Frequently Asked Questions
How can I prepare for mobile VoIP?Sipdroid allows you to choose where you will use VoIP, on WLANs only, on 3G, or EDGE networks. If you are going to use VoIP services outside private wireless networks, it's your responsibility to check the contractual terms with the mobile operator: Often mobile phone operators forbid using VoIP in the contract's fine print. The European Union is already looking at whether blocks on VoIP service by Europe's mobile phone operators might breach competition laws. The following plans are suitable for unlimited hotspot/3G usage:
What type of warranty comes with Sipdroid?This project publishes Sipdroid for free under the terms of GNU General Public License v3. The first public version is beta for software testing. So please allow for some issues and incompatibilities at the beginning. How can I dial my contacts over IP / over PSTN?In settings you can specify your preferred call type. This is used when clicking a "Call" tab of a contact. When clicking on the "Text" tab of a contact you get a menu like this:
"Messaging" lets you proceed with sending SMS/MMS. The other two let you override your call type manually. How can I dial a phone number over IP / over PSTN?When entering a phone number in the dialer add a "+" sign to toggle call type. If your preferred call type is SIP adding a + behind the number calls over PSTN. NOTE: Don't add anything to emergency numbers. They are always dialed over PSTN.
What SIP providers is Sipdroid compatible with?Sipdroid runs standard SIP. Which features are supported in Sipdroid?Sipdroid presently supports basic call. All the typical PBX features are configured from the PC. This concept is much like the concept of Google's services that allow you e.g. to manage your calendar on the PC and access it remotely on your phone. How can I switch Sipdroid on and off?You need to open Sipdroid's settings and uncheck "Use WLAN" to disable it. How much will Sipdroid drain the battery? (Constantly running Internet connection?)When using pbxes.org the expected stand-by times are the same as without Sipdroid running in the background (we observed about three days of stand-by time). To improve also try uninstalling background applications (e.g. Netcounter, which only runs fine with WLAN turned off). A good application to save battery is Ambient Light Sensor. What are the system requirements?To install Sipdroid you need version 1.5 "Cupcake" of Android. See link for details on updating the OS on developer phones. The update for the other phones comes over the air, starting May 1st, 2009. What does "full" version mean?There is a download at Android Market which is limited to usage within Wireless LANs only. The download available here can be used on 3G and EDGE networks as well. Please check the contractual terms with your mobile operator before using that one (see above). Upgrading through Android Market always reverts to the limited version. What build environment is needed for Sipdroid?If you are interested in developing and contributing to the project please install Eclipse and Subclipse for building the source code.

Even when unchecking all connection types do disable sipdroid, there is still a process running (I can see it killed -by android to reclaim resources I guess- / resumed now and then). -> We should be able to stop it completly ! (And even when not disabled, is it needed to run while waiting for ie. a wifi connection ?)

Ok... How do you keep the phone in stand-by 3 days??? I can't even keep it one day in stand by. Battery goes out by night. If used, I have to charge it in midday. The program needs a ring-ring when trying to call out. The phone seems dead while connecting the call, and then just out of nowhere, you hear the "HELLO" on the other end. |

Easy to set up and use... I would like to see bluetooth and the speakerphone as options - like the default dialer...
