Skype consistently hangs up on first ring calling ...

I am having a repetitive issue, that occurs on both of my computers. Routinely, when I call a landline or cell phone, the line will ring once and immediately hang up. I repeat the dialing out, and it goes through - every single time. This is very annoying, and on some occassions, I hear the recipient answer before it hangs up on them. I anticipate that this has to do with settings, but do not know where to turn.
I appreciate any help!

I recently had this problem with my webcam. Turns out after days of frustration... I have a USB 2.0 webcam that I was plugging into my USB 1.1 front panel ports. It would lock up my system when I accessed the cam. Make sure your cam is plugged into a USB 2.0 port.
Also, I used to have an Acer notebook that would run hot. The CPU frequency scaling had the cpu dialed down most of the time to keep the heat down. I took all the screws out of the bottom of the case, exposing a very large heatsink/fan unit choked up with dust. Cleaned that with a toothbrush and some air. Notebook ran like new again.

  • Skype Windows client hangs for the first call - co...

    Hi,
    Skype on my Windows 8.1 (depending on its mood) hangs for the first call. It will keep ringing and ringing till it times out, during that time I am not able to hang up the call as well, the red hang up button doesnt work and we have to let the call go on till it drops on its own. Then on the second try it connects perfectly fine. This happens most of the times, there are only a few days where it connects on the first try otherwise its always the 2nd time. 
    Please let me know what could be the possible solution for this one?
    Thanks

  • I can't put call on hold to answer incomming call, always hangs up on first call

    I can't put call on hold to answer incomming call, always hangs up on first call

    The procedure is different, depending on whether your carrier uses CDMA or GSM. Consult the manual. gdgmacguy gives directions on how to find it in the post above.

  • First Outgoing Call Ring Louder Than The Rest?

    Ok well first off, The iPhone is awesome. I have a good battery life (77 hours of standby time and going...), volume on Ipod and Movies is decent.
    My question is this, I've noticed that when I make an outgoing call the first ring that comes through the earpiece and speakerphone is LOUD, loud enough for me to hear it without it pressed against my cheek. The crazy thing is that the 2nd ring and following rings are really low and stays that low during conversation which leads me to believe that there is a glitch that could be fixed. Is anyone else notice this?
    Everything else about the iPhone is AWESOME!!!!

    Both my husband's and my iPhone have the first outgoing ring significantly louder than the rest of the call.

  • My incoming calls on my iphone 5C get disconnected after the first ring. Please help!

    My incoming calls on my iphone 5C get disconnected after the first ring. Please help!

    I had this problem too with my newly bought iPhone 4s.I went to a technician shop to ask what the problem is and they said they could fix it however they would charge £35 and I believed this was too much. I was playing around with my iPhone to see if I could fix this problem I went on setting the clicked on the music section at the music section there is the button called sound check which was off so I decided to turn it on . After I turned it on my sound came back I was ecstatic I saved myself £35 and having to return the phone.

  • TS3742 I have an iMac 24" system. I just recently installed MAC OS X 10.7.4 (Lion) on my system. Since doing so, my system consistently hangs. Particularly when using iMovie and iPhoto.

    I have an iMac 24" system. I just recently installed MAC OS X 10.7.4 (Lion) on my system. Since doing so, my system consistently hangs. Particularly when using iMovie and iPhoto. I have to power off my system to get it running again. Any suggestions on what I can do  to address this situation.

    I would first reset the SMC:
    Shut down and unplug the Mac.
    Keep the Mac unplugged for at least fifteen seconds.
    Plug the Mac back in and do not turn it back on for at least five seconds.
    Press the power button to turn the Mac back on.
    Then I would reset the PRAM by rebooting the iMac while simultaneously holding the Command-Option-P-R keys until the machine restarts a second time.
    Let us know if these  procedures don't solve the problems.
    Hope this helps

  • Very distinct coarse ringing sound on first ring only?

