Ok, I need a little help.

I'm using this

For outgoing calls, download "Google Voice Callback FREE" from the Android Market (no need to purchase Gizmo5 credit)

A) Sign in with your Google username/password.

B) Choose your callback number (Gizmo), and select "Ask every time" or "Always (when possible)" based on your preferences (I have it set to always).

And they keep asking for Gizmo5 credit when I try to place a call.

My set up is On Phone: Download CSipSimple and http://pbxes.org/ account.
[Nexus One General] wvcachi:
The GV Callback app isn't intercepting the outgoing call before your SIP account (gizmo) tries to take over. Are you using the stock dialer for outgoing calls, or the csipsimple dialer?

If you're using the csipsimple dialer, then I think you need to use the stock dialer instead. If you're using the stock dialer, then you probably have the Dialer Integration option checked under Settings>User Interface in csipsimple. Uncheck this setting and you should be good to go.

If neither of those is the case, then double-check that the GV Callback app has everything setup as prescribed.

P.S. - OP: it might be worth noting in the first post that you can also get a free sipgate account and skip the step of buying a gizmo account on ebay. They're taking registrations, and it works just the same.
[Nexus One General] Lamar720:
Thanks that worked I have to use the stock dialer and not the Csipsimple one.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Link? Can you elaborate? First time I hear of using free sipgate accounts.

I'll put this in the op as a quick edit.
[Nexus One General] Tostino:
I actually just tried a sipgate account with my phone and Google Voice. Worked well! I didn't even have to use PBXes to get it to use iLBC rather than PCMU (not too sure why).
[Nexus One General] r3gis.3r:
Hi guys,

(I'm the main contributor of CSipSimple)

Is there anyone wants to contribute to the wiki documentation of the CSipSimple project website?

I'm currently focused on improving the code of the app and have not a lot of time for documentation but any contribution would be really appreciated. (There is so much things to do on the code... I'm currently implementing SIP MESSAGES ;) )

There is many powerful features (such as rewriting/filtering rules) that users are not really aware.

As the project is opensource (GPLv3) any contribution, especially high quality documentation would be really welcome - there is a big lack of docs for now, but well doing this project only on my free time - .

P.M./mail me if interested ;)
[Nexus One General] smachine:
Can you explain the steps needed to get the Sipgate account to work with CSip app? I just got a new sipgate number. Thanks
[Nexus One General] wvcachi:
Thanks for humoring my request - though there are many ways to pay sipgate, it can be free for incoming just the same as gizmo5.

Register for a sipgate account here: https://secure.sipgate.com/register/code

You have to enter a mobile number, they'll send you a text message with an invite code, and then you can sign up. Once signed up, you'll get a sipgate number (CA area code). Take note of it for later. Login, go to Settings, click on your phone and hit SIP Credentials. This will give you your username, password, and the registry info.

Then hit Caller ID, and change the Caller ID to your Google Voice number (not necessary now, but if you ever want to use sipgate for outgoing, this will help).

Install/open the Android SIP app you're going to be using (sipdroid? csipsimple?...), and create a new account with the registry info you got earlier from sipgate (including server, username, and password).

Now go to the Google Voice website, enter the sipgate number as a forwarding number (I used it as mobile). Verify phone, and as long as you've registered correctly in your SIP app, it should ring your phone and you can put in the code. Make sure it's selected as your forwarding number from here on out.

Now just set up the GV Callback app as you would with Gizmo (only picking your sipgate number as callback # of course), and you'll be good to go for both incoming and outgoing - free! Just like with Gizmo, you have the option of paying a couple cents/min. for outgoing calls if you want to skip the callback part.
[Nexus One General] smachine:
Thanks for the info. It was easy to setup. How do you keep the csipsimple running without the normal tmobile network dialer from taking over? I have both google voice number set to ring both csipsimple and my normal cell number, and when I call the number the csipsimple gets overtaken by the stock tmobile number after 1 ring. Sipdroid constantly rings and isnt overtaken, and when you press the back button you can then take the call using tmobile network.
[Nexus One General] wvcachi:
Not sure about that one - I've never forwarded to both cell and SIP on the same phone. I'd say just pick one line to forward to . . . but someone else might have a genius solution that I don't.

