Seen any good SIP/phone App reviews? fring/nimbuzz/acrobits/bria/Skype/tru/

Best phone App? SIP (fring v nimbuzz v acrobits v Bria v iStarSip/Wifone/F-Route/iPico/NetDial...) v Skype v Tru
I'm trying to use an iPod touch as my main phone, using a MiFi 2200 to provide connectivity wherever.
Anyone seen any good SIP/phone App reviews?
I'm looking for the best SIP app out there. Willing to pay, but want good value. (E.g. Acrobits w/G.729a for $17 one-time is a leading contender.)
I can't find much info on the SIP apps available. I haven't jailbroken my iTouch, but I'd be willing to to get the best SIP app.
Anything with all or most of this:
Caller ID?
Automatically switch codec based on WiFi network name? (e.g. MiFi vs home network).
Support more than one SIP login at a time. (E.g. one for incoming, one for outgoing?) (Equivalent: route different calls via different VoIP providers.)
Fewer transcoding steps? I think this is why fring voice quality is not great; it transcodes SIP.
Better fidelity? (MUST be demonstrated, and replicable.)
Good at maintaining a connection/restoring one that goes down?
I have fring working with sipgate SIP.
I have Skype working (I haven't tried/paid for skypein or skypeout.)
I have $10 in Gizmo5 credit but Gizmo5 with fring is unusable; it almost never works.
Acrobits Softphone is available from the App Store for $7; additional features are available via in-app purchase including G.729 Annex A audio codec support ($10) and encrypted ZRTP outgoing call support ($25).
Nimbuzz: Can run in background for ringing and while talking. Haven't tried.
truphone: 2.1c/min? 1000 min/mo is $21/mo; not reasonable.

Are There Any Good Windows Store Apps For Managing AD Users?

I'm thinking of buying the $79 HP Stream 7 tablets (1GB RAM 16GB storage) and using them as pocket computers to manage AD users while walking about.
We could simply run Remote Desktop to access our workstations and use RSAT tools, but it would be nicer if there was a touch friendly interface we could use on a 7 inch screen to easily do tasks such unlock and reset user passwords without dealing with remote
controlling another PC through the tiny desktop UI.

Move from OnPremise to O365 and you will have an admin app at hand... I

A Good "Lost Phone" App?

Anyone recommend a "Lost Phone" GPS application for the Fascinate?
Thanks very much.

I use the lookout app, and you the free version will let you find it on a map, sound a horn from it to locate it, and other things. There is also a paid service which includes sending a lock code to it, and wiping it. It also serves as an anti-virus app.

Any good photo uploading apps?

Anyone know any apps that can upload photos to the Internet? (that include .gif and/or transparent background photos)
Photobucket and Imgur didn't work. :C

I have been using eWallet for over 10 years on Windows and WinMo. I love this application. The company is top notch in support and the app is rock solid. Any day the Desktop Sync (Windows) will be out and they have a Mac Sync scheduled by the end of the year.
I don't work for these guys, but I have gotten excellent support and customer service over the years. It is hard to find that from a software company, so I give them an ovation when i can.
The negative posts seem to be from people that are disappointed that the windows sync is not out yet, or that it won't sync with a mac.
BTW, they have not advertised it, but if you do their iPhone product before the new syncable version hits the iTunes store, they will give you the desktop license for free. You just have to email them the receipt. Just make sure you are syncing on Windows as that is all the current desktop supports.

Any good note taking apps that don't use the cloud to sync to PC?

I'm looking for a note taking app that has an iPad client and a PC client that also acts as a server. I want to be able to keep my ipad notes in sync with my PC notes for work without using any cloud-like services. My iPad is connected to the same corporate network as my PC.
Any suggestions? I'm not fussed about special features like handwriting, images, colours, formatting, etc. folders and tags would be nice though.

No, I don't sync via iTunes any more, but the option is clearly still there, with a warning about what might happen if I turn it on.

Good site for game app reviews???

Has anyone found a good site for app reviews of games/entertainment titles in particular?
I am interested in getting a racing game - either Real Racing or Need for Speed - and curious which one is considered better.
Thanks, Steve

I've been using TouchArcade for a few years now to find games for my iPod Touch and they've started reviewing iPad games too. They're great!

Any good uninstall apps?

There are some items on my MacBook Pro that are just hanging out there and I would like to get them off of my computer. For example, I used to have Sophos Anti-Virus on my machine, but used the "unistanll" that i provided...by it didn't uninstall completely, as I can still see a Sophos folder somewhere on Finder, and while in finder it gives me the option in a drop down to scan any particular file with Sophos. Plus I have a Canon IJ Network Scan Utility showing in the top menu bar to the right and would like to get rid of that untitlity and get it off the menu bar. Any good "Apple-friendly" apps out there that can make a clean wipe of certain apps or programs? Thanks.

