Tried it, the native dialer looses SIP registration as soon as the screen goes off (watching the registration status on my voip.ms account). Nowhere in this thread do I remember seeing that anyone uses native for incoming calls, just outgoing, there are plenty of other options that work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAmAN00bie:
Sigh... I was really hoping for this to work. It would be perfect to just be able to use the native dialer alone, but I guess I'll just stick with SIPDroid then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
There might be a way, some searching in this thread and XDA may find something. Don't give up yet.

After I found this thread a few months back, got sipdroid and pbxes working but with some issues, then tried csipsimple and voip.ms with perfect service for me, my SIP quest ended. This is the only SIP related thread I keep reading.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
I don't have any issues with the native dialer losing it's connection when the screen is off. I used sipdroid to create my username-200 account, then removed the sipdroid app.

In the native dialer I enter my username-200 and password, server as pbxes.org, check used for outbound calls, under optional settings changed the port to 5061 and transport type to TCP. I make sure to check receive incoming calls (above the SIP accounts section).

Screen goes off and calls will come in.

I do use the secure settings plugin and tasker to uncheck "receive incoming calls" when I am not using my wifi only Google Voice Airplane Mode setup so that it helps to minimize battery drain. I've been pleased with my battery life with this setup- I think having the cell radio off for the majority of the time makes up for the SIP receive incoming calls being checked.

Let me know if you need any other info or help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IAmAN00bie:
My set up is the EXACT same. But my phone refuses to wake up when calls come in! What device are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ymshulman:
I have Google voice set to receive messages straight, and i am doing whatever I can think of to try to set up gv integration to work properly. I have tried both free and paid versions, and have installed and uninstalled everything multiple times, but still no dice. I have gotten it to the point where messages show up properly in the stock messaging app, but when texts come in, I'm still getting notified by the Google voice app.

Any ideas? This is driving me batty, I hate the Google voice app, and I think the stock app is absolutely gorgeous.

GSM Galaxy Nexus - maguro. Running the latest CM10 nightly (11/26)

You have your wife settings to never sleep, right.

The wife doesn't need need to sleep - she needs to be up making breakfast!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zAlbee:
LMAO! It took me some time to realize milkmandan meant to say "wifi". BTW, are you using the Wifi High Performance widget? It helped me with Sipdroid and Groove.

For anyone who has problems with GV SMS integration, are you using 4.1 or 4.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acegolfer:
(Resolved)

I'm having an issue with receiving calls w/ wifi at work. (Everything is fine w/ home wifi.)

Here's my setup.

sipdroid + pbxes + GV

it's registered (green dot)

Behaviors:

1. I can make outbound calls. But GV incoming calls don't ring sipdroid. Only the Tmo cell rings.

2. If I kill sipdroid and run talktatone, GV incoming calls can ring talkatone.

3. I tested this both on N4 and N7. Same symptoms.

4. I changed the port from 5061 to other ports that pbxes supports. Nothing works.

5. I can receive GV incoming calls using simonics SIP credentials.

Any ideas?

(edit) I did a combination of things to get pbxes ring incoming calls.

1. Delete account at simonics. (It seems simonics is monopolizing google chat even when SIP is not registered.)

2. Remove/add google chat in google voice settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krazykeyur:
The problem with this setup in my opinion is that there is no way you can choose codecs when using Native SIP dialer + PBXes.. so you always PCMA/PCMU codec.. which is very data intensive (about 150kbps). A better option, in my opinion, is using voip.ms even though it's not free. You can use GSM codec (which would be around 30kbps total) and hence you would be able to use it while on data plan too. Cost would be $1/month for the DID and 1 cent/minute for incoming/outgoing calls.

I've been using this setup (for outgoing calls only since I have ported my actual number to TMobile) and it works pretty well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Oh, jeez. +1 for Swift Key...

I love this thread, but it's definitely given me some fits of typos and "doh, I didn't search hard enough" moments...

I do not use the high performance wife (I mean WIFI :P) widget.

Turn of notifications for Google voice under app info? Sounds like it should work

Hey I hope this isn't too off-topic but what are your guys opinions on Republic Wireless

republicwireless.com
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] post-mortem:
I like the idea, and can even live with them using Sprint phones (CDMA), but what I can't stand is that you have to buy the phones from them. Well, phone, since they only actually have one phone available. They will not activate a phone you didn't buy from them, which means that when you leave republic wireless, your phone has no resale value (unless you flash it to Sprint, then sell it as a used Sprint phone).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
Playing around with this on my VZW Nexus before I switch to GSM and it works well.. The only issue I have is on incoming calls the quality is remarkably less then the outbound calls. I'm using a 20/10 WiFi network so it shouldn't be an issue there
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Two things.

