[Q] SipDroid and Google Voice

anyone else here find this combination as awesome as i do? i mean, you get 2000 minutes of free calling over wifi/3g data with this. pretty damn good deal in my opinion. it allowed me to drop my plan from the simply everything to the 450min/everything data plan.

How does it work?

I get unlimited minutes thanks to Google Voice and Sipgate One. I just use Fring for a SIP client instead, since it's a good deal more stable and clearer.

it initiates a voice over IP call with either wifi or your phones data connection instead of using cellular minutes. just like if you have phone service through your isp.

i use pbxes.org. i just configured fring with it and they sound about the same to be but sipdroid is a little spotty sometimes. we'll see. i tried sipgate one and couldnt get it to righ through to my phone or make outgoing calls. any suggestions?

client discussion- sipdroid vs fring
I tried sipdroid and it's GV integration which works fine (when it works) but it's not reliable enough to use regularly. Specifically, much of the time on incoming calls it rings but when I answer there's no sound on either end so no go...
Fring and sipgate has proven more reliable. I forward my GV number to my sipgate number (voice mail turned off) and fring will ring. This allows all my incoming calls to go over data. The quality is not landline good but it's intelligible and in general better than sipdroid. Plus, so far I have had no audio issues with Fring. I'd prefer to use sipdroid but no go unless it's more reliable. If someone has figured out the audio issue please let us know. I don't think it's a codec problem or at least modifying them didn't have any effect on the reliability.

reference below- just set up sipgate credentials in fring then have GV forward to your sipgate number. Just add it as a landline, etc as with any other line. You can test when GV calls the line to verify it. So fring in this configuration works reliably- much more reliably than sipdroid. The quality isn't perfect but it's "tin can" ok. My guess is Fring is using some very low bandwidth codec and the quality is a good as it's going to get over mobile data lines.

I got this set up.....but I have the SIPgate/SIP Sorcery through pbxes.org going to SIPDroid. Yeah, it's a lot of stuff, but it works really, really well. I tried fring, and it would always drop out. Without the pbxes.org, the audio was not the best...

Outgoing calls not working on Gingerbread SIP account

Has anybody, running Gingerbread / CyanogenMod 7, tried using the built-in SIP stack?
I'm able to connect to my Aretta VOIP account successfully over wifi, and I can receive incoming calls on my Evo. But when I try to place an outgoing call, nothing happens.
I select the SIP adddress in the call log (say [email protected]), and instead of going to the call screen, it just flashes back to the call log.
Anybody else try this? I'm wondering if anybody has successfully made outgoing calls using their SIP account in 2.3.
Thanks!

I've been able to make sip calls using sipgate plus Gvoice callback

I have an account setup with Pbxes.org to make calls using my google number, and it works great, better than Sipdroid on froyo i gotta say.... i have sucessfully received and made calls. not sure what your problem might be

Hmm...
Well, that's encouraging.
Do you guys change any of the options under "Optional settings"? I have tried leaving the outbound proxy address blank, and have also used my server address there. Neither seemed to make a difference.
If either of you guys want to share your settings (minus sensitive info), that might help.
Thanks!

well i didnt really change any settings tho... just used my username password and server, and i checked the box to make it my primary account.

Huh... I wonder what gives.
I'm able to place calls just fine using CSipSimple.
I'm updating to #5 build of CM7, so maybe that will help.

Worked for me, though the sound volume is far too quiet in SIP calls.

It also doesn't work for me (HTC Desire, Oxygen RC7).

same for me
I can recieve calls.
I can use fring, 3cx or sipdroid correctly.
But each time i use the built in app of gingerbread it says "Numero indisponible" which is unready number. If someone has a fix
thanx

I'm having the same issue on a Nexus One running CM7 build 30. Inbound works fine, SIP account is registered. But outbound fails without a message. The screen just goes to the call-log with no sign of an error. I'm trying to enter a regular phone number, ie: +1-212-555-1212 because that's what I do from my other registered SIP phones. My provider is voip.ms
One thing that struck me, where is the dial-plan? And if there is none, what is the proper format for dialing numbers?

