@ Microsoft WPC "Soon you will see premium new Lumias designed for Windows 10″

This was something interesting that came out of Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference today, straight from the lips of Terry Myerson, the Executive VP of the Windows and Devices Group.
He also was quoted as saying "Last week we announced a focusing on our Lumia lineup..." Again, further proof that Microsoft is not abandoning Windows Phone or Windows 10 Mobile.

New skype download for windows

Hi,Everytime I open skype I am told that there is a new skype version available to download. I already have downloaded this version but to open skype, I must download it again. When I sign in I cannot skype anyone unless I redownload the same new version! I am at my wits end!

You don't need to download the same version over and over and again. All you need to do is uninstall the discontinued modern version so that you don't click on it instead of the desktop version. https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12228

New Skype chatt window looks horrible and make it a lot harder to use efficiantly.
I just restarted PC and got the new Skype version 6.22.0.107
To my big disappointment the new layout of the chatt conversations looks much worse that the previous version.
I use SKype everyday for work and this new layout makes it very hard to foolow long conversations.
Please add an option to get the previous version back.
If it works liek this our team has to swicth tools to something better.

My Skype has never crashed until this update. I would delete skype and reinstall it and then it would work again for the rest of the night, until the next time I loaded it up to use again. Now that isn't working anymore. I did the Event Viewer thing people have been telling others to do here, but I have no idea how to read what's wrong and how I can fix it.

I hate the new skype and i wish i culd go back to ...

My Skype got updated to the latest version(7.0) and I absolutely hate it.I use Skype everyday for at least 3 hours to talk to my friends and the new version is just awful and I cant keep using it. After about 6 hours on the new version I decided to downgrade to the prior version (6.2) winch I think was Skype best for now.It didn't work well (I couldn't read group messages unless I was managing the group and the chat was a little buggy) but I dint care because anything is better then the new 7 version.
Today for some reason it log me out of Skype and I couldn't log in into the old Skype so I had to update to the new Skype which made we very upset.
I do realise that the old Skype was old and the devs tries to make it look newer by following the win8 trend and that some people will like the new Skype and they are not as conservative as i am so i suggest the simple solution of giving people choice. Make the new version the default layout but make it possible to change it in the options so users which don't like the new UI can revert back to the good old one.

The new Skype is probably designed to match the Windows 10 style and feel over all three platforms it will be running on.
Skype versions below 6.16 (or 14 ) is retired, 6.2 is below so you cannot log in using that one.
This one however will:
http://download.skype.com/msi/SkypeSetup_6.21.0.104.msi

Everybody hates new Skype, why won't you revert?

So, this forum is full of people that think this version of Skype, sucks big dong. I'm not talking about certain people that don't like it, I'm talking about threads that if is about Skype sucking, only negative feedback is given. People hate your damned version of Skype, 70% of your users hate new Skype, 10% just takes whatever it's given and 20% doesn't know how to complain, yet. Don't you understand this Microsoft, people hate YOUR BIG PIECE OF y'know what. Nobody likes it and still your greatest answer is: - Manually go to [this] link.- Then download Skype- Have it complain about newer versions- Have pain uninstalling newer Skype- Have pain installing older version of Skype- Complain little less about Skype, because it's still Microsoft's and it still sucks.- Complain on forums about Skype and watch them dodge your feedback like it was pure lava. If there was a light bulb which shines once user complains about Skype, it would've changed into defusion reactor. So why not swap to that older Skype? What was so bad for it? You can't stand users not have Skype bound with Microsoft or what?!

You know, I am not a hater; but the new skype looks like it was designed by a call center in India. Total lack of intuaitive UI; it is so user unfreindly that EVERY time I use it I feel lost. The Android app requires you to scroll through your entire contract list to get to a contact. It does not have predictive dial contact search - a basic feature of even the most simplistic mobiles for over 10 years. Microsofts attempts to create a unified program model reliant on IE and it is rediculous. I am sure that the uninspired pinheads that designed this software call thier mothers every nigh and tell them all about the wonderful success they had in thier corporate positions; as "developers" in charge of snuffing out the usability and friendliness of what used to be a flagship of digital communication. While I am on the topic I really despise Microsoft for what it did to Windows ..with thier ridiculous Windows 8. Dont they understand that people who actually use computers to PRODUCE (rather than consume) content usually have multiple screens and minimal coherent user interface is the lifeblood of productivity. BUT NOOOO Microsoft "developers" (deveolutionists) make the UI buttons big enough to still allow an epileptic in a Grande Mal to use a computer. Why did you do that ??? You have blanketed the same functionality with a ridiculous UI that has to be "peeled back" anytime I want to do something useful. Once again I am sure the unispired corporate coffee drinkers call mom every night and tell her how they are changing the world.....

