[Q] Low call volume using Voip-apps with Xperia Sola - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Hello there,
I just got my Xperia Sola and wanted to use it for Voip calls using mobile voip. But the microphone volume is just too low for the opposite to properly understand me.
So I tried a bunch of other Voip apps, including the build-in one, Skype, and CsipSimple.
Always with the same issue, except that I can amplify the mic in CsipSimple, but this way the audibility is not much better since there is lot of noise.
Normal GSM calls work excellently, I also use the same internet connection and Voip Provider with my SIP landline phone or Notebook, and it always works perfectly. Mobile Voip also tells me I have excellent Network quality.
Is there any way to fix that or is it just something a Xperia Sola owner has to live with?
I have heard its a general android issue for pre 3.0 android phones. So there is hope it might work with the upcoming ICS update? If not what other similar phone would you recommend that definetly works? I was also thinking about getting an Xperia U or S instead since I still have time to return my sola but wonder if its not a general Sony xperia Issue.
Thanks for any reply in advance!

update:
So I was trying it again and now see that the error is a simple one, still dont know how to fix it though.
If I use any VOIP app, not regular handset mic is used but the one on the back of the phone, that is i guess meant for videorecording. So if i turn the phone around and talk in there, the person on the other side can hear me just fine...
anyone else maybe ever tried any voip app with the sola and knows if this is a general issue or just a bug in my sola?
Also... maybe anyone an idea how to fix that, some hidden setting in Android system maybe?

This thread should have been started in the Q & A section, kindly post in the relevant section next time. Thread closed.

Use your GPlayer as a regular Cell Phone

A few days ago I bought a device called GMATE ($80), a type of smallcell without display or keyboard which is inserted a normal simcard and communicating via Bluetooth to the Samsung Galaxy Player, which means an application is integrated with android, receiving and making phone calls, and SMS, in addition to allowing internet access GPRS.
It's a perfect combination that increases the possibilities of Our Player
IPhones must be jailbroken, a repo is added to Cydia, and then the Gmate app is installed for the integrated Gmate functionality. How does this work in Android?
In GooglePlay you can download a Gmate aplication that integrates the gadget with your android player (also convert your android phone in a double sim phone) and uses android phone's features like dialer, contacts, or any thirtd party aplication likes rocket Dial.
Received and Make calls don´t need special features, if you uses the Gprs/edge to internet (in places with no WIFI) need to be rooted.
The application is not compatible with my U.S. 5.0 Player.

Go to skyroam webpage and ask for a .apk file, i have Intl 5.0 and working great, sometimes any aplication in GooglePlay seems to be incompatible for my SG player but, on a external apk source works fine.
Dutch 5.0
Thank you for the info! I will definitely buy one if it works in The Netherlands.
That does look interesting.
Anyone using it with the USA version?
Is there something similar that i can connect it to my player or to put it in the galaxy player? So this wey i dony have to worry if i get out of 10 neters or jf i fodget it at home

Wow, wonderful find. I was looking for exacly something like this. Unfortunately, With ICS CM9 installed on my GP5 Bluetooth doesn't work =( (neither does the camera or hardware acceleration. They really need to fix that.)
So I can make phone calls/sms without having wifi?

With the Gmate app, can your SGP connect to a regular cell phone with bluetooth or it can only connect to the Gmate?

Gmate only.. I tried it with my other android phone and it doesn't work.
I came further when I changed my phone's Bluetooth id to "Gmate". It didn't connect because of a password failure
It's seems good
I don't quite understand... So besides buying the Gmate, would i need a sim card as well? secondly so would i practically be using a sim card with a data plan to use with gmate? but wouldnt that defeat the purpose of just using a smart phone with a card in it?.... these are all continuation Q's if the first is a yes lol.
This seems like a stupid question, but I'll ask anyway. How well does the device actually work? Does it keep a connection throughout the day, sending and receiving text messages without too much delay? I'm considering using this to replace my old dumbphone, but I'd rather not plunk down a sizable chunk of change with little indication as to how well this thing actually works.
Gmate calling speaker sound
Question: Does the sound come out of the front speaker while calling?
(I don't like to call everywhere with loud back speakers)

I don't know about GMate, but on Groove IP (and probably others), the front speaker on the 5.0 is quite functional and is used for calls.

