Kindle Fire - Skype won't sign in

Hi hope someone can help, I sideloaded Skype to my kindle fire and installed it, however, it just keeps saying 'signing in' and nothing else happens. I only want voice calls, so the video is immaterial. If some kind soul could give me some advice I would be very grateful.

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.
Next 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.

Kindle Fire skype sign-in

Purchased a Kindle Fire Hd and have free skype installed, but when I feel in the sign in part and it comes to the phone number it will not take my phone number. It keeps asking for country code. Help please. Amazon tells me it is a skype issue.

Skype on kindle fire is so frustrating! Why, Amazon, provide Skype when it does not work simply? Also, why should customers be forced into opening a Microsoft account? I regret buying kindle fire instead of a real tablet.

The new kindle fire had won't load skype contacts

Help I cannot get skype to load on my kindle fire had. I log in and it will only show manage my features and profile but will not show anywhere to add contacts or to make a video call. Please help thank you!

I was reading a few comments about not getting skype to work on kindle hd/fire, as i had the same problem, but no more, its all working great now, what i was doing wrong was going through the web, then tried to download skype that way and yes it wouldnt show contacts, but then i banged my head and decided to go to the app store, then typed skype and when it came up you just haveto do it press download, this is free, wait until its downloaded and your all done, so everytime you want to skype go through your apps each time, im not that good with laptops, kindles etc but iworked it out, good luck xx

Kindle fire skype freezes

Recently when I have skyped, after about 10 minutes my Kindle fire freezes. No controls work, and after about 2-3minutes, my Kindle fire shuts down. I have had this tablet for about 18 months - no problems until about 4 weeks ago when this freezing started. And today, Netflix, BBC iPlayer and Amazon Instant Video have stopped working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This would be Hardware/Device Issue. If device reset fixes the problem temporary, good to contact them as it affects more than Skype app.

App version of Skype won't sign in

For some reason the Skype app on my install of Windows 8.1 Enterprise will not sign me in. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling it a couple of times.
I've tried the steps outlined here: http://community.skype.com/t5/Modern-Windows-for-users-on/Oops-there-was-a-problem-Please-restart-Skype-or-try-again/m-p/1271790/highlight/true#M3388 I tried sfc /scannow still no luck.
Still can't get it to sign in for some reason. My login works just fine for the desktop app, but I like being able to snap the Skype app to the side of a monitor for chatting, but for the life of me I can't figure out why it won't sign in.
It just sits there attempting to sign in for roughly 3 minutes and then fails with Oops...There was a problem, please restart Skype or Try Again. Any further ideas on this?

Then why the heck do you still have it on the store like it works? And why just a generic "Something went wrong" error message than having it say "we can't sign you in because this version of Skype has been deprecated"? I wasted four and a half hours this morning troubleshooting this because nobdoy at Microsoft stopped and thought to have the common courtesty to maybe have an actually informative error message about the failed sign in and remove the non-working application from the Microsoft Store.
Jeez, and here I was thinking Microsoft was a professional company that cared about end user experience. Nope, they just leave you with a cryptic error message making you think it's something wrong on your side rather than the truth...
Also, thank you so much for removing wonderful features that worked without any problems whatsoever before. I don't know what I would have done had I been able to keep using Skype conveniently...
And that isn't even to mention how it breaks the People app too. It has your Skype contacts in there, but now since Skype doesn't work when you go in there and tell it to IM or call someone it just goes "durr, I don't know what to do."
If you're going to change a workflow like that, at least tell the other places that rely on the Moden Skype app to gracefully redirect to the new worflow.

What version of Windows are you on (XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8 )? Is it 32-bit or 64-bit?

Skype won't sign in.

When ever I try to sign in with my account with skype, it sticks at the moving circle, then it says Skype can't connect.
I've tried
>Re-Installing.
>Resetting Internet Explorer & Updating.
>Installing a old version of Skype.
>Disabling fire-wall.
>Restarting my PC.
>Disabling skype compatibility mode.
>Updating Skype.
>Verfing my Pass/Username.
>Port-Fowarding.
I can sign in using my phone, but not with my PC, Can anyone please assist me?

Same here. I have to kill the process in order to stop it.
Once I've killed the process, if I reinstall, it logs in. So now, every time I want to start the program (whether by reboot or by exiting and then opening again), I have to kill the process and reinstall with the latest version in order to login.

Skype won't sign in, leaves infinite loading scree...

About an hour or so ago, I had logged off skype and went to go do something. After coming back and attempting to sign in, I can no longer sign in and I just get a spinning circle that won't do anything saying "signing in". I have checked my Firewall settings and Anti-Virus settings (I dont use Norton or McAfee, they are bad honestly). Ive even deleted Skype out of Roaming files, reinstalled twice, and nothing works.

I have the same problem, help anyone?

Skype won't sign in on Windows 8.1

So every time I try to sign in to Skype on Windows 8.1 using the desktop version or the app version, it freezes on Signing In. I've tried compatibility mode, and it works fine on my phone, but I can't get it working on my computer. I upgraded to 8.1 from 8, by the way. And Skype launches in literally two seconds on my phone. I would really appreciate help with this.

By the way, I mean it freezes on the blue "Signing in" screen and the animation just goes on forever.

Something is wrong with Skype on my Kindle Fire HD...

I have a Kindle Fire HD 8.9 Tablet that has the Skype app on it that I downloaded from the Amazon App Store. And I noticed that the screen has being flipping upside down on it before I sign in and even after it shows my contacts screen. It also does this, whenever I make a video call to someone on Skype. I find it really annoying when it does this. Did anyone run into a similar problem like the one I am having. If so, do you have any suggestions for me on how I can fix this problem?

Me too. It deleted my contacts and now they are saying the contacts do not exist. I think they need to make Skype much easier if they want us to use it. Good luck with your problem. Wish I could help you!

How am i getting skype for free on my kindle fire

I have Skype with my Kindle Fire HD I am not being charged it's always been free but since I got my laptop they want to charge me for skype I also asked my Fiancee if he had skype for free on his laptop he does so why am i getting the message to put money on a Skype card?

Currently you can't selectively delete chat history on Skype for Kindle Fire HD. Only way to get rid of the complete history (together with all settings) is uninstalling and reinstalling the Skype app, I'm afraid.
