[General Questions and Answers] acegolfer:
I understand bridging is how Google voice website works. Google will call you and then connect to the recipient. But I doubt that's how the android gv app works.

Even with GV app, the phone is initiating the call. All android gv app does is to spoof the caller id (CID) as gv number. So the recipient sees your GV number not the mobile number.

I'm still confused what you are trying to do. Because in the OP, you wrote

"I need to have RELIABLE VoIP over 4G/LTE"

"I can get a reliable SIP connection from my paid SIP provider, Anveo." These 2 are contradictory.

Are you trying to display your GV number as CID when making internet calls? If so, you have 3 options.

1. Ask whether Anveo (whoever your VSP) can spoof your CID. Some allow this.

2. Use pbxes and spoof CID as GV number.

3. Use pbxes with gtalk trunk.

Hope this helps.
[General Questions and Answers] bluespire:
I think you are correct in that my phone makes the call. However, when I look at my bill, I am calling a few specific numbers. Which means GV is still bridging the call. What the APP does is tell GV to expect my call, and then route me to my actual caller. The GV app then spoofs/alters my call log.

I meant this is my goal.

For 1) I'll have to check into this.

For 2) Am I using pbxes for only this purpose? Or am I routing my call via them? So far, I have ONLY been able to get reliable SIP via Anveo. I've tried a number of carriers.

For 3) I tried this. I used SIP Sorcery to bridge IPKall with GVoice. Strangely, the only time I got it to work was in India. Since I got back to the states it hasn't worked, and nothing I do seems to get it to work right. I consider myself very capable at troubleshooting these problems. Therefore, I consider it unreliable. Also, GVoice only allows 1 codec, which from my reading is NOT the best for 4G use.
[General Questions and Answers] acegolfer:
2. Pbxes is not a VoIP provider. It's a system to manage your VoIP accounts. You can link your reliable anveo within pbxes and have pbxes initiate the call with your gv number showing as cid. You don't need to route the incoming calls.

3. I have used sipsorcery in the past, which is known for its flaky behavior. I agree its completely unreliable. But pbxes with gtalk trunk has been rock solid for me.

If you go to nexus 4 forum, I posted a method to make free VoIP calls using ilbc codec, which is the best codec for mobile data connection. My call quality is often better than tmobile's gsm calls.
[General Questions and Answers] bluespire:
I thought PBXes has a 1000 minute limit or something like that. Would I have all the same features as Sip Sorcery?

Good to know I am not the only one.

Could you post the link, please?

[General Questions and Answers] bluespire:
Now, when you say "reliable", what caveats are there to that? For instance, have you noticed problems with the phone picking up the call? Ever bad audio, or one-way audio, etc. See here's the thing, I can cope with many problems, but I have to pass the WAD (wife acceptance factor). On top of that, I WANT it to be reliable enough to set up her phone with it. Since both will be on a well-covered AT&T LTE network with low population, the network should not be an issue. I get 4G at my house, but it's good signal. I get up the hill and I'm golden.

Does one ever really NEED to update your recovery? I currently have a very early version of koush's touch recovery (v5.0.1? or 5.1.0 something). and also, if i update my recovery, will it erase my entire sd? (like when initially flashing a custom recovery) Thank you
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
No it won't erase anything.

And it depends on which version you have. Some versions had bugs that got corrected, some have new features. It's not necessary most of the time unless you got a very old one with bugs, obviously.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozone89:
Although it's not "vital" to update the recovery, it's always worth doing so.

having it updated means new feats has been added or bugs have been ironed out.

I, for example, lost my IMEI due to something wrong happened while flashing, caused by either the .zip or the recovery, not sure which one though...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Likely the zip, not the recovery.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wudien:
What did losing your imei do? Where you blackballed from your network? Some of us would like not to have a dna-like identification number.

hi,im new and i barely found where to post.on that link:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1775257 i couldnt leave a replay or put question to that developer who made best ever rom for samsung galaxy ace.i wanted to put info on that link about buggs and how its working but i cant replay,so i hope people will see this and get this important info.Will be any update for S3 rom?So the most important thing on galaxy ace is internal memory and its very low,its 182mb i think,this is bad news.Also we know the ram is also low.So i want to say now and at the end put the main question to all developers who make roms for Samsung galaxy ace.So the developer who made that s3 rom(http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1775257) for galaxy ace has made a big step forward.When you install that rom you will see new thing and that thing is crazy awesome.You will see that,your ACE has now 500 mb INTERNAL MEMORY.At first i was thinking,its mybe just visual.ofc i start to test imediatly,if thats true.YES ITS TRUE,i couldnt believe this thing actualy works more than perfect.So at the moment im still using this rom and only this rom cause its faster and i have way more space to install what i need.this is the big step forward and BIG RESPECT TO DEVELOPER,YOU ARE GOD.also the version of Android is 4.0.1 also awesome.i tryed sooo manny roms and just few of them look nice the rest are just repeating with stock things and icons and visual things.i like the entire phone customized and looking good.anyway,i found few buggs.camera works fine but sometimes cant open camera if you in portrait mode,if you switch to landscape,works like a charm.wifi at begining was closing and opening,he couldnt stay on for like 5 min,now after 1 month wifi works non stop with any problems.when im using skype,i cant use headphones,without headphones work.im using lots of other programs and games and didnt found any problems.so manny roms i tryed and i had lag,this rom has no lag finally.So my question is:is it possible for developers to focus on internal memory when they start to make new rom?is possible to make a rom with 500mb or more internal memory and android version from 4...and not like 2.3.7 and so on?is it possible to make camera working perfectly and to tweak mega pixels even higher? i know all developers work really hard,but i just ask if that is possible,mybe im totaly wrong and asking stupid things.i really wish stable rom for ACE with working camera and lots of options+more internal memory and ofc android version 4...with good tweaking for themes and effects,icons,dialer,msg and a radio with visualizations.so is that possible to make some ULTRA ACE ROM who will go above all roms?there is to manny roms already,some should be deleted from this forum.i tryed almost all roms and just 5 roms i found who are looking good and have good performance but this S3 rom is still the best rom.thank you and soory if i ask stupid questions i wish you all good luck and im giving you all big respect for amazing work you are doing.i can admit,without awesome developers my Samsung Galaxy ACE would still look so boring and useless.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjnouri:
Hello XDA! I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S II and rooted it yesterday. Root brought it back to Gingerbread and I went to install ICS on it today following these directions.

