Wonder if anyone else had this issue. When using VOIP app Fongo on my Nexsu 5, receiving side always had echo which is annoying. Voice quality also not very good, some times cut in and out. On same network connection, iPhone 4S has much better voice quality and no echo on receiving side,
Any suggestion what may improve VOIP call quality? I noticed that there are some complaints of this issue for Nexus 4, and there is user that report better VOIP quality with custom ROM such as Paranoid Android RC2.
Thanks.

bump anyone got this also? It is driving my mother nuts
I'm not sure if Fongo is proprietary, but both CsipSimple and the native sip dialer work great on the N5.

I am planning on buying the Groove Ip app that lets you make and recieve calls over ur 3g/4g and wifi and doesnt use your plan minutes. I am wondering if anyone here has used the app and if you can share your feedback? How's the quality of incoming and outgoing calls over 4g/4g? Is the call quality better over wifi? I tried gv over data with sipdroid but the set up was complicated and had to do it manually and the call quality was still not good. I am assuming groove ip does all this in the backend automatically.
Thanks.
So finally bought the app. I am on Tmobile Vibrant (Galaxy S) with froyo (rooted with Teamwhiskey's Bionix-V 1.3.1).... can anyone suggest the optimal settings? I have been getting poor performance and haven't found a configuration for GrooveIP that works perfect.
i used it with the default settings on my captivate and SGS2 with no problems.
The app is pretty impressive. I noticed the speaker sound was a little low so I increased it from settings and also increased the mic volume. Don't really know if its making any difference.

I think you might want to try "talkatone":
http://www.talkatone.com/android-preview.html
They have a wonderful app for iOS, and recently they started working on an Android version. (free app, Ad supported, with pro version available as well)
It is still in alpha 3, but it's not that bad...I think you should give it a try if you are a regular Google Voice user.
I've had a good experience with Groove IP over my WiFi network--don't use it much over 3G. I turn off echo canceling because I think it interferes with touch tones when using voice mail systems. Easy set up if you have a Google Voice number.
Works good for me default settings on Captivate and Atrix over WiFi, even with no sim card.
I use it at a hospital I do some work for. Have no cell signal, just wifi. Works ok. time of day seems to affect quality.
It seems as good as any other IP phone I've used.
Yeah, Groove IP, definitely worth it. I have it on my HTC Droid Eris rooted running sense 2.3. I use it all the time and the quality is good and I use it on my HTC Droid Incredible running Prime XL sense 3.5. It runs great.
The other person complains of echo @ his end. O tried lowering mic gain and speaker which helped but didnt completely resolved the problem.

Groove IP Disappeared from the Market..w/my new $5!!
Groove IP totally disappeared from the face of the Earth today(Android Market). I just paid $4.99 for the App two days ago and there gone. I know there not a fly by night app cause I have been hearing good things bout since my WinMo days. Is this want they do when they're updating the App? Is this normal or has me and many other been hood-winked??
U should make a titanium backup of the app incase they don't come back. This is very strange though.

I think they have gone Amazon Appstore exclusive.

They got suspended from the Android Market.

Great app. Those of you having issues it may be your connection. I never use mine over 3g just on my wifi at home (most other wifi are slower than my 3g).
As for the optimal settings I just use default. if you have latency or echo you can try the options. I think those issues are due to the connection as other voip have same problems. voip is not perfect yet, I dont use if for important calls but for those long calls to family/friends its perfect.
I'm interested in getting a G2x... Looks like good hardware for a good price right now, but I had a few questions to see if it will fit my needs.
-I'm going to be using it wifi-only. I'm planning on installing CSipSimple to use as a VOIP phone. Anyone have experience doing this? On my Samsung moment CSipSimple has terrible issues routing audio and microphone.
-I would like to hook up my wiimote and plug the phone into my TV with HDMI for emulators... Has anyone had experience with doing this? Theoretically it looks like it should work flawless.
-I may in the future want to hook it up to voice/data. But on the cheap through a prepaid carrier like straight talk. You can get sims from straight talk, but will I have to unlock the phone? Is it even possible for this to work? Has anyone here done it before?
-Wifi only, what's the battery life like? Is a full day with moderate usage (screen-on 3 hours sporadic usage, wifi always on for voip calls) possible? Without cell connections I'd think it would last longer than normal.
-Any other issues with the phone that annoy people that might turn me off to the device?
Thanks!
i just ordered one of these, waiting for it to arrive at this very moment
i saw on the LG site a TON of bad reviews on this thing, a lot of them recent. things like the phone rebooting during a call, running hot, locking up to the point you have to remove the battery, bad battery life, and a few others.
but there were just as many good reviews too, best phone ever, no issues at all, etc. and some of those from people saying they have had their phone for over a few months, so i'm hoping mine will be fine
and i too am looking at what i can do with this device. i hope i will not be dissapointed
You came to the right place, the developers here have done a great job making this phone as stable as possible. They are, of course, limited by the LG code that they are working with, but the custom ROMs correct many issues. Of course, if you get a bad phone/bad hardware, not much can be done, but that's a risk with any phone.

