That looks right. The "200" is normal.

Have you tried from a different wifi access point? Personally, I have found that VoIP doesn't work at all on my office wifi (I tried all the VoIP programs, they show registered just like your screenshot, but calls don't go through). However, VoIP works fine with my home wifi router. Obviously I can't troubleshoot my work wifi, since I don't administer that; it might just be blocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] throwback1718:
Well I done messed up and tried to remove the 200 and it stopped working

I put back the 200 and it still doesnt work.. IDK what I messed up now lol

Hi, Great guide! Thanks

I am trying to follow your guide and i realise that i am not sure how to create the tasker profile.

Can you share your tasker profile so i could use it as a start point to make my own?

Thank you very much,

Ángel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] austriker27:
Nice. Although I went to test it I out and it loads my minutes and data usage in the app but the widgets won't work. The minute widget says I need to delete and readd it and the data gives me the attached screenshot (just kidding the app tells me to download latest app from app store, which I have, because pic upload isn't supported or something. Lame)

My current Tasker set up is quite a bit more complicated than what's listed in the OP. I'm afraid that even if I shared it, you'd have more work to do reworking it to work for you than if you just built it from scratch. Is there a particular step that you are unclear on? I did my best to provide step-by-step instructions for getting folks started with Tasker.

Very odd. Have you tried uninstalling/reinstalling the app, or at least clearing the application's data? I've not had any problems with it on my device over the past few days.

I updated to 4.2 this morning and it seems to have broken my tasker profile it doesn't go into airplane mode now. Just wondering if this is happening to anyone else or if I just messed something up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkpollo:
I didn´t find the step-by-step instructions, but it is ok.

I will try my self and let you know if i am not sure how to do something. Just one question:

Do you recommend to use talkatone only on Wifi or 4G will be fine too?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Yup, seeing the same on mine. Hopefully Tasker will be updated soonish to work around it. I wonder if AutoAP works? I may give that a go.

EDIT: Nope, AutoAP doesn't work on 4.2 either. They must've changed something.

Try it for yourself and see. Personally, I found any VoIP solution to be too flaky on mobile data to rely upon it. Some folks say it works fine for them though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] darkpollo:
I will. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Has anyone tried the GVAM setup with stock 4.2? I just installed it and am using Tasker 1.3.2u1 and my toggle task no longer works. I can't figure it out. I've even tried simple mock profiles that just activate when connected to wifi and should specify that only the cell radio should be turned off. Help!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Reeebo:
Groove IP has been updated and works with 4.2 again! Just waiting on the Google voice fix now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] throwback1718:
I hope groove works. I spent 5 bucks on the app the other day
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chadd_k2:
i just emailed the dev for AutoAP about not going into airplane mode and this was his reply:

"Unfortunately Google has removed the ability for third party apps to toggle airplane mode. Sorry."

so that would explain tasker not working either.

i'll probably keep autoAP installed just to turn on/off grooveIP
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Hmm, yep. It looks like the settings for Airplane Mode were moved into a newly-created Settings.Global class for API level 17, which gets treated similarly to the Settings.Secure class (which means applications can read the values but cannot change them). This gives me a glimmer of hope that a root-enabled plug-in like SecureSettings may be able to help us out with this in the future.

ALSO: looks like Google Voice received an update: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.googlevoice
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chadd_k2:
what will happen if i just leave airplane mode off? i just tested an outgoing call with both wifi and 3G enabled and my google voice number displayed on the caller id, so i was assuming that i was using grooveIP and making a voip call and not using any tmob minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
As long as you have GrooveIP set to handle all calls when wifi is enabled, nothing will change for outgoing calls. The only difference might be for incoming calls - you may receive duplicate inbound calls, where one rings your cellular number and one rings your SIP client (GrooveIP).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ci-Fi:
Anyone else have trouble sliding up the box to answer an incoming call with Sipdroid/GV? Sometimes I slide it up, but it doesn't stay up, it slides back down so I can't answer. Or it has trouble sliding to begin with.