While in a Skype call in Windows 8, the volume of other sounds lowers

Hi everyone,
I am reposting an issue ride is experiencing when using Skype in Windows 8. Ride writes:
I am having a problem when using Skype as well. While taking a Skype call, sounds on other programs are lowered in volume. I have selected "do nothing" in the sound card communications settings section, but the problem still persists. Is there any way to fix this? I am using windows 8 with a Compaq CQ45 computer.
Hi ride,
I've noticed that the Skype app on the Windows 8 Start screen does not do all the things that the desktop version of Skype for Windows 8 does. I heartily recommend installing the desktop version of Skype, as well as the Start screen app, and logging in to both. That way you'll still get updates in your live tile on the Start screen, and you will still be able to get voice messages on your desktop version of Skype. It's the best of both worlds.
I managed to listen to an online radio station full blast while making a Skype call. Here's what I did:
First, I installed both the Skype app and the desktop version of Skype for Windows 8 (get the directions in the Installing and setting up Skype for Windows 8 and the Installing and setting up Skype for Windows desktop sections of the Using Skype to Make Voice and Video Internet Calls (Windows 8) document.)
Then, like you, I selected the Do nothing radio button on the Communications tab of Sound menu (press the Windows + W keys; type Sound into the search field; and then click Sound in the search results.) I then restarted my computer.
I made a Skype call using the desktop version, and then made a new Skype call from the Start menu app. That's when I started noticing that the volume of the radio station was not reduced. Also, when a friend sent an instant message, I heard the little ping sound full blast.
I'm not entirely sure why that all worked, but it did, and I hope it works for you, too. Will you reply to this post to let me know if it helps you?

Migrating to new Skype id + importing 1200+ contac...

Hello,
I am new here to the forums however a long time Skype user. I recently ran into an issue which at first I thought would have been a minor infraction (mainly from my misinterpretation of bulk contact requests) but now has snowballed into a big problem.
I recently decided to migrate from one Skype account and move over to another. Following the normal Skype contact backup and import process, I proceeded to move my contacts over to my new Skype. Once I was sure everything was ready to announce my transition, I then updated the profile on my old account whereas I had changed both my Skype display name and Skype mood with updated info to suggest my contacts to start adding my new account.
While still logged into my old Skype account, I then opened a second Skype instance to log into the new account. From there I was able to welcome contacts as they added my new Skype account (since the process is "instant" from the receiving end after importing - I didn't want to be rude and ignore anyone lol). There were about a dozen contacts that I had clicked the "Resend contact request" link per chat window as needed (to get my "regulars" added back quickly).
By now a few hours had passed and my numbers were slowly growing. I knew I had a ways to go considering having 1200+ contacts, I assumed it would take a while. I also sent out a tweet about it to let my followers know of the change. It was a little more than 3+ hours in on my new account that I had experienced the infamous automatic sign out. After confirming by attempting to login on Skype.com, performing the password reset, and starting the account recovery process, I knew at that time my account had been restricted. I then submitted the support form for ownership verification and later discussions started with a support agent. I had explained my situation (but in greater detail than what I've shared here in the forums) and even re-read the Terms of Use just to make sure that I hadn't overlooked anything and concluded that other than an influx of contact additions (as my interpretation of the process for importing contacts was that incoming requests weren't considered bulk as I wouldn't be sending requests but rather receiving them) that I hadn't violated the Tou policy. I was later given a generic response with that familiar "canned" message response.
The message lightly describes how Skype protects my privacy and security by restricting accounts as soon as they receive information of suspicious activity. In the message, it declared that suspicious activities had happened in accordance with my current usage of which is dependent in Skype's Terms of Use via "http://www.skype.com/en/legal/tou/" and that my account will be kept restricted.
I felt this lightly made decision to be unfair considering the events leading up to it's restriction. I was very truthful and sincere when I made my case but felt it had fallen on deaf ears. From here I then decided to not give up and tried the live support chat session as an alternative measure. I presented my view of events, describing everything I could remember and to my surprise, I was greeted with a lovely support agent that handled my appeal. About mid-way through the chat session, just after letting the agent know I had added the few regulars using the "resend contacts link" per chat window, the agent told me that I should only add 1 or 2 contacts a day. I was bothered by having to be limited by 1 or 2 a day but simply replied back that I would do just that. Nearing the end of the chat session, I was then instructed that the agent would handle my issue and email an update shortly thereafter. She was really pleasant to deal with.
The following email was the response I received...
Hello <NAME REMOVED>,
Thank you for contacting Skype Customer Service.
I understand that you were not able to use your account. I apologize to hear about the experience. Let me help you out the best way possible.
To inform, Skype has strict security measures that are programmed and systematized that sensitively detects any unusual, out-of-ordinary and suspicious activities on all accounts. Once there are activities detected which are not aligned with our Terms of Use, it automatically restricts the account for safety and security measures on our system and for the users itself.
After we verify the ownership, this is the time that will intensively review the account. We check the reason for its blocking, or what were the cause. We take considerations with orders, payments methods, calls, SMS, log-ins made, IP used, reports by other users, Node, device used, email address, webID's, Skype Manager, etc. Everything is actually recorded in our system.
After careful review and investigation, we follow certain protocol, process and procedure if account can be subjected to lift its restriction. However, in your case, it is regretful to advise that we will keep the accounts restriction as per security measures we have here on Skype.
We at Skype value the security of all accounts very highly and as such we are only able to reinstate the status if our process permits. Given the mentioned situation, we highly recommend for you to create a new account for you to enjoy Skype's services again.
You can also take time reading our Terms of Use to check what things can affect account suspension and to serve as a guide so that you won't get the same issue in the future again.
Hoping for your kind understanding.
Best regards,

