Skype's Downfall

Dear Skype Members,
I wish to share my personal experience and opinion on Skype's progression and how it has affected me.
First of all I am a long time Skype user so I go way back to 2006: i was a client way before the transition and sale to Microsoft so I started using skype in 2004.
I must say that over the years skype has come a long way and it has impressed me but when the Microsoft acquisition hit in 2011... A lot was changed.. Functionality, looks, feels, and it's protocol usages.
It has now become more problematic to even use skype then the ease of usage compared before the day of the Microsoft acquisition.
Let me give you some case an points:
1.  in Skype 6.18.0.106 That was the last Version that i obtained for my old computer: it still has windows XP PRo Sp3 32bit installed on it.. And because of the architectural nature of it's build it is only able to run that version smoothly with out locking or crashing my computer: Yes I have tried other versions including the latest version on that system but the higher the version is the more unstable my system become to handle: memory and CPU bandwidth are nearly trippled on average usage and function thus my CPU resources are nearly at 88% of the time of usage.. Doing Cam calls with a group also is resource hogging but  6.18.0.106 was the most stable version and less resource hogging application to use - Skype versions have been re designed; re scripted and re-functioned to be used on newer laptops and computer desktops.
What really makes me sad is that Microsoft did not consider the fact of the majority of the Microsoft and Desktop/laptop client base that cannot afford 600 dollars and up to get a new PC.
And even at the base prices for PCs and laptops... The newer architectural designs for these units (Despite having multi cores and Cuda cores ) still have a limit on their Processing power when you buy the Cheapest ones because that is all you can afford or at the time could afford.
Despite Microsoft Skype team and Programmers making intruding and forceful update requirements on the client consumer base in this world it is very difficult for those whom are unable to use skype to its full potential and be able to have good experience for the usage.
2. The newer versions up to the latest require more power: Microsoft thinks that since there is newer technology out there: they want to take advantage of the look and feel of how skype functions; this requires more power on the CPU/GPU areas including Ram, it also takes more bandwidth on your South and north Bridges.. Why do we need an application that takes more power?
Microsoft COME ON: People upgrade their Computers so that way they can handle the CURRENT APPLICATIONS they already have and make room for handling more apps! I had to save 2 months of money that i have earned within a year period just to get 1,200 dollars of spending power to create a new gaming rig.. That way I can use skype and everything else with ease...
But then Microsoft changes the functionality and look and feel of it? Thus increasing the System requirements to a higher ranking? Does anyone here feel like they are always in a Big fat HOLE that they cannot seem to get their way out of no matter how much they claw and kick up the wall of that hole to get out? Every time an update of Skype happens; More problems appear or something else gets removed and thus destroying and ruining the functionality of it's old true purpose!
Right now I am on a Computer that has the following build.. FX57 AMD so it has a good 2.8GHZ speed on it.. OCed to 3.0. It has a HT Link speed of 1Ghz, with a data width of 64Bits, 64 KB 2-way set associative instruction cache/data cache, with a Physical of Tb1, and 1 MB exclusive 16-way set associative cache with a 256 associated VT Memory with it. there is a total of  4Gigs of DDR1 pc3200 MHZ400; this is the max capable bandwidth/speeds available on the Motherboard. I have a Cache Drive that is 80GIGs with 8mb cache on the PCB, and has 7200RPMs on it's speed. I also have 2 500GIGs Hds that have have 16MBs cache o the PCs that are raided with striping method.
the GPU card is a GTX7900 with 512MBs so with this configuration it is a pretty good fast config for its time. Back then SKype in older versions ran soo smoothly but now with the latest versions.. It slags my PC like a snail.
I am going to be building a new system with newer components but guess what? There is going to be a time and place that my system will again become obsolete when it comes to running skype. When I first ran skype i had a old Emachines 633ids. it had 633 Intel celeron CPU with the max ability of ram on it which was one Gig. I was able to run Skype fine until updates from the old skype company did some changes to it thus increasing the requirements: that is how i ended up spending money to build the old gaming rig with the specs I just listed with the fx57 CPU and the rest. So this means I had to buy 2 computers so far just to keep using skype; 80% of the games (older games at least over 8 years old) I can still play perfectly fine on here.. I paid a lot of money for some of the work I do like Adobe soft and other programs that i use on this thing besides just gaming concerned: My point to all of this is, why must I always have to upgrade my PC or buy a new laptop just to bloody use the latest versions of skype?