1 - they are a Sprint MVNO and Sprint coverage is only 1900 mhz and really bad where I live and work in rural coastal CA. I left another Sprint MVNO that was a great deal because I could not make or receive calls 90% of the time, nor retrieve the voice mails left from missed calls. YMMV

2- Sprint/CDMA means you cannot use the pentaband Galaxy Nexus with all of the advantages it offers, which is the primary focus of this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mercado79:
CSipSimple (which has built-in dialer support) gives you the option to change the codec based on fast/slow bandwidth. So, going by the info on PBXes.com, the following codecs are supported on their free account: G711, G726, iLBC, Speex, GSM, H263 Video

Which of these would be best to use for a fast connection and which would be best for a slow one? Is it safe to assume GSM would be your recommendation for calls made over cellular data?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ellroy80:
How do you do this? Do you have "Receive SMS messages on this phone" checked, or leave it unchecked?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] acegolfer:
I have done more experiments to figure out this 15 second issue with pbxes.

I have set up simonics google voice gateway. Using simonics SIP credentials in sipdroid, it rang for full 25 seconds till GV voicemail answered. So this 15 second limitation is a pbxes limitation.

However, I now like that it only rings for 15 seconds. If I'm in a bad 3g area, I can wait for 15 seconds and then answer the call using cell voice. (I couldn't find a way to decline the call in sipdroid. The only option when it rings is to slide up to answer.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schumia:
pbxes enforce account deletion without personal data

Thank you all as I've been saving a bundle using the T-mobile $30 plan using PBxes + google Voice. Here's the email I got from Pbxes every once in a while however send me an email, wanting me to input personal data so they can "clean up" their account info:

"...

Hi,

for your newly created PBXes account schumia please add your Personal

Data (name, address, etc.) using a web browser. Data is currently

incomplete or invalid.

Otherwise assuming that you don't want to keep your account, we

will delete it in a week.

Thanks for your cooperation.

Best regards,

i-p-tel

..."

The problem is that I did provide and fill in all the info under "Personal Data" at pbxes.com and yet my account was still removed 2 months ago - I had to create another one and start over. I don't want to have to do this every 2 months.

Does anyone else share the same problem?

Jeff
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phychmasher:
Ugh, YES. I've been using this set up for 4 months now and I've gotten my pbxes.org account turned off 3 times. Haven't gotten it yet this month :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muyoso:
Been using it for six months and never had them cancel it. You sure you guys are filling out all the personal info?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ymshulman:
Using 4.2 on a nexus 4. And if I was getting double notifications I'd try turning off those from the Google voice app, but I'm only getting notifications from the Google voice app and not the messaging app- although the messages are showing up in both apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
1: you can pretty much port any number. If worse comes to worse you have Verizon assign a new number to your line while simultaneously having Google Voice take the number.

2: if your positive T-Mobile is where you want to stay then go ahead and port it. You would just use Google Voice to maybe call someone back on VOIP if you were out of your 100 minutes. I personally love Google voice. Loss of MMS isn't a biggie in my book and the messages go through much faster IMO. I have no issue using Google Voice for messaging, calling and I've been using it for voicemail since it was introduced.

What i been doing is giving out my phones number if someone wants to send me an MMS or just email me, and using Google Voice through the stock messaging app to handle all my messaging. I also use the stock SIP dialer w/Pbxes to make calls while on WIFI and the stock number gets the call if I'm out and about.

I haven't switched yet but I've been testing it all out and I am very impressed so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] austriker27:
looks like most of your questions were answered by altimax..

I noticed the other day I got a MMS from someone on my contact list to my google voice number. However instead of going via google voice it happened to show up in my gmail inbox with the image attached. I never do MMS so I wonder if this was a recent fix that google implemented or what because I remember when I started gvoice it NIGO'd MMS... Just curious if anyone else has had this happen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ymshulman:
How were you able to set up using Google voice through the stock messaging app? I haven't been able to get gv integration working on the nexus 4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Was it sent from a Sprint number?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] austriker27:
Nah Im pretty such it was att, but it was several months ago so Im only about 40% sure. Although since then I have not any MMS (but I dont often get them).. So maybe I am just going crazy and it never actually happened..

Sorry I feel like this must have come before but I couldnt find it when searching..

I upgraded my ROM to the newest version (well released a few months ago) (I am using a G2, running mimicry based on CM)

And it gave me the option of installing T-Mobile's Wi-fi calling app. How anyone used this? It seems when I enable it it turns off my radio. Does it function the same as sipdroid (etc) but without having to use a site like pbxes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes it does, but it also uses your T-Mo minutes, even though you are not on the cell network. It is simple, straight, and clear. I used it on my Galaxy Exhibit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muyoso:
I've got it working perfect. Set Google voice to receive text messages within Google voice. Then install GV SMS integration with root integration. Make sure the phone restarts when it integrates or it hasn't done it correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vivix729:
Lets say I want to set up voip.ms for JUST outgoing calls, when needed. Before I plunge $25, I'd like to know if it's possible to get the CallerID to display my T-Mobile # when placing calls (won't be using Google Voice). I tried setting CallerID settings in PBXes.org account settings, and in the CSipSImple app, but neither actually worked.

