goodnight,

I don't know of any workaround for the sleep problem.

There is however one thing you might give a try.

Go into the Device manager > Universal Serial Bus controllers > then do a properties on each item labeled USB Root Hub > go to the power management tab and un-check allow the computer ...

and will be adding a 6.5" TFT monitor to it for another $40

WOW! Where can I get one for that price?

Shouldn't be that hard to get one at that price off ebay. The challenge would be getting a touchscreen version for $40.

Well Mr. stroths, long time since we posted in the same thread, too ...

HolmanGT

Guys/Gals, Any help on this PLEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZ? Thanks

Hey guys,

I've read all your threads, but still I'm not able to use my bluetooth headset "Pleantronics Voyager 510" with MJ...

I think I was able to pair-up the headset with the USB adapter on my IBM T41 laptop!. when I double ...

Hi there everyone,

I know it was discussed over a year ago, but could one of the techier members tell me if you're applying QoS by application or by port(and if by port, which one?). I'm too new to the system to have experienced any performance problems, but wanted to nix what I could before it ...

t5700 256/256 was $33.99 shipped w/ buy-it-now. $25 for the 1gb flash and less than $25 for the 512mb RAM. I'm going to drop another $50 into it for an expansion module and VGA because I use it for my primary internet appliance now. I don't even fire up my tower any more. :wink:

Well all I have ...

HolmanGT

[I did mine myself. I only have $80 in the way it sits with a 1gb/512. I use it for an internet terminal as well as hosting the MJ.

Man, (pun intended I see remarks like this all the time. Would you please tell us how you did it so cheaply?

Typical: Thin Client 5710 $80, 1 GB Flash $20 and DDR ...

My idea was to use the DPH 50 U which has 2 lines.One for the normal phone where i was planning to plug in the line from magicjack and the other line was to be used for skype.VOIP dude has gone one step ahead and says we can use the same dongle for both , wow...

Thanks VoipDude for your excellent find and post.

HolmanGT

Thanks VoipDude !!!

I'll bet this will be real popular with the folks that have jumped ship for whatever reason and are now using Skype.

I personally don't thing the Skype to standard phone adapters are all that good and most of the vendors/manufactures don't seem to really support the product ...

HolmanGT

VoipDude & Free2talk

OK both of you have peaked my interest.

1. How do you make an MJ work with Skype?

2. How do you make a DPH50U work with Skype and MJ on one computer. I had tried that - "No Worky" but you got me to thinking if you had Skype on one thin client and MJ on another, well that ...

Thanks for the reply.The device manager status is ok for all the installation.
No yellow excl marks.I managed to point the installer to kuser.dll and ks.sys
Everything went great.Thats why its strange that the TC is not detecting the
DPH50U.I tried getting into skype menu and changed the ...

HolmanGT

free2talk,

No I did not have any experiences like that. After I told it how to find the files it couldn't find it just worked.

If you go into the device manager do you see any drivers displaying the question mark or exclamation mark in yellow?

Do you get the "System" beep when you plug your unit ...

As of today, 5/27/2009, I can't use my Magicjack (purchased two months ago) to access my cellphone's voicemail system, neither using an attached phone, nor with the softphone. I am using a wireless router, but it has worked fine up till now, especially after telling it that my laptop's MAC address ...

HolmanGT

free2talk,

I am sure you will have plenty of USB power to spare. I had it all running on a T5730 just fine. The T5730 uses the same power supply and as far as I can tell the same guts as the T5720.

The only think that I can see that they have done differently in the 5730 is got rid of all the ...

So did Lisa ever get down to documenting the procedure for installing DPH-50U on a thin client running xpe ?
I couldn't find it on this forum for sure.If there are any pointers it would be great.

I don't know if she did "free" but here is the last note I received from her prior to jumping ship ...

Is there some setting in your audio card that steals connections it believes to be rightfully for the audio card, much like Windows Media Player will try to associate all of its file extensions if you don't explicitly tell it not to?

My money is some quirk like you mention or an audio application ...

HolmanGT

cmankat,

No, I sure don't have a suggestion on this one. I never had it forget the settings But I never had a conexantHDaudio card.

It might be related to your audio card, have you made sure you have the most up to date drivers for it... probably not the problem but worth a try.

Let me know - please and good luck.

cmankat,

Boy it has been so long since I used my D200 that I don't remember what if anything I had to do to make it work with MJ.

I am sure you have done this already but no one ever posts what they have already done. I am always forced to write done how to do what you have and others have already ...

momo,

If you are suggesting the removal and addition of one of those "Gazillion" pin surface mount chips by hand you need to rinse out your Bong, you have some bad stuff in the bottom of that puppy. :lol:

And if it happens to be a "Green" circuit board they no longer use solder. Frankly I don't ...

HolmanGT

I actually tried pressing the flash button on my phone and it does put the caller on hold, but when I press flash to come back to the caller it hangs up on them. I also tried a combination of flash, hold, and resume and they all fail. I was escalated from 1st level to 2nd level support and ...

usnswcc,

"Both" is good.

