Dude, this is AWESOME!!!!! :highfive:

I finally got through all my own silly little mistakes by following your guide - for some reason, I couldn't get codesplice's instructions to work from the Galaxy Nexus thread, but that could have just been my own sleep-deprived brain mucking it all up.

The biggest issue I had with his guide was that Sipdroid wouldn't connect to pbxes over 4G. csipsimple does, and works beautifully - at least for my first, limited testing sitting here in my easy chair. The delay is somewhere between .5 to .75 seconds, enough that I could hear myself talking with a phone in both ear. Short one-syllable words produced an echo on the initiating set which was then sent back to the receiver - in other words, "Hey" was heard 4 times after I said it.

This comes at a timely point in my life - I've got 7 minutes left on my plan before next Thursday, but still over 4GB of data remaining, and I just received news last night that my nephew was tragically killed in a car accident last night so I need as much time on the phone as I can scrounge up. This is going to fill that gap, and if it survives this weekend's test, I'm going to see about porting my 10 year old T-Mobile number to GVoice.
[Nexus 4 General] figuremania:
Sorry for your lose. I transfered my 8-10 years old mobile number to GV about an year ago and haven't looked back. It at least eliminates porting hassle once and for all for whenever I feel like to change service provider. Only thing that concerns me is that GV can't stay free forever... I'm only hoping fee won't be too high.
[Nexus 4 General] Dan in SA:
Ok I think I may have missed this somewhere earlier in the thread, but how do we get the originating caller ID to pass through GV> callcentric> pbxes> csip? Or is that one of the downsides to this?
[Nexus 4 General] Telemachus13:
Is caller ID not working for you? It should be passed through automatically each time the call is forwarded.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 4 General] Dan in SA:
No, when a call is forwarded from GV through the callcentric/pbxes path, my GV number is what shows up on CID, not the originating caller.
[Nexus 4 General] JoeBruin32:
So I followed all the directions to the best of my understanding, but I now have 2 questions.

1. My phone is currently running both csipsimple and pbxes apps. Is this right, or should it only be running csipsimple?

2. In the instructions about codecs for csipsimple, it said to use PCMU for fast wifi and ILBC for 3g. In the app, I see tabs for "FAST" and "SLOW" options. Is this referring to wifi and 3g? I actually use Sprint WiMax "4g". Should I set both FAST and SLOW to ILBC because I'm worried it will use PCMU for WiMax and that it won't work very well.

Thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] Testicopolicious:
What are the best settings for talkatone? No echo.
[Nexus 4 General] post-mortem:
My understanding, though I may be wrong, is that Fast simply means wifi, and Slow means mobile data.
[Nexus 4 General] Telemachus13:
There is an option in CSipSimple to change what is considered "fast" or "slow." It should be right below the option to choose which codecs to use.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Nexus 4 General] JoeBruin32:
Thanks for the responses. I'm still curious if csipsimple AND sipdroid need to be running, or just csipsimple? I used to only run sipdroid, and now that I have both running, the battery drain has been massive.
[Nexus 4 General] ttabbal:
You only need one.
[Nexus 4 General] JoeBruin32:
Okay I disabled sipdroid but my battery drain is still much bigger than normal. I guess csipsimple drains more than sipdroid. Any suggestions on how to fix that?
[Nexus 4 General] Dan in SA:
Just to answer my own question, this was a setting in GV that I missed. In the Call Settings screen, the second option is "Caller ID (incoming)", with the options of "Display caller's number" or "Display my Google Voice number". When I was first setting up GV, I had set this to display my own GV number for troubleshooting purposes, and never went back to change it. I finally figured out that I goofed :o

number been blocked due to abuse

the callcentric number I got wouldn't go into google voice as a forwarding phone - it says it has been blocked due to abuse.I asked them to assign me a different number that will work and they assigned me a new one right away.

I've been using iLBC on my phone via wifi and it seems to work ok, though when I use it on x-lite on my desktop it doesn't really work so well :-/

If there are issues even when using iLBC are there any other factors at play that could be adjusted?

I can't wait until OPUS is supported!
[Nexus 4 General] MrSmileyJr:
You need to go to the settings at google.com/voice to change that setting.

sipdroid re-registering between towers.

