Quality issues with calls from US to Korea

I've always been a big fan of Skype. I have a premium account and I use "Skype to go" to call from the US to South Korea. Starting about 5 months ago, the quality of these calls has severely degraded. It is almost not worth the call. It is very difficult for me to hear the people I've called and for them to hear me as well. There is no Skype customer support contact phone number listed anywhere on the Skype website that I can find. Otherwise, I'd be addressing this issue with a real person. Is there a reason for this call quality degradation? Is there a fix in work? Is there a customer service number I can call? Is it time for me to leave Skype?

rates are available on http://www.skype.com/en/rates/  just enter Itay in the destination and check the rates lower down the page.
If you are going to make a lot of calls - check the subscriptions available too...
There are subscriptions that include landlines and mobiles as well

  • Photo Quality Issues with Pixma MG6220

    I am frustrated.  The first photo printed from this printer was of poor quality.  It was very 'grainy' and 'noisey'.  I printed from the printer itself (put camera card into printer).  I then printed from Picasa, same problem, very poor quality.  It was then a couple of months before I attempted printing again.  I printed from PS Elements 11.  The quality was much improved but not what I expected from this printer.  I finally called tech support, after tweaking every setting I could find.  They essentially blamed my computer, wanted to reinstall the drivers and I need to buy new ink cartridges.  It's NOT my computer.  I'm curious as to why they think it's the drivers.  It very well could be bad cartridges.  The printer was purchased in December (six months ago).  I'm wondering why the photo software would make a difference.  I'm irritated that the people I spoke with seemed completely incurious as to what, exactlly, was wrong with the photos.  It would appear that no on else has had this issue.  The reviews for this printer were very good.  I can't imagine reviewing these images and stating that they are "excellent" as I have read from many reviews.  I'll be more than happy to attach scanned images for review (scanner works fine).  Thank you. 

    Hi,
    Check this for scanned images and originals for reference:
    http://flickr.com/gp/skital/Y9615F
    (you can download full-res versions there as well - it's a bit hidden if you don't know flickr)
    This was using Canon Glossy II photo paper and NOT Canon Ink. I was trying different replacement inks over the time and I had similar results.
    I'm a little bit hesitant with spending more money on this printer, esp. that I had never have this kind of quality issues with my previous Canon printer (MP600) when using non canon inks - I had color issues but never grainess.
    Well, I may try original inks again, but it breaks a deal for this printer.

  • Quality issues with IDVD solved

    Hi All
    RE. Best looking IDVD playback.
    May this help all those stuggling with quality issues with perfect looking Qtime files encoded by IDVD coming out looking crap.
    Simply this: instead of exporting your media from your FCP timeline in H.264 - instead select Motion JPEG A. This is found under your setting options in your Qtime movie/settings export window.
    Your files will export much, much faster than Apple's default setting of H.264, you will also get very smooth playback wihtout any jaggies or nasty artifacts. Files are a larger but, hey, it just looks great.
    Let me know if this works for you - it took me ages to figure this out!
    Best regards

    Good info. I'll keep this in mind next time.

  • TS2681 quality issues with I pad 3, now on my 4th in 3 weeks

    Quality issues with the new Ipad 3 , now on my 4th  in 3 weeks ,  each time marks  / scraches in the metal case are evident,  not what i expect from apple , unable to e mail direct,  

    One of two things is happening.
    1) You have had an unusual run of bad luck. So, return it and try again.
    2) With all respect, you may be so picky, you'll never be satisfied.

  • Recurring quality issues with HP Elitebook 6930p

    Good afternoon to all forumers,
    I am trying to find out if anyone besides me have the same recurring quality issues with HP Elitebook 6930p? Although these issues have all been resolved by HP. I find it very inconvenient since this is a business notebook and these issues have cause me a lot of down time and grievances. A list of my Elite book issues.
    Warped LCD panel causing the latch not to work. (1 time)
    Dead pixels on new LCD panel replacement (1 time).
    Deteriorated touch pad rubber left button, which I don't use. (1 time)
    Keyboard not working. (2 times)
    Screw holding the top sdie switch panel came off on one corner. Reason being, the screw holder cracked (1 time).
    Reading lack cover on the LCD panel cracked on its own. I rarely use this. (1 time).
    Notebook overheating. The cooling element not working properly. (1 time).
    Defective power adapter, loose contact at adapter  (1 time). Replaced within warranty period.
    I do not know whether to term this as` unlucky' or to say that today's HP business notebook has not got the `Quality' a business notebook should have. I have used other business notebook from HP, namely 2 models from the nx series but they are not as bad as the Elitebook except for the same high operating temperature issue.
     Is there any course of action that I can take up with HP Malaysia? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    -Keith CK Loo

