2) Hardware Acceleration all over the OS : Finally, I say! :D

 

 

 

 

:wOOtjumpy: Hopefully the phone version of it comes soon too.

 

 

 

 

 

Shantz, am sending you a mail now with the Wireshark dump attached.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and for you Nexus S owners: :D

When the Google Nexus S was announced, the stand out feature was support for near field communication (NFC) technology. The enthusiasm soon died however after we found out it was a highly limited implementation that only allowed for reading of NFC tags. Google was quick to point out that with time more and more near field features would be added, enabled via over the air software updates, but some people just don’t have any patience. Gibraltar Software Factory, based in Argentina, went through the source code of Android 2.3 and found that Google has purposefully hidden several NFC related API calls, most likely due to the fact that they’re not quite stable enough for public release. Some minor tweaking of the source code, and boom, they’ve enabled write support for NFC tags.

 

 

 

Why is this even important? If you want to use near field for something other than saving yourself the time it takes to input a URL for a movie trailer or restaurant reviews, you need the ability to write your own tags. Also one of the simplest use cases for NFC is no longer having to exchange numbers the old fashioned way, by reciting numbers aloud, or the highly geeky way, of exchanging vCards over Bluetooth. There are many other things you can do, such as verify your identity in conjunction with the SIM card in your device, and that allows you to pay for things at stores, something we’ve jealously been watching the Japanese do for years, and have been waiting to see on European and American shores.

 

Will 2011 be the year that near field takes off? It’s tough to say. Android 2.3 just came out, and many devices announced at CES are still running the “old” Android 2.2 that doesn’t feature NFC support. From a hardware perspective, there’s still no Qualcomm Snapdragon like platform that bundles NFC, and that may be the key issue.

3.0 is supposed to be for phones as well. Only difference will be UI implementation, I suppose.

No 3.0 isn't for phones. This was confirmed by Google in one of their blog posts or interviews I think. The "confusion" arose because of an engadget interview with a google UI guy (dont remember the name but he is the one who switched from webos). What he said was that the many 3.0 UI elements "can be" fruitful for phones as well. So, basically they will have some components ported to the phone branch as well but 3.0 isn't coming to phones as such.

 

@gaurav: your settings look fine. I'll go over your wireshark dump over the weekend.

Edit: In the meanwhile can you port forward your port 5060 to your PC where you are trying to register the sip connection

Edit2: One more thing. Try using TCP in your settings in your settings instead of UDP. I don't remember completely but I think I had that issue as well till the time I was using UDP even though that is what is recommended by gizmo

Port porward UDP 5000 - 5085 & 10000-20000 to your PC.

 

Gaurav, you need to get rid of the dual NAT, its highly unlikely that SIP will work over the present scenario.

dual NAT as in having a modem + wifi router setup with each providing different subnets? Same setup works fine for me..

I'm downloading few maps on Locus, around 1 to 1.5 gb total, and at times my phone complains of low memory. Have to then reboot to make it go away, or else go into running services and close some manually. Have no idea why a download will eat up RAM. :scratchchin:

Dual NAT:

 

Internet -- > ADSL router/modem running NAT --> DSL Router running NAT --> LAN

 

Maybe working for you bhai, but this kind of setup is something which should be avoided not only for SIP but for other services too. If googled you can find many articles such a setup poses. Basically the return packets are not successfully routed back to the SIP client.

 

Not many server servers work SIP/RTP over TCP, best is UDP only. Another VoIP protocol that can be tried is IAX2, which has less issues with NAT transversal, provided his SIP server supports the same.

 

@Gaurav, I'm sure you have left the default STUN settings enabled in X-lite as well ?

Thank you :hi:

 

I'll try this this weekend. As well as forwarding the ports vbhoj suggested. Anyway I went over to the other house and registered perfectly then used the tor browser bundle to put my ipkall number, followed by the actual Gizmo number itself on Google Voice. Both authenticated correctly using the phone to receive the code confirmation call. Couldn't register for that stupid sipgate thing because it kept asking me to choose a carrier too, and when i put in one of my numbers (either ipkall or gizmo or google voice itself) with a random carrier chosen the thing wouldn't send me an SMS.

Wait, what? :unsure:

 

I cant delete the app.. It comes preinstalled. Plus it isnt even working on browser...

 

And abt the second solution :rant:

 

Get Titanium backup and try uninstalling and reinstalling the app. TB should allow you to clear out even system apps as far as I know.

^^he would need to root the phone for that.. and if he roots the phone then he can do anything from command line instead of installing TB

 

Yeah that he could, but if he's on root, he might as well have TB on it, atleast it gives you a nice GUI and shows you your backup dates and stuff.

 

Are you rooted hellsboy?
