Beware with firmware 2824 for OBi1xx

I cannot make reliable comments on the veracity of your other claims but I can say that the one I quote above does not apply to my OBi110 running firmware 2824. Admittedly it does not have the InboundCallRoute set to default but rather:
{(Mbl):},{ph}
where Mbl is a user digit map containing a short list of blocked phone numbers.
While I cannot claim to have the same issue, I can say that when I upgraded firmware, I also suddenly developed issues with dropped calls. In my case, calls would suddenly go dead on GV after 30 seconds. It wouldn't hang up, it would just disconnect without each party hearing each other.
I spend sometime searching this forum and found how to extend the detect time, which I set to 5mins.
I know this wasn't a problem before the upgrade and the only thing I could think of was
A: Maybe this feature didn't work right previously and they fixed it so now it used the 30seconds correctly.
B: They messed up and reset the time to 30 secs during the upgrade.
Either way I'm always afraid of upgrades breaking something especially when my setup was already working fine.
Funny enough: This other post had the exact same issue I had. From his posts, it appears that they know this was a problem.

1. habibie asserted that "the PSTN doesn't have a CID capability" and he therefore believed that "adding {(Mbl):} will not do any good".
It seems quite obvious to me that habibie was speaking of his PSTN.
My PSTN never had caller ID. Not my PSTN installed in 1998, or the one in 1991 or any of the ones before that. I didn't want to pay for it, so I didn't have it. My OBi110 never received a number on its line port. I ported my number to Anveo, now I have caller ID (and I pay less than 10% of what I used to pay).
My parents' PSTN never had caller ID. They don't want to pay for it, so it still doesn't. They've had that number since 1971 and at first it did not even have DTMF dialing (only pulse). A few years ago they finally conceded to pay for DTMF dialing because it was "free" with DSL. Would have cost about $8 per month to get DTMF alone (they were on a grandfathered phone plan, and they had to give that up) and DTMF with DSL costs them about $28/month more than they used to pay.
My inlaws' PSTN never had caller ID. They ported to cable company VOIP and now they get caller ID.
