UPDATED 8/15 !!!

Original Post:

---------------------------

My own research/efforts:

I have added /etc/permissions/android.software.sip.voip.xml from a sprint Galaxy S III (its the same on all versions, its only like 4 lines) and set permissions to rw-r--r--

I have replaced my deodexed SecPhone.apk and SecContacts.apk with deodexed Sprint ones. These run fantastically (no FCs anywhere). I've also double checked the boolean values in framework-res.apk which allow SIP (as previously stated)

PROGRESS

By installing the xml SIP permissions file and then editing build.prob to imitate the sprint model:

ro.product.model=LPH-L710
ro.product.name=d2spr
ro.product.device=d2spr

or the Galaxy Nexus:

ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro

it opens up the "internet call options" submenu within the dialer options. You now have sip calling... Over wifi only though, as this wipes out your data connection.

In order to keep data working, you must set set the model, name, and device to be something from verizon, which in turn disables SIP calling. It is a vicious cycle.

Therefore, in order to use SIP calling on the Verizon Galaxy S III we must either use an AOSP ROM or find where this check is occuring in smali and remove it or make it constantly return true. However, I have no clue where it could be...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
just looking at it rather quickly, the way sip stack works in ICS is different than gingerbread. The guide you have is for gingerbread. You will need to find a guide that supports ICS. I would help you with this, but I already have to many projects on my table.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] preusstang:
That's the thing. There are none. The menu shows up fine on the i9300. I have a copy of their SecPhone.apk that I'm looking at now.

I'm having some trouble with apktool and apk manager tho, whenever I extract, I'm not seeing the "res/values/" folder or the smali folder.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nosympathy:
What version of apktools are you using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
Can someone tell me what sip is?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AlexDeGruven:
SIP = Session Initiation Protocol.

The short of it - VoIP (GTalk/Voice, Vonage, etc).

Stock Android supports it natively since 2.3.x.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Josolanes:
I'm not sure if this would help but I found that there's an option in AnyCut:

Activity

Sip settings

I'd create a shortcut on the home screen to this and try setting up your sip account credentials

My phone gives me the option, I just have no sip account to my knowledge

Afterwards, I've read you should go to the Dialer settings to enable ask each call.

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] preusstang:
the sip settings dialog that shows when you use the anycut widget is a big part of the sip calling. it allows you to set up accounts and register them, it then says its receiving calls but it doesn't.. Here's what the menu(s) look like:

View attachment 1249351

View attachment 1249352

However, the actual call settings menu still lacks the buttons required to set up/allow dialing out with SIP.

View attachment 1249348

because that internet calling section is missing, this dialog is never presented:

View attachment 1249349

I have tried decompiling the SecPhone.apk from nosympathys stock OTA VRALG (deodexed) rom and get errors:

C:\apktool>apktool d SecPhone.apk

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joebob296:
Any further progress on this. I am really interested to try this out. However, my knowledge of modding things is somewhat limited.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] preusstang:
Unfortunately, no. It seems the community here [is used to getting bent over backwards by verizon and/or doesn't know about the awesome benefits of SIP(!) and] is not interested in making/receiving FREE calls nationwide with their Google voice # or another outward trunk to the PSTN (public switched telephone network)

Instead of actually modifying our touchwiz dialer (or installing other carriers' GS III touchwiz dialer) I think we have a better chance of some dev around here building an ASOP dialer from source. But I think that also necessitates an ASOP build of the contacts app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joebob296:
Could we use the dialer from cm9/10 giant that aosp? I don't know if we could use that apk or have to modify it to use on a stock touchwiz ROM.

Edit: Or maybe the sprint app if they have that feature still open to them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] preusstang:
Good thinking. I'm not sure why I didn't see that.. I'll extract them from one of the CM builds tonight. I'm still unsure though of exactly what apks need copied out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] preusstang:
update:

I made a zip which removed SecPhone, SecTelephonyProvider, SecContacts, and SecContactsProvider and installed:

Phone.apk

TelephonyProvider.apk

Contacts.apk

ContactsProvider.apk

all from invisiblek's cm9 build. this caused mad FC's with the gallery, messaging, sync service, and google.process.gapps.

fail :( somewhat of a learning experience though.

I'm now gonna try installing the "Sec" apks from a sprint ROM. *crosses fingers*

if you have google voice here is an awesome app for talking for free. its well setup.. its called groove ip and you can get it here..

i have been using it for a long time now, never fails
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] preusstang:
It is a good app and works very well. its just disappointing that you need to download a 3rd party app for something that the android OS already provides for. And verizon is the only carrier to do this. isn't surprising tho..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mrbracht:
Verizon is pretty much a joke. I still can't believe they get away with all the **** they do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joebob296:
Yea I'm learning to. I read today that the dialer app relies on more then just the app itself if I recall correctly we have to change some framework files. So we would have to modify more then just the app. But I think that an app with that already allows sip calling would be a good place to start. I think that we would have a better chance using sprints stock dialer if they have it enabled, because that should be based on touchwiz.

