Flashing red logo

[JLI]

The problem happens again with the new power adapter!

When picking up the phone (either try to make a call or try to answer a call), the Ooma Hub immediately REBOOT, and then the flashing the red logo with "1" & "2" in red consistently, around 1 minutes later, the logo come back to Blue; picking up again the phone and then Ooma Hub reboots again....

Does anyone can help on this problem?

Thank you in advance.

The Ooma Hub may be on it's last legs?

Try a factory reset of the Hub:

Hub and/or Scout factory reset sequence:

1) Remove the power for the Ooma device.
2) Hold down the Ooma tab [blue light] and connect the power. Hold for 30 seconds until all the lights start flashing.

Once the lights stop flashing, release the Ooma tab and the device will reset to factory settings.

I noticed that some people say they have to do the reset several times in a row before they have success for the problem that they are having.

Tried ten more times, unfortunately it does not work - same problem continually happen: Reboot always upon picking up the phone.

What happens on my Ooma Hub? It purchased exact 2 years ago and worked well until recent couple of weeks.

You may have had a lightening strike power surge. Lately that has been happening to quite a few people.

I don't think there is much hope, but below is a couple other things that you can try:

For testing did you connect your Ooma Hub directly to the modem.

Also for testing try connecting a corded phone to the Ooma Hub phone port, with nothing else connected to either Ooma Hub phone ports.

Yes, the Ooma Hub directly connect to the modem and the (corded) phone directly connect to the Ooma Hub Phone port.

One last try to get this thing to wake-up correctly. With your Ooma Hub connected to one of your Router LAN ports, access Ooma setup and set your Internet connection type to Dynamic (DHCP). Click Save or Update Device. Remove power from your Modem, Router and Ooma device. Repower the Modem. When the Modem is done booting, repower your Router. When the Router is done booting, repower the Ooma Device. Then test.

Temporarily connect a network cable from the Home Port of the Ooma Hub to the wired LAN port of a computer. Temporarily turn off Wi-Fi in the computer if Wi-Fi is turned on in the computer. Reboot the computer. Type http://172.27.35.1 in the computer browser window. The Ooma Setup pages opens. Follow directions above.

Follows the procedures in above, the setup succeed, however, the same Reboot problem still always happen - as long as pick up the phone the Ooma Hub reboots. The VoiceMail can always retrieve successfully on Ooma Hub device, i.e., no reboot happens upon retrieving VoiceMail on Ooma Hub device.

There proabably is a short in the Ooma device.

Have you tried a completely different phone? Try testing with a completely different phone that you haven't tested with before.

If that doesn't work, you should be thinking about purchasing a new Ooma.

Just tried couple of other phones, the problem exists same.

Does something cause this probelem? Here has no storm etc. at all - I use it oversea for 2 years until it doesn't work couple of weeks ago.

Another question - if I purchase new Ooma, can I keep the same phone number? If so, how will I do?

Thanks again.

There has been a lot of lightening strike power surges going around this summer. Maybe that is what caused your problem? Even if you had a power surge protector strip, it still will damage the Ooma device.
