Re: Android update from 2.2 to 2.3 ! PROBLEM !
Since last night I have the same problem.
HTC just released the update to Android 2.3 and, of course I upgraded.
Now 3CX force-closes.
Somehow I knew this would happen, they were not even able to produce the tunnel for mobile devices (what is a mobile client good for if it won't work without the tunnell?)
I have been using 3CX for over a year, basically just because the ease of use on the windows platform and the Skype gateway.
For me it is imperative to use cheap communication, since my wife and children are living in one country whilst I work in another, so I can only see them over the weekend, but if my wife needs something she must be able to call me at any time any how.
I have been waiting for the tunnell support from 3CX for a long time, with no hope.
Since now I am in the UK, I can use skype on my mobile, which IS working with the newer Android 2.3 and therefore I can call extensions via the gateway back home.
I was hoping to replace Skype with the tunnelled 3CX client soon, so I could use other facilities in 3CX (by the way, my wife runs part of the company from home, so we need it).
Now I am trully hopeless, since Microsoft acquired Skype, nobody knows if it will still be available and the 3CX client (which was not working over 3G because lack of tunnell) will not even start on my updated phone...
So, I am giving up on 3CX and will choose any other VoIP client that can work with Asterix. And after all the wait, I will have to review my Linux skills to setup a Skype gateway on it (which is why I choose 3CX over Asterix), so I can still use my Skype number to receive client calls.
Sad... Very sad...
Hope I am not back to the days were I was spending hundreds (yes, over 300 euros) per month on roaming and international call charges.
It seems the telcos are closing in big time.
I feel robbed by these people.
They claim to be global giant companies with fancy brands, but are no better than a bunch of local franchises with poor corporate and governance structures.
I'd rather spend this money to have a company like 3CX develop a decent working client. Too late, I cannot wait any longer and I give up!
I guess this is a sign of times, perhaps the financial crisis has taken its toll on 3CX and they cannot afford to produce a decent piece of software.
Sad...