I have the following setup SGS3, Tmo $30 plan, sipdroid w/ GSM codec, pbxes account, Google voice tmo stock rooted. It is working bretty good now after about a month of tweaking. I originally setup with the google voice app installed to make setup easy. then I found that it was using minutes to I uninstalled it. calls still come in and go out ok. Call quality is ok after some other tweaks in sysctl.conf and build.prop. My first issue was that calls would simply drop while switching towers (networks), now the app will switch networks but I get disconnected ring back after it registers. I do not loose the call, the far end just hears silence while switching and they find it very annoying. any way to fix this? setup works great if I am sitting still. I need this to work seamlessly while moving.

thanks for any help from anybody.

jhral

Oh I google the crap out of this and canot nail down the issue. Also if you would like I can pot configs as needed.
[Nexus 4 General] sixthspeed:
I'm having a similar issue, except I don't get the full "Your call cannot be completed as dialed, please try your call again later.", I only catch the last few seconds of the message ("call again later.") and it hangs up. I have the green dot and my account has been set up correctly with gvoice. the password I used to create my pbxes is the same as the password for my google voice account. I wasn't really able to find a solution. can anyone help?
[Nexus 4 General] wintrxtrem:
Try making your pbxes pw different from your google pw. I swear that's what ended up getting my friend's finally working when I set it up for him.
[Nexus 4 General] sixthspeed:
Doesn't make any sense to me, but I tried it anyway. I wouldn't connect (red dot in notification) when I have a password different from google voice. Anyone else have any suggestions?
[Nexus 4 General] wintrxtrem:
It didn't make sense to me either, but PBXes is weird and finicky. When it doubt click the "Submit & Start" button in Personal Settings.
[Nexus 4 General] sixthspeed:
I tried that, problem is still there :(
[Nexus 4 General] sixthspeed:
So I came across this thread http://androidforums.com/2519967-post219.html

I pretty much followed that and got it working. Here's what I did specifically:

1) I didn't have 2-step enabled through google so I did that, and generated a new app specific password named Sipdroid

2) from pbxes.org, I changed my Setup -> Trunk -> GTALK/username@gmail.com -> to the app specific password that was generated

3) I reentered my google voice password into Setup -> Extensions -. Sipdroid <200> -> Device Options -> Password, saved, and applied.

4) I reentered my google voice password into the password field in the sipdroid app in my phone

Outgoing and incoming calls now work fine
[Nexus 4 General] nchadwick:
I'm having trouble recently with outgoing calls as well. I checked my PBXes log, last outgoing call I made was on the 14th. Tried making one today and I get the "...call could not be completed, please try again".

Changed my google password to something simple. Tried enabled 2-step and creating an application-specific password. Tried creating a new PBXes account. Nothing worked. I can reliable dial *43 for PBXes' echo test. But any call that requires a handoff between PBXes and gtalk fails.

Is there any logging on the google side that will let me know why its failing? Note, between the 14th and today, I did nothing to my phone. My wife's is setup the same exact way and hers doesn't work either. I haven't messed around with hers yet in an attempt to fix it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
[Nexus 4 General] CBMC:
Having the same problem. Was working fine 2 days ago. Just stopped working. Spent hours trying to figure it out and couldn't. Created new account, etc. Any ideas?
[Nexus 4 General] jck_w:
Same here. I've been using this for more than 9mo without a hitch. Problem started yesterday, during the day.

Possible its a pbxes system problem? Incoming, able to receive calls. Outgoing, unable to complete the call.
[Nexus 4 General] nchadwick:
No ideas, but I will throw out some of my debug attempts. I thought maybe it was my messing around with my router's QoS settings a few days ago. Tried to make a call via my 3G data connection, same deal, so it's not that.

