Done. Give us your phone number so we can test it. :twisted:
No seriously: we focus on writing software that makes many more people happy than unhappy. Your proposed piece of software would not fall into this category.
Hi,
my number is +49.815.4711 .
No, no we need this kind of software for internal testing only,
as we are a telecommunication company.
So, please contact me by email, so we can discuss it.
Thanks in advance.

VoIP help - idiots guide please!

Hi guys - I've searched like mad and still cant find the answer so I thought I'd ask here!
I have installed Helmis VoIP.cab and the 'unavailable' has now changed to 'Service Blocked' so I think my VoIP is now operational... however... how on earth do I set it up?
I know I sound like a total dunce but it just doesn't make any sense to me at all after reading a million threads (well feels like it anyway!) i am no nearer understanding! It really doesn't gel in my brain for some reason! I guess my router is blocking something, or maybe I simply haven't set something up? I am totally lost.
Thanks so much in advance guys - you all rock (pre-groveling so I don't get moaned at for asking a silly question!)
You need to use a program called Sip config tool http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303493
that will allow you to set your sip account details (server, port, user name, password).
It also allows you to activate the SIP over 3G connections, works OK on Orange UK.
It works for me but volume is low and the indicator on the home page shows "searching" although the SIP was selected.
Excellent - used that program and woohoo - I joined VoIP Buster and apart from the fact i have no credit so the free calls wont go through it worked fine!
Thanks man!
lucky you. It didn't work for me here in Australia. I believe we have a different dial plan. I can't find any facility to change that with the SIP config.
Any Australian user that manage to get this internet calling working?
I also wonder what sorts of codecs are already provided. I don't see any facility to choose the preferred codec in the tool either.

Great I am glad it worked for you! Can you please confirm three things:
1. what VoIP actication cab did you use, I used an old Universal one which is probably not the latest or greatest.
2. can you confirm the today element works OK (ie it says "Available" and when you click on it it changes to "Selected". This is not working on my Athena although it does work on my Universal. On the Athena the selection functionality works but it just says "Searching" all the time.
3. how is your volume level? mine is very low and there is a bit of a lag even when using a WiFi connection.
Thanks in advance for your comments!

Hi eaglesteve
I managed to get VOIP working on the WM6Tmoboo1 and the AP3 rom through mynetfone.
It is a little flaky but it can work.
I am not in a 3g area but can definitely say it works over a wireless connection but I did accidentally call over a umts connection in sydney yesterday

Hi Lakeman,
Thank you for responding to my post. After seeing your success, I decided to give it another try. Previously, I dialed nnnnnnnn, 02nnnnnnnn, +612nnnnnnnn and had no success. This time,I dialed 612nnnnnnnn, and my home phone rang! I have not got my wife to pick it up as it of 1am in the morning now. Tomorrow i'll test the sound quality. I'm using pennytel. In the past I've been using sjphone client. The sound quality is okay provided I use headset. Did you try talking with the headset? It eliminates echo on the other end. Without headset, the other guy's voice from the speaker goes back to the microphone and he can hear his voice played back to him .
Thank you once again for giving me the assurance that it can work in Australia.
Edit: I'm having problems. When I called my home number, my wife picking up the call could hear me, but I could not hear a thing. Also, using the same method of calling other number does not seem to work. I'm also unable to call mobile numbers.
With Pennytel as my SIP provider, when using Sjphone, I dialed 02nnnnnnnn for landline and 04xxxxxxxx for mobile, +61 1300xxxxx for special numbers.
With the built-in VOIP, the above dialing method seems to work differently. I thought that dialing 612nnnnnnnn for landline would work as the phone actually rang, but it does not really work fully. Dialing 04xxxxxxxx basically kick the phone application out. If I dial 0011612xxxxxxxx and 0011614xxxxxxxx, my phone shows that it is connected, but I can't hear a thing from the other side. I don't know if the other side could hear me.
Anyone using Pennytel in Australia who manage to get it working? I think I would try to work with Pennytel to sort this out.
Edit: Pennytel's help desk know next to nothing about this. Amazing how they could run a VOIP company.
Anyway, looks like WM6 only supports g711 and gsm codec. My VOIP provider uses G723 and 729 and gsm. I'd have to find ways to switch the codec to gsm to see if it works. Found this post which outlines the registry edit in order to add gsm codec and to switch between g711 and gsm for those of you interested:
QUOTE Sleuth255
Make these Registry changes / additions
hklm\comm\rtc\codec
UsePreferredCodec DWORD=1
PreferredAudioCodec DWORD = 0 or 3 (3 = gsm, 0 = g711)
hklm\Comm\RTC\ACM\GSM
hklm\Comm\RTC\ACM\GSM\PayloadType DWORD = 3
hklm\Comm\RTC\ACM\GSM\FrameDuration DWORD = 20
hklm\Comm\RTC\ACM\GSM\CodecRank DWORD = 1
hklm\Comm\RTC\ACM\GSM\UseHealer DWORD = 1
hklm\Comm\RTC\ACM\GSM\Driver String = gsm610.acm
hklm\Comm\RTC\ACM\GSM\WaveFormat\FormatTag DWORD = 49
hklm\Comm\RTC\ACM\GSM\WaveFormat\Channels DWORD = 1
hklm\Comm\RTC\ACM\GSM\WaveFormat\SamplesPerSec DWORD = 8000

