we recently found out that ics allows native voip calling, which is awesome if you want to save craploads of money. but did anyone here ever manage to get it working? the problem is that i hear nothing, the receiver can hear me just fine.
it's so weird because all third party clients i tried work flawlessly, csipsimple for instance. this app in particular is really, really nice, but it muddles ics with that gingerbread look, i'd prefer the native client if it only worked. so there must be something im doing wrong. but what?
It could be a lot of things that have been setup wrongly or your voip provider doesn't allow it.
For me, I have it working perfectly on gnex. The provider I am using is poivy (poivy.com).
They provide details of how to setup their service in voip capable devices. I simply copied the values from the info page they provided and was able to make it work after some failed attempts.
I found that there is a tricky part in process where you have to setup the Optional Settings in the SIP Account Details. I had to enter the Authentication username. Its simply your user name as you entered it in the Username field in the same settings page above the Optional Settings. Its seems odd to have the user name entered twice but that did for me.
If all fails, try setting up an account at poivy.com, they give you free calls to US numbers. That would iron out that your provider doesn't allow you to setup a voip on something other than the software they provide.
Let me know if u need more details or help...

im mostly using wifi so the provider can go screw itself, but i tested it outside the building with csipsimple and luckily it works, phew. its only this google thing that i could never get to work ... i mean the data is fine, it finds my account and the call goes through, but its of no use since the receiver does not hear a thing, i hear him though. i researched before and overread something about "it uses the wrong mic" and there was talk about a fix, but i couldn't find something concrete.
I use this and it works, but it’s a very bare-bones SIP client and doesn’t implement the SIP standards as well as other SIP clients. I hope Google pays attention to this feature and makes it more robust going forward.
I see, at least its not totally broken lol. Which version of ICS you are running? I am on 4.03 (Custom rom, Roman's AOKP M4) and have tested it with two sip accounts and it works just fine...
let me know if you need anything else.
cheers
im on aokp b28. i tried it with two handsets, nexus & s2. speaking works, the call receiver hears, but i get nothing back, i hear nothing. i tried it with intervoip and voipcheap.

Try speaker mode, screen off could be trimming back your throughput
well, as it turns out nothing works anymore from today on, not even csipsimple, which always did work fine. in my frustration i downloaded a crappy looking client from the providers webpage that gives me forceclosures every now and then, but that one does the job somehow. maybe they changed something in the protocol or something, who knows. still, thank you all so much!
I just purchased the VoIP service from VoIP.ms and it works flawlessly with the built-in sip feature on my galaxy nexus.
If Dell Voice worked with my Bluetooth headset, I would have stuck with it, but VoIP.ms is working so well, a few bucks a month is worth the extra features and built-in stability.
maybe it has somthing to do with how my wifi is configured but whatever i tried i couldnt get it to work. very strange.

Sometimes firewalls will block the ports needed for voip. Have you tried on a different wireless network or your data plan?

it works with 3rd party apps, well, one worked, the app from the provider itself. i think i blew a couple of bucks already with all the trying, i'll just pass on this. it would be nice to use the native ics feature but i don't see what im doing wrong there. the account-data is right, the connection is made, i hear the receiver but he cant hear me. i tried it with two phones under two wifi configs and it never changed. im starting to think maybe its the voip provider wanting to push its own app, maybe they made something to prevent other apps from working properly. not even csipsimple worked although i never had problems with it on other providers. but this one is so damn good for mobile connections, calls here cost normaly 20-25 cent/min, now im paying 2 ... so i'll take the ugly gingerbread plugin for now.
Is there a difference when using the Native ICS VOIP or something like GrooveIP?
I use my Inc 2 as pseudo landline with SIP calling. Google Voice and PBXes is how I did it. Really simple actually since you can have sipdroid make a gtalk truck with your Google voice. Everything else that needs to be done is the trunk password needs to be your Google password and you need to setup inbound and outbound routing to the proper extension. Then setup internet calling to point to your pbxes account and make sure it connects. And inbound and outbound calling to and from your Google voice number works just as if it were an activated phone.

Just wondering. I have been using native SIP function on my SGS2 with voip.ms service as well. I am running a modded AOSP version of ICS and I noticed if I set to keep alive I find the battery drains heavy. Like 8%/hour with no use. This is the only way to ensure I have no missed calls. In battery stats it shows that Android OS is the culprit.
Are you finding that your battery drains faster also?
When I use Dell Voice I have no battery drain issues at all.

