LevelBest suggested using a program called MJTweaks.exe to provide 7 digit dialing in lieu of 10 digits in November 2010. Has anyone been able to get this program working in their thin client. I am using an HP5710 updated an was wondering if anyone has been successful using this program. His ...

Thanks for the reply OTC. I must be doing something wrong. Where did you install magic features from; desktop, flash drive or downloaded it directly? After installing the program did you just use the commit command and then reboot? Did the program hold after the reboot. Any additional comments would ...

Has anyone successfully installed MagicFeatures plug-in On the Hp t5700-5710 Thin Client?. I can install the program from the tc desktop but the tc will not retain it after a reboot. It seems the 'commit to volume' command has no permanent effect on this particular program installation. I tried ...

as far as I know attempts to disable voice mail have failed. Does anyone know something different on this problem?

For what ever reasons I can't get the skin removed in order to make the necessary changes to stop the MJ voice mail. I had a tech friend to try also and he came up with the same results,,, both on a windows XP laptop and a Hp710 thin film with XPe. Maybe its possible to remove the skin to reveal the ...

Not being even a novice I am somewhat confused about the method of removing bigskin, making some changes in the bare ini file...and so on. There must be something that I missed...duhhhhhh! Where does one find the unmasked folder (the file name) where we make the changes? Joevv's procedure seems easy ...

I am running a HP 5700 thin client for Magic Jack support on my home network using a Trendnet TEW424UB wireless usb adapter and Trendnet 432BRP wireless router without any problems. There are also several other computers connected to the network which doesn't seem to slow down MJ operation.

If you will research this forum you will discover the answer to the question(s) you posed. Some forum members have MJ working on the tc5700 with as little as 256 mb ram and 500 mb on board flash. This seems to be the bare minimum for mj; and in most cases even this configuration is on the thrusthold ...

If I'm not mistaken the subject ebay cable has composite output also.. I see that item is closed but many like/similar cables are on sale in ebay... good luck

I am using the tc5710 to provide internet to my big screen using the vga out. Since the big screen vga input is the same type connector as that on the tc all I needed to do is connect a standard vga cable. I also connected an audio cable between the two devices. The converter cable you mentioned ...

anyone know of a link of how to connect/configure MJ with the RTP300. Sounds like a good alternate solution except that it is not wireless. I have my HP tc5710 running wireless to my Trendnet wireless router This is . ideal for the kid's laptops. ...My two cents worth,,,lol Hope others will ...

I am using a HP 5710 for my mj but I also installed a MJ on my daughter's pc and on a friend's pc. All three MJs seem to be working great. Big advantage with my tc is I don't have to leave a pc running 24/7.

Actually I think registration has its advantages. Unless I am wrong, registration enables users to share additional technical information with each other (thru persoinal messages) that might not be of interest to everyone else in the open forum. Several registered members have provided very valuable ...

It would be interesting to see if someone is able to connect a video card to a tc to speed up video. My tc 5710 with 1.2gh processor,1 Gb internal flash and 1 mb ram is just too slow for You tube videos (especially at full screen). However, My tc works great with MJ and I can even surf the net at ...

I am using a HP t5700 with a 1Ghz processor, 1Gb flash and 512 mb ram. The tc is plugged ino a Trendnet wireless router with a 2.0 mbps internet download speed. It was a lot of fun upgrading the basic tc that I purchased on eBay for about $70. The tc upgrade instructions posted in this forum were ...

I have found the Uniden 5.8 cordless phones work great. I have a 4 station set with a built in answering machine. I installed a two station V-tech 4.8 on my daughter's MJ and it also works great. Only problem is that I wish MJ would allow their ring times to go to 5 because of the internet delay ...

I have an older Dell desktop GX-100 running at 575 Mhz and it won't let MJ install correctly. It has 512 Mb ram and a USB 2.0 card. MJ works ok on my thin client , my HP Pentium 4 laptop and daughter's HP AMD Laptop. My point is the computer type, condition and age can make a big difference in ...

MJ should not cause any problems any more than any other program or device normally running on a pc 24/7. Only possible exception is that MJ technical recomends MJ be ocasionally unpluged for about a minute and then plugged back into the USB jack. I am not sure what the interval is but you can check ...

Its quite possible to have a defective MJ but you might want to unplug and replug the mj back into the pc a couple times. Also run the MJ update (download from their site). Try adjusting the volume levels in the MJ menu. I returned one MJ to Radio Shack and got another when I suspected the first one ...

you might also adjust your audio volume levels in the MJ menu. I found if they are too high I get echos. make small adjustments until you get a balance between volume and quailty.

it only cost $39 and that's for a full year of service. Mine works fine with cordless phones. As an option you can (1) use your home telephone wiring if you disconnect the outside phone line where it comes into the house from the phone company; or (2) use the extra unused wiring pair for MJ if you ...

are you sure mj is set for phone in the menu rather than headset?

I agree with djmax041 on the need for net.frame to make magicblock work. Most pcs have net.framework installed but some systems that don't have windows update turned on may be missing it. I ran into that problem on one of the mj installations where I had to update windows.

I am using Magicblock to keep mj from popping up. The program has a small icon in the start up menu on the bottom right of the windows screen to change the options from 'hide to allow' the MJ screen from popping up or to keep it minimized. just right click on the icon and check or un- check the box ...

Upgrading the flash and ram was quite easy using the pictures and instructions on this forum. The process is very similar to changing ram in a regular desktop pc. There are just 2 screws to remove to open the t5700 case. I used a generic pc2700 512 Mb ram module that I had left over from a laptop ...

The t5700 with 1ghz processor works very well with MJ. I have had mine working for about a month and so far the results have been excellent. I got it on ebay for $64 plus $24 for shipping from a Canadian source. I updated my unit with 1 GB flash and 512 MB ram and installed Team viewer 4 so I won't ...

Suddenly on a Friday afternoon MJ started working again on my pc and/or thin Client. Apparently it was the MJ servers/software at the heart of the problems. This was discussed with customer service (customer care) earlier this past week. I certainly hope the others in Ohio and Ky who had this ...

Are Ohio MJ owners having more problems than others? Based on what I am reading we are having similar problems with MJ..and it has happened suddenly. Maybe if the MJ engineers read this it might give them a clue of the continuing problems. Wonder could it be their servers or as others suggested ...

i have similar problems with my MJ. The problems are not consistent. Sometimes I can make ten calls in a row with out too many problems but other times when I call someone either they can not hear me or vice versa. Sometimes it dials but I cannot hear the rings. Other times its almost impossible to ...

i am experiencing similar connection problems here. I have tried just about everything and no solution yet. I tried different routers, different Pcs, different telephones, and even a thin client. In some instances when I make a call the person on the other end answers but can not hear me; nor can I ...

oops I was talking about the HP TC5700.... truly a senior moment on my part...lol. I Thank all you gentlemen for your patience in helping us newbies. This is my first experience with a TC and it is a great distraction from cable reruns.

I got the TC5700 updated and running and connected to the ...

Jim I was on back order for about a week on the 1GB DOM from Transcend. I received the unit yesterday. I am setting up the TC700 for magic jack.. Almost ready to try my luck. I was not aware the TC would accept a 2GB Dom. Let us know if it works ok.

As a new member, I wish to thank all of you who contribute your expertise on the HP TC for Magic Jack. My question is whether all /or any of the extra utilities listed on the site http://www.bay-wolf.com/usbmemstick.htm are necessary for the DOK and the HP TC . These are in addition to COMMAND.COM ...
