Is anyone using voip software like nimbuzz or skype ??

well, because it's NOT WORKING
searching on internet i found this

OMG this RUINED the phone for me

You can download the new Skype app in Android Market!

I used skype and never liked it-try this software this worked for me sipvoipsdk.com

Skype works good on the Flipout, the only problem is that it doesn't set the screen orientation correctly.

yeah but did you try a voice call ? worked or you ?

tried skype, fring, nimbuzz none work... always the same problem, other person can't hear me...
Has anyone used any other SIP apps? I've tried linphone and sipdroid to use an SIP account my ISP gave me. With both apps I had problems. I could call fine, but when installed I couldn't receive any SMS, once uninstalled I would receive 10 sms at once...
I'm using handcent SMS btw,
Had anyone else had this problem?

I'm using CSipSimple with total success in Motorola Flipout
The CSipSimple is easy to config, just put the login name, password and sip address
In Brazil i"m using voipalobrasil.com.

it seems SIP works, but i doesn't replace softwares like skype, i want call computers not phones
i'll send a email to motorola

The latest spype works on the Flipout. I tried it today, and the test call records my voice (which didn't happen in previous versions)

It happens with me too. the test call records my voice, but when I try to call someone they can not hear me
Deep

Try holding and resuming the call (on both sides), that worked for me.

Hey AndiDeepBlue
Have you had any problems with receiving sms once CSipSimp was installed? As I have said before, I've been having problems receiving them when I installed either linphone or sipdroid. I could send sms (although it stayed in pending status but they would still receive my msg) and I would receive them once I uninstalled the SIP app, or sometimes just randomly from 5 to 15hrs after the msg was sent to me...

Haven't had a chance to try skype yet, will do that tonight, but I read on the skype forum that another way to make it work is to initiate the call when the keyboard is closed and then open it.
According to tekki
http://forum.skype.com/index.php?showtopic=725723&st=20&
...After some experimenting I found out that it seems to work if you activate your call with closed keyboard and flip out the keyboard afterwards. If the call is originated with open keyboard then the mic does not record anything.

Hm..... weird... tried out CSipSimple, and I'm having the same sms problem... also I noticed whatsapp was bugging as well, received a couple msgs like half hour later...
btw, I'm using handcent for sms.
Once I uninstalled, it would come back to normal...
Are you using any of these 2?
anyone else having this problem??

I did not use Handcent for sms.

I installed Skype from the Market. And I plugged the headset. Usually I have to play with the flipout to open and close, and also when activating/deactivating the "loud speaker" it will enable the microphone on headset/mic. This happened when I made a call to a fixed phone.

Yeah, Skype is great for casual social interactions with family and friends. But for business conferences, I need more security, so I use RHUB, which works from behind my firewall (instead of outside of it). It also provides free audio conferencing.

Google voice....biggest let down!!!!

i am hurting so badly right now at the concept of not being able to get google voice on this.
UNBELIEVABLE..this is just horrible. And i trully believe they wont make a native app for it..like a tablet version as verizon has said this is not capable of text messages.
UPDATE: EVERYONE i created a official google forum request for this amazing app to be used. PLEASE JOIN and voice you opinion on it being needed, WE WILL GET AN ANSWER!!!
thread with google forum is here! Cheers!

Set the texts to go to email. You can respond via email as well.

I still cannot convert completely to Google Voice as you cannot get picture messages.
Yea you can get your texts, but where do your friends send you a pic to?

I know it sucks but for now have them send MMS to email.

picture mms
heres the thing, i ported my number, saved a boat load of money, managed to have all my friends send me pictures through gmail. its more conveneint anyways.
all in all google voice is amanzing and i heavily use it, if you read up on all it can do (and ..its ALOT)
i refuse to believe this is happening and google cant utilize its tablet market..it would be suuuuch a win. also i do believe mms will happen eventually as this is the last year that their service is considered...free...so hmmm
jesus i need a xoom google voice app, and a crack rock

Have you tried side loading the Google voice app? If so does it just FC when you try to open it?

Yes and yes. No worky.

i tried going off my app purchas history doesnt work

You could always do the e-mail thing, and create a new gmail specifically for the texts. IE. [email protected] or w/e, then you can have pictures sent there, and you can use the gmail widget basically as a text app, since you're e-mailing you're texts back you should be able to send mms right through the e-mail, then you really don't have to worry about having a voice app, and got a cool widget for your texts.
I might do that now that i think about it.
I am mad about the lack of Xoom support also, but where theirs a will, there is a way.

raddude, smart move but i dont think i have the stomach for another email addy. im so in tune with texting via computer off my google voice and how smooth it is from there to my nexus. i want to say i believe in google and see some how..some way..a jump over verizon's limitations on this but i dont know

Your world sure comes crashing down around you a lot. You should get some medication.

hahahahah i know i love going all bi polar when something doesnt go my way, helps gain views/responses...would be wierd if i was like google voice/whatever
haha

Ok, so I'm a little confused by this post. Is there some indication out that there there will NEVER be a google voice app for tablets/xoom? If so, where is the documentation supporting this?
I assume (and maybe incorrectly) that a google voice app on the xoom is just a matter of time (like flash and enabling the SD slot), not any direct statement made by google.
Does anyone have any concrete information of either scenario?

