Dear Experts,
Let me clarify i am not a programmer by job. I am a network engineer working with HPE/Aruba product line. Their switches come with rich set of Restful APIs. Initially i was told that we can use Amazon Echo (Alexa) to send commands to Aruba switches (not sure how its done) but can it be done using Google Home Mini?
The objective is very simple, if i say create Vlan on a particular switch, it should send the restful API call to the switch. Can someone confirm if it can be done?
Hello, have you gotten a feedback for your request?

Simple question. Does the stock GB on the Bionic have the integrated SIP stack stripped from the OS or not? This is more important to me now with all the rumors of Verizon tracking / limiting rooted users. If I'm forced to use the stock OS then what other liberties did these clowns take to try to prevent me from doing things they don't want? (e.g. backing me into a corner so I still have to pay their ridiculous voice service charges)
This might be the time I decide to cancel my Verizon altogether and go with TracFone + Galaxy WiFi Player (use VoIP when in WiFi range, otherwise use backup prepaid phone). Buncha greedy jerks.
Can someone who owns the phone already check this for me? Should be able to tell by going to "Settings -> Call Settings" and looking for an "Internet Calling" configuration section. If it's not there then they likely stripped it from the OS.
Thanks!
MIA. Looks like it's been stripped.
there are better alternatives anyway - like sipdroid - i wouldnt let the lack of GB native VOIP hinder your decision. Just my thoughts
thanks guys!
to the point about external apps offering SIP support. yes, you're right, but there are numerous advantages to using the native SIP stack vs external apps like sipdroid.
a few come to mind:
* sipdroid/csipsimple has some hardware/driver issues on some phones and makes it hard to work around them at the software level.
* i've found the NAT punching/traversal these programs offer is sometimes lackluster (do they even use libjingle?) making my voip inoperable on public wifis without special port trigger setup or putting my phone in a DMZ.
* it's nice having the SIP stack integrated into OS so it's fully supported by the native dialer and other phone functions
so, i do have interest in making sure my next purchase has this feature. i'm also not sure i'm willing to sign a 2 yr commitment with a provider that limits which features i can use in the OS... that seems to be their power trip going a bit too far.
FYI -
I just got done trying the Galaxy S2 fix for this (see thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1109962) where you add the android.software.sip.voip.xml back to the system\etc\permissions folder but it did not bring the feature back. Looks like Motorola was more effective than Samsung in their stripping of the feature.

This feature disabled in BlurPhone. It is hardcoded as mSipSupported = 0 and no way to activate it.
i'm trying to re-enable this by editing blurphone.apk. i see in phoneapp.smali constructor this code:
Code:
.line 299
iput-boolean v1, p0, Lcom/android/phone/PhoneApp;->mIsSipSupported:Z
now, how do i change it to set the field to true instead of false? (sorry, i'm new to this)
Man I reallly hope someone has some luck with this - it's the only thing about the Bionic I have a problem with...ha
i tried changing the dalvik opcodes myself to force mIsSipSupported to true, then recompiled, resigned, and pushed to my system files but it crashes (force close) everytime it tries to access the BlurPhone.apk functionality now =(
not sure what approach should be, maybe someone has more info they can chime in with regarding modifying this .apk without it crashing
I'd love if someone figured this out I used to use CSIP SIMPLE and Google Voice Call back, which worked great, but having those running in the background was juicing my battery like no other. Hope someone can find a native SIP workaround!
I made a post/request in the developer forums @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1322163
I'm ponying up $20 to a dev that can restore SIP support in a couple different ways on the Bionic. If this feature is valuable to you then join me by pooling in some funds for a dev to help us out!
Hope we will have a solution soon!
Hi folks,
I'm looking for someone who can either provide a guide for replacing existing BlurPhone.apk with .apks that work with the native gingerbread SIP stack OR someone who successfully hacks BlurPhone.apk so mIsSIPSupported is not hard-coded to false.
I personally will provide $20 Paypal payment to anyone who is the first to do either of these two things. I've been patiently waiting for ROM releases on this phone only to find out that all the options we currently have still utilize the stock BlurPhone app...
Anyone else who would like to offer bounties for this accomplishment please chime in here.
Thanks!
MODERATOR MESSAGE
XDA accepts no responisbility of a scam of any sort.
No offense intended to anyone, just a disclaimer.
This is actually a HUGE thing for me - so I'll toss in $20 too.
Dumb question: Would this just be standard SIP support that I remember Google talking about 12 months ago, or would this also include the ability to use Google Voice right in the OS?
Google Video Chat works ridiculously well so I can only imagine how well Google Voice calls would sound (requires less bandwidth) if it was built right into the OS. As it stands, I use GrooveIP and it is always very frustrating to the recipient of my call.
this request is specifically about the functionality disabled by motorola in blurphone.apk
bump...
anyone? anyone?
Very much needed
I will also be willing to put in money if this gets done. What was Motorola thinking taking it out?
good news...new ICS CM9 has working built-in sip ..whoot
Evening All,
I have tasker running on a Madcatz Mojo (Tegra 3 Android Box). It "runs" my "smarthome" quite nicely. I mainly communicate between phones and android TV using auto remote (to set variables and help trigger events). However as my wife is not as tech savy as I, I use pushbullet for her needs. We have simple commands like "Did I leave any windows open", or "Where did I park my car". Which is great but I can't get it to work for a specific person (ie works for anyone who messages the box). Which is a bit of a security hole really. My "house's" gmail account is unknown to others but I still don't like anyone being able to send the trigger phrases and know where my car is or if my windows are open etc. Futher to this I want to run it off a group chat, between myself, my wife and the house. This way if my mrs doesn't trigger something correctly, rather than her being fustrated, I can quickly say "You gotta type Where IS my car not Where's my car" (as an example).
So what I'm looking for is a chat app that I can install on the mojo and our phones that tasker can use to set variables and check identity, as well as having a group chat. I saw Join might be an option however it's paid and I would prefer to go with a free option if possible.
If Join is my only option can anyone confirm it can do what I require?
I am a Join user and know it can send commands to Tasker. You can pair multiple devices to Join - so you can then send a command to your box from it from the web or anywhere else you want (It uses your Google Account Login).
Join's programmer also makes a great suite of apps called AutoApps that can greatly enhance your possibilities. Autonotification for example, lets you intercept notifications and have Tasker react accordingly. He also has some other apps which give voice control which Tasker can respond to for more Smart Home Automation fun.
What's wrong with the pushbullet solution, if I may ask? It is kinda like a private chat between your wife, your "house" and yourself PLUS it has native tasker support built-in. Seems like this fits all your needs, doesn't it? Correct me if I'm missing something.
Apart from this, you may want to look into AirTask. I did not try it (yet), but it seems to be a solution for connecting different devices. (It's surely not a chat app, though.)

