Any Way to make GrooveIP work on this tablet???
I would like to use some type of voip with this device. I need to be able to make calls if possible. Are there any hacks for this?
Sent from my HTC EVO View 4G Honeycomb Tablet, runing on the Now Network, (or my AT&T Home Router, lol).
It's working in Gingerbread
One of the first things I did, before HoneyComb OTA came out, was load my Google Voice app, from the market.
Then I loaded and opened Groove IP. I set it up to match up with my GV acct. and also set it up to load at device bootup.
The last thing was to go to my GV acct. via a browser and check the box to forward incoming calls to Google Chat.
Now I have incoming and outgoing call capability(when in a wifi connection).
I either use a headset or hold my ear to the bottom speaker(back of unit).
i didn't have any problems installing it. Works perfect synched up with GV
Groove IP has always worked perfectly for me on the Flyer, both GB and now HC Roms.
My View just says "Please try again." Then I get three beeps. Then the call discontinues.
What do I do?
Do you have Google voice installed? That is required

Right now, I am unable to make outgoing calls from my Archos 43 running UrukDroid 1.0 (I've tested using stock firmware 2.3.26) and I don't understand how I'm supposed to make calls by routing my call through google voice if I have no dialer. My setup looks like this: PBXes provides SIP -> use IPKall for a free washington state number -> use to validate google voice with a softphone (I used 3CXPhone). The only successful way I've been able to make calls was using 'connect with phone' on the google voice site, which called my sip number -> address and I was able to receive the call using Sipdroid base. I'm not going to have desktop access to google voice all the time though, so I tried CSipSimple as well, which just hangs up right away (Sipdroid hangs up instantly when you try sending the call) The weird thing is, it shows that Sipdroid is dialing [email protected] rather than the actual number, which makes sense to me because it's an SIP dialer/client. Now, I want my calls to be routed through google voice, not sent to my SIP provider. What is the easiest way to do this? Thank you!
Edited:
Setting up a trunk and outbound route in PBXes or using SIPSorcery (it doesn't actually provide SIP) just plays some really weird opera music on every outgoing call.
I used fring for sip and that was working ok.
comes with its own dailer and you can use the normal contacts.
While looking through the Astro file manager app, I came across the "Show process" feature under the Told menu. The first process to my surprise was a Phone app. Opening the app, it allows you to add SIP accounts for IP calling. I don't have a SIP account, but maybe it's time to figure out if there is a generic Internet service. I know T-Mobile has wi-fi calling, but I don't think those servers are publicly available.
Still not sure if there is a dialer or if your dependent on the app... If lucky it could be associated with contacts.
Not sure if this is going to differ much from a Skype number... If direct dial through contacts is possible, that would be interesting.
Sorry if this has been covered. I've been away and this was an interesting revelation to me.
Sounds interesting. I am still looking for a possibility to do phone calls with the device. Everything I tried using dialers or apk's from different devices failed. Is there actually a radio rom inside the flyer?
I didn't have the 3G version but is it not possible to receive and send SMS? Therefore you need also the phone api. And selfs if not so for I know handle this app also the data connections for a 3G connection.

Yes because we have also WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G, GPS,... but maybe it is possible one day to make calls. The Quesition is here if the Flyer have the hardware and not the software.
This was definitely interesting. So far I've been able to get the device to make and receive phone calls using Sipgate as my SIP provider, Sipdroid as the SIP client, and Google Voice as a forwarder. So it's definitely possible to use the Flyer as a phone using third-party software.
When I try using the same setup with this native phone app, however, the Flyer just instantly gets a "missed" call" notification. There's also no way to make any outgoing calls yet using this native app as far as I know. Anybody else have any luck?
I played with this for an hour or so with some public SIP gateways, but didn't have much luck. The contacts app doesn't seem to link directly with the phone app so a dialer app would still be required.
The best integration (with contacts) is GrooveIP which was suggested onthe forum earlier.
i have the rom
i have the rom
PHONE APP is possible according to this thread !!! ( I saw the video it really works)
But you need a S-OFF Flyer ofcourse
Hey all, I've been following all the postings about making calls via wifi and data networks to save on minutes as well as just to use wifi connections instead,. I got sipdroid and googlevoice setup as well as google voice callback,.. got the options set right in everything and it's partially working,.. what I'm finding is my voice to others is coming across very very very quiet and when I hear them it's very very very lagged and broken up. Can anyone assist with how to tweak the settings so my voice is not so quiet and the person on the other end isn't so broken up and lagged? I'll hear the person's voice with significant lag and so broken up I can't tell what they are saying. Thanks in advance for your time!!

