Had SIPDROID installed to setup forwards to my GV number using internet only.
Only problem is the echo back is terrible. I have heard it and it's noticable.
Anyone have a solution to get the echo down?
CM7-59 ROM - Built in SIP client - Not much else installed.
BAMP
CM7-61
Just for information is anyone else trying to use SIP only with PBXES and GV?
If you are, are you experiencing any problems?
I never noticed an echo when I used Sipdroid but I had all the gains set to medium. Have you tried using the built in SIP stack instead of Sipdroid?
Yes, yes I have. The problem seems to be that the echo is on the callers end. I have confirmed this with SIPDROID, CSIPSIMPLE, LinPhone and the built in SIP stack.
I have tried different compression techniques as well as different bitrates. I have also adjusted the in call audio speaker all the way down and it does not seem to matter.
What ROM is it that you are using?
Have you tried grooveip I use that on wifi and have not had any issues with echoing.

No I have not, I will check it out though. It's worth a shot.
[EDIT] For $5 they can keep it. If it works that would be one thing, if it doesn't then that is a different story.
Well there is a pirate copy of it you could use to test it. And then find out if you would wanna buy it. I did that and loved it and find it to be worth the money. The updates always add new things and fixs.

Sipdroid was giving me strange hangs and forced closes on the stock dialer activity... I found it very strange. Since then I've been using Fringe as a SIP client... the quality is not the best but acceptable at the best. Still evaluating some more options... will post if anything works better

Thanks please do share if you find something better coz I've been facing hangs with sipdroid too with no option but to restart the phone...
Funny how such a basic smartphone feature is so tricky to setup...but that's android for you!! Gives you a geeky kind of satisfaction if you're able to get something running!! :-D

I found SipDroid not too good on X10, maybe because the 1.6?
fring is OK but not too clear. The other option is 3CX phone, it's clear but it drops voice. I tried on my home asterisk box but not pbxes.org, maybe TCP connection will make some different.
fring skype calls echoes like insane....
Got the same Problems .........
No SIP client is working on the X10! I tried many of them i.e. Sipdroid, Fringe, Nimbuzz, FritzApp and so on..........
The results are the same! No SIP client is working solid. I get force closed, phone crashes or just awesome bad voice quality....
I realy was thinking that this was caused by the 1.6 Firmware.
So 2.1 is out now and i try it again.
The Result: Still crashes and phone hang ups! SO WTF?
It wasnt about the 1.6 Firmware so what is wrong with the X10?
It looks like that there is no option to use any SIP Droid with it?
Is anybody out there who can confirm a running SIP client on a X10 with satisfying result?
I have never heard about and i realy want to use VOIP. There must be a way........
Actually Fring with 1.6 was only usable with the stock (wired) headphones. Using the phone's mic directly would cause really loud feedback and the people on the other end would complain about how loud of an environment I was in (despite being dead silent).
With 2.1, there is some delay or echo problems but at least the feedback is GONE so it IS at least somewhat usable.
Haven't tried any of the other VOIP apps yet but I can confirm that Fring was improved substantially!
Mh.........
So i was giving it another try.
I installed Fring on 2.1 and made a test call to my parents.
I was using 3G and called into Landline Number.
The result:
Fring is not useable.
The Voice was distorted and tinny.
The Echo was huge. My dialog partner got echoed back everything he says.
So realy not USEABLE and no improvements here.
It makes me realy sad.
On my N97 the VOIP was build in into the firmware! Was was working great. Such a shame again about that SE......
I have following so far
Application Call Quality
Fring - Somewhat better with old apk, new update doesn't work
Acrobits - Somewhat ok, usable
Linphone - Force Close
3CX - No Sound
csipsimple - hit or miss..doesn't work always
Does anybody know any softphone which work on Atrix consistently ?
I use VIOP account to make calls on wifi as well as 3g and facing lot of issues.
Search for line 2 voip. Should come up with line two. I haven't tried on my Atrix yet but I use it on my ipad. I think its a 30 day trial. Then buy.

Look for Groove IP. You will need a Google Voice Account though, but you get to make and receive free calls through Wifi or 3G. I don't know how to configure it for 3G since I only use it with wifi. I hope someone else can help you with this one.
+1 GrooveIP.
I've tried GrooveIP but it seems like people hear themselves better than they hear me..
>__>
Have not used it on my Atrix, but Sipdroid used to be my fav. Use it with PBXes and use any provider to do anything.
I've been running Alpha 3 of CM7 on my touchpad for the past few weeks. All in all I'm a fan and have been using it as my primary OS for the touchpad.
Getting GrooveIP to work would be the coup de grace for me as being able to take and place phone calls on it has been the one thing missing. Running Groove IP I can hear the other side for a second or two and then it just goes quiet. People on the other end say that can't hear anything from me.
Just curious if others have figured out a way around this (or if I've been an idiot). A search wasn't helpful.
No probs here
anything in particular with how you have it setup? are you using echo cancellation?
Figured out how to keep hearing audio from the other end.
Go to Settings --> Troubleshooting --> "Wifi Tablet", and make sure it's checked. Also make sure "Synchronize Voice" is checked.
still working on getting the mic to work
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7576-call-text-on-touchpad-with-google-voice/
apparently the mic not working is a known issue still.
dj4enzik, were you able to find a fix to this?
Received a reply back from SNRB Labs
The fix would have to come from the CM rom. From the logs I looked at it looked like the audio driver wasn't working properly.
lame
Works fine on mine..Let me check and see how my setting s are and I will post back!!
You can make free calls with Google Voice, and a PBX server. It's really easy to install PBXinaflash on an older computer, or run it in a virtualized environment. Check out this tutorial here. For more reliability you can purchase a DID from voip.ms or Vitelity. For 4 dollars a month you can make as many outbound/inbound calls as you want -- voip.ms only. Vitelity is 4 dollars a month for unlimited inbound. I'm currently using a Vitelity DID for inbound calls, and a GV trunk to make outgoing calls for free. Media5-Phone works really well as a SIP client. I have found that the function built into Android does not work as well as some SIP applications. I really suggest building a PBX server over using a service such as Groove IP.

Anything special to report about your settings? I used the instructions described earlier to get audio working. I also tried changing the microphone setting to "standard mic", but it still isn't working.
Hey guys hoping someone can help me out here. Im looking for an app similar to the blackberry feature that automatically uses wifi for voice calls instead of your cell phone when your wifi network is detected. I need it to use my cell number not a new number. Ive seen a ton of voip and sip apps but no mention of the feature im looking for in the description. Thanks guys.

As far as I know, Verizon has not yet implemented this function, only Tmobile.

GrooveIP has various settings to control when WiFi is used and when the mobile network is used. It will also use mobile data for calls and works with a Google Voice number.
I use Sipdoid and/or Fring, although the whole process is a bit complex if you want truly "free" Voip.
Talkatone is what I've used and uses google voice. Always worked better then all other ones I've tried and easiest to set up.
Has anyone successfully used a SIP account on SIII?
Yes all the time...
Which app are you guys using? Anyone use native sip app which is within android? I tried using native but I noticed how during the call you cannot use the keypad. For example, after initial call connects, and the other side says - for technical support press 1, then the keypad doesn't work since the call is already connected. Anyone having this issue?
A how-to would be great...

I think I know what you mean.
You actually get the keypad, but no DTMF tone being sent to the other end, right?
I was going to suggest sipdroid but seems like sipdroid also have the same issue.
weird.

That is correct.
I ended up buying BRIA app for $10 and a codec for another $10. This is actually working good