Also considering the fact that Microsoft's Life Cycle Policy that was placed on Skype it has only caused more problems for us consumers, Support for older versions of skype is coming to an end as it has been posted on the news blog info site of skype.com.
so it is only going to put a strain on me: The point of skype is that back then skype was all about communication, Look and feel was not such an important thing to a lot of people, And if there ever was anyone that cared is it fair that those whom don't get punished for it?
Windows Live Messenger, was changed quite a bit over it's time, when I had the old Windows Live messenger I used to use just messenger, but then microsoft closed its ports and declined login capability : I was forced to use a newer version of skype that had more customizable look and feel for User pictures and the likes: The only real thing I liked about it was the grouping system and contact management as well as the new feature of Log files to be saved for chat.
It was still mostly a basic communication program that was used by millions: me being one of them, and if I wanted some insane changes done to the interface like idk.. make my entire bar and contacts look all purple or something or use sound boards or new icons i could simply install MSPLUS- I am sure a lot of you have heard of MSGPLus! just google it was a scripted API that allowed one to customize the look and functionality of WLM: Those who really wanted to change the way it looked and given it style. Still the simplicity and less resource hogging application WLM was one of the best achievements of all time when it came to communication reliability; i didn't mind the slight system requirements update on WLM, it wasn't so Drastic compared to Skype's!
And Finally one of the worst things that I have ever had to deal with skype:
Group moderation in chat: there is two types of chat systems; Cloud based and P2P based.
Every time someone creates a new group it auto creates by the default template from Skype itself and on the server: CLOUD-BASE, we do not for one get a choice when using CTRL+N or going to the menu bar to do so or when we add a few friends on our contact list to someone we are already talking with 1vs1, it turns it into a cloud.
I have four groups that i use: some for work, and leisure time. But I do not have full control and banishment and administrative tools available in the cloud: I think i want to be able to ban someone whom is causing problems whether it be temp or permanent, give people certain roles and abilities within the chat to help with moderation and functionality within my groups. Lucky enough there was a command that allowed you to do this:  /createmoderatedchat
But recently, Microsoft again stripped us of that functionality and you can only create this chat by using a version of skype 6.22.81.105 or higher: do you know how annoying this is? I actually had to create a portable skype with it's own database folder and run 6.22.81.105 just to create a moderated chat; on my old gaming rig I have to run 6.18.0.106 for reasons of performance concerns.
The latest version Skype 7.4.0.102 - When creating a group; and your the creator, you will NOT be able to see your group you just created in older versions of skype, Do you know how stupid this is? if I use the latest version of skype on my old gaming rig and log in: Oh yes I can see it just Fine, but in older versions I cannot.
If I create a P2P moderated chat in Skype 7.4.0.102 and also set a picture to the group profile properties: it will not show to older users, I don't know why this is like this but it just is.
Here is some things I noticed now:
Latest version creating a group chat p2p based:
6.22.81.105 cannot see the group you just made, (You will not appear inside the chat yo just made it won't be listed on your chat history or anything)
6.21.0.104, and 6.18 also cannot see the group you just made in 7.4.0.102
Basically anything below version 7.4.0.102 that has a P2P based group you made: it will not reflect in older versions.
This means my acquaintances, friends, and business clients that wish to have a group meeting with me, they will not be able to see themselves in another computer: lets say they have a new PC and create the new group: then they have to suddenly run off and so they take their laptop with them: which has an older version of skype and have to run that version of skype for performance issues, well guess what: they wont see themselves!
This is how stupid Skype has become!
