What does call failed and call busy mean?

I call my bf on Skype every time I see him on there and it rings and eventually it says call failed and sometimes it will say call busy, what does call failed and call busy mean?

If a call is marked as "Call ended" does this guarantee the other person ended the call, or can it also mean the call disconnected or was dropped?
Was talking with someone and at one point the "Call ended - call dropped". Few other times it was just marked as "Call ended", they have bad internet. So is it possible the "Call ended" means the call was dropped due to internet or were they for definite hanging up?
Thanks
Hi WuTom,
From experience, it depends on the platform which you are using. In my case, my boyfriend is using Skype for iPhone and I am using Skype for Mac. Sometimes I find that the "Call ended - Call dropped" is the result of bad internet on my or his part. "Call Ended" on its own could mean one of two things, among others:
1. A person accidentally touches the red end call button; or
2. Skype crashes unexpectedly (either because of internet as you said or other issues such as flat battery)
This is just from my personal experience, but I do hope it clears some stuff up for you.

    What does unreadable file and unrecognizable format mean in my iphoto 11?

    A number of people have reported issues with some models of Kodak cameras and iPhoto. Reformatting the card with the camera usually solves the issue. Make sure you have the photos off the card first (Image Capture - in your Applications Folder - may help with that) as reformatting will erase the card.

    Yes it is a check to see if you have Google Toolbar (a nasty piece of software - I never use it myself).

    They will always have the latest Flash Player builds and NO bundled software. Whenever you see an "update" notice, download the installer from the link(s) and run it (them) offline to update. MUCH safer and hassle free.

  • What does "coarse-grained" and "fine-grained" mean?

    I've seen these terms used in almost every pattern article, but I've never seen them defined. Can someone provide me the definitions for coarse- and fine-grained? Also, what are the pros and cons of each.

    it's an anology to sand or other particles. You can have sand that is very fine: small grains or you can have sand that is very coarse: large grains.
    A fine-grained approach is one uses lots of little Objects and a coarse-grained approach uses a smaller number of larger Objects. The reasoning for using a coarse grained approach is that it limits the 'chattiness' of the application. That is you don't have lots of little messages going back and forth, each one with it's own overhead.
    In practice, I've fouind the coarse-grained approach to not be that great. Chattiness is not that big of a deal anymore and big Objects take longer to load. Your application basically does squat while it waits for the be ball of wax and then it's got to disassemble it. If you use lot's of small Objects, the app can start working on them as soon as it starts receiving them.
    This isn't to say this doesn't have it's place, it's just not for every application.

  • Remote procedure call failed and did not execute response after changing contents

    Hey Hey!
    I have reviewed the other posts related to this issue but have not found a solution.
    I have done myself quite a mischief and hope someone here can help me out!
    I'm running an old ACER laptop with Windows 7. This PC belonged to an old colleague and therefore all of the folders and user names were still under his name, so I decided to try to change them all to my name. The main issue was the USER folder which had
    the locked symbol next to it but it wasn't locked at all. I googled how to delete this folder and one bright spark suggested I create a new folder with my name, copy all of the folders from the other 'locked' user's folder into my folder, and then delete the
    old user's folder. 
    That was fine. All seemed well. When I tried to delete the old folder the computer sat around thinking saying it was 'moving' but not doing anything. So, I cancelled the operation in the Task Manager. When I attempted to open any folder from the start menu
    or desktop or task bar I was presented with a bunch of numbers and letters and the message "REMOTE PROCEDURE CALL FAILED AND DID NOT EXECUTE."
    I quickly googled the message realising I'd made a major error and the first response was to type in services.msc or something to that effect, so I typed that into the Start Menu search bar and hit enter and nothing came up. So, I tried again, but now I
    couldn't type anything into the search bar, I could not even select any programs from the Start Menu. 
    So, I can't access the Start Menu, search bar, or any of the folders unless I open uTorrent, select open containing folder, and from there I can access what I need.
    I'm too afraid to reboot the PC. I can't locate my copy of Windows 7 anywhere. I'm freaking out!!
    Before I pour my lowly student wage into getting a professional to fix it, could someone please offer some suggestions??
    Greatly appreciated in advance. 
    Paris, Texas.

  • Call Failed, and No Answer

    A few attempts to video-call someone whose status icon showed as "available", the green figure with the white checkmark, had failed.  The message from the Skype program said, "call failed"; and the feeback message in the list said, "call to personsskypename, no answer".  Are these two possibly consistant?  The person is online, signed in to his Skype account, is available, is not using skype to communicate with anyone at that moment, but attempt to call him gives, "call failed" and "no answer".?

