Hi Guys
I am trying to login to skype on my new Nexus 5 with Android 4.4 Kitkat and login screen keep coming again and again , any one has any idea or facing the same ?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Same for me, right out the box flat doesn't work with either of my microsoft accounts.
Uninstalled and reinstalled same issue.
Must say the HTC one X I came from I had to wait forever for a update to let me login and I find it laughable that it is broken now on 4.4.
Does nobody test these things it is even preinstalled on the new Nexus 5

For Contacts and Calendars use SmoothSync (Play Store) you will need to buy both versions, one for Contacts and one for Calendars.
Please note that iCloud has nothing to do with Google so what yu want to do won't work. iCloud mail is a standard IMAP system, consult the instructions for your phone.

AnyConnect Android 4.4 (KitKat) Compatibility Update (CSCul28340)

Due to a bug in Android 4.4 (KitKat) reported to Google under Issue #61948, AnyConnect users will experience High Packet Loss over their VPN connection (users will experience timeouts when attempting to access certain network resources). In the ASA logs, a syslog message will appear with text similar to "Transmitting large packet 1420 (threshold 1405)."
This has been reported to Google under Issue #61948
Android 4.4 TCP advertises incorrect MSS over VPN (using VpnService)
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61948
End users may log in with their Google ID and flag the importance of the request as well as enter comments at the link above.
Conditions:
Android 4.4 (KitKat) including the Google Nexus 5
AnyConnect ICS+
Workaround:
Until Google produces a fix for Android 4.4, VPN administrators may temporarily reduce the maximum segment size for TCP connections on the ASA with the configuration command "sysopt connection tcpmss <mss size>". The default for this parameter is 1380 bytes. Reduce this value by the difference between the values seen in the ASA logs. In the above example, the difference is 15 bytes; the value should thus be no more than 1365. Reducing this value will negatively impact performance for connected VPN users where large packets are transmitted.

Critical issue with DNS resolution on KitKat (4.4.2).
AnyConnect Version 3.0.09242
on Nexus 4
running KitKat (4.4.2).
Firewall config has split-tunnel.
When connected, we CAN reach internal resources but when connected we CANNOT reach external resources.
Ran sniffer to find that DNS requests are having internal DNS search domain appended.
When executing on device:
     $ ping google.com
     ping: unknown host google.com
The sniffer shows:
a faulty DNS lookup for "google.com.example.com" which seems to be appending our search domains to all DNS lookups.
     11:53:45.892635 IP 192.168.124.101.62994 > 192.168.170.133.53: 43772+ A? google.com.example.com.
This problem DOES NOT happen when using KitKat (4.4.2) native IPSec VPN with the same firewall group policy and split-tunnel configuration.
This problem DOES NOT happen for 4.3 (Samsung Galaxy S3) using the same AnyConnect client.

How to install Android 4.4 KitKat on a ZTE Open

Don't get me wrong: THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH FIREFOX OS AND I HATE ANDROID. I simply want to know how to do this for future reference and to grow my knowledge of how these devices work.
I have a ZTE Open which runs FxOS 1.1
How to I install Android 4.4 onto my phone? I've looked it up a ton and I can't find a good way for my device. If you want to help me, great! If you happened to be "offended" by my request please don't feel like cho have to :P
You guys rock!

Hi Renard d'Allan,
I don't personally know how to do this, but it seems that some people have been able to do it on certain devices.
I found a video on Youtube of someone that was able to port Android 4.4 KitKat to the ZTE Open C:
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=axOYIfo7y2s]
Please keep in mind that this would be very experimental, and there is always the risk of bricking your device.
I hope this helps. Please let us know if you have any user-related issues in the future.
Thanks,

Android 4.4.2 and Skype 5.1.0.57240 - Unable to Si...

