Hi there,
I'm a new owner of a Joying HU and figuring out how it all works.
Pretty happy with it so far.
So here's my question:
I ordered a 4G dongle to have a permanent data reception and was wondering, if it would be possible to do in- and outcoming calls with it directly so I could do withou a bluetooth paired phone at all.
Has anybody tried that or ist this just not possible?
Thanks
Thomas
I'm planning a similar setup, but it looks like there are no 4G dongles with voice support. If you need 4G, the only options right now seem to be some LTE routers which support VoLTE or CSFB and can act as a SIP server (e.g. Huawei E5186). However, all I've found are somewhat expensive and rather bulky.
The situation looks a lot better for 3G though. Asterisk's chan_dongle module supports voice calls with a bunch of Huawei 3G dongles. So my current plan is to use one of these, run asterisk as a local SIP server, and use an Android SIP client for calls. That way, I don't have to find or write a specialty dialer that supports 3G dongles.
if you are on T-Mobile they have the DIGITS app that will allow you to do that. Someone at one time got Tablet Talk to work, but I never could
I use Google Voice app. Makes all the calls through data as VOIP. as an added bonus, they give you a number so you don't need to use your personal phone for business

I have been trying to find an answer to this all over the forums. Has any of the cooked roms enabled the VOIP capabilities back into the phone?
I am using the VZW 6800 and would love to be able to dial over wifi with my asterisk server. I know VZW removes this feature, but I have not found out whether any of the cooked roms, including DCD's roms have added this back in.
If anyone knows, or has used this feature, please let me know your experience.
Thank you!
Check the last pages of this thread and you should be good to go. Over wifi things are good but over 3g it's not.

I have gotten the voip stuff working on my sprint mogul w/ the sero plan (connected to gizmo), but there are a few things that keep me from using it:
a. even though it *does* work over the EVDO connection, with both evdo and wifi the outgoing audio is really clippy (both bluetooth and wired headsets tested)
b. for some reason, when I have voip enabled I can't get phone service half the time... it's like I put a 6db attenuator on the receiver and it only gets service if I have really good signal to the tower
c. the audio is so quiet that it's virtually unusable that way
follow the above linked thread, I think that's where I got my info as well.
Also, keep in mind that the 'net connection you use has to be initialized when you try to make/receive a call (use PIE if need be, particularly when using the phone's internet connection rather than wifi), and in order to make outgoing calls, you'll have to make your own dialplan. (edit ipdialplan.xml)
I can post mine, if you want, I just don't have it with me. if you would like me to, PM me ('cause I might forget to check this thread again) and I'll post it here.
Hello,
I just got my Dash 3G and I have an online account for a softphone through Voipraider.com for my international phone calls. I was looking through the instructions and it does have SIP settings so I can input on my phone.
Can anyone please recommend what's a good voice quality, stable SIP client, tht I can enter my credentials in and use it over the data plan (3G) or the WIFI network??
Thanks for reading my request!
I use Talkonaut http://www.talkonaut.com its pretty basic but I have never had any trouble using it.
I downloaded the software but I can not hear any sound from the phone nor from the speaker phone. The call goes through, my destination phone rings and I can hear sound coming from cell phone to the destination phone. The problem I am having is receiving any sound back to my Dash 3G... Any setting I need to mess with to make it work?
I'm kinda glad T_Mobile finally took the step to made it official [sort of]
The idea is that T-mobile will introduce UMA-Wifi calling app which can be installed on the phone and will allow users to switch.
This is great news for people who live under low reception area and can use their homo wifi routers to make calls at no extra cost!
P.S. The second picture in the post looks like the G2 rom... so we're good fellas!

Its not true uma though. Its more like skype. Still good news for novice android users and those with poor home reception.
Prefacing this with I have no idea how UMA really works and this may be something impossible to do, but if there's the capability to make regular calls over wifi, would it be possible to combine that with google voice and somehow not use your minutes in some way or use google voice like skype but using your own handset?