EDIT: I HAVE FIXED THE MAIN ISSUE WITH MY GMATE, MORE INFORMATION BELOW
Well, my Gmate+ came in the mail today, and I've been playing with it for a little while now and am able to give first impressions. First off, the device is much smaller than I imagined, it easily fits in my palm, the vibration (on the plus version) is very loud. As for the function itself, it works. You can call and send and receive text messages (haven't tested the web access yet) with a few minor (and one major) annoyances. My device is currently a US SGP 4.0 running Terrasilent 1.1 and EtherealRom 2.3.
Minor annoyances I have found with the Gmate+:
- Notifications (read: texts) do not make noise/vibrate while the screen is locked. Once the screen goes on, if you do have a new text, it notifies you, kind of ruining the point of the notification.
- Text messages you send have proper time stamps, for some reason, the ones you receive are off by a few hours, as if the sender is in a different time zone
- Seems to be no way to delete contacts from the address book, even uninstalling, wiping data, reinstalling didn't do anything about this.
Major annoyance with the Gmate+:
- It disconnects, and by that I mean it disconnects ALL THE TIME, the device is pretty much useless because of this, it will be fine for a few minutes, then disconnect, regardless of how close the Gmate is to my SGP. Every few minutes, I'd check it, and guess what? No connection. Sometimes it would reconnect, sometimes I'd have to manually do it, sometimes I'd have to restart one or both devices to get it to work again.
Seeing as everything the device does it actually does quite well when actually connected, I want to rule this problem to some battery saving tweak in my kernel/rom. As such, I'll be returning to stock and trying the Gmate again to see if any of these issues are cleared up. As it stands, I have a 75$ paperweight that buzzes occasionally.
EDIT: After flashing back to stock and noticing no change, I began searching around and found other people having similar problems with similar devices, mainly connecting their smartphones to the bluetooth sound system in their car. Turns out in Deep Sleep, the device has issues keeping constant bluetooth connection. After downloading an app (Bluetooth KeepAlive: ~$1.30) on the market that keeps the device from entering this mode, the Gmate no longer disconnects, and has remained connected for several days, having no problem with calls or text messages at any time. In summary, with this app, I am now happy to recommend the Gmate to anyone who is looking for this kind of functionality. Guess it goes to show that non compatible apps are listed in the Play Store as non working for a reason

Archos 101 + 3g stick it's possible use it also as a smartphone?

I just received this tablet with 3g stick - i would use it also for voice call not in internet but through the sim because i had a full phone plan with voice and internet -
i know that other tablet like sam.... with a software patch had enabled voice function -
we have to wait for a software upgrade or there is an hardware problem ?
in this case there is another usb modem with this function ?
thanks for your attention

Hi There,
As far as I know the Archos 3G Stick is lacking voice capability at an hardware level so that is a no go, It theoretically possible using a Patched Huawei Dongle, I got it to successfully connect a silent call when I was playing around with it, It could be just a case of wiring up the audio policies in Android or something vastly more complex, I didn't bother investigating further. You also need to patch your framework-res.apk to make the rom voice_capable, you can also make it sms_capable as well, this allows you to use the stock mms app for sending and receiving messages
You might want to do a search before posting, because this question has been asked before and there's a couple of development threads regarding it, One is linked from my signature.
Thanks

Correct. Sim cards do not have the phone radio in them. Its the device itself. Therefore, other than using voip phone apps there is no way to make voice call on the tablets, besides my galaxy note.