I feel that I've reached a dead end with Skype support. I explained how I cannot create a new account as the name was directly tied into my online presence and simply changing to a different name on a new account was simply out of the question. Not to mention that if I had done so, we would most likely end up right back in the same predicament that landed me with having my account restricted. I had even asked about alternative methods for importing mass contacts to not trigger an automated system check that might deem it suspicious but was not given any recommendations (aside of just creating a new account). What I found curious about all of this happened to be how it was just the one account that had been restricted whilst my old account remained active and still signed into Skype.
I am unsure with how to proceed which is what brought me here in these forums. I've spent the past several hours reading related threads and posts while searching for an alternative method but I've since felt that I've exhausted further action to take.
My platform is Windows 7 64Bit w/SP1 and use both the latest 7.x build of Skype and on rare occasions, 6.21.0.104. I have no trouble logging info my old Skype account. If you need additional information, I will try my best to provide. Please accept my thanks in advance for any advice given, it will be appreciated.

Hi there,
I signed up for a skype account few days ago. I added $30 credit to the account. Yesterday when I wanted to use the service my account was blocked. When I login I get the message '' You are currently restricted from purchasing services or redeeming vouchers. Please contact Customer Support to review your account status.'' I used the customer service support and they sent me an email exactly like the one wwwroot posted it in this topic:

Myself I feel I reached a dead end. What will now happend with my credit ? It feels bad that I might loose the money I already added to the account. Also I believe I don't qualify for live support chat. I don't find a link to live support chat. I can not speak live with a person. I feel that they are not trying to solve my issue. I replied to this thread because I received an exact email from skype customer support.

Skype for Modern Windows and Skype for Windows Desktop on a tablet???

Hi All. I am a newby here so please be patient I have a 6 month old Toshiba Encore that comes installed with "Skype for Modern Windows". When I opened Skype today I received an advice/advert saying that this service will cease July 7 and I should uninstall and update to "Skype for Windows Desktop". News flash.... I have a tablet and it is telling me to install a Desktop version? Is this correct, dispite that my device is a (Windows 8.1) OS tablet, am I still required to make the conversion? Any advice most appreciated.

And just in case your next question is "Why". I am just a user like you so no inside knowledge but from what I have read it is partly down to the "Modern" version actually being based on "Old" tech, so it couldn't intergrate with the cloud based future of Skype and partly down to it isn't probably worth fixing (It had a lot of issues that I could see). Unfortunatly for some it is a bit inconvenient that it's being killed off before Windows 10 is released. The one thing I liked about the "Modern" version was the intergration with for example your contacts in the people app, but if you uninstall (Or when it gets killed off in a couple of weeks) you lose that intergration. I know you still have it in Outlook with intergration for the desktop version but to be honest Outlook isn't great on a seven inch tablet either. From my understanding when 10 is finally here and Skype catches up there will be full Skype intergration with your contacts again (Although I could be wrong and that is for the WP). Anyway, I for one would love MS to consider the universal app idea based on the WP version for smaller or all tablets. Maybe someone from Skype will reply?