hklm\Comm\RTC\ACM\GSM\WaveFormat\BitsPerSample DWORD = 0
hklm\Comm\RTC\ACM\GSM\WaveFormat\bSize DWORD = 2
credit to stevehead for these
Once after adding all above settings, only changing the following setting will be enough to change between GSM and g711 :
hklm\comm\rtc\codec\
PreferredAudioCodec DWORD = 0 or 3 (3 = gsm, 0 = g711)

As for dial plan, Shaun33, the author of SIP Config tool, promise this will be in the next version. This should save me the headache of having to put in all the prefix in front of my phone numbers.
Hi eaglesteve
I dialed my voip number to check ie 02401nnnnn
I also dialled my mobile phone number for fun but of course the feedback was terrible.
only trouble was dialling again shortly afterward was diverted to my voip voicemail but that is a problem with the voip provider
I have also used sjphone with no problems or lag from japan to aus (with my jamin and old hp6365)
cheers

Hi lakeman,
No success for me. Sip Conf Tool, I can't hear the person although he can hear me. Also, the echo is too loud for the other person, although his voice has not gone out of my speaker phone and fed back into the microphone.
I made the registryedit in my precious post, but in the process, lost the ability for the other party to hear me as well.
I then changed my voip config tool to this one. The tool's interface is better, and it has a dial plan editing page. But I still can't hear each other, although the phone rang and is shown to be connected.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070
Now I've reverted back to Sjphone, which gives much better voice for the other side,and I can hear the other party very clearly. Sjphone has more codecs than wm6 so naturally gives better voice quality. It also has the ability to define the voice letter below which the microphone will not transmit (good in cutting off background noise and reduced echo) with its audio wizard. These facilities are yet to appear on both the two voip config tools that are available on xda forum.
The only drawback of sjphone is its wm2003 outdated interface, not it works much better than wm6 voip client.
steve There is a WM5 version of SJphone that looks better but I can't remember where I found it.
If I do I will try and upload it or link it.

If you can find a working WM5 version, that would completely remove the need for WM6 VOIP client. I look forward to it.
Hey steve I found it
I am not sure about the legality of it as it was beta software
but here it is

Thanks lakeman for this. Appreciate your help and time very much.
After installing it, I notice the interface and screen looks exactly the same as the older version. No new skin for wm5. There is still a gap below when using it in 128dpi. Is this what you have too?
Regards.
steve I had this installed on a tmobilewm6 without realvga so I can't answer you
I haven't had time to play with this on my wifes Ameo with AP3
When I got my jamin over 18 mths ago i never tried to install the WM2003 sjphone so can't comment on how it differed

Sprint Touch Pro Dialer

This dialer is really aweful considering there is no smart dial..
plus you cant tap the contact and have their numbers popup so you can choose which you want to call.
these are basics of wm and i dont have these features. I love the phone and it's features, but smart dial is extremely important to me and im sure to others as well.
is there something i can do to replace the dialer?
help if you can
Thank you
There is Smart Dial on my Sprint Touch Pro. The thing that bothers me is everytime you touch a name under the dialer it automatically starts calling them. I would like it to go to the contact so you can pick which number to call.

You have to click on the input bar at the very top of the screen before you touch a name. This will search instead of dial.

Use your D-pad to scroll through the numbers, press Left or Right after you see the name.
Possible threadjack...
...How do you input extra numbers to be dialed after the phone number, i.e., to dial a pause and your password for instance).
I thought it was "," but that didn't work. And for short numbers like traffic "511" plus the highway, I put in 511,4951 and it converts it to 511-4951.
^^ the letter p is for pause and w is for wait ^^

Too bad you can't make the input bar a little bigger, I find it hard to tap the input box without using the stylus. Most times I can tap everything with my finger but that input box always messes me up.
I use the Sprint Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) feature almost exclusively now to dial numbers from my Contacts. Regardless of what Sprint calls it, it's Microsoft Voice Command and it works quite well. There's no training and you don't have to record voice tags. It just works
It even works well with a Bluetooth headset. Just tap the answer/call button on the headset and tell your phone who to dial. If there's more than one number for the contact, it will ask which one to dial. I rarely take my phone out of the holster to make a call.