I don't believe so. I think people are just "OMG PANIC!" because not everything is exactly how they want it on a release day.
Patience truly is a virtue.

Just to add idle speculation into the fire, i am almost positive that we will get the iPad treatment vis a vis Google Voice. Meaning they need to get a version of the app going for android that does not integrate with a dialer.
I would love to have a voip option or something, but VZ and all US Carriers do not want us to use our devices as phones, they want us to have 2 lines with them! Galaxy Tab, which in the rest of the world is effectively a giant Galaxy S with dialer, etc, on all US carriers has had its calling disabled (of course since its froyo it was easy for at least the tmo ones to get the feature back).
This is not a Google issue, but rather one of the carriers not wanting us to not pay them for our minutes.

I think some folks might also be getting confused with the following Verizon statements quoting Verizon as saying the receiving or sending of SMS or MMS won't be supported by Verizon on this device.
I just interpret that as meaning that Verizon will not let the device natively receive and send SMS/MMS like a regular cell phone or provide phone apps to do this. Because GV does SMS/MMS via data and not through the normal SMS/MMS mechanism I would assume that Verizon's statement doesn't exclude the potential for GV on the device at all...

Except Skype works on 3g and Wifi on the xoom

Calls & Text Messaging WORKS

I just got my A500 yesterday and spent all night and day trying to figure out if it was possible to make phone calls, receive phone calls, send and receive text messages. Finally found the solution and it works great. Its a given that you will need to be on Wifi or 3G (tethering or Portable WLAN). Using a FREE app called Viber allows you to make FREE calls and text messages over Wifi and 3G/4G to other Viber users (Android and iOS), what sets this app apart from others is that it maintains your phone #, no need for a new #, pin or username. Only problem is that upon setup the app requires to send you a text message to verify your phone number to setup your account, which is NOT possible on the Acer. I found a simple work around this to problem, so here we go!
What you need:
1. Rooted phone (Android of course)
2. Viber App, its FREE (attached) (Phone ONLY)
3. Rooted Acer
4. Titanium Backup (Installed on both devices)
Instructions:
1. Install Viber on your phone and set up your account, very simple and fast.
2. After installation and confirmation (important: I would make a call or send a few text messages to make sure it's working),
3. Open Titanium Backup and make a back up of Viber
4. Transfer the back up of Titanium Backup to your Acer, make sue you place it the correct folder: sdcard/TitaniumBackup (or where ever you store your Titaniun Backups on your Acer).
5. Open Titanium Backup on your Acer and Restore the Viber app with data
That's it you can now make calls and text messages using Viber, the voice quality is awesome and the speaker is loud and clear!
Hopes this helps, it did for me
You can send invites to your contacts within the Viber app, once someone installs and setups Viber you will receive a pop up notice.
***Do NOT run Viber on both devices at the same time, it may cause FC and routing calls/text messages to the wrong device, simply shut down Viber (More>>Exit) on the device you are not using***

how can you do it?

Decent find on making an app work. Question, what's wrong with Skype or gtalk?

I still want an app that enables an android phone tether with the acer iconia via bluetooth,usb or wifi and you are able to text and call people on your tablet.

As for me... I have 16 family/friends on gtalk (only 4 sign on & more than half the time they never notice I sent them a message, "I didnt know") or they are NEVER signed on, either they dont know how to sign on or dont use it at all. Skype, I have 0 family/friends that use it and I not to crazy about it... I just like the simplicity of Viber and ease of use, when you get a text message a pop up appears (like HancentSMS) and you can reply right from there.
I guess what it comes down to is personal preference

would this conflict with google voice?

No not at all, thats the beauty of this app, it does NOT use your google voice number. It uses your actual cell number
I've been using Viber on my phone along with google voice and when people call or text me using Viber it does not effect google voice at all.

Awesome! Works great only downside I found is it will auto rout to the tab unless you turn it off when trying to call to the phone!
But that is minor compared to the awesomeness of the text and calling.! I love how I do not have to leave the app im in to reply.
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for this tip. I just got it on my tab and placed a call and its great. The odd force close, but otherwise great

Yeah, you really shouldnt have both Viber services running on both devices... Turn one off when using another (guess I should add that to the OP)
The pop up is awesome, dont need to leave your current app to reply

The FC happens here and there, mostly when running Viber on both devices, close one before starting the other and you should be good to go!

The difference is that this app runs in the background, your friends and family DONT need to log in, when you call from Viber the phone rings right away, just like your stock phone app does (its just purple). When you text someone a pop up appears on the screen... see attachements
(Yes I have a friend that's a d!ck head and a brother I call Monster)

perhaps a silly question, but it wasnt specified... does the phone need to be pluggd into the tab for this to work? r once its set up it will function as long as there is wifi?
from Sams inFuse... inFused GB

No it does not ... You can leave the phone at home, car or wherever. As long as you have some sort of data connection, whether it be wifi or tethered 3g/4g

New to tablets......can you text?

