Many of you would have noticed that at times when you open a packet capture containing RTP from voice calls than there are many RTP packets which are appearing as UDP, Wireshark was not able to detect the UDP payload as RTP
If you right click on any such packet and select ‘decode as’ RTP than wireshark correctly detects packets as RTP streams, however if you have like 100 undetected streams in a capture than it becomes a headache to manually do this step for every stream

Decode and Play G729 on Windows
Wireshark has a very nice feature that lets you play and listen to G711 streams present in a captured traffic dump file, unfortunately Wirehsark is not able to directly decode G729
However, you can still manage to play and listen to the G729 stream by using the following steps
1) Open the capture file using wireshark
2) Go to Telephony > RTP > Show all streams
3) That will open up a windows listing all detected RTP streams, click on any stream
And select analyze
4) On the next windows click on ‘Save Payload” let the format be as ‘raw’, lets name the file as ‘stream.raw’

If you make frequent calls to other states and even other countries, you may wish to look into an Unlimited Long Distance plan. Some service packages are made for residential locations as well, and can even have a secondary package for home-based businesses. Others are corporate in nature and can reduce Unlimited Long Distance phone bills for businesses by 70 to 80 percent.
There are a few opportunities for businesses and companies that constantly call long distance every day of the week. For example, a phone company may charge a flat fee to telecommunications companies and any business that uses an auto dialing system as payment for Unlimited Long Distance calls. However, these plans are usually for high-volume, multiple-operator companies and not for individuals or individual offices that make a few Unlimited Long Distance calls a day.

SMS Preview App lets you to preview the new SMS messages that you have just received, basically is just flashes the text of new SMS on your screen for sometime
However, SMS preview app is not working on E-72 as per desgin and instead of making your life easier, it is making it worse
When the new SMS flashes on your screen, SMS preview just locks the screen and pushing any button does not make it good away, if your phone locked than you are even not able to unlock it and it gets really annoying
I hope the developers fix this problem in next update, most of the SMS are very short and there is no point in occupying the screen for long intervals of time!
If you have installed the Google Mobile Search utility on your mobile phone than you would have noticed the message “Press ‘c’ to search” on your screen.
Now, just like you, I also though that the ‘c’ means what it says, but no,
The ‘c’ does not mean the character ‘c’ on your keypad; neither does it means that you press the space bar or the middle button of your mobile phone
The ‘c’ here, stands for clear, so you have to press the backspace (or the key by which you delete typed characters) key on you keypad to activate the Google Search.
So just the other day I installed Fring on my Nokia E-72 and it worked like a charm
than I wanted to have a go with Skype and installed the newly released Skype for Symbian 1.0, Sykpe also worked out of the box
but guess what, after installing Skype Fring stopped working, it was working for chat etc and application was running allowing me log in but there was no audio when I made calls
I removed and reinstalled Fring and again Fring Started working, but now Skype got corrupt and reached same situation as was Fring, Skype was connecting to the Skype network but was unable to make calls and there was no voice.
So it turned out that there is a component VoIPSrv which both Skype and Fring Use and it is also installed at the time of installation of Skype or Fring
Skype uses the older version of component i.e. VoIPsrv 1.0 while Fring Uses the new VoIPSrv 2.0, now only one version of this component can be installed on the phone at one time as both Fring and Skype require different versions so one of them won’t work
either you can have Skype or Fring.
I decided to stick with Fring as it does allow you to have the Skpye conversations so there is no special need of having a dedicated Skype Client Software on Nokia Sybmian Phones
After I was able to register my VoIP Number on Nokia E-72 I was faced with another daunting task
The VoIP Service won’t disconnect!!! I was not able to de-register, delete, change or edit my SIP/VoIP Profile. whatever if tired to do I kept getting the message that “Unable to edit. Profile currently in use” and there was no option of disconnecting over all the VoIP and SIP setting Menus

You might have a DSL modem and router and wireless access point integrated as one single unit.
This ADSL wireless router is meant connect to the internet via DSL and at the same time provides you wireless connectivity. If you don’t want to use your DSL connection but have some other means of connecting to the internet like Cable or WiMax than the situation can become a bit tricky and these devices might not always work.
Anyway here is the procedure which can be used to connect a TP Link Wireless ADSL2+ Route TD-W8910G to a external WAN.

WARNING
If you just purchased your Nokia E-72 and are trying to use its in built VoIP application and from Control Panel > Settings > Connections > SIP settings
Than rest assured that it won’t Work
To get VoIP working You need to download and install SIP VoIP Settings Application from Nokia Website .
This application can be downloaded from http://www.forum.nokia.com/Tools_Docs_and_Code/Tools/Plug-ins/Enablers/SIP_VoIP_Settings_application.xhtml And you will have to register prior to downloading, to save you from this trouble I have also attached a copy of this application at the end of this post
I was really amazed, shocked and angry when I found out that E-72 does not come with an out of the box VoIP client, after all E-72 is the Nokia’s Flag ship mobile for Business Customers and VoIP is a very basic requirement of such phones.
Nokia really made it really confusing, if the built-in SIP Profile application does not work than why did they include it in Phone, so that everyone’s wastes an hours trying to get their VoIP Numbers registered ?
Please note the 3.1 version is for Symbian devices (S60 5.x) touch screen mobiles and does not work with E-72, I have tested version 3.x which is for S60 3rd edition phones and it is working fine as E-72 which is also carries the Symbian 3rd Edition OS.
After installation you will need to go to Control Panel > Net Settings > Advanced VOIP Settings to configure the VoIP (Note these setting will only appear AFTER you install the VoIP Settings Application 3.x)
Following is the link to directly download SIP VoIP settings App
