Cool, good to know. Do you know which passwords don't accept special chars? Since you had a green dot, at least your Extension password was working fine (and obviously you were able to login to the pbxes website).

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] James62370:
When you log into pbexs.org, click "Trunks", and then "GTalk/your google voice e-mail address". Where it asks for your username and password: special characters are not allowed there. They are not passed through properly and therefore does not access your google voice account.

I also noticed under "Extensions" then "Sipdroid <200>" you need to re-enter your password there as well or Sipdroid does not register properly. Twice after deleting my SipDroid account, I noticed there was no password set for that extension.

Though I finally got SipDroid and CSipSimple working, unfortunately, I did not notice the call quality any better than GrooveIP or Talkatone. There was always a delay and CSipSimple had more delay for me than SipDroid. Also with CSip, I was not able to use my home WiFi, could not hear any outbound calls until I used my cellular connection first and then switched back to my wifi connection. My guess is that it might be a firewall issue.

The other issue for me is that I use a OBIHAI device at home, when using SipDroid or CSipSimple, my OBIHAI device always takes priority and thus my cell phone never rings. When I use GrooveIP or Talkatone, it appears to take priority over my OBIHAI device which makes sense if I'm not at home and would like to use VOIP on my cell. It would be great to have them all ring at the same time, but I have not found a solution for this since they are all using the Google Voice's XMPP for audio. If anyone has any feedback in order to make all my devices ring that would be great.

I would like to thank everyone who has helped. It was a good learning experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PapaWangsta:
Saw this over att thread. Can any1 confirms this?

The new Google Voice update uses cell phone's minute instead of data plan?

I thought this update just Improved the reliability of SMS delivery??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Telemachus13:
The Google Voice app has always used cell minutes for calls. If you want to use data for calls you need a separate app that supports voip calls like SipDroid or GrooveIP.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Whyzor:
I just upgraded from HTC Sensation to Nexus 4, still using Talkatone since I like the 0.5MB/min & compatibility with less-than-ideal data connections compared to Groove IP's 1.2MB/min. I noticed the same issue described in post #2's comparison, Talkatone loses connection when it's sleeping on wifi, so I turned down the setup -> connection -> timeout interval from 5 min default to 1:20 and that's keeps the connection alive without using more battery power. It may be the power saving feature of Nexus4 that's turning off the wifi (even though the wifi settings has 'always on while sleep') Just an FYI for others who like Talkatone but have problems keeping their connections alive to receive calls.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mightybrick:
You can also uncheck the "Wifi Optimization" feature. That has cured some data connectivity issues for me, as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Whyzor:
It was by default on, then I turned it off, didn't notice much of a difference in VoIP network connection reliability, the only thing that made a difference was lowering the timeout value.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphytaffy:
Does anyone have a link to a detailed explanation of setting up SipDroid with PBXes? This guide is great, but seems to skim over that section and I'm really interested in using it. I was able to sign into my PBXes account on SipDroid, but reading do not see a Gmail trunk option when I log into PBXes on my browser. Would greatly appreciate anyone who could walk me through this process.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] post-mortem:
Have you seen this thread?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphytaffy:
Thanks! It appears that I was neglecting the '-200' in my username when trying to set up PBXes myself since I already had an account.

Does anyone happen to know how, or if, this can work with a phone that only has a Wifi connection? In other words, my phone has no cell phone number associated with it (not signed with any carrier) and I would only like to use this device over a Wifi connection to make and receive calls. SipDroid shows a green dot in my notification pull-down, but every time I try to make a call, it dials and then hangs up immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acegolfer:
Yes, it works. I have set it up on my android tablets (wifi only).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HowDoIVoIP:
After setting all this up on my Samsung Galaxy Note II and trying PBXES/CSipSimple on mine and my girlfriend's phones, I really think setting up your own FreePBX server is better. I'm considering making a detailed video tutorial on YouTube (with commentary explaining every step) because of the fantastic results I've had. Check this out:

That's really good battery life and I haven't missed a single incoming call yet. When I was with PBXES, no matter what settings I tried, I would constantly deregister and miss incoming calls. I couldn't be happier with the way I have it set up now and it could be done so easily in a video tutorial but nobody has done it yet. It was pretty difficult to find all of the VALUABLE information across several websites instead of just one place.

