Sipdroid/wifi/3G going to sleep?

[Lewis Diamond]

I seem to never be able to get calls, people are almost always sent to
voicemail directly. When testing with other clients such as X-Lite,
there is no problem.

With Sipdroid, if I leave my cellphone on all night (plugged in), in
the morning, people calling me are sent straight to voicemail (unless
I wake up the phone). In the settings, I did set the Wifi sleep policy
to never, but after a while, it still seems to disconnect (but it does
not actually deregister, which is another problem when changing SIP
settings too).

The problem is worse on 3G. Whenever my cellphone falls to 3G, only a
few minutes without touching it and I am unable to receive calls on
it. Again, it will not deregister from the server. I also sometimes
have to exit sipdroid and start it again for it to work when waking up
the phone.

Note: I have a Google Nexus One with Android 2.1-update1 kermel
v2.6.29-01117-g4bc62c build EPE54B, the phone is not rooted and I am
not running much on it besides sipdroid.

Thanks!

After testing more on wifi, it seems to be on an off for some
reason... Could it be the keep alive that is not fast enough?

i can confirm this. after a short period of time or after receiving a
call
sipdroid wont receive the next call even though the connection status
indicator is set to green. using nexus one, android 2.2 froyo.

I have the same problem.

Me too! I have a cyangogen5/G1 with no data plan, that I want to use
via wifi only with a cisco callmanager. It makes/receives the calls
fine, until it goes to sleep. Then I receive no calls till I wake it
up. I also duplicated on my droid/w 2.1. I tried changing from udp to
tcp, and I have turned off all the power management on wifi that I
could find.

anyone that has an idea would be appreciated!

Ok, here's my solution and it seems to be working for the past few hours on my rooted droid x with all the latest stock stuff:

1. I have set the battery prefs to full optimal. 

2. I have uninstalled all of my task killers and restarted.

3. If you want to use wifi set it it to "never sleep" (This is in the sub menu in wifi settings! Go to Wifi settings, then hit the settings button again.)

4. Set data manager to "Data Enabled"

Since I did all of these things, I'm not sure which one was the cure.I think they are all important but I'm pretty sure it was the task killer that was causing the main problem. I'm actually not burning a lot more battery than I was before but if you want to keep killing tasks, i suppose you can delve into trying to figure out WHICH task needs to be kept alive if you want or you can make sure it isn't killing tasks when you lock the screen as some task killers do.

I'm surprised the geeks over at Sipdroid haven't been on this. Maybe there will be a fix in the next update.
