The "auto-answer" function doesn't work for me either. I always have to answer the call manually, myself. This might be something that the GV Callback developer made to use specifically with Sipdroid.....

(taken from the official GV Callback website/blog)

"Interact better with Sipdroid: option for auto-answer for the Google Voice incoming call, and option to start Sipdroid when callback"

http://musingsfromtheunderground.blogspot.com/

.....so if you REALLY want this feature to work, you might want to try using it in conjunction with Sipdroid, rather than the stock built in SIP stack. Other than trying that route, the only other thing that I could suggest is to contact the GV Callback developer directly about this
[Nexus S General] cheddar 151:
Thank you.

Followed your instructions, after quite some time looking on the web for info without results. They worked quite well. Sometimes people I call out to cannot hear me, but I am working on that.

I am hoping to cut my monthly phone bill in half with this trick... and pay for my phone. I had loved my EVO until I fired up my Nexus S. Thank you xdadevelopers, thank you MCKopp, (oh, and thank you, Google).

Sipgate/GV Callback/Google Voice also give me a better connection through my Broadband in my neck of the woods (and I do mean woods) than T-Mob or the affiliate it frequently dumps me off to ... (and I think I have a low priority on their network).

Is there any way to text message from this phone number? If so I may give it a try. 90% of my communications are thru text or email.
[Nexus S General] MotorcycleKopp:
It appears that this MAYBE possible using the "WebSMS" app

http://www.appbrain.com/app/websms/de.ub0r.android.websms

in conjunction with the "WebSMS: sipgate Connector"

http://www.appbrain.com/app/websms:-sipgate-connector/de.ub0r.android.websms.connector.sipgate

-that is, if you are using Sipgate. Search for the proper WebSMS connector if you are using a different SIP provider.

It appears that WebSMS only allows you to SEND txt messages, but there is another app (by the same developer) which allows you to READ txt messages, and works in conjunction with WebSMS, called SMSdroid

http://www.appbrain.com/app/smsdroid/de.ub0r.android.smsdroid

Here is the developer's site, which features both main apps....

http://code.google.com/p/websmsdroid/

....however, I have NOT tried this myself & have no idea how (or IF it even works). And this MAY charge against your minutes on your Sipgate account, I'm not 100% sure though. There maybe other methods of doing this out there, but this was the first one that I came across which actually looked promising. If you try it out, let us know how/if it works!!
[Nexus S General] azzeh3:
Is this buy any chance illegal? Like buying an account from some one and using it?
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
No... if the sellers on ebay were selling the gizmo account, then yes that would be illegal, and ebay would promptly remove the listing. however, they are not selling the accounts, they are selling the "instructions" of how to use it and giving the gizmo account to you...and that is legal.

Nexus S wifi calling

So got a nexus s to replace my nexus one. I've noticed there isn't a wifi-calling app. My dad is on call at the hospital all the time and needs to stay there because they require a surgon on the floor at all times but he hates the phone he has. The hospital has absolutely no reception for any carrier so my dad got a blackberry bold 8900 and uses that. He saw my new phone and was amazed and wants it. I have no clue on how to get wifi calling to work. Can someone help me out with this?

im pretty sure he wants a UMA solution
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
so do i...but there isn't one, this is the next best thing (maybe better because it doesn't use minutes)

however, there is a thread in development in regards to it...
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
Ive tried both methods for the VOiP solution and I dunno, to me the quality just doest seem there.

UMA would be nice for people who dont have great reception, and who dont wanna for out 200 bucks for one of these http://jdteck.com/

Not going to lie, I kinda want one to say I have one,
[Nexus S General] onicrom:
just wanted to say thanks very much, this was a very helpful set of insutrctions

does anyone have opinions re: gizmo5 vs sipgate

assuming they were both free, which is better? why?
[Nexus S General] dlb92:
it appears sipgate is no longer free. It looks like they caught on to the google voice thing as there is no mention of "free incoming calls"

When I set it up it took away my 60 free minutes no matter what I did.
[Nexus S General] vypurr:
So I had all of this working for a couple of days now on my CM7 OG Droid. Works great, except for one thing....There appears to be a 20 minute time limit?

