VNC server and call recorder? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

for personal reasons, I need the two functions.
I'm currently using VMLite VNC server. It works but one problem is after Nexus 5X went to sleep for a while, the VNC server does not respond to a client connection request. I would have to wake up the phone before I can connect to VNC server. That makes remote access pointless.
second problem is I have not found a call recorder that actually works on Nexus 5X. I know there is an old post but I haven't found a solution.
some apps that I have tried either fail to record the other party or give distorted voice that's unusable.
This makes me want to use an iphone again. at least Veency is very responsive always, and there is a very slick call recorder in Cydia.

Hook phone interface

Hello,
I'm building a Voip application, and I'd like to use the phone interface as my GUI.
Is it possible to catch the events when the user tries to call through the phone device?
Also when I receive a voip call, I want to display for the user a regular incoming phone call.
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks,
Emil.

Win Mobile 6.5 HTTP Calls rate limiting

Ok, so I'm developing an app that does its stuff via HTTP calls. I guess you could call it REST. Basically it's a file uploading utility, that uploads files in multiple parts (so I can monitor the progress), and does this via HTTP.
The backend works just fine, particularly since I ported the client code to a desktop test app and the uploads complete quite fast, and successfully.
The first call is a call where I get an upload ticket from the server.
From the second call on up until the one before the last, I send data.
The problem is that upon the third call (on the emulator), and the second call (on the physical device) the operation times out. So basically, if uploading from the emulator I end up with a file on the server that's the size of the send buffer, and from my phone I get a 0 byte file, since I don't get to make the second call to even upload the first part.
So here's my question: is there something in the framework that limits the number of http calls? Since the desktop client works just fine with the same backend, yet the phone seems to stubbornly refuse to work properly.
Oh, just so we're clear, I'm doing this in C# (.NET CF 2.0).
L.E.: emulator runs WM 6, phone runs WM 6.5.
Thanks in advance.
L.E.: fixed the problem. It was in my code. A stream I wasn't closing (and apparently there's a limitation on the amount of streams concurently open on a mobile device) on each call.

Sip Client for Galaxy S

Has anyone found a sip client that can read the address book in the Galaxy S? I've tried linphone and sipdroid, but no luck so far.
You can try aSip.
3CX works on the nexus one.
Does anybody knows how to extend the SIP Registration timer on SIPDroid. It looks to me it is too short (30s?). Is it possible to set it to be longer or disable it?

SIPdroid can replace the standard dialer though, so all outbound calls are SIP when SIPdroid is open. Is that appropriate (not that it matters, because all voip software seems to use the loudspeaker still).

That's the problem I'm having... all the SIP software seems to route calls through the loudspeaker. Annoying.

On the i7500, the community hacked together a special voip kernel (with audio routing or whatever) to work around this I think..
Nimbuzz also does SIP and reads the address book.
Is somebody who tried Voip Sip client from VoipSwitch ? Could be interesting since it does support G729 audio data compression algorithm.
I also managed to use at a decent level SipDroid application. Here I have a problem in the sence that when I received a call, it rings but after I answer I do not hear anything.
Some opinions please ? Thank you !
Fring?
Try Fring?
I find CSipSimple works fantastically.

[Q] Skype app?

Just a quick question, as skype is not available for the Galaxy S, can anyone recommend an alternative app?
I still want to use my skype account, and the credit on that to make calls, mainly to france.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Nimbuzz can use skype accounts (as well as a lot of others...)
I suggest to give it a try
regards

http://www.nimbuzz.com/
Thanks.
It seems like the best option, but can I make skype-out calls with it using my skype credit?
you can also use Fring which supports Video Calling over IP
I'm still looking for one that will allow me to chat via video with pc skype users.
Thanks guys. I'll give these a try tomorrow.
Why can't Skype just make a proper app for Skypeout, eh
There was a android version out, but limited to some mobiles, providers and just USA i think..
Dunno why no skype app is available for us..
Skype blocked Fring.
Nimbuzz works on SGS and supports Skype out... Few bugs but ok to use.
And that's it, nothing else for skype available at the moment
I use Nimbuzz but like others mentioned it is pretty buggy.
Searching will find 'com.skype.android.lite.apk'
Haven't tried it, but it is available.​
so Apple's Facetime is somewhat unique since we can't do Video calling over IP on the SGS
Thanks guys. Now using Nimbuzz, found my Skype credit, now testing over the weekend
Edit: Crap, the calls go through, ring, but when the person on the other end picks up, there is silence at both ends. Any ideas?
We can't do video chat using Google Chat? I'm surprised!
for moment whe can use iMovicha ... this program allow video chat also with client pc or with other phone with the same program instaled .. but , whe miss fring or some version skype for android
I wonder when someone creates a facetime compatible app (either on PC or android or any other device).
Would be great..
And why skype isnt able to make a new androidversion is also a good question..

[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.
Almost

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.
