CANCEL request from Android SIP demo ignored by Asterisk 1.8

Question

I am facing a strange problem when using the standard Android SIP Demo in combination with an asterisk 1.8.9.2 server: incoming / outgoing calls are working correctly, but there is one thing not working: when I launch a call from the SIP demo and I close the call again (hitting the "End current call" button), the call is terminated in the SIP demo, but the called device still keeps ringing. I have tried to check what's happening by logging the telegrams via Wireshark and it seems that the CANCEL telegram from the SIP demo to the asterisk server is not accepted, take a look: ``` 300 08:30:39.483913 130.10.0.102 192.168.0.110 SIP/SDP 916 Request: INVITE sip:110@192.168.0.110:5060, with session description 301 08:30:39.488686 192.168.0.110 130.10.0.102 SIP 525 Status: 100 Trying 302 08:30:39.524884 192.168.0.110 130.10.0.102 SIP 541 Status: 180 Ringing 309 08:30:41.041071 130.10.0.102 192.168.0.110 SIP 370 Request: CANCEL sip:110@192.168.0.110:5060 310 08:30:41.051545 192.168.0.110 130.1…

Accepted Answer

I was facing exactly same problem with Asterisk 1.8.11.0 and Android 2.3/4.0.3. There is a simple solution for this problem under the 'general' section of sip.conf file add following attribute with value equals to no.

```
[general]

.
pedantic=no 
```

I hope it will also work for you.....
