Partial Emergency Solution for skype chat on iPhone

install the Puffin Browser on your iPhone then try the web beta for Skype- works for conversations and IS IN SYNCH! No voice or video however. if you don't know about Puffin you are in for a treat- it supports websites needing FLASH by offloading functions to a big server. Peter in Arlington VA.

I am going to keep the skype web address in my iPhone Puffin bookmark for the next time the regular skype for iphone goes bonkers! it is a good emergency backup. No voice or video but I get messages just fine and reliably. I also tried the web beta on my chromebook and it is fantastic - have been waiting years for this and it was worth the wait. Thanks

The BEST solution for gmail on the iPhone

OK, so after much poking around, I finally figured out the best solution for using gmail on the iPhone: IMAP support.
While I think Google is still rolling this out to all users, once you get it, USE IT! It basically keeps your mail app synced with gmail, and even supports the use of folders/labels.
To see if your gmail account is ready for IMAP, go to the settings option in gmail and see if one of the tabs says "Forwarding and POP/IMAP." If you don't have IMAP available on your account yet, it won't say IMAP.
Here's some links to get you started:

how actions in your mail app sync to gmail:
https://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77657
I hope this helps out everyone as much as it's helped me. I was a little frustrated before using POP, but gotta love IMAP! I'm not too sure the impact that this has on your battery life, but so far it's working well for me. Enjoy!

Gmail and IMAP have totally change my tune about the iPhone's email abilities. I was getting frustrated with the inability to reliably get mail (Message has not been downloaded...), sync (have to delete mail from both iPhone and desktop Mac), etc., but now I have all my POP email accounts automatically forward to my Gmail account, and I only check Gmail with the iPhone and MacPro. So far, it's a whole new iPhone experience! No more errors - ALL mail comes through perfectly - and no need to manually sync!
Note that, when setting up the Gmail/IMAP accounts, do NOT simply update your old POP Gmail settings on your Mac or iPhone! Start with a FRESH new account. I couldn't get either the iPhone or Mac to work until I started with a fresh account.
Also, I was unable to send mail from the iPhone using the smtp.gmail address, so I had changed the outgoing mail setting to use my regular ISP's smtp address. But, at some point (a few minutes later or a few hours, I don't know) when I checked the Gmail settings on the iPhone, it had magically changed itself to smtp.gmail, with the port number, and it has been working perfectly ever since! Maybe IMAP can atomatically correct this info? Not sure.
One more thing. Once you have Gmail IMAP working, then you MUST go here:

Follow these directions exactly. This is a necessary set of steps in order to make your iPhone and Mac sync correctly, so that trashed mail on the iPhone will go in the trash on your desktop Mac, etc. It's pretty freaky to check email on the iPhone, and then go to your Mac Mail a few minutes later, and see all the newly trashed (or saved/read) emails perfectly synched up!
A final note. Once this is all working and synching, remember that if you delete an email on your iPhone, it gets deleted on the desktop Mac Mail as well (and vice-versa)... which is exactly what you want to happen, but I find that I have to remember to keep the mail that I want to save on the iPhone's inbox until I get back to my desktop Mac. Otherwise, I have to manually remove it from the trash to save it!

Solution for SKYPE ALWAYS ONLINE

It's a bug like everything that is part of Microsoft.
The solution is: Unlink your Skype account and your Microsoft account
My problem came when I logged from Skype for Windows 8. I was asked do I want to link my accounts without knowing the consequences. After I saw that terrible thing called Skype for Windows 8 I searched the Net for desktop version. But what I found is that I appear always online. After chat with the Skype support I got nothing. So I found in Skype Community that unlinking the Skype and Microsoft accounts worked. I tried it and it worked for me too. Unless Microsoft fix that problem unlinking is the only way.
How do I unlink my Skype and Microsoft or Facebook accounts?
dreamhouse wrote:
This is the right answer. The problem started happening yesterday when I linked the two accounts and now it is resolved after unlinking them again. Shame on you Microsoft!
For you guys who are not managing to get a result from this solution it probably is because you did not go to your config page (see above in the quoted message) to find out if your accounts were linked or not!

@architgrover, the way that it should work is when you run /remotelogout on your PC (or Mac, AFAIK), all other clients will be logged out of MS's cloud, which is what shows people as fake-online.
Are you sure that doing that and then running /showplaces still shows the Android client as live? It really shouldn't. Likewise, using the formal Logoff menu (lower left in the Skype Android client) should have the same effect. Simply turning off your phone or going into Airplane Mode does not, which is a major design flaw but something we'll have to continue to live with.

"Face Time" app for Video Chat between iPhone 3GS and PC?

Does anyone know of an iPhone app and/or PC application combo (besides Yahoo Messenger) that will support video chat between an iPhone 3GS and a PC (not a Mac)?
FYI, I can already do video chat without Face Time between my iPhone 3GS and an iPhone 4, over WiFi or cell, using Fring and a reverse angle mirror from ISeeU.
Thanks.