P.S. - Anyone wanting really badly to get a sipsorcery account? 'cause I gots me an extra one that I might be willing to part with. PM's welcome . . .
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Edited OP: Added Sipgate link and CSipSimple setup info :cool:

Tostino: I haven't added the stuff from #109, because to be honest, I don't really understand it :D
[Nexus One General] smachine:
Reason I would want to forward both is so i can pick whether to take a network call or a data call depending on how good my data strength is. I dont want to just forward to the data because if im in a bad data area then i wouldnt even get the call. Also im having alot worse delay using csipsimple compared to sipdroid, are there any tweaked settings (I was on wifi and called a landline if that helps)? Battery drain is also worse than sipdroid for me. Really hope these issues can be fixed along with keeping the Csipsimple incoming call from being overtaken by the tmobile stock call.

**** I have 2 N1s, 1 is running sipdroid/gizmo and the other is running csipsimple/sipgate and I used both to make calls using the stock settings using 12mbps wifi network and calling my home landline. The lag difference between the 2 is huge. Today I have both phones on idle to check out the battery drain difference.
[Nexus One General] wvcachi:
The suspense is killing me...which one has more lag?
[Nexus One General] smachine:
The sipgate/csipsimple has more lag delay, but I think it has to do with the settings. The extra codec support and ease of setup were the only benefits i saw in the csipsimple setup.
[Nexus One General] teh_lorax:
"Also im having alot worse delay using csipsimple compared to sipdroid,"
[Nexus One General] disgustip8ted:
been doing this since i got my nexus, it works quite well, especially in my house where i get lower cell signal.

i usually use the mobile google voice website but im going to try that callback app mentioned now.
[Nexus One General] smachine:
none of the callback apps i have are completely reliable. Its hit or miss, and I have to restart the callback app and sipdroid to get it to work. Anyone have a solution? I have tried xinlu callback app and the google call free app.
[Nexus One General] disgustip8ted:
the only time i have issues with sipdroid are when ive changed wireless ap's a couple times.
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
The Google Voice Callback Free app mentioned at the start of this thread has proven to be 100% reliable for me.
[Nexus One General] [IO]ERROR:
Same issue. None of them work for me. After checking my call logs on my Gizmo5 account it seems like they never even try and dial the number.

I'm thinking about trying to download the old Google Voice app that had dial back built in to see if that will work. Hopefully the APIs are still supported and the app works.

EDIT:

Ok very odd. If I goto my Google Voice account and try to place a call with the call back number of my SIP nothing happens. But if I call my Google Voice number from a land line it goes to my SIP number. I think this might be an issue with Google.
[Nexus One General] disgustip8ted:
perhaps you might want to try removing and adding your gizmo number back into google voice, Ive done exactly as you have laid out above and not had a problem and it rings me on sipdroid on my gizmo account.

i am using the old 0.3.4 google voice apk so if you find that somewhere you should be able to use it still if you want, although i dont think that is the issue you are running in to
[Nexus One General] [IO]ERROR:
I removed my SIP number from my GV account and added it back and that seemed to work. Not sure what the issue was but it seems it was on Googles side.
[Nexus One General] smachine:
Tried doing this but same problem occurs. I have green light is on in sipdroid, but sometimes it just doesnt call back. Its fixed when i reboot the phone. Same thing happened with csipsimple.
[Nexus One General] klaberte:
How would you change this if you used sipgate instead of gizmo5?
[Nexus One General] wvcachi:
Go to sipgate site, get your username and password under My Phones section, login to your android sip app with those credentials and sipgate.com as server. Then go to Google Voice website, enter your sipgate # as a phone, hit verify and it should ring your phone to confirm the code. Keep it as a forwarding phone, set up the GV callback same as under the gizmo instructions. You should now be good to go!
[Nexus One General] im2good4u:
Can this be done on all networks/carriers or tmobile only? I'm from the philippines and wondering if this will work here.
[Nexus One General] smachine:
Anyone else getting connection errors right now? My sipdroid cant register, just red dot. If someone could PM me a sipgate invite it would be much appreciated, I have blocked texting.
[Nexus One General] smachine:
Looks like gingerbread has sip calling. Wonder if it will be as nice as sipdroid setup, and whether it can work over 3g. Hopefully there is a way to automatically show gingerbread sip outgoing calls as google voice number instead of the sip number.
[Nexus One General] wvcachi:
I'm gonna go on a limb and say that as soon as cyanogen incorporates gingerbread, I'll be done with sipdroid.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
What I'm wondering is if this means we don't need a Gizmo5 / SipGate account?