[Q] Bluetooth carkit problem

I have a Galaxy S3 I9300 for a couple of weeks now and I love it, other than the fact that I keep having a strange issue with the Bluetooth connection with my carkit. I've been searching forums for similar issues and I found a variety of carkit related problems, but none of the ones I found describe the same problem as what I'm having:
- Initially the Bluetooth connection works fine and I can play music or make a call through the carkit just fine
- When I switch off the car's systems and don't use any apps on the phone in the meanwhile, and then start the car's systems again, it establishes the Bluetooth connection just fine again
- When I switch off the car's systems and I use other apps for a while and then start the car again, it won't work. Bluetooth does appear to connect, but after that it just doesn't play ball. When I try to play a song at this point, the phone shows the song is playing, but neither the phone nor the car audio produces any sound
So anyway, every morning before leaving to work and every evening before going home, I reboot my phone first. Then I step into the car and it establishes the Bluetooth connection just fine. But if I don't reboot the phone first, it just won't work. Now I guess I could setup a tasker profile to automatically reboot the phone, but I'd rather just get the problem fixed.
I run a Galaxy S3 I9300 with stock Android 4.1.1, rooted. I have already tried to run the "Bluetooth Fix Repair" app and afterwards had to pair the phone with the carkit again, but that made no difference.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
*bump*
Some additional info:
This issue has now also happened a few times while driving. While music (through Spotify) was playing over the bluetooth carkit, it would sometimes just stop working when I opened a different app (like for example opening an SMS). Spotify was still running (and the song was still ongoing) and also the bluetooth connection still showed as being connected, but it just wouldn't produce any sound anymore.
Anyway, it seems clear to me that this is a bluetooth issue, but I have no idea how I can troubleshoot this beyond what I've already done.
I would be happy to pay whoever can fix this problem..
With an issue like you are describing it may be helpful to list the headunit model too. I do not own an S3 but I have a multimedia headunit (Pioneer AVH P4400BH) and have found that toggling my Bluetooth on and off will help the headunit to see the Bluetooth on my Android device. This may not resolve your issue though.
Another thing to consider, your headunit may have an update-able firmware. That said if your headunit does have an update-able firmware I would check out the procedure, ensure there is a way to roll back to your current firmware and try that. If your headunit was purchased at an electronics or and audio retailer you may wish to speak with them. Your issue may not be with your phone but with your headunit, but this should help as far as troubleshooting since your issue involves multiple devices.

My car is a Renault Megane RS, the carkit was built in. I believe it's called Renault Carminat TomTom.

I've covered everything like that in about 100 different ways, none of which made any difference.

Good point. It does have an SD card slot, but as far as I know that's only to update the maps of the navigation system. I'll see if I can figure that out.
Thanks for the tips!
By the way - I do think that it's unlikely that the carkit itself is the troublemaker. Especially because opening an SMS on my phone can trigger the whole thing to stop working (it doesn't happen every time, but it did happen several times). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

It is in fact very possible that it is your phone, but wanted to throw it out there that bluetooth headunits can be troublesome on their own. Now I am not familiar with your headunit, but does it save bluetooth IDs? Like on my headunit and many other aftermarket headunits, it will save 3 bluetooth devices. If it does, have you tried clearing other devices and moving your S3 to the top? Odd as it sounds this has made a difference for me. Also do you have other bluetooth devices in the car, such as the 3GS you mentioned?
Also a logcat of this happening would be beneficial. If you do not know how to pull a logcat there is an app on the market called catlog or alogcat. Both are free and are invaluable in troubleshooting a ROM issue. In short it tells a developer what is going on as far as events being triggered or failures within the ROM.

Yeah I had read that too in some other thread (I went through just about every bluetooth related thread I could find, before I posted this topic). Mine saves up to 5. It didn't have anything in there except for my previous phone, which I had cleared. I also tried re-pairing the S3 several times, that didn't make any difference either.
Now, I just read somewhere that some people are having disconnection issues on the same carkit. In their case, in the end the problem turned out to be that their carkit will import all of their contacts from their phone (so you can call people even while your phone is in your pocket), and this would cause trouble when there are contacts without a phone number associated with it (just like my thousands of Exchange contacts). The people in question are talking about random disconnects though, whereas in my case it happens after doing some stuff on my phone. So it's probably unrelated, but I'll give that a try anyway just to rule it out. I just need to figure out a way to stop the carkit from importing contacts, because removing thousands of email contacts is obviously not an option.
I'll keep this topic updated with any progress. If anyone has any other ideas, please keep em coming. Thanks for the help so far!

Didn't think of that, great tip, thank you! I do run the stock ROM by the way.
I've installed alogcat just now. Does it just keep running automatically in the background?

It reads a file that is being constantly updated (which happens to be the logcat file). Typically I will clear it right before doing what it took to cause the failure, like in your case in your car with the bluetooth on.
I've got Audi with BT and S3 with custom rom and I've got similar problems with BT. It connects automatically but if I switch off BT in phone and switch it on again - it doesn't connect any more. I had this since I bought a phone and it was on all ROMs I used.

