This week we have noticed that the desktop softphones are showing the wrong status in the HUD. We installed the new update (9.1.1.27091) hoping that would resolve the issue but no luck.
PS: We are on an Office Standard subscription located in Minnesota.

Yes, we are experiencing the same with the HUD not displaying extensions and park locations correctly. The only way to get it to show correctly is to log off and log back in. Not very practical to have to do that every 2-3 minutes. I too have a call in, support ticket number 0588-8858. The level 2 tech streamed into my workstation and recorded the session so they could see how the Softphone is acting. He also took lots of notes and is escalating this to level 3 support.

At this time it seems as if the issue has been resolved. The HUD is working properly now and has been for the last day and half. We are currently using version 9.1.1.27091.

I opened a support ticket at the beginning of this week and nobody has gotten back to me yet. I talked to a rep and she told me to purge, but it did not work. I called to let her know but I haven't received any response.

Hello Jayme,
I see that the agent sent you an email on 6/20 and is waiting for a response regarding if purging helped or not. You can log in and update your case by clicking the button below :)

I responded to another email that she sent and I left her a voice message. I will update the case status, but I did reach out to her in two ways.

Hi. I wanted to add to this thread as we are experiencing the same issues and have been for a while - current version on OSX/Windows is 9.2.4.27921
I keep getting told to check my network but this has been verified previously without change.
Is everyone else happy with the HUD and what it shows? because currently, as it shows people taking calls that they are not on and we can't rely on it, its pushing us towards leaving!

Hello OpenCRM,
Hmmmm....I haven't heard of this issue coming back yet. This is definitely something we need to investigate. Please open up a case with us so we can gather the debug logs, screen shots of the HUD, etc.
Feel free to reply back here with your case number so I can keep an eye on it :)

Thanks Saadet, appreciate the prompt reply. We have already had this raised as a ticket and told that it cannot be followed up because its most likely a network issue. Thank you for taking an interest but I feel a new case would get us nowhere further forward, my Q was to gauge if this was unique to us or more common as the previous community threads suggest.

I do apologize about that! There are a few things that we can do to investigate if it is the softphone itself having issues or if it is network related. If you open a case feel free to include the link to this conversation. Again, reply back here with the case number and let me know if you run into any issues so I can assist :)

We're getting this again. Last time I opened a case I was instructed to perform an intensive inspection of our networks/firewalls/Qos which all fell into acceptable levels according to the RC guides. I was then told by a tech that the HUD on the softphone wasn't designed to be used to tell if someone was on the phone or not? I've been extremely displeased with the lack of effort from RC support in fixing what I would think is an integral part of their application.
And if, in fact, the HUD is not to be used to monitor who is on the phone, then what good is it? Not happy. Not happy at all.

So your tech team can blame my network again and tell me that I'm trying to use the software in a fashion for which it was not designed?

@Patrick - Thank you for your insights. I have to be honest and say that my experience is similar to yours, our network needed verification [which it did fine] even though the problem follows us everywhere we go, so not specific to our main office.
@Saadet - The problem is that every time we open a ticket the first few conversations are less about the technical issues but more about convincing the tech that there is a problem in the first place. Sadly in a sea of pretty good customer support this one issue has left me so jaded that I can't spare anymore time persuading 1st line tech to escalate it up to someone who has the time and resources to offer a considered opinion.
My reason for asking was because, after speaking to tech support, I thought I was the only one who had this problem, I am actually and perversely quite relieved that I am not!

If I may, I'll add to this as well. This has been an ongoing issue with our phones and after having this issue get to Tier 3 support, the issue has been acknowledged and will be fixed (lets hope!) with version 9.3, due to be released sometime in October. Please refer to case number 06065930 (started August 9th) for all the details regarding this.

@Daniel that’s really good news, certainly worth awaiting the update before investing too much of everyone’s time.
@Saadet lets just close this ticket for now with a view to getting the update and then assess from there. You don’t need multiple investigations on the same issue with hopefully an identified issue and potential resolution.

No worries, Graham. What I'll do is have your ticket escalated to Product so that when this issue is resolved you will receive an update on it via email :)

One small caveat, I have been told that what we asked to be changed would not resolve our problem, but ......
When we set up our RC account we were given a local RC assigned telephone number.
Once up and running we ported in our main telephone number.
Up until Thursday last week the RC assigned number was set as our ‘primary’ number when we looked in the control panel and our ported number was listed as an ‘additional’ number.
I asked for these to be switched.
Because the numbers had flipped I also, manually went through the extensions, only 22 so pretty doable, to reset and save the Outbound CLi for each user.
Since a reboot of each users phones the HUD has worked without problem. No more inbound calls showing up as ringing that actually came in 2 hours ago OR calls showing as active on one extension which are actually speaking to someone else entirely.
Good luck if this helps, I will keep you informed if anything materialises of interest.

Daniel, that is great news.
My solution seems to have helped but some users still reporting quirks, I have asked how we get 9.3.3 - did you get the update through support or was this a normal upgrade through the application ?

Hello OpenCRM,
The desktop app should update normally soon. However, if you'd like to get the update a little sooner feel free to contact support and request a link for the 9.3 download :)