That CAN be done already, as long as its over a data line (ie, wifi, 3g, HSPA+)
I believe skype is already capable of placing calls over wifi, 3G. [Correct me if i'm wrong]
But you can also use stand alone SIP Apps like 3CX or NetDial and configure them to you VOIP provider settings and make calls...
www.voipbuster.com is a really good, FREE/CHEAP VOIP provider
yes you can but in general the connection is not very good. Just my experience though
One of the difficulties in making a UMTS/wifi switchover is the lag time between the loss of one and gaining the other. Typically, going from UMTS --> wifi will work OK since it will typically ensure that the wifi is good before actually disconnecting the UMTS. The other way though, depends on the wifi signal FAILING, and then establishing the UMTS connection as a fallback.
If the network switch overlap could be extended in both directions, especially to start to initiate UMTS connection BEFORE the wifi signal vanishes (i.e., when the signal strength drops to 1-bar), then it would be fairly trivial to set up a PBX and SIP client to automatically follow the network, including seamless switchovers.
The days of regular phone service are already numbered. All you really need on your phone is a DATA plan -- SIP service tends to be less expensive and just as robust as any other kind of voice service. And it certainly kills everything else in terms of FLEXIBILITY.
Does it exist on tis tab?
how about on
http://www.sierrawireless.com/Newsr...Wireless_4G_LTE_Mobile_Broadband_Network.aspx
which may be the card going in the xoom?
Lastly if the hardware exists on an lte device, should it be possible to make calls work by switching the sim card with a lte phone sim?
I think that if you would like to place phone calls with your Xoom using the cell radio its possible to find a way. Verizon might not be happy with it.
However, Its the hard way to place calls.
Sigh up with a VoIP provider, and use a SIP Client.
I like a provider named Vitelity. You can port your number to them if you would like. They are very inexpensive, and very reliable. (or use Skype, or anyone else.)
Then, use a SIP dialer and a Bluetooth headset on your Xoom. I am doing just that using Verizon 3g and it works great.
I have signed up for skype and have a number, but skype seems to have no interest in real BT support, neither does Google. If I could force Skype to use the mic on a BT< I could likely live with it, but AFAIK that is not possible.
This all be in another forum, however I am using CSIPSimple and it supports my plantronic BT voyager 510, (on Honeycomb)
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/voyager-510&skuId=sku4610016
And, CSIPSimple opens the default Android Dialer (Which is in Honeycomb) to send and receive calls.
Would you mind testing it to be sure?
If so, place a call, leave your pad and walk like 15 feet and see if you are still heard.
Please don't be offended, I have just had WAY to many people say the same thing as you, only to find out A2DP let them hear, and they were using the tab mic without knowing it.
Hmmm.. I will check later tonight. That is a good question.
Thanks young... anyone else use csip too?
The hardware is capable, the problem is with the provisioning. Verizon adds feature codes to block voice and SMS on their tablet data plans.
what stops us from switching sims later to make our tablets look like a phone?

There is no sim to switch.

So then? Any tablet outside of the us ( or Verizon) is able
To standard phonecalls?
I'm in the uk and I was planning to buy the 3g version but if I still have to carry a phone to txt or call, i'll choose the WiFi one, save 200 bucks, and tether with my nexus when needed although I'm not very happy with the idea of carrying multiple devices...
Btw , 3g version has been priced in.....600 pounds! What are they playing at? If I finally choose wifionly I'll buy for sure in the US, screw carphone and pcworld..

I think you are asking a question that no one can answer at the moment.
LTE does use a SIM card, but, NO devices are currently available on Verizon's LTE network yet, so no one knows what happens if you switch LTE SIM cards between devices.
I also think that LTE devices use a VoIP type of voice connection, something different then how voice is done on CDMA. This new type of connection allows data and Voice to operate at the same time. This functionality, this Software dialer stack would need to be included in Honeycomb, which is not a phone Android distribution.
Young dud you test the bluetooth mic with csip?
Yes. I I have found is that I do have two way audio, all on the Bluetooth headset using csip, I walked around my house, leaving the Xoom several rooms away.
While in WiFi, Bluetooth audio was sketchy at best. For most calls, I could not get the headset in engage for the call. While in the call I would press Bluetooth on the dialer, and nothing would happen, or the audio would cut in and out, before engaging, or a few times I would have to press 'Speaker", then Bluetooth, then Speaker again before it would engage. When it would engage in WiFi I did have two way audio.
While in 3G, with WiFi Off, the connection with Bluetooth was perfect every time. No issues. The call call quality overall was a bit less then with WiFi, however Bluetooth worked correctly.
UPDATE: I just had a bad Bluetooth connection issue on 3G. So, it is spotty. It might be because CSip uses the default Android dialer which might be incomplete in some way on Honeycomb.
I should try another SIP app. But Bluetooth does have two way audio when I can get it to connect.
Hi I have just asked my provider to help make my tab work as a "phone" and was told I couldn't unless I enabled VOIP for $10 P/M
I'm not too happy about this and told them so!!!
They have come to an arrangement with me but I'm still not happy because It still sounds like VOIP to me and over 3g it drops out.
Is there a way to prove this traffic is actually data/voip
my interface shows up as SVNET0 I can capture the the UDP protocol by using OSMonitor but I don't think that is detailed enough.....
cheers for any help
PS I am running stock FROYO
First off. Who is your carrier? If you're in the US no carrier will give you voice service only data. In order to enable voice for a Tab in the US you will need to root it and then do some homework by searching through XDA. In other countries that do allow voice and data on the Tab, your mobile plan should be like any other smart phone.
cheers
Well first off I'm with Optus, and the girl tried to offer me an add on voip service to allow phone calls.
anyhow I was watching my data interfaces and sure enough they do move while on a "Voice/3g" call so although all digital transmissions could be data, these ones are UDP in particular which points to VOIP...
just need more details.....
cheers anyways
