Skype 5.5 for Android: Easier to Use = More Time to Chat
Today we’redelighted to announce Skype 5.5 for Android. In this release, we put extra focus on improvements that will make the app even easier to use, so you can spend more time chatting and sharing with people you care about most.
Simplified flow to sign back in
With the improvements we’ve made to battery use and notifications, you can comfortably leave Skype running on your Android devices without signing out. However, for those of you who still want to sign out, we’ve made it easier for you to sign back into the app. Skype now remembers your log-in details so you won’t need to. Just one tap on the arrow, and you’re in and ready to send IMs or make calls. You can also change the setting so thepassword is required every time you sign in. While signed in, just tap on the menu icon “...

Since updating, I've been locked out of both of my group chats, and messages in one on one chats are delayed horribly, both sending and receiving. I'll get an alert that a friend has sent me a message, open it, and nothing will be there. Messages that I send show up as pending for as long as half an hour. With group chats, I'll get alerts, but opening them will just lead me to the "recent chats" screen and the chat in question won't be there. There's nothing wrong with my internet/data connection, and all my other internet based apps work fine. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Skype and restarting my phone, but the problem persists.

  • Create a new rule for printing form to use in time statement form

    Hello,
    we need to print an information on time statement form in dependence of a special substitution. Is there any possibility to create a new rule for printing form to use in time statement form? I can't find any information about this.
    Thanks for your help.
    Regards,
    Daniela

    Yes, I've tried this, but I get the error message:
    Form class TEDT can only be displayed with this editor.
    What am I doing wrong? Do I have to create a customer form class and assign a customer time statement form?
    Thanks for your information.

  • Looking for good easy to use inexpensive tuner

    Hi,
    I am looking for a good, easy to use, inexpensive tuner. Not one you use in a rack or on a pedal, but one you use on the computer. I looked and there are a ton out there so I figured I would look for recommendations here.
    I do not like the way GBs works. It fluctuates too much as the note decays and drives me nuts. I want a simple one, that works great. (If it has a feature that helps in tuning a 12 string, than thats a plus, but not a deal breaker). Simple and accurate is most important.
    Lastly I noticed some they sell are AU and some are stand alone. Is one better than the other?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Strangedogs,
    Thanks for the link but if you read the review of it on the site, it is terrible. The users on VT hated it. It got 1 star out of 5. I was looking for a recommendation of one that someone has actually "used" themselves and likes it from experience using it.
    There was a link that someone posted there for a free tuner from emagic that they said is great, but all the links I found with google run to a dead end unfortunately.
    Paul
    BTW: boy do those 12 strings take forever to tune. I was jamming with a friend over new years weekend and it took him forever to tune up, (and he has an excellent ear).

  • Firefox for Android becomes painfully slow over time. Clearing data fixes, but erases bookmarks. Where is the "Reset" function ??

    After a fresh install, Firefox loads websites very fast with almost no lag. After a few weeks, it becomes slower and slower. Getting to the point where it wil take aboit 20 seconds to display the Top Sites/Bookmarks window. Then sometimes opening a page, the loading circle stops moving and it freezes the phone. After about 15 seconds everything works again. The only way I found to fix this horrendous problem is to go into control panel for Firefox and Clear Data. I dont like doing that because I lose all of my bookmarks. It seems the Cache always shows "0 bytes" so there never is nothing to clear out. I would like to know where this "Reset" function is for Android. I see they have it for Windows versions..but what about Android?
    My phone is an HTC Rezound running stock Android 4.0.3
    Thanks in advance.

    Bruce,<br/>whilst waiting for Roland to get back you may wish to try this
    Enter into the address bar ''about:memory'' you get interactive dynamic information about memory usage, and maybe also ''about:compartments'' .
    That should at least help you see where the memory is going to.

  • Skype for Android can't use Bluetooth headset in a...

    When i've unchecked the "Call audio" checkbox in my bluetooth headset settings of my android device (Samsung Galaxy Note 2) and left "on" only the "Media audio" checkbox, then skype uses my bt headset only untill my call has been answered. After call recipient has been answered my call, skype starts using my phone speaker.
    It's a shame, that i can't use my stereo bluetooth headset (in a2dp mode) in pair with my phone's microphone.
    Does somebody have a workaround for this problem?
    Thansk for your attention.

