Does not receive calls

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I installed the latest version of sipdroid, and *successfully* registered
to Gizmo5's network, via their gate: proxy01.sipphone.com:5060. I had to
use TCP, since UDP just timed out and wouldn't register. But it did work
with TCP. I am using it under WiFi only btw, not 3G.

The problem is that sipdroid does not recognize that there are incoming
calls. I have setup my Gizmo5 with GoogleVoice, and I tell GoogleVoice to
call my Gizmo5 number when I call out. Unfortunately, Sipdroid does not
recognize that there's an incoming call. It just sits there, and eventually
GoogleVoice gives up.

The built-in Nokia SIP application, and my SIP app on my iPhone work fine
btw, they recognize the call fine, it's only Sipdroid on Android that
doesn't. My PC Gizmo5 app works too btw, so I am pretty sure it's not my
router's fault.

Thanks.

Why did you change the status to "invalid"? What exactly is missing from the 
bug report?

We don't care on incompatibilities to single providers here. Please track the 
problem 
down to the real bug (the sip messages that are not processed properly for 
example) or 
discuss the problem in the user's group.

If you want me to use your PBXes service instead (I read your FAQ, it seems 
that you
only recommend your own business, PBXes), think again: I won't give you my 
personal
data (your company asks for WAY too much information in order to register), and 
I
won't agree on a license agreement that you haven't translated to English.

Plus, why would I want to use your PBXes service, when my mother calls from 
Greece to
my Google Voice number in North California, then Google sending the data to 
Gizmo5's
service in San Diego, and then Gizmo has to send you the data in Germany, which 
you
then send them to me back in California? It makes no sense for me to use your
service. All these round-trips add a LOT of lag to my call quality, so I don't 
want
to use PBXes. What I need instead is Sipdroid to be a generic SIP app and 
properly
support the most popular SIP services, like Gizmo5 is.

>Please track the problem down to the real bug (the sip messages that are not
processed properly for example)

Right. And I do that, exactly how? If it involves a terminal, forget it.

>or discuss the problem in the user's group.

No thanks. No proper VoIP support for the most popular free SIP US provider, 
Gizmo5,
will be one of the reasons why I would never move to Android for good. Even if 
my
husband is an Android engineer working for Google.

/me is reaching for her iPhone.

You won't need a terminal but your WLAN router needs to be separate from your 
Internet modem. Then you can plug a computer over a hub to your network and 
record 
SIP messages with Ethereal.

With some routers it already helps to use a different port than 5060. Don't 
know if 
Gizmo allows such.

BTW, PBXes operates servers in datacenters worldwide. San Diego is probably 
nearest 
to your location. Personal data is requested because of legal restrictions in 
certain 
countries.

This problem is not limited to a single service.  I *AM* using PBXes.  I have 
also tried sipgate, sip2sip, ipkall... at least half a dozen others.

I am on the latest version of SIPdroid; I have tried routing through PBXes and 
through the services directly.

At no time have I been able to receive incoming calls whatsoever.  I have spent 
more than fourteen hours attempting to configure these things.  I will be 
uninstalling SIPdroid as it is a piece of trash software, for me, at this point.

Hopefully at some time you guys manage to make software that's actually worth 
installing.
