[Q] CSipSimple / Sipdroid Help - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello All,
I am trying to configure one of the 2 clients (CSipSimple or Sipdroid) to do one of the following items which will make my quest for perfect VoIP calling complete!!! (Btw, if you have questions on how to set this up, PM me!!!)
1. Every time I answer a call using CSipSimple or Sipdroid I have to press "1" to answer the call after I hit accept (the green button). If I could find a way to avoid this, that would be great! (NOTE: I have Call Screening already disabled in Google Voice settings)
2. When I'm on my normal voice line (from Verizon) and I get a call to my Google Voice number, CSipSimple doesn't ring! [Sipdroid works properly]. Can anyone explain what I'd have to change in CSipSimple so this would work?
Thank you all! Once again, if anyone needs help setting up a full dial-in, dial-out VoIP setup, please PM me!
Thanks!

If a mod could please delete this thread, I'd appreciate it.
I can't figure out how to delete this, as I solved my own problem and am writing a HOW-TO in another section.

[Q] Does VOIP work on G-Tablet

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?

Fring and other voice progs...

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...

Carlos

[Q] Add development - forward/divert incoming calls

Dear users,
i'm a new junior developer with no experience on Android.
I would like to ask you (skilled developers) if you think is possible to find a way to develop an app to intercept incoming calls and forward/divert them to another a Google talk, Skype etc. or voip extension through a phone's internet connection (wifi, hsdpa..).
In case is not possible with the official functions, can be done on rooted phones?
[In case there is not chance It maybe possible using a trick/automation like intercept the incoming calls and use the installed app (skype..) to call another contact and forward the voice]
Thanks in advance and sorry if i missed some already present similar thread (i didn t find any)

[Q] LGphone.apk Google Voice integration

Hi all, sorry for the new guy question (at least that's what I think it is):
Problem Statement - I have my phone set up to make all calls through google voice. This works fine. However, the phone.apk and thus the call log always shows the google voice routing number as opposed to the person I am actually calling.
Review - I have done some searching and it appears this is the same thing on, at least, some other devices (SIII for one). I have not found any way to "fix" this, however, and am reaching out here. It may be an LG thing or an ICS thing or no thing at all.
Solutions:
Question 1 - does anyone know if there is any solution to this?
Question 2 - in doing some looking around it seems that the best approach might be to try a different phone.apk. The best approach I have seen, but have not yet tried, is to download the stock ICS phone.apk from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735507 or something. change permissions to rw-rw-rw- and copy into system/app . will this work? What is in there now is LGphone.apk, do I have to change the name of phone.apk to LGphone.apk?
Thanks in advance for any consideration of this.
Best Regards,
Dave
I'd like to find a resolution to this issue as well. it's rather frustrating. and no, i will not be adding the Google Relay# to my contact list as a workaround. i just want the call log to report the contact i called..
Anyone find a solution yet?
I figure once the AOSP 4.2 roms have their camera and GPS issues sorted out, I won't be bothered by this issue any more.

GV outbound call log repair
The only way I found was to install this app called GV Outbound Call Log Repair. I've tested it and it does work. This app seems to periodically wake up, contact GV and replace the number in the call log with GV call log number.

Thanks for sharing. I just bought it and it's working great so far. The only concern I have is that it syncs your call log every 30 seconds which seems like a battery drain. I wish you could set how often it syncs. At any rate any fix is better than none :good:

[Q] How to use tasker as a voicemail replacement - NO Google Voice Availablee

Hi All,
I am looking for a way to get around using Voicemail from my carrier.
Firstly, here we pay for the service as well as retrieval of voice messages.
It would be good if i could get tasker to answer a call, play a voice recording or media to the call stream, and then record the response.
Once that part is done then i can do whatever i want witht he recording.
Also, I am not in the US, so i cant use Google Voice.

I second this. I want it for a little bit of a different reason though. I want it to take the voicemail and search it for my emergency word. If it discovers it I want it to set off my emergency profile. If not then save the voicemail and let me hear it later or view a text version of it.
Me too! Would love to be able to do this.