I have to run 3 different versions of skype just to Do what I need to do on a daily basis!
Now Skype community: tell me this has really started to get really ridiculous? Because it really has!
oh and if I set a profile picture for the group chat i made; that will only show to ALL users with all versions if i create the modded Group chat in skype 6.22.81.105, then set a picture: it will reflect and show in the latest version of skype and also in my old 6.18 version..
And finally the last bit that really just killed the look of skype: What is up with all the bloody circles?!
I mean really it is like Skype/Microsoft stole the idea of circles from GOogle/Youtube and Imperial online when it came to profile pictures for your self and each user in a group or 1vs1 conversation.
Do I really have to go through all the trouble now of right clicking on a person to see their full profile picture now because their picture is bloody trimmed EVEN MORE around the entire edges? Ya i really want half my face CUT OFF to all my clients and friends when they want to find a picture of my face and see its mee and IM me, oh and I just really love it when it does that too to my group pictures like Cavedog Entertainment, or even Bricksquad: So much for properly showing my Company Logos of PCER, LTD, and Random00Six to my clients.
It's like Microsoft just coppied the idea from Imperial online and Youtube/Google+: But again who the bloody heck wants Circles?
Circles
Look Skype community: I can understand that many of you may want to change the way Skype looks, feels and it's functionality, I don't blame the community at all: you should have the right to change the way you want skype to act and feel to your desires, but I blame Microsoft: it is not fair that everyone should be forced into using the ideas of someone elses, Skype should have been left to 3rd party developers whom wish to code and create scripts to modify the way skype looks, just like MSGPlus! did with Windows Live Messenger, but you have to understand there is some that just don't want to or care to change the way their Skype looks and want to keep it that way.
I have used Yahoo Messenger, AIM and other MSGing applications: NONE OF Them have done this stupid circle thing. Look for ICQ, AIM, and Yahoo messenger latest Versions. They still have a boxed picture profiling system and they give you the option to customize the way it looks a lot better then skype did, and some of these messenger apps still are simplistic and easy.
With these latest versions of these messengers I just named off: They all still work better then skype: I can run AIM, Yahoo messenger, ICQ, mIRC, and can have a yahoo call going on with video streaming and not lag my computer to Crap: if I can run all those messengers simultanoiusly, but must painfully (sometimes it crashes my PC) pulling out my hair, and barely run skype alone: there is obviously something seriously wrong here!
Has Microsoft not learned anything?: It is like the company has sacraficed Quality Performance and Simplicity for Beauty, they already did a horrible job of making windows 8 look like a overblown cattle bag of Mac OS Leopard's quickstart Bar: Window's 8's Start system with app lists is completely over exaggerated with a bunch of boxes blowing up your screen (Not even Mac Leopard and up had Application buttons and quickstart bar this complex and intruding!); and making the application search ability so complex that it takes longer just to work your apllications then compared to Windows XP.
Widows XP was the most outstanding operating system I have ever worked with and it has been a operating system that I have recommended for PC Desktop users since it is appearance, yes that is 14 years of exccellence when it came to a good OS; yes it had some flaws but it sure as heck was easier to use; and Microsoft patched up a lot of issues and security problems. I still semi recommend that operating system; but because of the life cycle issues I now recommend Windows 7.
Summary: the overall preformence and usage of Skype has dwindled greatly, and i must say, skype is no longer my main communication program anymore and I am sure that other users have had to find/ go back to an older application they used to use or are stuck with skype because that is where their friends and family are on so they have, so they use an older version.
I just wish that the old Skype was back, but those days are long gone, and one person whom shares their experiences of 11 years of usage would make any sound what so ever to the ears' of Microsoft.
I echo the pain and suffering of many skype users whom I have read countless Community forum complaints of problems with skype ever since Skype's Acquisition: it has bettered some users, but for others like my self; it has only caused problems and has made me to turn away from Skype.
I wish you all good luck in your Communication protocol issues and hope for the best.
Kind Respects,