Hi there,
I have the following smartphone:
Producer: UTOK Romania
Phone Model: UTOK500Q HD
OS: Android 4.4.2 (the phone came initially with Android 4.2 but the producer offers for those phones an upgrade to Android 4.4.2 KitKat -which I did update)
Skype 5.1.0.57240
Vodafone Romania
No matter I am connected to Internet through my WiFi router or I am using Internet for mobile from Vodafone, Skype is Unable to Sign In. I have no issues using same user and password on Skype on my Android tablet, or on my computer. When I try to connect on my phone, I am always disconnected from computer or tablet.
Skype worked perfectly when on Android 4.2.
There are no other issues whith any other application using Internet. I have no errors from OS.
Please advise.
Kind regards,
Sebastian
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Nevermind. I found a solution on a Forum. I tried downloading Skype for Android on my computer. I was asked for my phone number and a link to download Skype was sent on my phone. I accessed it and Skype start installing (have no idea what was installed, anyway). I start Skype and it is working fine.
The most interesting thing is that I still have the same Skype version (5.1.0.57240) but it is localized in Romanian.
Best regards,
Sebastian

Video no longer plays with android 4.4 kitkat

I have a nexus 7 1st gen. Just updated android to 4.4 kitkat and videos no longer play. Tried youtube and facebook.

There is a bug report about Flash not working on Kit Kat. For reading as Bugzilla is not a discussion forum like here.

BT Home Hub 3 and Android 4.2.1 WI-FI issue

Hi, i'm seeing a really annoying issue on my nexus 4 running android 4.2.1. The wireless works perfectly when i am connected at home to the HH3. Everytime i leave the house and go out of the home hubs range, when i return, the BT HH3 shows as "Not in range" even when standing right next to it.
As soon i toggle Wi-Fi off then back on on the nexus 4 it connects instantly with a signal strength of excellent. The hh3 is set to channel 13 and looks to be not conflicting with another router on wifi analyser.
If anyone has seen anything similar on another android device when using a HH3 i would appreciate any feedback or potential fixes.

I have a HTC Desire with Android 2.1, and a home hub 1, and have no problems. Do you have another router you can try, or perhaps use as an extra wireless access point?
I do know that people seem to have problems with the HH3, for some reason, but I cannot see why it should be an issue with an Andriod device, as they normally remember wireless settings.
Channel 13 can cause issues with some devices.

Galaxy Nexus Performance Issue!

Hi we are currently working on an Air for Android App in AS3!
This app is running perfectly smooth on an Galaxy S2 with constant 60 fps!
Our new test device, a Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.0 has just arrived and the performance is very bad, unstable 40fps!
Now my question is: Is this normal? Is this a problem with our code or is this an known issue?

The app always slows down if I blit a bitmap. Even if the Bitmap is only 10 x 10 Pixels. So I don´t think it depends on the higher device resolution. If I only move bitmaps the performace is ok.
And the iPhone 4 resolution is nearly the same and it works fine.

Skype - Issue in "click-to-call" through Skype fun...

I would be most grateful to receive help with an issue I have encountered.
I´m developing a web application where I give the user an option to call a phone number through Skype with a click on a button directly from the web application. This works fine for browsers on desktop, iPad and Android devices. But when the user clicks on the call button in iOS browsers (testet with latest Safari and Chrome) then Skype is opened, but the phone number is not dialled or transferred into Skype. I would be most thankful to receive help with this. it will only open up Skype when the user clicks on the button. Do anyone have any idea to how I can solve this?

Am faceing the same problem and sent email to Skype Support and waiting for the responce for "unresponcive plug".....

Error while installing the Android 4.4 KitKat update - How do I fix it?

Hello, I'm having a problem in which my phone will not install the android 4.4 update on my droid mini successfully. My phone has downloaded it over Wi-Fi and 4G LTE but the installation itself never actually works.
After the first reboot during my installation, on my phone I see a picture of an android with a red exclamation sign that says Error. My phone reboots to the system and i see a notification box called "Software Update - Update Failed" and it's not working at all.
I'm downloading it for the third time now so this is really frustrating to me. Here is a picture of my System update information:

pacnet2014- It sounds like completing this update has been a hassle and that's not good. I have reviewed some information about your device and I see that others have had this issue. Have you tried completely master resetting the device? Try that and then try the software update again.