Happens on Galaxy Nexus GSM running AOKP JELLY BEAN BUILD 5 and Galaxy S I9000 running Slim Bean 2.9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plee3:
Yes I also find it very difficult to slide up both when I was running stock 4.1.2 and still happening now when I am running stock 4.2 on my GSM Galaxy Nexus.

It is really frustrating as I only answer successfully about 50% of the time.

Do you think we can replace SipDroid with another VoIP app like CSipSimple?

Thanks... plee3
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
CSipSimple works just as well as SipDroid, it just doesn't have the handy direct integration with PBXes.org like SipDroid does. You'll have to manually configure the server settings, but you can copy those directly from SipDroid I believe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thaprinze:
The sipdroid interface is terrible, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.

Does anyone have an issue with using the dialpad within calls? There's a noticeable delay, but more importantly, the digits don't register correctly. When attempting to join a conference bridge for work today, I entered the 6-digit number multiple times, but some digits would be missed, while others would be doubled, tripled, and/or quadrupled. This was tested both over wifi and HSPA+ with a very good connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theroblog.com:
Wow

Seems like an AWFUL lot of trouble to save $26 a month.

I get:

-Roaming: most prepaids you don't

-4 gig at HSPA+ speeds, supposedly throttled after. No hard limit.

-unlimited text/calls

$56 after tax, no contract.

Yeah, there's cheaper stuff like 2G unlimited, etc. but unless you just like a challenge my time is worth more.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
It's definitely not for everyone. For me, I make few enough calls that I don't even use any VoIP solution anymore. My cycle ends on the 18th and I've still got 68 minutes remaining. So no trouble for me, and for my usage scenario I'd much rather be saving the $312 annually - hell, I save enough more than you that I could buy an 8GB Nexus 4 without going out of pocket ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zAlbee:
Yes and yes (with Sipdroid). I recently had to call tech support for my cable company several times, and they have an automated system that asks you to press 1 for option 1, etc. About 30% of the time, the system would say it couldn't hear my selection.

It wasn't a big deal for me, since I only needed to press 1 number at a time... Can't imagine having to enter 6 at once though... haha. Just do it slowly with pauses in between?

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:48 PM ----------

It sounds like a lot of trouble (and it is, at first). But it is well worth it. You only have to set it up once, and then you should be good to go. After that, the $26 (or whatever) savings each month just keeps coming with no additional work. :)

Also, with GV/VoIP, I also get free long distance to Canada, which is icing on the cake for me, since I call back there once a week. No more LD phone cards. :D

$26 a month is $312 a year. you basically get a new free nexus every year

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lythandra:
Anyone get taken off the plan?

I was supposed to renew yesterday and instead my phone went dead. I called T-Mobile and they confirmed that it did not renew the monthly plan because it had no plan associated with it. They said they would fix it and I wake up this morning and check my TMobile online account and they stuck me on a pay as you go plan with no internet. I'm pretty annoyed.

In my online account on TMobile.com, there is also no way to change back to the old one as its not listed.

I'm about to call back but I'm not expecting much help from them as they already screwed me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
My account didn't renew either even with funds available. Called customer service they pushed my funds through no problem and I was at full speed with a text message in 5 minutes or less.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lythandra:
Can you check your Account Online and confirm that the one we use is still listed? Its not listed on mine now.

I want to get some ammo before I call again.

A screenshot would be great if you don't mind.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
This should show what you need.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lythandra:
Online chat was useless.

Anyone have a phone number to call? I can't find one on their site.

I'm at work so need a real number to call, not the * numbers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
1-877-778-2106

You can still use your cell phone to call the * number. That's what I did. My phone still allowed full T-Mobile access/calling.

Just keep going through any prompts like you are trying to "add funds" even with a credit card and eventually when you reach a person just explain the problem and that you couldn't find a customer service tech support line number but would love if they could transfer you to someone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lythandra:
Thanks for the number. I got a person that spoke without to much of an accent.

They tried to tell me that it was a promotional plan again and again. Stay strong and tell them that it is still listed on T-Mobiles website and it is not a promotional plan.

Then they tried to tell me that I had changed the plan. Stay strong again and tell them that you did not change the plan. T-Mobile changed the plan without your authorization or knowledge.

