OBI 100 going to "sleep"
Mainer:
I'm using google voice. The majority of the time, when I go off hook with a phone, I get no dialtone. I have to go onhook/offhook several times before I finally get dialtone and am able to make a call.
It does this after not using for a while. I've not timed it as to how long it needs to be though. Overnight definitely, could be less.
SteveInWA:
Never a dull moment here at the OBiTALK forum, with weird bugs. I can't think of any Googley-related reason that would happen. It's likely that your OBi box or its power supply are failing.
Are you using more than one OBi device? If so, which model number(s)?
drgeoff:
If you have not already done so, try another phone before looking for a more complex cause. I've come across at least one case of a sticking hook switch which did not always activate. Just a 'mechanical' problem which was fixed by a good clean of the moving parts. Switch internals were fine.
Mainer:
Yeah, it's happening across a range of wireless phones connected to a base station so it's not a physical problem.
It's a brand new OBI-100, I just replaced a 110 that was dead (three years old) and this was happening on the old one too.
I did just try disabling the SIP ALG in my firewall (edgerouter lite), it may have been killing SIP sessions after a period of time. We'll see.

ALG and SIP sessions are totally irrelevant to the problem you describe. A powered up OBi should always give dial tone when a plugged-in phone is taken off-hook. Even without any providers registered, even without an ethernet cable plugged in never mind having a working connection to anything on your LAN or on the WAN.
That it was happening on the old 110 and now on a new 100 is a very strong hint that the cause is not the OBis.
If it isn't the OBis and you have tried more than one phone base-station, there isn't much left except the wiring between the two. Is it a short direct cable or for example via the house's phone wiring?
