First off, are you on a Verizon or an Alltel plan? With that what PRL is your phone using?
I wonder if you were connecting to a former Alltel tower that somehow still thinks it an Alltel tower or your phone thought it was an Alltel tower. Either way the Skype app could have not gotten the right message or code that "Yes, you are on Verizon. Please continue connecting". BTW There is no basis to this thought just past experience with issues with merged areas.
If anything , I hope this give you some ideas.

Using Skype Mobile while traveling in Europe

I have a Verizon Samsung Fascinate with Skype installed. I have bought credits.
I will soon be traveling to Belgium and France. I have been told by Verizon that my phone will not work in Europe. However, when my husband talked to a representative from Skype, he was told that, with the Skype credits, we would be able to use our phone in Europe.... Please explain the discrepancy in what we were told by the two representatives from the 2 companies.
If there is something special we have to do in order to use our phone in Europe, please let us know what it is.
Thank you

--- At the risk of sounding technologically uninformed I don't understand the acronyms you used for phone compatibility in Europe. I have an unused iPhone 4 I had AT&T "unlock" for me (I understand there's no real way to check stateside whether the unlock process was actually successful, but I'll go with the assumption it worked for now) BTW AT&T website provides a form you submit and they'll reply within 48 hrs. Took 3 hrs for me, I assume because I have another phone under contract with them, so no harm no foul for them.
--- Anyway ... I visited various blogs trying to find out the best process to acquire a SIM card for France. It's complicated as the saying goes. So I googled the question what about Skype?
--- I use Skype-to-Go from US to call Europe. Very cool, they provide a local # I dial and it connects me for little cost. Calling cell phones is pricyer than landlines. I can use Skype-to-Go from ANYWHERE in the US on one of three authorized phones.
--- My question is: Is there a similar process FROM Europe to US?
--- Can I use the Skype App to dial a phone in the US from the existing AT&T US iPhone without incurring roaming charges- and if YES, HOW?
OR Can I use my old unlocked iPhone with a SIM card from France to call US and Euro #s? if yes which provider do you recommend? Preferrable one purchased in US so it is pre-authorized and ready to go upon arrival.
OR do I need to use the iPad camera-driven Skype function that requires previous arrangments to ensure that the recipient is at her computer also?
--- The subtle differences have never been clear to me ...
Thank you!

Droid X - Problem using 3G Mobile Hotspot

About half the time I use my Droid X 3G Mobile Hotspot feature it drops from a 3G signal to a 1X signal. I will have about 3 bars of 3G signal, I will turn the 3G Mobile Hotspot feature on and the signal will drop to a 1X signal. If I turn the feature off, it will return to a 3G signal. Does anybody else have this problem or know how to fix it?
Thanks

I have seen a few reference to the number of 3G bars they have, are you by chance referring to the signal strength bars, because if you are combining these two I hope you relieve the bars meter represent the phones signal strength not the 3G strength.. The phone has more than one radio signal, the phone and data signal are not transmitted from the same signal so just because the phone is receiving a good does not mean the 3G data signal is as strong... The only indicator you have to indicate your data connection is the 3G and 1X indicator on the top status bar.
Try moving device and see if the phone returns to 3G mode because I haven't noticed this issue but I have noticed the drop of a signal strength of phone when a data connection is active. Never nothing major but it does drop until data connection is disconnected. Sounds like a software bug.

Problem using Win Mobile 2005

Hello,
Our customer is using 2 different devices one is having Win Mobile 2006 as the OS and the other is having Win Mobile 2005 as the OS.

Hi,
I'm replying assuming that you are using SAP NETWEAVER MOBILE.
Refer to note 1057759 for the delivered Drivers for Peripherals and devices supported in SAP DOE. This lists all the supported barcode scanners for SAP Netweaver Mobile. Those derivers are certified after testing to work only with that device and OS configuration.
For 7.0, refer Note 761833 for supported drivers and devices.

Skype mobile problems...

Skype has been acting crazy on my phone for the past two days. It was working just fine before. No problems at all. Then messages started to take forever to get out. They were pending for a long time and never got out. I uninstalled the app (which was a huge mistake) and it just made things worse. I'm in this one constant group chat (that I didn't save in favorites) and there's no way for me to talk to them. The chat won't let me type anything. I receive messages but after coming back they dissapear. I can't even call them. What is going on? It was fine before. Why is this happening? Is there any way to fix this?

Skype Mobile Global Issue

While traveling in the UK, after successfully using Skype Mobile to contact Skype parties back home in the US, I began today to encounter a message from Verizon Wireless (my carrier) when I tried to use the application that said, "Skype mobile can only be used on Verizon Wireless in the US..." This is strange since both Skype and Verizon advertise this as a free service. Anyone experiencing such a problem that they have solved, or have an explanantion for?
The only recent change to the device was downloading and using the new Twitter for BlackBerry application, which required a reboot. I have reloaded/replaced the Skype software. I may try deleting and reinstalling the software. as well.

Hi BrandonSHall,
I have make it work permanently :) tested by restarting system :), given below steps will help you to set Skype for bushiness even it's disabled by Admin or you are on Lync server 2013.
1) Open registry --> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync\EnableSkypeUI
change value from 0000 00 00 00 00 to 0000 00 00 00 10.
2) now go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Lync --> right click --> permission
--> click on add --> deny "everyone" --> apply -->
Now restart your system and check. steps are funny but this will work for everyone.
please check and revert.

To learn about using Skype mobile to make free for low-cost calls from the US, visit www.verizonwireless.com/skypemobile" and after I click OK it brings me back to the Skype login screen. I am a former Alltell customer.

