Hi all,
I've been messing around with the VoIP capabilities on my Dopod 838 with Pandoras Kitchen built ROM...
I've selected the VoIP options and making a call works perfectly as well as having incoming calls work ok. What I have noticed however is that when I make an outgoing call, there is no ringback to indicate that the call is ringing. I get silence from when the dial command starts until someone answers the phone.
Is this a known issue? is it related to Pandoras ROM? a generic issue? something else?
EDIT: \Windows\ringback.wma is present... I can't find much else to check :|
Use a registry editor and go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\DialingVoIP
Check that the <Sound> string is set to a valid sound file.
I'm using Midi2Wave_079_4098.wav and is works fine.
Good luck!
Ahhh ok - I shall try this when I get my unit back. At the moment it's in for repair as I've only ever managed to get ~8 hours battery life on standby. They've had it 3 weeks at the moment, and it doesn't look like I'll get it back for at least another week, maybe 2

hi,
i can't seem to get it working. people can hear me, but i can't hear them
Anyone got this working?
Thx
it should work, i have not tested it but it should work, the files and registry entryes are taken from a hermes rom for which i am sure that it work and it is the same core and build as ours
i was able to launch the setup earlier... and decided to do it later on..
but when i tried after 2 days ... it just crashed...
did uninstall... softrest... install.. routine few times... and gave up.
I successfully connected to my Hungarian Voip provider (megafone) but no sound at all. Dialing is okay, but I cannot hear it ringing out, cannot hear the other party, they can't hear me. However the connection is there and the connected seconds are charged.
GSM phone, Skype and Fring are working well, only the Ms Voip has problems.
My settings look like this. The 'Dial plan' tab is empty. Is this normal?
Also noted that it didn't terminate the call normally as I pressed the red button, it kept charging on for 15 minutes of talk...
well now i think that something is missing, maybe audio encoders and decoders on which VoIP is dependant, i will look into this and will keep you posted
My tip is also codec-related.
Is it normal that via ActiveSync the voip says No Service? With WiFi it says Available, I think it should also with ActiveSync.
are there any news?
I don't have an issue with VOIP working on my SX66. In fact, I was surprised by how easy it was to get going.

You were lucky that your provider uses the same codec as this WM6 build does.
Since I don't use something like Vonage, or Comcast VOIP, I just went out and found a VOIP provider online. VOIPCheap.com works great with this build.
-Chris
Many of us prefer a local VoIP provider though.
VoIP Incoming RTP
Some additional info on the problem with receiving audio. (same is on my phone). I checked which codec this SIP stack negotiates.
Apparently, out of all available, MS VoIP settles either on PCMA or PCMU depending on the other end availability, and refuses other most common ones.
Well, it encodes and sends RTP which I receive on other non wm6 phones and I am sure it receives RTP, and may even decode it, but by the look of it, not a squick is sent to the hardware/speaker.
Cheers

Sorted by installing Voip support from (ftp://xda:[email protected]/WM6VoIP.CAB)
and installing on top of the existing (from voip.cab - can't remember the source).
Although the dialplan tab is still blank (requires ipdialplan.xml, I guess) but the SIP settings are remain intact after this 'patch'.

I've just tested the MS voip with 3 different VOIP providers, and I also have the "sound" problem with it.
When I use an other VOIP application (like SJphone) all is working fine, so it must be a codec problem that is missing.
I just looked at VOIPCheap.com website. It's sounds interesting. Never tried VOIP from BA. Can someone tell me what i need to do to use VOIPCheap.com on BA to make VOID calls apart from creating an account with VOIPCheap.com? Thanks guys.
Never Mind. Please ignore my last msg. I think i got the answer on there website in FAqs. I'll create the account and see how good it is.
Anyone have any good/bad feedback for VOIPCheap.com service?
Thanks.
There are a lot of threads for VoIP problems in the forums many issues are solved there, i suggest al of the VoIP users to search and read there. Also i understood that difrend providers use difrend encoding-decoding so thats why it works for some and not for everybody
did someone find a fix for the muted audio issue?
i've read many threads about many voip issues on the other forums available here, but it seems like the small amount of ppl who had this problem was left quite alone..
I'm trying to place calls via my asterisk 1.4 box.
thanks
I was able to get Internet Calling (integrated VoIP) on the mogul working with the Gizmo VoIP service. The big problem is that the volume is so low it is pretty much unusable. I followed all of the guides here on xda and came up with the same issue as everyone else; i could not get internet calling to show up on the today screen and i did not have any of the internet options under the phone settings. What solved it for me was Schap's Setup VoIP tool version .3. This tools gives us the ability to now set the items that us Mogul users do not have available under the phone settings.
In a nut shell:
1) install WM6VoIP.CAB then reboot
2) install SetupVoIP_v0.3.cab (Schap's VoIP tool)
3) open Schap's config tool and set:
a) all of your SIP settings.b) Set outgoing calls using VoIP to Whenever available.c) enable VoIP over 3G.
Now when you go to your phone dialer it should now show the name of your VoIP service at the top rather than your carrier (Sprint PCS in my case). You will have to force your internet to connect first (i use PIE to start my internet connections up, not sure of a better way to do this.) Now you will be able to make and receive VoIP calls. I have verified this by calling another phone and seeing that the caller ID is from my VoIP. I have also been able to stay on a call and browse the web at the same time (not normally possible on sprint). The 1X icon never appears over my Evo icon while on the phone now. Interestingly enough i could not get this to work over WiFi, it would only work on Evdo.
This integrated VoIP is so seamless that it pains me to use another app just because of this volume issue. I have tried:
Skype. Works great, but not with Gizmo.
SJPhone. Works with Gizmo, but is VERY choppy.
GoSip. Works great with Gizmo, but is very big and slows the phone down.
Fring. Works great with Gizmo and the mem usage is great, but has no dial pad and that pretty much makes the app useless.
Wengo. Works great with Gizmo. Mem usage is on the big side, but is manageable. Seems to be the best for me so far.
I have tried many others that either work as dial out only or only work with their makers SIP service.
Any other ideas or thoughts?
Thanks,
JD
You got the mic working using Fring ? I always got one way audio
What version of WM6VoIP.CAB did you use ?
The mic did work for me on fring. However, the instant that i realized that i didn't have a dialpad i removed it. I use VoIP mostly for conference calls and i need to be able to enter in conference room passwords.
How would i be able to tell what version of WM6VoIP.CAB i am using? I cannot find version information anywhere.
JD
You are lucky with the Fring since there is many complaints from Mogul owners that Mic doesn't work
What version did you use ?
When I was searching for the WM6VoIP.CAB there was indication that there is some new version but the link was dead when I tried to download
Can you please post it here?
When i tried Fring it was a few months ago and i don't remember the version number. I do remember using my bluetooth headset for SIP rather than the internal mic and speaker. I just tried the newest version of fring (downloaded last night) and my internal mic and bluetooth headset now do not work for SIP. Interesting.
For WM6VoIP.cab I searched here on XDA and downloaded the first link i found. Here is the one that i used, not sure if there is a newer version? http://218.93.115.138/d900/patch/WM6VoIP.CAB

