The easiest way to accomplish that is to grab AutoAP from the play store. I have Tasker as well and set it up as described in the first post. It worked well enough, but for some reason that I never could figure out, would intermittently disable the task. Not a problem if you happen to notice it, but I rarely did.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
But that will stop failback calls that do not reach me via sip to NOT be delivered to my cell phone, that is not what I want here. That is why there is no need, it is an unwanted feature with the voip.ms / csipsimple setup.

I know about AutoAP, and I had a successful set of rules in AutomateIt Pro, but they need to be disabled now, and AutoAP not used, or the setup fails.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
How are you getting 'double calls' if you have GVoice only forward to your VOIP number? That should mean the call route is:

GV->VOIP->CSip, failover to Cell#.

Double calls from GVoice sounds like you have it set to forward to Google Talk or your Cell in addition to VOIP.ms.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
I am not, the double call issue was from @codesplice original setup with GVoice forwarding to both GTalk (PBXes / Sipdroid) and your real cell number. That was why a method to activate airplane mode via Tasker or AutoAP or ??? was needed. With this setup, there is no need for that.

I stated a couple posts back that it should be disabled and @adrman stated that using AutoAP was easier than Tasker, when we now want no airplane mode. I suspect he did not read the complete post, or understand it, or might be under caffeinated, like me. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krazykeyur:
you were the under caffeinated one.. because you typed the following

"And, now need to activate airplane mode to stop double calls from GV, since voip.ms calls CSipSimple, if no answer, calls cell phone, if no answer, GV voicemail picks up. Correct?"

You should have typed "no" instead of "now" :laugh:

I tried setting up G-voice + sipdroid +pbxes.org and i have some problems. When i try making a call sipdroid opens up and the call starts, and a voice says something like we cannot complete your call right now please try again later. When someone calls me (g-voice number) and im on wifi only, no cellular, the call looks normal on their phone and after 30 seconds it goes to my g-voice voicemail. Now on my phone, nothing happens at all. The green dot is in the status bar and it says registered, but nothing happens. When my g-voice number is called and im on cellular, not though sipdroid it works fine. Somebody plz help me i made an account just for this question
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
This sounds like the GTalk trunk is not connecting to Google Voice servers. As you are registering with your PBxes, just nothing actually is going through with Google Voice and the GTalk Trunk.

Double check the GTalk trunk and the first post of this thread about PBxes and see if something was overlooked in the password used?

That is my best though at the moment.

Quick question, how do I know if I need to use a stun server? Is there some indicator or something
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Are you working behind a router with NAT enabled?

http://www.3cx.com/PBX/stun-server.html

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STUN

Here is more information.

http://www.voip-info.org/wiki/view/STUN

I enabled it since @codesplice discussed it here.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28686936&postcount=462

I am using voip.ms with CSipSimple, and it uses UDP, so STUN is needed (as I understand it). Using PBXes and Sipdroid with TCP, it is not necessary.

Bottom line?

Try calls incoming and outgoing with it and without it to see what happens. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dipole:
Thanks that was exactly what I needed, I also use VoIP.ms behind a router and will enable stun
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
There is a button for that. ;)

I'm glad I could help and give back in return for the great information I've gotten in this thread.

Planning on doing this next may, when my tmobile account is up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] austriker27:
I seem to have an odd problem. Calls wont route through google voice to my tmobile number. Whenever someone calls me when im not on wifi/not at home it connects them to my voicemail box and tells them they can change it.

When im home and have sipdroid up and running calls come through like they should.

I have the tmobile number setup in google voice as a number to send calls to and also have added a voicemail pin. Although i have not activated google voicemail on the phone because ive heard there are issues with a prepaid number and that. I have unchecked and rechecked the tmobile number under forwarding several times. Its also set to forward calls to google chat so i can get voip when home. I think someone mentioned disabling that will help but id rather not have to change that each time i get home..

Any thoughts??? Right now my phone basically cant get calls while im away from wifi which is unforgivable.

Thanks!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
That is an odd problem indeed. I don't understand at all how any incoming caller would be forwarded to your (Google?) voice mailbox with the option to change it. Do you have any trouble with placing calls using Google Voice over your carrier's network (that is, as a standard voice call)?

For testing, you can always try temporarily disabling the forward to your Google chat interface, which could at least help to isolate the issue.

You don't have any sort of call-blocking software like Root Call Blocker installed, do you? Hopefully a silly question, but I just thought I'd check.

just wanted to post that thanks to all the amazing info in this thread and http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1455014 i took the plunge and ordered a pair of nexii on sunday evening (9/9).

thanks to all who posted in these threads and a pre-thanks for answering the many questions i'm sure to put up once i get my phones delivered and attempt to set them up.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] austriker27:
Lame, I have stumped the great codesplice. No I dont have trouble calling via google voice on tmobiles network. Only receiving (it doesnt even give me notification or email if I missed a call).

