Re: [Linphone-users] Newbee: nothing works

[Ted Krasnicki]

Hi Simon:
Thanks for your reply and the information.

All this SIP stuff is new for me.  I got an Android tablet and a Chinese 
knock off of a Smart phone over Christmas.  I do not plan to use the 
cell phone connection with these so I got interested in this SIP stuff.  
Skype for Android does not have either speech or video at the moment, 
and I cannot figure out if Google talk is available for Android.

I was finally able to access the smart phone running linphone but using 
Ekiga on my desktop.  The linphone for Windows cannot connect with the 
Android smart phone, and I spent a long time trying.  I just installed a 
few minutes ago the latest version of linphone on the desktop, but at 
the moment I cannot do anything because the sip.linphone.org server 
seems to be down.

When I was connected through Ekiga, though, it was very strange.  There 
was quite a delay from my speaking on the smart phone to the time that I 
was heard on the desktop and vice versa.  The longer I was connected, 
the greater was the delay.  After I was connected for 2 minutes for 
instance, the delay was almost 30 seconds, clearly unusable.   At the 
outset, the delay was only a few seconds.  But the quality of the voice 
was awful too.  Very chopped up.   Is this normal?  I use ADSL.   Can 
you suggest ways I can get a normal phone like connection for the voice, 
and I will worry about the video at a later time?

Thanks,
Ted
