Hi all, is it possible to utilize Sipdroid + PBXes if my HTC One does not have a cell phone number associated with it? I am currently not using it with any carrier and I was hoping that I can use this as a Wifi only device to make and receive calls, I'm just not sure if it is possible.
I have set up Sipdroid with my PBXes account (it was done automatically after I clicked on New link and created a PBXes account through Sipdroid). I get the green light in my notifications pull-down implying that I am connected, but any time that I try to make a call, it tries to dial for four seconds and then immediately hangs up. I went through the settings and initially it did not have WLAN checked. I checked this box and tried to make a call, only to yield the same results.
Now, for the strange part. I tried setting up my Sipdroid on my other phone that is associated with a carrier (this phone does have a cell phone number). This time, however, I could not use the New PBX linked to my Google Voice option because I had already created a PBX account. Instead, I went through the settings and entered everything exactly as it was set up on my HTC One.
Authorization Username: myusername-200
Password: myPBXpw (or mygooglevoicepw, they are both the same)
All of the settings are exactly the same, but Sipdroid keeps giving me a Registration failed (401 Unauthorized) error.
So, to sum up, here are my questions:
1. Is it possible to use Sipdroid + PBXes + GV in order to make and receive calls on my HTC One that does not have a cell phone number associated with the phone. If so, how?
2. Why is Sipdroid giving me the Registration failed (401 Unauthorized) error on my HTC Thunderbolt that does have a cell phone number associated with it? How can I fix this?
Sorry I can't be too much help on your issue with sipdroid... but I can offer up my setup. I've been using this for awhile, with mostly my tablet (nexus 7) and works like a charm. Plus I have 2 other old android phones with no sim cards and this works beautifully. So to answer your first question if its possible to use the HTC One without a sim or phone number; yes.
I attached my zip. Sorry for the cursing as I made this 'how to' for a few of my friends awhile ago and disregard the framework files stuff as that was for tablets. Best of all as this runs through your google voice account you will keep everything in order; call logs, txt, etc.
I always recommend this setup to my friends and family especially if they are traveling overseas, works like a charm.... as long as you have decent wifi... or data for that matter as I used this in conjunction with Tmobile's $30 plan that only comes with 100min talk time as this was the solution. If your set on your setup, no worries just trying to help
Thanks, I appreciate the input! I am somewhat stubborn and set on making Sipdroid + PBXes work, so I will wait a little longer to get this configuration set up correctly. I do appreciate you chiming in and letting me know that it is at least possible.
1. Yes it's possible.
2. Delete your account from pbxes.org. And create a new pbxes acct from your phone not tablet. Then use the credentials on your tablet.
I'm starting a new thread for this as it looks like the original update thread is not the best place to ask. As with other Turbo owners, the recent update broke my phone's ability to use Google Voice for my voicemail. Anyone know of a fix for this? Thanks in advance.
Yep, this happened to me as well. My only solution was to uninstall it, then reinstall, and go through the process of setting it up again. I also deleted it off of the Google Voice web interface as well. When you re-add it they ask you to confirm it, then you go through a few steps which involves dialing a string of numbers to set it all up again. I had no voicemail for a couple days before I realized it was broken. Can confirm it is working again after starting from scratch on the setup.
Just noticed the issue when I read about it here. I uninstalled Google Voice from my device and then reinstalled it and reconfigured. Seems to work now...
Thank you both! Works fine now.
I just had to reforward it with *71.
Not a problem.
I've done the forwarding and set up thru google voice, then opt in for Hangouts to manage it
Enabling Advanced Calling gets rid of any call forwarding you set up. That's why your voicemail stopped working. All you should have to do is set up your call forwarding again and it should work.
As a side note, disabling Advanced Calling also resets call forwarding. VoLTE doesn't work great for me, as I don't have a reliable LTE signal at home. So, I disabled it and discovered my old calling forwarding settings didn't come back.
I have GV "working" again....however, when a number is forwarded to GV (because I choose not to answer), it rings FOREVER before GV picks up. It used to be an immediate pickup prior to the update.
This is still an issue for me, I keep reforwarding my calls and they don't stay forwarded. It seems like it's just a couple hours before it resets.