I don’t have this issue using the stock ROM on the GN—and I always send keep-alives 24/7. That said, I tend to be near Wi-Fi most of this day, so I don’t know if this has something to do with it.

No additional battery drain has been noticed since adding VoIP to my phone, even with the "receive calls " option turned on.
I'm on WIFI 100% of my day. I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

I wonder why it drains my battery so fast. something is happening.
When I use Dell Voice or any other sip client like csip this does not happen.
maybe it is stopping my phone from deep sleep.

Use an app like betterbatterystats and see if you have any rogue wakelocks.
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
all voip services that ive tried on my galaxy s3 with "receive calls" enabled will prevent the phone from going into deep sleep. Makes sense because the SIP client needs to contact the SIP server every 30 seconds or so otherwise the SIP server will drop the client. (as i understand it)
Groove IP doesnt wakelock the phone, but I dont like the backend. That is, you can only have one client logged into google chat (which is how groove ip works) at a time. Also it does not support 911 services. both huge issues for any serious investment
SIP is much more flexible aside from the wakelock requirement
Updated! Now works on 4.2! Updated!
Hi All-- I really miss Tmobile wifi calling, and I have finally put together a system which works for me...so I thought I would share it if anyone is interested.
It works about as well as Wifi Calling did on my Tmobile Gs2.
I have found this to have two main benefits over the Groove IP method put together by codesplice here: (note: all credit goes to codesplice--he did the heavy lifting on this..I just modified his approach)
1) the call quality is a LOT better. a LOT LOT LOT better. Groove IP sucks.
2) with this method, calls will still ring through to your gmail (assuming you have it set up that way in google voice)
Download these apps to your phone:
CSIPSimple
Google Voice
Google Voice Callback (donate) (you can get it from the amazon appstore...not on the play store anymore for some reason)
Tasker (you need the newest beta, available here http://tasker.dinglisch.net/beta.html )
Secure settings
Download this file, unzip it, and put the files on your phone's SD card (tasker profiles):
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4nxPgKYHIDjbVN1b3IzNC0wd1E/edit?usp=sharing
Instructions:
1) Go to Callcentric.com and sign up for a free account. Write down your SIP number that it gives you (it will start with 1777)
2) also in callcentric, sign up for a free phone number. If you say that you live in the us, you have to pay for 911 access....
3) Open CSIPSimple on your phone. It will pop up with some questions about when you want it to work. I have mine set to ONLY be in use when I am connected to a wifi network. Then add an account. It will have an option for callcentric. Do that and sign in with your callcentric account (username is the 1777 number again).
4) Go to voice.google.com on your computer, go to the settings page, and add the new phone number that you got from callcentric (the phone number, not the 1777 number). It will call you to confirm the number...it should ring through to your phone! (note: under your regular cell number, choose 'edit>advanced>make sure that "Ring my other phones before going to voicemail " is checked)
--You have now set it up for incoming calls. If that's all you care about, you are done! Any call made to your google voice number will ring through to your phone via wifi calling.--
Now we're going to set it up to make outgoing calls
5) Open Google Voice Callback. Sign in with your account. In the settings, choose your new callcentric phone number as the callback number. That's it! you're set! now when you initiate an outgoing call, it will ring back to you, and you are good to go for free wifi calling!
--If you don't care about automating it, you can stop now.--
We're now going to set it up so that it works like WIFI calling, meaning that it a) turns on when connected to a good wifi network, b) turns off your cell radio when connected so you're not wasting battery, and c) it turns off automatically when you are not connected to wifi. We will do this with the miracle of tasker.
6) Make SURE you are on the latest beta of tasker. It is required for this to work!
You can find the newest beta here: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/beta.html
DL this zip file that I put together with my tasker profiles, unzip the files and put them on your SD card. Open up tasker and long-press on the 'profiles' tab. Choose import, and then import them.
Ze hu! You're done! Please let me know if it works--and I'm happy to try to help if it doesn't.
If it works for you, please click 'thanks'!
----
Note--the tasker profiles were put together originally by codesplice, and all credit for them goes to him, not me. You can find his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646755

The advantage of CSIPSimple over the native SIP client in JB is that CSIPSimple can be set to only operate when connected to wifi.
I hope this is useful for everyone--works great for me!

