Changed Google Voice Password, can't configure Obi
SteveInWA:
Look at the OBiTALK main "dashboard" page, where you should see your OBi device listed. What color is the dot next to it, green or grey? If it's grey, then you have a problem. If it's green, then the "offline" warning is bogus. If you are red/green colorblind, then get somebody else to look at it ;D .
On the OBi's local webpage (IP address), look at System Management-->Auto Provisioning. Have you disabled Auto Firmware Update and/or OBiTALK Provisioning? If so, re-enable them to "Periodically", power-cycle the device, wait a few minutes, and then try the Google Voice procedure again.

After my last reply I went to bed and when I got up this morning I was able to click on SP1 and complete the Google Voice configuration process. Everything worked fine. When I got to the spinner I just let it run while I went and did something else and when I returned I had a message saying everything was successful. I then reloaded the page and everything is working. I can't Thank You enough for all of your help!!!

OK, thanks. It's still not 100% clear what is happening, but my guess is that you previously set up your OBi to use Google Voice before Google and Obihai changed the authentication method used for the service.
Go to this link to download the latest firmware for the OBi 1xx series: http://fw.obihai.com/OBi-latest.fwFind the IP address of your OBi device: pick up the attached telephone, press ***1, and listen for the IP address.Open a web browser tab and go to that address. If you haven't changed the OBi's own password, then it's admin/admin. Otherwise, enter your device password. Note: this is not necessarily the same as the password you used for the OBiTALK portal.Go to System Management-->Device Update-->Firmware Update, and click the Choose File button. Point it to the .fw file you downloaded in the step above, then click the Update button to begin the update. Watch the LEDs on your OBi, and wait a few minutes. After the LEDs stop blinking, the update is complete (the network LED will continue to flicker; that's normal).Log into the OBiTALK portal again. Delete your existing Google Voice (SP1) configuration if possible. If it just sends you into a loop, you will have to factory-reset the OBi.Leaving that browser tab open, press Ctrl-T to open another browser tab. Log into your Google Voice account, and examine the left column of the page, to make sure you see the exact two words "Your number" and your GV phone number, to verify that you are using the correct Google account. Leave this tab open.Back on the OBiTALK portal page, click the SP1 link to configure Google Voice, and follow the instructions. The new method will take you to your Google account, where Google will ask your permission for OBiTALK to access the Chat service on that Google account. It will not ask for, nor store, your Google password. Allow the permission.Let the procedure finish. It will eventually take you to a page, showing a "configuring" message with a progress "spinner". There's a bug that leaves it spinning indefinitely. Just give it a few minutes, watch your OBi's LEDs, and when they stabilize again, refresh the web page. You should now see a status of "Connected". You're done. Give it a try.
Steve, this guide was great. I was unable to add my new Google password on my Obi110. I followed your steps and was able to update my firmware as well as update my Google voice password! Thanks and Wish you and your family a Wonderful Holiday Season and a New Year full of Happiness and Health.

1/8/15 I changed my google pw and then could not use google voice. When trying to make an outgoing call, a recording stated to change pw at obitalk. The successful solution was pretty simple: I logged into obitalk using the obi login...NOT using login via google. A popup message then provided the steps for me to re-authorize the share data link between google and obi.
