Skype 7.x missing "Check call quality" icon

Hi,
In old version, next to the "add participants" icon, it have a call quality check icon, which i can check the "Connection speed in between me and other side.
In new Skype 7.x, i cannot find anymore, only found this icon when already startup the call.
Where i can check call quality before the call startup

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.

8900 Curve call log icon

I recently switched over from my 8800 to my new 8900 Curve -- I love the 8900 however I miss the call log icon and the call log in general -- My options are set for call logging however the call logs are mingled with my email messages and as such are difficult to track -0-0 where as my 8800 had a separate call log -- with an icon on my desktop which made it very easy to see missed calls and so on. Thanks!

Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. If you press the green dial key, you should open direct to the Call Log. Does that not happen on your device?
2. To remove the calls logged from your main messages folder, open the Call Log by pressing the green dial key > press the Menu key > Options > Call Logging and remove the choice from ALL.
And save.

Skype to go call quality

Every time I make a call from skype to go to landline in the country which is included in my subscription the quality drops down and the other end can not hear me.

Hardware to Maximize Skype Video Call Quality

Looking to build two Windows desktop computers solely to Skype between them. Both machines will have Internet at 20 Mbps up and down, and two-to-three selectable (one-at-a-time) webcams per machine. Want to absolutely maximize video call quality; audio and overall cost are less important. What specifications for the motherboards/cards/webcams would you suggest? Suggestions of brand and model are acceptable, but detailed specifications are more important. Replies very much appreciated.

I answered a similar question to this in the past, so you may find this thread helpful:
http://community.skype.com/t5/Hardware/Buying-Computer-for-Skype/m-p/1662779/highlight/true#M4076
Do understand that unless you have something managing the feed for multiple webcams/video feeds prior to coming into your machine, the load will be put on your processor. Webcams can be very resource demanding. If you chose to run multiple versions of Skype that may be as well. I wouldn't expect 1080p or in some cases HD video in scenarios where you may be taxing even a very fast processor. Since there can be many variables it's hard to say what will work in your scenario.

Checking book quality before ordering

Does anyone know how to verify that the PDF file transmitted when ordering a book accurately represents what you see when designing a book?
Why I want a preview of the PDF...
My order this year consisted of 3 large books and 3 extra-large books. Both were identical projects in iPhoto with the only difference being the size of the book. The large books arrived looking great and the extra-large books had 21 out of 30 pages that looked terrible. These were not issues related to the image resolution. I'm familiar with the little warning icon when images are too low of a resolution.
Customer service offered my wife a partial refund because they said that the PDF's on their end looked horrible as well and therefore we were somehow to blame. They suggested not using WiFi and closing all other applications before ordering.
I was livid because this is our 10th year in ordering books and we've never had this problem. I called to complain since our iMac isn't using WiFi and there's no way to check the quality before ordering. I can accept that the printing company isn't to blame due to the rule of garbage-in-garbage-out but I can't see what I could have done differently to avoid this.
I was given a full refund and advised to place the order again. I should then wait 30 minutes and then call with the order number and ask them to preview the PDF for me to make sure it looks ok. I'm sure this will catch any glaring problems but it doesn't seem very efficient. Seems like there should be an online preview capability.

Answering my own question:

Where has the 'checking for mail' icon gone?

Whenever I used to check my mail manually (Comand-Shift-N) an icon to the left of the Inbox would come up to show that mail was checking. If I remember correctly, it was a couple of triangles in a circle that would spin while the process was being executed. It's disappeared now - nothing come up and there's no way of knowing whether Mail is checking for mail or has finished doing so now. Any ideas where this visual indication of when Mail is busy checking for mail might have gone and how I can get it back?
By the way, what do you call that icon - the one that comes up when a process is being exectued to show you so?

Yes, that's right - no, it doesn't appear in the mailbox list. Where it used to be, e.g. if you're in Inbox and it's darkened to show it's the folder being viewed, it used to be the right of of 'Inbox' - where, when Mail is NOT checking for mail, there is a circle with a number in the middle of it to show how many unread messages are in the folder... It's that circle (the one showing the number of unread messages when Mail is idle) that used to turn into two spinning triangles when Mail was checking for mail. It's gone, but the circle displaying the number of unread messages is still there.
It certainly is checking for mail, and receiving everything and doing everything else perfectly. In fact, that's the problem - it's such a reliable and well-behaved program that it seems such a waste of time to worry about silly, niggling little things. But still... Would be nice to have it back. I liked it and miss it.
Nope, no enhancements; just as it was installed when I took delivery of the computer. Is it possible Firefox has somehow corrupted it?
All current Apple and Mozilla (Firefox 3.0.11) updates are installed.