Just picked up my gtab last night. Loving it, ive had 2 samsung phones and had them rooted and rommed. For now this is doing the trick. stil trying to figure things out.
Can you text on the tab? I have the wifi verson only.
Thanks

Assuming you are in the US you can use Google Voice. I use this as my main number on my DroidX and the app on my Galaxy tab. There are other texting apps like text free but I am not sure of tablet support.

I've tried Jaxstr to send SMS from a wifi tab but no luck

I have the wifi only version and use google voice for texting.

i also use Text+ which now also supports voice calls

1+ to TextPlus. Its worth trying out and it works on adroid and ios. They give your own number and I beleive unlimited txting. The calls you need to pay for though.

I got the Wifi + 3G and I can text to other phone numbers.

I use Textab on my DX and 10.1. Works pretty well, but after awhile my DX really starts to lag while using the Textab app.
Need to finish setting up my google voice.

If you use Exchange, you can also SMS via the e-mail client. Also, if you're with AT&T they have a unified messaging app in the Market that allows you to send and receive texts on your tablet over Wi-Fi.

Google voice for text.. grooveIP for talking over wifi..
galactic FORCE!

I use Heywire. You can add in your facebook and twitter stuff in there.

just got my SGTab today and found one called mysms. works pretty well, very similar to desksms. you need to install the app on your phone too, and it's all free

On my 3g Tab you can use Messaging built in without any messing round, assuming your SIM is enabled for it.

3G ones have sms by default as it were on the s2

This is what I do also, especially useful when you find yourself inside buildings with wifi but no wireless.

you can also use whatsapp

Tablet Talk is pretty cool for using your phone over wifi/bluetooth also.

If you have an android phone you could use desksms. It's made by Clockworkmod. You set it up on the phone and with a yearly charge it lets you text, from your number, using gtalk or gmail on tablet or in browser. Been using it since it was released. It's great.

Canadians: Using Rogers One Number on the N1?

hey everyone
As Canadians may have heard, a carrier finally did something nice for us, Rogers released their One Number service, sort of a poor man's Google Voice, which is great for Canadians as we can't yet access Google Voice.
You get txting/calling from your browser, you can ring multiple phones, etc.
Any experiences of using it so far?
https://www.rogersonenumber.ca
So far it seems OK, however the equivalent Android app doesn't seem to work on the N1. Anybody have luck with this?
I'm running CM7, and when I open the site to get the Android app the Rogers site says
Your phone currently does not suppor tthe Rogers One Number mobile apps. You can continue to use the service from your computer at www.rogersonenumber.ca
Click to expand...

Cheers,
allan

Bump? Any Canadians Rogers customers out there?

have you tried changing your user agent?

i have been running this on my samsung captivate.
the app is annoying as it gives constant birthday notifications for all contacts from email, social networks and phone. even after clearing the notification it comes back. a bug im sure will be fixed someday.
the pc app is not bad.. allows you to send receive calls on pc, though it operates through a web portal using web browser. though not needing web page open to receive calls because of try app doenst make it horrible.
even though the app runs on my phone, i am unable to transfer calls from pc to phone as is supposed to do. but does ring my main phone number on both my phone #s (and pc) at same time! *as long as pc client is running, as it uses client to ring all other numbers.
this is super handy when i forget my phone at home but have my 3g enabled netbook in my truck. i am still able to get calls, texts, and contact info wirelessly!
DISCLAIMER!! - using rogers one number on a mobile PC/laptop will give INCORRECT 911 location info unless you are at home or the address you register for one number service!

APK files
Could someone please post the apk files? Thx
I get the same msg from Rogers, but I think it's wrong.
However, it won't let me access the files for it.
So plz post them...thank you

I run CM7 on my N1 and everything seemed to work fine for me. I installed the app so that I could sync my contacts, but then uninstalled it as I didn't see the point of having it on my phone.
I can now use a computer to text and call... but I never really do.

Similar here, uninstalled the onenumber app on phone after sync.
Only tried to transfer call from phone to PC and it works seamlessly (essentially PC client is taking over the call)
Never tried to send a call from PC to phone, or ring multiple numbers of sorts.
Free call from PC using my number is the best use for me (and I think the whole purpose of this service for Rogers is customer retention & offload traffic to the internet) but I am still exploring.
On the side note... I dream the day IP calling will become mainstream and appropriately priced, for better use of the spectrum, etc. (See the article on the Verge "Phoning it in: the dirty secret of IP calling, and how it will change the phone industry")

i was having the same error as op when the One number first came out

APK would be nice if someone has time to post it.
The OSX app is good, I use it to find out about incoming texts. However, if I send out a text via the Rogers One OSX app then my phone does not show it in the "Sent" area.
For those with the Android app running, does sending from your computer get synced up with your phone?

Nope, doesn't sync back to my phone for me.
