Obi/Google Voice disconnecting overnight
Mango:
Once again, I'm reminded of why I still use 1.3.0 (Build: 2824) and only ever configure my device locally.
My Google Voice and SIP services continue to operate, trouble-free.

Double that. Even I'm still on that version without any issues. There is no way it will auto-upgrade, right?

You're a fool. That's a security exposure. Just update the firmware and get on with life.

What do you mean by security exposure? Any links to refer?

Your device's downlevel firmware still contains your Google account's user ID and password, and it's directly logging into your Google Voice account. This method was banned by Google back in 2013, and was the reason that Obihai had to stop supporting Google Voice until they updated their firmware to comply with Google's security requirements.
The current firmware uses the OAUTH 2.0 protocol to exchange secure tokens with Google, which only grants permission to certain limited services on your account -- in this case, Google Chat. The OBiTALK web portal and the OBi devices never store your Google login credentials.
There is no legitimate reason to continue using the old login method.