I dont have call blocking installed (no question is dumb).

Wait a sec, I have an idea..

EDIT: Dumb idea, I thought maybe if I exited sipdroid then it wouldnt forward the call (for some reason; trying to think outside the box) but it indeed still forwarded the call when I just tested it from another gmail account..

Shoot.. Well this is one way to cut down on your minutes! Just make it so people have to text or you call them. Haha

Now Solavei

Hey Guys I know alot of you are using this thu t-mobile..how about if you pay just 19 bucks more..and get unlimited talk,text,and 4Gigs of internet

would you jump on it. I did and I'm loving it..If you have some love for t-mobile you'll be right at home..And I must tell you guys this...

You can save even more money on your bill..with not alot of work...check the info

Solavei :good:

This is just information on my site..mods if this is a no no ..please delete
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Eh, $228 more a year for less data? I'll pass on the pyramid scheme.

I see Solavei as an alternative to the ST $45/mo plans, but I think most of the folks successfully rocking this $30/mo plan are doing it for the big data and either don't use many minutes or have a sweet VoIP solution in place to carry them over.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DustyFarts:
I read Thu all..of these post and some..not all add 20 bucks more because they need the mins..why not spend the 49 bucks and have no worry. Some need it and some don't. Oh and no scheme here if all you want is a cell phone plan. Take it as far as you want to...no pressure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
I sure love seeing another reference link to Solavei every other page in these threads..... it's going to be like a parasite for the next few weeks/months until the mods crack down on it, I'd imagine.

We'll see if it turns out to be a good carrier or not. For now, the T-mobile $30/mo plan is perfect for most people from what I've seen (given that they have coverage in their area, of course). I've personally used about 150 a month since getting it, so I just pay $35 instead. If I am about to start a particularly lengthy conversation, I'm always free to use VoIP instead. If you're someone using hundreds or thousands of minutes a month, though, you may want to look in to why that is... if it's business related, you probably should demand that your phone bill be compensated anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] austriker27:
Set to off. Not sure whats doing it..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrman:
I'm a few days short of being on the $30 plan for a month. I switched over from ST. My usage to date is 23 minutes and just short of 2gb of data. Everything else was through wifi, so I consider it a good move. As a side benefit, since I'm in airplane mode so much, my battery life has improved tremendously. Again thanks for all the help that's been posted in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
Awesome stuff! I go a bit over the 100 minutes because I gave up on VoIP. I LOVE the concept, but kept getting a 1-2 second call delay that was driving me and several others nuts. I might re-visit the idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HemRoyd:
True dat! I think we are all interested in maintaining the $30 theme of this thread and continue discussing any tweaks that might cost us a just a handful of nickels more in a pinch.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
I'm having some issues on timing of calls forwarding from voip.ms. You state that the call rings CSipSimple for 15 seconds, then forwards.

Is that setting under " Edit Subaccount" in voip.ms, and at the very bottom, Internal Extension Ringing Time? That is the only place I see any place to set the time on forwarding.

What is happening, is that whether I am registered on voip.ms with CSipSimple or not, I get the call to my T-Mobile number fine, but only get 2-3 rings, sometimes 1 or no rings, to answer before Google Voice kicks in and takes the voicemail. I've looked for a way to increase the time that Google Voice allows before taking the message, but I see nothing there. I've experimented with setting the extension ring time to 10 and 5 seconds, it makes no difference. I've also searched this thread again, and nothing I can find answers this, unless I missed something.

Thanks, your and @whitedragonz83 posts really made it easier to go the voip.ms / csipsimple route, and I am thrilled with it. Had my first 30 minute call a couple days ago, and it was perfect. No mention of issues from my friend on the other end who complained immediately on calls with sipdroid / pbxes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
I remember having to set my rings to 25 or 30 seconds in voip.ms, otherwise I would sometimes miss calls. It was odd how I could do a test and receive a call in 1 ring and other times 4 "rings".

I'll try to look at your settings tonight when I get a chance to see if I can help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BigKahuna68:
Same here. I had a good setup w/ SIPDROID+pbxes.org for 30 days. I'd say about 50% of the time I had unacceptable packet loss using my home wifi that I had to give up. Towards the end of the trial, my phone only rang once where as previously it rang until pickup.

At this point, I've disabled VOIP and am willing to pay the extra $$ each month to be a bit over the 100 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
I found it, it is the Dial Time Out in seconds under Manage DID(s). Also finally found that Google Voice just gives you 25 seconds of ringing before voicemail.

