[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1.Have a SAMSUNG Spica with standard ROM non-rooted 2.1 eclair and 
csipsimple installed (tested with 0.0.4 ; 0.06 et 0.0.9)
2.Launch the soft and call somebody : i can speak et heard what it's said 
but :
3.The phone is blocked ! We can only unblock the phone by removing the
battery...

Thanks for the report.
I've a little idea (but only for the 0.00-09).
Is the phone blocked after a fix number of seconds (on the call screen there is 
a
chronometer). 
If my guess is right, it should freeze always when the ringtone should have 
ended.
If you change your phone setting to disable ringing (use only vibrator). 
If deactivating ringtone solves the problem for you, let me know i'll push an 
update
tonight for this issue (that i think i've fixed it but i'm not sure that it was 
due
to the ringtone).

By desactiving ringtone, the phone is no more blocked and can stop the 
application 
without removing battery!

But there is still a problem, i can't use the call screen : it happend nothing 
by 
touching the screen in order to end the call or enable speaker...
Another thing, the first call test don't work, i must restart Csipsimple and 
then 
it's work.

Thanks for your job!

Ok, seems to not really be linked to the ringtone in fact.
That's really strange. I can reproduce a freeze sometimes... (what's strange is 
that
only on my HTC magic on android 1.5) (It works fine on Nexus One, and Archos 
5IT).

I tried a second time and the phone blocked again even if the ring-tone was 
off...
I never succeed to call somebody without freeze but the bugs are not always the 
same.

Nevertheless the sound is better than other sip applications and the 
configuration is 
very easy and fast!
I hope you'll find the solution!

Yes the bug is really difficult to debug (since appears only sometimes). 
It seems to be the garbage collector that goes into an infinite loop (or 
something
like that).
After many tests on my htc magic, i noticed that for incoming calls the freeze
appears if you take the call within the first 5 seconds. If I wait at least for 
5 or
7 seconds, the user interface doesn't freeze after that. 
But I think this value depends on the overall used memory on the phone. (I 
think, but
not really sure, that garbage collector try to deallocate things that it 
shouldn't
manage and retry since it doesn't succeed.)

So for now, i'm testing another method for audio processing. 
It will probably impact performances but at least it will not freeze (I 
hope....). 
I'll also try to unlink user interface management from the sip stack (it already
seems to improve a little bit things (less freeze), but not for all cases).

Calling using gsm codec and smslisto.com via hsdpa, sometimes freeze the screen 
and i
can continue the conversation. I try only outgoing call.

Need to kill the app to exit.

HTC Legend with standard rom and csipsimple 09

I like the app very much.
I hope it will be possible in future versions, have a list of recent calls made 
using
sip-address and will not need to specify a domain when the call is in the same 
domain

Thanks

Many thanks for your comment it confirms that it's not linked to the android 
version
but probably to the CPU/RAM available when the call is taken. 
The issue is really hard to debug it seems to freeze into the JVM or something 
like
that :/. For now I have no solution and it afraid me a little bit...
It's an absolute priority for me and the dev of the app is frozen while I'll not
solve this issue.

For future version call logs are planned don't worry ;). (I hope also to the 
android
Phone application logs if possible).

Besides you should already be able when you make a call using another android
application (for example the Phone application) to choose SIP if you want (and 
it
will auto-complete the phone number with the account domain name).

Yet another try, but this time I've totally reimplemented the audio driver. I 
now use
the "official" way (using JNI to pass my audio frames).
I have no freezes with this version on my HTC Magic on android 1.5 (so I hope it
solve things this time... and that if I test again in 5 minutes it will not 
freeze
again...). But since the audio driver has been totally rewritten, i'm more 
confident.

Perfs will be a little bit affected (but the audio comfort is still really good 
- i
didn't notice the difference) (it only affects benchmarks I think).

Let me know if this new version :
* solve the freeze issue
* doesn't affect too much audio perfs

Thanks in advance !

On my Htc Legend on Android 2.1 I have no more freeze.
I didn't notice difference in audio quality using  UMTS connection.

Thanks

On my Legend I can't use native dialer to call a sip address like
sip:account@sip.provider.com.
And even with CSipSimple text interface, I do not know where I mistake

Thanks for the confirmation on your HTC Legend !
Great news :D

I think that i'll push the update really soon.

Ok for text dialer, you're right, there is a regression in the debug apk i 
provided
in my comment. I'll fix it for the update.

Tried the market version on Acer Liquid (2.1 eclair), freeze during the call... 
had
to hard reset the device.
With the posted-here version, I can confirm that is working properly, no 
freezes at
all and at this time is surely the only that is working well on Liquid :)

Audio quality seems to be ok

This app is really on the right way
