Obi100 Started Working Again. Anyone Else?
azrobert:
My OBi110 is an extra box that I normally have powered off. This morning I powered it on to see if GV was still working. The phone LED seemed to be off for a longer time than normal, so I logged in and checked the GV status. It was Backing Off. After a few seconds the LED turned on. I checked the status again and it was Connected. It's like the OBi110 tried to connect to a server that only accepted the new certificate, failed and then was re-routed to a server that accepted the old certificate. Is this normal behavior? Did Google install a fix for the OB100/110? Probably wishful thinking.
I tried to reproduce the above by rebooting, but GV immediately connected. I did reproduce the above by powering off for a few minutes then powering on.

Ditto, more or less for me too.

The same is happening here. The middle green light blinks for a while before finally connecting. It didn't do that initially so it could be google made a change to allow the OBi100 boxes to keep working for a while with older certificates.

My 100 is still working today, it's been several days now...

As I have posted elsewhere, here is what is happening:
Google has a very large number of XMPP servers spread across many US data centers for load balancing, and to connect users to the closest working server. It is taking them a long time to update the servers. There is currently a year-end change freeze in place, so no updates are being done. It is entirely possible that one or more servers were previously taken offline for hardware failures, repaired, restored with an older image, and put back online.
It really, truly is pointless to look at this as any sort of death-row-sentence reprieve, or to speculate on whether or not you will be able to continue to use the 100/110 products directly with Google Voice. The devices will stop working eventually.
I am not guessing or speculating on this. It is based on my conversation with a Google Voice software engineer yesterday.
