I've been running Alpha 3 of CM7 on my touchpad for the past few weeks. All in all I'm a fan and have been using it as my primary OS for the touchpad.
Getting GrooveIP to work would be the coup de grace for me as being able to take and place phone calls on it has been the one thing missing. Running Groove IP I can hear the other side for a second or two and then it just goes quiet. People on the other end say that can't hear anything from me.
Just curious if others have figured out a way around this (or if I've been an idiot). A search wasn't helpful.
No probs here
anything in particular with how you have it setup? are you using echo cancellation?
Figured out how to keep hearing audio from the other end.
Go to Settings --> Troubleshooting --> "Wifi Tablet", and make sure it's checked. Also make sure "Synchronize Voice" is checked.
still working on getting the mic to work
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/7576-call-text-on-touchpad-with-google-voice/
apparently the mic not working is a known issue still.
dj4enzik, were you able to find a fix to this?
Received a reply back from SNRB Labs
The fix would have to come from the CM rom. From the logs I looked at it looked like the audio driver wasn't working properly.
lame
Works fine on mine..Let me check and see how my setting s are and I will post back!!
You can make free calls with Google Voice, and a PBX server. It's really easy to install PBXinaflash on an older computer, or run it in a virtualized environment. Check out this tutorial here. For more reliability you can purchase a DID from voip.ms or Vitelity. For 4 dollars a month you can make as many outbound/inbound calls as you want -- voip.ms only. Vitelity is 4 dollars a month for unlimited inbound. I'm currently using a Vitelity DID for inbound calls, and a GV trunk to make outgoing calls for free. Media5-Phone works really well as a SIP client. I have found that the function built into Android does not work as well as some SIP applications. I really suggest building a PBX server over using a service such as Groove IP.

Anything special to report about your settings? I used the instructions described earlier to get audio working. I also tried changing the microphone setting to "standard mic", but it still isn't working.
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
So far here are the options for VOIP on the YP-G70:
Groove IP + Google Voice- Which is what I've tried so far. Voice quality is kind of poor.
sipdroid or csipsimple + Google Voice + PBXes.com - Apparently this has better voice quality?
Talkatone (Iphone equivalent to Groove IP) currently being ported to Android - Alpha 3
Skype - but I read somewhere you can't use Skype over wifi??? Maybe the person who posted that didn't know what they were talking about???
Any thoughts, opinions, ideas on How to or what software works best would be appreciated.
But what I'm really having a difficult time with is security. Using a wifi phone in a public hotspot has obvious security issues so you need a VPN. But just as important is using Google Voice without a VPN. It's basically the same thing as CarrierIQ - Google is tracking everything you do and also tracking WHERE you log in from. So a VPN is a must. To make matters even more difficult if you do get a VPN you have no idea whether the VPN provider is tracking you or might steal your login info from every site you log into via the VPN.
I've been researching this VPN thing for weeks and still don't have a good solution. So if anyone out there has any advice it would be GREATLY appreciated!!
I use GrooveIP (not much, but works fine). I have secure wifi at home and work, so not concerned about security. Talkatone could be good once fully ported, too many ui issues for me, seems restrictive.
I also use grove ip and found it works pretty well once you get the settings just right. I had to turn up the microphone gain several clicks and checked the echo control option in the debug or trouble shooting menu.
I use csipsimple rather than sipdroid, as I found the former integrates better with the stock rom. Actually, sipdroid doesn't seem to have a dialer and depends on dialer.apk which is just a dud application in stock rom. Pbxes-gv works fine. Voice quality is better than my G2 on Wind. Wifi needs to be on to stay registered. My battery life is several days standby with wifi off, but drops to about 6 hours with it on and about 40 minutes of calls.
With my spa-3102 I have an easy bridge to landline, so you could do it that way instead. This requires pbx server and a decent amount of config to get working, but csipsimple-pbxes-gv is a perfect standalone solution!