1. Under System Preferences > Other, see if you have any preference panes that may have an "uninstall" option.
2. While you're there look under Users & Groups, and delete any "Login Items" that you don't want. Select the item and then click the "-" (minus) button:
3. Try holding ⌘ (command) while clicking and dragging a menu extra (menulet) icon off your menubar. Some third party utilities work that way; some don't.
4. In Finder, simply drag any unwanted apps or folders to the Trash.
These techniques or may not get rid of all your unwanted programs, but it ought to get you started.
I don't use any uninstall utilities so I can't recommend any; I wouldn't trust them and deleting stuff in OS X is generally pretty easy anyway.

App that can do direct SIP phone communication on...

I was wondering if there were any S60 SIP phones available for direct sip phone to sip phone communication without the use of a proxy service, such a skype.
Currently I haven't found ab application that can call another SIP phone on my local network.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

@grschinon:
Several hits on conversations.nokia.com, but the best explanation I found, which is more in line with what I read in the past, is on this page, posted 2009-Aug-13:
"I feel that the whole SIP client story is one of those (no flames, please). Nokia took out the client expecting IT departments and independent developers to create a better SIP client. Sure, there are VoIP clients, which cover the majority of folks. But the folks who want a proper SIP client on their phone ended up not having any developer make anything for them.
Usually, independent developers drive innovations in a platform, whether it be Windows or Symbian or whatnot. In the case of SIP, when Nokia built a phone, with all the foundation needed for SIP, no one came – no Cisco, no IBM, no one."
A rewrite of the underlying SIP stack shouldn't cause Nokia to pull out the front-end client. If you think about it, a SIP client would be very useful during the SIP stack rewrite for testing and validation (in addition to the unit tests, I'm sure).
In any case, I guess I was looking for something officially stated by Nokia (as you suggested) rather than blogs, unless they are backed by sources.

App reviews?

Normally I can pick up an android mag and get the top 100 apps to try... however Im struggling with the windows 8 phone
Is there any webpage that does app reviews, or list i could subscribe to?
I did some googling obviously but the same things come up...PDF, Facebook, twitter, amazon apps etc. Well duh!
Id like to kit out my phone with some good apps but not download the whole store to find out whats good!
Cheers

I have tried a couple of dozen ways to get to the relevant spot to post a question and give up. When I went to this question there was no option above to post a new question as the "help" said. So as a shot in the dark, can anyone tell me why it takes so long for a review of an Ap to appear? I tried an Ap this morning, liked it, there was no reviews on it. So I thought I'd help out and send my opinion. Nada. There is a comment above that says there are not enough reviews to rate this ap. But it won't let my review through? I don't get this at all. It says, be the first to review, then leaves you hanging. What am I missing, can anyone enlighten me.
And man is it hard to get around in this forum.

I am looking for a good Call Blocking App for my iPhone 5...any suggestions??

I am in need of a good call blocking app for iPhone....please any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

As Randy Landry1 says, Google for "silent ringtone", download and install on you iPhone as a ringtone.
Now create a contact for the offending phone number. Assign the contact to the silent ringtone and set no vibrate.
When that number calls it will not ring, nor vibrate. It will light up the screen, but if you do not see that, it will not bother you. They could leave voice mail, but that is easily deleted.
And if it is a situation where the are violating the do not call list, you can use the missed call log to report the number to the FTC.
Also, if the calls are abusive or threading, and the leave a voice mail, you something to show the police.

My elderly mother hss EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri. Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing and not accidentally open any other app and screw something

My elderly mother has EXTREMELY limited vision and is a technophobe. I am considering an iPhone with Siri. Can I turn off everything else so she can use only the phone app and voice dialing or Siri and not accidentally open any other app and screw something up.

I'm asking, in all seriousness, why do you think your mother needs an iPhone? Honestly, if your mother is, as you described her, a technophobe, I would recommend against getting an iPhone or any other smartphone. I've spent a fair bit of time teaching older folks to use smartphones. If they are interested in learning, it's fine. If they have the phone because their kids or grandkids thought it was a good idea but they are afraid of the phone or not interested in its features, it doesn't go well at all.
Many basic phones have voice dialing. Obviously, it doesn't do all the things Siri does but it may be much less intimidating for your mom. Also, basic phones have hardware keys. Even someone with limited vision can learn the keyboard on such a phone. From the sound of your first post, all she will be doing is making phone calls.
Best of luck.

Z1 Compact, Any good for this phone?