I've been debating whether or not to try it. Right now I use talkatone which was free for 3g/4g calling but I've had issues with it recently.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] preusstang:
Try it. Sipdroid works great as well. Plus its free and sets you up with a new pbxes.org account and connects it to your gtalk.

Update: I replaced SecPhone.apk with a stock deodexed sprint version. (Im on nosympathy's stock deodexed) I didn't replace SecTelephonyProvider.apk because it was the same size. Its had no effect tho. It runs fine but the menu isn't there :(

I think it might be checking build.prop for the device model.. I wouldn't know what to change in framework, smali/android assembly is Greek to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] joebob296:
Well the build prop can be edited easily enough. Just make a nandroid before hand. I'm installing linux tomorrow and will start by getting adB and whatnot installed. I am in uncharted territory already but Im learning

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] preusstang:
Anyone using kexec will need to remove the kexec scripts' assert statements for the current build and device model. I know at least imoseyons lean kernel is checking this. It also may mess up Google wallet(?)

Edit: I will try this tomorrow tho. For sure

Edit 2: I've modified the build.prop and it works (somewhat)! it causes the "Internet Call Settings" submenu to be visible within the regular call settings. However, this breaks your data. See the updated OP.

SIP fixed (on my ThL W8 - JB 4.1.2)

Hi,

I was 'pulling hair out' trying to fix this to enable the native sip client that was somehow hidden.

I looked at decompiled framework-res.apk and everything was there for sip.

Then I looked at the sip files in etc/permissions (android.software.sip.voip.xml and android.software.sip.xml) at first glance these both looked OK, but then I noticed before the line <permissions> in both files was an open comment line <!----- and after the block and close comment -----> so the whole block was effectively commented out !! Very cute.

So I removed the comment lines in both files, then fixed the permissions (so that they are the same as all files in the permissions folder rw-r--r--), shut down then restart and 'BINGO' I now have internet calls working !!

How about that !:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leinobOy:
The question is simple. It is already written above but I cam say it again. So the question is can you flash a siyah kernel(or any other custom kernel) with stock e3 recovery? I'm only asking it because we are on the road and there is no way I could go to a computer. Thanks in advance and sorry my bad english,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grayfox77:
Definitively not. But, if you are on the road the solution is very simple:

Buy odin mobile pro, download Siyah Odin version and flash with it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil3759:
There is easier

Download cwm image from clockworkmod site (or link in my signature / method 1) and put it in your external sd card. Apply update from recovery and you get a temporary cwm to flash all that you need
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholas1520:
When you enter the stock recovery, apply this update from the sdcard.

http://download2.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-4.0.1.5-galaxys2.zip

It won't permanently replace the stock recovery but temporarily, so you can replace the kernel with Siyah through CWM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leinobOy:
Thank you! I downloaded mobile odin and flashed with it. Thank tou!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferris2375:
What's up with that? Even with headphones plugged in the notification sounds go through the external speaker?

Silliness.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferris2375:
Buuuuuuump no one?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boohoo2u:
I would like to know the answer to this as well, my previous HTC when headphones are plugged in all sounds including notifications went through them, yet the S3 sends notifications to the external speaker, surely this is a bug?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferris2375:
It's absurd and not the only Samsung phone that does it. The thing that strikes me as odd is there aren't many people that seem to care about it. Google searches hardly brings up **** and this thread has gotten like 60 views but 1 response...which is you with the same question.

My Galaxy Nexus didn't have this problem. Annoying as fuc-
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SexyIceCream:
i'm guessing most people put their phones to silent while listening to music. that's what i do.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boohoo2u:
That's ok, but when your phone is in your pocket how do you know if you have a text/email unless you put it on vibrate?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Itadakiimasu:
On the top screen of your phone you will see a small i which stands for notification, i dont know whats it called but the settings menu on top of your phone drag it down and click notifications then the letter i will disappear now all notifications will alert you normally via sound like call and texts.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SexyIceCream:
oops i meant i put it to vibrate. however if u do this there will be a slight pause in the music when a notification comes in(i think it only applies to certain functions like sms. whatsapp nofs dont pause my music)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScrapMaker:
I can't believe no one cares about this... I still want to hear my notifications over my headphones... Work email, personal email, specific ringtones for individual calls and texts... the list goes on. I've owned Mostly HTC, but even my Palm Pre and older Sanyo phones were smart enough to mute the external speaker when connecting headphones.