I'm having the same issue as mentioned in the OP...Incoming calls work fine, but outgoing calls do nothing. (SIPdroid works fine)
Has anyone been able to find a solution for outgoing calls?

CM7 sip
EVO runing cm7 can recive called just fine, just can not make any calls. No error just closes the dialer when you try to place a internet call.
However the Desire CDMA running CM7 can make and recive internet calls just fine.
Is anyone working on a fix for the evo sip problem?

CM7 sip dial
OK I got the built in dialer to let me make internet calls, if you leave the secret blank on the sip server you are connecting to it will let you make and recive calls with the CM7 gingerbread SIP
Any ideas how to make android 2.3 work correctly with a SIP secret?

In sipdroid and other similar apps, I have the option to set a STUN server, which is needed to make calls if you are behind a NAT. There's no option in the gingerbread's sip settings to set a STUN address. There's an Outgoing proxy option but if I set that as my STUN server adress, the account won't register.
Any help would be appreciated.
Edit:
I manged to make it work. I've set the address for Outgoing proxy the same as the server address. No I can make and recieve calls over the native android SIP client

Not connecting because there's no internet connection
I'm having issues (release and #38) with the integrated SIP not registering because it believes there's no internet connection when in fact there's an active 4G connection. SIP works fine (obviously with MUCH worse quality) over 3G so it seems there's some bug with 4G either dropping actually, reporting that it's dropped when it isn't or blocking SIP. I don't think it's the latter since CSIPsimple works in similar circumstances over 4G. Overall since 3G works perfectly most of the time it seems to be a 4G issue. I am also having problems with the mobile data connection dropping despite the integrated and CSIPSimple being set to receive calls and thus presumably always keeping the data connect live.

[Q] Blocking Mode Wont let Any SIP/VOIP calls Through

So I finally got my first Android device and I managed to set up my SIP accounts via SGN2's native SIP client. I can make/receive calls without a problem over WiFi and 3G - I'm happy with my unlimited calls
I'm a big Call/SMS Blocker fan. All my phones has an app installed that blocks ALL unwanted calls/SMS/MMS. So I was happy when I found out the N7100 has a built-in call blocker feature.
It does it's job, ok. BUT, it blocks ALL incoming SIP calls even though I set the settings to custom and added all my contacts with VOIP/SIP numbers to the 'Allowed' list.
The problem somehow lies in the way 'Blocking Mode' filters incoming calls.
All my SIP calls has this pattern [username]@[IP Address] - ex [email protected]
So, even though I already added the SIP numbers with the IP details in my contacts' 'Internet Call' field and the 'Allowed Contacts', the calls are still blocked. It appears only phone numbers aren't filtered out by the Blocking Mode
Is there any solution to this?
Thank you for your time and inputs
My SGN2 N7100 on stock firmware (no plans of rooting for the time being).

I'm guessing you've already verified that what the incoming number looks like matches what you have for their sip address?

Thank you for the reply.
Yes. I tried including all the details in my contact, from the default number to what it looks like when I receive a SIP call.
Normally SIP calls would show in the screen as: SIP[email protected]
The number is still blocked.

Interesting. I'm sorry I have no answers for, and I asked as I do not have any voip set up yet. I was suspecting your voip provider may have sent a base trunk address rather than the originator.
If you find a resolution, please let us know!

that might be your carrier. Who may not allow VOIP calls. e.g Skype does not let KaKaoTalk run voip calls on their 3g network etc etc

I was talking about the built in 'Blocking Mode' in the SGN2.
As stated in my initial post, I have no problems making/receiving calls over WiFi AND 3G.
The issue isn't network related. VOIP calls will go through just fine IF I DISABLE the Blocking Mode feature (i.e. allow all calls)

