textPlus Free Text + Calls account
textPlus - goo.gl/eGtJf (free to sign up)
Getting a textPlus account gives you a valid US number to use for free texting, also this number can be used to activate the Voice part to your new US gmail account - google.com/voice (free to sign up)
Now you will need to pick up GrooVe IP(paid version. Gives you access on data and wifi) / GrooVe IP Lite (free version. Can only use on a wifi connection)
GrooVe IP - goo.gl/BSF0E (no signup required as you will use your Google Voice account info to log into GrooVe)
So, order in which to do these things are as follows:
1. Get a text plus account
2. Get a US gmail account with g-voice, using the textPlus number
3. Log into your g-voice account using GrooVe IP
4. Start calling
I have added 4 screen shots.
The first one is just showing that I'm connected to DroidVPN
The second one is showing my Google Voice account on my cell
The third one is showing the dial pad in GrooVe IP
The forth one is just one of the windows on my phone showing the 3 apps
Its pretty straight forward I think. If you have any problems remember you need root access to do this (if your from Canada like myself).
I hope its works for everyone and please let me know what you think. This is my first post.
This has been achieved using:
HTC Desire HD on Telus running Android Revolution 7.0.3 by mike1986
Baseband version 26.14.04.28_M

Il be surre to give this a try
Also, Pics aren't showing for me

[Q] Contacts app with sip address support

I am using CSipSimple with Android integration turned on for secure calls via Ostel. I have been in contact with the developer and he believed it was an HTC limitation, so I phoned HTC support this morning and they said I need to use a third-party contacts app. Their People app doesn't have a custom field for sip, nor in the IM field.
I wanted to add the sip address of a person who phoned me to their existing contact and the People app crashes. I was able to do it once but it added the address as IM & AIM and of course doesn't work to phone that person.
Can someone recommend a good contacts app that would work well with the ability to integrate with csipsimple and google contacts?

using SIP calling

I've seen that you can set this up on the 3t but not sure how. I have an SIP account via the Local phone app but have no idea how to use it for my contacts abroad. Is there any guide to how to do this?
