I just started trying to use tasker today to make my groove ip setup more integrated but some of this stuff I would prefer was in groove ip itself. Locale Google Voice Set Plug allows you to change on the fly what google voice forwards to on conditions. Better Locale Airplane mode lets you turn of radios on conditions, not just all of them but like say just the cell radio while on wifi. Last Idea I had was if you had some sort of 3-way calling trick built into it so that you could say click move to cellular and it would call your cell number answer it and hang up google voice so you could leave your wifi network and still have your call up. Maybe have like a little noise when your wifi signal is getting too weak and maybe emphasis the move to cellular when your wifi signal was weak while not harassing you with it. I don't want to come off too needy but i thought these would be some pretty cool features if possible.

[APP] GrooVe IP - Google Voice VoIP

I'm not sure what to suggest. It seems like the bluetooth is hijacking the audio feeds. If you restart your phone does that fix the issue? You can also try disabling bluetooth from the GrooVe IP miscellaneous settings to see if that helps.
Hi, I have been trying to verify my cell phone w/GV for days now. The auto system can't seem to hear when I put in the verification code. I have tried everything I can think of. I tried a tone generator, I tried from a different location, I forwarded the call to another cell phone that has been verified on GV and several other things... I give up (unless someone has something else to suggest) I have a GV phone number and my work cell is verified on GV. It is my personal cell that I can't verify.
Can I use GrooVe IP to integrate my cell w/my GV account, even tho the phone isn't verified? I don't want to try it and find out the hard way that something screwed up! I have an Atrix 4G on ATT.
Thanks!

Hi, you don't need the phone to be verified to use GrooVe IP. If you already have a Google Voice phone number that's all you need to make and receive calls. The app works through the same interface as gmail calling, so if you can use that on a PC you can use GrooVe IP on the phone. We have a user guide with more info available here http://snrblabs.com/snrb/Apps/GrooveIP/UserGuide.aspx
I have run in to a couple of issues after upgrading to the latest version from the Android Market. I am using a Samsung Galaxy Nexus with the stock ICS 4.0.2.
1) GrooveIP crashes when I dial a conference call number and try to enter the conference code. As I enter the conference code it crashes consistently after entering the first number in the code. This happens on both WiFi and 3G/4G connectivity.
2) When I leave a WiFi connection and pick up the cell phone providers' data connection, GrooveIP gets disconnected during the transition and does not connect back automatically when the screen is not active. I have to connect back manually by opening GrooveIP.
In the meantime I have been using Talkatone and it seems to work fine.
Thanks for any help.

You may want to try a clean install of the app. It could be something was messed up on download/install. Uninstall the app, restart the device then install the app again. I've been trying to reproduce the issue on our Galaxy Nexus but haven't been able to yet.
Just tried that and have the same issue of GrooveIP crashing. I'd be happy to send the number to call in a private message if it would help debug the problem. Thanks.
If you can send me a logcat capture via email that would be the most helpful. Easiest way would be with the free catlog app. It will let you start/stop recording the logcat and then you can email me the resulting file. snrb.labs@gmail.com
This app is great; however, it doesn't seem to play well with my Motorola HX550 bluetooth headset (I'm on a galaxy nexus, if it helps). I can't just press on the headset to answer a call; it just brings up a voice dialog when I do so.
If possible, headset answering would definitely be a feature request from me, along with the option to autolock the phone when a call is answered via a headset. (Sometimes you want to just answer with the headset and leave the phone in your pocket while walking, but I've found there's a huge risk of accidentally triggering the hang up button! An option for a more complicated hangup procedure would work here too.)
(Indeed, I have another app for autolocking, but it only works with the default phone program. So I guess if you could have an option to redirect incoming calls to the default phone, that would make me happy as well! Although I suppose the above features would make more users happy in general ; )
Thanks for the great app!

Have been looking into supporting physical bluetooth buttons. If there's an api it doesn't seem to be very well documented. But others have reported being able to access them so we have a few leads to try.

This is the 4th time I have lost incoming voice on a connected call (in 2 months). Normally the app works well on my Galaxy Player 5.0. To get the calls to work again, I need to check the "wifi tablet" box. With this checked, the call connects and I hear the incoming voice (but it's through the speaker, and speakerphone does nothing). If I reboot with the wifi tablet box not checked (best call quality, and speakerphone button works), I still don't get incoming voice. But if I reboot with wifi tablet box checked, then uncheck the box after the boot, all will start work normally... for about a week. Then I loose incoming voice again and need to go through the "custom" reboot sequence.
I could leave it on "wifi tablet" mode, but I don't like the sound through the speakers... any ideas?