    Thank God I'm not the only one with this issue! It keeps saying call failed when I call two seperate accounts that are linked to the same person. I was worried maybe he was ignoring them or wifi problems, but my text messages get through on Skype (all but photos and files). I am at a loss as to what I should do because this is the only form of communication I have left of the person, since he chages his phone way too often and I don't ave the most recent number AND his Facebook account was deactivated a while ago because it was hacked. If someone finds a solution, could they please tell me ASAP?

  • Channel.Call.Failed NetConnection.Call.Failed: HTTP: Status 500 with amfphp php and mysql

    I have been scripting a simple database connection to check login credentials and am comming accross these errors:
    Channel.Call.Failed
    NetConnection.Call.Failed:
    HTTP: Status 500
    Any PHP code I run that is not connecting to MYSQL runs fine. But if I try to connect to the database thats what I get.
    Here is my mxml:
    <s:RemoteObject id="LogInService"
                                 source="Novus.NovusUser.getLogIn"
                                 destination="AMFPHP"
                                                                fault="faultHandler(event)"
                                 showBusyCursor="true">
                                  <s:method name="getLogIn" result="onResult(event)" fault="faultHandler(event)"/>
    </s:RemoteObject>
    Which calls this actionscript:
    private function btn(event:Event):void
                                                 switch(event.target.id)
                                                           case "LogInSubmit":
                                                                          LogInService.getLogIn(UserName.text, PW.text)
                  break;
                                  private function onResult(result:ResultEvent):void
                                                 Alert.show("Result " + result.token.result);
                                                 if(result.token.result == true)
                                                                currentState = "Main";
                                                 else
                                                           Alert.show(String(result.token.result));
                                  private function faultHandler(fault:FaultEvent):void
                                                 CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();
            var errorMessage:String = "code:\n" + fault.fault.faultCode + "\n\nMessage:\n" + fault.fault.faultString + "\n\nDetail:\n" + fault.fault.faultDetail;
                                                 Alert.show(errorMessage);
    and calls this PHP:
    If I comment out the database connection it returns a false value to me just fine but with it there it throws an error
    <?php
    class GetLogIn
                   private $_db;
                   public function getLogIn($U, $P)
                             //Connect To Database
                             $hostname='127.0.0.1';
                             $username='root';
                             $password='*********';    //not realy ***** blocked it out
                             $dbname='mydatabase';
                             try
                                            mysql_connect($hostname,$username, $password) OR DIE ('Unable to connect to database! Please try again later.');
                                            mysql_select_db($dbname);
                                            $sql = "Select * FROM empusr WHERE UserName = '$U' and Password = '$P'";
                                            mysql_close();
                                            if ($sql)
                                                           return true;
                                            else
                                                           return false;
                             catch
                                            return 'Unable to connect to database! Please try again later.';
    ?>
    I have a crossdomain.xml but I am unsure if I have it placed right.
    I also have a services.conf but am unsure if that also needs to be altered to adjust for MySQL.
    Any help would be appreciated. 

    Found the problum
    The connection string had to be placed in the public _constructor function of the class.
    <?php
    class EmployeeService
              public function __construct()
                        $hostname='127.0.0.1';
                        $username='root';
                        $password='*********';
                        $dbname='myDatabase';
                        mysql_connect($hostname,$username, $password);
                        mysql_select_db($dbname);
              public function logIn($N, $P)
                        $query = "SELECT * FROM EmpUsr WHERE UserName = '$N' AND Password = '$P'";
                        $result = mysql_query($query);
                          if ($result)
                                    return true;
                          else
                                    return false;

  • What does error -50303 and -50016 mean ?

    Does anyone know what does error -50016 and -50303 mean ? Can you tell me how to solve it ? I am using scxi 1161 for my application and i am getting these error codes.

    Hi Anku
    You can find explanations to error codes in labVIEW by going to the Help menu and selecting Explain Error and then inputing the error codey you get. You can also right-click in the error node in you program that presents this error and choose "Explain error". The two error codes you have posted have the following explanations:
    -50016:
    "NI Platform Services:  The specified window type is not valid or is inappropriate in the context of the current device configuration. The operation could not be completed as specified."
     -50303:  
    "NI Platform Services:  The specified device could not be initialized. The operation could not be completed as specified"
    Does both of these error occur in the same attempt to run or at different attemps to run the code? In which order are you getting these errors if they appear at the same time? The second error code indicates that you either don't have a connection to your instrument, that it's not configured correctly (such as the first error indicates) or that the instrument is not functioning as it should. The first error is a configuration error and could also be a result of the second error (i.e. no connection or broken instrument). So as both error codes you are getting could be a result of the other it is important to note which occurs first.