Adobe AIR for Android - GPU Mode - Bitmap Auto-Smoothing Issue

Hi everyone
I'm having a bit of an issue with the AS3 bitmap object. I'm currently developing an 8-bit style pixel game for AIR for Android.
This game is being developed at a very low resolution and is being scaled up to maintain the charm of an old retro game.
One of the methods I'm using is drawing pixels directly to bitmap objects and scaling the object up to create the old look.
When testing on a mobile device, this works beautifully when you set the rendering method to Direct but when you change
the render method to GPU the visuals go all blurry and anti-aliased (it's as if the bitmap is being smoothed out). The mini map
for example is rendered using the setPixel method and then scaled up 9 times. Looks great on my PC but once I export it to my phone
it looks absolutely awful! This is no good as I want to keep the clean, solid pixel look to maintain the the old 8-bit feel and obviously
I'd like to stick to GPU mode due to it's speed.
Like I said, this only happens once you test on a mobile device in GPU mode - it doesn't do it on my main desktop machine or
in Direct mode. I already have the stage quality set to low and I've tried setting the bitmap's smoothing property to false but
it does nothing.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get around this?

How about first blit your image to a small bitmapData, then draw it on a large bitmapData (9X larger)?
Like,
var small_bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(SMALL_WIDTH, SMALL_HEIGHT, false);
var large_bmd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(SMALL_WIDTH * 9, SMALL_HEIGHT * 9, false);
var bm:Bitmap = new Bitmap(large_bmd, PixelSnapping.NEVER, false);
var blitRect:Rectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 9, 9);
var i:uint, j:uint, blitColor:uint;
small_bmd.draw(SOURCE_IMAGE);
large_bmd.lock();
for(j = 0; j < SMALL_HEIGHT; j++){
     for(i = 0; i < SMALL_WIDTH; i++){
          blitColor = small_bmd.getPixel(i, j);
          blitRect.x = i * 9;
          blitRect.y = j * 9;
          large_bmd.fillRect(blitRect, blitColor);
large_bmd.unlock();
Not sure if the code works or not, but hopefully this helps.

URGENT Skype issue with hacking accounts

Hello,
I'm Dan, and just about an hour ago, I managed to recover my account after a 30 minute live chat. I run an online business and a lot of my work involves Skype. In other words, Skype is key to my business. All of my partners work through Skype, so without Skype, I'd be in a bit of trouble.
At 7am this morning, I checked my emails and found I had an email sent to my primary Skype email address stating that my "Registered email successfully changed". Immediately I knew what had happened.
I contacted Skype support (after having to buy a premium account for £6), they were very helpful but I was not happy about paying £6 due to an issue on Skype's behalf. After my live chat was closed I was told to be sure that I don't get phished or install any kind of virus which may discover my Skype password, I knew that these would not be benefitial due to the circumstance.
So how does it work?
Before I begin explaining, I am referring to the person who changed the email as a "hacker".
So, firstly, the hacker contacts Skype support, I don't know whether it was live or not but they had to contact support. The hacker claims they are me, stating that they forgot their password and you can't access your email either, so your primary email would have to be changed. Ofcourse, there is some verification. The person at the other end of the support chat will ask for some recent activity on your account.
In my case, the hacker had used multiple VPN's to add me, had added me on several accounts, this was completely oblivious to me, that they were all the hacker. I had accepted these accounts as the contact requests seemed like they were legitimate. So, all the hacker had to say was 1. I added "Micheal Potter" today. 2. I added "Randy Parker" today and so on.
They may have been asked to verify an address, this wasn't struggle for the hacker. For me, the hacker had to do a simple WHOIS lookup on my domain. The majority of people have their address openly available somewhere, I know for sure that my address is on many forums, websites etc. So just stating your address, is definetely not enough information.
Shortly after, my email address must have been changed and it is surprising that Skype have not done something about this common flaw in their security.
How can this be resolved?
Not allow the changing of emails on accounts - if you have an issue accessing your email. you should have your email provider deal with it.
Add further verification e.g. phone numbers, secondary emails that they must verfiy, proof of address sent over (you'd never see another company changing information without ID sent from that email address or further verification other than just confirming some account activity.
Atleast check the IP address the support request was sent from!
I hope you look into this problem and resolve it immediately.

I watched as this happened, and many other around the same time. There are guides being sold on how to exploit your support team and steal accounts. I no longer feel safe using skype, and I am really scared right now. I share a lot of very personal things on skype xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Shame on you,