Or if they will give everyone Gizmo5 accounts etc.

I mean, will they give everyone Sip numbers somehow?

[Edit]: Interesting... The SIP feature in 2.3 does *NOT* include a Sip Account:

What the?

So how will someone use this feature without buying a Gizmo5 account on eBay? I'm sure Google's intention is not for people to hit up eBay / Sipgate...
[Nexus One General] wvcachi:
Perhaps it's paving the way for the eventual integration of gizmo into true Google Voice VoIP?? I'm guessing it'll be a while still if that is the case.

...or maybe they just saw that SIP apps were growing in popularity, and said "Hey, we could easily integrate that."
[Nexus One General] klaberte:
So there is no way to use sipgate with pbxes? I was responding to the claims above that gizmo+pbxes was faster than sipgate., specifically

"I have 2 N1s, 1 is running sipdroid/gizmo and the other is running csipsimple/sipgate and I used both to make calls using the stock settings using 12mbps wifi network and calling my home landline. The lag difference between the 2 is huge. Today I have both phones on idle to check out the battery drain difference."

Since it isn't completely clear which compenent does what, I'm not sure how to mix and match. Is Sipgate creating the delay? Can that be improved upon by using pbxes?
[Nexus One General] wvcachi:
I can't answer that, I don't mess with pbxes - they seem very shady to me, with people's chat contacts getting spammed and free accounts getting deleted...sipsorcery all the way for me.
[Nexus One General] smachine:
Has anyone found video demonstrations of the voip calling in gingerbread? My google callback/ sipdroid is completely unreliable now. I have to reboot if i can to use google callback, or else i just get the waiting screen when trying to make a call.
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
I noticed that the quote by klaberte didn't make any mention of using a pbx...

At any rate, I use pbxes.org (with my gizmo5 account and cSipSimple software phone) because pbxes.org offers an additional selection of codecs versus what I can get from gizmo5 alone.
[Nexus One General] klaberte:
It seems that I've tried several different combinations. Regardless of the configuration, the people at the other end always complain of delay and echo. I understand that there will be delay if you use a cellular data connection, but I am getting this complaint even when I use wifi.

Is this a case of "you get what you pay for"? Or is making a direct connection to sipgate from a phone (my N1 using SIPdroid) not the lowest latency solution?

What configs seem to have the least latency?
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
It seems the codecs have the biggest impact on perceived latency. Using pbxes.org and gizmo5 (and csipsimple), I am able to select an appropriate codec to maximize encoding efficiency and quality for the network connection that I have.
[Nexus One General] wvcachi:
Um....

My impression is that pbxes.ORG isn't the most trustworthy company I've come across. We disagree on this company. Fine. Each person can form his own opinion. But is there really a need to try to dismiss someone else's opinion with "you left off the .org so therefore I'm going to respond as if you were referring to a pbx phone?" ...would you go looking to buy a Kindle in the middle of the Amazon River?
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
Sorry for the misunderstanding... I was referring to the quote that klaberte was referencing, not the post itself.

The way it was worded, I had no way of knowing for sure that he was referring to the pbx services offered by pbxes.org versus all the other pbxes out there.

Thanks for the attitude, though. It is much appreciated - and far more useful than the information (and personal experience) that I was trying to convey.
[Nexus One General] klaberte:
Both you guys have provided invaluable information. I thank you both!

So let me try to understand this. At first, my impression was that using pbxes.org only made sense if you had a complicated VoIP setup. If you just had one SIP number and one SIP client (on your phone), using pbxes.org wasn't necessary, and in fact, provided an additional hop and chance for latency.

Now, from some of the recent posts here, I am getting the sense that the pbxes.org has additional codecs choices (over a direct link to sipgate), and it is this last link, between the pbxes.org and the sipdroid client that is the most limited, and thus the choice of codecs here is most important.

If this is the case, using pbxes.org in the route could actually improve the quality. Stated slightly differently, if you have a good codec pairing between pbxes.org and sipdroid, it is mostly irrelevant whether you use sipgate or gizmo5 behind it.

Am I clueless, or am I piecing this together correctly?

