installed fring on couple Aria's
it appears to want to use a source (had no contacts at all) so I allowed it to load list of contacts from google voice
now, when I use it, it only calls the google voice contact but I would like to enter a fring userid who has fring installed, can't seem to find option how to enter?
example: someone else is on fring with userid "fring_12345" - how do I tell fring to open a chat or call to that person? the fring_12345 is also another Aria user.

Hi Guys,
I have updated the device to TnT 2.0, thanks to the develoeprs and XDA forum. However, I am facing an issue in terms of calling over WiFi. Are calls over Skype, Fring or Nimbuzz working? Neither me nor a person whom I am calling can hear over Skype even thought the call connects smoothly in Skype. In Fring I here the jittery noise and no voice communication exchange possible.
Are you guys facing the same issue? Any fix for this ?
Thanks really appreciate all the help.
Regards,
Neil
Skype is working for sure, with the usual quality. My jawbone just took a sh!t so I can't say for sure that you can hear the party you're calling. But they can hear me, so I'm pretty confident that all is well.
Skype works it just mutes on first dial so you gotta unmute first.
FWIW at least on sipdroid and the built-in speaker, I cannot hear the other party during a call. However, they can hear me. I haven't tried skype yet though.

VOIP calls on G-Tablet with Sipdroid + Google Voice
After weeks of trying different apps to be able to make and receive calls on the G-Tablet I've had success. (Rooted G-Tab running TnT Litev3.1.0, Android 2.2)
The info is from a post I came across at http://androidforums.com/android-applications/252222-google-voice-pbxes-org-sipdroid-free-calls.html.
The poster references the following blog which also has some helpful information for setting up correctly:
http://blog.kylehasegawa.com/google-voice-voip-on-android-just-got-a-lot-easier-with-pbxes-peering
Read through it but basically it is:
Get a google voice number and then install google voice app on G-Tablet
When you are in google voice on your computer click on "settings" and then the "phone" tab. Make sure that "Google Chat" has a check mark to the left of it indicating that it is a forwarding option. If it is not listed there, you need to enable Google Chat which you can do in Gmail (it's an option on the left side of your inbox).
Install sipdroid (free in market)
Run sipdroid and click the link at the bottom that says new PBX linked to my google voice
Verify your google voice account email is correct and enter your google voice password. Then enter a pbxes.org password which can be anything you want it to be.
Once you do that, pbxes and sipdroid will auto configure everything else.
To make calls you will need to use a headset plugged into your GTablet in order to hear your caller. My experience is that on the GTablet side I could hear the caller perfectly. They could hear me well, but there was a slight echo where they would hear themselves after they spoke.

I realize this post is a bit old but it was all I could find so I thought I'd try and get an answer anyways...
So I followed the instructions above and it worked great. After, I installed another dialer app (stupid) which didn't work so I uninstalled it. Afterwards, GV no longer worked. I uninstalled and reinstalled with no luck so I uninstalled sipdroid.
After reinstalling that, I no longer had the option to auto config. When I click the button and put in a new PBX name, I get a message stating that the trunk is already in use. I attempted to configure manually but when I put in the user name and password I originally typed it doesn't appear to log into the server and I get a 'Mobile network not available' error.
I can't seem to remove all the previous sipdroid connections and I can't find any folders to delete after uninstalling it. I've cleared data but when reinstalling the app, I am no longer asked for my google voice number and the web site doesn't help much with manual configuration.
I created another google voice account but even after I reinstall GV and configure it using the new number, the SIPDROID still tells me the old VG account name. I assume it pulls it from elsewhere in the system.
So can anyone tell me how to manually configure this thing or how to remove all the previous sipdroid settings so I can start from scratch?

Well, when I bough Defy I did not mean Fring would not work on it. Other sided, just dont hear me. And I am not only one with that problem. It dont work on stock 2.1, then I upgraded on nordic 2.2, still no go.
Can somebody tell me if Fring is working on cyanogen mod 7? It is latest one 3.0.1.5 version. And previous one too.
I tried to install CSipSimple but I just could not add SIP contact or add SIP to existing contact. And this CSipSimple supposed to be the best.
Can somebody please point me into right direction how to somehow end all this trouble with voip. Now I am using skype but it is so bloated that I need to actually kill it with ANOTHER program to stop draining battery, memory and data.
Your thoughts. Anybody... sorry for bad lang..
Yes, fring 3.0.1.5 has corrected the voice path, but only if you call (or answer) through the phone' speaker (or speakerphone) only. Still mic issues (i.e. no voice at all) on BT headsets.
EDIT: I've spoken too soon! For no aparent reason, the mic detection has stopped working. I have rebooted my phone, then deinstalled and reinstalled fring, to no avail. So, fring keeps being incompatible with the Defy!
Oh, about adding SIP to contacts, perhaps you'd take what follows as a workaround: you, most probably, know that you can add filters to the the accounts you have registered on your CSipSimple application. Run it and tap 'Menu > Settings > Filters', and select the account you want to add fillters to. Then, tap 'Add filter / rewrite rule'. On the 'Can't call' dropdown menu, select 'Rewrite'. I'll tell you how I have set my callcentric account, which might give you an idea how it works. Well, all my contacts are stored with the national prefix and carrier selection code. So, one rule says 'Starts with 021 replace match by +55'. A 2nd one says 'Start with 1777 Prefix by sip:' and the last one 'Starts with 1777 Suffix with @callcentric.com' (all callcentric numbers start with 1777). Hope you can find patterns on your contacts database which might be used as filters.
You see, I like CSipSimple (I use the latest released dev trunk version). The only glitch I find there is that their bluetooth headset implementation is still pretty buggy.
Just my 2 cents...