    Hi, Keith:
    I have a 6930p and was leery about getting one, after reading this link below from the business support forum, but I only paid $499 for it brand new. I couldn't pass up a deal like that.
    http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-HP-ProBook-Compaq-Slate/6930p-Quality-Issues/m-p/1066713#M1505...
    I heard that many of the issues you and the others that posted were improved/fixed by HP later on in production. My notebook was built in December of 2010, so it was pretty much the last of the line.
    I have not experienced any problems with mine thus far, after 8 months of light use.  I have tested every component at least once. I know the latch issue was fixed on later models.

  • Why am I getting flooded with calls from a deactivated verizon wireless number?

    Im not a verizon customer, but after spending several hours on the phone with their customer support to no avail, Im turning to the community for help.
    The past two days Ive been flooded with calls from verizon wireless numbers in MO (mostly 636 area code). I try answering, no response. I call back, and after ringing twice I get a prerecorded message - "The verizon wireless number you're trying to call has been changed, disconnected, or is no longer in service", even when calling back seconds of the original call. Occasionally a voicemail is left, and its nothing but exactly 5 seconds of silence.
    This is getting very frustrating, since its almost constant. Im averaging 4 calls an hour between the hours of 10am and 9pm, with a couple up until 11pm. I have no idea whats going, and its getting quite irritating, and Im burning through minutes checking and deleting all the voicemails.
    Just for reference, some of the numbers are -
    >Phone numbers deleted<
    And they all give the same verizon message when called.
    Any ideas or suggestions are great.

    Your device may have this option:
    If I get an annoying call, I will add them to my contact list as Spam and block the number on my device. The call will go straight to VM and funny, a message is never left.Problem Solved.
    Also I agree with Jim, if this is a new number for you, just have it changed.

  • Issues with importing from excel

    I have been running into a several issues with importing from Excel.
    First my configuration
    I am running SQL Developer ver 1.5.5 Build MAIN-5969
    I am on a Windows XP Professional Version 2002 with Service Pack 3
    I am importing into an Oracle 10g database.
    1. SQL Developer doesn't work on Excel 2007, I have to save all my files into Excel 97-2003 format before I can use them.
    2. If I run into an error loading and stop the process, SQL Developer doesn't release the Excel file and I get a sharing violation if I try to save the spreadsheet without closing SQL Developer.
    3. I have found that I have to set print area to the area I want to work with, otherwise the import wizard tries to keep adding rows.
    4. When using the Import wizard, it keeps adding commas on fields with numerics unless I specify the column in excel as text. Currently the column is formatted as General in the spreadsheet or I can change the wizard format to say the column is an integer, but it actually is just a code field with numeric characters so it may have leading zeroes that I need to keep.
    This might be related,
    I have a column in excel defined as text but only contains numerics. It is of length 4, but the wizard sets a precision of 5 with a datatype of VARCHAR2. If I try to change it to 4, I get an error saying the field is not large enough. Yet, when I do a LEN on the column, it only gives me a 4. I have other fields in the same sheet that a 3 position numeric and 2 position numeric and those are fine. I am thinking this is related to the comma being inserted in a numeric field for anything greater than 3 positions.
    5. Importing excel dates to oracle dates doesn't work. I have to convert the excel date column to text then import as a VARCHAR, then convert to Date once in the database.
    6. The default of nullible is not set on any columns and I have to set them before the import. (I would prefer it set to nullible and I have to uncheck the box to make it not nullible. I would prefer to import all of the data and then deal with the nulls after they have been pulled in)
    7. When I select header columns included it uses that as the column names. Is it possible to do the name length check then? It has bit me a few times where I try to import and forget to check the name length and then I get an error when I start running the import.
    8. If one of the columns to import has all nulls, then the precision comes out to 0 and if it isn't changed an error occurs on import. Could this situation default to a precision of 1?
    9. It would be nice if there was a completion message displayed and a cancel option while running.

