Look into my post history. I have posted this fix somewhere before but I just don't have the time to look it up...I know it was one of my last posts.

Trebuin

So I've finally played around with this option and here's the history as of now:

No proxy fix: horrible quality...very choppy to get to Columbus
Proxy fix: most choppiness eliminated but still has issues with a current wifi connection

With the air card (3G) selected, I have not seen any choppiness ...

Trebuin

Since these things are sold all over the place here now, there have been lots of people with one big problem: crappy audio due to proxy location. The proxy you used is based on your phone number, which if your's in Columbus, you'll have a huge delay resulting in horrible quality. We need the option ...

Trebuin

One of the updates from last year stopped the us from using the hosts files. Since then I have gone through an ATA to fix this. Now that this new update has killed the ATA, back through the USB again. The problem is now I'm back going through a proxy with a 500+ ms delay (caused by going from Japan ...

In PAP2 where do you put Domain name and host name ? In Innomedia I have Domain name as talk4free.com. It does not register with the latest pw.. I am concerned to change the Register elapse number below 60

domain is located under system, I believe. Don't bother changing the register elapse ...

Trebuin

Thinking about that now, it should have no effect. Changing the domain is simply changing the domain the box looks for...meaning your router if you have one.

So both of us are still waiting on a solution...my usb is back in...an my call quality is crappy again.

Trebuin

KEY one is set Register expires to 0 - that is the change that made it work...

I would respectfully suggest that this tactic, which is tantamount to a Denial of Service attack on the YMAX infrastructure, will clearly place you in the crosshairs of the YMAX security department. They know ...

Trebuin

MWI Serv: to no
VMWI Serv: to no

That should stop the message issue, but you'll have to rely on your computer for messages while you are talking.

Trebuin

what settings did you change to get it working? I'm stuck setting the register expires to 0, which kills the inbound call ability. Anhow, I think that the beeping for you might be the messaged. I had that before but need to look up what I changed...give me about 5 mins.

Trebuin

Hi all,

I made following changes to get it to register ( I saw the SIP registration done by MJ software using Wireshark and tried to copy it )

Used OB Proxy to proxy01.boston.talk4free.com:5070
Domain as talk4free.com
User Agent as : MagicJack/1.80.484a (SJ Labs)

KEY one is set Register expires ...

Paypal will provide limited protection for up to 30 days...if you're smart and payed through paypal with your credit card as opposed to bank account...it will pretty much force paypal to respond in your favor, otherwise you can retract the payment through your credit card company.

By deleting or renaming upgrade.exe, you're essentially putting more stress on both magicjack's servers as well as your own bandwidth. Wget is designed to only download a new version, but it needs to see the version on your computer to compare it to. Delete it and it will always download a new ...

Trebuin

Your choice, the terminate.bat is there to allow you to run magicjack as a service. By letting it come back on it's own, it loads back in the front which most of us don't like.

Trebuin

I spoke with MJ support to recommend a fix for this, basically the old hosts file mod. They've forwarded the notes in regards to this problem to the software engineers with the recommendation. I also asked them to include the IPs following checking the proxy names so in the case that the computer ...

Trebuin

I'll stick with voip. My parents back in Ohio were forced to switch because their lan line went down during that big wind storm last year. The telephone company told them that it would cost my parents several hundred dollars to have it repaired, even though it was a city wide problem and not at my ...

Trebuin

Hey, thanks, that's more clear. I gave the iptables a try with the -i and it worked fantastic. My firewall showed mj pinging every proxy till it hit one that worked, then it worked just fine. Took about 2 mins to start up.

I don't know if I'll be able to use that vista trick as I don't have a ...

Trebuin

Sorry about the delay. Anyhow, I've tried all combinations of invalid ips, from 127.0.0.1, 192.236.2.1 (from your example) 192.236.3.1 (invalid based on my gateway) 192.236.3.199 (my allowable range goes from 100-199, 199 was unassigned) no joy yet.

Trebuin

route -p should be permanent and persist with reboot...

another way is to use IP security policies----but its not available on certain Windows versions. 3rd party firewall should work for the purpose as well.

I'm trying to finetune this solution as more than just I will be using it. However; it ...

Trebuin

ok, after tons of work, blocking the proxy1 addresses will work...the problem is the route -p add argument is only working for me for a very short time and then magicjack will connect back to the proxy I don't want it to. Still working on that fix.

Trebuin

OK, this method only works for me if I block the vms1 ports. Confirmed with both sets of codes. I've ran into problems blocking the proxy, but blocking the other will reroute.