If someone calls me and I put them on HOLD, when I click RESUME it gives me a dial tone, and the other person hears no more music but stays connected...but there is no way I can get them back on the line because it is disconnected on my end..... what is the deal with this?

1. Transcend's RAM modules will not work in a HP Thin Client.

But the DOM ones work ok, right? I thought I read on this forum that the HP XPe image would install just fine on 2 gig, but not bigger? And that the TranscendUSA DOM was perfect for the hp t5000 series because even the holes lined up ...

HolmanGT

Tony,

For me:

1. Transcend's RAM modules will not work in a HP Thin Client.
2. PNY ultima PC2700 will work in a 5700,10 or 20.
3. Kingston RAM from their HP Thin client look up table works well in HP thin clients including T5730.

PNY is my RAM of choice, never, ever had a problem with it ...

HolmanGT

jdmncc1969,

Just a bit of trivia, I have been buying from Transcend for about a year and the other day on the purchase of two 1GB flash modules is the very first time I did not receive a back order notice.

I have had the back order notices replaced with a shipping notice that has ranged from a ...

HolmanGT

Actually you can have two MagicJacks on the same machine running calls at the same time if on is on your machine and the other is run on a Virtual machine.

I have never attempted it but there is several post on this site that talk about it and I am sure if you PM one of the VM gurus they will be ...

What a week... Magic Jack works great at my house. But where I need it to work, at a high school baseball field, we have had no luck. We were advised we needed to forward two ports on the router to UDP protocol and that made a big difference. We went from 'Network Error' to "Ready to Call' but the ...

Windows 7 is still beta software, and is expected to have some bugs. You need to report this behavior to Microsoft in accordance with your beta agreement, so that they can fix the bug before releasing the product.

Thanks for the feedback "Sandman". I am not the originator of the fix and unfortunately I don't remember the authors name but it has save a lot of folks bacon on this forum.

HolmanGT

I've seen this behavior when I've blocked the routes to the default proxy server - but it doesn't do it all the time. Others on this forum have said they have the same issue as you.

My suggestion is to bite the bullet and contact the tech support chat folks and tell them the problem. They might ...

HolmanGT

Well George,

Here is your quote for a T1 line:
Offensive comment number two. You say you have a T1 line, OK. But should you really brag that you have it severally overloaded? A T1 these days is one notch below two cans and a string. 1.5 mbps at best. Low end DSL does that. With the number of ...

HolmanGT

mberlant,

I never knew you could make a phone disconnect via a tone sequence, I find that very interesting. Now I am trying to dream up a method of employing that to give someone a bad time, you know walk up behind them while they are in a business call in their cubicle with a little pocket tone ...

HolmanGT

I have 2 magic jacks. One works flawlessly. The other is marginally acceptable. Each Magic Jack is on it's own computer, that does nothing more than host the magic jack.

I have a T1 line inbound which feeds 9 computers. 6 Mac's and 3 windows boxes.

To resolve the problem with the problematic ...

Yes... much of the audio qualiry problems come from MagicJack's servers...

Yesterday, I had perfect sound quality... Today, I have much static (hissing sound) on all my calls...

tradertx,

Go with 3 rings, 2 rings and will get some folks P. O. at you for mandating a filter of the call before you answer.

Now that you have asked about the VM time limit on MJ, I honestly don't remember ever reading a spec on that here or on the MJ site.

But for a none technical question ...

HolmanGT

Don123,

I don't believe there is anything you can do on your end to eliminate the problem.

I have had it at times int the past where it was almost every call, lately it is pretty infrequent. Nothing has been changed on my end except for staying with the latest updates, which now has become very ...

HolmanGT

When I make a landline call to my MagicJack number, the MagicJack voicemail seems to cut in at about 4 1/2 rings. I'm seeing that my AT&T digital answering machine has a "Ring Select" feature that allows it to intercept calls at anywhere from 2 thru 7 rings, so it appears that any Ring Select ...

Yup !!! The desert air turns your brain into a prune. And at my age all ya have left is cynicism anyway, at least of the stuff ...

mberlent, my mj phone number and location are where I live as is my landline, plus I live where MJ has its headquarters. You would think if any place where service would be spectacular would be here, but it isn't. This probably means none of the MJ corp people use MJ.

Well after all that work of digging up the information it is good to see you still have a sense of humor left.

One thing that ...

HolmanGT

I have wondered about that from the very first MagicJack I set up.

I never had the nerve to say no figured I would end up with a One-Way MagicJack, not terrible useful that way.

What do you want to bet that Dan's lawyers know. :roll:

PS - Have you ever noticed the way we mere mortals refer to ...

HolmanGT

SuperSport1966,

You are very much correct about the back ports and no extension cable. I don't know why I even mentioned the front jacks, I always use the back for best results.

HolmanGT

CD,

Nice tip and work-around. We mortals salute you.

Also VOIP must be getting much bigger than I had imagined if Brothers is openly suggesting they are going to monitor the market and adjust their equipment accordingly.
