Nikolai:
Thanks for your reply.
The number of hours I wasted trying to get things to work on this
SIP system is not worth the results. I did have some success using
Linphone, Emansip, and Ekega. I say some because the voice quality
was never phone like. It was often chopped up or delayed, pretty
well unusable. When I communicated between (Windows) desktop and
desktop it was perfect.
I tried sipdroid, and I could only receive (chopped) calls, but I
was never able to initiate calls through it. I also found that on
my tablet and smart phone the calls would terminate after 38 or 39
seconds. I did the testing near the WAP so it was not a low WIFI
signal that was the problem.
Also, I am not able to receive or make calls all the time on these
little devices, as things do not always work, and I have found no
pattern to this.
I am also unable to use Google voice on these devices, as I am told
that I am not registered for Google voice which not correct since I
do use Google voice top make calls from my desktops.
Either it is the devices (but Internet runs fine on them), or, I
suspect, perhaps Android itself that is the problem. I am using
Android 2.1 on the tablet, and 2.2 on the smart phone.
I wish there could be a mini Linux for these devices as I like
Linux, although I must use Windows on my desktops because of my
programming work.
Thanks, again,
Ted

Android, does have google talk, I figure your
trying to make free phone calling through sip right? since your
using android as in the your android tablet, with linphone or
any other sip client you can make phone calls with, I use
sipdroid, check for it in the android market, also if your smart
phone is a android device as well you can try sipdroid on it as
well.
In terms of your lag it shouldn't be that bad b/c i use ekiga on
ubuntu 10.10 (linux) and for my set up I have people who call me
on plain old telephone systems and there is no lag at all.

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

Hi Ted,
First did you received the emails with the
confirmation links for the
two accounts ?
On the windows version, password is prompted when
needed. If it did not
asked for it, it means that it did not succeed to
contact the server.
Are you sure of the configuration you entered ?
Now about the contacts on Android app, we use the
Android native
addressbook, which indeed does not necessarily make
things easy for
entering sip uris.
My recommendation is to type the sip uris manually and
then retrieve
them in the History tab (once you made a call to
them).

Hi:
I installed linphone for Android on my tablet, and
linphone for Windows
on my base computer. I got the free sip from sip.linphone.org,
made 2
accounts (i.e. user names) one for the tablet and
one for the base
computer, tried to call each other and nothing
happens. I notice there
is no place on the Windows linphone app to put in my
password, while
there is on the Android app. Also, on the Android
app, I cannot put in
any contacts: it says to press menu and then go to
accounts, but nothing
happens when I press menu. Cannot put any contacts
on the Windows
version either, but I haven't figured out how to go
about doing that yet.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Ted