  • Cannot Call 0800 or 0845 etc. numbers using Skype ...

    Hi,
    Whenever I try to call a UK 0800 or 0845 Number using the Skype Connectme Box, the line goes dead after an initial couple of seconds of the usual "skype warbling".
    I have tried dialling the number as is - I.e. 0800 123456 and also using the UK codes with and without the leading zero  - I.e. 00 44 0800 1234546 and 00 44 800 123456.
    The Skype Connectme is NOT connected to a normal landline - It is Skype only.
    When dialling using the Skype system on my Windows Laptop, the calls go through perfectly.
    As I need to call these types of numbers regularly, can someone please tell me what the solution is ASAP.
    Thanks,
    Ros

    I don't believe what I said was incorrect in whole.  In the past 10 years countries (including Egypt) and several ISPs have handled Skype differently throughout the years.  Toll-free numbers do filter their calls, even I filter my calls with my call forwarding service for my virtual home number separate from my Skype number.
     If what you are saying is correct then that would fall under the category of steps taken to prevent abuse and fraud.  If a decision like that was made, it may have also been made at the behest of others and was probably not made lightly.  A deny of that nature may supersede the ability to allow an individual account to be waived.  Even if it could be, the abuse rate may be so high and sporatic even by multiple appearingly good, long standing accounts that it may make the ability to allow virtually unmanageable.  
    It sounds rather unfortunate in this case that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.  The only time I've personally come across a seemingly global restriction on a set of numbers by Skype, is when it was actually followed by the error message "You can't call this number on Skype right now".  I would hope you would have received a similar error of that nature alluding to a restriction in place but then again that might not be an option for a regionally or IP deny range.  I don't know if a proxy or VPN tunnel would change things or be a viable solution for you.
    Toll-free numbers generally have some form of toll number counterpart or alternate means  of communication.  The only major downfall of that is having to pay for that toll call.

  • Skype hangs when I login with my ID

    Hi
    I have two skype accounts. One for office and one personal. Till yesterday I was able to use both. Today am able to login to skype using my office ID but when I login using my personal skype ID ([Removed for privacy]) skype stops responding. I am able to login using this ID on my phone. I uninstalled and installed skype again, changed my password, but nothing seems to work. Please look into this issue.
    I can also login to skype.com using this ID and post this topic.
    Thanks

    Try to reset all Skype settings.
    Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
    If you are on the latest Skype 6.5/6.6/6.7/6.9/6.10/6.11/6.13/6.14 version, then do also this:
    Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
    Restart Skype.
    N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

    If you do not lock that folder immediately after deleting all the contents, it will simply populate again (Resume - a "feature" in Lion). You do that by doing a Get Info (highlight folder and press Command + I keys), unlock the lock at the bottom, enter your admin password, then check the box to lock the folder. lock the lock and you're done.
    Yes, that is correct. The alternative is to quit all applications prior to logging out. Lion will then have a chance to remove the saved states.
    babowa also wrote:
    And, for the OP:
    It has also been a regular feature of Mac OS to automatically open any window that was open at shutdown. To avoit that behavior, simply close any Finder windows and  properly quit applications by closing their window and using Command + Q (or File >Quit).
    This was true only for the Finder. Prior to Lion, no other apps would launch unless they were included in the Login Items for the account. And the OS would not restore windows for other apps.
    A very small number of apps (TextWrangler is an example) implemented this capability prior to Lion. They could restore previously opened windows. But that is an application feature, and can be controlled by the application's preferences. Lion implements it at the system level, and users have virtually no control on a per application basis.

  • Facebook and skype notifications

    I have a lumia 920 and can't get fb and skype notifications work.
    The worked just after the installation of the apps, but then they stopped working.
    The apps are fine, I just don't see toast nor tile notifications.
    Any ideas? This isn't a borderline issue for a smartphone..
    Fabio

    I'm not talking about FB chat. That is ok on my phone.
    I'm referring to facebook notifications instead (comments, likes and so on):
    Me tile has too much limited functionalities (for instance no groups notifications..), thus I installed FB Microsoft app.
    In the app notifications are sometimes working. But most of the time I couldn't get them, even after a long time after their publishing.
    It seems to be a facebook app issue in this case, but is it possible on a smartphone to lack social functionalities like this? I'm not talking about minor socials web sites, but Facebook.
    The forum is plenty of topics describing exactly this issue, but no solutions yet.
    Does someone have any news?

  • Remote users of one Skype account

    Hi.
    I have a Skype account and have just added 2 new members to my team who will be working from home. Can I give them access to use my buisness Skype account to make calls form their own PCs in their own home or do I need to setup a new account with calls subscription for each of them on thier own machine?
    Any advice will be gratefully received.

