Group Skype on Samsung Smart TV's. Does it work?

I have a 65" Samsun Smart TV with a Logitek HD Skype TV Camera. The TV has a app for skype but I cant see how you do Group calling thru my Smart TV. Is it available on the Samsung Apps?
If not, when will it be available? I can do Group Skype thru my Laptop and use a HDMI cable to run it thru my SMART TV but its just a hassel to hook up everything.

Like I stated it's probably an issue with dedicated processing power more than firmware since group video calls require machines that can host them. If the current hardware is unable to host a multiparty call it won't ever happen. Smart TVs generally use ARM processors so even if it is of a high frequency it doesn't have the same footing as a standard X86/64 processor. It would be impossible to speculate since Skype doesn't put out any roadmaps. Anything that is going to come out soon tends to be broadcast in press/web style communication. If a feature like group video calling isn't offered or promoted with the product, I have doubts an upgrade of that magnitude, if possible, would be made.

Group Skype with Samsung Smart TV

Is there any way to do group Skype or even purchase premium Skype through Samsung Smart TV?

Our family recently "upgraded" from a VIZIO XVT373SV to a Samsung UN40H6400 "Smart TV." We also purchased the Samsung VG-STC4000 Skype TV Camera.
As noted in the previous post (but no where in Samsung Support), Skype apparently only works through the Samsung TV speakers.
This means that my hearing impaired, 94 year old father can no longer use his Audio-Out-Connected headphones to communicate with his grandchildren at college. Skype is now unusable and useless for him.
There is, of course, no "echo issue" with headphones. Please ask your team to contact Samsung and enable at minimum the 3.5mm Audio Out with Skype.
Thank you in advance for prompt resolution so my father can reconnect with his grandchildren.

How does it "not work"?
What OS version are you using?

Download current version of Skype to Samsung Smart...

My Samsung Smart TV has Version 2.0. My business associate says I needs 6.3.60.105 to be compatible. Is this true? I can't manually upgrade the TV software. What do I do?

This really does sound like a cache problem....so I suggest the following:
If you are using IE w/ default settings it will cache everything it can to "improve page performance".
In IE -> Tools -> General Tab -> Temorary Internet Files -> Settings....
Set the page to check every visit to the page
or
In IE -> Tools -> General Tab -> Temorary Internet Files -> Delete Files (check delete offline content) -> Click Ok
or
Install the MS IE WebDeveloper tool bar (search on Microsoft.com) and do Misc -> Clear Domain Cache.
If you are using FF try installing their web developer tool bar and doing Misc -> Clear Private Data -> Clear Cache.

Samsung Smart TV FiOS App not working

I have a new Samsung Smart TV with the Verizon FiOS app installed, and its not working. When i attempt to start the app, i get the error "unable to fetch data, please exit the application and relanch". Exiting and relanching the app does no good. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app 3 times, and it is stil not fixed I updated the TV's software, then uninstalled and reinstalled the app, and its still not working. I contacted Samsung customer service, and they could not get the app to work either. if anyone has any suggestions, please let me know. Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Need to try shutting off TV and starting again.
And you may be low on memory on your Samsung. Samsung doesn't make it easy to manage the memory other than by deleting some unused apps.

Smart notebook software does not work

I have installed Mavericks and now my Smart Notebook software does not load. What to do?

Does this actually work? I was unable to get it to install, but I'd be curious to know it someone's had better results, or figured out a workaround, short of rolling back Mavericks.
I finally received a reply from SMART customer support, and they confirmed that the current version of Notebook (11.3) is not supported for Mavericks.
They refered me to this FAQ:
http://knowledgebase.force.com/articles/FAQ/Support-for-Mac-OS-X-10-9-x-Maverick s
- which also rather unhelpfully says that the next release will fix it "later this fall".

Hp smart web printing does not work on firefox. HP says this is not their problem and to contact Mozilla. Is there a plug in available?

I just bought a new hp printer. the software has a feature called HP web smart printing. The feature works on explorer but not on Firefox. HP says this is not their problem and suggested I contact Mozilla. Is an add on available and if not will one be made available.
I am using v. 3.6.13. and the printer is HP Officejet 4500.

HP smart web printing is an application that only works with IE. In spite of what HP have told you, if they want their application to work with Firefox they will need to make a version for Firefox. It is not down to Mozilla to make a version of the HP software for Firefox.

Samsung smart tv outgoing sound not working

Logged into Skype, made a call and could hear the other party but the person at the other end could not hear me. it was not a videall all as I have not purchased the webcam. Can someone tell me how can I make it work?

The microphone is built into the special Samsung TV camera so you will not be able to send audio without the TV camera.

Group MMS- what is it and how does it work?

I'm rarely one to ask questions about the iphone but I got my iphone 4G and today realized there was a setting that says group mms. I turned it on. I sent a text message to two people, expecting their replies to appear in the same window but they came as seperate relies. Was I wrong in assuming group mms meant replies from multiples would appear in the same window as the sent message? Please explain what Group MMS is and how it works. Thanks!

