Sometimes connects... Sometimes it doesn't....

Ok guys, I have done a lot of reading and still can not figure out this problem.

Here's my problem:
Whether I'm making a call or receiving a call the chances of it going through is about 50/50. Example: my phone will ring but when I answer it I can not hear the other person and they can not hear me ...

Well I've done some test calls to see how things are doing.
I'm still on my default proxy (Columbus).

Calls dialed out: My first 4 calls dialed out with no problem. On the 5th call out, I couldn't hear anything.

Sad to hear more people are having the same problem. I haven't had time to mess around with it today. I got it on my default proxy (columbus). Forwarding all my calls to the cell.

I plan on messing with it tomorrow. I'll do like mberlant said and switch to a different proxy. Then I'll make a bunch ...

Well I tried four different proxy servers.
Columbus (my default)
Pittsburgh
Seattle

Still no luck. It seams as if changing to a different proxy has made a differents with outgoing calls (for the better). But I'm still not getting connected with incoming calls.

I've talked to a couple of ...

I haven't been able to get to it today (work and school). I'm going to try to get to it tonight, or tomorrow morning. I will post my results when done.

I can't believe only a handful of people are having this problem, if it's a proxy issue.

I'm in the same place, I've tried everything but the proxy change. It does seem like a lot of work but I guess I will have to try it since it seems that nobody else knows what can it be.

If you ever stumble across the solution, please let me know.

At least now I know it's not just me. :cry:

Re: Can't hear outgoing calls but receiver's phone does ring

The MJ works fine making and receiving calls and then at any random moment I pick up the phone (I can hear the line) I dial the number and I can't hear anything. The softphone informs me the current steps: trying... session progress... active... but I can't hear anything.
I call my own cell phone ...

I'm having a problem with my audio sometimes. About once or twice out every ten calls made to my MJ, never with a call made out, I'll get a skipping, choppy, slowed down, gargled audio. The caller can hear me fine, but I can't make out much of what they are saying. I'll ask them to call me back, and ...

I think you can chalk me up as another success story. I put a 100k ohm 1/4 watt resistor on it today and made a half dozen or so calls to the phone. All where successful! Both caller ids on the phone and t.v.!

So thanks to everybody. Big thanks to HolmanGT. I used your advice, and it worked like a ...

Does anyone have one of these resistors soldered and ready to go that they would like to sell me?

Yeah my caller ID doesn't work all the time ( about 70% of the time it works), and I'm kinda lazy. So if anyone wants to sell me one that would be great.

I have an audio problem as well. I'll get this "choppy" slow motion audio from inbound calls only. I know the other person can hear me well because I have to tell them to call me right back. I'll get this problem about 25% of the time.

I was getting a problem with my caller ID not working but the ...

What I love the most about the article is the comments. Most of the people that don't like MJ, say that it spy's on you and that you have no privacy. Have any of these people picked up a news paper lately or do they just not read. Just about all of the major telephone and internet providers now spy ...
