1. Haven't found the exact cause yet but csipsimple loses registration from time to time. I noticed that after downloading something from the market or going on youtube the app loses registration.
2. Does not re-register after losing registration. When I check the settings. It says timeout error. Only way to re-register is to go into settings and change something then save again. Could the app not check if it's registered and then try to reset the parameters and re-register?
3. Sometimes when on wifi the DSL connection goes down but wifi is still up. In this case csip loses the registration but can't re-register on wifi because DSL is down. Why not switch to 3g at this point. I.e. have a failsafe registration mode. If app can't register or re-register on wifi, try 3g (if allowed) and vice versa.

For point 1 : is lock wifi enabled on csipsimple settings?
For point 2 : re-registration is done once directly after the registration loss and then each 5 minutes if you are in 'Always available mode' (of course). (P.S. : did you try just to deactivate/reactivate account, that's easier than going in settings and pressing back (and that only does an unregister while settings and back restart all the sip stack).
For point 3: unfortunately, on android, we don't choose which connection type we use. And we can't stop wifi. We can know what connection we are currently using but that's android os that choose the data connection. (And besides, when you are using wifi, 3G is automatically cut => 3G and WIFI can't live at the same time). As consequence there is nothing I can do for your issue. But all android apps are affected the same way than me : you'll not receive mail, you'll not be able to use gtalk...
For point 1 & 2, if you can produce some logs could be interesting for me to see exactly what is happening (there is a wiki page about how to produce logs).

1. Yes. Lock wifi is enabled.
2. I'll see what I can do about the logs. Enable always on mobile data seems to reduce the registration loss. Maybe the re-registration has to be done different to overcome the timeout error.
3. Why can't you stop wifi? There are many apps that do just that. So if you are on wifi and the registration fails just switch it off and the phone will re-register on 3g. Just a thought.

3. You're right... But for most users I'm not sure it would be good idea : there is users that are not allowed to use 3G for Voip, the problem can come from the sip server, if there is another app that is downloading using wifi you'll break the download...
So as a default implementation I don't think cutting wifi is a good idea. However, it can be envisaged as an option for users (like you) that have an unstable wifi connection. But for now I'm more interested in doing it stable at least when condition are favorable (and as you noticed that's not always the case... the app is still in alpha developement ;) ). Once things will be fine when connections are stable, we will be able to build on the top of solid foundations.

I think cutting off wifi on one app's whim is unacceptable.
(But, for those who really need this functionality, they could develop a separate application that would periodically check Internet connectivity and turn wifi off or on according to some policy.)

If csipsimple is configured to allow incoming calls it has to maintain registration 24/7 which means its the primary app on the phone for connectivity. If csipsimple is connected via wifi and notices that something is wrong with the wifi connection, i.e. the DSL modem has lost DSL and sip loses registration then the wifi connection is obviously down and it makes no sense to maintain it at that point. You switch to 3g to re-register and check wifi every 15 minutes or so if the connection is back up. I don't is this can be coded but it's what I do manually when wifi Internet is down. An easy way to turn off wifi is the app Quick Settings.

I believe it would make sense to wait 30 seconds before attempting re-registration since I tried manually to deactivate/reactivate account and it does not work unless I wait about 30 seconds in between registration attempts.

i'm experiencing registration loss almost every day, and it's mostly annoying bug.
i've csipsimple configured to use wifi on incoming calls.
and sometimes (few times during a working day) it loses the registration, and keeps saying, that no network available.
meanwhile, wifi is up, and all other application use it without any visible problem.
the matter, is that i haven't found any way to make it connect from the csipsimple app.
including reconfiguring network settings, account, kill/restart app and even account delete/recreate.
the only way to get it to work - disable wifi (yes, system wide), and turn it on again.
i can provide any additional information needed.
this bug is on any version is i can remember and till the nightlies, which i now use.
h/w is an HTC Desire, stock ROM, as well as a cyanogen 6, and cm7 dev.

@mrozents : You should try latest dev version. Things should be really better right now. http://nightlies.csipsimple.com/trunk/
Besides if you really want to be always available, in addition to CSipSimple settings to have "Lock wifi" (if you have 3g deactivated, it's automatically done if you choose "Always Available"); so in addition to that, you should change your device wifi sleep policy.
To do so; in *android* settings, in wifi settings, press menu and advanced setting. In sleep policy choose "Never".
As consequence even if wifi goes down (and if so CSipSimple release the wifi lock to avoid battery drain), the android system will continue to scan and retry to connect wifi even if screen is off.
Status: NextRelease

yes, I use nightly builds and update every day.
also "never" sleep policy is always set up.
I'm still not sure, what the " lock wifi" option is, so I've just set "always available" and will look forward.

got twice for these 2 days, and last time on latest #595 build just now.
as always - keep saying no networks available, and only switching wifi "off" and "on" on device helps to get it working :(
settings:"always available", not allowed to use mobile.
wifi sleep policy: never.

well, this problem is due at least not only csipsimple, but also kernel, as it seems now.
when i have "network is unavailable" in csipsimple, i also can't make any download through a browser.
the downloads app is just stuck, and does nothing in that case.
But just with two exceptions, all other app, sync, browsers, resolve, ping/telnet in terminal etc. have an internet access and continue to work just fine.
Can I suppose, that csipsimple and downloads app use some api, not as common, unlike others do? And which got stuck from time to time in kernel for unknown reason.

below is how it looks in logs:

E/SIP SRV ( 9989): Not able to start sip stack
I/ActivityManager( 165): Displayed com.csipsimple/.ui.SipHome: +568ms
now things in cm7 nightlies has really changed: it continues to work, and even allows you to disable account and reenable it again/ but keeps popping up with "no network available"