My setup is this:

Motorola Droid

Cyanogen 7 (Android 2.3)

Gizmo5 (setup through the built in SIP app)

GV Callback

I place a call on my phone

GV Callback calls back to my Gizmo5 number

I answer

I talk

After 20 minutes, it hangs up

Is this normal? Is there any way around this? I often take calls for work which are 2+ hrs!

I know I could make longer calls when I had SIPDroid setup to use PBXes.org and Google Voice.
[Nexus S General] Mr.Clark:
So this is of little use to people outside the US and Canada then?

I'd imagine that if I set this up it either wouldn't work or everyone would be making international calls to get hold of the SIP number in the first place?

Come on Google... Google Voice UK please!
[Nexus S General] ninjordan:
Instead of properly registering, when I try to add my sipgate account to my phone it says "Account registration failed; please check the server name"

I've double checked the username and password, and the server is sipgate.com

Any ideas?
[Nexus S General] okyere:
So I did the whole set up. I have a CM7 nightly on my Nexus One without a sim card. I got the Gizmo5 + Google voice + GV Call back to work ..... for a day. Then suddenly tonight, I don't hear anything after I answer the call back. Sometimes, I'll hear the ringing on the other side for about 5 seconds and then I won't hear anything anymore. When making international call, I'll hear the part that gv lady says "The cost of this call is..." then I won't hear anything afterwards. So I can't tell if it is ringing but I'm not hearing or that it is not ringing at all. This whole time, the call will be connected. I'll appreciate some help if anyone knows or has had any experience like that.

for german users: i got an sipgate.de acc and loaded it for €5. it worked without any problems, just add the sipgate account in your nexus settings for voip. On stock gingerbread you need WLAN. With CM7 (nightlies) I was able to call my telefone at home over edge. but on edge I guess it's hard to unterstand me (couldn't test it yet). on 1mbit wlan (@work... yeah I know LOL but t-systems suxx in my office area^^) my girldfriend told me she heard her own voice twice.

Nexus S is not working for placing internet calling over Wifi

Guys,

I have a Nexus S and I just trying to use the SIP client that is embeded with Gingerbread.

I do have a VOIP provider. And I can receive calls but I cannot make calls from my nexus S.

I get a messag that says "called from out of network"

Could anyone help me on that ?
[Nexus S General] jroid:
I've already done this before the 1000 tries.

Sent from my Nexus S.
[Nexus S General] Zenoran:
humm... Okay now I'm confused... I have all these voip accounts setup and I don't know which one is actually being used in this scenario..

Firstly, I configured Google voice to use sipgate. I also configured sipgate in Internet calls on my phone... but then I went into google voice and saw that it separately has the option of making outgoing calls???

When dialing the number I selected "Use Google voice"

The number appears to be coming from google voice but is it using sipgate??? or my cell as fwd call??? or google voice's voip?? lol.

I know how to force sipgate through the voip settings u hit cancel for Use google voice, then select use internet call.. but if you select Use google voice what is it using for it's connection?

EDIT: nevermind... checked tmobile account and saw it actually used minutes in that situation. using google voice to make calls is still worthless. :)
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
put your phone in airplane mode, then turn wifi back on....
[Nexus S General] heinrich:
I use gv just fine, but for outgoing, I use gv callback. Incoming calls to gv are routed by gv to only one number namely my sip number (I use gizmo5). Outgoing calls use gv callback to call me back on my sip number. Lol @ the poster re: edge. Yes edge isn't so good for VoIP. But 3G and wifi rule.
[Nexus S General] denis_y_s:
I just received email from Gizmo5 :eek::eek:

-Hello,

Gizmo5 is writing to let you know that we will no longer be providing service starting on April 3, 2011. A week from today, March 11, 2011, you will no longer be able to add credit to your account.

Although the standalone Gizmo5 client will no longer be available, we have since launched the ability to call phones from within Gmail at even more affordable rates.

