Is there a way to get wifi calling working in these custom roms. None of the non US sbfs or custom roms I've tried has this feature. Is there an apk or something to flash at this point in time?
I've been trying to figure this out using the us group and messing with the build.prop but I haven't had any success. I know for T-Mobile US users it would be great to get this figured out.
dunno if this helps or not, but take a look here and here.

What do you mean by calling? Skype works, Google Talk with audio works too. And I use a sip client called CSipsimple to call landlines and to make free direct ip calls. Don't see how this is different with stock roms because all these functions are from 3rd party software. I haven't tried Gingerbread's native sip client.

Not SIP calling. T-Mobile US has a feature called UMA or Wifi Calling. It basically is a SIP client that routes calls/SMS over the wifi radio instead of the Cellular Radio. It's not exactly Google Voice/Talk or the builtin 2.3 SIP client.

The Defy has it in stock form, but many roms don't include this, as they're made for non-US phones. JBoogie's has it I believe.

Hi everyone.
I need a SIP Client to make voip calls using my provider, which is Telepac (from portugal).
I have tried using Fring and it works only for the first call, after that it always terminates the call as it starts dialing (i dont know why..). Still, the call i've made i noticed that i need my cruise head phones to be able to hear/speak correctly.
So, does someone know a better application to make voip calls?
I need to be able to save my SIP configuration, username, pass and proxy, and to be able to talk without using my head phones.
Any help is appreciated.
Best regards,
MFelicio.
try Fring.. it's free..
i installed it yesterday... works good for me..
Download from here
hope it will be usefull...
Ageet's AGEPhone 2.5 worked really good on my trinity when I had it. Sound came out normally through the internal ear speaker, not the rear speaker like most apps out there, so no headphone was needed. I don't know if it supports internal speaker for the Polaris, but you could give it a try. It's really good VOIP software.

can u make voip calls using the SIP addon? If so, can you save your SIP configuration? I always have to select "Other", thus never saving a configuration

Fring has long delays and you send them your passwords in clear text!
Anybody tested Ageet's AGEPhone 2.5 on the Polaris? Can you make a phone call using the internal ear speaker (not for speaking free with the speaker on the rear side)?
Try Gizmo5
I have had good luck using Gizmo5 (www.gizmo5.com ) in the past. They are Open Source and connect to many other VoIP companies.
For just software, many years ago, I had SJphone working. ( http://www.sjlabs.com/sjp.html).
Both are FREE and good luck
Hi.
Lookin for Skype app working with 3UK 3G network.
As many of u knows 3UK users have free Skype.
Standard app cant connect thru 3G
Found an Skype app for 3UK but only for android.
Anyone knows about WM version ???
Help much appreciated.
errr??? I have a skype 3.0 gold cab which I searched for on the forums and it works fine via 3G on my HD2 with O2???
It took about five mins to connect the first time, but subsequently connects within 10seconds over 3G (wifi disabled).
TBH no network wants skype 3G traffic - only way to get it over 3G is either sanctioned as 3UK do, or via jailbroken iphones. That's one reason why skype pulled WM6.5 support - because they could not guarantee to lock it down to wifi as they can on iphone.
Plz read the thread carefully, i stated 3UK not O2.
Thats the difference. Big one.
Any one else?
Edit: And im lookin for any version, not newest. Any.
I am in UK and on 3 network.
Skype V3 for WM works fine and connects perfectly over 3G. You don't need a specific 3 version...

My skype v3 after 60 sec or so, showing me a cant connect error.
Any ideas?
my point was to leave it for a long time - it appeared not to connect but eventually did regardless of network and versions.
The OP is referring to the specific skype through the 3 network app that is found on 3 issue phones.
There is nothing that allows this as 3 don't support the HD2 and so there is no model specific app.
Winmo skype does not have the facility to dial a "local" based number which is how the 3 network accesses the skype service for free through its own dedicated servers.
It may be possible to extract a 3 version app from another winmo model that 3 do support, but, then would it install on the HD2?
BTW Skype connects through any 3G network or WiFi by default.

The problem is that they only list the Hero as a supported HTC phone and that's Android!
No way to make a patch in skype to send identification as hero?