I have it specifically set up so that it only works on wifi--I don't want it on 3g.
However, if you want it to work over a data connection, that's just a simple settings change in the CSIPSimple app for incoming, and then you'll want to modify the tasker profile that interacts with Google Voice Callback so that outgoing goes through GVCB by default on 3g as well.
I tried creating 2 different accounts at ipkall and each time I get my phone number and try to put it into GV I get an error saying that the number is already in use by 2 other accounts!
4th account was the charm, thanks!
Keep trying....and try a different area code. If a number isn't used for 30 days it resets and is assigned again

Really quick question regarding this topic. Are these wifi calls for free? Tmobile call me today to see how I was doing after a week with their service and ask me if I wanted to add free wifi calling. I asked the lady if it was free she said it was and it wouldn't count in my minutes is this true?

Yes, if done correctly the calls are free. With my phone in airplane mode and wi-fi on, all calls go through Google Voice then through the free SIP account(s)

Yes, Voice+ is what I'm using right now. Working so far. Only problem I have with this is that all your outgoing calls come up as calls from your Goole Voice number.

I am experiencing problem voice dialing from bluetooth headset on jellybean roms on the vzw gNexus.
On any non jellybean rom i can say... for example... "call mom on mobile" and it will, 95% of the time call mom. On jelly bean if i say the same phrase, it will 100% of the time return "calling tim, on mobile". In fact, it doesn't mater what contact name i say, it it ALWAYS suggests the wrong contact.
I thought, ok, lets try google now. If i open google not, tap the mic(voice input) option, and say, "call mom on mobile" it will fill in the search box with "call mom on mobile" so its understanding me correctly, then below that is says
"did you mean call tim on mobile"
and lists tim then mom in a list of numbers to call.
I spent over 3 hours trying to get this to work right, flashed every JB rom i could find, wiped and rewiped and reflashed. Finally went back to ICS and retested, sure enough it works awesome on ICS.
Can anyone atleast try to replicate this problem, or is anyone already experiencing it?
THanks!
Bump
Bump again.
Almost 50 views, if anyone using a bluetooth and Jellybean can at least try it and let me know if it happens to you or not. Thanks
Works fine for me.

what phone and rom are you using? Looks like GSM, and OTA.
I just checked it again and i got:
"Call mom on mobile"
**Did you mean -Mark**
Mark
Mom
Kathy
thats from google now.
If it activate the voice dialer directly from the bluetooth, it will call bob, mark, tim, or funniest a business name that starts with "borderview". Even after 20 tries it will not dial "mom" lol.
Alternatively, I tried dialing mark, tim, bob, and borderview directly, and after 10 tries each, they will not dial if i try to dial them, only if i try and dial mom. lol very frustrating.
Yes stock gsm JB with root. Does it only happen with your headset? If so, try a different BT headset.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It happens using a $150 bose headset, as well as a $20 plantronics.
If it don't use the bluetooth i still get terrible suggestions, such as..
"call mom on mobile"
Did you mean call tim?
Tim
Mom
Mark
wtf???
That's weird. Only thing I'd try now is flashing a different JB rom, but I can't really imagine that being the problem. Have you let someone else try it? Maybe it is you after all.
In have tried 3 different roms, and have been using the voice dialer since android 2.1 on over 10 devices. Also it works flawlessly on ISC using the same hardware. Is anyone able to successfully Bluetooth voice dial on jelly bean on a vzw gnexus?

I just flashed my Sprint Nexus to JB last night and have exactly the same problem. I hadn't tried any calling on ICS before I flashed, so I can't compare on the same phone.
I just came from an Epic 4G Touch that used Vlingo, and it was always about 95% accurate. I hate to step backwards, but I may have to switch back to that.
Why can't anyone mimic the old MS voice dial where it asked for confirmation before dialing? If I said, "Call mom on mobile", it would ask, "Call mom on mobile?" I said "Yes" and it would dial.
The way it is now goes against all safety concerns for hands-free driving. Now I have to look at the screen as it starts to dial and madly grab at the End Call button when it guesses the wrong name to call.