So, if I assign my T-Mobile as caller id in voip.ms account portal, will that number show up as the number when I place a call? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] austriker27:
Has anyone had the prepaid widget work for them lately? It hasn't updated my minute count for the last week or so, I wonder if T-Mobile changed their choices or something.

sent from my rocking HTC G2 loaded with ICS
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes. I have my GV number as CID in both voip.ms and CSipSimple and that is what people see when I call them; the number really has to come from the outgoing SIP gateway, and I can confirm that voip.ms works, but note I am paying for premium calling to guarantee that CID is shown to callers. Your $25 lasts a long time. I am paying for premium calling and an incoming DID @ 99 cents per month for incoming. I added $25 on Sept.9th and my balance now is $19.86. Such a deal!

---------- Post added at 09:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

It has been broken for a month or more. Direct dialing the #225# USSD fails as well. I have searched if they changed the code, but the TMo My Account shows to use that USSD as well.

I just got a PrePay Widget Pro update today, but am home on wifi where my cell signal is very bad, so cannot see if it fixed anything or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schumia:
Hi Muyuso,

Yeah I made sure that everything on that "Personal Data" page is filled out, address, email, phone and everything and I don't know why I still got that email. I'm sure email is auto generated, but I hope before account deletion, at least they check that they don't remove accounts that INDEED have personal data filled..

It's just an hassle having to do it every so often...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vivix729:
Awesome, thanks. I don't need to create a sub-account, right, for my purposes? And do I need to use 1 before dialing a US number, since all my contacts simply start with area code?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
I don't use GV Integration for 2 reasons... 1: the developer seems to have abandoned it 2: it requires a little too much access for my needs and it seems to breakdown with no warning.

That said just change the setting in Google Voice to "receive via native messaging app".

From there forward it is simple. When you get a message add the Google assigned number as an alternate contact and it'll come under their name..

Here are the downsides:

I haven't yet figure out how to send new messages through Google voice without sending it through the GV app.. Once the thread is setup the stock messaging app will take over.

It sometimes takes a single message longer the 160 and splits it, and it comes through out of order... Its annoying lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muyoso:
That works, but you can't text when in airplane mode using that method. So if you are using the tasker setup like I am, it means that texting doesn't work the majority of the day. . . .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ymshulman:
Ah I have been trying to avoid rooting and the rabbit hole of roms that's sure to follow...

Have you tested using the standard, non root method for integration, and seeing if that would work? Cause i would seriously consider rooting just for this...

My big hangups with the Google voice so are that it's really ugly compares to the gorgeous stock messaging app, and also that it doesn't have expandable notifications, along with contact pictures in the notification bar. I loved those. It happens to be, the app is also really slow, but I find that accessing it through the widget makes it work fast enough.

Can anyone (or, preferably, a few people) chime in on if they've tried using gv integration with the root or non root method on the Nexus 4, and how it's worked out for them?

Thanks, all you guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
Yes it does. Because your actually using Google Voice to do the texting it, it just passes it through the stock messaging app.

Also to the other guy (sorry multiquote doesn't work on tapatalk HD) you use the stock messaging app so everything works perfect including all the features of the stock messaging app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonderpotato:
Anyone tried the stock internet calling feature + pbxes + google voice yet? It's a lot more stable for me compared to any of the app options. The only catch is you need a pbxes soho account ($5 a month) for it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danlo:
If you're going to pay for the SoHo edition of pbxes.org why not just get the Skype subscription? It's $3/month for US and Canada unlimited calling. I'm using that and it seems to be working very well so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonderpotato:
Well I can't keep my old number with skype. Plus I can have multiple numbers for pbxes under the same account, for example both my personal number and business number rings my cell phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tom1l21:
I have Tasker and Secure Settings installed. It allows you to create a Taker profile that can be used to turn off Native SIP registration on whichever context you choose. I chose to disable it when not on WiFi. Works great!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, as discussed just yesterday, you cannot use the best codecs of pbxes or voip.ms for call clarity and low overhead.

Well, day before yesterday, still pretty fresh. http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34856790&postcount=1475

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

I had some issues with sip registration and forwarding to mobile when not registered without a sub-account; creating a sub-account solved it. It might be because I have all calls go from GV -> voip.ms DID -> mobile if no answer or no sip registration.