The included app is specifically written for the android OS so very little chance.
Does anyone know if its possible to use the skype for verizon on our Evo? If we could get this working it would be awesome. Wonder if its just a straight.apk. We could port over.
Why not just use Nimbuzz for Skype
Nimbuzz is the only Skype app that works for me now that fring lost support.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
This has been discussed before, OP. If you try to run the Skype app from a Verizon phone, as soon as you launch it, it'll say that the app only runs on devices on the Verizon network, and then close.
IM+ by Shape Services also works with Skype. Though, only Nimbuzz will allow you to place and receive Skype calls.
Nope for skype app from verizon but there is a lite version floating around here....
According to Engadget, an update was just released that supports WiFi, so we have to assume that until someone gets a chance to test it on a non Verizon phone, it might work now.
FWIW, I also have an EVO, so I too would like to see Skype on Android, not tied to a specific carrier, though I haven't tried Nimbuzz yet. I just want Skype to hurry up with the development of their app, and support video too, or at least unblock Fring, but who knows if that'll ever happen...
Update: apparently it still doesn't work for EVO. The APK is linked to from one of the comments here:

I have tried a few things such as xeudoxus' modded skype but no luck.
Is there any ways to enable Skype to Skype calls via 3G?

Xeudoxus is the only known hack (that I'm aware of) that allows for 3G usage of Skype in the US. Did you uninstall your non-3G version of Skype before replacing it with the Xeudoxus version?
Yes of course I did. I keep getting the out of space error.
So most (all?) Android phones all you to enter in SIP credentials from settings>call>Internet call settings. I have a few SIP accounts that I have entered, but it only seems to initialize when I am on wifi. Given that I regularly have 4G service I would like to be able to receive incoming calls on these accounts. Is there any way to disable to wifi requirement? I find it strange that this is still enabled given that I am running a non stock ROM!

BesT THING TO DO IS DELETE YOUR setting and download csimple or the link underneath here and with this software you can use your 4g or 3g service for internet calling.beside i had the same problem it wouldn't let me make call through hsdpa or 3.5g. so after downloading everytrhing is working perfectly.
link
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.csipsimple&hl=en
In all stock and custom ROMs that I have tried Internet Calling is available on WIFI only.
You would therefore need a third party app such as cSipsimple, Sipdroid, Bria or Acrobits.
You also need to check if you provider allows SIP calls. I am on Vodafone UK and they allow it only to customers with 900 minutes(or more) monthly plan, others are blocked.
Shery4life: giffgaff is a virtual provider, which network do they use?

I was considering using CSimple, however it is my understanding that it must be used with a 3rd party hosted pbx (or your own pbx of course). Can it be used standalone on the phone?

Well, if the following instructions are followed you can enable it regardless of whether your carrier allows it. However, I dont feel comfortable making the changes suggested in the link.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354838
All the apps in my post are standalone and do not require any hosted PBX. You will need username, password and SIP server info from your SIP provider.
The link you have provided will enable the internal SIP client of Android to work over 3G/H, which is what you have asked in the openning post.
It will not enable SIP if your mobile provider blocks it

So I decided to try out Csipsimple and it seems to do the trick. However, I would prefer to use the native app if possible do to more efficient battery use (allegedly). If anyone can create a flashable zip from my original link that would be great.
The ROM that I am using has been prepared by someone who does not post it on XDA.
It's called SENSITY and it's based on the European stock ROM 1.xx.401.x.
This Chef has actually created a flashable ZIP file for this purpose. Link:
http://www.multiupload.com/OEQMIVKJYW.
He has tested it only on his own ROM, but THINKS it will work on any rom based on the above.
If you want to test it, make a NAND backup first and give it a try.

Thanks bud! Just so I am clear, is that zip supposed to enable SIP calling while on the carriers network (using my current ROM) or is it a whole new ROM with that function enabled?
It is JUST to enable Internet (SIP) Calls from your native application.
The guy just used the instructions in the link that you had provided and produced a ZIP file that would lift the WiFi only restriction.IT IS NOT A NEW ROM. You would retain your cuurent ROM. Once you have flashed it, let us know if it worked.

Thanks, I will test it out shortly and get back to you.
I flashed the ZIP file from my post above and it worked. It removed the Wifi only from the native SIP Client (Settings>Call>Use Internet Calling).
However, I did not find this application to be user friendly.
1. There is no indication whether the account has successfully registered with the SIP provider.
2. When using multiple providers, you would need to go back to settings each time you want to change the account to be used.
Third party applications do show state of account registration and let you choose the account to be used from the dialler screen.
For now, I will stick with Acrobits and CsipSimple.

Thank you for reporting back on this, I still have not had the opportunity to flash it myself. However, I did want to point out that the native Android app does support the functions you just mentioned. You can check the status of each SIP connection by going to settings>call>Internet call settings. Once there, select "use internet calling" and change it to "ask for each call". Also be sure that you have "receive incoming calls" checked if you want to do more than just place calls. In either case thanks for the link, I will try both methods and see if one has a significant advantage.