Then they tried to say that I had let the plan lapse. Again, state that you did not let it lapse as it is only $30 and you had sufficient funds in your account for it. It did not autorenew as it should have.

Finally they stated they would put back the old plan but they tried to put a warning in my account that if something happens that I would not get the plan again. I objected strongly and who knows what they stuck in the account. I work in a large metal building so I can't even check my phone to see if they did everything right.

This has been very annoying and I suspect it will happen again next month.

It seems like they are trying to get rid of us.

blah
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
That sucks. I hope it is a one time issue. They will be getting a lot of complaints this month. Hope they don't screw us over.

Mine renews on the 7th, it has been fine auto renewing for the past five months, but I check it at 5am when I get up, just to make certain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
For some good news. Some combination of stock 4.2 or new radios/RILs have really helped my speeds. I went from ~6mpbs download ~2mpbs upload to this:

Down: 11-13 mpbs

Up: 3.5-4 mpbs

This was done in same location at work as I always do my tests. I never cracked 7mpbs or very rarely and today effortlessly breaking 10mpbs download.

It was unlikely that T-Mobile changed something between yesterday and today.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chadd_k2:
same happened with my. my renew date was 11/11 and when i called they said they had a "system upgrade" that day that somehow prevented renews from going through. they pushed it through while i was on the phone.

my wife's renew was 11/12 and hers updated just fine on it's own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lythandra:
Good news.

I just confirmed that they put me back on the correct plan.

So if yours does not renew just call them. Be polite but be firm. Do not accept any excuses.

A good number to use is: 1-877-778-2106 to reach a live person after a few prompts.

I think my experience was an extreme one, the first rep I talked to messed it all up by changing my plan to the pay as you go one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kenjiwing:
So got my Nexus 4 today.. my activation kit for tmobile wont be here until Monday.

I went into the tmobile store and they refused to sell me a tmobile activation kit without selling me a plan said it was impossible. I called another store and they said the same thing. I was able to get them to give me a sim card but you cant activate the sim without an activation code thats apparently included in the kit.

Anyone have any ideas? If not my nexus is a brick until Monday
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chadd_k2:
it's a wifi enabled brick at least :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] edgeball:
I ordered 2 activation kits last week by mistake. If they both arrive today I've got a code for you
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] codesplice:
Nope, I'm afraid that is the standard policy. If you're desperate, you can get a burner phone from Walmart to activate on the $30/mo plan and just use the SIM card out of that. Be prepared to spend ~$20-30 for that though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c0LdFire:
Not the cheapest, but the local Best Buy here sells T-Mobile SIM card activation kits for $10 over by the rest of the prepaid stuff. I was able to activate one of them on the $30/mo plan for someone.

Thank you so much.

Xperia U stock ICS+Tmobile+sipdroid+pbxes+gvoice+WIFI high performance+AutoAP

AutoAP seems to works great if you want to save the money for tasker. Which is anyway a great software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plee3:
I was finally able to replace SipDroid with CSipSimple. The only trick was that the username/password for the account in CSipSimple is not the username/password for the pbxes.org web login, but the extension name/password (i.e. the username-200 extension).

Since SipDroid generated a random extension password when you created the pbxes.org account inside SipDroid, you need to set your own extension password using the pbxes.org website.

Once updated, you can then use that extension username and password in CSipSimple when using the CSipSimple wizard for pbxes.org (under the World wide provider list).

Hope this helps... plee3

I am still stumped, google voice does not forward calls to my cell when not on wifi. I am attaching images of my google voice settings.

Also I cant "delete" the tmobile phone in the google voice settings b/c I dont have another physical phone line I could add- so I cant completely remove it and start again..

Any thoughts? This is quite annoying. Basically unless Im home on wifi people call me and basically get the prompt to change my voicemail / check my messages..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plee3:
You don't have a work phone number that you can add temporarily to Google Voice?

If not, perhaps you can get a free incoming phone number from IPKall.com that you can link to your VoIP provider to use as another phone number for Google Voice.

I was using this combination of IPKall.com/concentric.com/CSipSimple for VoIP on Google Voice before switching to pbxes.org/SipDroid and now pbxes.org/CSipSimple.