Skype works very well on my YP-G70. Since I have subscribed to a Skype online number, I can place/receive calls just like a regular phone.
Going to have to try Skype.
The lag is so bad on Groove IP / Google Voice that I end up talking over the top of the other person all of the time. Plus you can't do MMS on GV. And the GV SMS Android app is pretty limited - shows the data of a text message but not the time. And you can't use Google's video chat - we've got the dual camera's would be nice to use them - or at least try them out.
We'll see if Skype does any better.

You might have a bad internet connection. Google Voice has worked perfectly for me the past few weeks, no lag (once settings for lag were adjusted) and each call is very smooth. Your right about GV having no MMS, which is sad that that doesn't exist. And it shows the date AND time of the texts for me, not too sure why your not able to see that.
And as for the dual cameras... I don't know if you knew this, but from what I've read- The front camera ONLY takes VGA pictures, no video recording possible (so no video chat? I hope I'm wrong).
I've used my GP5 with Skype for video chat, and the girlfriend said the quality was better than my laptop's camera... so I can confirm that the front camera does indeed support video.
The perfect solution if you got a SIP account, is CSipSimple. It's working great whenever you can connect to Wifi. I even used it to call for free when I was abroad.
stock sip for gb
im sure gingerbread supports sip natively its just a matter of copying some files/framework and enabling it from the rom just like in galaxy note with gingerbread of course. the problem seems to be that sgp 5.0 doesnt attract much devs unlike other popular devices im also interested in this feature

It's odd, on my 4.0, the earpiece doesn't work with the latest version of Skype. I cover the proximity sensor and it turns the screen off but continues sending sound through the speakers. I have found if I use several versions older, it works, and if I use a moded version from xda, and enable an option, it works.

Who told you that? I've used it for almost a year on my player. You can't call from within the app, but of course the OP already said that. And the answers here are the same as the other thread (which I answered first). The OP is correct.

I installed Google Voice through the Play store on my YP-G70 and I use it by itself for texting and use it with Talkatone for VOIP calling with no problems at all. I can't figure out how to pair my Bluetooth headset but that is a completely separate issue...

It's most likely your internet connection. GrooveIP mostly lags when an internet connection is slow or not strong, and also call quality depends on that as well. For me I have a very strong connection at home and it never lags and call quality is pretty good. Now at college since wifi is spotty it doesn't lag but call quality is a bit worse.
Remember with Skype to call a mobile/landline number you have to purchase minutes. I bought the $35 a year plan, and it works fine but you still can't text people because it uses your skype credit. Also if you want people to be able to call the player or answer calls through skype you wiill have to buy a "skype number" and that cost an additional $60. I didn't get the number, but I used a workaround. What I did was register for textplus (you can still use a google voice number but still have to have Google Voice installed) and they give you a number for free. Then I went to skype and set my caller id to the textplus/google voice number so that it'll ring the player through textplus/grooveiP and give people a number to call. Problem is you can't pick up using skype and will have to wait to call them back afterwards lol.
To me GrooveIP/ Google voice is the best option for our place. I tried talkatone but the free version's quality is worse than grooveIPs and you have to pay to unlock higher quality. I haven't tried to other one. I hope this helps.

True. But I use the rear camera for skype and it's way better than my laptop webcam haha.
i found this application and bought it just to test it and it works, i send, receive and synchronize sms with/from my phone, also i can make or receive phone calls(if we had a working mic to our touchpad). I am using bluetooth mode but wifi mode is available. but not working for me.

This can be done for free on Webos , How to pair(almost) any phone with TouchPad to send and recv SMS/Calls!!! Like Pre3 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1290274. i have done this myself and it works perfectly.
Also if you install SMS Backup+ on your phone you can link to any Gmail A/C and Automatically backup SMS, MMS and call log entries using a separate label in Gmail / Google Calendar. It is also possible to restore SMS and call log entries back to the phone.
Link https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS56ZWdvZ2dsZXMuc21zc3luYyJd
Hope this is of use.
yes i know that this can be done in webos, i did it there and i was exited to find a way to do it in cm9 too cause its sooo cool feature not only about sms but for handling calls too. So now i have another reason to get anxious for microphone fix
anyway its an easy and unique app that i was looking from the first time a got my tp so i thought to share it.
I am using the Google Play Nexus 5 on T-Mobile US.
I am running CyanogenMOD 11 Snapshot M9 hammerhead
Android 4.4.4
OpenVPN for Android
DD-WRT Router using the OpenVPN server
I currently have a phone and VPN connection as described above. It connects and works great. The issue I am having, and have searched xda and google for the answer, is that when the VPN is connected everything works fine, except MMS. The APN is correct, per T-Mobile's website. I can send and receive MMS without the VPN connected. The moment I connect to the VPN my MMS in and out fail. I have read on Cisco's website that android has something blocking MMS when connected to VPN.
So, my question is: Is there any way to remove this block or reroute only MMS traffic outside of the VPN? I do have Android Firewall installed, so iptables is usable to do this.
No one has anything for this?
Having the same issue here.

