Subject: Re: [TechTalk] Google Voice not ringing when receiving an incoming call

 

The answer to your question is, "Yes," as far as experiencing this problem.  Recently Google Voice seems to be "not ringing" more frequently than it does ring.  I've had similar problems in the past with Hangouts, too.  I have never found anything the end user can do to fix this, and believe me, I've tried.

At least under Windows 10 I am getting a pop-out notification (once known as a toast) when an incoming call is arriving and can know I need to answer that way.

This morning, Google Voice is actually ringing on my computer but not on my smartphone.

Brian,

I didn’t ask you for your sarcasm! I asked you a simple question yesterday, and you gave no answer. I think you are missing the whole point, you said in your email, I will want to install the add-ons, and I asked you why. Now, you could have just told me why I would want to do that, or you could have at least just said the answer is in your tutorial, and I would need to download it if I wanted my question answered. I had no way of knowing that. Now, if you want to call that spoon feeding me, so be it. my intent was not to upset you, or not to insult you, so I’m sorry if you feel that way. I’m just replying to this to let you know what I was asking, and why I didn’t know the answer was in your tutorial.

Once again, I never installed any add-ons to any of my programs, I never use Thunderbird before. I will not explain myself any more is to why I asked a simple question. So many people are afraid to ask a question, for fear of something like this. Some people ask a question, and they feel like they just got a slap in the face.

Notepad generally won't read word processor documents properly unless they
are text files created in the word processor. Wordpad or something like
JARTE with the compatibility pack should be used in a case like this. I'm
not saying other word processors shouldn't be used. I'm naming those I know
will work as desired. If this particular document reads properly in
Notepad, that's fine but that isn't what should be used for docx documents.

Brian,

Thank you, but I already downloaded your tutorial, and opened it like Gene
said which is much easier, through Notepad. Well Brian, you can believe it
or not, but I never got any MS Word document saying in protected mode, until
I got yours. I’ve been using MS Word as well as Outlook for at least 36
years now. I’ve never liked it, and I’m never going to. LOL! I have no
problems opening an attachment either, or at least not yet! I guess we can
call this a mystery! Smile!

Having said all that, as I am reading your tutorial, I can understand it
just fine, but I can’t find where to install the add ons, and I am following
your easy instructions though.

Janet,

I am more than willing to assist with the protected mode issue, if
necessary. I cannot believe that you have never opened something you've
downloaded, or detached from an e-mail message, that has not behaved
similarly, as this behavior is years-old.

There should be a button that allows you to, at the very least, read a
MS-Word document if you find yourself in such a situation, but it has been
so long since I've gotten that warning I cannot remember what the button
says. I routinely turn off protected mode for all office documents.

What follows is a very recent post on this issue, from the JAWS for Windows
Group, by Bill White that may help you get around this issue:

MS Word actually has a number of features to protect you from various
threats that are spread via Word files. One of these features (opens in a
new tab)

in the read-only mode so it can’t affect your computer negatively.

This may be the reason why your documents always open in the read-only mode.
Turning this option off should fix the issue for you.

list of 2 items



1. Open MS Word on your computer.

2. Click on the Options option at the lower-left corner and it’ll open the
settings menu.

3. Click on the General tab in the left sidebar if you aren’t already there.
Then on the right-hand side menu, scroll down and find the option that says

Open e-mail attachments and other uneditable files in reading view.

4. Uncheck the box for the option and click on OK to save the changes.

5. The Word files you’ve received as email attachments should now open in
regular mode letting you edit them however you want.

While I have no objection to turning off protected mode, the easiest thing

I'm not sure what accounts for what you were describing earlier, but if I didn't tell you this before, it may save you problems. 

 

When you open something like options in Thunderbird, after you work in it, close it with control f4.  Alt f4 closes the program but if you haven't closed options first, when you reopen the program, you will be in options again.  Closing options and returning to the main window will avoid you being somewhere else when the program opens again.

Brian, you said I would want to install the Quick Folder Key Navigation extension/add-on. 
I asked you why, in other words, why would I want to install that, but yes, you gave no explanation is to why would I want to do that.  I am just replying to this for clarification purposes.  .   .

I have never used Thunderbird, and I have never had to install any add-ons for any program before.  So, I wanted to know.  I’m a firm believer in there is no stupid question, so if I don’t know something, I’m sorry if that bothers you, but I will continue to ask questions until I learn what I want to learn! 

Thank you for letting me know about what I call a toggle feature, meaning pressing f6, It remembers where you last were when you closed it, and that's where it opens, as I didn’t know that either.

          I know of almost no screen reader users who are not accustomed to using first letter navigation in the folder tree in an e-mail client, and virtually all e-mail clients support this natively, but not Thunderbird.  Without the add-on, you cannot first letter navigate in your folder tree.

          The tutorial states, in its intro covering this add-on:  This allows you to jump from folder in the folder tree using first letter navigation to move between them.