Thank you,

The Gizmo5 Team

So, I guess it's over :( ...
[Nexus S General] betabob26:
What alternatives are there to Gizmo5? I tried to register for Sipgate but the site says they are no longer giving out new numbers.
[Nexus S General] denis_y_s:
I just read this article about Google Voice adding SIP capabilities - http://truvoipbuzz.com/2011/03/make-unlimited-sip-calls-to-google-voice-number-tutorial/ but I can't figure out can it be applied to the SIP on our Android, for making and receiving VoIP calls? :confused:

[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
works over 3g if you are on CM7. not sure about world use, only tried in US.

-time to update OP as gizmo5 is dead in 2 weeks. I have found a few new good options;)
[Nexus S General] denis_y_s:
Can you share with us those new good options!? :rolleyes:

I downloaded the Sip2Sip stuff and created a new account. But dang, greek to me as to how to set it up to work with our Nexus phones. If anyone can figure this out, it would be awsome.

OP is updated for pbxes.org;)
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Okay this is a stupid question but I can't seem to figure it out. How do I actually make calls over this. I've got it all set up but it still seems to be calling through the cell radio.

EDIT:

Nevermind, figured that out but I seem to have set something up incorrectly.

EDIT:

I've now quadrupled checked all of my settings and still no matter what I do, the call just ends before anything and says "not connected" Perhaps its MIUI
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
possibly miui... also I could have overlooked something in the instructions. hmmm. seems all good

we will if anyone else chimes in and says working or not for them
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
forgot one important step...working it out right now
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Switched to CM7 and same issue but more specific now: it says number unreachable.

Ah ok
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
fixed. should be easy now:o
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Hmm...I'm not seeing any setting like that. Assuming this is the correct app it just opens up to the following screen:

Okay, I've now tried sipdroid on CM7 rc2 (themed), CM7 rc2 (stock), Axura, MIUI, and Stock. Each ROM I've installed it, then opened it and there was no button so I uninstalled it and reinstalled and reopened. Still no button. I cleared the apps data and still no button. It looks like my phone just won't let me make SIP calls :(
[Nexus S General] AndroidMilos:
Ogdobber, first of all thanks for the info you provided. I setup my Pbxes correctly I think (says that primary account is recieving calls). But I am confused.

First of all, how do I call out? Will dialing out activate a connection automatically thru the pbxes route?

Do I need to have GVoice callback active?

How to people call me? Via my Google Voice number?

I don't remember having to setup my Gvoice number anywhere in the Pbxes setup area.

Thanks again for the "how to" article you introduced.
[Nexus S General] bestofrhcp:
hey guys, I have gone through the instructions on this thread and have got out-going calls working, but when i call my GV # , my phone doesnt ring. did i miss a step somewhere?...
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
your welcome.

under settings/callsettings at the very bottom you have to select when to use internet calling. I choose ask for each call.

Your google voice is setup using the sipdroid app (it installs everything and make that part a little easier) you DO NOT need sipdroid anymore.

when you call using the internet option people see your google voice number and when people call your google voice number your internet line rings

I also take it a step futher and forward my cell number to my google voice (if I don't answer) then I will get all my calls via wifi
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
you need to check recieve incoming calls;)
[Nexus S General] amjad_2020:
Thank you so much :D
[Nexus S General] bestofrhcp:
Lol yea I did :) ... But no luck :(
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
got it! go to your google voice settings and make sure forward calls to google chat is checked;)
[Nexus S General] AndroidMilos:
Ogdobber, again, thank you for the info and your reply.

Just one more question. Does the "Gvoice call back" application play any part in this? Or do I need to just delete this other application.