I'm even considering talking about compiling your own CSipSimple: http://i.imgur.com/ZEKvcUH.png

Because as of r2180, CSipSimple no longer includes the g.729 codec which many people want so in order to use it, you need your own server with your own compiled version of CSipSimple (or just run the old r2174 nightly). Maybe that's too complex for people, though.

So this is what my server looks like: http://i.imgur.com/YbGou8C.png

It was tricky, but it is SO much better than pbxes. Now only if I can find the motivation to tutorial out...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphytaffy:
As someone who was unable to get this Sipdroid + PBXes setup to work and can't seem to find a detailed tutorial or anyone able to help with my issues, I would very much appreciate a tutorial on your setup. Let that be your motivation!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HowDoIVoIP:
Maybe you or someone else has an answer.

I have Camtasia Studio and I know how to block out stationary data but not while it's scrolling.

I'd have to make separate videos such as

-Introduction

-Hardware/Software requirements

-Setting up Google Voice

-Setting up DDNS

-Router Configuration/Port Forwarding

-Installing IncrediblePBX/VirtualBox

-PuTTY/WinSPC

-Codec Installation

-Setting up your device with FreePBX and CSipSimple

-IPTables/Firewall

-General Server Administration (Backup/Restore/Updates)

-Linux commands for server/phone diagnostics

-???Setting up an IPKALL trunk???

-???Best VoIP applications???

It's actually pretty complex. I haven't even laid out any sort of a plan because just thinking about the amount of work/editing makes me gesticulate wildly.

I've learned SO much about this crap in the past month. I understand that nobody wants to have to earn a PhD in telephony which is why if I were to do this

I'd get straight to the point and omit things most people don't give a crap about.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] raphytaffy:
I definitely understand your concern with the privacy of your information while putting together the tutorial. I would look into Adobe After Effects or Premiere Pro to let you edit your video tutorial and mask whatever you need to. As you mentioned, it is a PITA to set this crap up and I can't stress how helpful a video tutorial would be. It looks like you do have all that you need to make the tutorial, so maybe look into the two software applications I mentioned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
There was a pretty good tutorial on getting a dedicated Asterisk server set up on Amazon's Magical Cloud Thing: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2126964

I've been meaning to give it a try just for ****s and giggles (as I have conceded that I don't really need a VoIP solution anymore - my plan renewed on the 15th of last month, and I've used *12* minutes since then), but it may be something to look at and possibly not quite as complicated as setting up your own physical server. Also, bandwidth.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HowDoIVoIP:
I saw that but I don't like the idea of a time limit. That Amazon server isn't always going to be free.

That's partly WHY I got my own server up was because pbxes has a 1 hour call limit AND a 2000 minute/month limit for free accounts. Source: https://www7.pbxes.com/iptel_virtual-pbx.html

Now the only limit I have is Google Voice and when that free ride will run out. Some say end of 2013 but as far as I know Google hasn't confirmed it, but at least I have other VoIP options now with my own server.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Well, the Amazon server is free for a year, which should at least get me through the end of 2013 when GV could theoretically shut down (I doubt it though). ;) Your route definitely has its own set of benefits and may suit your needs (and others') better, I just wasn't sure if you had seen that other thread. Definitely looking forward to seeing your detailed guide :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] post-mortem:
As am I!

For starters, you would have your own thread, and get a bunch of thanks! You might also get "Recognized Contributor" status on XDA. Alternatively, you could put it up on your own website, and do what you will with the increased traffic...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plee3:
Perhaps you can recreate your setup on another system to be used as a test bed for demonstration purposes. It can use temporary passwords that you can change after you make all your videos or be totally removed if no longer needed. You can also do this using another Google voice account that you can deactivate or remove afterwards.

