I?ve been trying for quite some time now to make hints work correctly, so that I may use the BLF (busy lamp field) features of the Snom and Grandstream models that support it. My problem is NOT a subscription problem. I have a running Asterisk system, everything is as it should be, hints are in the dialplan as they should be etc... My problem is: If I configure my phones in sip.conf as type=friend, then hints stop working correctly. Using the 'show hints' in the console shows me, that the only 2 states a phone can be in is 'Idle' or 'Unavailable' (when I pull the power on the phones). The 'Ringing' or 'InUse' state will never happen no matter what my phones are doing. If I configure my phones in sip.conf as type=peer, then hints work a little better, meaning that phones can now be 'Idle', 'Unavailable' and 'InUse' state. But I still do not have the 'Ringing' state. When a phone is ringing the state is 'InUse'. This works fine in 1.0.7, so I'm wondering if it is broken in 1.2.x? I tried it with 1.2.1 and 1.2.4. Is this really broken in 1.2.x? - Should I report a bug? // Per
