Always ´online´

Recently my skype contacts have noticed that i am always online eventhough i close my session after using Skype. I thought perhaps i left my session open after using on a different device so i changed my passwrod but the problem persists. Today a contact sent me an email asking why i didnt pick up as she was calling me all day despite the fact that i didnt log on all day! I have checked setting but cant seem to find the solution! Any help appreciated

I've checked different posts related to the same issue and see how your response is always the same. While the solution works well for some, it doesn't work for others and I would highly appreciate it if you took the efforts to look into those cases as well. I've done the steps you provided but am still facing the same issue. Would you please actually investigate this rather than copy-paste the same "solution" always???

Solution for SKYPE ALWAYS ONLINE

It's a bug like everything that is part of Microsoft.
The solution is: Unlink your Skype account and your Microsoft account
My problem came when I logged from Skype for Windows 8. I was asked do I want to link my accounts without knowing the consequences. After I saw that terrible thing called Skype for Windows 8 I searched the Net for desktop version. But what I found is that I appear always online. After chat with the Skype support I got nothing. So I found in Skype Community that unlinking the Skype and Microsoft accounts worked. I tried it and it worked for me too. Unless Microsoft fix that problem unlinking is the only way.
How do I unlink my Skype and Microsoft or Facebook accounts?

This is the right answer. The problem started happening yesterday when I linked the two accounts and now it is resolved after unlinking them again. Shame on you Microsoft!
For you guys who are not managing to get a result from this solution it probably is because you did not go to your config page (see above in the quoted message) to find out if your accounts were linked or not!

@architgrover, the way that it should work is when you run /remotelogout on your PC (or Mac, AFAIK), all other clients will be logged out of MS's cloud, which is what shows people as fake-online.
Are you sure that doing that and then running /showplaces still shows the Android client as live? It really shouldn't. Likewise, using the formal Logoff menu (lower left in the Skype Android client) should have the same effect. Simply turning off your phone or going into Airplane Mode does not, which is a major design flaw but something we'll have to continue to live with.

Application like skype or fring always online

Hy I bought a new iphone 3gs instead another nokia. I was thinking was better but with my disappoint i found that it's not possible to be always online in skype, fring or similar.

Correct - third party Apps cannot be on in the background. It can be always on - just leave it as the only thing running.
I can't believe apple didn't think about that.
They did and its clearly spelled out in the literature that it is not a multitasking device.

Nope - not at all. No multitasking. One application at a time only.

There is no problem, its just that you didnt read before buying. The iPhone does not multitask and thats all there is to say.

Macbook always online

Does any AT&T customer have a usb unit or..that allow your mac laptop to always be on line? Could you give me any info ? thanks joanlvh

AT&T are amongst other things an ISP. So get a dsl connection from them. Then you will use a dsl modem and router or an ADSL router (which has an integrated modem) to connect to the net.
Then you connect your mac via ethernet or airport to the router and you have an always online connection.
If your looking for a completely mobile solution to get on the net anywhere then get a usb hdspa modem. These modems are not always on you connect them as when required.

Nokia N8 goes always Online

Hi guys.
My nokia looks always for a data connection or a Wifi connection and connects without asking. It even connects to both at the same time and that thing kills my battery.
The only way I can avoid connecting to the data connection is selecting the Wifi only from connection settings. But it stills connects to Wifi without asking. I do not have any programs open and the widgets are on offline mode.
I already tried all the configurations possible I thinks it is malware or a virus I dont know
What can I do in order to solve this, ?
Regards,

I think I discoverd what the problem was.
I realized that the problem happend when I opened an App called Whatsapp.
When you close it I dont know why but it keeps telling the phone to stay connected jumping over the permits of the phone.
So every time I open the app my phone stays online forever the only way to shut it down is to turn off the phone and turn it on again
I contacted the whatsapp support, and they told me that the application is designed to do that and that they recommend me to get a unlimited data connection.
Weird answer, I wonder if there is a task manager app for the nokia N8 maybe that way I can shut it down.

C7 always online!!!

Hi
My Nokia C7 is always going online for no apparent reason, and it's draining the battery. Even if i go on connection manager and delete the connection, it just restarts a connection and once again gets back online.
Any help guys???

Yes, but people here are complaining about phones connecting to the internet without permission, even if all widgets are set to offline mode. Offline means no connections at all.

Voice your concerns over the recent "Always Online...

If you have more than 1 device on which you installed Skype, a recent "feature" will have you appear "online" 24/7/52/365 if you do not manually sign-off skype on all of your devices. Simply un-plug your devices, turn off your devices, shutdown your devices won't help. You will still appear "online" ghostly unless you manually sign-off and in some cases, "quit" Skype.
I called this "feature" many names. Please vote this thread up to demand a fix from Skype ASAP.
I personally gave Skype two weeks to get their %$!& in order.

Dear Readers,
May I suggest and recommend that this discussion be continued in this thread?

Why always online????

Hi guys ! I find out now that for month and month I appear online to other users; even when I am not and even when I quit Skype. Very confusing for my contacts. I ONLY use Skype on a desktop and have no mobil device where I could have signed in or where I have another Skype version installed. Can anyone help? Cheerio Stefan

Thank you for your suggestion. I have followed them and it works allright. I meanwhile wonder if the fact that I have a world wide subscription for phone cals (you can leave/receive voice messages) makes me appear online all the time? Any idea? Cheerio Stefan