I'll copy here the email sended to Sony. I'm very sorry Sony, if I forgot to detail another problem.
Here is the email.
Z1 Compact: The greatest piece of SH*T in the planet! where to begin?
1- The vibration on the phone stops RANDOMLY in certain positions.
2- The sound doesn't comes from the speaker, just from the ear speakers.
3- The photo quality, MY GOD!! A kid from kinder garden creates the algorithm from the camera??? WHAT A BAD COMPRESION!! I've never seen any worst picture quality in other camera than Sony!! (not only the phones, even the Point and Shoot cameras, EVEN the mirrorles Camera like NEX series.. Not happy? EVEN YOUR HIGH ENDS FULL FRAMES ALPHA CAMERAS!! C'MON!! What's the problem with the noise and overall quality??? I can't believe that Samsung and other brands uses the same sensor image, YOUR OWN SENSOR and your quality is SO D*MN BAD!! Just fire all your image engineers, they are comploting again Sony, take note from Canon's engineers, with a 1/2,3 sensor image, they made magnific pictures even with their SX series cameras!!
But all of this are just MINOR problems compared with my main problem.
When I charge the phone, I CAN'T TURN OFF THE SCREEN, when i try to turn it off, it automatically turns on again, until the battery charges at 100%.. when the battery is at 100% the screen automatically turns off AND NEVER turns on again.. i can receive calls (but cannot answer) can even connect the phone to the PC, and it's recognized for the PC Companion, but the screen is completely off... I cannot even "turn it on", I must open the SIM storage and press the Red button to turn off the phone, and after that turn it on again with the ON/OFF button to make it "revive". Yes, this is not a random problem, I have to do this EVERY MORNING AFTER CHARGING MY PHONE.
Thank you very much Sony, you win the Record Guinness of the WORST PHONE IN THE WORLD.
P.S: I forgot to mention, the camera sometimes crashes and have an error message when I try to open the Camera APP.
P.S 2: My phone it's not an isolate phone, i've reading in the Sony's forum, and people from all over the world have the same problems.
P.S 3: I've Android 4.4.2 (And sorry if my english is not the best, at least i bet it's better than your picture algorithm)

Sorry for post again... This is for the people of Sony... All the things that I said before.. it's with NO offense, (i feel ofended for paying more than 500$ for something that doesn't work).
This is an ALERT message for Sony, OPEN YOUR EYES!! YOU HAVE GOLD IN YOUR HAND AND YOU ARE WASTING IT.
I'm a Sony lover, and all the things that i said, is directly for the Sony's people, to make better product, I've Sony's phone for YEARS!! K300, W810, K850, some digital cameras W series... Now a high end phone like the Z1 Compact, and i'm dissapointed to see how Sony was a great brand, and now are producing a VERY bad quality products, any chinese unbranded digital camera or generic phone can produce better products.. I don't think that you are unknown about what i'm trying to say with the "algorithm of the picture".. I'm looking in google, and just comparing.
Look at this picture taken with a Sony HX50 Digital camera.. IF YOU CAN SEE AT LEAST 1 HAIR OF THIS DOG, I'LL DONATE 1 BILLION DOLLARS FOR SONY, because all that I can see is a picture like a "plastic dog", and this picture is taken JUST WITH ISO 320 IN A SUNNY DAY http://www.magezinepublishing.com/equipment/images/equipment/Cybershot-HX50-5162/highres/sony-cybers...
Compare with this picture from the direct competition Canon SX280 with ISO 400.
http://www.magezinepublishing.com/equipment/images/equipment/PowerShot-SX280-HS-5143/highres/Canon-P...
Be honest and tell me where you can see more details, in the dog, or in the bird??
Someone just can say "IF YOU DON'T LIKE SONY, JUST BUY A CANON CAMERA", but that's the reason because i'm writing all this.. BECAUSE I LOVE THE SONY PRODUCTS, AND I WANT TO BUY SOMETHING WITH QUALITY FROM SONY!
C'mon guys! You can do it much better!
The picture quality improvement is a MUST DO for Sony, I don't care if your cameras have 2, 20 or 100 megapixels. My old phone Sony W810 with 2 mpx can take better pictures than this piece of garbage that you are trying to sell right now.
But the problems with the vibrations, the sound from the ear speakers, my screen and my whole USELESS phone IS UNFORGIVABLE.
Take note and DISMISS YOUR WHOLE BIONZ DEPARTMENT (If they are doing your image processions). And for the next time, do 10.000 tests before launching a phone with all those physical and softwares problems. You have the same problem with the launching of the PS3, and now with the PS4.
C'mon Sony! I love your products, I'm a Sony buyer for more than 10 years, but you're disappointing to all your loyal customers with all this.
If the moderator who read this message cares about Sony, please REPLY this message to the head of Sony. Just search in google what the people says about Sony's picture quality! Open your eyes if you don't want to fall. Today you are losing a LOYAL customer, tomorrow you can lose thousands.