Just flash custom ROMs, the hardware on this phone is amazing for such a cheap price, but LG can't code software for crap.
The stock ROM is guaranteed to give you rebooting, overheating, lock ups, bad battery life, etc...
But CM7 based ROMs (NOT CM9 BASED, CM9 IS NOT FINISHED) are all pretty rock solid stable. And even some of the 2.3.3 builds are good, Bionix Reloaded is the only 2.3.3 one that has been recently updated, but man Bionix is smooth as butter.
Have fun with your new powerhouse of a phone.

I can speak specifically to this one cuz I found out the hard way. You'll need to install a CyanogenMod7 based rom for this to work. Unless something has changed, the stock based ROMs don't have the necessary blue tooth profiles to connect a wiimote, sixaxis, etc. I was running Weapon G2x and my wiimote would not connect...so I switched to CM7 and it works.
With that said i love my phone and have little to no issues since I began running custom roms.

I picked up this G2X off craigslist yesterday and after a day I am very pleased. I have CM7 on it with no issues. I have yet to sign up for service but have been making calls and texts using Google voice and groove IP together. Sound quality had been great. I switched from a Nexus S4G

it's an app interface to http://www.google.com/voice
Google Voice is a (free!!) virtual phone service allowing you to make and receive calls/SMS for free from a web browser and forward these calls/SMS to any other phones you own.
GrooveIP is a VOIP app that connects to google voice via your cell phone's wifi connection, so you don't need to rely on a cell voice connection.
The Google Voice android app does the same thing for SMS.

yeah thats some good info there, thanks for that! i was reading in my t-mobile start guide and it says that wifi calling MAY be metered just like cell phone minutes, i guess i'll have to call them to verify that. one of the reasons i got this was to make free wifi calls, but i will also check out this app!
You want to check out the Talkatone app instead of the Grove IP app.

This only seems to happen when I'm on a call with my fiance. We both have T-mobile and when we talk to each other it sounds like we are in a tunnel. It doesn't happen any other time it just seems like a T-mobile to T-mobile call. Is anyone else experiencing this?
I'm experiencing this as well.

I'm on the phone with a Tmo representative right now. I'd give them a call as well to see what's going on. I've had this issues since switching to Tmo last month.
Any update? As to what's causing this.

He passed it on to the engineers and said he would call me back this weekend to check up. The only problem is where I am now I have to use my work cell phone since I get a bad Tmo reception. He said everything that he could see looked fine. If it's widespread more people should call in to hopefully get it resolved.
I believe is that HD voice service. I notice it right away when my wife and I got our N5's.

Really?? It doesn't sound very clear. It sounds very airy.
Its prolly hd voice as mentioned where you are used to crappy voice and now you have better fidelity.
http://how-to.t-mobile.com/callquality/
That is unless it's not working right.
HD voice 2 months ago sounded like this for us in Hawaii, T-mobile CEO John.. after 1 week it was fixed
I could definitely hear the difference when I got my N5. It's only with other T-mobile user. It must be the HD Voice deal from T-mo. I think it sounds fantastic. Seems to be really clear and much better than normal calls. Normal calls sound just fine, but the Tmo to Tmo calls are great.

Is there any icon that is located on the screen when HD voice is activated? I have researched HD voice and it seems like on other phones there would be something on the call screen that let them know it's on. I haven't noticed anything on the N5.

I just got phone and its happened on every call. Its annoying. I can only make out every few words and they hear tunneling or echo sounds.
Yeah, I am not a fan of HD voice on my Nexus 5. I notice it when I talk to my wife and I have to turn the volume way down. It's like the treble is set way too high so the "S" sound especially is way overblown. Not sure if this is the same issue or not but I thought my phone was defective until I did more searching. I wish we could turn it off easily.
Hi guys,
I'm having issues with google now. It worked perfectly before. When I ask who bill gates is, the speech outputs works normally. But when I ask to send text message the speech output is too quick. Anyone here also having the same issues?

Anyone have experience using these? Maybe used both and have comparisons? I'm thinking of using one or the other, seems RCB is simpler and to the point, and CM is much more customizable. Also it seems CM can forward a call/text to another number, but maybe I misinterpreted the description.
I am operating on a rooted Nexus 5, with Sprint. Also I have Google Voice integrated with my Sprint number so they are the same. Also use Google's Voicemail system.
Any input would be great!
