Here's my experience with Talkatone/Spare Phone/Groove IP on my home WIFI network 100ms latency 8MB down 1.5MB up. Can't speak upon 3/4G usage as i do not use it with a mobile connection.

Talkatone - Superior to the rest as far as call quality . Can talk as if i was on a landline or cell phone. No delay. Consistent.

Spare phone - I've spent a limited time on it as i use this app as my backup but so far it appears promising. Clear voice quality with no long delay

Groove IP - I started off with this app but eventually moved to Talkatone. Nice interface and options but hard to hold a brisk conversation with the delay. Calling different phone numbers can be a hit and miss as it is inconsistent.
[Nexus 7 General] Whyzor:
I spoke too soon earlier on upgrading to Nexus 4, Talkatone does disconnect (& I would miss calls) on my airplane mode + wifi connection, even with the lowest 1 min timeout ping interval. Back to Groove IP, which does perform better with my new Nexus 4 vs old HTC Sensation. The echo patch delay is reported to be about 200 ms (vs 400+ on HTC Sensation), probably due to the new JellyBean APIs used. Also at 0 mic & 0 earphone gain, a voicemail left on my office line played back just as clear as the announcer voice. I have it currently set to 'never' send keep alive packets, and do notice GrooveIP also disconnecting occasionally, but may need to set it to a higher value so it doesn't.

I've requested this before & would still like to see GrooveIP provide a way to fine tune what that value would be for different people's devices and connections. Either with a notification tone when it loses connection due to timeout, or flash LED notification on the phone. That way the user knows right away when the idle connection is lost rather than having to wait until later the phone is used to find out it wasn't connected for a while.

Also the notification grey icon for both connected & disconnected is only different by the grey x. It would be nicer to provide more contrast between the two states, since it's kinda important to know whether phone calls are going to come in or not. Same complaint about Talkatone's two state icons, but I feel GrooveIP is more responsive to user feedback (thanks snrb_labs).
[Nexus 7 General] Goredrak:
Please add WiFi Bypass to WiFi filter

Snrb Labs. When I use the WiFi filter, and I connect to a WiFi network that I would prefer Groove IP avoid, it wont connect to the cell carrier's 3g/4g service either. It would be nice if Groove IP would still connect to the 3g/4g connection when my phone is on a filtered WiFi network.

Thanks!

Second thing: what setting changes will reduce the delay? I have an almost full second of delay making conversations quite awkward
[Nexus 7 General] markrayski:
I use TextPlus+ for texting and calling on the Nexus 7 and I have no issues whatsoever.
[Nexus 7 General] RR215:
I am using GrooveIP lite on my stock N7 connected to my home WiFi cable connection. I use headphones and get 0 echo. This setup works absolutely perfect. I often ask the people I am calling with it, "how do I sound"....and they always say normal like I am using a land line.

I recall reading somewhere about the speakers being close to the one side mic on the N7 being the possible cause to getting echo and that using headphones works better.....and it does for sure. The call quality is very clear and I have no lagging what so ever using my cable WiFi.

As long as I leave the app running in the background, I get incoming calls as well. This has replaced any land line and my past Vonage VOIP quite amazingly. I am more than pleased using the GrooveIP app. I am not sure if I upgrade to the paid version it will help the echo without using headphones to move the sound output away from the side mic? If for some reason help this echo problem using the N7 as a speaker phone during a call.....I will definitely get the paid GrooveIP app.
[Nexus 7 General] Bob Smith42:
I have an Android Stick computer UG007 ii. Its default audio capabilities are limited to output over HDMI. In Android settings, Sound, Sound Devices Manager the sound output is over Rockport HDMI, and no input device. I added a USB sound card which automatically adds both input and output devices called USB Headphone Set.

The UG007 audio input works via microphone plugged into USB Headphone Set. The USB Headphone Set audio out does not work. So a working audio output configuration requires me to change output to Rockchip HDMI.

When I run Groove IP in this configuration it immediately crashes on load. Fail.

When I run Talkatone in this configuration it works. It also allows me to configure additionally bluetooth which is not listed under Android Sound, Sound Devices Manager. I now use Talkatone to successfully place calls.

Even though I use Groove IP when its possible, I now change my vote to Talkatone because its working on my Android Stick computer.
[Nexus 7 General] snrb Labs:
If you disable the Jelly Bean specific audio api's from the GrooVe IP troubleshooting settings that may fix the issue. If not please feel free to email me and I'd be happy to help troubleshoot the problem.
[Nexus 7 General] Bob Smith42:
Okay. Thanks for your reply.

The application never displays a single screen, it only crashes. So it is not possible to launch settings nor disable anything via settings.

Please advise if and how I can assist.
[Nexus 7 General] snrb Labs:
If you can email me a logcat capture of the app starting that would help. Make sure you have the latest version. The logcat should have information on what's causing the crash. Not really sure if it's possible or not for you to capture the logcat for that device.
[Nexus 7 General] Bob Smith42:
Attached is logcat.