I also noticed that in Hangouts, my status and my wife's status are no longer permanently 'green'. That changed at some point overnight. Or, at least I noticed they were both green last night and not green this morning. It's PBXes' interaction with the gtalk trunk that usually makes your permanently green on Hangouts. Note, I did not mess with my wife's setup so it wasn't my tinkering that caused this. Something is making me think that PBXes screwed something up on their end.
[Nexus 4 General] CBMC:
Curious to know if anybody still has this working?
[Nexus 4 General] wintrxtrem:
Same problem here, incoming works, but no outbound. Must be on the PBXes end. Maybe Google is making changes in their preparation to merge messaging services.
[Nexus 4 General] br0nx finest:
Wow this seems like a cool setup but now it's not working? That's great, I was just considering ditching my contract & near car note monthly bill.
[Nexus 4 General] matrixzone:
Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] jck_w:
I'm thinking the same as well. When you log into Google voice, that messaging alert comes up in preparation for Oct 1st. Wonder where in the line of connections things are broken.
[Nexus 4 General] nchadwick:
I'm going to guess this one is on Google's end now. I had a couple times last night where people trying to call my gvoice number would have it ring 6 times and then straight to voicemail. Gvoice didn't even forward it on to the Call Centric number. I have my Call Centric setup to forward onto PBXes.org, not the other method of having PBXes.org intercept calls to Call Centric. To me, that says the call should have at least left gvoice, gone to Call Centric, then to PBXes.org.

Still no idea how to fix this. Also annoying is that if you use the application-specific password, Google will acknowledge that PBXes.org's trunk used the password, but you still can't place outgoing calls.
[Nexus 4 General] Lockeskidney:
Yea im dead in the water as well since yesterday
[Nexus 4 General] pryan49@hotmail.com:

Good afternoon all

I have been using this setup for about a year with great results, especially with LTE going live in my address. But, for some reason today my outgoing calls stopped working. Just get sorry message. This is on Wi-Fi or mobile data. If I my cell to make the call it works and incoming calls work. Any ideas?
[Nexus 4 General] jck_w:
Gotta read the last page or two. We're having issues between Google voice and pbxes
[Nexus 4 General] CBMC:
Seems to be broken. Looks like it has something to do with Google. Maybe something to do with their voice-mail changes. Just speculating?
[Nexus 4 General] jck_w:
Gotta read the last page or two. We're having issues between Google voice and pbxes.
[Nexus 4 General] wintrxtrem:
At least incoming still works so for the time being we can use callback to limp through this and still make "outbound" calls.
[Nexus 4 General] Pkt_Lnt:
It is not completely Google Voice, because I use it to forward all calls to a voip.ms DID which then routes SIP calls if I am registered and forwards to cell phones if not registered. It still works fine incoming and outgoing. It works almost the same as pbxes, I use CSipSimple so I can use the G729 codec, supported by voip.ms on that end.
[Nexus 4 General] nchadwick:
Is there a guide for setting up voip.ms? Would be nice to have a backup method in place for emergencies.
[Nexus 4 General] Pkt_Lnt:
Search "voip.ms" in this thread from my signature. Sorry, I do not have time to find it now, off to work. There are a few of us in there who use it, and we can help in that thread if needed.

[GUIDE] Smartphone Service for $30+/mo w/free VoIP

http://goo.gl/k0PSo
[Nexus 4 General] nchadwick:
I was more hoping for verification as to whether you have to pay for voip.ms or not. Poking around their website makes think that you do(have to pay). Which is fine, you get what you pay for and look what's going on between PBXes and gvoice. And voip.ms is certainly cheap, I just have a problem with paying for a voip service on top of my $155/month plan. I'm really just using voip to patch a literal hole in VZW's coverage around my house.

I'd gladly do the tmo $30 plan and voip service if I had any indication the coverage would be comparable.
[Nexus 4 General] m4k3r:
I had a friend with T-Mobile come to the house and run some speed tests over 4G to see what I would be dealing with. None the less, I'm using SIMPLE Mobile (T-Mobile towers) ATM but will be switching to the $30/mo plan.
[Nexus 4 General] Lockeskidney:
Still not working. Is it dead?
[Nexus 4 General] Pkt_Lnt:
$155!!!! Holy bend me over and do me nasty, Batman!

Any prepaid will work if you forward calls from Google Voice, I have moved from T-Mobile to Straight Talk, since there is better service in my commute corridors, but still weak at home. I am in rural coastal California, so voip.ms gives me service at home where I would have to stand on the second floor deck in the fog / cold / rain to talk.

One advantage is you can get a DID direct from them for $1.00 / mo, so it is all handled them, and with their call forwarding options, it is all automatic. I use the premium at 1.25 cents per minute, but it is 100% reliable in over a year, and my $25.00 lasts over 9 months with the monthly DID, pretty cheap.