    Hi, I have this weird issue on my phone, that started recently.
    Whenever, I make a call, the first ring sound is very distinct, low and coarse and the subsequent call rings sound normal as always.
    This happens in every call, irrespective of my location.
    I did not have this happening earlier. Doesn't happen with my friend's iphone, calling from the same location.
    We both have AT&T.
    So, seems something related to iOS causing this weird issue.

    I haven't spoken to AT&T, since this doesn't seem to be AT&T issue.
    You're talking about the ring sound you hear when you are placing a call, right?  As far as I know, that sound comes through the phone network.
    This started around the same time when I updated my OS to 5.0.1
    That may just be coincedience.
    and my roomie with iphone 4 doesn't have similar problem,
    Your roommate has a differnet phone number.  I'm suggest the problem is something specific to your number.

    My I phone 5 hangs if I get miss call os 7.0.4? Unable to understand if it's a phone or hardware issue?

    Hi Nad1985,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is unresponsive after missing calls, I recommend first restarting or resetting it:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    You can find the full article with these steps here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If you are still experiencing the same issue, I recommend resetting all settings next:
    Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose Reset All Settings:  All your preferences and settings are reset.
    Reset iPhone settings
    http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iph7a2a9399b
    If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

  • Use Skype USA number to make and recieve calls fro...

    I am planing to visit india for 2 months and i have Iphone 4S with Skype App.
    Can I use Skype USA number to make and recive calls from India?

    I've moved your post here as you had used an incorrect board.
    Sorry - you can't. Firstly a Skype OnLine # is for your contacts to call YOU (inbound calls). You can't make calls from an OnLine #. Secondly, the program isn't available in India.
    TIME ZONE - US EASTERN. LOCATION - PHILADELPHIA, PA, USA.
    I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac
    If my advice helped to fix your issue please mark it as a solution to help others.

  • E71 Hangs while receiving an incoming call

    Hi Guys,
    I have recently bought an E71 and have been facing a peculiar problem since day one. My phone at times (2 out of 10 times)hangs when receiving an incoming call and reboots automatically. On contacting the customer care I was told that I may have installed too many applications but the fact is that I am using my E71 as a very basic phone as of now - any ideas what is wrong with my handset? Is anyone else facing the same issue?
    Thanks,
    Nishant

    My log on my E71 is set for 30 days and my phone has not hung on an incoming call at all (or anywhere else).
    But I dont get lots of calls so what Mbang is saying is still valid.
    There are a couple of things you could try additionally. First if the Nokia Software Updater will let you - try and reinstall the software, also you could also back up your handset and restore the phone back to factory conditions.
    How to do that is here:
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=communicators&​thread.id=11416
    Remember, if you do that - and you have not backed up then you will lose EVERYTHING on your device, pictures messages mail etc.
    If its still doing it after that then it would appear that there is a problem with your E71 and I would then suggest that you take it to the nearest Nokia Repair centre.
    Shunts...
    I will mostly be communicating with a Nokia E72 Zodium Black
    Nokia E72-1 with Vr 051.018.207.04 Software
    If this post helped... Add some kudos!!

  • Iphone 5 hangs while there is miss call.......:(

    my iphone 5 does not response if there is any miss call,i can see the miss call from lock screen but cannot excess more .like cannot unlock or go inside it.So i turned off the phone using power button.and after restarting it works again. how to stop this hanging feature?

    Hi Apple Engineers,
    Problem:
    I am facing this same freez problem on my Iphone 5 (with iOS 7.0.4) in India, Chennai.
    I am using Airtel provider.
    1. I can see the missed call list(s) on the first locked screen
    2. To unlock the screen i tried to Swap "slide to unlock" screen, But it hangs (freez). But swap Bottom to Top to see the short cut app modes (wifi, airoplane mode,bluetooth...etc) it is working fine.
    3. I cant get in to passcode input screen.
    Workaround for this issue: (for iphone users)
    1. "Reset iPhone" OR
    2. "Make a call from your firend mobile to your hanged Iphone and pick the call. Now you wouldn't see the hanging problem"
    Suggessions: (for iphone engineers)
    Might be problem in locking mechanishm in the IOS. Missed call would be not properly handled by the locking mechanisim, Since, while freez, next attend call will resolvd this issue. So locking mechanishm is the problem. Please concentrate these part and put your hard work on this. Don't give workaround to iphone users all the time. workaround is only temp until fix the bug. So work hard and give us the flawless upgrade.