[Q] Best Google Voice setup for VOIP calls

What is the best setup you found for incoming/outgoing Google Voice VOIP calls on a (Sprint) Galaxy Nexus? Interested in apps that work very well over wi-fi only, not over mobile data.
I'm looking for something that has great voice quality and also integrates seamlessly with the native dialer so that when not on wifi it makes phone calls over the cell radio and when on wi-fi it makes VOIP calls using Google Voice.
I see pbxes.org mentioned a lot. Is it worth the trouble given that they store the GV password on their server and then from what I understand they have to re-code from the GV codec to whatever codec the SIP client on the phone negotiates with the pbxes servers - I hope my understanding of how it works is correct.
Other options I've seen mentioned: Groove IP, Spare Phone, Talkatone.
Not sure which approach works best, maybe the experts here can save me some research time.
And as a SIP client, what works well? I tried the native phone SIP client with a SIP VOIP service and it sounded terrible, not sure why the native one doesn't work well.
Thanks for your help.

I use groove IP no problems

Anyone else? What's your great Google Voice setup?

I use GrooveIP as well. But I really want to get my pbxes.org working on my call setting. That is what I am going to work on today.

Thanks, this is interesting but unfortunately it is too cumbersome to use by the person I'm setting up the phone for. I'd like a solution that's fully automated, use 1 dialer only (either native or a different app) that can smartly route calls via GV when on wifi (at home) or cell when not on wifi.

You can setup your PBXes account just like the tutorials (with SIPdroid) and then put the account info into the regular dialer. I think the extra steps to use the stock dialer were in a wiki somewhere or some external webpage (not on this forum).
You only need SIPdroid to create the free extension on PBXes and follow the tutorials to get all setup. Then you can go into the stock dialer and put in accountname-200, password, and then pbxes.org as the domain. You can choose to receive calls on wifi only or while on a data connection with a checkbox. I've heard that the codec used with the stock dialer isn't that great, though. It's one of those things you'd have to tryout for yourself.
One dialer to send and receive calls. It even lets you know if it's a data call or not. Maybe this is something you wanted to look into?

What SIP client pairs well with PBXes? I know the stock dialer SIP is very poor, I tried it with another SIP service and the call quality was mediocre, while their dedicated client worked very well, so at least I know it's not the phone hardware, it's the software.
I also read about potential latency issues with PBXes because they only have 1 server in NY. Is that still the case or the latency issues have been resolved? I guess in general I'm looking for a fairly reliable service though I'm prepared to accept occasional hiccups.

Mr.binglejellsx2 is almost correct. I have been deal with more than 15 apps to get best. create a account by using sipdroid. make sure you have got green dot and place one out going and incoming call via sipdroid. Exit sipdroid from your phone. go to pbxes.org and login under extension under sipdroid 200 (from left) than right, under device option retype your password. (means you are get ride of sipdroid and ready for new sip). in your phone open sipdroid and make sure your got yellow and exit. in your phone call setting, add new account, your username-200 password, server is pbxes.org under option make sure your port is 5060 and not uda must be tcp. hit back and your phone should say receiving call. If not working go to pbxes.org and re type password same extension and under personal data enter your password two times where required and submit start (means, you dont want sipdroid, the second sip and now ready for any new getaway which will be your native sip) this must work. I don't see best call quality anywhere. this is awesome especially for wifi. just like your carrier. I use this everyday for international call.. let me know if don't work. If works just enjoy..

Thanks for your reply. I've been using Groove IP with very good results over wifi (that's what I care about, Sprint 3G mobile data is so bad anyway that it can't carry a call). The paid Groove IP integrates nicely with the native dialer too, so the experience is good.

Native SIP Client

Has anyone been able to get the native sip client in android to work with FLO for incoming and outgoing calls?

Since the phone apk is not installed, I don't think there is native sip support. Csipsimple it's working perfectly however.

I managed to get it working:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463150
It can probably be done on the stock ROM as well, hacking the appropriate things in framework-res.apk and adding Phone.apk (may already be there) and Dialer.apk as system apps.

Does csipsimple echo cancellation work?
Using csipsimple can I place a call to a phone number from the native contacts app?
Using csipsimple can I place a call to a contact's phone number from the google equivalent of siri eg: "call joe smith"?
Using csipsimple can I place a call to a contact's phone number using my bluetooth headset eg click the button on the headset and then when prompted say "call joe smith"?
