Is there some way to force media-hub to get stuck in this way? Or even better, perhaps write a test application that observes telepathy and deliberately fails to confirm. Then I could check that the results are the same as what I was seeing.
"telepathy by design won't forward the incoming call to the approver ... until all observers confirm receiving the incoming channel" This means that a rogue application can block incoming calls by simply observing telepathy? That doesn't seem like a good design. In particular, media-hub is a very complicated piece of engineering with innumerable dependencies on other software and the wider network, and whose requirements are constantly in flux. Answering phone calls is so important, media hub should be treated as if it was actively malicious rather than depended on for cooperation. That said though, in my case I did see the approver (I assume that means the green/red slider answer call widget), and there was one ring, which sounds like it could rule out your guess. Anyway, thanks very much for your investigations! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Phonedations bugs, which is subscribed to ofono in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1588127 Title: Phone abandons incoming call Status in Canonical System Image: Incomplete Status in ofono package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in telephony-service package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I just received five incoming calls but I couldn't answer any of them. In each case the phone started vibrating, then after a while the ring tone started and the answer buttons were displayed, but before I had a chance to answer, the phone seemed to give up and go back to sleep. Then I could see the green envelope meaning that I had missed a call. The fifth time was me trying from another phone. In this case it seemed that the line was still ringing, but again I was unable to answer the call. After rebooting the phone, I can now answer incoming calls no problem. So it seems this is some bad state that the phone gets into after a while. I've previously had problems with my phone's cover blocking the light sensor and preventing me answering calls. However in this case I was expecting the call and had prepared by opening the cover, so this can't be the problem. Phone is an MX4. OS Ubuntu 15.04 (OTA-10.1). FYI, this was a job interview, with a CTO who was phoning from New York. I'd already had to delay a week after missing the first appointment due to the exact same problem. I've been barely tolerating Ubuntu Phone's bugs up to now, but this is the final straw.
