Any progress on a solution to the problrms with the Galaxy Tab wifi only GT P1010?
Thanks
Some. We have the tablet and have been trying a few different things. Nothing definitive yet.
Not sure if this is the right place to post a question, but here goes:
Using Groove IP on my Acer Iconia tablet. It works well, but I have a few issues:
1) Audio from calls does not follow the device's volume slider. Do I need to go into the software settings each time I want to adjust the audio volume?
2) DTMF seems to duplicate (ie. I enter 215432, and it reads 221154322) quite often when trying to enter conference codes and such. This seems to be a hit-and-miss issue, but I would say it occurs 50% of the time.
3) Still trying to figure this one out, but my Plantronics Go 6400 bluetooth headset does not seem to play well with the software.
Great app by the way, just thought I would bring up these issues I am seeing.
For better dtmf detection, you can press mute before pressing any dtmf. Mute will block any background noise and should help with the dtmf detection. We're going to make a change so that happens in the background when you press a digit.
Greetings Android community,
I just installed Groove IP (1.1.8). Everything seems to works great, except that the sound is extremely quiet; nearly inaudible, in fact. I've tried every work-around and configuration within the programs menus and my system volume settings and nothing seems to solve the problem. As far as I can tell, the sound quality is good (not choppy, distorted or echoey). It's just quiet.
I have been using Google Voice and Sipgate on CSipSimple for some time now. This works acceptably, except that the sound quality seems to fluctuate from bad to worse. I get a lot of feedback and delay which is frustrating when trying to have a conversation.
Note that all experimentation has been on a Wi-Fi connection. The phone does not have service at this time. Also, note, I have tried using headset, handset and speakerphone all with similar results.
Samsung Mesmerize
OS 2.1, Voodoo kernel
If anybody has any helpful advice it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
In which direction is the sound quiet? Both? You can try the wifi tablet checkbox and that may improve things. You can also increase the mic gain or speaker volume settings to make either direction louder.
Just discovered this app, as I was waiting for Talkatone to come to Android. It's great to see a developer that is so available. I don't know if it's been asked yet, but would it be possible to use multiple GV accounts with Groove IP? This has been a limitation for many users with more than one GV account and would be a great feature/selling point. Judging by the feedback here, I am just about ready to purchase it anyway.
We don't support multiple GV accounts yet.
I have the opposite question. I am thinking about buying an Asus tablet. I have Groove IP working fine on my Optimus-V; can I add Groove IP to the tablet with the same GV number? (or can I have the same Google account on 2 phones?) Will both the tablet and phone ring? Make outgoing calls from either?
Google Voice only will ring one log in. So either the tablet or the phone will ring. You should be able to make outgoing calls with either though.
I just downloaded v1.1.8. My outgoing calls connect, however I am only able to use the handset to talk. I have the disable bt unchecked. Is this something to do with my phone? How can I fix this?
Thank you.
The app has bluetooth support, but as you can see by the multiple posts it doesn't work on all phones or bluetooth devices. We don't have a list of which devices will work. The android API we use pretty much boils down to start bluetooth or stop bluetooth. It also seems tied to the bluetooth device. People with the same phone but different headsets have had different results (one working, other not)
I am running v 1.1.8 on my Optimus V. The program works well except for the fact that I cannot route calls through the bluetooth system in my car (which DOES work for normal calls on my Optimus). I've tried unchecking and rechecking the bluetooth box but that did nothing. Any suggestions?
See above, we're pretty dependent on the underlying android bluetooth api. Don't know why it doesn't work with certain devices.
i want to know whats the main differences on making a call on groove ip on 3g vs on Skype over 3g i use Skype and can talk very good and clear but when a use groove ip i have not been able to make a good call over 3g i tried a lot of the troubleshooting but nothing have work
if you have any tips or tricks on how improve my calling help me please
i have the lg optimus v
Skype controls both end points, so they can use different codecs, compression, or add a jitter buffer. All of those things can improve quality on disadvantaged networks. They deal with jitter, slow speeds or latency. Google Voice only supports one codec. And they don't have support seem to implement a jitter buffer or any compression. So it's more likely for quality to suffer on a network that has jitter, latency or slow speeds. On the flip side since Google Voice uses a high quality no compression codec, voice should sound better than Skype on a good network.
I have two problems (just installed 1.1.8):
The person I'm talking to hears echoes of what he is saying.
More significant: when a call comes in, first groove ip starts ringing, but the answer call screen does not come up. Then the native dialer starts ringing, and I can't unlock the screen to pull up groove ip from the notifications to answer that way. Eventually the call just goes to voicemail, and the phone is sluggish to wake up from the lock screen.
Phone: LG Optimus V.
You need to uncheck call forwarding to your cell phone in your google voice account. Google voice sends the call to all forwarding locations, generally google chat rings first. But once your native phone starts ringing that will always take precedence over a 3rd party app.
Sorry guys for the slow responses. Just got back in tonight, if I missed your question please email us at
