Hi,
I have a OBI110 and I upgraded the firmware to the latest one 2 weeks ago. Since then, when I pick up the phone, the dial tone comes on only after 7 seconds! The phone is silent till then. I have timed it consistently and every time it takes 6-7 seconds.
In addition, when I have an inbound call and I pick up the phone, I hear nothing for 3 seconds, after which I can start hearing the other party. Through multiple trials, including asking the other party, I have found that during that 3 second silence at my end, the other end continues to hear the bell ring.
Effectively, for outbound calls I now have a 7 second delay and for inbound calls I have a 3 second delay, at the start of every call.
Finally, one new strange behavior is that for automated messaging systems (like Google Voice), sometimes the dial tones are not being recognized. I have to press the numbers either multiple times or keep the same number pressed for a long time.
Can somebody please provide a solution?
Please help. The entire family is very frustrated with using Obi, over the last 2 weeks. It is just driving us nuts.