  • Skype keeps hanging on log on

    Alright, so, I've been using Skype fine for the past few months. There was a minor hiccup I got around a few months ago, but other than that it's been smooth sailing. However, today it's just decided to start playing up. It consistently hangs on the login screen, the white dots just infinitely spinning around. I'm using AVG and Windows Firewall, I have Skype whitelisted on AVG (that was the solution the last time this happened), though I also tried straight up disabling my antivirus, which still didn't work, I've already tried renaming the %appdata% profile folder, uninstalling and reinstalling Skype, and clearing all of my internet history on IE. I can sign into my mobile Skype fine, as well as the metro app, but the desktop app consistently does this. I'd prefer not to have to uninstall my Anti Virus, if that's at all possible. I'm on Windows 8.1 (with Classic Shell Version 4.1.0, if that does anything), Skype version 7.6.64.103 and Internet Explorer version 11.0.9600.17842. Please help.

  • Skype constantly hanging up on android samsung gal...

     Hi folks.
    I often use skype to talk to my buddies during evenings. I have a samsung S4 I9505 (vers 5.0.1) while a majority also have samsung phones, with a variation of models. The contact I spend most time talking to has a samsung (unsure of the model, some kind of lesser expensive galaxy, firm 5.0.1). Now to my questions.
    I have been talking to my friend every day, constantly for a month. During the conversations, Skype spontaneusly at least three to four times per hour, regularly. What happens is that suddenly, I stop hearing my friend and there is silence for six to seven seconds and Skype hangs up. I will try to describe in detail:
    We both use Wifi.
    We both have chargers connected while talking or at least I do.
    Skype actually hangs up "call ended", but does not crash, the program is still active. 
    I have no problems with other apps whatsoever.
    Both of our phones aren't tampered with in any way, they have stock firmware and they are automatically updated.
    My other question is that I have noticed that Skype automatically increases volume if it senses a say, tvshow or blender in background, spontaneusly increasing volume of background noise so becomes like really, really loud. Especially with speaker on. Is there a way to switch off this feature? There is a way on PC, was just wondering if I'm missing something.
    I am sorry for starting a potentially redundant topic, been searching around but found nothing that at least fits my description.
    Thanks in advance

    I've run into a similar (but opposite) situation recently.  I upgraded my Mac to 10.10.3 around the same time I upgraded to the latest Skype application (around April 13th).  Now my non-Skype contacts do not appear in any of my custom lists.  My contacts are only in the "All" list.  They still are fine on my iPad, however.
    When I select a contact on my Mac, all of the checkboxes for which custom list the contact should be in are blank (unchecked).  I've reinstalled older versions of Skype for Mac and wiped out the settings.  This did not make a difference which makes me think the list settings stored on the Skype servers have been damaged.
    The iPhone version of Skype doesn't seem to even have access to these custom lists.  Skype keeps getting worse and worse with each update!

  • Io7 on iphone 4s hangs when i receive missed call alert in lock screen?

    io7 on iphone 4s hangs when i receive missed call alert in lock screen?

    my son had this problem.  I went to the apple store and they wiped out and restored the phone..  They said that was all they could do but that I should call our phone carrier and ask them.  I did.  They asked if in the top left side, next to battery power there was a icon of a half moon.  There was. They said to go in to settings and go to "Do not Disturb" and turn it off.  I did.....problem solved!!! Somehow "do not disturb" was turned on and that is what happens if it is!!
    I hope this helps.
