I have severe problems with Sip/Voip, almost any softphone and the android sip client are giving a lot of echo and ticking sounds while speaking. Also if I switch back to the stock Rom slot running stock JB from Verizon the problems are the same. So I don't think it is about the Rom (CM10,1.2).
The only client that seems work seemly fair is the SipDroid client, while the FritzBox Fon App is working perfectly. The engine of this client is also based on the SipDroid client.
On my stock rom I haven't installed the FritzBox fon app, so It can't be interference of both.
I hope somebody does have an suggestion, because on my old nokia E72 voip was running very smooth, even on 2G GPRS connection through a VPN tunnel, crystal clear sound.
I have been testing zoiper on my nexus 7 2013 and there it's working fine, while on the droid 4 the sound is terrible. Very strange

I'm using the most current Cingular ROM and find it doesn't do a very good job at finding or managing WiFi connections. It latches onto connections that have weak signal or are now out of range and sometimes refuses to allow you to manually force a change. BTW it works great on Bluetooth.
Is there some ROM someone likes that is especially good for WiFi? Or is there a good WiFi management program?
I'm using this thing with a Bluetooth GPS receiver and running a map application so if I can get that, WiFi and some reasonable browser running reliably I'd be a happy camper.

The best one I've ever used is Socket's Wifi Companion. They don't sell it any more, though.
I have enabled simultaneous connections for Voice & Data in my ROM by editing the 'ContextNumber' values in the registry.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\\RIL\OperatorContexts\23415] ;Vodafone UK
"GPRSContextNumber"=dword:3
"UMTSContextNumber"=dword:3
This seems to work, to a degree but I am not sure about some of the behaviour. I have my data connection set to permanent as I use Exchange ActiveSync for work as well as MS Office Communicator Mobile 2007 R2. I have a 2nd data connection for MMS but this is hardly ever used and only for MMS anyway.
If I am on a call and an email arrives I hear a notification and if I quickly look I can see an email has been received whilst the call is still in place. If the call is short then everything seems fine, however if the call is for a few minutes or more then typically my OCS presence status gets messed up and the connection to the OCS server gets broken. The data connection is still in place but there seems to be some breakdown of sending/receiving data whilst the voice call is connected for more than a few minutes.
I am struggling to troubleshoot this and was wondering if anyone else has issues with simultaneous voice & data calls?

generally it's not a phone thing class A gsm phones all support it
but if your phone operator don't have full support in their end
there is not much you can do

every htc phone I had supported it fine without any reg changes

No, that's the thing it does work and I can receive emails via the data connection when I am on a voice call. It just seems after the voice call is active for more than a few minutes then there is some communication breakdown, however the data call remains active.

I've decided to give VOIP a go. I've had qualified success. I have no problems whatsoever if I use 3G or H+ on my mobile phone to connect to Callcentric -and subsequently make my google voice call.
But the thing that piques my curiosity is that when I use google voice through my computer, I can call without problems and yet, when I try using the same internet connection with my Galaxy note to make VOIP calls (CSIPsimple + Callcentric + Google Voice), I get a message:
Callcentric
Error while registering - Request Timeout

Even with the SIM card removed or with the phone in Airplane mode (and WiFi enabled) Callcentric (on WiFi) refuses to connect.
By testing several different SIP service providers (it feels like all of them), I think I've narrowed the problem to somewhere between CSIPsimple and the provider's choice of protocol. I have tried as many SIP service providers as I could find. For some providers (antisip comes to mind), the WiFi works, but the audio doesn't; while other providers only agree to work so long as I'm not on WiF (callcentric among other).
Anyone have any suggestions?
I am going to be traveling this weekend. I guess I'll be paying $14 for an in flight wifi pass from gogo.
I guess I could use grooveip and Google voice to make and receive calls but it's never been fully reliable.
Anyone out there have a suggestion? I tried using Skype for video calling and that didn't work.
Thanks!

EDIT:
After doing some research I am finding mixed answers. It seems like half the people say when using gogo vpn, voip is blocked as a courtesy measure to other passengers....but google voice texting still works. And the other half say they have quietly been able to make a few phone calls with no issue.
Interesting.
If you're somewhat technically savvy you could try and setup a VPN connection and VoIP (use a generic SIP provider) over that. If you had a working VPN (gogo is unlikely to block those, as they'd kill off their core business - business travelers), you could use a VoIP app no matter where it was blocked as all traffic would be encrypted and tunneled and not visible to the provider (gogo in this case). I VPN back to home if I'm using SIP apps anyway because I'm too lazy to set up encrypted connections and I once had someone steal my credentials when roaming with a SIP app in Europe a couple of years ago.
I'd recommend avoiding things like skype. They're not well optimized for the quality of connection you'd get via gogo. I'd recommend something like csipsimple with a cheap/free/per-minute SIP provider. The downside is the g729 codec - which is what you'd want in this case as it carries "toll quality" voice at 8 kilobits/sec - costs $9 to license due to patent issues.

Hi All!
i've big problem with voice communication on my note5 (stock rom - N920CXXU2BPJ5), after 3-5 seconds Viber, Skype or WhatsUp break the connection, it is only with cellular data, on wifi works great.
My sim card and quality signals are ok, on another mobile Viber or Skype works fine.
If anyone has the same problem?
Marcin