Official solution for unlocking for an old iPhone 3GS

Last summer, I purchased an iPhone 3GS together with a 2-year contract with Swisscom, one of the mobile telephone operators in Switzerland. A few weeks ago, my phone was stolen while I was on a trip. I contacted Swisscom and informed them that the phone had been stolen. They deactivated the old SIM card, and sent me a replacement SIM card. I reported the theft to the police too. My understanding is that the IMEI number of my old iPhone will be added to a blacklist so that it cannot be used on any mobile telephone networks anymore.
My father, who lives in Texas, recently upgraded from an iPhone 3GS to an iPhone 4. He extended his original contract with AT&T and simply moved his number over to the new phone. Because he no longer had a need for his old iPhone 3GS, he agreed to send it to me. At my suggestion, he went first to the Apple Store in Austin and requested that they unlock the phone. The folks at the Apple Store informed him that they could not unlock it. They suggested that Apple or the mobile carrier in Switzerland could unlock the phone.
My father shipped his old iPhone 3GS to me, and I received it yesterday. This morning, I went to the Apple Store in Zürich and asked if they could unlock the phone so that I could use it with my Swisscom SIM card—the one Swisscom sent me to replace the one in my stolen iPhone. They told me that they could not do this, and that only the original carrier, AT&T could unlock the phone.
What is the official solution for unlocking an old iPhone 3GS?
I have posted this question to the AT&T discussion forum also.

Does Apple have a recommendation?
Read my post. There is nothing that Apple can do for you. The decision as to whether to unlock your phone or not rests entirely with AT&T, & they will not do so under any circumstances.
I read your post, and appreciate your having taken the time to write it. However, I would like to get an official reply from someone at Apple.
Apple is a company that prides itself on its commitment to the highest standards of environmental stewardship.
http://www.apple.com/environment/
Apple’s partner AT&T is also committed to being a good corporate citizen and protecting the natural environment.
http://www.att.com/gen/corporate-citizenship?pid=8506
Re-using old products to extend their useable lifetimes is one of the most effective ways of reducing the impact we have on the environment. When my phone was stolen, it seemed like a perfect opportunity to put this philosophy into action, using my dad’s old phone to use instead of just throwing it away, or leaving it on a shelf to be discarded later.
I think it would be a shame if there were no officially sanctioned way to put an old device to good use.

Recommend a headphones solution for me!

I'm a new iPhone 3G owner and am looking for the cleanest, lowest profile, best quality, money-is-no-object, wireless/bluetooth headphone solution for purposes of listening to music in stereo. Suggestions?

You can buy a stereo bluetooth headset that has an adaptor, I have one.
The iPhone supports connecting to hands free car kits and headsets via bluetooth.

Status Sniffer for Skype

Hello.
I'm looking for something that will obtain/generate/interpret a log of Skype statuses.
In an old post (from 4 years ago) I found reference to something that is close to what I want:
http://community.skype.com/t5/The-Skype-Lounge/Track-History-of-Skype-Status-Changes-Changelog/m-p/7...
There was no reply to this post, and it refers to a Russian site bigbrotherlog.com, but that site seems to have disappeared. The name of the software translates to "Status Sniffer for Skype".
Can anybody point me in the direction of something like this? Or in the direction of where/how this information is stored on a user's PC? Please note that it's a record of status information I'm after, NOT conversation histories.
In addition to normal" Skype, a solution for "Skype for Business" would be of interest, too.
Cheers.

Don't know what to tell you, it's working great for us on both 2k and xp. You might want to get in touch with wildpackets support. We had no trouble with either of the above at anytime. We've had it about 6 months. We've been successful on a Dell Latitude, and 600e, T23 and T30 IBM's. Normal LEAP and wireless connectivity work after the wildpackets drivers are installed too so we're way happy replacing the way overpriced NA sniffer and support.

Arabic typeface used by Skype Chat - Iphone

I am trying to undentify the typeface used by skype on my Iphone 5S. It work really well for screen, and I would like to know if it is bespoke or available to download. Thank you

Hi, Virtue, and welcome to the Community,
Skype does not provide a facility to send transcriptions of call and chat history. You might try accessing your Skype data file by using this third-party freeware add-on: Skype Logs Reader/Viewer (.dbb and main.db files)

Support for multiple languages in Skype Chat

Hi,
on my Windows 8.1 laptop, the default language is English, but I have several Windows language packs installed. In Outlook or within a web browser, I can switch easily between languages when typing, and create emails in different languages simultaneously.
In Skype chat however, there is no Right-Click option to change the language, and if I am writing in French, auto-correct keeps trying to change words to English, resulting in lots of typos.
Selecting Tools, Change language to French just seems to change the menu selections and Skype interface, but autocorrect, spelling prompts remain in English?
Any suggestions on how to make Skype play nice and let me switch languages within the chat windows?
Thanks!

Basic troubleshooting steps right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you've been through ALL the steps and you still have the problem, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.

iPhones purchased in the US are NOT guaranteed to work with 4G bands outside of North America.
For what crazy reason did you purchase an iPhone in the US if you live in Greece? If your phone needs servicing, it will have to be brought back to the US. You cannot get that phone serviced in Greece.
