1 TC up 78 days and humming strong. and another up 55 days and strong. no reboots needed here

kulumbaa

The TK6K has made strides but it is not quite at the level of MJ just yet.

The biggest problem i have with my TK6K is that it goes dead without notice, unless u check it or someone notifies you, you would have no idea that it is not working. this phenomenon is famously known as "keep alive" on the ...

kulumbaa

nice, what tc did u have and what are the specs on your TC and could u share which DOk u used thnx

kulumbaa

Thnx VaHam that was the trick.

kulumbaa

I had made some changes on my TC a while ago don't exactly remember what, but after i rebooted the TC it now requires me to Log in as Administrator, which works.

my question is. is there a way to change it so that it doesn't ask for user and password b4 it fully starts.

thnx in advance.

kulumbaa

then what are you trying to accomplish by hooking MJ to it?

kulumbaa

what are you trying to do with the MJ and DirectTv? i thought directtv needs phone line to check location etc?

i do have my direct tv also hooked to my router which assigned it an ip for on demand stuff etc.

kulumbaa

My MJ is hooked up to the latest DirectTV HD DVR receiver no issues here almost a year. i didnt really had to nothing special i just split the out port from the MJ and ran a phone cord to the receiver and another cord to the phone.

btw, the MJ i have is an older version dunno if that really makes ...

kulumbaa

take it back and get your $$ some of those features are overrated, i have a panasonic dect 6.0 as well talking caller i.d is annoying and cant even pronounce names correctly its off on my phone, so call caller block still lets your phone ring at least once.

kulumbaa

many people have used MJ for at least 2 years and they are happy, i don't see why MJ wont be here another 5.

i have used MJ almost 2 yrs myself, been very satisfied and i do have the 5 yr plan. even if MJ goes bust worst case scenario i have invested MJ 39.95+6 plus shipping + 59.95 five yr plan ...

kulumbaa

dunno what more details, my MJ is on a TC 5710, i really don't do nothing special to it to make it work, have called UK, France, Rwanda, Gambia and all kinds of places without an issue, i guess MJ is a hit and miss for some people.

some people seem to get great service and others continue to be ...

kulumbaa

i have several siblings in UK, just spoked to one of my bros for 30mins never had any issues. btw my bro is in england

kulumbaa

kulumbaa

thanks for the replies lymon and mono-

i dont know anyone who has a laptop that can test it am gonna see if i can return it or exchange it for something else if not its money down the drain.

mono i will have to investigate the RAMs you linked up and may have to invest in those.

i hope the specs ...

kulumbaa

my MJ works flawlessly on a 256/256 TC with the latest upgrade, no directx , no audio issues.

kulumbaa

well i have a thin client i decided to take out the do not upgrade from the host file which i did couple months ago cuz of no audio issues.

to my suprise MJ upgraded and no issues about no audio devices and the error 4 is gooooooooooooooone.

kulumbaa

and sometimes i get the busy ...

kulumbaa

my MJ is on a t5710 256/512 i have no such problems with the memory my tc is on usually for weeks the only time i reboot is when i make some changes and need to commit.

kulumbaa

how much free space do you have on your c drive and how much ram did you allocate from the ram disk manager.

also you need to follow the instructions few posts back about unzipping the files onto a flash drive and executing it from there as HolmanGT has stated.

kulumbaa

nothing new.........

kulumbaa

glad to hear it works for you jw.. yes you can lower your ram disk manager back down after the install..

kulumbaa

i dont really remember exactly wat i did few days ago to install it on a 256/256.

however what i would suggest is to go to the control panel and ram disk manager increase to atleast 50. commit and try to install and see what happens

EDIT

I can confirm 100% what i said above just duplicated it ...

kulumbaa

i was successful in installing dx9 on a t5700 256/256..

the reason i installed in the 256/256 was due to sound distortions which hasnt gone away even after the dx9 install howver i dont have any no audio found. but its still useless because the sound is static and distorted when i put the phone on ...

kulumbaa

Thanks Vaham i was never able to get it to work, but i will try it again following your modifications.

kulumbaa

yep that will actually show you the ram to get the rom on the same screen shot bill just posted click on hardware/device manager and disk drives it will show how much rom

kulumbaa

click on start right click on my computer/properties then it will tell you rom/ram .

that 16meg you are talking about goto your control panel click on ramdisk manager and increase your ram from 16 to say 24meg commit reboot.

that directx file does get corrupt sometimes it has happened to me also i ...

kulumbaa

i dont understand your concern.. did you received any calls from africa soliciting you or any calls outside usa/canada.

calls are only free from usa/canada as far as Mj is concern everywhere else they have to pay.

unless its an MJ to MJ then as long as that person has broadband and there area code ...

kulumbaa

after the voicemail plays or starts to play hit 7..

kulumbaa

am able to install that file it also says for me not enough space but i allocate more space with the ram disk utility in the control panel. but after that MJ installs and everything, gets the dial tone initially and i get that ping noise that you get when MJ is still in the process of booting up.

kulumbaa

the direct x fix doesnt work for me either.

kulumbaa

i actually was able to make 2 calls to london so i guess MJ works sometimes lol.......

2 cents a minutes not too bad

kulumbaa

Thanks stroths-

kulumbaa

I have been trying to make an image of one of my 5700's to flash into another 5700 since one of them seems to work fine since the stupid upgrade and the other isnt, however the instructions that Vaham gave seems to be missing a file here is were i got stuck at..

4) From a command window execute ...

kulumbaa

kulumbaa

lol funny and frustrating at the same time.

you can indeed access your voicemail from any phone if it is working that is, as i have said earlier the voicemail sys is not very reliable
dump it and get an answering system.

Stewart wrote in another post:

It appears that users are now being downgraded to http://upgrade.talk4free.com/upgrade/20071221000000/upgrade.exe .

If you are having trouble with the upgrade, restart your MJ and it should download this automatically. Or, you can install it yourself.

If you ...

kulumbaa

This upgrade rollback works but, it seems to me, the update itself is REALLY old and contains some old bugs.
The first one I have found immediately: redial - magicjack sometimes misses tones when I use redial,
never had this problem before and it is quite annoying issue for me :( ...

Anyway, I ...

kulumbaa

low power consumption, MJ softphone out of your face and from your main system... plus they are nice lil fast machine fairly cheap compared to a full functioning comp..

they can be up for weeks without the need to reboot, no moving parts what else..

OH THEY CAN DAIL MJ COSTOMER SERVICE FOR YOU ...

kulumbaa

MJ voicemail isnt the most reliable sys in the world i would suggest getting a phone with an answering system so you wont have to deal with there buggy VM service. thats what i do and i suspect many others on here..

kulumbaa

could be your phone, i have a panasonic dect 6.0 shows names of contacts, if not on the contact list MJ only shows numbers..

kulumbaa

mayb try to hit star right when the annoucement starts dont wait for leave a message least that works for me
