Poly Studio x30 Teams account disconnection
We recently deployed Poly X30 & X50 with Poly Trio 8800 or TC8 and noticed when the power outage or unplug the main power cable from the X30 or X50 the device is on reset mode and showing sign-in screen on the TV rather than showing the room is available.
In short the device is losing its configuration and it requires to reconfigure X30 & X50 again.
From the first day of deployment till today’s date I have reconfigured all devices more than 8 times in each room and we have 8 conference rooms so it is wasting lot of my time.
Has anyone ever seen this type of issue? Really appreciate your help if you have any resolution to fix this issue.
I have seen this exact same issue and the fix that appears to be working is to ensure the X30 and X50s are running the following Software Versions:
- Teams Admin Agent 1.0.0.202010121132.product
- Firmware 3.3.2.286154
- Company Portal App 5.0.4927.0
- OEM Agent App 3.3.2-1005354
- Teams App1449/1.0.96.2021042903
When the devices were not registering correctly in Intune, due to a buggy Firmware, we would see the exact same issue (rebooting would lose all config - rebooting would occur at random intervals). Once the firmware was updated to 3.3.2.286154, this stopped on the X30/X50s but the TC8s would still occasionally become unpaired.
Polycom were less than helpful, only offering to send a chargeable engineer on site to "troubleshoot". The consensus on here seems to be the X30s are problematic to say the least. Anecdotally, I have heard of much fewer issues with the X30s running native Poly Firmware, rather than the MSFT Teams optimized version.
Sorry I cannot be of more help.

- golabkiJun 04, 2021Copper ContributorOur reseller was able to get a meeting with Poly and Microsoft Engineering due to some pre-existing professional contacts within Poly. This same group of people has agreed to meet with our IT team and our vendor next week. What we have heard through our vendor is that during the initial meeting both Microsoft and Poly have acknowledged the issue with device signouts and lost pairing between X30/X50 and TC8. Both Microsoft and Poly agree it is an issue with the Microsoft Teams firmware. From what we understand a beta firmware version that contains a fix for all of the pairing/signout issues should be released available in some capacity either today or early next week. Details are unclear about how or our vendor will actually receive this firmware for testing. We are very hopeful this will resolve all the problems in our 17 conference rooms. It is frustrating that there is such a lack of transparency from Microsoft and Poly on this and that their findings are not acknowledged or published anywhere that I have been able to find on either website. Had our vendor not had contacts within Poly we never would have received this information until the fix was released. All but 2 of our conference rooms have been converted to Poly device mode and are basically dumb conference rooms that require a USB and HDMI to interface with the display and X30 or X50. It's been a giant step back for us but has saved the IT team hours a day dealing with these issues. While we remain hopeful that the issues will be addressed by the FW updates, we will be rolling out any new firmware VERY slowly and purposefully.

Just a quick update - we have obtained the beta FW 3.5.0.344003 from Polycom. Contents are as follows:
Teams Admin Agent 1.0.0.202104280345.product
Firmware 3.5.0.344003
Company Portal App 5.0.5088.0
OEM Agent App 3.5-1005779
Teams App 1449/1.0.96.2021051904
There is some confusion if this firmware fixed the signout issue this thread is all about. I have received both a confirmation and denial from Polycom that the issue is fixed in this firmware. We currently have 3 devices running this Beta FW and the only issue it has resolved so far is that video is now available on all calls from an X30 (we were seeing issues where video was not being received by an x30). It has created a new issue where external users cannot be invited to a "MeetMe" from the X30/TC8 - it only seems to search the GAL for invitees, and does not allow SMTP addresses that are not in the GAL.
