Next Android Skype Update

I can't help but notice how out-of-date the Android version of Skype is compared to the iOS version of Skype.
I would really love to know when Android users can expect an update to 5.5 (?) as well. There are just really minor things that I would like to see added, such as:
Animated Emoticons
Typing Notifications (XXX is typing...)
It sucks trying to Skype with somebody that is on iOS because they can see when I am typing, but I cannot see when they're typing, so I end up interrupting them constantly. I've seen a few topics on this already with no offical responses.
EDIT: Also, use of the new image sharing functionality would be great too. I can't stand opening up a browser on my phone and logging in every time I want to see a picture.
Thanks!

Yeah. I've pretty much abandoned Skype. It's as if they sold to Apple at this point, they're so obsessed with iOS. I have people who haven't even had the app installed on any of their devices for months showing up as Online. Image and File a sharing is still beyond terrible. How can an IM service/app not support standard Emoji? No chat bubbles (they seem clueless about usability and ergonomics). Still broken Group Chat. Lower Video quality than most other apps I've tried. Crackling voice call quality.
All this, and they want us to pay for stuff that Google gives away for free (Phone Number, Calls to USA and Canada, SMS/MMS, etc.).
Well, I know what I'm advocating my friends use these days.

Skype "updates" every time I open it

Hi.
Every time I open Skype for the first time that day, it says there's an update and gives me the option to update when Skype is closed or skip that update. I usually choose the former, but the next time I open Skype it asks me again (unless it's on the same day). My current version is 6.19 (442). The version doesn't change when Skype "updates".
What can I do to get rid of the notifications?
Thanks in advance.

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool. Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post. Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

Skype update gave me a virus

Hello, a Skype update was available and i put it off for a few days, prolly like 2 or 3, and then finally installed it. A few hours later my Norton antivirus popped up saying an intrusion was blocked, few hours later, again. I checked what programs had been installed/updated that day and it was only skype. I figured it couldn't of been skype and whatever this virus was it just wasn't on the list. Next day another notifications of an attempt blocked this time i view more details and see this:
Network traffic from cdn.adnxs.com/p/1a/23/ea/b7/1a23eab730c35898c104265d6c326f1c.swf matches the signature of a known attack. The attack was resulted from \DEVICE\HARDDISKVOLUME3\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\SKYPE\PHONE\SKYPE.EXE.
this clearly saying its from skype.exe aswell as skype being the only thing installed that day tells me that update was a virus. Why is this happening? I've been using skype for years and never had problems.

Most probably false positive.
You need to allow Skype.exe to your norton's firewall settings.

Is it possible for the next IOS 6 update for the music album art to display on the homescreen as a backround image when music is playing?

Is it possible for the next IOS 6 update for the music album art to display on the homescreen as a backround image when music is playing?

It does, under certain circumstances. If you are playing music and lock the phone or it locks on its own, when you wake it up, the album art will show. It also shows as the background if you are in the music app. If this is not exactly what you are looking for, you can submit feedback to Apple about this feature at www.apple.com/feedback.

How to stop annoying Skype update requests???

I do not have time to read what new Skype update is about, and I do not want to risk my privacy by installing frequent Skype updates without knowing what this updates changes.
But - Skype annoyingly insists on updates, showing update reminders every day!!! It is annoying. And no "Skip updates" button.
How to switch off those annoying update requests?

uninstall the current Skype with Revo (delete all registry entries found)

Is there any way to turn off the Skype update mess...

Hello, I am using the Skype 6.21 version on Windows 7, for now I do not want to update to the newer version (mostly due to not liking the interface).
My problem is every time I turn on Skype, the updater message pops up (sometimes several times, once on startup, once on login etc). I've been reading up on some solutions here however none have worked for me : / Anyone know how to get rid of this annoying message?
Here is what I've tried so far:
Disabling auto-updates in the program itself
Disabling Skype Updater in the Services
Putting skype.com and msn.com as blocked sites in the Firewall (all that this did was disable the home page feed o.O something I did not want)
Deleting the installer file from temp files

Zhuinden created a thread on how to downgrade, make it stick, and turn off the update messages. You can find it here:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Windows-desktop-client/How-to-Update-or-revert-from-6-22-to-other-vers...
Of course, this should have been an option provided in the first place, but at least we have a workaround for now.

Satellite R630-14J - after Skype update web cam has disappeared

Update to Skype 6.6. the Webcam disappeared. not visible in device Manager. multiple Downloads of web cam Drivers don't execute. checked bios. Rebooted machine multiple times.
What to do to install web cam Software again?

Hi
To be honest I cannot understand why webcam device disappears from device manager list after skype update.
I mean even if there would be a software problem (compatibility issues), the webcam should be listed in device manager even as an unknown device.
However, by default, certain devices are not shown in the list. To include hidden devices in Device Manager display, click View and select Show Hidden Devices.
However, I assume you are using Win 7 system.
> multiple downloads of webcam drivers don't execute
On Toshiba EU driver page you can find the webcam software.
Maybe new Skype version damage something in registry. Would recommend uninstalling the Skype firstly. Download and install the repair tool like CCleaner. Clean registry and reboot the notebook. Now try to install the webcam software once again. Reboot the unit and check if you can use the webcam using installed webcam too.

Skype update available in Windows Store

There is a Skype update available in Windows Store now. I have decided to not update it yet, I have automatic updates disabled. I suspect this update contains the "July 7 time bomb" so I will wait for reviews first. I have also made backup of WindowsApps folder where current Skype version 3.1.0.1007 resides.
It is sad we have to "fight" with Microsoft to try to keep the Skype application work

Same here. I wonder if Windows RT users have received the update.

Mouse buttons no longer work for iTunes playback (play/pause, next, previous) after update! Help please!

When you say "mouse button", do you mean clicking on the controls in the upper left of the iTunes window or do you mean that you have special media keys on your mouse?

How to turn off the skype update notifications?

Anybody knows hot to stop the annoying skype update notifications?
There is no way I will do any upgrades, since skype has burned me in the past, so it would be nice to find out how to stop those...
Thanks

The Updater service does checks (and automatic updates) in the background. Disabling automatic updates in Tools -> Options stops this service, but does not disable it. You can disable the service via Start -> Run -> services.msc and finding the Skype Updater service.
You may also notice that everytime you start Skype there still remains a pop-up dialog box prompting you to install an update. This is because Skype had already downloaded a new version in the background and was waiting for you to install. This happened before you disabled the automatic updates and disabled the service.
To resolve go to Start -> Run -> c:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Temp and look for SkypeSetup.exe. Delete this file. Exit Skype and re-launch it to verify this fixed the upgrade notifications.
I am still using Skype 6.9 due to the recent addition of ads. This process helps make sure I don't get upgraded unintentionally.
