SIP with Android 2.3.4 - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I'm a happy user of a HTC desire under Android 2.2...
SIP ( SIPdroid ) is working great and i have no problems with SIP calls!!
I have tried another (AOSP) Rom ( MIUI 1.6.5) under Android 2.3.4 in which the whole SIP layer is ( under my uinderstanding...) native, hence supposedly no need for an extra SIP client.
I have configured my SIP account, the way i've always done but I've been unable to make a SIP call.
hence the question, is SIP working under Android 2.3.4 ?
has this been already checked ?
thks for clarification

yup, I've tried native SIP calling under Android 2.3.3 and it is working great! The only problem is you can only register to your SIP account using Wi-Fi (no 3G for now)...
I think some dev's are working around that problem but I do not know for sure...

hi redsmith
Still stuck with native SIP but I found a CSIPSimple client on the market who works great with A 2.3.4...
So there is a solution !!!

Over all you can say SIP works but the native client is not really good or even in a kind finished for the "wild".
One big thing: it doesn't want to auth at a new call -.-
If you want to start a call it thinks one auth at the start is enough but for most SIP servers this isn't true.

Wow, did not notice the native SIP support!
I am using CSipSimple on the Reflex S ROM, but I will give the native on a try...

Sip Client for Galaxy S

Has anyone found a sip client that can read the address book in the Galaxy S? I've tried linphone and sipdroid, but no luck so far.
You can try aSip.
3CX works on the nexus one.
Does anybody knows how to extend the SIP Registration timer on SIPDroid. It looks to me it is too short (30s?). Is it possible to set it to be longer or disable it?

SIPdroid can replace the standard dialer though, so all outbound calls are SIP when SIPdroid is open. Is that appropriate (not that it matters, because all voip software seems to use the loudspeaker still).

That's the problem I'm having... all the SIP software seems to route calls through the loudspeaker. Annoying.

On the i7500, the community hacked together a special voip kernel (with audio routing or whatever) to work around this I think..
Nimbuzz also does SIP and reads the address book.
Is somebody who tried Voip Sip client from VoipSwitch ? Could be interesting since it does support G729 audio data compression algorithm.
I also managed to use at a decent level SipDroid application. Here I have a problem in the sence that when I received a call, it rings but after I answer I do not hear anything.
Some opinions please ? Thank you !
Fring?
Try Fring?
I find CSipSimple works fantastically.

[Q] Best Google Voice setup for VOIP calls

What is the best setup you found for incoming/outgoing Google Voice VOIP calls on a (Sprint) Galaxy Nexus? Interested in apps that work very well over wi-fi only, not over mobile data.
I'm looking for something that has great voice quality and also integrates seamlessly with the native dialer so that when not on wifi it makes phone calls over the cell radio and when on wi-fi it makes VOIP calls using Google Voice.
I see pbxes.org mentioned a lot. Is it worth the trouble given that they store the GV password on their server and then from what I understand they have to re-code from the GV codec to whatever codec the SIP client on the phone negotiates with the pbxes servers - I hope my understanding of how it works is correct.
Other options I've seen mentioned: Groove IP, Spare Phone, Talkatone.
Not sure which approach works best, maybe the experts here can save me some research time.
And as a SIP client, what works well? I tried the native phone SIP client with a SIP VOIP service and it sounded terrible, not sure why the native one doesn't work well.
Thanks for your help.
I use groove IP no problems

Anyone else? What's your great Google Voice setup?
I use GrooveIP as well. But I really want to get my pbxes.org working on my call setting. That is what I am going to work on today.