---------- Post added at 06:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:52 AM ----------

I see issues with PBXes in many VoIP forums and mailing lists.
[Nexus 4 General] nchadwick:
The $155 is for two smartphones.

Why even use gvoice if you get a DID from voip.ms and it handles contextual routing?

Which straight talk do you use? I just went poking around their website and notice they offer ATT, VZW, Sprint, and TMO. Swear it was only TMO at one point.
[Nexus 4 General] Pkt_Lnt:
GVoice lets me keep the same number regardless of the actual number in my cell phone, I have had it for 10 years, but four different carriers in that time. I am on the ATT Straight Talk. They did stop activating ATT and only had TMo, then brought ATT back. I did not know they added VZW and Sprint, that is new in the last month. I just bought a new SIM to take advantage of LTE when it gets here, hopefully in a few months, it is all around me in a 150 mile circle (except to the west which is ocean :D ).
[Nexus 4 General] Lockeskidney:
Mod says he fixed it anyone try? working on it now
[Nexus 4 General] pryan49@hotmail.com:
Still Not Working

Mod stated that 2 of their servers (both in Germany) were working. Switched to each of them, cleared the Google Security warning, and restarted my PBXES.ORG service to no avail.
[Nexus 4 General] pspTP:
outbound calling went dark for me since 2 days too. I tried the suggested fixes going to www3, etc. ( I dont have www1 in my listed options) but no luck there.

I finally reinstalled my old trusty Groove IP back again. Now at least I can make outbound calls!
[Nexus 4 General] CBMC:
I got one of my accounts working. First off, I created a second gv number through another Google account AFTER I started getting "The call cannot be completed as dialed". Created another callcentric number as well and just setup from scratch. Still nothing. Then today I read about changing the server. I changed it to a Europe www3 server. The options seem to change every time you log into pbxes.org. Sometimes the europe servers are www3 and sometimes www1. I don't know if it makes a difference. Once I did that my new gv number was making and receiving calls. Then I tried to get my first gv account working. I deleted my Google trunk from pbxes and opened a new pbxes account with sipdroid using my old gv account. Followed the guide and changed the server to www3/www1 (again they seem to be interchangable). I still am getting the "Your call cannot be completed as dialed". So for some reason one of my google accounts seems to be blocking pbxes and the other isn't. During the testing I got several warnings about unauthorized attempts to login from pbxes. I did click that it was me, but at one point google forced me to change my password. Even tried opening a 3rd pbxes account and still cannot get my first gv account working. My second gv account is still working fine though.

One note, when doing the testing, it is important to kill csipsimple everytime you add another pbxes account. For example, I created 2 pbxes accounts in csipsimple. Made a call. The call went out over my working (2nd gv line) Google voice number. I then deleted that account, made a call, and it still was going out over my working gv number. Once I killed csipsimple, reopened the app, I got the dreaded "your call cannot be completed as dialed". I then had to add the second pbxes account, kill the app again, and reopen the app. Otherwise I would keep getting the failure message.
[Nexus 4 General] lonequid:
How do you use callback? Thanks
[Nexus 4 General] ogrillion:
I was having the issue with outbound calling as well.

I found a solution on another forum forget where exactly. But I went into pbxes website under person data changed my server from www3 (miami) to www2.

This fixed it. And even though the server is like in India call quality seems to be the same.
[Nexus 4 General] CBMC:
This seems to be hit or miss. It worked on one of my accounts. I went from www7 to www3(Europe) . On my other account it didn't. I messed with it for about 3 hours, opened 3 different pbxes accounts. Nothing worked. Seems like Google is blocking pbxes to that account for some reason. I tried all the different servers (www1,www2,etc).
[Nexus 4 General] muyoso:
Switched to a WW3 server in Vienna and its working perfectly. WWW7, WWW4 and WWW2 servers would not work at all for me.
[Nexus 4 General] ogrillion:
Yup your right worked for a day and now its not working anymore.

In a pinch I switched to talkatone they have a new ui which it's nice but call quality was lousy (breaking up)

Groove IP let me make a call but still not the best. Bummer
[Nexus 4 General] CBMC:
My second account is still working. First is not.
[Nexus 4 General] wintrxtrem:
You can use the chrome extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-voice-by-google/kcnhkahnjcbndmmehfkdnkjomaanaooo

or the Android app: http://www.amazon.com/Xinlu-Google-...F8&qid=1380562010&sr=1-1&keywords=gv+callback

Cheers-
[Nexus 4 General] ogrillion:
Tried a call this afternoon and it went through.

