*Zoiper IAX SIP VOIP Softphone*
Your rating:★★★★★
*Registration fail issue* As expected, network glitches between Zoiper
and my host sip server cause my Zoiper to go into registration fail
mode, but what is not expected is that when the network recovers, Zoiper remains locked out in registration fail. Zoiper either has to be
restarted for it to recover, or I have to temporarily stop wifi and go
to 3G mobile for a minute and then go back to wifi. Then Zoiper's
registration recovers OK. Zoiper needs a mod so it automatically keeps
retrying to recover from any registration fail.
*Developer response:*
Zoiper will fix itself automatically after a while, the issue is because android does not notify us at the proper time when the network is up
----MY FURTHER COMMENTS------
Can you be a little more specific about how long that "after a while"
would be, or explain what exactly it is that initiates an automatic fix operation?
The problem I have is that when Zoiper has been running in the
background and I haven't opened it for a while, maybe a couple of days
for example, it's quite common for me to discover it displaying a red
registration fail notification when I open it. I can't usually tell how long it's been in that failed state unless I've received an email
indicating that someone has left me an incoming voicemail when I thought Zoiper should have had me registered on-line. In that event I find there's no indication of any incoming call from that voicemail's number on Zoiper.
I've found 3 possible ways of restoring my registration:
1. Stop my local wifi and temporarily go over to mobile internet, see
registration turn green, and then go back to my local wifi
2. Force stop Zoiper in Settings -> Applications. Then restart it.
3. Restart my whole phone.
I've tried simply waiting and doing nothing for quite a while to see if
Zoiper fixes itself, but that doesn't work, at least not after quite a long wait anyhow.
Zoiper copes and recovers registration OK with local loss of wifi and/or local loss of mobile signal. This registration lockout problem only seems to arise when network glitches occur deeper down the line towards my sip server, ofr even in the sip server itself. Those glitches are more common when I'm travelling and staying in countries with weak internet infrastructure, than they are when I'm at home.
Of course lengthy periods of red registration fail cause incoming calls
to be unnecessarily lost and this inconveniences both myself and my
callers.
I'm wondering if there'd be any easy way of running a log file that
would record exactly when red registration fail occurs?