This makes me feel very strongly that the issue has been caused by something in the porting process. I will PM on of the devs. and see if he can reproduce it.
i am also having this problem on my CDMA nexus with JB. Everytime it's not even remotely close to properly detecting my call request.
I absolutely love the cyberon voice dialer because it works and it has verification.
Unfortunately, under JB when you press the dial button on the bluetooth headset the google now voice dialer overrides my cyberon voice dialer. The only way to make cyberon work is to completely disable google search. This completely disables all the new voice command support and google now as well.
Basically 3rd party voice dialers are no longer compatible!
No, the built in dialer is still unusable especially without verification.
For me, I've always had absolutely horrible results when using voice dial initiated from the Bluetooth earpiece (two different Jawbone Icons, three different Android phones, Eclair through Jelly Bean, official or custom ROM.)
Using voice search, Google Now, JB voice typing, or Dragon with Swype, it's perfect..

Can the long button press be changed from voice dial to voice search? (I think those are the right terms.) Voice search understands and dials much better. Plus, it sucks to be limited to just dialing from the headset.

Cyberon is awesome. I wouldn't use a voice dialer without confirmation. I don't want people calling me back because my dialer got it wrong. Sometimes this can cause serious problems. If google adds a confirmation option that's when I'll give them a serious try. I've been told even the iphone voice dialer has confirmation.

Are you both dialing through bluetooth? Honestly it hasn't got one right for me yet. Not one where cyberon is dead on.
Hi I have two issues with the GN2.
1. I use Outlook with about 1500 contacts and the voice dialing over bluetooth is very slow and seems to not be as accurate as it could be, and wastes steps in getting to where it starts dialing the call. I came from a Lumina 710 w/Windows 7.8 and there is no comparision to how well windows voice dials over bluetooth as compared to the GN2. It's almost a deal breaker and I might return within the 14 days. A good answer or remedy to make it more accurate and speed it up would help.
2. I am using "Record My Call" and it will only record the "incoming" portion of the call when calling with bluetooth, not my side, but is very clear and loud for the other person. I can record both sides of the call if I don't use bluetooth, but the recording quality is not as good. Is there any work around to get my side of the conversation recorded over bluetooth? Thanks.

Hi Rhiannon, I'm using a Plantronics Pro Voyager and it is top of the line as far as I can tell. I did receive the Lumina 810, and it is just as accurate and fast as the Lumina 710 I had before or faster in voice dailing. No comparison at all with the Note II, and I really think it has to do with the "guts" of how S voice works with all the contacts I have. I think that if a person only had a hundred or so contacts S voice might work fast and accurately, but for 1200 contacts and multiple numbers per contact, it really bogged down. Maybe next phone will be Android, but for now, I will stick with Windows. Thanks.

I have a note 1 GT-N7000 and almost never talk on my cell phone - I use my Gvoice VOIP for that with a real home phone. However, there will be times I'll need to talk on a cell phone.
Anyone have any idea if or how this might be workable on a nexus 7 lte with say, the T-mo $30 walmart plan (100 minutes a month, 5GB data)? I know that there are VOIP app options like GrooveIP but that has really sucked for me in the past. I doubt there will be a voice mic on the nexus 7 LTE but bluetooth would work. The only problem I see is there not being a native dialer?
Is this somewhat possible or is this a hopeless endeavor?

probably a lack of response as there are 2 or 3 current threads with responses in the past 24 hrs.
there is a microphone.
you can make VOIP calls via speaker method.
i installed a dialer from the playstore and could not make calls.
i installed GO SMS PRO from the playstore and SMS work perfectly.
i installed LINE & WHAT'S APP and they work fine.
my voice calling relies on skype:
OUTGOING - using on using skype Caller ID to identify my usual Australian mobile phone number
INCOMING - calls to my Australian mobile phone number are forwarded to my Australian skype number

But we cannot do a normal call. Is hardware or a software problem?
Has anyone got a native dialer to work at all?
You're not going to be able to make cellular voice calls on the Nexus 7 LTE. It doesn't have the hardware.
I'll sell you my Samsung Galaxy 7.7 if you want a giant phone, however.

But we cannot do a normal call. Is hardware or a software problem?

You're not going to be able to make cellular voice calls on the Nexus 7 LTE. It doesn't have the hardware.

It is probably not a hardware limitation. Hopefully there will be ways to get around. I love my 7.7 but the Nexus is definitely better

well today i've installed Go SMS on my N7 LTE n i was able to receive and even send SMS (real SMS through mobile carrier network, not the OTT service).
I've also tried to install Go contacts, which has a dialer to test the phone call ability but no luck, N7 didn't seem to catch the call although i could still hear bip bip through my phone (which call the N7' sim)
conclude: n7 can go texting just fine, but can't make a call. i don't know if developers can solve the latter.