    On point 3.
    I have a column in excel that consists of numbers. 4 digit numeric codes. Ex, 1111, 2345, etc
    The column's format is general. It displays as just 4 numbers.
    When I start the wizard initially, the column appears with data as 1,111, 2,345, etc, on the Data Preview screen.
    It determines the precision to be 5 on the column definition screen.
    If I change the precision to 4 then continue, that field will error out when I verify with "not big enough to hold the data in source columns"
    If, I change the excel column to a TEXT column.
    Excel still displays as 1111, 2345, etc
    The wizard then displays the same data 1111, 2345 on the Data Previeiw screen
    Yet, when I get to the column definition screen it still sizes it as a 5
    If I change it to a 4, I get the same error when verifying.
    If I leave them alone as 5, then it processes just fine.

    Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
    Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
    Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
    NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
    LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

  • Issue with calling custom function in merge command -10g

    Hi,
    I have ran into issue while calling a custom function in merge command.
    It throws error 'Invalid identifier'. Oracle doesnt understand that it is a function and take the function name as column name.
    Since no such collumn name exists, it throws 'Invalid identifier'.
    Interestingly, merge command works fine when it has a oracle function (replace, decode).
    The oracle version is 10.2.0.3
    It is very urgent.
    Any pointers will be helpful.
    Regards,
    Ravi

    I don't have privileges to create dblink, but this is working for me.
    So, i don't think function can be a issue here.

  • Quality issues with VGA port on Type 2504 docking station

    Hi,
    I see quality issues on the VGA output of the Type 2504 docking station with a T61. The monitor image is blurred, not much, but enough to be irritating. When I compare the DVI output with the VGA output on two equal NEC MultiSync LCD 2170NX monitors it is a clear difference. If I connect the LCD monitor to the VGA output of the T61 itself, the picture is clean. I have tried both monitors with different cables in different configurations and also adjusted monitors manually, and my conclusion is that it must be the VGA output of the 2504 that generates the un-sharpness. I have got several 2504 docking stations from the IT department to test and all attempts show the same unsharp picture on the LCD connected to the VGA port of any 2504. Recently a colleague got a new laptop and docking station. He also used DVI and VGA on the old setup and had no visible difference between the two monitors. His new setup is a different T but his new dock is also a 2504. Now he has clear difference between his monitors. He also tried several 2540 docks and cables but the difference is still present.
    The unsharpness is not immediately present when just looking at a dual head setup. But after a while it becomes tiresome to look at text, specially black on white, on the monitor connected to the VGA port. There is a slight shadow on the right side of all letters. When looking at non-aliased fonts, they look as if aliased on the VGA connected monitor. Already aliased fonts tend to "smear" and I have the unpleasant feeling that my eyes are not focusing correctly.
    My question is: Is there a different VGA DAC on the docking station, or are the analog signals just wired through from the laptop VGA DAC? Older IBM docks do not have this problem, we have a lot of them at work in dual head configuration with DVI + VGA to compare, and we only see this problem with the 2504.

    VGA is an analogue signal... so it can be affected by the quality of DAC chip used by the GPU associated electronics, the quality of connectors on the vga out and dock (that is why good analgoue audio equipment use gold plated stuffs) and the quality of copper wire and shiedling used in the cable (i.e. Low Oxygen Content Copper wire).
    The above is general description for all people to use <---- so please don't feel offended if i repeat something that is already said. 
    There is NO conversion electronics on the dock per se, they are just passthrough, so no conversion.
    I guess the problem lies with improper shielding somewhere. I have the same problem with my T61/60 and dock and my T40,41,42,43 on five different docks. 
    So i have ended up using lenovo usb2dvi converter on T61 and have two dvi output and bypassed the vga altogether.

  • Quality issues with slideshows

    Hi,
    I'm a long term user of PE v9 (basic editing & burning of home vids & slideshows), but I've just bought a new computer & upgraded to Photoshop & PE v11.
    The first slideshow I created (created in Photoshop & exported to PE for adding music, titles etc) had a lot of issues:
    Some of the photos were rotated 90 degrees & stretched (which I noticed & cut out prior to burning), but more importantly,
    The end product once burned to DVD is of terrible quality.
    I seem to recall that when I first set up PE 9 I set a project quality standard that all future projects would follow unless I changed it.  I've looked everywhere in PE 11 & I can't find where this is set.  I'm not overly technical and I'm out of ideas re: where to look to fix these quality issues.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Cozzie.