Now I cannot call my Google Voice number from CSipSimple and cannot figure out why. I have my GV number as my CID number at voip.ms (and I have the premium account). I'm totally baffled at this point. Could voip.ms see the outgoing CID that same as the number called, so it just sits on the "calling" screen and nothing happens. I terminate the call attempt or it will just sit there.

Routing is GV > voip.ms DID > CSipSimple > T-Mobile (if not registered or no answer).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrman:
If you should revisit it, give the voip.ms route a try. Initially, I tried grooveip, chat and pbxes. I also experienced high latency, not so much with pbxes, but the call quality was generally less than what I find acceptable. Voip.ms has been great so far. I think part of it is they have a local New York server. It's a little over a penny a minute for premium routing, but the calls sound great. Fwiw, I use the csipsimple nightlies as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atlgator:
A. Men. I mean unless you're on govt subsidy a $45 prepaid "unlimited" plan gives you far greater flexibility on minutes. VoIP over cellular data was far too great a pain and far too little quality to be acceptable long term (for this guy at least).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chadd_k2:
I Have everything set up and working great with the tmob $30 plan using a new google voice account. So I went into Google voice to start the porting process of porting my current VZW number to Google. When I entered my VZW number I get a message saying that they don't support porting from that carrier at this time and I can't do anything further.

Anyone else have this issue porting from VZW to Google voice? Anyone have any ideas on how to get around this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phychmasher:
Success!

I was a Blackberry guy until they stopped paying for it at work. I'd never touched an android before but II followed the OP to the T and have been enjoying flawless service for 2 months now. I had some issues with latency and coverage in my house so I bought a better router and configured QoS on it. Now, I have 0 latency and excellent call quality. I configured this on a Samsung Galaxy Exhibit. The phone's only $190, but you can occasionally catch it on sale at Tmo's site for $170 and a free $50 Tmo credit like I did. The amazing Dev Jocala has ported over CM9 for this phone and it is a dream. I'd love a Nexus, but I'm obviously a cheapskate if I'm doing a $30/mo phone plan, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Nice first post! Welcome to cheapskate geekdom, or just being sensible with your dollars, and getting the satisfaction of controlling your service instead of letting them control you while you pay handsomely to be milked dry.

I moved over from the Galaxy Exhibit to the Galaxy Nexus, easy to justify on the cost savings from this thread. The Exhibit is a great phone.

Now, how about a tutorial on QoS, or a configuration link? I looked at it ages ago, but not being a gamer, I saw no benefit or need. Now, with voip on wifi with the GNex, I need to revisit it. Thanks for contributing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phychmasher:
It looks like I'll need to PM it to you because I can't post links until I get to 10 posts :(

PM incoming!

EDIT: Doh! I can't PM you, either!

Hmm...

well...

The guides that I used to configure QoS can be reached by Googling "QOS FOR SOHO VOIP" for a Tomato-based router and "How to prioritize your network traffic with dd-wrt" for a DD-WRT-based router. If you have Tomato and you use the first guide, pay particular attention to the "Classifications" section as that's where you'll be entering the MAC of your Gnex. The DD-WRT guide is dead simple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Thank you again. I do have Tomato on my Linksys. I'll check it tomorrow and report back.

Found these:

http://mrmatt57.org/qos-for-soho-voip-solved-tomato-firmware/

edit - Ok, I just finished setting up my router with the recommendations in Port Forwarding and QoS, and set up Classifications with the MAC of my Nexus. What an amazing difference in clarity and reduction in latency.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I feel like I just got a 300% improvement in voice quality of my voip connection. Awesome, since I have almost no cell service in my house.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zAlbee:
Very cool. May I ask which VOIP setup you are using? I moved from talkatone (horrid interface) to GrooveIP (too high latency) and now Sipdroid/pbxes . I'm happy with the latency and interface on Sipdroid, but packet loss is there, even with my home Wi-Fi which is 25 Mbit. I may have to try your QoS solution!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phychmasher:
I am using SIpdroid/pbxes.org. I also am on a 25 Mbit service, and every time I bother to look at my screen I'm at 0% packet loss. I definitely had issues before I set up QoS, but I also have a lot of people on my network who are very actively using the connection :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
Slightly off topic? But for those of you using VoIP in a WiFi-crowded area (apartment living in particular), I'd have to highly recommend looking in to upgrading your home router.

