Is there any way to get traditional video calling in our xperia phones(like galaxy s)...?
Nope, Android doesn't have support for it, so it isn't possible yet.
Only possibility is via an app, that both sides need to have.
But Galaxy S has the videocall, so why it's so impossible to have the umts videocall in android?
Maybe there was some app used to make video call?
Mate, we are talking of native umts videocalling, not ip one like gtalk or skype...
will porting the dialer and telephony provider app from galaxy s would make it possible...?

I'm not sure, but it will require specific modules and drivers also to use the front camera.
what a shame! the issue was opened in android in 2010 but yet not fixed..
only samsung managed to add this feature to their fone which is natively supported by all 3g supporting front cam feature fones..
and strangely no developer has yet ported it from samsung

Just use Google Voice in combination with GrooveIP. Download both those apps from the marketplace. Very easy to use and set up.
thank you for the tip. already tested and working, but i was talking about enabling the native voip built in that is supposed to be in the gingerbread 2.3.4 because i want to be able to pick the voip provider i like, international rates using google voice are not so cheap.
Hi,
I am trying use talkonaut for my gtalk2voip on my new Samsung Galaxy S II running on android 2.3.3
What i have noticed is that although i am able to place a call, the other party cannot hear my voice whereas I can hear them quite clearly. I think this related to
Android Os 2.3.3 only. As my sister who has Samsung wave running on android 2.2 and my wife who is having Xperia Mini running on Os 2.1 are able to make calls without any problem.
Any ideas ?
Please dont suggest to use some other voip service, as i am living in UAE and voip services are as such almost bannned here.... Besides gtalktovoip is the cheapest voip i have known so far, I have tried to use Nimbuzz, fring etc, to login into google talk so that i can use gtalk2voip.... but they dont seem to work at all..
vbuzzer, skype are all too costly...
try flashng a 2.3.4 rom to see if that fixes the problem.
I am using GalnetMIUI and using the 2.3.5 version. Even i face the same problem and i think it is because UAE is blocking some port.
To overcome the problem i use Gtalk Voice Chat feature using gtalk2voip.
Hi,
Did you get a solution to your problem? I recently got the S2 and seem to face the exact same problem. Im living in UAE too. My friend who is using the same software on his iPhone 3 seems to have no issues at all. Please do let me know.
Cheers!

I am trying to use gtalk2voip in my new Samsung S 3 using talkanout but it gives an error message of some XMPP service problem!!
We can hear that Samsung will launch ICS for S2 on 1st of march.
But until today each leak from Samsung ICS does not have bluetooth SIM Access Profile (rSAP) .
I tested each leaked version from the first XXKP8 to the last XXLPB but none of them has SAP support built in.
Does Samsung stop supporting this bluetooth feature?
Officialy Samsung supports it (cf: Samsung S2 specs choose table view/Conectovity/Bluetooth profiles) and all the stock rom under GingerBread that I tested are SAP compliant. But if they stop the S2 under ICS will be unusable with the premium car phone system.
For those who don't know what is SAP/rSAP I wrote a small explanation:
It is different than the bluetooth hands free service wich is an audio gateway. With hands free profile all the communications, securities and radios are done via the server (S2).
The rSAP client (car phone) is a real GSM phone (most of them can host a real SIM) so all the communications are done via the rSAP client and the radio is turned off on the server (galaxy s2) obviously because the SIM card can only be connected to one phone. The main advantage is to use a 8W GSM radio with an external antenna. Also you can spend many hours in communication without draining your smartphone battery. The main disadvantage is because the smartphone radio is off you cannot use GSM/3G services on your phone (but you are driving!).
rSAP car phones are commons in European cars.
All Nokia's and Sony-Ericson's phones with bluetooth support rSAP. Galaxy S and Galaxy S2 with 2.x.x stock ROM are supporting rSAP...
The main problem is: Google does not support rSAP and we cannot add it!
Why because even if Android is full open source, drivers from samsung are not. Modem.bin is also not opensource.
In fact for adding rSAP to AOSP (android open source project) Google must add 3 trivial functions to the RIL (radio interface layer) specifications:
taking the ownership of the sim card (obviously control the connection to the phone services)
writing APDU raw messages.
reading raw APDU messages from the SIM card
If Google decide to do that the RIL library wich is a Samsung closed source calling the closed source modem functions will have this 3 functions and next we can develop an opensource rSAP support.
Samsung did not develop their own opensource rSAP support they use Nokia's Meego implementation wich is opensource.
With Ice Cream Sandwich I hope Samsung does not stop to support rSAP...
Also I hope Google will add AOSP rSAP support wich is needing 1 day of programming. If Google does that we can have rSAP on all Android phones...

I cannot imagine (or hope) that Samsung stops the SAP support.

It is not a "real" question since it is not an "howto do something" it is a question about the futur specs of SII under ICS
I´ve just upgraded my GSII to ICS 4.0.3 (XEO) and unfortunatelly I can confirm that rsap is not supported
Edit: with app rSAP from market you can fully use your mobile in car works great
Finally Samsung stops rSAP support
Now I'm quite sure they stop the rSAP support.
I tried all the Galaxy S2 ICS roms and none have rSAP support. I've also tested the Galaxy Note ICS leaked rom and there is also no rSAP support.
I cannot understand Samsung behavior. They premium phones that cannot be connected to premium phone car kit.
Even my basic Samsung B2100 has rSAP support.
Since I went back to GingerBread hudra78 could you send me libsec-ril.so for analysing ?
Thanks
I reported this to Samsung. That is their answer:
Thanks for reporting this, we'll take a look at it and if we manage to find something, we'll let you know about a workaround.

Now rSAP support got added to LineageOS, look here.
Dose anyone know is there a way to make S3 natively support ANT+? I know S3 has the hardware to support ANT+. It requires only software side to make S3 compatible with ANT+. Android 4.3 or above has ANT+ support. However after I installed Omega AOKP 11 with android 4.3 ROM and ANT+ plugin and radio service on Google play I still couldn't connect to my ANT+ heart rate monitor which I can connect using my Note 3. If anyone knows how to make S3 to support ANT+ sensor natively without using any dongle please shed some light, thanks.

Theoretically yes, the source code is on GitHub, but you'll probably need some binaries according to the readme.

If someone could create a custom ROM that was just the official build plus ANT+ support, I think there would be quite a lot of grateful takers, myself included... Very frustrated by Samsung's omission on this - I've come here as a n00b looking for whether such a ROM exists already, but no luck yet!
Any progresso on this?

Hi,
I've got a S3 LTE. Today a made the 4.3 Update OTA.
In many blogs and boards is told about the S3 ANT+ support in this Firmware.
So i've installed the ANT service and ANT plugins, but it don't work.
The demo app told me to install the USB driver for the extern dongle, cause the Hardware is not capable to use ANT.
Is there a driver update from ANT neccessary, or what could be the problem?
StompSC
Yes, the info about ANT+ being supported on the i9300 (non-LTE S3) was incorrect. I assume it's the same for the S3 LTE.
If the update had included ANT+, the ANT+ radio service would already be installed. You are able to download these fron Google Play to enable you to use a usb dongle.
I believe they haven't included an ANT+ driver, which is why you can't use the hardware that is included in the phone. It's the same situation that we had previously with BTLE (hardware there, but no driver), but they included the driver in the 4.3 update for that, so BTLE now works.
See this page for more info:
(Argh can't post url as I'm a new user. Google "dcrainmaker ANT+ s3" (without the quotes), it should be the first hit.)