Thank you again
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
delete the app. its all done through google voice/talk
[Nexus S General] bestofrhcp:
i dont have that option in my google voice app... do i have to have the settings "always use GV make calls "?
[Nexus S General] bestofrhcp:
i also noticed that in the last step it says "Add inbound and outbound routing".. there is not an option for that on the page .. or is it somewhere else?
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
you need to adjust the settings on your computer to add google talk

install sipdroid and it will automatically configure it (then uninstall sipdroid)
[Nexus S General] bestofrhcp:
awesome!!! it worked!!!!! thank you so much!!!
[Nexus S General] thrik:
Odgobber (or anyone else), do you have a pbxes Soho account?

I'm having issues getting mine set up. I even posted a topic a while ago but I got no replies.

Here is my issue, copied from the pbxes system log:

Mar 23 21:14:14	VERBOSE[114954] logger.c: -- Sending DTMF '1' to the calling party.

Mar 23 21:14:17	VERBOSE[114954] logger.c: -- Called h@from-pstn/n

Mar 23 21:14:17	VERBOSE[114954] logger.c: == Everyone is busy/congested at this time (1:0/0/1)

Whenever I try to call my number, I just hear a click and silence. I assume it's hanging up on me but I have no clue why... :\
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
sounds like maybe you are getting a forwarding "loop" I don't know where but I would say disable all call forwarding and start over adding one "device/number) at a time
[Nexus S General] thrik:
When I try to completely disable call forwarding from my Nexus, it just says my carrier (T-Mobile) doesn't support disabling it. :\

Do you have any other ideas? Sigh... I've been trying to figure this out for a month.

I've also tried restarting from scratch about like five times...
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
what do you use for voice mail? google voice? then switch to tmobile. the nexus s doesn't forward by default...
[Nexus S General] thrik:
I'm actually using an N1, as I can't find any other good SIP threads on the forum...

When I switched to T-Mobile, I get the same error as before.
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
N1 doesn't matter...gingerbread is the key. try setting up a new free account... follow the instructions on the op using sipdroid. use a different username and then once completed compare the two accounts. you are missing some aspect in your soho pbxes.
[Nexus S General] thrik:
The strange thing is, I've been able to use pbxes before on this phone (with Gizmo5). The only problem I had then was that it would either 1) drop my calls after sometime or 2) only let me receive audio (I couldn't talk to the other party).

That's why I decided to go Soho. Unfortunately, I've never gotten it to work.

I have to get to bed about now. I'll tinker away at this thing again tomorrow, and I'll report back. Thanks so much for your time, it's been a long time since I've gotten any help on the matter :)
[Nexus S General] trevmar:
Thrik, to replace my Gizmo5 account I have now configured my CSipSimple on my HTC Dream / Cyanogenmod 6.1.0 to have redundant connections through PBXes.org (GTALK) and also via a IPkall / Sip2sip pathway.

I have to manually switch both GV and CSipSimple for the pathway I want to use, but both seem equally reliable, with the PBXes GTALK pathway giving about 500msec latency, half of the IPkall solution. Better quality, too.

One thing about Google Voice is that GV ONLY uses the PCMU (log PCM) codec, and will refuse a connection unless PCMU is enabled in CSipSimple...
[Nexus S General] thrik:
Okay, I solved half of my issue. I can now receive internet calls! The problem was rather dumb. If my inbound route's trunk was named, the call wouldn't go through. I learned this after creating a new account as suggested by ogdobber, and comparing the two accounts I had.

I'm now trying to work out outbound calling, since it seems to want to use my normal minutes to do so. It does this for both the new and the old accounts...
[Nexus S General] trevmar:
<sarcasm>

Ha - and you think this isn't intentional behavior? (Got to to keep the carriers happy) :) :) :)

</sarcasm>
[Nexus S General] trevmar:
FYI, IMO the PBXes.org solution for GV/GTALK is a much better setup than Gizmo5 ever was.

There is a learning curve with PBXes.org, but what I now appreciate most is the automatic forwarding to any cellphone SIM number (worldwide) when the SIP connection is not available. This will allow me to get my GV calls in China (via GV/GTALK -- PBXes -- PSTN forward to China Mobile SIM) even if the SIP ports are blocked by the Great Firewall...

