Hi,
Can anyone tell me how I can access the SIP call functionality built into Android. I can't see any settings for adding a SIP account for the Honor 9. I've tried using QuickShortcut and can add the SIP account but there is no option to enable it for incoming calls.
Any ideas?
No-one?
Bump. I've been on the same track, looks like more and more manufacturers remove the native SIP options. I've been tracking that issue for multiple phones (branded and unbranded) and I've seen a pattern: after Android 6.0.1 more and more models remove the (build-in !!!) functionality.
Most people probably doesn't have a sip account and rarely use it. Or people just use third party app for such purposes.
The built is SIP feature is more stable and strong on call. The manufacturer should not remove this feature.

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...

I am looking for a dialer app that allows the following DURING a call without switching to another app:
1) Note taking - so notes can be taken seamlessly during a call (such as phone numbers, confirmation numbers, directions, etc.)
2) Voice recording (I know about the call recording limitations already)
3) Dialer 'macros' for quickly entering account numbers and passwords during a phone call such as when calling a bank or paying bills.
4) A dialer pad 'hot key' so that if I have to switch to another app during a call, I can instantly return to the dialer in a tap or double tap.
I know that all of this can already be accomplishe with separate apps. I'm looking for all of this to work seamlessly in one dialer app. The current solutions with the stock dialer are too cumbersome. Does anyone know if any of the dialers in the market support all of these features?
Hi,
I have all my Google contacts logically split into groups ie work, friends, family etc.
What I'd like to do is be able to leave the phone on after work and be able to divert all work calls to voice mail for example.
Is there a way to do this on the phone natively ?
TIA,
Arfer
Not possible to send to voicemail at selected times natively.
Think I've not been clear enough.Want I'm after is to be able to have groups go to voicemail while other groups work normally ie the phone rings
Cheers,
Arfer
The best anyone has suggested to me is this:
Mr. Number
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...i5ibG9ja2VyIl0.
This doesn't do what I want as it means making whitelists / globally all contacts as filters.
it's along the right lines but is no longer being developed and not for use Gingerbread onwards.
Can't believe this most obvious and helpful of functions is not available or that people aren't hollering out for it.
Everyone of my friends I've asked about this all once I've explained it are amazed it's not available.
Why have groups within Google contacts unless they provide useful functionality ?
Hi,
is there any chance to get SIP Account Settings working on this smartphone. In the current Software there is just no option anymore. In my old Z3 Compact there is the option to create a SIP Account .

The same on my phone. I had a Z3C and also 6.0.1 and there was under "Calls" the section for adding a SIP account. With the Z5C and 6.0.1 there is no way anymore to work with SIP accounts. Sony removed a naitive feature of Android. Now I had to install a VOIP app to handle this. Is there a way to get the SIP account feature back?
I don't believe this what happens with the Z5C. Is it possible to get the feature back when I root the phone?
Although this is about a Samsung device, maybe this thread can also help you out: ( sorry, since I just registered I'm not allowed to post url's... But Google will help you )
I used the app QuickShortcutMaker to link to the sip settings. Make a link to “com.android.phone.settings.PhoneAccountSettingsActivity” or “com.android.phone.CallFeaturesSetting” on some other phones. No rooting required!
Apparently the functionality is still in there, only a direct link is lacking... I am using native sip on an Samsung tab S2 now
Let me know if this works for the z5 compact as well; then I might even buy one too!
Thanks for your reply. I found a entry with QuickShortCutMaker named: com.android.services.telephony.sip.SipSettings. I insert my account details but the phone to not register. The entry tells me: Incoming calls deactivated. and I also cannot call out. In previous versions I saw a dialog how I ant to dial: SIM or SIP. After the the above steps I only can call out via SIM not SIP.
I also have the same problem using Android 6 on a LG G3. After adding an SIP Account using the activity "com.android.services.telephony.sip.SipSettings", theese accounts are visible and can be enabled by calling the activity "com.android.server.telecom.settings.EnableAccountPreferenceAcitivity" - but the integration in the dialer is missing. So on an outgoing call there is no selection for the account to use.
On Android 6 on Samsung S5 Neo it works fine by using the activity "...PhoneAccountSettingsAcitivity" but this action does not exist on the LG G3 Android. There is an action "...SipPhoneAccountSettingsAcitivity" but it does not work.
What type of SIP calling is this?
Is this VoLTE SIP calling that would let you make a SIP Voice call using TMO's VoLTE services? Or is this some other type of SIP calling, like making a call through Google Hangouts?
Problem solved look here:
Xperia SIP accounts solved
For every version of Android since I think Gingerbread there has been an ability to add a SIP account for VOIP dialling in the native Google Phone/Contacts app.
When I open the Phone app, and go to Settings/Calls, I can enable Wi-Fi calling, but there is nowhere I could see to add any new Calling Accounts to enter the SIP details.
Have I missed something?
