Hi again Huijun,

Thank you for the reply. I understand where you are coming from.

They are PoE powered. I didnt suspect about power issue as the previous 
ROM 4.0 and SIP2.2.2 worked almost with no freeze for almost a year.

When i update the SipX from 3.10.2 to 4.x stable and upload the latest 
ROM and SIP firmwares to device files-> followed by send phone profiles, 
this intermittent freezing arise.

I didn't play with the Polycom phone settings. As all phones are 330s, I 
had one phone group that contains all Polycom 330s, where i can make 
sure all of them share the same config. The config is using the defaults 
that comes with sipx except the volume persistence and 24-hour clock 
adjustments.

As i moved from one ROM+SIP version to another to see if i can get rid 
of the freezing/hanging, i start suspecting that the XML config files of 
polycoms might be corrupted.

But I am not clear on where to look and how to diagnose it. If You can 
share few pointers on how to locate and check for validity  i would very 
much appreciate.

Do You use Polycoms? If You do which ROM and SIP version proved to be 
rock-solid with latest stable Sipx 4.x ?

all the best!
