Hi All, I am just newly shifting from HTC Desire HD to SGS II. I used to use internet calling through BRIA application over 3G on my desire HD phone without any voice quality issues. Trying the same on SGS II, I noticed that while I can hear the other side clearly, they cannot hear me at all! I loved my new phone though I ended up holding both 4+ inch screen phones to manage all my internet intl. Calls on my old phone! Has anyone experienced same problems with internet calling on SGS II? Please share if there is any specific settings needs to be adjusted.
Additional observation, meanwhile my Desire HD has some options for internet calling under Settings/Call, the SGS II doesn't! Where can I find the normal Internet Calling Setting gs on it?
Thanks all, & Have a great day!

I use Ooma and the call quality's great over 3/4G and Wi-Fi. The call quality's not as good if the signal's weak but that's to be expected.
Seems strange! As i'm using the highest speed internet data plan (21M) H+!
What codecs are you using for calls over 3G? I am using G729 as I heard it is the best 3G codec. BRIA Even are selling it separately away of their application price to those willing to have very good quality over 3G! But seems this is not the problem as I am using same settings on both phones!

There is an app called cSipsimple in the market.it works with any voip and voice quality is great. It has a function to integrate with your dialer if you want. You will need to configure the mic because SGS2 has two mics.one at the top and one at the bottom.these software tends to use the upper mic by default.there is also another option to activate the default integrated sip function that comes with the phone.only fault, it seems to use the upper mic (close to the phone jack).i can't remember if this can be configured.

Gave it a try! It is working great! Really thank you!
Though, still needs to understand about the mics issue! Does it mean this application uses different mic than BRIA is configured to use! Couldn't get this as a Non-Specialist. Can a headphone speaker with a mic solve the problem?

I bought my Galaxy tab last Friday and am determined to use it to get rid of my iphone 3g. I've tried a few different voip services but I cannot seem one that will allow me to send and receive voip calls over 3g or wifi. Does anyone know how I can do this?
Oh this is on a US T-Mo version
I had no isses getting several sip clients to work with my Ring Central account (monthly charge).
I am using Sprint. Any chance you didn't configure it correctly or that maybe TMO is blocking VOIP traffic?
Sorry, but t-mobile blocks voip so far as I can tell

I didn't think Skype worked via BT... How did you accomplish this?
Lol, dont know. Installed the hacked apk,Got my skype number this morn, then paid the 2.99 for a month, connected my bluetooth and called my wife. Works perfect. Well, there is a of course the small delay. Other than sucking up alot of data, its a perfect work around for now.

The Atrix is not supported yet by Tango. Wait until they officially support the phone.
If it's any help there is already a specific version of Qik for the Atrix. It's called Qik video connect for Motorola. It will use the ffc.
beat me by less than an hour on this post - I had been messing with it for about 10 minutes at lunch trying to get it up and running with no luck.... The strange part is that the app isn't force closing (FC), it is just going into the background. When it "soft closes," press and hold the home softkey button until the task manager pops up and you'll see it is still running, not to mention the lack of an official notification from Android that it had indeed FC'd.
The problem with qik is that you can't video call to iphobe users.

yeah but no FFC for fring yet right?
Yes, Tango app doesn't work yet on Atrix. Fring & Yahoo messenger works but only with rear camera. They need to tweak these apps to make it work with Atrix FFC.
Anybody heard any news on updates for any of these chat apps yet? Really want to use this FFC already...
You should uninstall Tango until they come out with an update for it to support our device. I found it preventing my phone from sleeping and draining the battery. That's what I got from my experience with it.
There was a tango update today anyone test it on the atrix??i have tango but no one to test it with

Make sure to update your device to the latest version from the Android Market!
I have been looking for the Android equivalent of Talkatone on the iPhone for a while. Talkatone allows you to make direct calls via gtalk (without callback to cell phone which uses up cell phone minutes).
The Android equivalent App is called GooVe IP:

I am wondering the same thing. Here is one important difference.
Net Talk - You will not receive a phone number-outgoing calls only
GrooVe IP - app supports making and receiving calls using Wi-Fi and/or 3G/4G data connections. It works via Google Voice.
I think I will take a chance on GrooVe IP.

nettalk app doesn't make use of the proximity sensor so it kind of sucks in the respect that it leaves the touch screen functional while running. I've been bitten by this a couple of times...
I might try out grooveip as I've seen several people say that it's decent.
I WAS going to try out skype, but now that M$ got their sticky fingers on them...

I'll have to try it, as other than not using the proximity sensor nettalk works fine for me on wifi, and with my usually crappy 3G here I don't believe that ANY app will work over 3G for me...
I'll post back with the results next time I use it unless someone beats me to it...
I fail to make regular video call by 3G cellular netwok ( not by internet like skype and else) , do I need apps or different rom, or video call not supported on dell streak .

Use the "Tango" app lets you video chat with others over 3g
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App
I also use the fring app to make 3g video calls
3G video calling is possible but not practical due to the limited/irregular data transfer over a 3G connection for any network (lagging). I've some practical success with visual and verbal conversation over 3H connections (E=low,G=med & H=high MB/s) but ideally 4G will be more suitable for this type of communication method. To reply to your post - YES.
I don't want to use tango, fring and else, or other web apps. I just want regular video call without internet. With nokia or galaxy I use to place call to anyone that have just phone with camera and usim.

Hey guys,
Looking to upgrade to the Nexus 4 when it comes to stock. The only 'bloatware' I care on my current MyTouch4G is the wifi calling feature from TMO. Since this phone doesn't have any of the TMO bloatware, does that mean it does not have wifi calling built in?
It's a great feature for inside offices and homes, and I would like to keep it. This may be the 'break it or make it' factor in my phone decision. I've searched and have not had any success. Can someone confirm this? Thank you.
T-Mobile has said that they will not be releasing WiFi calling for the Nexus 4.

That's correct. But T-Mobile WiFi calling isn't the only answer to your need. Look for Vonage app one the market. It's free, uses your mobile number to call out and the quality might be even better that what you're used to. It won't accept calls so for that you might have to check out some of the sip solutions if you need to receive calls on WiFi. Also, Vonage works over 3G/4G as well.

Well in that case it's simple. Just use Google voice with your number. Google voice sends all text messages thought the internet connection whichever available at the time. The are some inconsistencies for MMS but once you port your number there are other benefits which I think outweigh the problems with MMS. Vonage app sends text messages through internet also.
