Has anyone got nimbuzz working for the i9000? When I make a call to another person over skype they can hear me clearly but I can never hear the other person anyone else got this problem? I hope theres a fix out there cos its a shame that such a powerful device doesn't even have voip my friends old black and white nokia haas voice calling and he's slating my awesome phone lol how its that possible that an old beat up nokia can voice chat but I can't? What about the old skype.jar file? Can that work using j2me runner?
Please help!

install fringe
it works
it can do video calls too
and also does MSN, ICQ, Yahoo, AOL, SIP (whatever that is)
after installing fringe i removed Google Talk, MSN, and Yahoo chat from my phone, since that single app can do it all
But lemmie guess, with fringe, does it use the speaker only?
Because I use sipdroid, but since it uses the loudspeaker, there is lots of echo. On the i7500, they apparently used another kernel to fix these issues.
I can't use fring because its blocked in the uae if I could I'd run to use it lol could someone tell me why nimbuzz isn't working? That's my only option now cos talkonaut is ****e

Fring support seems to be working hard on the Galaxy S audio and video issue.
Is there no one who has used nimbuzz successfully here?

I recall it working fine the last time I had it installed. Don't have it anymore as I reflashed my phone and trying to cut down on apps I don't use.
people say they can hear me but i cant hear them i cant imagine what the problem is
Fring doesn't support Skype video calling anymore... what does it use for video calling? Just its own protocols?
Also, it's annoying because you cannot set the notifications in Fring - it's the same annoying vibration!

I tried nimbuzz to msn , and it worked fine on a Galaxy S
Fring doesnt support Skype anymore at all.. no? not just video calls..
Fring is working fine here, doesnt support skype anymore for now but evrybody have msn right?
Sipdroid supports video calls but I didnt try it yet so I dont know how it works.
If you are interested just in sip calling, I just found a very nice app
light and with a very good call quality and no configuration needed, just sip settings : mobileVOIP
Well you do need an account with a supported voip provider
I'll try this when I get home thanks although I need skype to work msn would still be good

Anyone any advise on the best skype, voip, sip apps ??
Thanks
If you need to make skype-to-skype calls then Fring and Nimbuzz. If you just need to make paid calls, Skype Lite should do.
Best sip app is sipdroid.
what's sip?
It's one of VoIP protocols: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_Initiation_Protocol
I have to say that I used fring the other day to do a skype to skype call over wifi, and the quality was bad - delayed audio, crackling, general low audio quality. My partner has the skype client for iPhone, and her call quality is, to be honest, amazing. It sounds better than calling on mobiles (when calling over wifi).
I hope this is not common and I would love for someone to tell me if Nimbuzz has good call quality over wifi.

I had the same experience with fring over wifi. No point in even trying 3G.
Why don't you just go ahead and test nimbuzz yourself?
nimbuzz has better sound quality than Fring. Do not know about the comparison to iphone skype app.
What is this Skype Lite?
Is this the one for Verizon Wireless?
http://www.skype.com/download/skype/android/
But this one is useless to me because it cannot be used with WiFi ...
And it is only for Verizon
I just dont get this, why Skype does not make generic full native client for Android?
Google does not allow it?
Skype does not know how to code?
Patents?

I really can't believe we can't get an official skype app for android.......
I think most mobile networks do not want people making calls over Skype because it goes over VoIP the voice network - So your network would lose out on charging you.
However, I just found out you can install Skype Lite beta on the HTC Desire and it makes calls/IM's. If you look on google for "Android Freeware - Skype Lite Beta" you should find it.
Does it work via Wi-Fi?

The chat/skype>skype feature works via the 3g/data/WiFi however landline calls goes via your phone's voice network (charging your network minutes).