Yep - I have that too. The weird thing is that in that situation the phone does seem to think it is connected, while it really isn't. Just to be clear: this is not the only way to cause this issue (because it also happens when trying to reconnect the Bluetooth while on the phone it hasn't been disabled in the meanwhile).
So far I haven't been able to pull anything related from the logcat.
Also, while reading up on common bluetooth issues, I came across some posts of people who were saying that some phone/carkit combinations are having trouble with 2-way communication (because I can stream music from the phone to the carkit, but I can also change a song using the carkit or initiate a phonecall from the carkit). I'm going to try to only use communication initiated from the phone, and see whether that makes any difference. In the meanwhile: does anyone happen to know anything about 2-way communication issues with bluetooth, and how to overcome such issues?
Update:
- Updated carkit to latest firmware. No change, still same problem
- Have not been able to capture anything unusual in the logs
- I have a Bose Soundlink now, which is a wireless speaker. Whenever my S3 is connected to the Soundlink (with bluetooth), wifi doesn't work. Upon turning off bluetooth, wifi instantly works fine again. So this definitely confirms this is a problem with bluetooth on the phone, not on the carkit.
- Wanted to upgrade to Android 4.1.2 but Samsung won't let me, as it says the device is modified (rooted). Triangle away isn't helping. Damn you, Samsung. This is *the* reason I moved away from Apple, as I don't like companies who don't let you use your stuff any way you like. And now Samsung is moving down the same route. Idiots. Anyway, I guess the only option left, is to start using a custom ROM.
Does anyone happen to have experience in terms of solving bluetooth problems by using a custom ROM? I'm thinking of using Cyanogenmod 10.1
In the meanwhile I have upgraded to Android 4.1.2: still the same problem.
I have also discussed this matter with quite a few other Samsung smartphone owners, and all of them appear to be having the same issue. Most of them just don't seem to be bothered to spend time on looking for a fix.
Also, I have figured out that this problem is specific to media streaming. I'm able to use my phone on the carkit for calls at any time, without having to reboot first. Only when I try to listen to music, the problem occurs.
Anyway, I have ruled out that this problem is specific to me or my devices - this appears to be a global issue. So I'm completely puzzled as to why there's not a lot more fuss going on about this.
If anyone has any more suggestions for a resolution of this problem, please share.
S3 bluetooth connection problem
Had the same problem with my S3 and renault megane III handsfree bluetooth system.(Arkamsys software version 2.2.0.19 auditorium)
I downgraded to 4.0.4 baseband I9300CELH1 (stock) and problem seems fixed
hope this helps.
Hi Bennes,
Thank you for your response.
I'm still dealing with this problem myself. All upgrades so far haven't made a difference. So far, I've been able to figure out that if I first initiate a phonecall, after hanging up, the audio streaming works (while before the phonecall it usually wouldn't). This works about 8 out of 10 times (the other 2 times it doesn't make a bluetooth connection at all). So what I've done, is to use Tasker and to automatically make it call my own phone number whenever bluetooth gets connected to the carkit, and hanging up after 3 seconds. But this is obviously far from ideal.
Do you know whether it is possible to change the baseband version without changing the firmware version? I wouldn't like to downgrade to an older firmware version, as I like the new features in the newer versions. I do also prefer to stick with the stock firmware, but that's not a requirement.

mmm, don`t know about baseband only. Try google.
I have read that after downgrade to 4.0.4 and then upgrade again to latest stock version, bluetooth connection keeps working.
I cannot confirm this as i am still on 4.0.4, but will get an update of the arkamsys radio to the latest renault firmware version next week and then start experimenting again. i will report back once i have new results

[Q] Phonnix- has anyone tried it?

My Truesmart comes in on Wednesday and I'm thinking about grabbing a data sim and using this for calls, anyone know if it works?
https://www.phonnix.com/mobile/
is working fine
Hi, I installed Phonnix Lite because I#m very curious and still want to have a companion app.
Have to install Phonnix on both devices, Smartphone as host, TS as client. I actived it, for call and SMS forwarding.
Unfortunately, you get no direct message displayed on TS, but you get al logbook an there all call and SMS activities are logged. But you need a SIM card in both devices.
Also you get an E-Mail notification for incoming calls and SMS.
Not really a functioning compananion app, but for free ists a nice gimmick. The advantage is: no pairing and connection via bluetooth necessary and you get the notifications even when you forgot your smartphone at home or you are aout of bluetooth range.
Thx for the tip.
Maybe the pro version is a little more comfortable.
Hope this helps, you, guy.