Keep getting missed calls/missed group calls

Something really strange has been happening for the past week or so. I keep getting missed calls/group calls from "Bastian" and "Anonymous", none of these people are on my contact list and my iphone never rings when they try and call me. I just get a notification to say "missed call". The strange thing is when I swipe the notification to check my skype history none of these calls exist. There is never a missed call on skype for desktop either. On my desktop I have my privacy set to "only allow contacts to call me". Please explain what is going on with these ghost calls and how I can prevent this?

Hi, I've got the same problem. Tried everything including contacting the person and asking to leave me alone. Nothing seems to work. Hopefully someone knows the solution

They switched me to Skype Premuim, can't make call...

OK, here goes.
I've had a Skype Unlimited World subscription for several years, a recurring $9.99/monthly payment. About a week ago I tried to make a call on my mobile and got the message saying 'Skype Premuim doesn't allow calls to phones, that I would need to buy Skype credit', etc....
Hmmm...what the heck is going on?
i checked my emails to see if a late May 'Your purchase has been delivered' mail had come in, and no, it hadn't. Hmmm...more wondering about what's going on. I did not receive any messages informing me of changes to my subscription, changes to Skype or changes to Skype Premium. i went to my account page at Skype to see that Skype Premium was active, but that $0.00 had been charged in late May. Hmmm....what's up with that?
I did read the 'Skype Premium' is changing, group video calls are free', whatever, but it still was not clear about being able make calls to phones, and that's all I've ever needed of Skype for the past couple years. i want to continue having what I had. And I have no interest in group videos call anyway.
What to do? There is no one to call and talk with, but I did have a 'chat session' with a support rep (automated?) who was not able to quite understand my concerns. it ended with the chat rep telling me I'd have Skype Premuim for free until next January. I did tell the chat rep that I just wanted to be able to make calls, that group video was of no interest to me, and she (chat rep had a female name) told me everything was fine, that i would be able to make calls as I had been doing for a few years now.
OK, I'm back on, right? At least that's what my thinking was. So yesterday i tried to make calls, and much to my dismay, there was the same message...'Skype Premuim doesn't allow calls to phones, you will need to buy Skype credit'....AARGH.
So that's it? You can not make calls to phones with Skype Premuim? Or you can, but Skype is having issued sorting it out? Would someone here be able to clarify?
I don't see any use for me of a Skype Premium account if I can't make calls to phones.
I see the world subscription is now $13.99 a month. I would have just preferred they tell me the subscription price was increasing, instead of having to go through this whole mess to find out things have changed. Certainly they should send messages to inform customers that changes have been made instead of having to dig around and find out on their own.

How do i turn off automatic texts when i miss a call?

My iphone is sending out text messages to people when i miss a call from them. How do i turn this feature off? I din't turn it on in the first place either?!!?

Are you sure you increased the caller volume? This is only adjustable while in conversation. So, while you are calling you'll see a few icons on your screen and one of them is to adjust your caller volume.

Skype shows that it is calling the wrong number

(Skype version 7.2.0.103 running on a Windows 8.1 desktop computer.)
As of this morning I been having an issue with skype where it shows that it is calling the first of three numbers I have set up for a contact, even when it is in fact calling one of the other numbers.
For inscance I select to call the second number for the contact (the office number), skype shows that it is calling the first number (the cell phone). Skype actually calls the office number (as was selected), it just indicates that it is calling the cell number.
Confusing/Annoying problem, but not critical.

Sometimes my iphone 4s wont ring when i have a call or show i have missed a call altho sometime later it will state i have a voicemail, will this be the phone or network provider

phone doesnt ring or say i have missed a call but sometimes 2 hrs after it states i have a voicemail waiting, i have asked friends about this and they state when calling me it goes direct to voicemail is ths the phone or netwoirk provider it is becoming more and more frequent and fustrating as my phone is being used when im on call and thus missing important calls, can anyone help or having same problem, my network is EE and was orange thanks

If there's an Apple store nearby make an appointment with the genius bar to have it checked. Be sure to sync it and back it up, as well as import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts separately (such as by sync them with iCloud) in case it needs to be replaced.

Skype Charges for Received Video Calls

Under Skype's current payment plan policy is there a charge to a Skype receiver of a video call?

Just wanted to post a more current reply. After spending some time today in online chat with VZ support, and having the rep tell me that incoming international calls ARE charged for roaming, and me persisting to get the correct answer ... she checked with global support and DID confirm Grothka's answer: that is, if the VZ customer is in the US and receives an international call, they are ONLY charged minutes; no additional fees.