In any case, thanks in advance for any guides (written or videoed) that you can provide to show us your setup.

Thanks again... plee3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HowDoIVoIP:
All right. The first 10 videos are finished. I worked pretty hard on them.

It's a video tutorial to get your own PBX server up and running. This method is far better than using some other free SIP provider such as pbxes.org in most cases. I go over everything you need including how to get the G.729 codec everyone talks about up and running. I have at least two more planned with the first likely showing how to setup multiple GV accounts on one server. I welcome feedback, corrections, and criticism. Have a good weekend!

Second.. unrelated: Did anyone notice voip.ms now supports SMS?

http://wiki.voip.ms/article/SMS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HowDoIVoIP:
Actually, that IS related! My next video I think is going to be a quick one on IPKALL.com, so if I find value out of voip.ms which I hear a lot of but know nothing about, I'll make a video on it if there's a good reason to. I'm checking it out, and thanks for checking out my videos!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ci-Fi:
You should consider starting your own thread. It would make your videos more accessible and it would be easier to ask/answer questions.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeraldbro:
Was wondering if the Opus & Silk codec can also be installed with this setup?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HowDoIVoIP:
That's a good question. I WANT OPUS on my phone and on my Asterisk server because I have it in Jitsi and it sounds great, but I haven't figured out if you can do it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Do you mean on the Nexus or the Asterisk server? If the Nexus, yes.

CSipSimple supports Silk directly.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csipsimple

Opus is supported with a free plugin.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csipsimple.plugins.codecs.pack1

G.729 is supported with a paid plugin.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.csipsimple.plugins.codecs.g729
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeraldbro:
No, I meant with "howidovoip" setup.

Besides skype, do anyone else use Opus?

Why do csipsimple & voxmobile have opus if no one supports it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
As [MENTION=5242045]HowDoIVoIP[/MENTION] just stated above, Asterisk supports Opus, as does CSipSimple, so how can you say no one supports it? There are probably plenty of software solutions, server and client, that support Opus, you just have not searched them out yet.

Is hangouts going to break Google chat forwarding?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
No, it works fine for me. It stops calls on your computer only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mgamerz:
Is there a better HTTP get address for the airplane mode in tasker? My schools guest network likely blocks port 5222 (GrooveIP to talk.Google.com), but I've noticed that HTTP requests to that server/port combo don't work... Obviously.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] post-mortem:
The original purpose of the http get command is simply to check if the device is connected to the internet. But, if you can't connect to the voip service you want to use due to blocked ports, I guess it doesn't really matter if you can connect to other parts of the internet, as you still wouldn't be able to make calls.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mgamerz:
Mainly the reason is for incoming calls, would rather still get a ring. I'm not sure if it is blocked. It might not be.

Edit: Is the OP still around? The first post could use some updates, like not showing a Galaxy Nexus anymore.

Another item I've found is that you can add 2 items to taskers airplane profile you describe to turn grooveIP on and off while you are on wifi (so while you are out and about you get good call service and you get free calls on wifi which is where the majority of the people here will spend most of their time)

Add an intent broadcast: Misc->Send Intent->com.gvoip.START_GROOVE_IP when you want it to start and use com.gvoip.STOP_GROOVE_IP when you want it to stop (leaving wifi).

You can make 2 additional profiles and turn them on and off if you run out of minutes so that grooveip just always runs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
I use a Galaxy Nexus still on this and it works fine. Others have used this as a guideline for other phones.

I do not use Groove IP, I use CSipSimple and voip.ms, so why change the OP? Many here use alternatives, which are listed in the OP to give choices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mgamerz:
So that people come here to save money and don't go 'well where's the galaxy nexus?'

There's like 200 pages of info here, and a lot has happened after the OP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
There is another superb VoIP thread in the Nexus 4 forum that I follow, even though I do not have that phone, and the information works on any phone. If someone thinks they need the exact phone and hand holding step by step, they are in for a big disappointment. VoIP is not for them at the moment. You have to have some willingness to experiment and learn, and think and try and test to get this working.

