Have you updated to the latest Lync Mobile client?
How are you joining those meetings?
I think i have the latest version if its correctly posted on Google Play. I installed Lync from Google Play and updates are enabled. I uninstalled and reinstalled just in case. No difference.
Within my calendar, I am opening up an invite and clicking on the join link For Example:
Join online meeting
https://meet.domain.com/user/XXX##XXX
This launched the Android Browser and I get the blue Lync server page, stating the following:"In the meeting? You can go ahead and close this page." but the phone does not ring. My correct phone number is in the options of Lync and I can initiate calls to my Lync contacts through Lync as I do get the call back in that scenario.
When joining the meeting, does Lync need to be logged in? It does not work for me either way. I seem to think that the Browser doesnt really transmit the data properly or there is a server side issue. Incidentily I tried this with an iPad and was able to join a meeting.
Thanks!
Please user OCS Logger on the Front-End server to see what messages are being sent and use snooper (Resource Kit) to investigate.
Also verify that your Mobility policy enables OutsideVoice
Confirmed on multiple Tmobile HTC One S devices. We are investigating if its a configuration issue but please note that it works on a Lync enabled Ipad with the same user account.
Hello Jimmy,
Please capture the logs from the device and share.

I have the same issue going on and when I send the logs and attempt to extract them I get "unsupported compression method - meaning I cannot see what may be in the logs so I cannot post them in this forum.
Another thing worth mentioning, is 1-click meeting join used to work on my Android phone so somewhere along the line within the last 2 months something has changed. I too have uninstalled and re-installed the Lync app. Lync works fine by itself, calendar works fine by itself but when I click on the lync meeting join it no longer auto joins and calls me.
I testing this on another person's phone (the same phone model, same android version, same lync app version) and was able to use the 1-click meeting join successfully.
Our Lync admin has no idea what to look for and I'm out of ideas of what to chase on my phone as well.
Please help.
Android 2.3.5; HTC Evo model PC36100
I am seeing a similar issue on an HTC DROID Incredible. The Android Version is 2.3.4 and the HTC Sense version is 2.1. The Lync Mobile client is 4.0.5324.3000. The user states that this also worked at one point in time but stopped working about 2 Months ago. I am not sure is anyone else is seeing the same behavior, but I did notice that "Join Online Meeting" in the meeting request is not a link. The actual hyperlink is displayed after the text. When clicking on that, it takes you to the web page and states "In the meeting? You can go ahead and close this page." just as Jimmy stated.
On a phone that works (an HTC Thunderbolt) the "Join Online Meeting" text is a hyperlink. I was able to capture the log from the phone that is having trouble, but I am not sure how to share it short of copying and pasting...
Hey Microsoft - any info for us on this? Have there been other reports outside of HTC users? Please help - I miss the 1-click meeting join and hate to say I actually Need it..... It quit working for me a couple months ago
.... I was unable to post the logs as mentioned in my previous post

Hi,
Can you let me know if the user has Chrome for Android installed and that it is being used as the default behaviour for opening URLs?
I have done a test on my own HTC One S device where I uninstalled Chrome, and then reran opening a meeting URL, the phone asked my what browser I wanted to use, I selected the native browser, and then the correct functionality of joining the meeting occurred.
Cheers
Leaskovski - I agree with you - I found Chrome to be the culprit recently as well. I've since gotten a brand new phone (no longer have an HTC) and ran into the same behavior when I accidently selected Chrome for the browser when connecting to a meeting. When I tried again by selecting the default browser, everything worked correctly and the meeting called me as it should.
I was experiencing the same issue and found Chrome to be the culprit as well. The behavior was replicated with both Lync Mobile 2010 and 2013 clients on a Nexus 4, Nexus 10, and HTC Vivid. All 3 of these phones are running Ice Cream Sandwich, which has Chrome installed as the only browser by default. I had to install Dolphin browser in order to get around the issue.
This really needs to get fixed. The solution shouldn't be for the user to install a 3rd party browser.
