Google Voice - One short ring, then pause, then rings normally
jimates:
What is the action of your other forwarding phone from google voice? Normally once the call comes into google the google voicemail picks up after 25 seconds. With a 15 second delay at the Obi I would think the call should go to voicemail before you answer it after it starts ringing again, unless you pick up immediately.
If you don't pick up after the ringing resumes what happens?
ryanschwartz:
I have my other forwarding phone in google voice disabled. The forward to chat is the only forwarding 'phone' checked/enabled. The call timer on my test phone typically shows 18-20 seconds call time before the OBi starts ringing normally, so yes it's a small window.
I've reset the settings to factory defaults and done the google voice setup twice, same problem. Frustrating. :(
jimates:
I would enable another forwarding phone to see if both receive the same results. Also since the Obi imitates gmail chat I would disable the Obi and see what reaction an incoming call gives in gmail.
Is this a new google voice number, or was it working OK prior to the introduction of the obi.
ryanschwartz:
Ok, that was a good suggestion. What happens when I'm signed in to Gmail/Chat when I call the number with the OBi disabled is this: The Call popup appears right away (when the half ring would sound) and then there's the same delay before the actual incoming call prompt appears in Gmail/Chat to answer. If I leave the Call popup open and call again, there's a short blip of the incoming call prompt, then the delay, then it shows up.
So what I've tracked it down to is this: calling the google voice number from my Vonage phone, I get the short blip ring, then the delay. Calling from another cellphone, no delay. Confirmed with a second non-Vonage number as well - no delay, normal ringing pattern.
This sounds like something on the Google Voice side, since it only happens with a particular incoming number/provider (Vonage). Maybe someone with an OBi hooked up to a GV account would be willing to PM me your number so I can confirm this same behavior with my Vonage line calling your OBi/GV ?