Has anyone ever found a solution/workaround for this? I had this problem on my Galaxy S4 on 5.0.1 and now I'm having the same issue on my S7 on Marshmallow. Thanks!

The only "solution" I found, but did not feel it was the true answer, was just a workaround. I noticed that when I am hooked to wifi as well MMS fail to send and to receive. I just have to turn it off and wait for the message than turn it back on. Sucks I know, but it works.

That's a bummer! My biggest problem is receiving messages. I don't get any notification that it's trying to receive a message so I don't even know one is trying to come in.

I do get these messages, but I am using a third party MMS/SMS client (ChompSMS) that tells me when it is trying to receive something.

I may have found a solution but I still need to do more testing. When looking through the settings of some messaging apps I've noticed some give you a "MMS Behavior" option. In Textra it says:
Code:
Try 'System' if legacy MMS isn't work (for example with Project Fi, VPNs, WiFi MMS, etc).
So I set it to System and so far it seems to be working fine while being connected to my VPN. If I change back to "Legacy" or to a different default messaging app without that option it seems like they stop coming through again.
So far I've only tested this with pictures messages and haven't had a chance to try group texts yet. ChompSMS has the option in there but I've only tested it with Textra. I'm using a Galaxy S7 on Verizon so I'm not sure if that affects anything either.
Well, I tested it in ChompSMS, but no luck.

I would bet this is because the MMS server only allows the carrier IP Range. If it's blocking over Wifi as well that would prove that it's not just VPN that is causing it. I would imagine you could receive MMS from anywhere if you have a way of getting your mobile/carrier IP address. (Some sort of proxy(?))
Also found this on another forum:
SuperDave426 said:
I haven't used these in a while, but when I did they both worked over wifi. Textra and 8SMS. See if installing either one helps, if not uninstall.
But beware, if your provider doesn't support MMS over wifi you won't be able to use it, here is the warning from 8sms on MMS settings:
MMS over Wifi
If your cellular network (ie. Sprint) supports mms over wifi, you can enable Settings » MMS Settings » MMS over Wifi.
If your cellular network does not support mms over wifi (or you are not sure), then DO NOT enable MMS over Wifi or mms will stop working.

I believe T-Mobile USA does support MMS over wifi
Sent from my DLROM on Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
I had issues with having my VPN active and not getting SMS/MMS messages while connected. Went looking for an answer and found that there wasn't any one single solution for it so I thought I'd post what worked for me. FWIW I'm on T-Mobile USA with Android 6.0.1.
Within my VPN configuration I went to the 'Allowed Apps' tab and excluded my SMS/MMS programs and processes. Namely I made sure Textra, Messenger, and MmsService were all excluded from the VPN and this resolved my issue. After disconnecting and reconnecting the VPN my text messages are sent and received without issue.
Was a pain in the butt for me as I have tasker setup to bring my VPN to life whenever it's not connected to my home wifi network. Took me a day or two to notice that text messages weren't going anywhere while the VPN was active. Oddly enough being on my home wifi network along with wifi calling being active has never caused an issue with SMS/MMS not working, but having a VPN active did.
I have switched to the Nexus 6P and am running rooted stock 7.1.1 (beta). Still with T-Mobile. I still have issues with MMS on wifi and on VPN, but no issue with SMS. It is strange. Maybe it is time to ask T-Mobile.