Are you turning off Advanced Calling? That will reset it.

No.
FWIW I just signed up to Verizon and got a Droid turbo for myself and a note 4 for my fiancé. I couldn't get Google voice to configure at all, on the Note it works flawlessly. So now I have a note. The techs there were obviously baffled. I'd still have the turbo if it wasn't for lack of GV.
Clear data/cache and reinstall/reconfigure. Haven't had any problems since I did that after the update. Didn't have any problems before the update either.
No one likes to use the hangouts for Google voice? Download the hangouts dialer and you're all set. Oh, go to settings and select ring this device for calls.
How I was doing it was I set GV to to make and answer all calls. It'll attempt to ring then give up. I'm going back to Verizon tonight. I like the Note 4 but it is pretty big. The only thing other than the turbo that I like is the Xperia z3v. I don't mind the incrementally weaker hardware paired with a 1080p screen. Waterproof is also a big plus.

You want to put your google voice number.

The voicemail on my nexus 6 (cw, 32gb, 6.0.1 with Feb patch, completely stock) doesn't appear to be working. I hold down the 1 key in the phone to access the voicemail, and it says to dial a number to leave a message, or to access a voicemail on the device by pressing star. I press star, and enter my my ten-digit number like it asks, but it says it is invalid. So I go to my voicemail setting and hit set-up. There's an unfamiliar number, and so I assume that is the number it wants. I enter that as well, but it says this one is invalid as well. I called my carrier (consumer cellular) to reset my voicemail, and they did so. This did not solve my problem. To be clear, I've had this problem since the day I got the phone. My other nexus 6, moto g 3rd gen, and moto g 1st gen all set up voicemail smoothly without any this, and I was hoping someone could help me out with this.
which carrier do you use? i ask this because the n6 does visual voicemail, but it doesnt work on all carriers. oh, and since you are running , your voicemail options probably changed as well. yes, cm does this sort of thing very often.
btw, by visual voicemail i mean that it doesnt have to call out to get your voicemails, they automatically appear in your phone(to listen to).

My carrier is Consumer Cellular, and I switched on Visual Voicemail in the settings, but nothing changed. And my nexus is running pure stock. It's not rooted or modded in any way.
I currently have Verizon and they charge extra for visual voicemail, so I am of no help there, but I usually just dial my own phone number and it takes me to the voicemail service.
Every time i flash the unlocked firmware, it will succeed and go to the android upgrade screen. But once it reaches 32% it says erasing and goes right back to the verizon firmware
I was able to flash the unlocked version on my Verizon Note 8. Which guide are you following? https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/stock-recovery-odin-recovery-software-t3671615 I used this guide by BlueFox721.

Boot in recovery and factory reset then choose boot to bootloader from recovery main menu and flash unlocked firmware...make sure ums/patch is set to 1 in config file and that you are using Prince Comsy's Odin...UMS slot should be empty...bl in bl, ap in ap, cp in cp, csc in csc
This might sound strange (and, yes, I've already searched all the threads to find what I'm looking for, and couldn't find it), but, has anyone successfully flashed the Verizon firmware onto the unlocked US (SM-N950U1) Note 8? If you're wondering why in the world I'd want to do that, it's simple: Visual Voicemail. Here's my problem - I'm a chauffeur, and I rely (partly) on receiving voicemails, as I can't answer the phone when clients are in the limo (as clients get in, I silence my phone). The unlocked Note 8 not only doesn't have Visual Voicemail, but I don't even receive any sort of notification when a voicemail is left. If I don't receive any indication that I have a voicemail, how am I supposed to know? Calling myself every time I drop, so as to check for voicemails, is not a very realistic way of dealing with this. Having read in other forums, I know I'm not the only one miffed about this. Countless others with the unlocked Note 8, S8, & S8+ have discovered this "problem". Since Verizon has been worthless in helping me, I'm starting to think that the only way I'll get voicemail notifications (of any kind) is to flash my unlocked Note 8 with the Verizon firmware...unless someone reading this knows how to get voicemail notifications working. Assistance is requested...anyone?