Trebuin

Here's something fun (or disturbing) I've discovered:

If I reroute my proxy and I call out, everything works fine. If I do the same and someone calls me, they can't here me, I can't hear them, but I can hear the third person in LA that picked up. They're really freaking out

Trebuin

**update**
I've managed to completely reroute the primary ip rather than block it and almost all the rest. I can call out just fine, receive rings in, however, I cannot hear anyone calling back in. So we're left to this method or code injection.

Trebuin

The only problem with blocking all the others is that they change. I don't know if that list is randomly generated with the exception of the first, but even as they add more, you'll have to keep it up to date. More maintenance than I'd care to do. Hence why redirecting the first tends to work better ...

Trebuin

***rescinded due to lack of interested in rerouting***

Trebuin

Ok, so I see plenty of people asking why should you even reroute the ip to another proxy?

Well, I'm a perfect example, I live out in Okinawa, Japan and have a US number (614 area code).

If I ping Columbus for the default proxy, I have a 350-500ms delay.
Tracert tracks my signal going through LA ...

Trebuin

Anyone still looking for a solution? I very close to finished, but it requires a linksys router.

Trebuin

I've been working on a fix. I've seen the code from the memory dump basically wants to use the proxy of your area code, then the rest is totally random.

I've confirmed hosts file no longer works.

For the purpose of updates, I can block any of the ip's, update or the proxy I don't want, however ...

Trebuin

614 has a 1 hour limit outbound confirmed

Trebuin

that's amazing, was there a new fringe client release? I've been in the talks with the fringe development team for some time now. they told me that they were not going to have a new release for a couple of more months. I kept bugging them about the size of the pw string. I hope the new one works ...

Trebuin

Nice work and great idea. I've made some changes to your script which should make it a little more universal.

EDIT: Don't use this yet as it needs some more tweaking.

The assumption is that you are running MJ in service mode already and the service is called "magicjack".

You will need to ...

You're right, I just checked and I just haven't tried it on it to see there's no character limit anymore. Very nice.. So we have just another option.

2 reasons for needing more than 30 mins:

1) I live in Japan and MJ is my lifeline back to family in the states. My wife tends to run into problems more than I.

2) If anything breaks (which happens more often that I thought) I end up on hold for about 20 mins to get it fixed, with enough time to ...

Trebuin

Updated to stop hammering, speed up update times (we don't have to download the file on non-updated days), and save our download bandwidth.

Trebuin

I'm going to be working on an update soon that basically checks the server to see if you have the latest update. This should stop the server hammering that I've caused. Expect a release in January or sooner.

Trebuin

Calling home from Japan only works so well setting the proxy to LA.

Trebuin

Fixed a bug. You need to force magicjack to close using the /f fix. If you don't, when the next script starts running, magicjack will open and close in a loop.

Also, could someone sticky these instructions. Have a good day!

Respectfully,
Treb

Trebuin

It's totally iffy. My server was probably set up the same way but it never took any update. Turns out that the recent push killed my MJ so I had to use the loader. This updated it without a problem. Unfortunately, it is totally random when it updates if those previous files are there. Anyhow, this ...

Trebuin

updated to this point

Trebuin

Two things:
You can use the REG command from the batch script to do the necessary registry edit like this:

reg delete HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run /v cdloader /f

Also, any reason for using magicjackloader.exe rather than magicjack.exe?

Thanks for the command so we don't ...

Trebuin

For those who have tried this and did not create a .reg file, update your script.

The original updater re-enables the cdloader again. I updated the terminate.bat file to run a reg file with the following command:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]

25 Dec 08: Changed the mjupdate script to remove hammering of MJ's servers. Expect another update to keep us from running update over and over again when it isn't updated.

Today, my wife informed me that our phone no longer worked. I currently run in service mode and tried restarting the service...no go. I figured that there might have been an upgrade so I launched it from the original folder and sure enough...upgraded on June 13. I copied the new update to the ...

Trebuin

I have mine connected to a server so I have no option of restarting. I did resolve this problem by building MJ as a service using FireDaemon Pro service. This allowed me to do the following:
-create the service easily
-set the service as high priority...this payed off dividens
-restart the service ...

I have had no problems whatsoever running the MagicJack on my Intel iMac...

Then again, I never exposed this MagicJack to any windows products.

I'm in the same boat. I'm running it just fine on the vista side but on the osx side, there is just no controlling the QOS.

if your phone is not compatible does that mean your MJ works but your phone does not ring because I have tried several different phones and my phone won't ring I tries a VTECH 5.8 GHZ model #IA5854 and a Motorola 5.8 GHZ model # MA561

Yes, this is saying that your MJ works, but your phone for one ...

The spoofer must be always running while using the MagicJack in order for it to spoof your caller ID.

I'm sorry, I should have added more: I actually haven't been using it to spoof, but just change the proxy I use. It usually sets me to use one on the east coast making me to have to go through ...
