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 <http://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 <http://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