    Hi, Language Angels, and welcome to the Community,
    I would strongly urge a review the Terms of Use and Fair Usage policies prior to proceeding:  http://www.skype.com/en/legal/
    Allowing multiple people to use one account is not only mentioned in the Terms of Use as not allowed, but could also find the account suspended as an anti-fraud measure.  Best to create new accounts and add the needed subscriptions and/or credit.   You might also research if Skype Manager would be useful:  http://www.skype.com/en/features/skype-manager/
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • Windows 7 Crash (Blue Screen) with Skype 6.18 on H...

    Hi,
    I think a lot of people are having the same problem with Skype 6.18 on HP Pavilion notebooks.
    Windows 7 crashes during the auto-update or installation of 6.18 
    After about 3-4 hours of troubleshooting the Blue Screen / service exception error (in ks.sys) I discovered that it's caused by the HP HD Webcam [Fixed] driver (version is 6.0.1113.1 released 2012-11-20 (or 20-11-2012)).
    The driver is written by Sonix and is unlikely to be updated. So you have the choice of going back to an older version of Skype or disabling the webcam / driver through Device Manager. As soon as you disable the driver / device Skype will install / start - but of course you won't be able to use video during Skype calls.
    Hopefully Microsoft / Skype will fix the driver incompatibility in a future release.
    Skype Support - the issue is with the HP / Sonix driver - file is snp2uvc.sys
    There are similar issues reported with a previous version of the HP HD Webcam driver as well (SPUVCBv_x64.sys).
    Please fix it. I'd like to use video in calls again!

    The best working solution at this time is to download and install Skype 6.14 and disable updates.  If you still get prompts to upgrade you can ignore them and the program should continue to function as it has not been retired as of yet.  Hopefully there will be a resolution in a future Skype update or an updated driver from HP that might resolve the issue.

  • Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

    Hello, I've updated the iPhone I have got I have a problem I hope you respond to some of the applications no longer work, such as the safari and skype and many applications are no longer working with the ios7.0.4

    Standard troubleshooting...
    1. Try a Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the slider.  Slide to power off.  Restart by pressing the sleep/lock button until you see the Apple logo.
    2. Try a Reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    3. Remove apps from Recently Used (multi-tasking) list...
    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Swipe up on the app preview card to remove it from the list
    - Press the home button when done.
    4. If still a problem restore with your backup.
    5. If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
    6. If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.

  • How to find out skype user sending me sms?profile....

    Hi All.
    Its of high importance for me to find out the user id of an unknown person sending my wife SMS's through SKYPE. The number showing up from the sender is +442032892491. Upon googling, i found that this number is linked to Skype so if any user sends a sms without setting a number in profile, the default number shows up as above.  Its very important for me to know who has been sending messages to my wife mobile. Can any one please suggest. I also tried sending a message back from my wife mobile to the same number +442032892491 but not sure if its actually reaching there.
    Pls help.
    Regards
    Vishal

    I am definetly starting to think I don't actually have a skype name. Now I tried again since the 24 hour restriction went off. First from Skype webpage ->sign in -> forgotten your skype name? ->there I enter my hotmail address ->send mail ->
    then it moves off from Skype and into account.live.com, where it's no longer asking anything Skype related:
    Why are you having trouble signing in?
    I forgot my password
    I know my password, but can't sign in
    I think someone else is using my Microsoft account
    So I obviously choose the second option last time since it's the closest available option for my problem, but then it gives me options:
    Get back into your accountWe can help you reset your password and security info. First, enter your Microsoft account and the characters shown.
    So again it asked for my address and captcha, and after that I could choose to "verify my identity" by choosing the alt email, but since that is slight garbled and cannot be differented from the primary address, and I was already so pissed off from typing the same address over and over, so at that point I mistakenly wrote the main address again where it wanted to verify it by asking the whole alternative address and thus it never sent the account reset email for the Microsoft/Live account.
    But since I originally had no problems with that Microsoft account, all I wanted was the "Skype Name", and since the only way to try to find it jumps into the restore Microsoft account thing,  I'm assuming I don't have one which I could use to login to Skype, so all I can use is the Microsoft/Live account.
