| sicelo | is it just me or is Fremantle a million times better for VoIP/SIP calls than Android? | 14:22 |
|---|---|---|
| sicelo | or maybe I just cannot find a good application and/or settings on Android 8? | 14:22 |
| KotCzarny | newer androids are similar to windows8 | 14:25 |
| KotCzarny | shiny, yet big and clunky | 14:25 |
| KotCzarny | they went downhill after android 4 or 5 | 14:26 |
| KotCzarny | basically you are running a node of google's network and you pay for it | 14:26 |
| sixwheeledbeast | Well SIP over jabber worked out the box for Maemo with default messaging stuff. Not really used others. Bit flaky now, i think it's cert issues. | 14:28 |
| KotCzarny | and i think you add voip/sip in 'accounts' part of android's settings | 14:29 |
| KotCzarny | ahm, no. settings -> call callings -> phone account settings | 14:32 |
| KotCzarny | i knew it had 'account' in the name tho :) | 14:33 |
| sicelo | i can't find that KotCzarny | 14:35 |
| sicelo | i also would have expected to have such setting | 14:36 |
| KotCzarny | which android version? | 14:36 |
| sicelo | 8 | 14:37 |
| sicelo | hehe, https://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge/695673-sip-settings-missing-samsung-s7-s7-edge.html | 14:38 |
| KotCzarny | heh | 14:39 |
| KotCzarny | castrated ? | 14:39 |
| sicelo | it would appear so | 14:39 |
| sicelo | although i guess what's worse with mine is that this is the Sprint version | 14:43 |
| KotCzarny | reflash with stock? | 14:43 |
| sicelo | stock? you mean like LineageOS? the Sprint S7 is locked tigher than the world's most secure prison :'( | 14:46 |
| KotCzarny | no, the unbranded firmware | 14:46 |
| KotCzarny | most phones can be put into flashing mode by holding buttons during poweron | 14:47 |
| sicelo | i wonder if that will work :-/ | 14:48 |
| sicelo | sounds dangerous :p | 14:48 |
| KotCzarny | it is | 14:48 |
| KotCzarny | :) | 14:48 |
| KotCzarny | i mean flashing, not just putting boot in flashing mode | 14:48 |
| KotCzarny | often requires finding proper image, as phones differ by regions and features | 14:49 |
| sicelo | i think i must just exchange this phone for something else one day. it was a gift from a friend who stayed here with us from America. he wanted me to be one WhatsApp :-D | 14:49 |
| sicelo | that workaround mentioned on the page seems to be working .. at least i can reach the SIP setting now | 14:56 |
| brolin_empey | sicelo: Android 4 and later include SIP support but the SIP support is often crippled by Android distributors, in which case the gratis version of ZoiPer (from the Google Play Store) seems to work well as a SIP client. | 18:07 |
| sicelo | zoiper hasn't worked reliably for me (i tried it) | 18:22 |
| sicelo | what i do now is use the s7 as hotspot for n900. this setup works perfectly | 18:23 |
| brolin_empey | ACK. | 18:24 |