just use groove ip, I used to try and use SIP along with google voice, but it didn't work very well if at all. Groove ip is worth the money as it works really well and works along with your google voice account. I bought it in the amazon appstore for $3 instead of 5 and use it on my thunderbolt (to save minutes), transformer, and old moto droid. It even allows you to make calls over 3g/4g if you want, check it out.
I have the rezound, as well as a Kindle Fire, and I installed Google Voice on them. I read through other threads, and no luck with my problem.
I have used Google Voice on my computer to call and text people, and with my upcoming trip to europe, it would be nice to use that to call people back home.
Problem, I have it installed on two devices, yet on both it doesn't give me the option to call, or even compose any sort of message at all. Any ideas on what I can do? The only options I get are refresh, settings, and search.
For me, when I'm in my inbox (or any other folder) I have a compose button on the bottom left. For calls, can you go into settings, Making calls, and change it to ask for all calls? Then use your dialer to place a call and it should prompt you.

click settings. the second option in the settings menu controls the ability to make calls via google voice. it is however done by dialing a forwarding service and therefore uses your minutes. it is not voip.

I pretty much use Google Voice as my primary mode of voice calling. You don't make a call through the app. Simply go to settings, and tell it to either use GV for every call, or ask it to prompt you at every call whether to call from your phone or to call from GV. Then when you simply dial as normal through the dialer app, it will either just use GV if you told it to, or ask you which to use.
BTW, All GV calling functionality is disabled on wifi tablets. I honestly have no experience with 3G/4G tablets, but on my Wifi Transformers I have to install a SIP client on the tablet and route GV calls to another VOIP service I use.

I'm a bit confused. I thought the only Google Voice calling solution was GrooveIP if you want to send and receive calls properly for your Google Voice phone number. GrooveIP does not use your minutes and is definitely VOIP.
On every device I tried it on, there is a bit of delay with GrooveIP, but the quality is good (good internet connection required, whether its 4G or strong 3G or WiFi.)
Can you please elaborate a bit? Are you just using Google Voice app, but its using your minutes?

When you use the google voice app, it dials into the google voice services which then forwards the call to the number you dialed. You get charged for the minutes during the call as a result. This also breaks free mobile to mobile calling.
GrooveIP is a 3rd party app that lets you connect to GV via VOIP so you don't have that forwarding call.
Use sipdroid with pbxs function. Tie it to Google voice, download Google voice callback, and presto. Have it on an old evo for my 8 year old daughter. She loves texting with Google voice. Makes her feel like a teenager. There is sometimes a slight echo, but completely usable.

This is exactly how I made voice calling possible with my GV number on my wifi tablet.
Hi,
I had Groove IP before on my HTC Inspire just fine. I just moved to HTC Amaze and tried to set it up, and I'm encountering a weird situation. The calls get forwarded to my phone fine, but when I answer it, it looks like I'm answering it through my phone, not groove IP (the interface is that of the phone's, which wasn't the case when I had it working on HTC Inspire). Also, to test it, I put the airplane mode on with only WiFi enabled. Well, calls didn't get forwarded to my phone. I was able to make out-going calls however. So, apparently, something's wrong. I have it set to forward calls to google chat fine. I'm confused why it's not working. Can someone please help me with this? Thank you.

Most call based apps forward and use your regular phone number, despite being forwarded/using their voip services, like google voice, I use that to call canada, it sends and receives calls through my regular phone but nada charges to my plan.
I appreciate your taking time to respond, but what you say is not the case. With groove ip, we can make and receive calls with airplane mode + only wifi enabled. I figured out what the problem was though. I just had to find a different phone to register under my GV account, delete my cell # and google chat from it, then re-add them from fresh. The reason I had to find a new # is because GV doesn't let you delete a number if you don't have at least one other phone registered. It's all working now