I think Verizon Wireless has some sort of exclusivity on the Skype app.
http://www.skype.com/intl/en-us/get-skype/on-your-mobile/skype-mobile/android/
Skype exists, but right now, it's limited to Verizon in the US.
(Also, the program is called Fring. How many times can you misspell the word "Fring" in one thread??)
Fring or Fringe that is not the point.
As long it does not allow us to make skype calls i realy do not care how you spell it
Fring or Fringe cause it is useless to me.
Alright guys, i gues i can forget skype fo rnow.. but is there any other software like skype where i can buy credits and make voip call sover wifi and 3g???
http://www.truphone.com/applications/devices/android/ it seems it is what you are looking for... i think, you can find it in the market
i searched the market for voip apps and a i got quite a few
so you should look an see if there is any that is good for you
I always use Nimbuzz to make free calls via skype. Lite version of Skype does not give call function. It is just that other person has to login to skype, as I am not not using any credit....
Are u still using nimbuzz, last time i checked nimbizz didnt offered skype out calls on android.

Thanx alot bro but this is too expensive i have US and Canada for 2.99 mth unlimited.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I think it was the other way around, it was Skype's decision to remove there service from Fring cuz thery're not profiting from them and Fring is gaining more recognition over the Android platform. I am a long time user of Skype and I pay $13.99 a month for the Unlimited World plan just to call my gf in Thailand. It is sad to know that they removed their service from Fring but this can also mean that they're developing an app of their own that could make VoIP calling over Android possible?

I know it's nitpicking but man am I getting tired of people calling Fring > Fringe.
Yes - It does matter because it's called Fring.

just though of something, can we use google voice on the tab by forwarding all the calls from our cell phone and be able to receive/make calls that way? what do you guys think?.
And how do you plan on doing this without actually having ever phone functionality? It obviously will work, getting google voice working on the tab. The real problem is getting the phone functionality, well......functional!

hmm i guess you are right and if we have the phone functionality working then there would be no need for google voice....
U cant. theres no dialer app, so theres no option to dial out using GV
Ive never tried GV on android. But im assuming thats how it works (that it integrate into built in dialer) from what ive read

You can't receive standard voice calls, but you can set Google Voice to call you on a VoIP line. E.g. I have a Gizmo5 account and use that with CSipSimple to redirect phone calls to.
I found the voice quality over Wifi with headphones to be excellent ;-)

Hi,
I'm very satisfied with my nexus 4 exept one thing: When I use the integrated VOIP / SIP function, I have a very poor audio quality with echos on both sites. However Skye is working fine (on speaker).
Does anybody know about this problem and how to fix it? With my other phone (Defy with CyanogenMod 10, thx quarx) it is working perfectly fine.
thx

Google hasn't bothered to develop the native SIP client so it's very crude and realistically unusable. It is integrated though, which makes it so appealing.
What you need is a SIP client that supports a packet loss / jitter tolerant codec like speex, ilbc, silk, or even g729.
Skype at least in the past used silk.
You may want to look into sipdroid or csipsimple. I'd love to use csipsimple, but last I used it, there was a nasty loop glitch when using it with google voice
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=svCqNEf8k9Q
Thanks for the fast reply. I'll give csipsimple a try.
inso
do make sure to disable all codecs but that aren't packet loss / jitter friendly.
no g711 etc.
yes to speex, ilbc, g729, and to a lesser extent, gsm.
Unfortunately the echos still occured, even with csipsimple. I now fixed it by installing CM 10.1. Just in case anybody else has got this problem.
Again, thanks for your help
I haven't had many problems with it. I had one person say it echoed on their end but no one else. I haven't heard any echoes.
My problem is with trying to use Google voice. If I set the app to use voice for all calls it doesn't give me an option to call with internet. If I don't use Google voice it gives me the option to internet call. I would Prefer to be able to keep my Google voice settings the same but I had to set it to " ask every call". This way I can say " without Google voice" then get the option to use Internet calling.
But I don't want to just select " don't use Google voice for any calls". That would give me the option to use Internet calling every time but wouldnt use the correct number when I don't use Internet calling.

In that case, set Android to always use internet calling, and set GV to prompt. Then if you hit yes, it'll use GV and dial out. If you hit no, it'll use internet calling.
But, I don't know how satisfied you'll be with the native client... Poor codec choice.

i know this is an odd question, but i have had it with IM+, its laggy as he**, and skype constantly drops connection. what i am looking for is an all in one IM client, like what IMO used to be before skype was pulled. is there any apps for this other then IM+?
I have Skype and have no issues of the sort.
Why don't you try Google Hangout. And if you want something similar to Skype you can make free call text and body chat with Vonage as long as both parties are using the app.
