It occurred to me it has been quite a while since Obihai updated my OBi100. I guess it must have achieved perfection ;D or, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
I think that the 100/110 have reached "maturity"!
At this point I would expect only security fixes. I think a lot of attention is going to the 5xx series devices. Specifically the new IP phones. The 2xx series hasn't got anything new lately either.

And one of the latest updates caused so many problems that i did not dare to update since anyway.

I remain on 3.0.1 (Build: 4142).
ModelName OBi202
giqcass, thank you for your assistance!
Not really sure how I have the newest update since all these were disabled:
System Management -> Auto Provisioning -> Auto Firmware Update -> Method : Disabled
System Management -> Auto Provisioning -> ITSP Provisioning -> Method : Disabled
System Management -> Auto Provisioning -> OBiTALK Provisioning -> Method : Disabled
Starting to believe that you do not really have control of your device.
Update:
You will not be able to downgraded a firmware once you have upgraded it. It
is always better to have the latest firmware ( a general rule of thumb) as
it contain fixes and upgrades.
Regards,
Obihai Technology
I don't know, but last night I was prompted to upgrade the firmware to build 2868, same software 1.3.0
I also noticed the Google Voice configuration was changed up a little bit.

Do you have Voice Services -> OBiTALK Service enabled?
ModelName OBi202
That should not be enabled, is that correct?
Obi is being sneaky, I have everything disabled and they keep updating my box.
Where is Ron R when we need him?
If it is enabled, it would allow Obihai to remotely upgrade your firmware.
Out of curiosity, was it enabled?
ModelName OBi202
Mine was disabled, hell everything is disabled and those sneaky xxxxxxxx updated my box and refuse to let me go back to a previous build.
Any ideas?
Does Google Voice still work - can you make Google Voice outgoing calls and do incoming calls forwarded only to Google chat still work?
Yes, my current version is:
SoftwareVersion 3.0.1 (Build: 4350)

Answer is yes for both outgoing and incoming calls on Obi110 v2.8, soft version 1.3.0 (Build: 2868) :)
Thanks for confirming the new firmware didn't break things. I have not been upgraded yet and I have noticed that using a callback to make a call with Google Talk as the number to use for the callback is broken.
My 110 is on 2824 and I haven't had any prompts to upgrade. Everything "disabled" on Auto Provisioning and I don't use the Dashboard for configuring.

I went through another setup and the prompt to upgrade the firmware ONLY shows up if you make changes to your existing GV setup, or create a new GV setup. I do all of my configuration via the dashboard, so I don't know if the minor firmware update will be available later for manual update.

I don't have GV on my 110. :) or :( ?
Well, being fearless or foolish I attempted to take a look at my GV setup on SP2 and reached an update page that was required to continue. I continued and was updated to 2868. Funny thing. I've never seen my OBi flash orange, but it did during the update. I've seen red many times, but that was the first time I remember seeing orange. Now have a woman's voice on OBi talk directory. At this point having trouble setting GV back up. More to follow.
OK, so now I see that after agreeing to terms and conditions and allowing access to email address and etc the setup for GV is more automated now. It is now working.
I have a female voice on my 110 now also. I deleted a SP, and set up a different GV #. Got the (new) GV acceptance screen also. My wife says the 202 still has the male voice.
Very interesting: I just deleted my GV number and ran through the setup again to see if that would fix the loss of MWI after installing the update and this time GV had been added to the list of approved service providers and no longer showed as just a footnote at the bottom of the page. That looks to me like GV is here to stay.
I have been wondering if the recent inability to use Gchat as a callback number (http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=8396.0) might be related to the MWI not functioning. It appears something has been changed on Googles end.
I saw the prompt to update my OBI today, but I did not do the update. I updated an old message to unread on Google voice and the MWI still seems to be working fine. I don't think any change was on Google's side.
I paid PhonePower to emulate my GV # (believing the 5/15 cutoff was actually happening) and have had choppy outbound audio ever since. Am trying to re-add the GV profile on Obi 200 but can't configure via dashboard, saying device update needed, yet it has latest FW 3.0.1 (Build: 4350). The auto-update fails each attempt via dashboard. Ideas?
Just noticed this post explaining the newer/undocumented 3-0-1-4412.fw: http://www.obitalk.com/forum/index.php?topic=8391.0 Based on comments there, am not liking where things are heading for GV/Obi...
Based on the official announcement GV
may be here a while.
