Bad Media Description

We have seen this error in two scenarios:

  1. Mismatched codec - your Handset’s ‘Registration Options’ in Noojee Contact should have the following codec selected:

  • alaw

2) Chrome extensions

It appears that some chrome extensions can interfere with Noojee Phone’s operations.

Ad blocker looks to be a likely candidate.

To see if this is the problem disable all your chrome extensions:

  1. On your computer, open Chrome.

  2. At the top right, click  More tools | Extensions.

  3. Make your changes:

    • Turn on/off: Turn the extension on or off.

       

Registration Failed

This can be caused by a variety of issues but here are a few things you can check:

  • Disable all Chrome Extensions

  • Disable any Proxies

  • Disable any Firewall

  • Disable anti-virus

  • Call Noojee for help.

Don’t forget to re enable your firewall and/or anti-virus if you disable them.

Can’t install Noojee Phone

After logging into Noojee Admin you see the green ‘Phone’ button rather than the green ‘Install’ button.

Green Phone Icon

Green Install Icon

The most likely cause is that Noojee Phone is already installed on your PC.

To check, enter the following url into Chrome.

chrome://apps

Look for the Noojee Phone Icon. If it appears then Noojee Phone is already installed.

Right click on the Noojee Phone Icon and choose the ‘Remove from Chrome…’ option.

Log out of you Windows/Mac OS desktop.

Log back to your Desktop and Noojee Admin and you should now be able to install Noojee Phone.