What are the codecs that people use that appear to have the least latency and complaints from the other end?

Thanks!

Ken

p.s. Isn't it crazy that the words invaluable and valuable mean roughly the same thing (as compared to, say, incomplete and complete)!
[Nexus One General] codesplice:
I think you've got it pretty close - at least to how I understand it. I don't have my phone with me at the moment so I can't recall which protocols I was having the best luck with. I'd suggest that you just experiment with a few of them - you can make test calls to your voicemail to get a rough idea of which codecs work for the network you're connecting on.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I've been looking around for this too but have yet to see it in action or hear about how it works.

The ironic thing is that people have already been porting Gingerbread to several phones from the SDK/Emulator, but no one's doing it for the Nexus One. Irony, eh?

Hopefully someone from the other phone forums can post a video or something.
[Nexus One General] teh_lorax:
I fail to understand why anyone would want to. The "ports" aren't even remotely usable.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Just to check it out. Curiosity / Fun :cool:
[Nexus One General] klaberte:
security?

Could someone with some knowledge give a brief summary of the security of android SIP? Are user/password sent in the clear? Are the actual voice packets encrypted between the SIP client and SIP server?
[Nexus One General] torchedlh:
This guide seems SO simple compared to the sipgate/sipsorcery/pbxes setup that i currently have (which is really fragile! pbxes disconnects all the time..). Does this setup allow you to use TCP with sipdroid or must you use UDP? If it works with TCP I'm sold!
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
From the settings menu, it looks like it does (pic attached) :cool:
[Nexus One General] torchedlh:
that's not quite what i'm getting at. it's not a question of whether the app supports TCP, but the gizmo account. Can you try to disable UDP (so it's forced to use TCP) and tell me if it still works? The reason why TCP is preferable is because TCP uses WAY less battery than UDP. FYI, sipdroid can connect directly to SIPgate using UDP, but why a lot of people choose to add SIPsorcery and PBXes is because that setup works with TCP.
[Nexus One General] Emrys_90:
I got this setup on my G2 using CSipSimple and Gizmo5, and there's next to no lag during a call. But I get complaints that I cut out very badly and they can't hear me, but I can hear them perfectly. Is there anyway to resolve this?
[Nexus One General] cesierra:
It seems like you have a low upload speed. Check by doing a speed test. There's an app for that in the market. Speedtest.net app.
[Nexus One General] [IO]ERROR:
I'm running cSipSimple over pbxes.org via Gizmo5 and it works great over WiFi and 3G.

What is shocking to me is that no one has bothered to remove the WiFi only restriction on any of the Android 2.3 roms so far. I would have thought that would have been the first thing people did.

ok so the other day i went and downloaded cognition v2.3b3 and it went off without a problem. i then wanted to download the v2.3b3 update and the stock lock and circle battery indicators. so i read that i needed to remove voodoo or disable it so i created the disable lag-fix folder, then i read that i needed to use odin and return to stock firmware...i tried that and it didnt work, so then i remembered that i needed to enter download mode...i couldnt get it into download mode...i used oclf thinking i needed to do that to then use odin but it didnt work...i did all this because the update supposedly had the android 2.1 keyboard with that haptic feedback...please help i want to return to stock and i can take it from there...and yes i did search the forums but cog is so big that there are tons of things associated with it and i didnt see my answer..my phone still works ...btw cog is great i love it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
If you are trying to flash stock you need to read more about Odin. Cog has nothing to do with it. If you want to move up with cognition you do not have to go back to stock. You can flash the update through Rom manager. Just make sure lag fix is disabled. I see you made the folder make sure you reboot.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsachi:
After you disable lagfix, make sure your phone is set to usb development mode (settings->applications).

Before you start, I recommend copying everything from the internal sdcard to your computer for backup.

1. Start the Odin one click to stock and connect your phone. Do a master clear. I've had some trouble with master clear after cog 2.3, but it's the first thing to try

2. turn phone off. Make sure usb is disconnected, SIM is out, and the odin program open on PC. Hold both volume keys and insert USB cable. You have to wait a couple of seconds until you see the digging robot. If you got that, you're in download mode. Click on the start and wait until the rebooting cycles are over.

3. If you couldn't do a master reset before, try it again. I would also recommend reformating the internal sdcard and copying back only what you need (assuming you backed it up).