No need for 1+ dialling in the US of A.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muyoso:
Google voice passes incoming text messages to the messaging app, but if you try using the messaging app to respond while in airplane mode, it doesn't work. Trust me, I have spend hours messing around with trying to get text messaging to work and if something as simple as ticking "use stock messaging app" in Google Voice was all that was needed, there would be absolutely no need for GV SMS Integration or anything like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
You are entirely correct. I never had the need to use airplane mode so i never had that glitch... But using GrooveIP Forwarder would alleviate the need to use airplane mode. So the texts would get sent and they would be using the Google Voice number. I guess thats a work around
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krazykeyur:
Just a reminder to folks:

PBXes.org is based somewhere in Europe (Germany I think). So your calls will hop to Europe before they come back to US if you're making US-to-US calls (which should be most of your calls most likely)

Voip.MS has different servers that you can choose (New York, Montreal, Toronto, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Atlanta, LA, Tampa, London).. so depending on your location, you can pick the server closest to you.

This might not matter when you're on wifi, but it will when you're on 3G/4G.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pkt_Lnt:
It will affect call latency on wifi as well, and that is the major issue with wifi voip calling. Just ping the servers above and you can see a huge difference. That is why I went with voip.ms, since the ping time / latency was dramatically lower with the closest server. Then use the low latency patch from vonVideo if you have a GNex and it works so well that no one I talk with ever says anything about our calls, a good thing!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
Pkt_Lnt and someone else were the reason I jumped from pbxes to voip.ms. That g729 codec is a beast and with the regional servers I almost never have an issue. If I do, I just use up the 100 minutes for short important calls. Although I was able to maintain a reasonable call often with pbxes/sipdroid/speex-codec.

I had to drop the low-latency patch with JB 4.2. :( It isn't a super noticeable difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Crummy:
I apologize for my ignorance, but with 152 pages of comments I'm a little confused.

So I currently have Verizon, and am overpaying for service and am highly interested in this $30/month plan as I have been and am planning on switching to T-Mobile as soon as the Nexus 4 is back in stock. I am an IT admin and am on-call once a week about every 6 weeks, as well as use my phone for personal and work use. My usage varies as if I am in the office I don't answer, but call back on my desk phone, however when out and about I use my cell. I average about 200-400 minutes a month, give or take. I've already purchased the SIM card for the phone as a first step of moving over. Besides the $30/month plan, the 450 minutes, unlimited data/text for $60 is the only other plan I am interested in. With that said......

1. If I were to do the $30 month, would it be a decent idea to get a new number on my SIM card and have that as the primary number on the phone, but port my current number to google voice and use it on my phone as my primary outgoing, incoming line, having the t-mobile number as a backup for mms? If so what would be the best app (free or paid) to be able to use my google voice number as a VoIP line (to not use the 100 minutes) while I am out an about? Not everywhere I go (especially driving a few hours away from the office) has WiFi, so what app would use my data service, not WiFi, or the combination of both depending on where I am?

2. Would it just be more simple to do the $60/month plan and not have to worry about it? Which would still save me around $30 (just complained to Verizon and received $10 off a month for 12-months).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muyoso:
PBX has servers all over the world. I use one in New York. Its easy to choose in the settings which one you want and it takes 15 seconds for them to switch servers.

That said, yea, VoIP.ms has significantly better pings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rtype0:
I was unable to locate on pbxes where to change servers. Can you elaborate on how you did so?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] muyoso:
Under personal data. Its under timezone/datacenter.

Coming From Sprint Integrated Google Voice

Hi folks. I am currently finishing up the last month or so of my Sprint contract, but will be switching to this wonderful plan as soon as possible. Right now, I use Google Voice on my (Sprint) Galaxy Nexus and my Google Voice Number is the same as my Sprint Number, as I ported my number to Sprint and then set up Google Voice Integration on the phone. I believe this was a special deal with Sprint, where their phones could be better integrated with Google Voice....but I could be wrong. The main motivation for the integration at the time was Visual voicemail on the Galaxy Nexus.

I know the (amazingly detailed!) Guide said the "real" T-Mobile number doesn't matter as long as my Google Voice number stays the same, but I just want to make sure I don't accidentally do something stupid and loose my existing number.

Can someone confirm that if I dropped my Sprint plan completely, I would not lose my existing Google Voice number? I know, logically, I shouldn't....but just making sure there isn't something weird with the Sprint "integration" where if I lost one, I'd loose the other.

Also, what would happen if I did port my existing number (again, used both by Sprint and Google Voice) to the T-Mobile Sim Card? Would Google Voice see it had been ported to another carrier and make me choose another number....or would everything continue to work as it does now (where both Google Voice and the T-Mobile sim card/phone would use the same existing number?

Could anyone that has gone through the same transition tell me what their process was, or if there were any complications?