At least this may give you a real phone number to add to Google Voice so that you can delete and add back your T-mobile number.

Hope this helps... plee3

HEEEELLLLPPPP!!!

Ok, I'm totally confused. Here's my situation:

Nexus 4 arriving monday.

Have the T-Mobile micro SIM/activation kit. Going with the 100 min unlimited data $30 plan.

I don't speak very much on the phone, probably no more than 400 minutes a month maximum, with the overwhelming majority of that to my parents. In addition to that, my place isn't that great for wireless coverage (at least on ATT), so using my wifi to make those calls is appealing. Options:

1) Port my current number to GV and use that almost exclusively via one of the VoIP programs

2) Port my current number to T-Mo and use VoIP/GV to call my parents only, use T-Mo for everything else.

As I see it, the latter solution is simpler. Is there any reason to do the former?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
GV is not a VOIP option it's a call forwarding service. You can port your number to GV & use one of the VOIP options on WiFi & have GV forwarded to your T-Mobile number when WiFi is not available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 850csi:
Right. I guess what I'm asking is this - is there any advantage to using the GV + GrooveIP all of the time if I'm probably not going to be doing much talking?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
400 mins on the $30 T-Mobile plan will cost $60 / month (without a VOIP setup). It all depends on your usage patterns.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bracca:
Hi,

Sharing my experience with VoIP.

I moved my 10-year-old VZW number to Google Voice a year ago. I have not regretted it one bit. New phone, new provider, no matter. Same ol' number.

For me NOTHING (csip, talkatone, sipdroid, GrooveIP, Android built-in sip, and a couple of others whose names I can't remember) has worked as well as Skype. With the others there was always one or more these: delay/echo/dropped (mili)seconds, bad clarity (compression?), and this just made VoIP for me unusable. Skype over wifi voice clarity is great, to me better sounding than cellular (skype-to-cell), and Skype over 3G is very good. Of course you know skypt-to-skype is amazing quality (ear-piece to ear-piece, as I can't stand using speaker).

Neither on Wifi or on VZW 3g have I ever had delay with Skype.

Setup:

- Google voice number is set up as my caller ID on skype. Set up at skype.com. They'll send you a text to confirm that you own that number. Within 24h you have outgoing Skype calls from Android Skype client with your GV number as the caller ID.

- $2.99/month: unlimited minutes to U.S. and Canada

- $60/year gets you a Skype phone number. Set up Google voice to forward to your Skype number. Now you have outgoing and incoming calls through skype, using your GV number.

Average of $38/month gets you 5GB of 4G data, unlimited (v)good-to-great voice calls through Skype VoIP.

Before I bought a plan with Skype I tried it with 800 numbers. It's free. Give it a shot.

Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 850csi:
I think the vast majority of my minutes are used calling one number, while sitting at home where I have wi-fi. Hence I'm thinking I'll just use wi-fi at home for calling my parents with Groove+GV and that's it. I'm fairly confident I wouldn't use the 100 minutes otherwise.

Is there any reason to think that I'm going to have trouble porting numbers between pre-paid carriers in the future?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phychmasher:
No, but once you've made the jump to GV there's very little reason to ever port it elsewhere. Simply forward the number to whatever new phone you get, regardless of the carrier. But, should you need to port it, it's no problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zAlbee:
You don't have to use VoIP exclusively if you port to GV. You can use VoIP or cell and have the same phone number for both.

In fact, if you use option 2 (port to TMO), you'll have to tell people two separate phone numbers (one for VoIP and one for cell). In my opinion, option 1 is better.

You should ask yourself: is there any reason NOT to port your number to GV? The only reasons not to are: 1) No MMS, 2) you have to use GV app for texting, and the latter has a workaround available.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ci-Fi:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeBruin32:
I have a GSII that has no phone service, and an iphone on t-mobile's $30 plan. I'm using talkatone/GV on the iphone to redirect calls to use wifi/3g. I also followed this guide to put sipdroid on my GSII and hit the button to configure GV/PBXES. Making calls from my GSII over wifi works great, but when I receive calls, only the iphone rings. I was hoping it would ring both phones and I could choose which one to pick up. Is there some way I can do this? Thanks.