    According to the A2DP, where P stands for that states that the BT microphone is to be used.
    You (and Skype) should study the profile, since this allow e.g. contacts and a pile of other things to be shared say with your car´s Bluetooth. For audio, the phone can use the Bluetooth for Audio (stereo or mono) and microphone (usually mono, but stereo is upported).
    Bluetooth is pretty advanced protocol, that even cover the power of the radio, so you batteries both on the headset and on the phone will last longer if you keep them close. The profile supported indicates the device category - laptop computer, mobile phone etc. The number will usually refer to the version of Bluetooth, here 2, while headset now are in version 4. There are a lot of confusion about this, and a number of applications on the Playstore is just at the best utter nonsense, but can also cause damage. Many of the problems posted here may be related to installation of faulty "apps". Your phone should in newer versions of Android support A2DP as they come. 

  • Skype for Android sent messages have wrong time an...

    I have a problem with Skype on my Huawei phone. When I send a message, it seems Skype thinks it was sent in the past, because I see it for a couple seconds and then BOOM it's way back mixed in with my past messages. It basically disappears and I have to scroll back to find it. The time on my phone was wrong before, but I've fixed it and it is now correct. What could be causing this problem and what steps can I take to fix it?

    This is still not resolved.

  • Skype 2.6 for android download

    update

    Dear friend, 
    I found a very cool website: kccebde.com. which mainly sell electric products like laptop, phone, ipad, psp and so on. Their products are latest and the price is suitable. All of their products have IWS (international warranty service). And the express delivery is very fast, just takes 3 to 7 days. They ship worldwide. If you want to buy some products, it will be a good choice.                                
    Yours sincerely!

  • Any Recommendations for External HD to use with Time Machine?

    Have been using Time Capsule wireless as my drive for Time Machine back-ups for a couple of years with mixed success. It also serves as a wireless router for internet service between all devices in my household.
    Was recently recommended to me to invest in an external firewired hard drive to use for Time Machine so now I'm presented with a dilemma: Which one to choose?
    Need 3 Terabytes and I'm looking at the Iomega Mac Companion (3TB) but see that Apple has discontinued selling it from its store and there's an issue with using USB and FW simultaneously.
    Looking for feedback from anyone whose used this device and/or recommendations on another 3TB drive to purchase.
    Thanks in advance.

    From that broad page The hatter suggested, these specific enclosures (with or without a drive pre-installed) are pretty good.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
    The one at the bottom that says 0GB is the same enclosure empty, so that you can pick a separate drive mechanism to install in it. That way you can order the exact drive you want, instead of having them choose from what they have on hand.
    Wireheads will choose the 0GB and install the drive they prefer, most "regular" folks just buy it with a drive already installed and it works (after initializing) right out of the box, no assembly required.

  • Firefox for Android loads from start every time its switched back from other apps

    Hi
    I have figured this out that when I load Web pages and meanwhile I switch to other apps like Whatsapp, and then coming back to Firefox, Firefox loads again from the start instead of continuing from where I left.
    Even if the Web page is loaded fully and the loading process is completed and I switch to Whatsapp or any and then back to Firefox, Firefox again starts the process from beginning and loads the same page.
    This issue is not in chrome, as if Chrome is loading page and switch back and forth from other apps, chrome continues the process where I left and if the Web page is already loaded then Chrome doesn't start the process again and stays where it is.
    Please look into this, else you guys rock ;)

    Are you using the app switcher?
    Maybe this has something to do with how long the page is supposed to be cached... When I expand my tab list, I can see that some of the tabs are just where I left them and others have blanked out.
    Hopefully and Android guru can give you a better answer.

  • FIOS DVR Manager for iPhone - can I use more than one iPhone?

    Can the FIOS DVR manager be used from more than one iPhone for the same DVR?

    Only one device can be used at a time to program your ASTB. In theory, you can use different phones however, each time you switch devices you will need to register the phone and obtain a new authorization code to access your ASTB.

  • If I use more than 1 skype name and password, do I...

    I have several skype names, and if I want to use more than 1, do I need to have a separate account for each name, or do the minutes purchased apply to my email address, not to the skype name?

    Hi, sunandfun7, and welcome to the Community!
    Each Skype name is a different account, so anything purchased by that account can be used only for or on that account.  In other words, purchases are tied to a specific Skype account, not to an e-mail address.
    Kind regards,
    Elaine