BUG 01 ##### crash when Settings / USB / Connect to PC (on) {note: can not work without sdcard}

BUG 02 ##### crash when audio configured and working, run three times

BUG 03 ##### crash when audio is HDMI Rockchip HDMI output only, no input devices (e.g. without USB sound card)

Finally, in many hours of testing lots of configurations I found one working method. Its in logcat attachment under:

PAID VERSION WORKING - WTF

Note: In the working log I launch, connect/login and make successful Groove IP call (changed phone# in log).

I used my paid version, but free also works, in a unique configuration to make Groove IP work. Unfortunately, the configuration is WTF unbelievable. Instead of using my USB attached keyboard to launch Groove IP (always fails) I used DroidMote server on UG007 ii and DroidMote client on my phone to successfully launch Groove IP. These failures and one success method are repeatable in tests.

Thank you so much for responding here with support. Hope this helps.
[Nexus 7 General] snrb Labs:
Hm. The crash is really odd. I'm not really sure if there's anything we can do. It's crashing trying to find an xml layout that's in the apk. The only time I've seen that is if the apk is corrupted or incomplete. But that doesn't seem to be the case since you can get things to work if you launch it differently.
[Nexus 7 General] Bob Smith42:
That is interesting.

The one weird thing about UG007 ii stick computer is the layout. The screen is always landscape, like most monitors. The resolution is supposed to be HDMI 720p based but most apps report instead 1280 x 672 (?) even after discounting status bar. And I think the density is 160. Certainly it is somewhat strange. There is a finless bob ROM that switches to 1080p and allows switchable densities 160 & 240. So, it can get more complex.

I will try another test later, e.g. force my monitor to go into portrait mode (sideways) and retest. I have to do this later tonight because I have work now.

Thank you.
[Nexus 7 General] snrb Labs:
The orientation shouldn't matter, the app supports both landscape and portrait. Might want to try just doing a clean install too, uninstall, restart the device, then download and install again. Not sure if it will make a difference. I'll dig through the logs a bit more.

Also where did you purchase the device? I think I may buy one to try.
[Nexus 7 General] Bob Smith42:
I updated my post UG007 ii - rooted, running great with information about stick computer and usb sound card required for microphone input.

I have more information about debugging. Basically I have isolated a very simple pass/fail test. When DroidMote client is connected the GrooveIP launches successfully. When DroidMote client is disconnected the GrooveIP fails to launch. The logcat for these cases is quite trivial and different than other logs. I will capture updated logcat and post soon.

I uninstalled, installed each and every, one by one, and tested combinations for hours. Basically, GrooveIP will *not* successfully run, on its own, on the UG007 ii.

The ONLY successful method is quite painful, requiring root and DroidMote server installed and a DroidMote client connected. With DroidMote server running and client connected you can launch GrooveIP from keyboard, mouse, or any way. In fact, it even works without the USB soundcard connected. You can make calls without USB soundcard but you have no audio input/microphone so no one can hear you. Does not crash with this method.

UPDATE: Attached logcat with simple pass/fail test results.

UPDATE TWO: Cleaned up the logcat attachment.

Do you think Talkatone works out of US?

Hi

As far as I know Google Voice service is for US ip only. I was wondering if talkatone would work out of US because it says we connect to talkatone servers and then they connect to Google Voice servers?

Anyone could use Talkatone of of US without any proxy, IP change?
[Nexus 7 General] NicoGa:
It works in Canada, albeit with a Californian Google voice number.

[Nexus 7 General] alirezayami:
How about any country other than US and Canada? Do anyone knows if Talkatone works?

PS. Also my talkatone connects, call, ring but no audio at all :( My android is Froyo 2.2
[Nexus 7 General] mrazndead:
Forget either one. Get the Vonage app! Way better quality. Free too, and video chat. Linmk it up to your google voice
[Nexus 7 General] alirezayami:
thank you so much for this app. I just have no idea how to link it to google voice.

I just gave my google voice number to activate vonage app but it does not ring when I cal my google voice number?
[Nexus 7 General] Ansextra:
Unless they've changed something the Vonage app will only use your actual mobile number not Google Voice. Has something changed?
[Nexus 7 General] mrazndead:
Nope. There is a work around to get google voice to work with Vonage. You must have a regular cell phone however. In google voice settings on computer, forward the number to your regular cell. In Vonage app on your nexus 7, tell it to call your number to activate, your cell will ring, write down the activation code, then plug it into Vonage app on n7, voila! Vonage activated on n7. Then goto google voice settings and in forward the google voice number to your cell. And now when people call your google voice your n7 will ring, and you can direct dial from n7 with Vonage, video, text and voice all works and superior quality to talk at one and groove ip

