My mobile skype keeps turning itself on after forc...

Well,
What can I say? Yet another inconvenient feature that Skype has purposely added I think? No no Skype. No need to send over a representative to apologize for the inconvenience. I am fully aware that you are highly unappologetic about the horrible features that you force upon your customers.
Every time I have a legit complaint about Skype I think it's a mistake only to find out it's INTENTIONAL.
I basically had to uninstall skype from my phone because it keeps booting itself up after I blatantly turned it off. And as a result when a call crashes on my desktop or my laptop the call is redirected to my mobile and uses up an HUGE amount of data on my phone and after it cost me more money because it forced my data to roll over the limit on my plan the only option was clearly to remove it entirely.
Oh skype don't worry you also don't have to apologize for forcing people to update. Because clearly forcing people to do calls in high quality was the answer as people with old computers clearly don't need skype anyways right? My sister just switched to another messanger because you seem to think that with each update it's best to make skype a heavier and heavier CPU MAMMOTH. Yep effeciency is clearly not your goal. Not even giving people the option to lower the call quality to make it easier for older or slower computers isn't needed either! Nope! Also my Samsung Galaxy S3 couldn't even RUN skype without crashing not even just the instant messanger. That phone came out 2 years ago? You know I guess if you can't have the newest and best technology you obviously don't deserve to talk to your family in another country? Because you're not rolling in the doe right? It's obvious which demographics you're aiming for! You clearly don't want poor people using your software!
It seems like with each update you just make your technology more obnoxious.

Okay, let me see if I understand this correctly. You are pressing the sleep/wake button to put the phone to sleep, and instead it is powering off? When you tap on the home button, the phone will not wake up?
Are you just tapping the button or holding it down for a period? You can try a reset, hold the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot.

  • Installed ios6.1.3 to iPad 3 now it keeps turning itself off after a few seconds and is not recognised by itune

    Please help. My daughter has updated her iPad with iOS 6.1.3 and it now keeps crashing after a few seconds use..we have tried a rest and this doesn't help. Thx

    [Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off]
    1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    2. Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    3. Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    4. After at least 15 minutes, if:
          -The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
          -The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
          -Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    5. If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
          -If the display turns on, go to step 4.
          -If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.

  • After the new update, why does my Bluetooth keep turning itself on? I keep turning it off, but it still finds a way to turn itself back on

    After the new update, why does my Bluetooth keep turning itself on? I keep turning it off, but it still finds a way to turn itself back on

    hi Apfelwurm,
    why do you say it's not normal.
    it always switches itself on after i update. it just did again, this time for 7.1.2.. i t also will switch on after a restore.
    i never use bluetooth and make sure it's not on for any other reason.
    it's been noticed by others too.

    Have yu tried the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Blackberry Pearl keeps turning itself on and off then searching for network...........

    Hi people, not sure if anybody can help however I have a Blackberry Pearl 9105 and for the past 2 weeks its keeps turning itself off and on and also keeps saying 'searching for network' at random times.  I therefore thought it may require a new battery so brought a new battery - was fine for 5 hrs and then started doing it again!
    Any ideas on what it could be please...............it is quite old now and am due an upgrade at the end of August which is so annoying.  Vodafone won't let me upgrade early either.  If no-one knows am going into a vodafone store on Saturday to see of they can test it!
    But I'm so lost without it - I have brought a cheap emergency mobile however I miss my blackberry!!
    Thanking you in advance!

    Hey zmblake,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    I would suggest to do a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320, please test before restoring any data to the device.
    If this resolves the issue do a selective restore of essential data (Address Book, Calendar, Task, Memos, BBM contacts etc.)

    http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB10339
    If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.
    Thank you

  • Hands Free Mode keeps turning itself on.  How do I stop it?