http://www.theandroidsoul.com/ics-a...amsung-galaxy-s2-international-version-i9100/

Here's where I become stupid. These directions are for the international version and I have the Sprint version (with the four capacitive buttons on the bottom.) Now, no matter how I boot, I get "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."

A normal boot up reaches that screen (just power button), vol up + power reaches that screen, vol down + power reaches that screen. I don't see the "Galaxy S II" splash screen before that.

Help me XDA! You're my only hope!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
This "Galaxy S2 i9100" is NOT the Epic 4G Touch (Sprint Galaxy SII).

Are you sure you're in the right forum?

If you do have the E4GT and used this method you're done. End of story. There are some possible ways of getting this thing back but it'd be a waste of time for you in my opinion.

Take it back to Sprint and tell them you can't read, didn't understand, can't follow directions or whatever and try and get a replacement. Tell them you received and update and the phone died or something.

And if you are on the E4GT and get a new one then please take some time to read the stickies and how tos here. ALL of them ALL the way through.

Good luck.

My wife and I both have month old gs3's. Both are stock, have brightness set to auto, and power saving mode on. However, hers is much brighter than mine.

She has a white phone and I have a blue one. Am I missing another setting that could be different on our phones?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ryan0260:
Have you tried manually going through each of the brightness settings to see if they are different when not set on auto?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] slicetwo:
Yup. They're the same. It's only with auto.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zexco:
In my experience auto brightness has never really worked properly for me on any Android I've had.. I personally always have my screen as low as possible, it's pretty bright even like that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ryan0260:
I have heard that its not uncommon for inconsistencies in screen brightness on some phones. May be a quality control issue
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dntesinfrno:
If the brightness of the phones are working manually then i would just chalk it up to minor inconsistencies in the photo cell's on each device, which is to be expected.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
Check if "auto adjust screen tone" is checked in Settings -> Display.

EDIT: If it's only with auto, maybe the brightness sensor is a little wack. You could try the Lux brightness app in the play store, as you can manually set the outdoor brightness/screen brightness ratios.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ItsLunchBOX:
Sorry for bumping this but I have the exact same issue. Mine is blue, my wife's is white. Her phone is way brighter set to auto than mine. It's the same if auto is turned off, her phone is way brighter.

:confused:

Google searches don't reveal any suggestions...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ItsLunchBOX:
So this is definitely not a blue vs. white phone issue. In my office, four other people have Galaxy S3s. Three are blue like mine and one is white. I compared all of their phones to mine and mine is way dimmer and a slightly different color temperature than theirs are. I did a factory reset on my phone and it made no difference. The phone is only 12 days old so I am going to take it back up to Best Buy today and see if they can swap it out.

**Update**

Best Buy swapped the phone for me and the issue is resolved for me. In fact, the new phone is a little brighter than some of the phones I had compared to before.

[EVO 4G General] frozenskydiver:
use it as mp3 player?
[EVO 4G General] Ebonyks:
This is incorrect on multiple levels.

Firstly, straight talk is a GSM carrier, which provides MVNO service for At&t, as well as t-mobile. The evo is a CDMA phone, which is compatible with that network.

The service that you're thinking of would be page plus, which provides verizon service in a mvno environment. The problem is that to use page plus, one must have a valid verizon ESN, which the evo does not have.

The evo must be used on a sprint mnvo, such as ting, or cricket. Virgin mobile will *not* work with the evo, as they require specific ESN numbers outside of the sprint general database.
[EVO 4G General] Klown80:
It is possible to put an evo on page plus, straight talk, boost, and a few others. Straight Talk has gsm phones as well as cdma phones last time I checked. I haven't personally flashed an EVO to page plus but I've seen them. I have an EVO currently on boost, almost anything is possible if you put your mind to it! I :)

I think Page Plus is probably the best route. I had a Droid X on it. I have flashed an Evo Shift before to page plus. I don't think 3G worked but i use WIFI mostly anyways.