Carlos
I'm wondering if its possible to receive calls on touchpad? I pay $2 a month for Skype number. I also got the google voice app that's in prepare. But when I call either number it won't go through. Is there anyway to receive calls so maybe I can get rid of cell phone plan?
I've used Skype, so I know it should work. You must be doing something wrong.
u can receive skype calls but i believe if you keep the device off for too long it automatically signs you off of skype..to avoid that i guess open up the messaging app and then make urself "available" after a while.
as far as the "google voice app that is in prepare" not sure what ur are talking about ???? but could you elaborate because i'm looking for a google voice app rather than having the use the google.com/voice website for most of my sms's
im pretty sure he means google talk, not google voice. in gingerbread, with the right apk or phone, you can make video calls with google talk.
theres a google voice app.
Download the webos quick install and press the globe icon on the right. Once that loads just seach google voice and its there. Its nothing great, defiantly wish there was something better but its better than nothing.
Regarding skype....i cant recieve calls on it. I can call out fine but when i try to have someone else call me from their cell phone it wont happen.
hmm havent had anyone call me from their phones just a skype to skype call so not sure if that would make any difference.
and gonna check out that google voice app right now
I have gotten Skype to work both ways but I can't start a video call. The option is there but won't start

I did not see an app called google voice. I did find an app called P2Google Voice in the HP App Catalog, but I had no luck in making phone calls (it seems to be for the handset only).
If there was a Google Chat plug-in for webOS browser then we could make/receive calls in the touchpad. Or if there was a app to setup a sip account the touchpad one could make/receive calls.
P2GoogleVoice has been discontinued, so it won't work at all.
The only current app in the catalog is GV Text, which I have heard does not work either.
So, our only hope may be Linphone, which was being worked out by webosinternals:
Here's the wiki: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Application:Linphone
Here's the official discussion page: http://forums.precentral.net/webos-internals/274615-linphone-alpha-testing.html
and here's the link to install the package (but does not work on touchpad yet): http://bit.ly/linphone-0-1-8-pre
Thanks avinyc, I will keep an eye on Linphone yes it does not work on the touchpad
anyone have any luck getting a video call working?
any suggestion on how to use google talk or yahoo messenger on touch pad not as a chat but for voice
free skype
just got a Skype # today (use the discounts) and added it to my GV forwarding #s...works great. I emailed Skype customer service and they confirmed that no calling credit is used for incoming calls to your Skype #...so I assume no credit is needed if you use as callback to call out. Now all we need is a half decent GV app for the touchpad....even a modified browser may work...anyone?
Hi,
When i try to make a call of the standard contact dailer on my S2 with icecream, the phone want to make a paid skype call, and no voip call.
Does someone has an solution for that?
It would help to know the country you are located and your service provider.
I'm not familiar with skype but I know VoIP can be blocked by your operator. If that's the case then you probably need a VPN connection (just google) to make free VoIP calls.
I have t-mobile in the netherlands. But when i open skype, i can make normal voip calls, but not from the dailer. it is not very usefull to always have to open skype first.
skype is also logging off in a while. thats also very strange
no solution?
"but not from the dailer"
which dialer u mean about it? skype's or the phone's? if you make calls from skype's dialer, then ofc, u have to pay for it. just like dialing from the phone's dialer. the differences beetwen the two method is the company who gets ur money. (if u use 3g, then both of them get money )
if u want to make a voip call then click on the green call icon - in the skype contact list - next to the person's name, and that's all. Note, that it will only be voip, if the person who called has a skype account too, just like you, and NOT a ordinary phone number associated his/her account.
i the skype dialer you are referring, it will use your skype credit and be sure you are connected on wifi..
or if you want try the "Viber" app
consider this: do you use "dialer" when you make VoIP calls on Skype thru your PC? i dont think so. same goes for mobile app. you choose whom to call from your online contact list, not dial a number. if you dial a number, naturally you're calling a "number." However, when you make VoIP calls, you're actually connecting with the "username" of your contact.
Hope that helped!

umm if you're calling Skype contact, you need to open Skype, just like you need to open FB Messenger to chat with your FB friend, or any other messenger app for the same purpose. Your Skype contacts reside inside the Skype app.
to solve the logging off issue, you can try uninstalling and then reinstalling, or upgrade (if such is available)
Cheers
Hi,
I have all my Google contacts logically split into groups ie work, friends, family etc.
What I'd like to do is be able to leave the phone on after work and be able to divert all work calls to voice mail for example.
Is there a way to do this on the phone natively ?
TIA,
Arfer
Not possible to send to voicemail at selected times natively.
Think I've not been clear enough.Want I'm after is to be able to have groups go to voicemail while other groups work normally ie the phone rings
Cheers,
Arfer
The best anyone has suggested to me is this:
Mr. Number
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...i5ibG9ja2VyIl0.
This doesn't do what I want as it means making whitelists / globally all contacts as filters.
it's along the right lines but is no longer being developed and not for use Gingerbread onwards.
Can't believe this most obvious and helpful of functions is not available or that people aren't hollering out for it.
Everyone of my friends I've asked about this all once I've explained it are amazed it's not available.
Why have groups within Google contacts unless they provide useful functionality ?