Glad to help. One thing to add...
First, in my example, I missed something...when Person B asked if someone could purchase his ticket, obviously he doesn't get his own text back to himself. I was rush typing that response, so just typed A through E, and didn't think of that, haha.
Funny enough, this is the exact situation that made me realize what the group messaging was. I was beta testing the 4.0 Golden Master, and turned that feature on, thinking that I could go to my contacts and multiselect contacts, instead of adding them one by one from the messaging app. When my friends and I made plans for a movie, I had forgotten to turn this feature off, and everyone was having a grand old time chatting with each other, via this feature on my phone.
After realizing what was going on, and some more testing to confirm accurate results, I found a slight use to this feature. Kind of cool, but can be a pain that you can turn it on "on the fly", and have to dig through the menus to enable it. Would also be much better to assign the feature to specific text threads, instead of having it apply to all group texts. I usually have a group thread going to inform my friends of free apps, and occasionally group message when coordinating. Don't need it enabled for the free apps thread, but no way to keep it on for one, but off for the other. Oh well...
Oh, and if anyone was wondering, I was Person A and Person E, haha.
EDIT: Second fail in my post was that you have to have the feature enabled BEFORE you send your group text out. Oh well, this stuff happens when the coffee shop person is on my neck, telling me that I cannot have anymore donuts, and that I must leave the vicinity. ;-D

Re: applock and smart app lock does not work on 5.1.1

Hi @omdavice @wantboost When turn on the sony only the red led light flashed multiple times. This could be because battery was fully drained or there
was a problem with the boot. If you press the 3 buttons Power, Volume down and Volume up for about 8 seconds and then release them, the sony logo would appear. If this doesn´t work, you can also first run a backup of the device information like this: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/FAQ/Backup-amp-Transfer/m-p/407253#U407253 Then try performing a system repair using PC Companion: http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/ This will factory reset your phone and erase all data. You might need tocharge your device for about 1-2 hours before so the device has at least 80% battery. Make sure the device is not connected to computer or laptop and turned off (sometimes you have to press power button and volume up until the device vibrates 3 times or on some devices you have to press the small button near the SIM tray or on the back of the device). Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the on screen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process. If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP. I hope can be useful.
Best Regards,

My Xperia ZL have an strange battery behaviour. It started with a crazy battery indicator, for example, sometimes it is showing 75% of battery, then I start to use some app, and the battery drains to 50%, but right after I close de app, the battery shows 63%. So I've never been able to know how my battery is going for sure. Sometimes it is showing 35%, then I just use some app for a few minutes, the battery goes to 15% and suddenly the phone turns off. But when I reboot it, it is showing 30% again.
To charge the phone's battery, I must have luck, because it looks like the phone choose when it would like to charge the battery. The problem turns worst when the battery drains totally. The battery simply doesn't charge, the phone turns on and off constantly. When I plug the battery charger, the LED indicator glows a weak red light, then the "SONY XPERIA" appears, and then the phone turns off, the cycle repeats if I let the battery charger plugged in, back to the weak red light.
Does anyone here had the same problem with Xperia ZL? Does a simple battery change might resolve this issue?
Thank you!

I have an ipod nano, and an HP laptop. I've purchased music from the itunes store, as well as down loaded most of my cd's to the library. My question is: how do I get all this music into my Samsung smart phone?

I've spent the last 6 months purchasing from the istore and downloading CD's to my library, in preparation for a 6000km cruiser trip on my motorcycle this summer. Only to find out that I cannot download from itunes to my Samsung smart phone. Does anyone know why, or does anyone know how? I called Mac tech support and they told me it cannot be done, I have to purchase an iphone. Please help, I've got 2000 songs for the trip and a bluetooth headset in my helmet. I own an ipod nano full of the same songs, but of course Mac made it so you cannot blue tooth a nano, so I have to use my phone.
Thanks ahead of time!
PS Keep your instructions rather simple though please, I'm 60 yrs old!

iTunes and Apple's devices work as an ecosystem. iTunes is designed to sync with Apple's products, not anyone else's. You'll need your songs in a format compatable with the Samsung phone and to use the software transfer program supplied/recommended. It is essentially not an Apple/iTunes problem. You may have better luck finding the information you need on Samsung's forums.

No sound on incoming Skype calls on Samsung Smart TV (UE55D8000)

I bought a camera (CY-STC1100) for my Samsung Smart TV (UE55D8000) to Skype. I can video call but I cannot hear the incoming call on my TV speakers. Is there a setting I am missing to increase the volume .

Skype is designed on purpose to make use of the TV speakers and not to output any audio to external speaker systems. The reason for this is to ensure that the audio being picked up from the TV's microphone during a Skype call isn't affected the audio coming out of your TV speakers from the person at the far end of the call. If audio were allowed to be sent to external speakers (the type, placement, volume of which will vary in each living room) then it would be impossible to effectively cancel out the echo on the call and you would get terrible howling.
However, when you make a Skype call the audio should be automatically routed to your TV speakers without you having to manually switch to them.
Let me check with Samsung to make sure this is the case...

I have a Samsung Smart TV. Skype was working. No...

I have a Samsung Smart TV. I have been using Skype for about 4 months with no problems. Then Skype was updated and it keeps saying Incorrect password. I called Samsung and they said that the Skype app was bad. Is this true and how do I get the corredted app?

Just wanted to chime in and say I've also been having problems ever since the last Skype update. I have a Samsung UN46ES8000 and we've had problems with it telling us we have an incorrect password and also problems making outgoing Skype to Skype calls once we finally do get logged in. Whenever we try to make an outgoing call the TV actually reboots itself completely. However, we can receive incoming calls just fine.

Apple TV no longer connects to Samsung Smart TV

My ATV (newest version) worked just fine for many months connected to my Samsung Smart TV. Recently, I updated the Samsung Smart TV software. The last update was 6 months back. Now ATV does not work. ATV has been connected to HDMI4 and worked just fine. Any suggestions? Many thanks.

First rule of troubleshooting ANY electronic device. Unplug it and plug it back in. Works 90% of the time on anything.
