Will GrooveIP work?

I'll have to look into those ones, I installed Tango video calling, and I can see the other callers video, but no mic or video on my end. I wasn't expecting it to work, and I'm ok with it not working just yet, hopefully it will get fixed when full release comes. Other than that, this thing rocks!

I used Groove IP to call my self, I could hear my first word, then it went dead. Def has potential in coming CM updates.
Same thing here
Gtalk with video - video works but no sound from to
Skyupe video - neither video nor audio work (audio seem to start OK)
Sipdroid setup with Google voice - calls go thru but no sound from tp

I used grooveIP with google voice disabling the 3g/4g option and also enabling google chat under GV settings. I was able to make a call but the sound was either delayed or not there. I can see this working with updated versions of CM. I can also receive calls but same sound issues.
I've tried sipdroid Cm7 but audio doesn't work.. Hopefully cm9 will be a different story.

I've been using the Skype app modified to work on 3g with my Nexus for a while now, messages and voice both work fine for it. But when trying it on my Mytouch 4g, it can't log me in. Is anyone able to log in with Skype? And are there any decent Skype alternatives?
I tried Skype but it would only let me make video calls over wifi. Not 4g. I use Tango as my alternative most of my friends have it so it works out.

You can not make any video calls using skype on anyphone other than N900. so how come you are able to make them on MT4G
skype for MT4G will work over WIFI and 3G
This version of skype will work with any android phone over wifi and 3g, there is just one flaw, make sure you call the other person on skype as receiving calls on 3g would be charged by skype

I am curious as well. In the N900 you have options to call with ot without video. I have not seen that in any Android version of Skype. BTW, I think i heard someone mentioning that the thing from the fruit company has now a version of Skype that does video.
I don't understand why is taking Skype so long to release a video call version for other OSes. My N900 is over a year old and the video works quite well even when it is not WiFi.
I use skype everyday for (skype>skype) (skype>phone) and (phone>skype) and have no issue on wifi or data. Which version are you currently running that your having this problem on?
downloading now!
Noticed the skype app runs ok, but doesn't like the microphone input, sounds overdriven and noisy, unusable. I have all EQ and noise reduction setting off.
This was in a quiet environment.
Hope its just a minor tweak needed, the test call receive audio was excellent.
I observed this too.
Mine too. Hope someone reports this so they will fix it.

Skype Devs... help!
Skype is unusable for me as well due to this.
Skype is absolutely not usable for me. Other party only hears noise and nothing else. Waiting for a fix ASAP coz this is one of the main features I been looking for.
Does anyone know if there are plans to fix Skype on the atrix? This is a pretty major screw up on their part...
Has anyone tried Skype with the second microphone disabled?
I just got off the phone with Motorola tech support and their answer is that they don't support Skype and suggested using Qik instead. Doesn't seem like they plan on making any fixes for it as of now.

In settings / call settings / noise suppression.

Does not help.
In fact ALL VOIP apps i tried simply do not work.
Motorola really messed this up. i tried cSipsimple, spidroid, fring, tango, Skype, line2....nothing works like it should.
Has anyone tried using a microphone through the headphone jack? This way we can find out where the error is.
have downloaded skype, pretty dumb that i am unable to make calls over hspa+, whenever i try to make a call it states:
"IN THE UNITED STATES, YOU CAN ONLY MAKE SKYPE CALLS OVER WIFI" anyway to remove this?
Did not experience any of the background noise yet, the device is fairly new, trying to find out info myself to help others out, will follow up on any info i find out.
Re: Skype audio distorted on Atrix
I have tried with the NR turned off which should stop the second mic. No difference. Interestingly the Audio Tool app has an oscilloscope that shows seriously overdriven input- noise and clipping. Mirrors what I hear in test calls to my voice mail via Skype. If Qik works,but Skype does not, it must be how the app is accessing the inputs.
no update on this post in several days. do we know of any more updates? i am assuming Skype is fixing something and will come out with an update soon?
any time frame of this update?

It is not a skype problem. it is a Motorola software problem as all VOIP apps on the market simply don't work on the Atrix.
Any application that is trying to access the sound drivers is having issues on this phone.

i guess i stand corrected. thank you for pointing this out to me.
is there an update in the future that we could be expecting?
This drives me nuts. I need skype so bad.
Not just Skype, Basically ALL VOIP apps aren't working because of how Motorola changed the api for the mic. Qik is the ONLY one that works.
Motorola acknowledge the problem and Motorola has to fix this ASAP!

I used Grove IP and download it on the marketplace and used my google voice account to log in. Now you can make and received call from your flyer as long as you have a wifi connection.
Just wanted to share something to the community.
can you then pair a bluetooth headset?

Yes that did work. Now is there a way to receive calls from a cellphone calling you from Grove IP?
I use my Skype account and it also works well.
I know there are ROMs that enable the Bluetooth functionality, but is there a flashable zip to do the same thing for those of us who'd rather stay with the stock ROM?
Be sure to change your settings in Google voice. Don't have it forward to any number have it forward to Google talk or email that way if anyone calls your Google voice number it rungs your tablet with grooveip. Wired headsets are confirmed working. I used the standard htc headset with the inline mic that came with every android htc phone I purchased and the work perfectly for you hearing the caller and the caller hearing you.
Thankyou I was having trouble getting it to receive calls.

No, you have to root, but you can keep the stock ROM , just rooted. Just to be clear bluetooth works on totally stock, but not bluetooth headset. There is a small mod to one text file you do once rooted that enables headset profile for bluetooth
Just want to know if it uses the sim or google server to call?