Bizarre.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukiddinmeright:
I don't know if this has been explained prior to my response. Notifications work fine over blue tooth.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NatTheCat:
+1
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScrapMaker:
The issue was never Bluetooth. The problem is, you can have you headphones plugged in while sitting in the library, and if you get a notification, it will blast the entire room. Similarly, if you are in your car, the notifications don't make it to your aux port, and also, if you use the aux port, Bluetooth will not play the audio simultaneously. That's crap. On CM-based ROMs this works just fine. Definitely not a hardware issue. Sure sucks for people who use hands free kits in their cars :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dongonzalo:
Same issue here with the external speaker not being muted when earphones plugged in, and unlike previous comments, issue persists when using bluetooth. Currently using Omega v32.1.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScrapMaker:
This problem affects my Galaxy Note 2 as well. Wow. How does no one else care about this? I don't understand why people would put their phone on silent just because they are listening to music. CM10 sort of fixed this issue on my GS3, but I can't use that on the gn2 because of all the custom stylus integration.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruskin0611:
It's definitely an android thing and I can't believe that in almost 2 years since it's been logged, no traction appears to have been made.

Did a quick search through the developer forums to see if anyone has made a mod, but couldn't find anything. Does anyone know, if one the many talented developers on XDA, have done anything here?

EDIT: Turns out there is an app already out there to solve this, but interesting that it's not standard in the OS.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScrapMaker:
SoundAbout barely works, FYI. I have had major issues after installing this. Sound cutting in and out just using the earpiece.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruskin0611:
Yikes.. Might not use it then. Thanks for the feedback (will do a bit more searching to see if there are other apps that could help).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zharif91:
hmm.. i just realize after reading this thread.. any fix for this issue?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruskin0611:
You could try SoundAbout, but as ScrapMaker states, it may cause issues with the sound cutting in/out using just the earpiece.

I wasn't going to try using it, but have over the last few days and it seems to work ok for me. Give it a go and see if it works (as I haven't been able to find anything else on the play store yet)...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrWall:
I just got the galaxy note 2 yestersay and noticed the headphine issue today while working on the motorcycle. With the headohines on I can't hear the phone ring or notificationsn. what I hear instead is the music I'm listening to go mute the length of the ringing while anyone around me hears my ringing which comes off a little rude on my part and a bit annoying that it doesn't just ring through the headset.

I'm going over the settings and searching the Web like crazy but not finding an actual solution just work arounds about muting the ringer and/our putting it on vibe, neither of which is what I'm wanting or works for me.

SoundAbout on Note 2

I have just tried SoundAbout on my Note 2 and it seems to be working so far.

Coming from a Galaxy Nexus where I did not have this problem, I am very annoyed. Apparently, I have been blasting everyone in the office for days with my txt notifications.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrWall:
you're right. I've been using soundabout and it seems like a good fix (read: not workaround)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScrapMaker:
SoundAbout caused major problems on several of the ROMs I've run recently. Maybe it's an LK8 thing? The biggest problem I had is even when I answered the phone in my hand, no where near my car, sound would bounce back and forth between earpiece and speakerphone. Strange bug...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazinazn:
I am absolutely dumbfounded with this issue. I've literally spent the last 2 hours researching a "fix" for this issue. What I've come up with? Absolutely nothing. I've found 1 tasker script workaround that doesn't work. I spent 30 minutes duplicating the profile only to not have it work.

I posted a response on an open defect on google groups that has been open for over 2 years and still nothing. I'm absolutely baffled that google hasn't fixed the issue.

I work in an open environment and would like for notifications/rings to come through my headphones rather than from my external speaker. Is that so much to ask!?!?!?!?!??!

Oh, and I tried SoundAbout and it just causes my music to skip so I unstalled it. I'm on 4.1.2 Stock Rooted Rom on a Note 2.

Here is the google groups thread I was referring to above: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16667
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarod_:
So, two years later the problem is still not resolved :( This bug applies to all Android devices.... I guess the only option is to use SoundAbout then...

Hello all. Thanks in advance for your help. My HD2 is running stock Windows Mobile Professional 6.5, and I have been using Google Maps 4.1.0 since 12/26/2010, with no problems.

Yesterday, I opened the Google Maps application on my HD2. The map itself came up as normal, but the accompanying text (for example, it would normally be showing "Loading....") shows only as gibberish -- several rectangular boxes and other characters that appear to be Unicode type characters. If I touch "Menu" on the screen, and then press "Get Directons", the normal "Start Point" and "End Point" text shows, but the rest of the search dialog boxes are again gibberish characters, as are the option tabs that are normally part of the search function.

Any ideas as to what the problem(s) might be? I thought I would seek help before my next step, which would be to uninstall and reinstall the application. Thanks!

You are heading for trouble there. That cable is not a ethernet cable, it is to plug into a battery backup for monitoring. At best you would be risking damage to your tablet if you trying to use it like you described. And yes, it was a poor choice by the battery backup manufacturers to use a cat 5 connector on one end of their cables.