Yeah, I dial everyone with it unless there's too much background noise. I LOVE it.
You can also tell it to start programs by saying "Start " then the program name, OR, you can tell it to play media files by saying the same thing. You can even ask it for the date and time and your battery level. I never even really knew how good it was until I used it. Not one review I read talked about it.
i dont think you guys understand what i am saying... i owned the xv6800 for 2 years and the i760 also... smartdial does work on the touch pro but when you hit the number with your finger it calls that number.. with the xv6800 and i760 you tap and hold and all the contact info comes up in a little popup and you tap the number you want to call..
as for the dpad.. the dpad takes alot to get use to..it's too easy to make mistakes using the dpad.
i brought back the original dialer through the reg and it still did not help. htc has completely taken over the os with their proprietary software. not too smart on their end. i have also disabled the touch flo and you get the same ugly white dialer.
Just read!
And the answer you were given in this thread is that when you see the number in your call history, you use your d-Pad to scroll through the numbers in your directory and when you see the one you want you hit enter and your phone will "F"-ing dial it. Can you not read?

In my dialer, it has a Contacts button in the lower left corner. If you use that, then it works the way you describe: click a contact and then you can pick which number you want to use. Doesn't everyone have this?
I agree with the OP. I would like to have smart dialer access Contacts so that I can quickly pull up someone's full contact info and then decide which number to call. I also try to avoid using the D pad because it isn't 100% accurate (or at least not for me) and I have had trouble dialing the wrong number or person inadvertently.
Trying to use the current Contacts option isn't very finger friendly for me.
Update - I just used Advanced Config to turn off the dialer skin, and now I have what I was looking for. At least with Sprint, the basic dialer has smart dial that allows you to tap a contact and it brings up the persons contact info, rather than just dialing their default number. I'm going to give this a try for a while.
I use Spb's Mobile shell to do as you describe.

QWERTY stuck on compact, wont change to Full
I have been doing some tweaking to my phone and after adding the black dialer, my QWERTY that displays with messages is the compact and not the full anymore. I have tried to change it in the Today section but it keeps reverting back to the compact style. I have not been able to locate the cab file to delete it. Any help would be great, thanks I should specify, I am using the touch pro

[Q] Contact with multiple Mobile Numbers

Bluetooth Voice Dialing Problems

I have been having trouble with my Note i717 voice dialing over Bluetooth. I pair it to my Pioneer DEH-P710BT care stereo, transfers phonebook and works when dialing with phone manually or by selecting name on deck.
My problem is with the voice dialing from the deck. I say the name but it keeps selecting a wrong name/number for each name I say. It will have the same wrong name for one name that I say, no matter how many times or clear I say it. It will give a different wrong name for another name that I say. I have tried saying last name before first name as well and it still doesn't select the right name. It feels like its just translating it wrong into text since it keeps selecting the same wrong name for each specific contact???
I had the same problem with my Nexus S. The exact same setup works fine with my Galaxy S2 i9100, HTC Nexus one and LG GW620. They all call the correct name.
-I have no lockscreen lock or password
-I have tried google voice search and Vlingo as default voice input
-Listen via Bluetooth is selected in Vlingo (tried without selected as well)
-Phone & Media profile are selected in the bluetooth settings for the deck
I am hoping there is a fix and its not some compatibility issue with certain samsung phones and my Pioneer deck. So far only 1/3 of my samsung phones work.
Anyone else have this problem? Ideas? thanks
How did you change between voice search and Vlingo as the default voice input? I have similar problems with voice dialing on a number of android phones and I'd like to try some other programs to see if it's a software fixable issue, but I can't get the phone do launch anything but Vlingo.

Settings/Voice input and output/Voice input/Voice recognition
I have the Rogers Canadian SGH-I717R.
Changing that setting on the AT&T version does nothing, unfortunately....vlingo always picks it up. Oh well, was worth a shot since I've had better luck with cyberon voice commander.
Same issue here. At first I thought it was my car 2012 Hyundai Sonata. Deleted contact list out of the car a couple of times and tried pairing multiple times. The GNote pairs fine but gets the wrong name frequently.
Mine gets the wrong contact all of the time.
Doesn't anyone else have this problem?
Sure...had that since my first Android handset. So I started using Cyberon, which works better and has a confirmation mode (since I got tired of Android ringing up some bagel shop in Hoboken every time I tried to call my mom - I live in California BTW), but the Note doesn't offer the ability to have the bluetooth multi-function button start any app other than Vlingo, which doesn't meet my needs because it doesn't work through the phone lock screen when my phone is suspended.
If I'm going to have to pull the phone out of my pocket, unlock it, and then voice dial, what's the point.
WM6.5 had this functionality working beautifully in about 2007.

Odd... are you saying you can't voice dial thru your car's BT without physically unlocking the phone?
I can voice dial just fine (locked & unlocked) on mine through the Ford Sync in my car.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
Are you screen locked or password locked? I haven't tried it in my car yet (don't really need to as my car can read the phone book and I can dial by touch), but Vlingo will not respond to my bluetooth headset at all when the phone is PIN/password locked.
