Skype calls keep dropping and Skype freezes?

I have good internet and every **bleep** minute or so when im in a call with my friends, skype freezes (but not like "not responding", i can click buttons, they just don't do anything) and the call is dropped for like 40 seconds and then it fixes itself again. it does this very often and im getting tired of it.
i've re installed skype, re installed java, installed an older version of skype and NOTHING works!!!
It's not my internet because while skype is frozen, i can be playing a game flawlessly, or googling things, something is wrong with my skype.
also my computer is really good (custom built gaming pc)
Skype is really pissing me off!

Same sort of thing is happening to me and has been happening for a while, except that it doesn't come back in 40 seconds. It's so annoying, and I'm convinced that skype is the biggest and most worthless piece of **bleep** program out there, I can't wait until there's a viable alternative. It will just stop mid call, as if the other person isn't talking, then it will become unresponsive. It's not like it's unresponsive and greyed out with Windows saying it can fix it, it just completely ignores everything. If I want to end the call, too bad. If I want to force quit the app, too bad. If I want to sign back on, too bad (it's already running). I have to restart my computer so many times throughout the day that it interferes with my work and I depend on Skype to connect my coworkers. It's so full of issues that I'm fed up. No updates or downgrades help me either, I've tried almost every one of the "good" ones.

Updated to iOS 8.02 calls keep dropping in my car

I just updated to iOS 8.02 and now i can make connections with my car, but the calls keep on dropping? Any help.

Hi Janet,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I can imagine it would be frustrating, having your iPhone not be able to make or receive calls after updating iOS. I recommend taking a look at the article below because it provides a lot of great troubleshooting tips that will resolve most issues like this.

Why do my calls keep dropping on my iPhone 5???

I have an iPhone 5. T-Mobile. UK.
My calls just keep dropping out all the time. Every phone call people are asking me to repeat myself because of my calls dropping out. Its so annoyin.
Is this happening to anyone else???

Same here...
Bluetooth is also not working properly, I can have a full cellular signal but unable to make calls sometimes. People cannot hear me properly sometimes and I cannot hear them, this is when I am using the phone normally or with Bluetooth in my car. 3G just doesn't work at all, if I turn it on and off then the cellular signal drops to one or two bars, then I get "No Service" too.
People keep telling me that they hae problems hearing me and that it is a bad line on just about every call...
This is a replacement phone too, my wife is also having the same problems...I can't carry on using the phone with these problems as it is used to business, it's not acceptable.
I've restore as a new phone, reset network settings reset to factory settings and have run out of patience. Seriously thinking of another phone or even going back to the 4S!

Connection keeps dropping and speed is getting slo...

Hi,
I have had infinity over a week now and after having a speed of 50M and a ping of 17 each day it has dropped and is now iro 34M and ping of 37. What is of more concern is my connection is keeps dropping. Has happened every day - DSL light going off on Infinity box and homehub. I did a speed check on BT wholesale and it seems my ip profile has been dropped down to 36M.
I am connecting wireless and have tried a different channels, tried using DNS even tried a new HH3 as I had a spare. But as yet no improvement. Anyone any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

You could have a fault, to check do the following.
1. Visit this link https://www.bt.com/consumerFaultTracking/secure/faults/tracking.do;jsessionid=2W59QB2TvDGLZST41KJS2T...
2. Make an account with your BT Account number, this is different to your forum account.
3. Once the account is created re-visit the link from instruction #1 and login
4. Now you want to click on "Check my line now"
5. You should see your telephone number in a box, make sure that box is ticked if not enter your number.
6. Click on "Check my line" once step 5 has been completed
7. Make sure the details are correct, select the most relavant problem to you. I find the most common is the top selection "I've removed all equipment...."
8. Finally, Click "Check my line" **MAKE SURE NO ONE IS USING THE PHONE** Once completed, post the results contact a mod if a fault is found.

Why do calls keep dropping?

My calls have started routinely dropping during the conversation. The phone rings okay but calls just keep dropping.

Thanks for the zip code information! Service should be great at that location, although service indoors can always be tricky due to uncontrollable items like building material. I'm glad you are getting such great service outdoors! This tells me there is not trouble with your phone. Let's check into any other availble options to improve your experience. Which make/model device are you using? Do you have highspeed internet at home?

Device operating system releases are "released" by specific carriers once they have certified and trained their support techs, but still, you are able to load to any carrier's same model by following the instructions below.
See the link below, for the download and simple installation instructions.
http://www.blackberryforums.com/general-9700-series-discussion-bold-2/224375-latest-os-9700-5-0-0-10...
Do a backup of your device first, using Desktop Manager > Backup. Close Desktop Manager upon completion.
1. Download the OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
Some users might worry they will void their device warranty by loading an OS from another carrier. There is really nothing to worry about.

Purchased USA subscription but keep drop and fail ...

Hi there, I purchase the United State subscription, but when I make calls to area (612) it keep fail or when it go through then a bit later it drop call, why? I know I have Comcast cable speed, which shouldn't be a problem. I use both IPhone 4 and IPad 2 to test it with, both had same problems. Please help thanks

After you canceled your subscription, did you also uninstall Creative Cloud?