Hi. I understand that you have questions regarding Skype and I will be happy to help you further. Are you not trying it in the United States? Skype mobile only works with our 3G network so if you are attempting to use it via Wifi, it will not work.
Please let me know if you have any other questions :smileywink:
Thanks!

Dropped calls using Skype.

Hello everybody,
I've got a Linksys WRT54G router updated with the latest firmware (4.30.5 and now shows as model WRT54GL for some reason). I have no disconnections from using wireless broadband ordinarily but do have disconnections using VOIP services such as Skype and Babble. After a few minutes into the call, Skype reports the call as dropped and in the taskbar appears an icon with a red cross through the wireless connection icon (I am using Windows XP Home SP2).
I have no problems using Skype through a wired connection. Initially I thought the problem was related to Skype alone, but it also happens with other VOIP services such as Babble. I have reset the router as described in these forums and set all the options to factory default settings. I have also tried different Wireless Channels to ensure it was not interference. The security I have set up is WPA Personal with TKIP (not default).
Anyone have any suggestions why this may be?
Thanks very much.
Niraj.

Hi ..
As the calls are dropping on the wireless connection try changing some of the wireless setting of the router. . Login to the router configuration page by typing http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your internet explorer. Leave the username field blank and in the password type “admin” (If you have not changed the router password). When the configuration page is fully loaded click on the tab that says wireless. Click on the sub-tab that says Advanced wireless settings. Set the value of Beacon Interval =50, Fragmentation Threshold = 2306 and RTS Threshold = 2307. Save settings.

Cant call mobile phones using Skype in Serbia

Dear ladies and gentlemen,
My parents are currently in Serbia and they are using Skype. They have 30€ of credit on their Skype account and use it to call numbers outside of Serbia. Now, this works without problems for landlines (e.g. in Germany) but it doesnt work for mobile phones (also in Germany). Do you have any idea what the problem might be?
Kind regards,

I have a UK Skype number that will ring in the office or on a laptop when I'm online - if I'm not online it diverts to my mobile. I realise that I pay for this forwarded call - at the moment through my Skype Credit but can I get this charge inclusive by buying a premium account or a subscription?
yes, as long as the calling plan you choose supports calls to your mobile (not all subscriptions support mobile numbers)

Cabbit use skype credit to dial landline and mobile

I have been using Skype for over 10 years, and work internationally, so it really comes in handy for me , escept when I have poor WIFI,,,, I use it on desktop and my Iphone,,,, This week my account was suspended for suspicious activity and I was forced to submit information to reactivate and change my password,,, now that I went through all that, I still cannot dial landline and mobile phones although I have 35$ credit showing on my account,,,I have not been told why the account was suspended in the frst place,,, and now I am travelling and cannot even use it ,,,, I am very dissappointed at the process and difficulty to contact anyone who can reactivate my service... Any other service that suspects suspicious activity would simply inform me by my known email,, and resent verification link to the email to initiate a reset,,, but instead,, microsoft goes through an extended automated process, while the customer is forced to sit and wait,, then doesnt even know in the end why the problem started in the first place,,, I am slowly migrating away from microsoft,, and this is just another reason why,,,,

You should be able to change payment method to Skype Credit.
Try this first:
1) Go https://secure.skype.com/account/call-phones/packages
2) Open your subscription Settings
3) Click on Change payment method
4) Add another payment method -> Skype Credit
Once you have done this it should look something like this:

When using Skype my IPad sounds like ocean. This is not a problem when I am on FaceTime or using other apps with sound. Recently updated to newest IOS 7. First there was no sound for Kype and found that had to turn microphone sound on.

When using Skype my IPad 2 now sounds like the ocean and I can barely here my contact. This happened recently after IOS7 update. I did turn the microphone on for Skype as it was required after update. Now my sound is terrible but only a problem when using Skype video call. It is okay for FaceTime.

Thank you! Resetting resolved the issue with terrible sound when trying to use skype. Sounds much better!
I am not sure what all changed when reset was applied to settings --- assume it defaults back to basic settings. I have no idea what I had customized, so will slowly figure out. I have noticed several things. So far I had to add back my wallpaper and reenter password to get back on my wi-fi.
At least SKYPE is now audible.

If you are in the UK:
Please upgrade your plan to Web n Walk plus. One of our users on T-Mobile UK had this to report back to us:
T-Mobile UK are in fact port blocking to ensure fair usage on their base Web and Walk Plan. I have upgraded to Web and Walk Plus and as a result the port blocks are lifted and I get a higher data allowance!
We were also recently contacted by T-Mobile UK, who stated the following:
Any smart phone (iphone, android etc) that is bought directly from T-Mobile should be automatically provisioned with Web n Walk plus, if customers have bought a handset sim free then they will need to call customer services and get this added. It is free of charge for most price plans (including new plans) but some older plans will generate a charge of £5pm for this.

Flex 4.5 problem using image in Mobile Application (Android)

I have a problem using flex and mobile application...
I have an image with path = "/mnt/sdcard/images/20120202172020990.jpg"
Simply using
<s:Image id="image" source="/mnt/sdcard/images/20120202172020990.jpg" />
Get me an empty image on device, still using it on computer (desktop build / debug) it works fine...
I have enabled every kind of permission in the app.xml
Why I got this error?

I actually solved the problem using:
image.source = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath(file_name).url;
using instead this one it will work only under windows...
image.source = File.desktopDirectory.resolvePath(file_name).nativePath;
I don't know if it's a bug or whatelse, but I think that the source property of Image passing a filename that start with / (/ is root for unix based OS, android, linux, ios, etc), will take is as a relative path instead of complete path...