That's the same I'm using ... I did read some article about this couple weeks ago ( can't find it) where there was reference and non working link to new version of this file.
Did you read this post ? :
http://www.eten-users.eu/lofiversion/index.php/t8854.html
There is reference to switch.cab ( can't find link to download it )
switch.cab
Try this:

I did, it did install ok but it doesn't work
Thanks
well i tried the configuration and everything, but the thing is that when i try to call out it says dialing then it says call ended, like it doesn't even ring. I entered the correct settings and everything.
I did everything and it DOES NOT show on my Today screen, I see the item "Internet Calling" checked in the today screen options. Any ideas?
Telus phone right ?
I if so that's normal with the Telus ROM

No, I have a Sprint Mogul with the "unofficial" leaked GPS rom. Anyone else know how to fix this? I really need this to work, thanks a lot.
It will not show on your today screen. When you go to your dialpad, the name of your VOIP provider should be listed at the top rather than sprint. If it shows that then you should be good to go.

When you make a call, does the sound come through the earpiece or the speakerphone?
How can I have the sound coming from the speaker on the screen side instead of the back speaker?
Thanks!
I'm afraid you can't
hey there.
i do have a strange prob after the regular update (phone tells me, there is an update available... clicking YES i WANT it... downloading, restart, etc.) of my sapphire:
if i want to call someone i just get a busy sound (beep beep beep... so on. u know ). it doesnt matter what number i call or what programm i use for it.
i can recieve calls like before, no prob there.
the same with SMS sending: doesnt matter what program i use (handcent, build in): after clicking the send button it takes a while and i get the message: sending not possible.
recieving SMS works fine.
i DO have a good cell connection and i CAN use 2G or 3G internet browsing. WLAN works, etc.
everything is working like before.
Anyone experienced similar "behavior"?
Any ideas, what that can be?
If there is nothing coming up here i think a wipe and reinstall is the best try?!
thx a lot.

SOLUTION...
In a German Forum (http://www.android-hilfe.de/vodafone-htc-magic-forum/8772-kann-keine-sms-mehr-schicken.html) i found some useful hints.
My solution was:
putting another SIM card (mine was SIMYO (german), change card was debitel (german)) in the phone. with this card everything worked fine.
so i put my card back in... and: voila! it worked as well.
VERY STRANGE.
dont even now if my action was part of the solution, but it works now.
no restart, etc. helped before.

Are you using google voice as your default dialer? If so, toggle or disable and try again.
Problem back
Hi again,
mysteriously the problem came back, and today i cant fone or send sms again.
the only "work around" solution at the moment is using APNdroid to kill the internet connection, and then the fon will work again.
but this is really annoying....
any ideas?
btw: i´m not usin google voice at all (i think)
using starcontact or the "standard" dialer that comes with android....

I just cooked a rom with voip builtin. I created two tpad accounts to test with and entered the account information. I then set it to default to voip whenever its available and to use 3g. If I dial its tpad number it will now ring and answer the call over both 3g and wifi. So far so good. While it will only use the rear speaker,I found that if you connect a bluetooth headset and choose handsfree mode from the dialer,it switches to the bt headset and works perfectly. I havent gotten it to dial out yet,but I think thats just the dialplan (and I havent really worked on that yet).
The big problem I have had is getting the today plugin to work. Its listed in the today settings but I check the box and even reboot but it does not appear on the today screen. Ive searched and searched but found that others have had the problem,but not found a solution.
I dont mean to be rude here,but reading the other threads,someone allways chimes in and derails the conversation by suggesting their favorite VOIP software. Im not interested in Fring or Skype or Gizmo. I know all about them,and I dont want to use them.
If I can get the today plugin to work,VOIP seems very usable.
I have elfin and skype can not work. I can chat but i can not call or recive calls. When i try to make a call it rings and then skype shuts down. then i can see the icon of a phone on the top of my display and that is it. I can not make a call. I nead to start the skype again and then is the icon gone but the calling is still a mistery. does anybody know what do i nead to do to fix that
maybe it doesn't work because it didn't meet the requirements to make a call... Try using wifi connection... it might work
no luck with wifi to. same problem. thanks for adwice but i nead to find another solution
