Inbound VOIP Calls - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi
I have tried various WM6 builds and cabs posted in the different threads here. I am able to configure my device to say either Available or Selected and it seems to work well for outbound calls using the built in Internet Calling feature.
My problem is inbound calls rarely work. If I call out, hang up, then call my device straight away it usually works. If I leave it a minute or so, it seems to loose connection with my VOIP provider. If I turn Internet Calling off then back on again it usually fixes the problem for a minute or so before dropping the connection .
I have tried several third party VOIP apps and these seem to work fine, keeping the connection with the server, but non of them route the audio through the internal earpiece, all use the external speaker. Anyone know of an app which routes audio through the internal ear piece?
Is there any sort of WM6 'keep-alive' setting or registry key which can be set to make it keep the connection with the VOIP server ?
Thanks
maaron.

Wireless Modem

One confusing problem that i want to solve: When i am connected to the Internet via the "Wireless Modem" application,then i can't receive any incoming call even it is no data transfer over the air(GPRS). Every phone is available for receiving this calls when it is no data transfer active. But my Himalaya not. The other side is ringing to me but i can't see anything. No missed call no incall..nothing. I can lose lot of important calls when i use Internet(WModem) at same time. The problem is the same also for SMS's. Is it some solution of this problem? Or is it somewhere over the net any application that can toggle the call forward to any other phone? I will be greatful for any suggestion. Thanx.

GPRS & 3G setting, important !!!!!

ok, this is a strange issue and i am not too sure about it, so correct me if i am wrong.
When i use my Universal, i use the Hack which enable my GPRS/3G always on, it works great and when phone call comes in, the dis-connect the connection and re-connect it once you finish phone call.
But with Athena, after i apply the same Hack, although the connection is always on, but you CAN'T received any phone call ! So i turn the Hack off and do some more testing. I found out when i use Opera and connect to internet (3.5 G), i can't receive phone call, but when i close the program, the connection change to 3G (instead of 3.5), then i can receive phone call again.
But notice here, the 3G is still on when i receive phone call, so it doesn't disconnect any more.
So important to remember don't use the Hack on Athena, otherwise you can't receive phone call.
Anyone can explain this?

Skype/VOIP over bluetooth?

Hi all,
I was interested to know if it is possible to use Voip or Skype over a bluetooth connection.
I currently sync via bluetooth using my HTC Himalaya, which allows me to access the internet at my home.
I tried using Skype Mobile on my phone but it only seems to allow 3G or WiFi connections.
I don't want to use my phone as the headset, connecting through my PC's Skype, I want it to work standalone ie Be able to connect to the Skype Network/VOIP network using software on my phone, connecting to the activesync bluetooth connection.
Any ideas?
it's transparent to most programs which connection they use as long as it's fast enough
and my tests and tests i've sene indicate that bluetooth is not fast enough to do talk with skype
but you can chat but then so you can using gprs
Even BT 1.x should be able to provide enough bandwidth for Skype or VoIP applications as in the worst case you will need 64 kbps up- and downstream (using G.711 like codecs). The problem for VoIP / SIP is probably that it won't run over the ActiveSync connection... which is very limited anyway. There might not be a way to do what you want, but it would be interesting if someone could correct me.
Bluetooth Activesync Works
Well I just configured and managed to use Skype over Bluetooth Activesync....and it worked OK.
The sound was identical to that which I get on my SDIO 802.11G Wifi Card, so I am not complaining.
I was unable to "chat" with someone though, as in typing (I could type but they couldn't see it, possibly because I was logged in elsewhere), but I was able to use the Echo call function, and it worked.
So. It works. But more testing is needed.
It saves me having to carry around and purchase extra wifi equipment when I can do the same over Bluetooth...
Do many people know how to do this? Do you think I should make a post in the development and hacking or general forum?
works great

SIP over WIFI => Screen Power off Drops WIFI Connection

Hi All,
I hope some one can shed some light on this.
I am using fring to connect to my SIP provider - no problems... except.... when I power off the screen the wifi connection is droped. Bad if someone is trying to call.
Is there anyway to keep the wifi connected whilst the screen is off?? All i want is for the wifi to stay connected just like The Phone Network Data connections Do....
Is this possible?
What SIP clients can you guys recommend? Isnt SIP integrated in to WM6.1??? cant find it anywhere.... and the threads about it seem to have gone cold..... any clues?
(touch HD with Telstra Stock ROM - AUS)

HD Tweak Win!
HD Tweak allowed the wireless to stay connected. Nice!

Now, SIP clients Anyone??? Been using Fring - is there anything better or integrated that is a bit cleaner?
basically all i want is to be able to recieve SIP calls whenever connected to the provider, but select how outbond calls are handled
Native SIP stack on WM6.x is not very user friendly and it lacks some major features. No echo cancellation, no earpiece support, no NAT traversal, etc...
Try AgePhone2 mobile (commercial) or PortSIP (free). Also check out this forum, there was plenty of VoIP discussion in the past 2 years or so.
sip client
the best sip client integrated with WM 6 is this. have been using it for long with sip calls
WM6VoIP.CAB & SipConfigTool_2_0_1.CAB
pm me your email address, cant upload attachments...

any working SIP Client

Retail USA 10.1 ver 3.1
anyone has success for sip client
I tried few clients like CSipsimple , Sipdroid and voip by antisip
It will connect for few seconds then drops the connection. I am not sure but like in G2x phone it worked with data plan only not with Wifi.
I am using GrooVe IP which connects to your google voice account. You have to pay for it but it works I think worth the money. Not sure exactly how it works, but it rings before my cellphone rings.
I also installed it on my phone and the GrooVe IP rings a good second or more before the normal forwarding comes through.
I was trying not to use Google Voice and use our corporate VoIP (which is Asterisk server) , which has my extension and so on.
Thanks
I've had sipdroid installed for a while and haven't ran in to any issues with it. I'd suggest checking the various configuration settings and making sure it isn't something with your specific setup.
Another thing to watch for is the WiFi sleep policy, and make sure that the wifi isn't disconnecting once you put the tablet to sleep (though if it disconnects while the screen is still on that likely isn't the issue you are running in to).
this time Sipdroid worked,
what I did was just use one audio codes and made other one to never use.
I tried with PCMA , GSM and speex they all by itself worked. (of course we have those on server side)