Thanks, this is interesting but unfortunately it is too cumbersome to use by the person I'm setting up the phone for. I'd like a solution that's fully automated, use 1 dialer only (either native or a different app) that can smartly route calls via GV when on wifi (at home) or cell when not on wifi.
You can setup your PBXes account just like the tutorials (with SIPdroid) and then put the account info into the regular dialer. I think the extra steps to use the stock dialer were in a wiki somewhere or some external webpage (not on this forum).
You only need SIPdroid to create the free extension on PBXes and follow the tutorials to get all setup. Then you can go into the stock dialer and put in accountname-200, password, and then pbxes.org as the domain. You can choose to receive calls on wifi only or while on a data connection with a checkbox. I've heard that the codec used with the stock dialer isn't that great, though. It's one of those things you'd have to tryout for yourself.
One dialer to send and receive calls. It even lets you know if it's a data call or not. Maybe this is something you wanted to look into?
What SIP client pairs well with PBXes? I know the stock dialer SIP is very poor, I tried it with another SIP service and the call quality was mediocre, while their dedicated client worked very well, so at least I know it's not the phone hardware, it's the software.
I also read about potential latency issues with PBXes because they only have 1 server in NY. Is that still the case or the latency issues have been resolved? I guess in general I'm looking for a fairly reliable service though I'm prepared to accept occasional hiccups.
Almost

Mr.binglejellsx2 is almost correct. I have been deal with more than 15 apps to get best. create a account by using sipdroid. make sure you have got green dot and place one out going and incoming call via sipdroid. Exit sipdroid from your phone. go to pbxes.org and login under extension under sipdroid 200 (from left) than right, under device option retype your password. (means you are get ride of sipdroid and ready for new sip). in your phone open sipdroid and make sure your got yellow and exit. in your phone call setting, add new account, your username-200 password, server is pbxes.org under option make sure your port is 5060 and not uda must be tcp. hit back and your phone should say receiving call. If not working go to pbxes.org and re type password same extension and under personal data enter your password two times where required and submit start (means, you dont want sipdroid, the second sip and now ready for any new getaway which will be your native sip) this must work. I don't see best call quality anywhere. this is awesome especially for wifi. just like your carrier. I use this everyday for international call.. let me know if don't work. If works just enjoy..
Thanks for your reply. I've been using Groove IP with very good results over wifi (that's what I care about, Sprint 3G mobile data is so bad anyway that it can't carry a call). The paid Groove IP integrates nicely with the native dialer too, so the experience is good.

HTC One M8 Dual SIM SIP client (VOIP) missing

Hello! The dual SIM version of the M8 does not have the possiblity to set up a SIP account with the native client of Android 4.4 (in contrast to the single SIM version). Thus I have installed the "SIP Switch Widget" from Google play store. This allows me to set up the SIP account and choose the method of dialing (asking before each call if I would like the mobile account or VOIP). Nevertheless if I choose IP-call the call is made through the mobile network. I guess that the phone app has been modified by HTC. The behaviour of incoming VOIP calls is as follows: The phone rings but I am unable to answer the call. Has anyone a fix for it or would develop a solution that the native Android client works? I would certainly pay for it because the native client drains less battery than 3rd party apps. Thanks a lot!
Hi markzh,
I am having the exact same issue. Just bought the M8 Dual Sim version and was quite disappointed not being able to use the native VoiP client on the phone.
Did you make any progress solving this issue?
Thanks,
Tito

[Q] Any SIP/VOIP client working for T700

Has anyone found a SIP/VOIP client, dialer that works on a rooted default OS? I have both a Note 8 and Tab S T700 and on the Note I have 3CXPhone configured and working with a Vonage SIP acct. but when I try to use the same APK and profile on the T700 it crashes when trying to register... Other SIP clients that don't require the Native Android SIP stack don't crash but fail to register. It 'feels' like a possibly a firewall type of issue but I can't be sure so any help I can get would be greatly appreciated.
[A] CSipSimple Works!
3CXPhone which is no longer available crashes But Latest CSipSimple works as long as you configure it right I had been thinking I was translating the Password from the 3CX .profile but messed up the zero vs. Cap Ohh !

Native SIP client issues

Hi All,
I have the following issue with the native SIP client:
- in outgoing calls, I hear the other part intermittently, others can not hear me at all
- in incoming calls, everything works fine
The problem exists only in the native ("Phone" app) SIP client, which I still prefer to use. Other apps, such as CSipSimple work fine. Other phones with the same native client (LineageOS though) worked fine as well.
I have a feeling this may be due to UDP issues in SIP.
Anyone faced this?
Yes, I find myself in the same situation with my Nokia 6.1 - seems like a problem with their 8.1.0 build:
https://community.phones.nokia.com/support/discussions/topics/7000023187
Nokia's native sip client is useless at this time.
