has anyone gotten sip calling to work? I'm running cm7 and have tried the native sip options and a host of apps without success. they all seem to fc
I'm not even at the point of an external Mic so please let me know
thanks in advance
As far as I know, no one has gotten any VOIP application to work successfully with a mic. Personally I've had mixed results with VOIP apps. Some I've had FC from the get go. Others, such as the Talktone Android preview is able to successfully take a phone call, but you can't talk back.

I have downloaded Skype for my Diamond, but it only allows you to do voice calls to your contacts, not video calls. Is there any software for WM6.1 that will allow video calls for free over wi-fi and/or HSPDA?
I searched the forum but only results seem to be for Web Camera Plus, which allows you to use your Diamond as a webcam for PC based Skype or MSN etc, but not used directly as a webcam on the phone itself.
Somebody help please, going away on a course and want to keep in touch with the family
Try this:
http://www.octro.com/
or
http://www.nimbuzz.com/
Both are free and you could use your existing Skype usename.
Let us know how it goes.
I've tried using both of these programs and cannot get either of them to work with Skype, any ideas?
Found one since, can't use Skype but registration is juts two minutes and free, it is called VZOchat, it works really well. Thanks for your help though.
Hello all,
I've been lurking around here for a while, and am currently running BR's latest 6.5 ROM.
Regardless of the ROM though (stock HP, Montecristo, or BR), I've been unable to get the internal SIP VoIP functionality to work using destr0's tool. I've tried 3 variants, and can never succesfully dial out - it tries to dial, then ends with "2621:29" as the call time.
Any ideas? Has anyone had success getting VoIP working with the 91x?
Thanks,
Colin
Dunno. My latest WM6.5 ROM (build 21815) has the VoIP packages included, but you have to enable the feature in the Phone control panel under the "internet" tab. Beyond that, I have no idea how VoIP even works on WinMo. Let us know if you make progress.
Thanks for your reply. I've tried a few variants of the VoIP provisioning tools that are floating around and referenced in the VoIP threads on here... Even when the VoIP shows as available, it's not able to dial and ends the call with one of a few symptoms:
-2621:29 in the time box
-unable to make call message
-letters and percentage signs where the dialed number was (to do with the ipdialplan.xml file???)
Cheers,
Colin
Hi,
This is my first posting here and this forum looks promising. I just bought Samsung i5800 from Amazon and the phone looks beautiful and has lot of nice features. I'm on T-Mobile network with no data plan. I have couple of questions on the general phone usage, installing VOIP softphone software and other issues. I apologize if my questions were already asked and answered. I searched the forum but couldn't find specific answers to my questions.
1. Firstly, the phone is running little bit sluggish. Opening and closing apps seems to be tad slow. I checked up the Manage Services and killed some of them but the others I felt were important and left it out. There wasn't a lot of services running though. How to fix this issue?
2. The phone is running on Android 2.1. Do you guys know if there is a official Android 2.2 Froyo update from Samsung for this phone? If not, where do I get 2.2 ROM. Will installing 2.2 make the phone run faster?
3. On the VOIP softphone front, I set up a new sipgate account and also a Google Voice account. I installed the free csipsimple opensource software from Android market and configured it. I don't have a independent dialer to go thru csipsimple. When I use the regular phone dialer from the phone to call somebody, csipsimple is popping up and asking me if I want to go thru it or use the Mobile itself and I choose csipsimple and it works extremely well. I hope it is using my Wifi network. I checked my T-Mobile account and there was no activity in the call log for the calls I made thru csipsimple. Now, here is the problem. When I call somebody, the other party receives the call as "Unknown". How to fix this issue? Should they be seeing my google voice number? The other big issue is I'm not getting any incoming calls thru VOIP. As I had mentioned earlier, I don't have GV dialer. Do I have to buy GV Dialer ($1.99) to make the incoming calls work? All I need is to have free incoming and outgoing calls when I'm on Wifi network. Can somebody please help me on this?
Thanks.