Not really sure what to suggest. It sounds like the audio driver or voice stream is getting into a bad state. Not really sure what could cause that to happen. Have you tried Synchronize Voice or a different Mic Source or Mic Buffer setting in troubleshooting?

Haven't tried those (since it works fine with none of that 80% of the time). Next time I lose incoming, I'll try those to see if it comes back without rebooting. "Audio" related things on my device:
1. Cubed Player
2. DSP Manager
3. Ivona Voice
4. Navfree
5. Speaktoit (uses it's own voices)
....and any system things (GV, Player, Voice Search)
#5 has the best odds of being the problem, but could also be DSP Manger, since it sets equalizer to speakers.

Haven't tried those apps. But something like DSP Manager could cause the issue since it changes settings on the audio streams.
First thing to try would just be the echo canceler in the audio/echo settings. Can also try changing the mic source to VoIP from the troubleshooting settings.
Hi snrb,
Your response to this inquiry was,
I was wondering if in newer versions you were able to fix this problem, or if getting a custom version from you was still the only way to go about solving this problem? I'm moving to Japan in May and I am most likely going to encounter the same issue as techninja2.
Thanks!

I had already turned on the echo canceler. Setting the mic source to VOIP seemed to help but there is still a little echo.
I have a non rooted N1 with no prior wifi connection problems and i tested the phone wifi with other apps and it is remaining stable. But for some reason groove ip is causing the phone to loose the wifi connection momentarily and thus sign out. I see the wifi go out on the phone and after a second it comes back and groove ip starts signing in again. have tried checking the keep screen on, sync voice, partial wake lock, high perf wifi lock but still happens. cant hold on to calls for longer than a few mins at a time... in stand by it does it much less but during calls it does it consistently since I got the app a few days ago. without the app running I am able to maintain the wifi without a problem... but with groove ip something is causing the wifi on the phone to dc and then reconnect right away. Any work around or fix?
ps: other devices are maintaining connection to wifi, router is brand new belkin, router is in same room as cell when testing and usually when calling, tried changing channels on router, there is a cordless phone in near proximity to the router but other devices are having no prob maintaining connection including the phone as long as groove ip is not actively on.....

Do you see any issues with the new Google Voice update? I made a call directly with GV only and was fine, but force closed once I hung up. Then I went to make the same call with Groove and it also force closed when I hung up. Since both are obviously using Google Chat, there must be a conflict of some sort.
No, the update is only to their android app. GrooVe IP doesn't use the Google Voice android app at all. Google Voice android app doesn't use Google Chat. They should be completely unrelated. The only thing that the Google Voice android app sometimes does is change your forwarding settings. If you want grab a logcat capture and I'll see why GrooVe IP crashed. Easiest way is with the free catlog app (lets you start/stop recording logcat to a file)
Looking for recommendations for a Dell Streak 7 4G. I uninstalled and then reinstalled the latest version. It seems to work ok, but I am told there is an echo at the other end even though I have set the mic down to -9. I was thinking of getting a Bluetooth headset, but would that fix this problem, or just introduce issues with the Bluetooth.
The streak is running Honeycomb 3.2 to the extent that might affect your recommendation.
Thanks!

Did you try the echo canceler setting? Also may want to try changing the mic source (under troubleshooting). Try VoIP and Android Default
I've been trying to figure this out, read through this thread and didn't see an answer.
I have GrooveIP installed on two phones, a Motorola Defy running Stock ROM 2.2.2, and a Motorola RAZR (GSM stock ROM) running 2.3.5.
On the RAZR it runs PERFECTLY!!! Amazing app.
On the Defy, it makes a call OK, but after 2-3 minutes the call is cut off.
Then, under the "Recent" tab, it shows the call duration from anywhere from 0-4 seconds, even though I am sure the call lasted at least 2 minutes.
It *always* cuts off, it never goes more than about 3 minutes. Any ideas besides flashing a new ROM on the phone? I really don't feel like flashing a new ROM, the Defy is just fine for my purposes otherwise.
