When did you purchase your magicjack? What type of computer, cpu, etc. ? Can you send at 33.6 ?

Thanks,

June 9th, 2008 It's version 2, the one with the white chip visible; not sure if this is the most current version.
Pentium Dual Core (the new one) 2.2GHz, 1 GB RAM, XP Home, mostly dedicated to MJ

Thanks.

Funny this topic should arise-I just bought a new Canon MX300 to replace my slow, limited HP and set it up the same way-splitter off the MJ, one line to the cordless and one to the AIO printer. Tested it at full 33.6k at HP's faxback service as well as faxtoy.net, it works like a charm! I'm quite ...

What speed is your fax machine set to use? How old is your fax machine?

Thanks,

Gee, thanks for that tip.

I wonder why I didn't think of doing that sooner.

What does the magicjack registry entry AudioFrames do?

Thanks,

It will still work in XP.

The VISTA upgrade actually fixes some problems for some people even though they are using XP.

On the original forums before they were closed someone posted a message that described a procedure for running more than one magicjack on the same computer. I don't remember everything but it had to do with running each magicjack as a service under a different logon account and handling some related ...

As long as the phone system you are thinking of getting will do what you want with a single regular old analog phone line like most people have in their homes (RJ11 type connection), then it will do it with the phone line from the magicjack. Instead of plugging a phone into the magicjack you just ...

For a pc computer solution I would imagine you could run the magicjack line to the telephone line in on your computers modem or another computer's modem and then have auto attendant software answer the modem line and do its thang from there.

I've tested magicjack through my old office hybrid digital/switching phone system and it worked fine. I assume it would work just fine with newer phone systems as well. Just ran the magicjack line to the telephone in line jacks on the phone system. Then used the phones attached to the phone ...

Your description of what you did is a bit confusing to me as sound/audio devices aren't usually a selection under program events. The default devices for sound and voice are not on the Sounds tab but on the Audio tab and the Voice tab. Defaults should be your sound card for Audio and MJ for voice ...

You can connect remotely to another computer and even dial a phone number on the magicJack softphone remotely, but how are you going to talk on the magicJack from a remote location?

A really really really really long phone cord?

Teano, its not any USB device that has the audio problem with windows its any USB AUDIO Device or maybe its any USB Voice Audio device. Regardless, windows decides when such a device is installed that it should be made the default. Programmers would need to capture the current audio device info and ...

The audio thing is a bug in Windows technically and not magicjack. Windows doesn't handle the install of a USB audio device properly, it assumes the new device should be the default. Just go to control panel, sound device and make adjustments on the voice and audio/sound tabs. Search the forums ...

There is no uninstaller but a manual uninstall isn't that difficult. Use Device Manager to uninstall the magicjack cdrom/disk drive/usb hub, and then unplug the magicjack device. Delete the mjusbsp directory and all subdirectories (probably at c:\documents and settings\(your user profile name ...

go to testyourviop.com and run the test. The results may tell you if the problem is your broadband connection as opposed to a problem on your computer itself.

I'm confused here. Port 80 is the standard port for web traffic in and out so how can they block port 80 without shutting down everyone's ability to run a browser on the web?

Obviously something changed, and that always bugs me to when I don't understand why it changed.

However, the good news is your device works and if its working with good voice quality than whatever changed was more superficial than a real problem to worry about.

You might try, use device manager ...

Something similar could easily be done with a macro program like autoit, autohotkey, or macro express. Something like highlight phone number in any screen, (not just a browser), hit hotkey (which could be a mouseclick and key combo) and the macro copies the phone number to the clipboard, brings up ...

My wife's computer has this same behavior with magicjack for some reason I have been unable to solve. The magicjackloader.exe would put its icons and skins back if you used that to start magicjack not just setup.exe, so you aren't losing anything in that comparison.

On my wife's computer I created ...

Nice Tip on RunSaver. From the download page linked to there is an autohotkey script called Idle Mute that is intended to mute sound after a certain period of inactivity. Looks like that script could be easily modified to run the kill magicjack activate suspend/hibernate batch file (autohotkey could ...

Maybe your USB port is losing power or having power cut off by the computer for power saving. Make sure the USB port for the magicjack is configured so that the computer can't turn it off. Try putting the magicjack on a powered USB hub might also work.

Gary

Excellent solution for manually turning magicjack on and off or setting suspend state. You could also use a batch file to just kill magicjack or just to reload it.

The only thing my suspend macro adds that a batch file doesn't is that macro express has a function counter that keeps track of how ...

You could use a grandcentral number that forwards to your magicjack number as a workaround until you get this problem fixed.

Good luck,

Gary

My macros are macro express macros. You would first have to purchase macro express to use them. You could do the same thing with autoit or autohotkey which are free macro programs, but my macros won't help you with that.

If you have a software firewall or router/firewall affecting your computer, if these items are setup improperly they can prevent inbound calls from reaching your computer and your magicjack. To test this temporarily disable your software firewall and router/firewall.

Gary

I have a macro that runs and kills the magicjack.exe and puts the computer to sleep after X minutes of inactivity. Another macro reloads magicjack.exe when I wake up the computer.

Never been a problem for me.

I kill and restart magicjack usually several times a day for one reason or another.

OH and one last thing. Since corporations don't exist in the real world of things and are in reality just groups of human beings interacting with other human beings, corporations can't pay taxes. Taxes that purport to be levied upon a corporation can only be paid by human beings existing in the real ...

ChuckII, your description of all corporations is so wrong its comical. Corporations aren't a "thing" with its own self-aware consciousness. Corporations are soulless but only because corporations as a "thing" separate and apart from the human beings that work for, own, or interact with others don't ...

If you unplug the magicjack from your computer does sound functioning return?

If it does, then the settings in your control panel sound applet aren't set properly.

You can change caller ID Name but not number with those additional features. Those additional features you mention are also available in the Mega skin and the Giga Skin. You just haven't pushed the right button yet on those skins to see these additional options.

OK thanks.

I know their firewall is excellent, but I hadn't seen anything on their AV product.

Gary

I use the version 2.3 of the comodo firewall. I prefer its feature set to the 2.4 and 3.0 versions of the firewall. I haven't tried their antivirus. Has it been subjected to any testing or comparison testing with some of the other free anti-viri like avg and avast ??

Kind of a pain the way rapidshare works (you have to click through an advertisement of their services and then wait about 30 seconds before download starts), so if anybody else has a better place to host this file, please feel free to upload it there.

I successfully changed the numbers on my two magicjacks today. That made the yellow light for 911 go away for me.

Hopefully they will fix the polling. They definitely know its an issue based on comments made by me and others on the old board.

Gary

garybritt

TOF, my experience regarding polling doesn't match yours. Its still consuming excessive CPU time (i.e. anything greater than 0 is excessive when the program is minimized and idle). I minimize the amount of time consumed by not having any IE Favorites at all, but even that only drops average consumed ...