I've been experimenting with the built-in SIP functionality in Gingerbread. Here's what I have so far:
I have three different Google Voice numbers. My main GV number is linked to the official GV app on my phone, and I use it for most calls.
My other two numbers forward to SipGate accounts. I configured the Gingerbread internet call menu with my SipGate accounts. My use of those lines is specific and limited enough that I enable SIP calling only when I need it.
I use the Google Voice mobile site when I need to originate calls for my secondary numbers. I know some people prefer third-party callback apps, but sometimes those stop working when Google changes their API. Those numbers are mostly incoming anyway, so that's a minor issue.
Because my phone is rooted, I can make VoIP calls on both wifi and cellular data, although quality suffers on 3G.
If anyone is interested in how to set this up, I posted complete configuration instructions on my blog.
Also, if anyone has ideas for a better setup, I'd love to hear them.
I am just now starting voip class at my college and this seems like a fun little experiment to help me learn a bit and see what it can do. Thanks.
Good guide. I could have used this a few months ago. I've tried exactly the same steps on my Shift, even to the point of installing iDialer and Fring on my HTC Touch Pro 2 (same as the Tilt 2). In both cases I was never happy with the performance though (and I couldn't get iDialer to integrate with GV to make it work as a VOIP only WiFi phone). There's always a lag, which throws off my wife whenever we try to use it.
I just tried Talkatone Preview for Android as well, and it's slightly better, but there's still a lag.
Have you looked at grooveip? the app and a voice number is all you need. Roommates cells got turned off so I went with groove and it seems to work great.
Keep up the great work.
I would probably use this if I needed to make international calls.
I get good enough Sprint service here that I'm never out of coverage, but international calls can run that bill up.

This is the major pitfall of VOIP in general, but I did find a really cool app that made calls after you listened to an ad. I'll try and locate it. You need a computer and mic for it. It's like Skype, but free.
Grooveip is really nice. I was using that to make free calls back to the states while in sout east asia. Easy to get free wireless hotspots over there.

I use Linphone but it's configured to my home voip provider (Callcentric). It should work also to make free calls though.
Hi,
I'm very satisfied with my nexus 4 exept one thing: When I use the integrated VOIP / SIP function, I have a very poor audio quality with echos on both sites. However Skye is working fine (on speaker).
Does anybody know about this problem and how to fix it? With my other phone (Defy with CyanogenMod 10, thx quarx) it is working perfectly fine.
thx

Google hasn't bothered to develop the native SIP client so it's very crude and realistically unusable. It is integrated though, which makes it so appealing.
What you need is a SIP client that supports a packet loss / jitter tolerant codec like speex, ilbc, silk, or even g729.
Skype at least in the past used silk.
You may want to look into sipdroid or csipsimple. I'd love to use csipsimple, but last I used it, there was a nasty loop glitch when using it with google voice

Thanks for the fast reply. I'll give csipsimple a try.
inso
do make sure to disable all codecs but that aren't packet loss / jitter friendly.
no g711 etc.
yes to speex, ilbc, g729, and to a lesser extent, gsm.
Unfortunately the echos still occured, even with csipsimple. I now fixed it by installing CM 10.1. Just in case anybody else has got this problem.
Again, thanks for your help
I haven't had many problems with it. I had one person say it echoed on their end but no one else. I haven't heard any echoes.
My problem is with trying to use Google voice. If I set the app to use voice for all calls it doesn't give me an option to call with internet. If I don't use Google voice it gives me the option to internet call. I would Prefer to be able to keep my Google voice settings the same but I had to set it to " ask every call". This way I can say " without Google voice" then get the option to use Internet calling.
But I don't want to just select " don't use Google voice for any calls". That would give me the option to use Internet calling every time but wouldnt use the correct number when I don't use Internet calling.

In that case, set Android to always use internet calling, and set GV to prompt. Then if you hit yes, it'll use GV and dial out. If you hit no, it'll use internet calling.
But, I don't know how satisfied you'll be with the native client... Poor codec choice.

I'll give that a shot and see how it works.