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

Vonage company has been around for much longer than talk at one and grooveip. So their compression, streaming, servers or whatever software works much better, I don't even use talk at one anymore, you get 3000 free minutes a month with Vonage and unlimited video, hope it works for a few more years. I got my whole family on Vonage and now we video chat instead of voice only calls.,
[Nexus 7 General] Ansextra:
What you've just described sounds like a way to use Vonage with an N7 but not sure if that will work on a cell phone. Also, I don't believe Vonage will allow incoming calls on a cell phone. If you forward your GV calls to your cell phone then your cell phone will pick up the call, not Vonage. With apps like Groove IP or Spare Phone (which use Google servers by the way not their own servers) you can receive both incoming and make outgoing calls without using mobile minutes. I have Vonage as well but never use it on my S3.
[Nexus 7 General] mrazndead:
That's a true that you can't receive incoming calls from non Vonage users. With that in mind, I have ever voice app, which is better than talkatone and groove IP, and ever voice can pick up phone calls, bottom line is I can call with Vonage which sounds excellent, and receive calls with evervoice which sounds great too, same number.

Fawk groove IP and talkatone,

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vicono.evervoice&hl=en
[Nexus 7 General] Ansextra:
Our usage is obviously different. I use my Google Voice number as the number I give out for my work mobile number. I use Spare Phone (comparable to Groove IP but $2 cheaper) to receive calls as well as make calls from that number and keep my personal mobile number private. As an aside, I also have an Obi100 and can make and receive calls on my GV number using a regular handset. I telework so that's a real advantage to me. As I said previously, Spare Phone on my S3 allows me to make and receive calls without using mobile minutes. With an unlimited data plan that's perfect for me.
[Nexus 7 General] mrazndead:
Yeah. If its just for family and friends use, Vonage is the way to go. If for business and real world commercial use, I suggest people stop being cheap and get a regular non VoIP phone plan. Ive worked with vendors that used VoIP and when conversations start to become jarrbled, I just hang up and look for the next vendor.

Not messing with any governor, just the profiles.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stalked_r/t:
I don't have any music on my phone. I just use Pandora for everything, though i should probably put something on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ssnapier:
What at are you using to set all this? Have you noticed any improvement in battery life of issues with apps running/ starting/ crashing??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stalked_r/t:
I just set this up this morning and my phone has been sitting in my dock at work, so i can't say for sure about battery life. As for apps. I've not noticed a single problem. Again, I rooted my phone last night, so I don't have a ton of apps on my phone. Currently I have

Waze

Pandora

One More Clock

SetCPU

Betterbatterystats

MetroStation Icon Pack

Apex Launcher

NFC Task Launcher

Mynetdiary

Rom Manager Pro

Zedge.

Most of those are supporting apps. so it's hard to say if anything is flaking out yet. I'll slowly add more apps. I'm going to start a thread about known battery drain apps so we can start identifying those.

This is the same as sextape's ROM but it is rooted with busybox added, deodexed and zipaligned. ROM was deodexed with dsixda's Android Kitchen. This is designed for the Boost Mobile version of our phone and is reported to work, HOWEVER:

MMS will not work without correcting the APN

There is no roaming on this ROM and there is no fix at this time

Since the device model is different (SPH-D710BST), some apps - such as Mobile Odin - will not work properly without editing the build.prop

Question: If I'm currently a Sprint customer looking to move over to Boost in the near future, can I just flash this and activate the phone on Boost as easy as that one they add the E4GT to their lineup? Or would I still need to mimic a Boost doner phone IMEI and such first?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] datajosh:
Flash in recovery basically. I'd probably make a backup too just to be safe. You'll also need to change the APN to make MMS work, I believe there are instructions in the other FG20 threads.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] todd3835:
My g/f has a Vivid, and her complaint is absolutely HORRIBLE battery life. She's coming from a blackberry, so I know the screen size is making a HUGE impact. Upon looking at her battery usage, there's nothing keeping the phone awake (wakelock), so it's not a rogue app. The issue appears to be the screen usage. I know she gets a ton of texts, and have noticed that her phone wakes up and shows the texts on her lock screen. I think that if we didn't have it turn on the screen, that might help. Does anyone know a way to stop the screen from turning on for a text? Thanks.

A month ago i purchased a GoPro HD hero 2. These mounts are amazing in the fact that they go virtually anywhere.

There is a bag of extra swivels and 3M sticky mounts that you can get anywhere GoPro is sold.

http://gopro.com/camera-mounts/grab-bag-of-mounts/

The plan is to use a sticky mount on the back of the TF101 and make it a semi permanent fixture to my truck. I don't mind having a protrusion in the middle of the back of the tablet. It's only 1.5" square. Do you?

I wont be using the suction cup as it takes up too much window.

http://imgur.com/a/w90Yp Pics of Project

I have a small vibration on the lower mount that is because of the spot I picked. Not due to the mounts for the GoPro.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] noobrooter99:
To charge the beast I am using the wall charger and supplied usb plugged into an inverter. It's a little noisy because of the fan but it charges well.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] muncheno:
Very neat and I like your idea.

Will the sticky mount at the back of the TF able to withstand all the vibration?