    I have repeatedly turned off hands on mode (Settings/Device), but it keeps turning itself back and the stupid voice wants me to say "Hi Galaxy" or asks if I'm having a nice day.  It may have been a nice day, but not after hearing that voice.  This seems to be associated with receiving a notification.
    How do I turn off this feature such that it only comes on when I want it to?
    John

        I'm sorry to hear about this issue that's occuring with your phone jstevens8352. Have you tried adjusting the notifications on your device? I have listed them below:
      • From the home screen, select Apps (located in the lower-right).
      • From the Apps tab, select Settings.
      • From the My device tab, select Sound.   • Select Notifications.    • Select a notification then select OK.
    Do you have any apps that may be tied into this setting? If so, please temporarily remove. I would also recommend safe mode? Put the phone into safe mode and test the device, then disable the setting. Here is a link to the steps http://vz.to/1hCWfLm .

  • IPhone 4S ring volume keeps turning itself down

    The ring volume keeps turning itself down, I have been into the Settings and turned OFF the "Change with buttons"
    and set the volume as high as it will go but after leaving the phone for an hour or so the volume is wound back to
    minimum again. Siri is turned off.

    Try this... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • IdeaPad U430 touch turns itself on after shut down

    Hello,
    My laptop keeps turning itself on.  If it is NOT plugged in, it reboots itself immediately after shutting down (10 seconds).  If I leave it plugged in, it reboots itself overnight, or if I unplug the charger (while it is turned off).
    It is not related to any wake timers (disabled), I even completely reset my computer and wiped all my files - no luck, still occurs.  I tried downloading a new BIOS but it failed to install.  I tried updating other drivers, but most of mine are newer than what is available for download on the support site.
    I ran a system scan and there were no corrupt files, no viruses or malware detected (McAfee, Windows Safety Scanner, and Webroot).
    I think this is a firmware issue.  I disabled AOAC, and still had the issue.  Could it be a hardware issue?  My PlLenovo is about 7 months old.
    Please help!  I'm out of troubleshooting ideas.

    Try resetting the system management controller.
    Many of us rarely shut the Mac off. We just put it to sleep. It is built to run 24/7

  • My iPod touch keeps turning itself off

    My iPod touch keeps turning itself off. My iPod is fully updated and charged. When i try and turn it on the apple symbol comes on but a bit later turns itself off again (even when on a charger) what should i do?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable                     
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipad2 keeps turning itself off and On

    my ipad2 keeps turning itself off and on. I can be playing a game or looking on the Internet and it will just turn off and restart all by itself. I pulled up and hooked it up to itunes on my computer but I'm not really sure what to do there either.  It's so annoying, especially when it's used daily, or all day, by me or my kids and it's constantly shutting off in the middle of things.

    DId the rebooting start recently after doing an iOS update or installing a game? 
    There could be several reasons for your iPad randomly shutting down & restarting. 
    Sometimes low memory (RAM) can cause the issue. 
    First, restart the iPad by holding down the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears then let go and wait until the iPad boots up normally.  This can help clear the cache & free up memory.
    If that doesn't work, try a general reset:
    Settings->General->Reset->Reset All Settings.  You will not lose any data but will have to log back into your Wifi networks.
    If the issue occurs while using a particular app, try uninstalling the app to see if it continues.
    As a last resort try restoring the iPad back to factory settings.  Be sure to backup your iPad first.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    Unfortunately, it may also be that your battery is starting to fail but try the above to see if the problem persists.

  • My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time for no reason every time I put it on silent or just get a Facebook message I have a broken sleep/power button anyone know how to fix this problem?

    My iPhone 3GS keeps turning itself off all the time the power/sleep button dosent work so it's quiet annoying having to plug it in all the time dose anyone have a fix for this?

    The "fix" is to get the phone repaired.  There's no magic solution for a broken phone.
    Bring your phone ant $149 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement, or find a 3rd party repair shop near you.

  • Mozilla firefox start page keeps logging itself on after I close all internet windows I come back and there it is. Why??? Make it stop.

    mozilla firefox start page keeps logging itself on after I close all internet windows I come back and there it is. Why??? Make it stop.

    I've got the exact same issue! I'm pretty sure it just started today too. It's so bizarre because we've all been using Firefox 26.0 for at least a month, right? How could the ''about:home'' page all of a sudden cause this issue?
    I've been able to replicate this issue on a virtual machine running Windows XP SP3, so clearly it has nothing to do with Windows 7.