    Hi Apple Miga,
    I've spent literally hours on this trying all sorts of combinations of settings and ways & means of initiating a slideshow.  To my surprise & absolute elation, I finally had a partial win late last night.  I finally got the quality of the slides to be as good as I've been getting for years with PrE v7.  I haven't been able to work out the rotation & stretching of some photos yet, but I'm at least I've got good quality on the photos that didn't rotate (which is the bulk of them).
    Here's what I did, triggered by a comment above by VDOSurfer (thankyou VDOSurfer).  I had actually already tried setting the project settings to DV-PAL (instead of AVCHD-PAL which I'd been using successfully with PrE v7) a couple of times with the same poor results, but I tried it again in a different order as follows:
    Open PrE11.
    Select 'New Project' (ie not existing project)
    Once the new project opens up, select File, New Project (from the file menu at the top of the screen)
    Click on 'Change Settings' at the bottom of the dialog box.  I noticed here that my settings were always defaulting to NTSC/AVCHD 1080p60.  So I changed this to PAL/DV Widescreen 48kHz (I live in Australia, so if you're in the US, I guess you'd select NTSC/DV Widescreen 48kHz).
    Click on the checkbox 'Force selected project settings on this project'.
    Click on Add Media
    I added my slideshow from Photoshop because I'd already prepared it in that product, but you should be able to add it from wherever your photos live.
    Click on Publish+Share, select DVD & Disk, ensure PAL_DOLBY_Widescreen DVD is selected.  (If you're in the US, this would be NTSC).
    Burn as normal.
    This worked very well for me.  Hope it helps.  Please let me know how you go.
    If anyone has any thoughts on how to stop the random rotation & stretching, I'd love to hear.  Note that photos that are rotated & stretched start off in the correct rotation in Photoshop Elements v11 prior to exporting to PrE 11.
    Thanks,
    Cozzie.

  • Long standing issue with Caller Display

    Hello, I hope someone may be able to help.
    We have had no caller display service since just before Christmas, some six or so weeks ago now.
    I must have called 151 nearly 10 times, received several calls back, one visit from Openreach, made three BT complaints, had my reported fault closed several times as the "end user says it is working" (I presume that is me? I certainly havent told anyone at BT it is working!), and must have been on the phone trying to solve this issue for more than 5 or 6 hours in total.  What a waste of my time.
    Essentially, my elderly and disabled parents receive lots of marketing, sales, unwanted type phonecalls etc, and with caller display previously it has helped them decide if they want to pick up the phone or not.  They want to answer calls to friends and family etc, but not to these "nuisance" calls.
    Everything worked fine til just before Christmas, when we found out Caller Display was now going to be a chargeable service.  I dont mind paying for something if it works, and we "opted in".
    However, we still have difficulties with caller display.
    17070 works fine.
    *#234# tells me callers ID will be displayed.
    Several openreach engineers checked exchange and uploaded new software etc.
    The problem still exists some 6 or more weeks on!
    This cannot continue.  I am just going round in circles all the time, speaking with various people on the phone at BT. 
    What can I do next?  Citizens Advice?, Ombudsmen?, letter to BT Chairman? 
    We are not happy bunnies here, but if anyone could help......I would be exceptionally grateful!!
    Thank you.

    Not good.  Can I get a refund please on the caller ID service as I believe I have been paying £1.75/month since January 4th?
    I still want to problem sorted by the way......
    Any update RobbieMac?
    Thanks.
    Did you agree a new contract  because in your earlier post you say

    if you did then you will not have been paying for caller ID

  • Has Apple addressed poor sound quality issues with new 160GB iPod classic?

    I just bought a new 160GB iPod classic, replacing a perfectly good 80GB iPod Video (5.5), thinking that the newer one would be superior to my 3 year old model. I discovered that the sound of the new unit was flat and muddy compared to the older model. I found that the 5th gen iPod video was more "spacial", if that's an appropriate word to use; the bass was more present and more clearly defined, as was the rest of the sonic spectrum. I searched several forums to research this issue and while there were numerous references to this issue, all of the posts I found referred to the original iPod classics (80GB and 160GB) and not the later 120GB classics nor the new 160GB classics like the one I bought. Has Apple done anything to address this issue since the first classics were released or are the new ones still suffering from the same sound quality issues as the original classics?

    Based on your observations here, they apparently have not changed the sound quality since the original 160GB classic. I noticed a clear narrowing of the sound stage (ambiance) between the 5.5G 80Gb and my 6G 160GB. You're describing the same characteristic. I don't own the newest 160GB version and came here today to see if it might have improved the sound quality back to the 5.5 spaciousness. Note that the 5.5G has a higher signal to noise ratio than the 6G, making it difficult for me to enjoy it through efficient balanced armature in ear monitors like the Shure SE530s or Ulimate Ears Triple.Fi 10s.