Can't have a "group chat" and can't determin who's the incoming user.

Oh I know, I'm a fan of his apps. I use auto voice and autoinput a fair bit in my home automation .
my question is that How does google home communicates with devices? Please reply I'm a newbie and got stuck here. Your help will be highly appreciable and it will mean a lot to me.
Hello Manishthakur,
1) you should specify your Q more. Why do you ask?
2) to communicate with Chromecast in your TV it uses Wi-Fi network (802.11b/g/n/ac (2.4GHz/5Ghz))
3) to stream music to other (BT) speakers it uses Bluetooth 4.1

Hi chrnec,
My question was how does google home communicates with compatible devices? What is the process?
Can u give an example of that compatible device? I still cant get where you heading to.
Maybe you want to know if connection is direct (local) or if cloud and internet is used?
Yes my question is to know if connection is direct (local) or if cloud and internet is used?
And if a self made product is there how we can make that device communicate with google home? this is second and last question.
Unfortunately my knowledge is not sufficient for this. Mybe someone else will help us to understand this.
But read this:
At I/O, Google rolled out a developer kit similar to what C by GE uses so more companies can enable setup in the Google Home app. This Local Home kit could also make your smart home faster. Instead of communicating with the cloud of every third-party device, the kit allows your smart speaker to store cached versions of certain commands. They can then process the command locally and communicate with the device directly over Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Everything You Need To Know About Google Home
Andrew Gebhart - https://www.cnet.com/how-to/everything-you-need-to-know-about-google-home/
Also you should lear smt about IFTT, if your DIY device will have web interface control page you can use IFTT to connect it with your Google Home device.
Does the Google Assistant not work at all when there's no internet connection? I must have been smoking mescaline when this phone was being marketed because I could SWEAR that was one of it's big selling points.
My Assistant won't work AT ALL without an internet connection. I realize of course that searching and other things that need to access the internet would not work, what I mean is local commands like "Call so and so." All I get is a message that "...can't reach Google right now."
THe internet is littered with reputable reviews, both print and video, proclaiming this as a feature. I chatted with Google and they acted like I was asking directions to another planet (Betelgeuse 6 is nice this time of year and I haven't had a Gargleblaster in ages...but I digress).
Same for me I hate Google pixel phones they use the same philosophy as apple focus on software and ignore hardware
It works for me, make sure you're using assistant 2.0 though
It works for me aswell. But only basic tasks. "Turn on flashlight" or something like that. No questions whatsoever. Assistant has no knowledge database, can only access basic functions.
Never tried it but now you've got me wondering. That's pretty dumb if it cannot even process local content offline.
Well you cannot ask it a question it does not have data for, so without a network connection it cannot "search web for xyz". But call Joe Bloggs, caption video and torch on then yes it should work.