It also allows me to use WiFi SIP when in my office (USA), where I do not get usable cell-tower signal, automatically switched by PBXes to the PSTN T-Mobile number when I leave WiFi coverage without worrying about 3G speed hassles... a good replacement for the UMA I had with my BlackBerry for so many years.

I think I will stay with CSipSimple - it has excellent integration with the Android dialler, as well as ability to only register SIP on (say) WiFi, 3G, EDGE, etc...

Downside - it costs money - $5/mo for PBXes.org plus per minute fees --- Hey - it's only money... and I can switch to a lower cost PAYG cell carrier now...
[Nexus S General] bestofrhcp:
when i do the step for the GTALK trunk and i press submit, nothing happens, why is that?
[Nexus S General] ogdobber:
I think it is a bug on their website. use sipdroid to automatically configure it for you
[Nexus S General] thrik:
Hey odgobber, I'm not sure if you saw... but I managed to get my inbound calling figured out. I'm having problems with outbound calling, however.

I'm currently using GV Callback to be able to place calls. Do you know if this degrades call quality at all? If it doesn't, I'm happy to just use this method for now.
[Nexus S General] swa2k4:
What are these new free options?
[Nexus S General] bestofrhcp:
I had to manually make one because od sipdroid saying a registery error, but they stopped registering for a while. But, I have incoming calls going, but I need the Gtalk trunk for outgoing calls now lol ><
[Nexus S General] robkoehler:
I can't figure out for the life of me why i can make outbound calls via the sipdroid app, but not through cm7 internet calling. Both are using the same settings from what i can tell. I'm on CM7-RC3 for the Glacier.
[Nexus S General] hmanxx:
I have pbxes account...accidentally i deleted trunk call with Gtalk..immediately i cant use Fring to call with SIP that link to my pbxes account..

Trying to add Gtalk back to Trunk of Pbxes..however..after submitting the case..the blank page shown..

From Sipdroid app..which highlighted..Adding Google Voice trunk no longer available for Free Pbxes account. Existing users are not affected..

New Sipdroid app removed the add new pbxes.org account function..Now I cant create a new account to compare with my existing account and try to recover it..

Anyone has details of outbound setting with G.Voice ..I need to manually patch it back.

For existing free account users..please do not delete your trunk with gtalk..once done..you cant get it back without paying..

Stupid am i, no more simple solution .
[Nexus S General] SpookyTunes:
sipgate has available numbers

sipgate now has available numbers in Area Code 415. Link it to Google Voice and place your outbound calls from Google Voice web interface or 3rd party Android app. Since incoming calls (including outbound ones placed from Google Voice Web, with ring Sipdroid number) are free, you will never need to use the free 60 minutes.
[Nexus S General] AndroidMilos:
Well, the Sipdroid/pbxes/gvoice seems to be working great at least in bound. This is a big learning curve on Pbxes.org site when I sign in but thank goodness Sipdroid fills in the blanks there. Also keep in mind that the Pbxes.org would like to see your personal page filled out or they may terminate your account there.

Any way, on incoming calls I can see it coming from Sipdroid. But, on outgoing calls, I do not see any "Sipdroid" acknowledgement that the call is indeed being intercepted by Sipdroid and going out via VOIP. I did three test calls yesterday and one of those calls got logged in (Tmobile) as using minutes but the other two did not. Might have been a hiccup-dunno. But still, do I go on faith that all my outgoing calls ARE intercepted by Sipdroid even though there is no sign on the screen? I only see two choices-Dialer or SkypeOut(which I also have on my Nexus) but no Sipdroid choice when trying to dial out. Should there be one?

On my Nexus I have checked "Use Internet calling" "Only for Internet calls" and on Sipdroid I had checked="Use WLAN, Use 3G,Use Edge".
[Nexus S General] vypurr:
If you have Gingerbread, you should not use SIPDroid anymore. You should use Sipdroid to configure your account, and then log into that account using the built in CIP Stack in Gingerbread!

User - [username]-200 (found in pbxes.org > extensions > sipdroid > username)

Server - pbxes.org
