Why can't I Skype with a kindle fire HD?

I would love to Skype with my family in another state but I am UN able to I am new to a kindle fire HD please help

Did all that and more. Reset to factory defaults on the advise of their techs. Stripped all other apps and Skype worked fine for two weeks. As soon as I installed Mapquest, Skype started crashing again. Removed Mapquest, still crashes. The problem is that the longer Skype is installed on a kindle, the more problems show up. I have been dealing with Amazon on this for two months and their only solution is to replace the unit, a move I don't believe will solve the problem. This is an OS and software conflict problem I believe. If anyone has had a Kindle Fire HD work for months without Skype problems, I would love to hear it, because as of yet I have not seen a single report of that being the case.

No audio on Skype on my Kindle Fire HD 8.9"

When participating in a Skype video call, I am not receiving any audio on my KFHD. My audio works fine in all other programs. Actually, I can just verily hear the audio... kind of like having your sound come through your headphones without putting your headphones on (or in) your ears.
I had Amazon Tech Support troubleshoot the problem with me and they were dumbfounded, just am I! So, they referred me to the Skype website for assistance.
Any suggestions? Thanks!!

Same problem with original Kindle Fire. Worked great, then update - now no incoming audio. Actually there may be audio as I get feedback when next to the called device. Guess only dogs can hear my Skype on Kindle now! Very, Very disappointed.
I called Amazon Customer Service and after an hour of trying to restore an older version of Skype, they told me the only thing left to do was a Kindle Factory Reset, which would make it like it came from the factory. Any data or anything I had downloaded would be GONE, so I would have to back up all pictures,emails, contacts, etc first. All my Apps would have to be re-downloaded. They could not guarantee that this would even fix the problem. I decided it was too drastic a measure. Its abummer because my Kindle has 4G LTE and I have an unlimited Skype U.S and Canada calling subscription. I use Skype instead of having an expensive cell phone contract or a land line.

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!

New Skype update

Just been forced to update Skype when I opened it. Put simply... looks terrible, looks like made for a phone and not a desktop. Everything is big, the contact window is half the size with bigger images/text. Chat windows has bigger text, lots of white spaces between messages and top half of window is wasted space that could have been smaller. There's also still the same annoying feature where when you click on someone to start a chat, their name stays highlighted and the only way to make it go away is to go to recents, click on an offline buddy, then go back to contacts.... way too much just to remove the name highlight which looks bad and could just be done with a click on a blank space (like many other programs do).
Overall I really don't like this update and want to know how to go back to the previous version.

I believe your computer selectively downloaded the new GUI release of Skype, the standard version of Skype can be downloaded here:
Skype 6.20.0.104 standard desktop
http://download.skype.com/3c96eaf2d0d77a29ff363d4357841955/SkypeSetupFull.exe
If you still don't like the appearance of that version, the lowest functioning version you can downgrade to is 6.14.

Unable to sign in to new Skype update

Have been using Skype successfully on my iPad until I upgraded to the new version. I can no longer sign in - it just keeps loading with no error report.
I have contacted Skype support and followed procedures to correct the problem but without success. They have told me to contact Apple support. That has been difficult. Need help

Hi,
Thanks for pointing out the security issue and how imortant it is. I switched the incoming security setting to SSL, which is contrary to the instructions of my local provider and - much to my surprise - it works!
Regarding the settings IMAP/POP etc. I guess I have the same problem as most of the users, who are not IT professionals: at first we struggle hard to make our gadgets work as expected. This is of little help to us when we shuld repeat it (reinstall, upgrade, etc.) - because we duly forget most of the procedured detailes.
In this case I do not know how to force my mobile to work by IMAP with the local provider. Contrary to gmail, where it is on me to enable IMAP, they claim taht they are opened to both, IMAP and POP3. However, my latest experience shows that only the setting for POP3 (except for security, as discovered a few minutes ago) works correctly.
To conclude: I'm happy I can continue to make the use of email on my C6-01. I hope it would last until I'll have to buy a new mobile and only then learn once again, how to set it to work.
Kind regards,
Tone

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.

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 HDX - Skype video calling, video is de...

When I use Skype on my Kindle Fire HDX 7" I get really good calls when it comes to audio calls. When it comes to video calling though, the sound is excllent as well as the video quality, but the video is 3-4 seconds delayed in contrast to the sound received. This happens only on my end. The other person can see me and listen to me well and in synch. I tried calling amazon throught their video help. The video looked fine and I had no issues with that. So I guess it has something to do with Skype as an application.

Wait for a fix from Apple or Skype.
Best.

I just purchased a Kindle Fire HD 8.9" and the first app I tried was Skype. The video quality was great and I heard the person on the other line fine, but they couldn't hear me at all. I've been on tech support with Amazon and they did everything they could to assist me (such as resetting my kindle, uninstalling and reinstalling skype, ect.) but every time I try my mic out "Echo123" can't hear me. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I tell if it's skype or my kindle? Do I need to return my kindle and get a new one? I'd appriciate any feedback!
Mine worked and then just stopped, don't know how to enable the Mic now, it was great on Skype, but how now Brown cow?

Kindle Fire

When can we expect Skype on a Kindle fire. Since it is only a skinned Android, I imagine it must be e fairly straightforward customization of the Android version. It is the fastest selling tablet in the markets where it is available, so hopefully you will address this issue with the appropriate priority.
Thanks

The problem is that the Kindle Fire doesn't have a microphone. It may also not have input audio processing abilities. Here is one guy who thought he'd just use an external microphone, but it didn't work:

BUT... the Barnes&Noble Nook Tablet DOES have a microphone.
