What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
00-12pre3 - Nexus 2.2

Please provide any additional information below.
If registration fails for whatever reason it should retry after a set time, say every 10 seconds for one minute and then every minute after that, and immediately if network changes.

Would prefer not to miss any calls if I can help it.

Cheers.

By default, registration retries after 300 seconds (5minutes). It's the default value from the sip stack but can be configured.
An option has to be add in account settings to set this value (at least in expert mode).

Besides if network changes, there is also something that launch a re-register - it is also useful since it renew your registration when IP change.
Let me know if it's not the case for you, but should be.

Might be a different problem.  Sometimes when I go to make a call after a while, it says "not added" in the dial list preventing an outgoing call, although the registered notification is active.

I would argue that the retry for mobile devices should be lower than their desktop counterparts as mobile connections are generally less reliable.

Thanks.

I have also expreienced this. Sometimes when I go to make a call all CSipSimple accounts are grey (ie cannot be selected) even though it is registered. Pressing the back button then attempting the call again shows it as green (ie selectable).

When the app is up and idle for a while (hours?), not only first attempt to call shows CSipSimple accounts grey until I hit "Back" and retry, but also incoming calls are diverted to voicemail which means the server thinks that the agent is not registered. I use asterisk for the server, hardware is HTC Desire, Android 2.1, CSipSimple "pre3" apk.

[r147] (unreleased as of now) has expanded error reporting for account status, including a separate registration timeout error message. So you will be able to tell in the next release. This does not fix the issue, it just gives you positive feedback on an unregistered account (you have to show the accounts list).

I think there are two distinct problems mentioned that are unrelated to the originally reported one:
1. Loss of registration - I think as of 0.12, things are better in this respect, i.e. there are now less cases when the call is diverted to voicemail despite the handset is on and connected.
2. Account greyed out when you are trying to call, becoming OK when you press "back" and tap the number again - this looks like a mere UI glitch to me.

Well as we've seen yesterday, in another issue, sounds ok in respect with original issue.
Sounds the keep alive interval is too important under some conditions. We should probably tune it a little bit better to ensure each network configuration is ok regarding the default value. As it has an impact on battery usage should be done in accordance to a lot of tests. So will wait for more feedback when in beta to adapt this value.

For greyed accounts when trying to call, it should be totally fixed now. I've also added a button in the list to try to re-register if needed.