My jetpack won't charge. I only use the cable that came with it. and by won't charge, I mean even when plugged in the battery keeps dropping and never goes up.

My MiFi jetpack 6620 doesn't charge. I've plugged it into the charger that comes with it, and only that charger. But nothing happens. The battery keeps getting drained. I first attempted when it was at 16%. After being on the charger a few hours, it dropped to 15%, then 14%. I'm currently at 12%. I've tried different outlets at different locations. And I've tested the charger cable on my phone and it charges that just fine. Which is more likely: the battery is defective or there is a problem with the jetpack itself? and the real kicker is that I've only had it for a week.

Happy Friday cjyoyomasta! I wanted to reach out to you to see if you received the assistance that you need with your jetpack. May I ask have you took the device to the store for assistance? If so, what was the results? If you can provie us with a status update then we can assist, if still needed.
Thank you…

Community - My iMac keeps dropping and instantly resetting my wifi connection

Hey folks - I know a lot of people have been complaining about desktop issues and wifi connectivity, but this seems to be quite the variant from other folks' problems...
Every 2-20 minutes, my iMac is dropping, then instantly resetting my wifi connection. The actual wifi drop lasts no longer than 5 seconds, and instantly reconnects itself with no input from me... the problem is it completely interrupts any downloading, streaming, gaming, or anything else I might be doing that requires a constant internet connection. It seems to drop off just long enough to stop the connection, then it resets all on it's own.
I'm currently using a mid-2011 27 inch iMac intel core i5 3.1 ghz processor w/ OS X Lion 10.7.3. I have a Linksys router and a GCI issued modem, unsure of the brand as there are minimal markings on it. The internet/tv service (run by GCI) is smooth throughout the rest of my home, and no other items we own connected to the net seem to have the same problem...
I have tried soft resets on both the modem and router. I have restarted my machine several times and re-added the network location and wifi connection to my computer. I have unplugged both modem and router to let those reset and have unplugged and reconnected my coax cable for several minutes as well. No time of day seems to work well, and it's becoming quite difficult to work and do other fun functions like stream television or game.
Any help here would be super appreciated, and I need to warn folks right away that I am NOT very tech savvy, so any kind of messing with DNS or other what I would call 'advanced' settings may be tough :O Thanks and cheers!
-Monty

Hi Monty, I know you're not tech savvy but if you can get an 802.11n router your iMac would be able to take advantage of the less crowded 5 GHz spectrum. The Linksys ought to have some markings on it which you could look up to determine if it is 802.11n capable or not.
The symptoms you describe are consistent with wireless interference. The ability to use 802.11n in lieu of the older 802.11g your Linksys router is probably using is one way to mitigate its effects.
The Apple AirPort Extreme base station and the Time Capsule can both create two simultaneous wireless networks: a fast 5 GHz one for your iMac, and a 2.4 GHz one for other devices.
I do not know why your iMac drops off and on but that may be one consideration.

Lenovo G585 - wifi dropping and video freezing

Hi all,
I bought this Lenovo G585 (Win 8) in January this year, and over the past few weeks some problems have been developing. When I move the laptop, either the video I am streaming freezes, or the wifi drops, or both. Sometimes, even after 5/6 restarts, the laptop will not be able to find the wireless networks and I will have to shut it down, remove the battery, replace the battery, and turn it back on - and for some reason this works!
When I say "move" I literally mean I can be sitting on the sofa and move the laptop from beside me up onto my lap. The problem occurs when I transport the laptop between rooms, too.
I've updated the drivers, changed power management settings, updated my antivirus and run scans, all to no avail. What can I do next?

hi nikitgr,
When Heavyload is stressing the CPU @ 100% load, the CPU clock speed should reach 1.4Ghz as this is the specifications of the processor. (the image below only shows half). As far as I know, you should be getting 1400Mhz per core on 100% load.
If you see the same values above after running Heavyload CPU stress test, I recommend you report your findings to the Lenovo support team as to check if this is a limitation of the unit as per design or if there's a BIOS fix to correct it.
Regards

I phone 3 calls keep dropping

Why do calls I make drop randomly ?

could be the service provider and just in a bad area... if your phone is calling our id have to assume its not the phone. you could possibly need a new simcard depending on who your provider is also!

IPhone 6 keeps dropping wifi, then freezes.

I've only had this phone for 2 weeks. And I have to hard reset it at least once a day because it drops my wifi and then won't let me turn it off via the power button.

Same issue here, but with iPhone 5s and iPad Air with Cisco Linksys EA3500 dual band N router. IOS 7 and Mavericks worked fine. Once I upgraded both iOS devices to iOS 8 I began to have issues. If I toggle wifi off/on it temporarily fixes the issue, but when I leave the device sit for a while (screen locks, etc.) it loses connectivity when I unlock the screen and try to use it again. Tried resetting networking, but still an issue.
I just traded my iPad Air at the Apple Store for an iPad Air 2 yesterday and my new iPad has the same issue! My 2011 13" MBP also now has the issue since upgrading to Yosemite. Like with iOS, toggling the wifi off/on temporarily fixes the issue. Before with Mavericks it worked fine.
Both my work laptop (Lenovo\Windows 7) and Kindle still work fine using the same router
I Get the same results with the G or N bands, and both devices are on the latest iOS (8.1)
