Obi202 Static when switching back back to original caller after call waiting
flamaest@gmail.com:
Quick update,
I can say that with this 2nd power supply, the issue is happening about 80% less than usual. I usually have about the same amount of phone calls throughout the day.
This issue has historically been happening for me for about 6 months, making me have to restart the OBI200 unit about five times a day.
I now only have to restart it about once a day. Then again, it might just be good luck.

Edit: so I changed my flash button timing on my Panasonic cordless phone from 700ms to 400ms and it been working fine now.
Edit: Issue is still sporadic but it works at least half the time now.
Changing the power supply worked for me as well! My original was a 12v DC 1 amp and I just switched it with an old netgear router PS that is 12v DC 1.5 amp. I have the obi 202 and it worked fine for a long time and about 6 months ago the loud static crap started.
Thank you so much for this fix!! Been way to long with call waiting and 3 way calling not working.
Obi/Poly, step up your power supply game! and tell your customers to replace the power supply. Better yet, send them a new power supply.
Thanks again!!

I tried swapping for a 2A power supply and got static on my first call. My situation may be a bit different because I get static when my call first connects to a one person that uses Comcast phone service.

Yes, I also still get this issue when calling a specific conf-line from certain service providers, even after using the new power supply. There must be some signal or timing being sent to the OBI unit which is does not like and causes it to transmit static back into our ears. I can confirm the other side of the call can still hear me OK, but I cannot hear them, so I have to hang up.
Sadly, I can reproduce this exact issue about 90% of the time to these specific phone numbers.
The one saving grace with the new power supply, is that I used to get static after being a long phone call , like 20 minutes+, out of nowhere to all kinds of phone numbers. This only happens rarely now.

One thing I've found that works 100% of the time is starting the call from Google Voice and not dialing it. Sadly, I'm not able to select my Obi line directly any more. The only reason I can still do this is because I have one GV number forwarded to another from back when it was still a regular land line.
