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?

So I've used google voice on my past phones, but for some reason whenever I get a voicemail on the Thunderbolt, it goes to my verizon account voicemail. I have changed it to default to google voice in the setting under call, I have set up my google voice like before. I'm not sure what else to do. I've uninstalled, changed the settings and everything like a million times too. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.
Verizon handles voicemail a bit differently. With GV you were able to set up voicemail automatically on some carriers, but for Verizon, you have to do an extra step.
Dial *71<Your Google Voice Number> and press Call. You'll hear a series of beeps and now phonecalls that go to voicemail will go to GV now.
Okay. I'll try that. Now when I switch ROMs and wipe my phone do I have to do that every time then?
Atrix4G Rooted!
Now it says please enter the number you wish to dial followed by the # sign whenever someone calls me...so I don't think it worked lol.
Atrix4G Rooted!
nevermind.
I'm having the same issue. Did you find a solution?
Call vzw there's a few other numbers you can dial I think but I can't remember them
I used *71(GV number), *90(GV number), and *92(GV number) and everything works fine. There was another thread on this a few days ago.
Ya that's them
*71 and *90 are redundant. *71 is no answer/busy forwarding (both conditions), *90 is BUSY only forwarding, so if you're using *71, *90 isn't necessary.
*92 not sure what that's supposed to do, it's not quickly found on VZW's website.
Additionally, apparently call forwarding (conditional) behavior is not the same in every VZW market. Go figure.
What about visual voicemail? It works with the Google voice app, but it does not show up under the "messaging" visual voice, even though I set it in settings to goole voice and not carier. Any ideas?

The stock Visual Voicemail app will NOT work with messages on Google Voice. They are two separate applications that cannot be linked.
Just check your messages in GVoice. Yes, this means you can't use the home screen messaging widget for voicemail, but such is life when using Google Voice.
Remember, using Google Voice takes away revenue from the carrier, since you aren't paying for their voicemail service. So they have no incentive to provide native support for it. You're pretty much on your own when you switch to GVoice.

Cool. God to know. Its not a big deal to use the Voice widget, I was just curious if I was maybe missing a setting. So its a limitation imposed by Verizon and not HTC if I read your comments correctly? Which means with a proper rom in the future I should be able to use the feature?
Your Gv voicemails are on a completely different system. I don't think it will be possible to use the built in vvm app for that ever.
Then why would they put it as an option under the Settings/Call/Voicemail options? I am not saying I don't believe you, it just seems odd to include it as an option for provider, then not use it in the app.
Oh I guess you can then. Surprise to me.
Oh wait you're talking about the phone settings. That's nothing to do with the vvm app. Thats just telling your phone what number to dial when you hold 1.
The gv app adds that option when you install it.
Hi guys,
I found an old guide on setting up Google voice to work with the gtab but it's out of date and no longer works. Any status on getting Google voice setup on Gtab for phone calls / texts? thanks!

I downloaded the .apk from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11828239&postcount=4
Sideload-installed it and it fixed it. It moves the "Skip" button when it goes to pull VM settings and lets you bypass that.
Works fine for SMS now...haven't tried to listen to a VM yet.

Thanks, I tried it but I'd like to be able to make a call/receive a call. Is that possible? Also, how are you sending an SMS from it? I can only see the list of voicemails.
I'm running vegan ginger, and just downloaded it from the market. It works fine but you need a 3rd party application like skype to make calls voip. The but texting and reading voicemails is good

You need to make sure you have a regular Google voice account and a Google voice number. There is a lite version which you can only see voicemails. You can check on the glove voice website

Seems to work ok for me - I picked a sipgate number as "this phone's number" so it skipped offering to capture vm.
VoiceMail playbacks fine, notification of VM works
SMS send works/receive notification works.
Calls... don't work (on device, anyway)
Calls don't work because we don't have a app for calls. Google voice can use skype or another similar app to call, but most aren't free

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...

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?
I would like to be able to text from my Nook. I have Google Voice and Groove IP, but dont know where to go from there.
If someone could give me.the.steps to get this going, I would really appreciate it.

You can text using google voice. You just have to create an account. You won't be able to use your phone number unless you're on sprint (or you want to pay your carrier to allow it). But if you don't mind having a new phone number for your nook than it shouldn't be hard.
Usb mikes work?
You were talking about texting. That shouldn't require a mic. Bluetooth mics should work (depending on your version of android). I haven't made a call from mine so I can't tell you whether that works.
I doubt USB mic would work, USB hosting has been activated through a hack but it's fairly limited and I'm not sure if Android even supports USB mics.
USB host thread
For texting from my Nook I run SyncSMS. You install on both your phone and your Nook and you can sync your SMS messages between the 2 devices as well as texting from your Nook using your phone number....make sense?
late,
Coz
Just to clarify - I want to text. I don't need a mic. I have a google voice acct. with a google number. I want to use it for texting. All my searching tells me to use google voice with Groove IP over wifi. But I can't find the instructions to link the two together.
@cozboogie I looked at syncSMS on the market and it has really bad reviews right now. Sounds great in theory. Hope the dev will fix the app soon.

If you have Google voice, and a Google voice number, then you can text using Google Voice without any extra software. I dont know what Groove IP is, but you do not need it.
set up Google Voice with your number, and start texting.
Well, after a series of error messages, gvoice decided to complete the set up and now I am able to text. Don't know what I did, so can't pass on info for anyone else.

Groove IP is an app that allows you to make and receive phone calls through Google Voice on a data plan/WiFi...if all you are doing is texting, dload GVoice and use that...nothing else is needed.
Groove IP always crashes my nook when I use it for phone calls. When you end the call, the screen freezes and you have to reboot! And as the person above me said, you can text using the Google voice app itself.