Unfortunately, with the Galaxy Note 8, these instructions (such as those found at https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-nexus/general/guide-switch-verizon-vvm-to-google-t2151572) don't apply, and won't work. In the phone app's "Settings" menu, there is no "Other Call Options" setting. There is, however, within the phone app's settings, a "VOICEMAIL" category, of which the first two options are "Service provider" and "Voicemail settings". Under "Service provider", the only option is "My carrier"...there is no "Google Voice" option. Under "Voicemail settings", there is one sub-setting, "Voicemail number", which currently has *86 entered. Now, I could easily change that to my Google Voice number, but I'm uncertain as to whether, or not, that would do anything (plus, at least as of my time typing this post, I don't have a way of testing, as my wife is at work). Since, as indicated in step 4 of the directions given (in the above-mentioned link), one must first change the voicemail setting from "My carrier" to "Google Voice", that leads me to believe that this won't work on my unlocked Note 8.
In calling Verizon today, something 'interesting' was discovered. It appears that, when the Verizon customer service person canceled my Premium Visual Voicemail (ie. the monthly $2.99 fee) a week ago, he forgot (within Verizon's internal system) to revert my line's setting from "Visual Voicemail" back to "standard Voicemail". After the customer service person (from today's call) changed that setting, I started receiving standard voicemail notifications. So, at least I've been able to finally get traditional voicemail notifications to work. That being said, I'd STILL like to regain some form of visual voicemail, be it Verizon's (which I'm assuming will be impossible, unless I flash my unlocked Note 8 with the Verizon firmware), or Google Voice's. Since the directions given by Winesnob (again, via the above link) don't appear to work on the Note 8 (because "Google Voice" isn't listed as a voicemail option within the phone's phone app settings), any other suggestions, short of flashing the Verizon firmware?

Take out the Verizon sim when. You are flashing the unlock firmware.. it seems to confuse oidn and the firmware for some reason .. then after you set up the phone just pop the sim in. You should be good to go
Just flash it to the TMO version and use t mobile if possible.?

There should be updated info for Google voice on verizon....For Sprint all I had to do was dial *73mygooglevoicenumber and all was well...I did not mess with the voicemail settings on the phone as it was unnecessary...this just forwards to Google voice...you just need to know the correct "no answer forward" prefix...it used to be *71...leave all other settings alone...then when you get a voicemail phone will forward to Google voice....so if you have to call Verizon tech ask for the *number for no answer forward....then dial it in the phone like you are making a call with your Google voice number...for example, call (dial in phone app) *716235551234 and press the phone button to start the call...the example I used behind the *71 (6235551234) is not a real number and the *71 used to be Verizon's no answer forward prefix...your Google voice number is shown in settings of the Google voice app...

I still prefer Visual Voicemail but don't really feel like tinkering with flashing anything. I looked into Google Voice and I was kinda confused, you have to create a new phone number? How can I use my existing number but get Google voice to work properly and get voicemails?

Now that you can use your current number for calling on Google voice I'm not sure...but you can still get a Google voice number instead...I just said no when it asked if I wanted to use my cell number...and then forwarded the no answer service to the Google voice number I got from google by dialing *73googlevoicenumber

I promised I'd reply back, and I am. Thankfully, it appears that I won't have to flash the Verizon firmware, after all. After canceling my Premium Visual Voicemail with Verizon, I should have started receiving voicemail notifications, to which I'd have to call my own voicemail every time I wanted to listen to voicemails. As I mentioned previously, after my Visual Voicemail was canceled, I still wasn't receiving voicemail notifications. On Friday (10/6), I called Verizon customer service (for a different reason), and during the conversation, and having mentioned the call two weeks earlier, this technician discovered that the previous person had forgotten to switch my line’s voicemail from “visual” to “basic”. Once she did this, I started receiving voicemail notifications.
Of course, what I (still) really wanted was some form of visual voicemail…so, I decided to give Google Voice’s voicemail another shot. I reinstalled Google Voice, redid the GV settings, as well as the settings for my phone’s phone app, and dialed *71 followed by my GV number. I am happy to say that I am now receiving visual voicemail, as well as notifications, and, as such, I won’t have to clutter up my phone with Verizon’s bloatware.