tested it for a while.... its extremly draining the battery. In thelite version for free its necessary to reconnect with your email data, longest time is 12 hours. not funny to type the data on the TS keyboard.
If you want to have a permanent connection, you have to buy the pro version
will think over it if there is no companion app or oui 2.1 with companion integrated in the next 2 weeks.
I also tried tablet talk but is not functining coz of bluetooth issue on the TS
EDIT:
I installed the pro version for about $ 2,50. Now I have a connection between smartphone and Truesmart. When there is an incoming call on the phone, the TS also is ringing. Nothing else happens, you cant accept or reject the call, but that is a big step to a companion app.
So I get my calls and SMS displayed in the Phonnix logbook, and the TS rings.
So I understand it right, there is no BT connection necessary. For the time the TS is connected with the internet, it will ring at an incoming call on the phone even when this is turned off.
There are some time restrictions for the phone as a host device, but now, logged to my gmail account on the TS as client is permanent.
Very, very nice & smooth....
I will test it for some days and if anybody is interested in my experiences, I will post.
Hi there! Great stuff!
I'm the developer of Phonnix and I'm very much interested on getting some feedback.
I didn't really tried in on smartwatches so I'm don't even know if it works or not but the idea is quite appealing
Did you try the latest version lately? Lots of improvements there!
Looking forward to hear your feedback!
Cheers,
Paulo

Bluetooth Problems with SEAT Leon 5F

Hello there.
I am using the X since a few weeks. It is a damm nice phone. perfect size, brilliant display and the rest of the specs is cool too.
But:
I can connect it with my car. I can get calls in the car using the audio + mic from the car. But I cant use the phonebook. And so I cant see who is calling or even use the carphonebook for dialing a number or use favs.
BT itself is working: I already transfered e.g. contacts via BT from my old phone. The UP MOVE is synching.
I also tried it on an BMW F20 - same problems.
In other forums ( e.g. oneplus ) I found some other persons with the same problem. They "solved" it by buying an app calles "Bluetooth Phonebook". It seems that the app will add/replace/change some BT Profiles.... It seems that there is an profile missing: PBA, PBAP Phonebook Access Profile.
If this is so, it will mean that OnePlus is not finished with the Oxygen 2.2.0.
The offical support can´t answer this question to me
Questions:
Can someone tell me how to check if this profile is on my phone?
If not present - how can I add it by myself?
Any other helpfull ideas?
Bluetooth Phonebook app is the easiest option.
Or i believe BT works with cyanogenmod
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one.../rom-cyanogenmod-13-x-oneplus-x-onyx-t3279784
I would not rely on Oneplus to fix it as the problem still exists in the Oneplus 2 and thats been out even longer than the Oneplus X.
Workaround
I also have the exact same issue with my 2015 BMW. BT connection for calls work stable but contacts are only synced partially. My solution was to again and again delete and re-connect my OPX until in one instance all contacts were available in the cars phonebook. I then stored all important contacts into the cars phonebook so that they are always present independently from the connected phone. Not ideal but a workaround.
The issue for the OP2 was solved with the latest OTA update. So hopes are that OPX will receive the same fix...
I also have the same problem with Seat Léon St.
According to OnePlus community on Google+, this issue has been solved with the last update of OnePlus 2.
I already contacted OnePlus Support on Twitter but they cannot confirm.

I had a similar problems. With my OPT and OPX with My 208 GTi. Using Bluetooth Phone book from the play store was the easiest option.

+1 BMW e71 2012 / Ford Kuga 2015. Bluetooth phone book solved both, although Ford sync took a couple of attempts.
Something that oneplus needs to sort. Shouldn't need to pay to get this basic functionality
That's a known bug on OxygenOS from loooooonnnggg time ago, it was finally solved on OP2 in the last update so, it must also be fixed on OPX in the nest update...
On CM12 \ CM13, etc, it works great with all car bluetooth systems...
at the moment i am still in contact with the OP Support Team.
They are still NOT commenting the missing BT profile in Oxygen.
The App "BT Phonebook" is realy working. So imho its a missing basic feature of OP and has to be fixed.
Yesterday I got an OS update on my OPx but in the readme was nothing mentioned about BT
This is probably not what you guys are looking for but i had the same problem with my sony headunit no contact names would display just the phone numbers. I have since installed custom rom CM13 by ashwin and everything is working contacts display names and i can search people to call through the stereo settings etc.
Indeed. I don't really want to flash but my wife was connected to my car with her OnePlus One within the minute and streamed Spotify... So yes, this is not we really want but at the end, OxygenOS is a bit bugged
I have the same problem with my 2011 Mazda 6. Bluetooth Phonebook did NOT solve this issue for me...