If they go 'well where's the galaxy nexus?', then they are in over their heads already, and should probably not be in the middle of this bleeding edge VoIP experiment.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
I still check in on occasion. I'm sorry that I haven't kept the OP up-to-date enough for you. Though really, it is in the Galaxy Nexus forum. I think people might be more confused if they read a thread in a section of the forum dedicated to the Galaxy Nexus and it's going on and on about what you can do with a different device. As for using a different device, though, that is covered in the FAQ: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25930018&postcount=6 I suppose I could update the OP with a comment that the GNex is no longer available, and to just buy whatever the latest Nexus phone might happen to be. Good tip on the intents for GrooveIP though.

I'll add a link to that thread, and also to the route that I'm actually using currently: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2126964.

Please do understand that I created this thread in response to questions I was getting asked frequently about the setup I was using. I don't use any of the messy Tasker stuff anymore, and really only use VoIP for occasional outgoing calls. I typically only use ~30 minutes a month as it is, so VoIP isn't really necessary for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HowDoIVoIP:
I think you should set your own server up rather than use Groove IP, SipDroid, or PBXES.org. They're just not good enough.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9DzN1Pu6-Q&list=PLE_de-PBwrTSUMm-Y48aiOOHt_YyT69t0
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Well there's a trade-off between convenience / ease of configuration, and performance. Some people don't have the know-how or resources to set up their own servers, so GrooveIP works well enough for them.

That said, I'll add a link to your thread in my little FAQ thing.

I'm currently on a T-mobile family plan (I'm not the primary account holder, though)... is it possible for me to even sign up for this plan? My 2 year contract ends in a few months and I'd like to switch from Classic Unlimited: Talk + Text to this one. I feel that it's about time to get data for my two year old smartphone, haha, and this one fits my needs perfectly! :D

I know that the $30 plan is for new customers only, but I read in another forum that a girl was able to get it after her family plan ended. Like me, she was not the primary account holder. She said that the T-Mobile guys were able to do it for her because she was opening her own account, and they treated it as if she was coming from a different carrier. But I just want to know what y'all think.

Also, if I am able to sign up for it, do you guys think I'll be able to port my current number from the postpaid plan to the prepaid one? I'd rather not get a new phone number since I've had it for so long already... and having to port it in then out from Google Voice seems kinda like a hassle.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this has already been answered! I did try to search it up before asking. :eek:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roman5:
Since upgrading to ICS, the default browser is pretty much unusable. If I scroll down a page, after a few seconds the page then decides to scroll back to the top, interrupting what I'm reading. Is this a fault or a setting?

Google satnav volume is much quieter than with gingerbread, how do I make it louder?

During navigation, it decides to sometimes flip between the female voice and a male voice. How can I fix that?

Is this all because of a possible corrupt upgrade or is ICS just crap?

Smells like a bad upgrade . Reflash firmware .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roman5:

With opera browser, it's showing the old style forum :confused:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roman5:
Can anyone please help? How do I reflash the firmware? Does that mean reinstalling 4.0.3 and where do I redownload it? Not only do I have the problems listed above, but now when I connect the phone to my PC, it recognises it and 'GT-1900' shows up, but when I go to open it to see my files, it takes ages and then comes up as a blank window. So i can't access my phone files on my PC. It worked once but won't do it anymore. What about the factory reset option on the phone, does that put the firmware back to gingerbread and should I try that and backup my data first?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
It may sound stupid, but that problem is mainly down to you using a different USB port on the computer. It is usually the first USB port you connect your phone on a particular pc that will work fine. After that any other port on that pc will show the problems you described.

I noticed that problem and tested it out on 3 different computers. It didn't matter what USB port I started with, but it only worked on the first used USB port of each pc.

Yes I would back up my data first.

Although a factory reset will wipe everything back to a clean latest ROM you flashed. If however there was a corruption in the flashign of the ROM, then tha problem should remain. If you are going to all that trouble of wiping the phone, then you may as well reflash a fresh download of the ROM you want.