I did weeks of research and work in IT. This router is often used in small businesses and is downright borderline overkill even for a large house. I've got strong WiFi signal hundreds of feet away at our apartment complex's pool, and can pull my internet's full 40mbps from that far away on 2.4ghz. This is with over 2 dozen networks in range sitting on my couch - before with a Cisco/Linksys E3000, once I got as far as my bedroom I'd have crazy packet loss. I've had over a dozen devices on it without a slowdown. Pricey, but damn worth it. It's got everything down to a built in media server, torrent downloader, etc.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833320091

It's also simultaneous dual band, so I can still keep my computers on 5ghz for better gaming latency. Although, this thing's signal is so strong that it barely shows any improvement over 2.4. It's worth looking in to if you're willing to invest in upgrading.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phychmasher:
That's AWESOME! I'm glad it made such a big improvement!

How funny, that's exactly the one I went with. Originally, I tried to just use a cheap rosewill (NewEgg house brand) as a repeater to cover my whole house, and while it did cover my house, it was only repeating my old WRT54GL (I think I'm going to build a shrine to this one instead of throwing it away) and it just wasn't fast enough. Ever since Cisco bought Linksys, I feel like their home routers have been balls. Asus is my new home router of choice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
So true. A friend of mine bought a newer model Cisco router (E4200?) and the thing actually crashes with just 4 of us playing LAN computer games - all hard wired. I was a tad worried at how Asus would handle home networking equipment, but damn, I got what I paid for and more with this thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wicozani:
No problem at all. I ported my longtime VZW cell number over to Google Voice about one month ago. I did it through the web and had no problems. Maybe it has something to do with how long you've had the VZW #?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chadd_k2:
got my number ported via the google voice porting tool the next day. i have no idea why it didn't work on friday night but it would on saturday morning, but either way, number has been ported.

There is a low latency patch for the GNex that works for me, not sure if it is placebo or not. There is some discussion there about using it for sip. It might be of interest to some.

Oh my I need that. I've been putting off upgrading my wtg45gs but I think it's time. I've moved to a new house and the router is on the other side of the house. 8 or so walls between it and my bedside.

Maybe I'll shop around a little, I'm way behind in wireless network tech.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thor79:
My data usage for this month was a little less than last...well under the 4G limit.

Thanks to VOIP I barely used my voice minutes at all this month. Today's my renewal day and I used 7 minutes of voice for the month.

And I got a second 802.11n access point to better cover my apartment. The walls in my apartment are particularly good at blocking signals (a reason I could never get great cell coverage)...so I have to have one to cover my kitchen/living room, and one to cover my bedrooms...even when they are only separated by the entryway. I don't really have anywhere I can put an access point in between. I'm using access points as the router I have (a netgear WNR3500L) only supports 2.4Ghz 802.11n. The access points are dual band (though not simulaneous) so I just set them for the 5Ghz band so my phone has a great connection no matter where I'm at in my apartment. The area is saturated with 802.11g/n networks...but all but one of the N networks in range are strictly on the 2.4Ghz bands. I have a number of wireless devices that don't support the 5Ghz band...so I run them on the 2.4Ghz band with my router and an old N router that I have setup as an access point. Working nicely for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Thanks for the tips! Which version of the NexusLouder patch are you using? The latest seems to be NexusLouderV4Beta2, but its changelog reflects that the latency mod was removed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Sorry for leaving that out! I am back on the v3beta3 version, since the volume increase is what I need most.

I was using the low latency without the louder on my sip successfully, but then @phychmasher posted his QoS information. That made such a difference that I went back to the louder patch. Still waiting for the latency to be added to it. (fingers crossed)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
For those using CSipSimple and VOIP.ms, maybe only a VOIP.ms issue, this thread was interesting for a situation where incoming calls over Wi-Fi would get confused and have registration issues.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgrinst1:
And just to throw an old friend back out there that has upmarketed itself... "Spare Phone" from the Play Store now features integration wth the native dialer. There is also an option to change your GV forwarding phones on the fly from the app.

I use a Galaxy Exhibit running GB 2.3.6. This app runs flawlessly once you set up the earpiece gain and speaker gain for no echo, Also, latency is very low and calls over wifi are tremendous. In this instance - best setup possible.

I've also run this over the CM9 (beta) ROM which doesn't work as well yet. That's why it's still in beta.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krazykeyur:
According to it's Play Store page, the app uses 1.2MB data per minute.. (about 165 kbps per second) which means it's using PCMA/PCMU codec. Not really usable at all when on 3G/4G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgrinst1:
That's right - same as Groove. I have actually used it over 3G/4G and it performs pretty well but if your connection is not that good, this is not the most suitable. For Wifi, though, I haven't found better.

This is purely a Groove alternative, which IMO, performs better.

That does look to be worth a look. I may have to give it a go.