So maybe intermittent problem, hopefully that means they are fixing it
[Nexus 4 General] Ipse_Tase:
Would be nice if they would have posted some news...not just one forum discussion that is inconclusive. Free is free, but I didn't get a warm-fuzzy about the way they aproached the problem.

Hopefully we'll get a working solution again...I'm in Canada, so for me callback and local Google #s is not an option- I have to go through a ton of hoops to get it working.
[Nexus 4 General] Ipse_Tase:
Seems to be working now...I'm registered with NY (www4).
[Nexus 4 General] pryan49@hotmail.com:
Thanks for the update. I too just made a successful call from www4.
[Nexus 4 General] pspTP:
Awesome. Switched to www4 and can call out too.
[Nexus 4 General] xylene:
Setting up the 2 step verification for the first time and usung the app specific password is what finally worked for me! I believe pbx is being blocked by Google with out it.. Thanks much for pointing this out!
[Nexus 4 General] bilago:
I followed this guide and its working... but if my phone is left alone for a few minutes, and then i try to make a call from another phone, my phone does not ring at all. I have to turn the screen on and let csipsimple re-register pbxes.org... I set the option to lock wifi in hi perf . I don't have this issue in Groove IP
[Nexus 4 General] nchadwick:
Anyone know if this:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...ng-down-all-3rd-party-voice-apps-in-may-2014/

Breaks this setup? Does PBXes.org interface with gvoice via XMPP or a hangouts sessions?
[Nexus 4 General] ziddey:
Yes, no one knows what the future setup will be, but assumedly, there will be a new way to emulate it. At the very least, we'll be able to continue to receive calls by using a free did (eg. callcentric). Depending on how gvoice is revamped, gvcallback may still be viable. Either way, it's all speculation at this time, and there's no way to tell ahead of time how the new implementation will work.
[Nexus 4 General] xylene:
I'm also curious as to what our outbound calling options will be after May 2014 with the changes to GVoice.. Does anyone have an idea what codec or bit rate Hangouts uses for VOIP-Audio (for now IOS only I guess) and how it might compare to iLBC?
[Nexus 4 General] acegolfer:
Even though I'm the OP of this thread, I hope 5/14/2014 comes fast because we will be able to use Hangouts app to make and receive GV calls without relying on 3rd party service.
[Nexus 4 General] wintrxtrem:
I set up a Polycom IP phone with the pbxes.org/callcentric method, and it's working well. Incoming calls should still work in May, correct? But it's probably going to break the GV trunk in PBXes.org for outgoing.
[Nexus 4 General] nchadwick:
That's assuming Google gets their **** together and allows you to see contacts in Hangouts that aren't part of your G+ account. Also, I'm hoping their default codec is better than the current one. Whenever I tried Grooveip, the calls were choppy on good wifi connection and would sometimes drop. I'm doubting they'll having a codec in place that performs well over 3G/4G, so how do you deal with gvoice calls over cellular?
[Nexus 4 General] Ipse_Tase:
I confirm that I never got a perfect call using GrooveIP with its only codec G711 - however, on my Nexus 4 I do occasionally have issues with iLBC.

I coincidentally have the same setup as acegolfer recommended (thank you for taking the time) and came across this thread while searching for "iLBC problems".

5 times out of 10 I would get popping sounds during test calls with iLBC, while if I change to G729 or SILK or even G711 it's crystal clear. Weird.
[Nexus 4 General] CBMC:
Annoying else having problems dialing calls using the art runtime?
[Nexus 4 General] AZImmortal:
I'm not on 4.4, but if you're having problems with ART, I think you need to let the app developer know.
[Nexus 4 General] Momotani-Hitoshi:
I hope Google doesn't wait unil May 2014 to give hangout the ability to do voip. They need a transition period to let people move on over and to work out the kinks
[Nexus 4 General] bananaboat23:
Will this guide still be usable once the Google Voice change occurs later next year? What is the best option to set up a reliable (I'm willing to pay a bit) VOIP service for the Nexus 4?
