Oh and it has nothing to do with your provider, you could use this app even if you didn't have a provider but had access to WiFi.
That's very odd. I too have the optimus v and although I have small problems here and there I have never had the problem you are describing. Out of curiosity is your V brand new and what version of Android OS are you running. Mine has 2.2.1 so enabling the wifi lock in Groove is pointless. Accept calls on answer maybe? Sorry I couldn't be of more help.So I just bought this app yesterday off android market. Virgin mobile Optimus v. App installed fine.
I am able to receive calls and dial out without issue. Person cannot hear me and i cannot hear them, the call drops almost instantly too usually within 1-3 seconds.. tried 3g/4g only.. tried turning on audio routing ..high perf wifi lock....still the same issue.
Tried two different wifi networks&routers..and just on my 3g only..same thing.
No issues dialing or answering. Just drops right away and signs out.
I do have it set in google voice to gchat only as well.
What else could I try? Anyone have similar issues?

Will this also work in other countries? I am sure I can find WiFi almost anywhere I travel.That is correct. You download the app setup and setup a few basic options on Groove IP. You need a google voice account and need to forward the calls to Google Chat and not your cell. Someone calls your Google Voice number and it sends it through to your cell phone so that it rings just like if someone was calling your cell number. To make calls you select Groove IP instead of mobile network when it gives you that option. It's that simple. Calls are perfect on WiFi with a good signal and OK on 3G but there is a slight delay with 3G. The only thing that sucks is you are using a different number then your cell but its well worth it.

Hello, I have been having some issues getting this to work on a Rooted Droid1, running CushtoPush, a CM7 based rom. ver. 2.3.5. I have the voice # and its only forwarded to Google Chat. Groove connects fine and is always connected until I try calling out or recieving a call. When any of these actions are taking place, Groove will disconnect with in 3 seconds and then will sign back in. This process happens on incoming and outgoing calls.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
*Through Desktop PC I am signed out of everything from chat/voice and emails. Emails on phone are setup for push. Google Talk on phone is logged out as well.(I have tried this both on and off.) I know that I can't sign out of voice on phone or I will be forced to re configure.
Thanks

Thank you. I will give it a try tonight and report back with my progress.
Thanks again.
No problem. Let me know if you need anything else or have any other questions.
Do you have any plans to include a server that can compress the audio stream between google and groove ip? Similar to what one of the google voice clients for the iphone does (I can't remember the name of the app off the top of my head, but I am sure I can find it if you want).
This would greatly enhance 3g calling quality.
I have noticed on my nexus s that if the wifi connection drops (even if it immediately reconnects), groove ip drops the current call, and reconnects itself.
I tried the same thing with csipsimple, and I noticed when my device disconnected, as long as it quickly reconnected (which it always seems to do), the call doesn't drop at all, and continues on fine.
My room is a decent distance from the wifi router, and my connections seems to be semi-spotty. Is there anything you can do here? I have tried everything I could on my end to get a good connection, but I have run out of options, and may have to switch to a sip provider instead.
There's really not anything you can set in the app. I can take a look and see if there is something we can change.