Doesn't need a SIM if you have wifi its a VOIP

I tried with GrooveIP but no luck.
No luck with Csipsimple or Sipdroid. I figured one of these would be the first to get mic/headphone support.
I have tried Skype but when the person who im calling answersthe call it force closes, havent tried any other app.

the only thing the mic can be used for right now is the built in nook functions and voice search. i don't think we will be able to use the mic for anything else until we can get a custom rom on it
I do all the time, download groove ip from the market, it links to your google voice account

I agree with you, though i will give obion a try too, i already have an android smartphone for voip calls but it would be awesome if we could have it in the nook, in fact is one of the reasons i bought the NT and not the NC. It is definitely a must have feature, at list for me .

No, it's surely can be used in any app. Because it's working in Hi-Q MP3 Rec (Lite), for instance. BTW, the sound quality is very good.

I can confirm that as well, I downloaded "Voice Recorder" from the market to record notes, and it works. What gives? if some random app can get access to the microphone, why can't the VoIP apps do it?
I'm trying to figure out how to make a call somehow as well.
Has there been anything new on this front yet - just bought and rooted a NT and would love to make calls with it
I used skype on mine and it worked well.
The closest I have gotten is with Skype or grooveip.
Skype FCs when the party being called answers. Each version I've tried has acted a little differently so I am still hopeful that an update will work some day. With the proliferation of tablets I know they are working on it though not necessarily for the NT.
Everything about grooveip seems to work but the microphone doesn't seem to be recognized and the speaker does not work. The speaker plays the ringing sound while trying to connect (and the volume is adjustable) but upon answer it does not play and the volume function is Xed out just as it would be when you are muted at the lowest setting. Volume buttons do not respond. Other than that there is definitely a telephony link between the NT and the phone being called. This is version 1.1.8 I'm trying.

Would you mind sharing? I am quite interested in getting Skype to work. No success as yet.
Here's a basic (possibly stupid) question. Is the NT headset jack a mic/earphone jack or just a headset jack? I couldn't tell from any of the teardowns.
im not sure but it could be a lib/s missing or existing one that need to be modified, ill try to look into it ask some devs i know and report back
I downloaded textplus and it is SO ClOSE to working! I can use it to sms and I can receive calls and make calls. The person on the other end can hear me BUT I cent hear them!
Also there is twin thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363215&page=10
and one interesting comment
I also have success with iPhone mic + talk-a-play. I note /etc/astound.conf shows both mic channels ON. Could this be part of the problem? Linux Alsa doesn't work with Skype unless you turn one channel off because the 2 channels cancel each other out. Someone who really knows Alsa needs to have a good look at this file. I don't really understand it, but it definitely gives a description for a mic.

I'm playing with asound.conf now, and it seems to be the right place to look. I managed to break HI-Q recorder from working, make 'fring test call' be heard (not me), and even make device stuck from full boot (removing asound.conf from adb shell saved me) =)
Hi, I am trying to get this to work for the Nook Tablet, anyone have any suggestions?
The app works but it doesn't use the mic, so when I call people they cannot hear me.

Suggest messaging the app develop to support nook tablet.
I couldn't find any similar app that works...
I don't know which ones I tried offhand... 5-10... none of them worked. Most often the mic didn't work
I tried another app that did use the mic (some voice changer) and it worked with the mic. Just FYI.
I also tried a couple google voice vop apps including gvoice and grooveip with the the same results--no outgoing voice via mic. It seems the mic is not captured by the app, maybe its protected by the proprietary kernel idk. It works with voice recorder and i can blow out the flame on candle, but thats about it. Voice via mic also registers on a db meter app. I guess voip is "locked out" right??
Update after installing CM7 via CW backup. Grooveip is the same--no outgoing voice, but speaker works fine for incoming voice. However, it's the opposite for the other phone apps. On the native phone app provided with CM7 and on gVoice the mic works great, but alas no incoming sound via headphones nor speakers. Also, voice search and voice dial work pretty good, although there is room for improvement on the voice recognition for the dialer.
ps Good job on the CM7 port--its amazing--many thanks!
Has the fix for the mic problem been found yet? And if so what is it??
Google voice search works with the mic now w CM7~! So does gVoice (and also native CM7 phone app), but arrrrg without speakers. I have no idea why the mic won't work with grooveIP, and instead the speakers work. weird how the results are opposite for these voip apps. its soooo close to working I can taste it...
Is there anyone else trying to get this to work? GrooveIP works except for the mic. when I try it. I think it has to do with the mic Device settings.
if gVoice works with mic (but no speaker audio), and in contrast GrooveIP doesn't work with mic (but has speaker audio), its only a matter of getting either app developer to take a look at their app with CM7. just a matter of time.
FYI...I'm running the latest CM9 nightly(20120527) and grooveip seems to be working with both a wired headset and also just using the built in MIC...
Same experience here.
I have a Nook Tablet 16GB custom rom - using Liquid Smooth v2.4 official.
Groove-IP wont even sign in.
even tho on a stock unactivated SGS3 on the same network works like a charm.
After a few minutes it reports no valid network available....
You have to set it up on your PC first.
Won't let me use my mobile number, so I guess I won't be using it on my Nook16, running Android 4.3.
I've had no problems with mic or speakers using GrooVeIP. I've been using Android 4.1.2 20121208 succulent acclaim rom 10.1 running from bootable SD card.
