Skype End Call buttons fails, logging fixes?

So, I was originally using Skype, wanted to call my friend today.
I tried to call him, only for him to im me saying he couldn't chat. I tried to end the call.....
Only for the call not to end, ever. Alt and page down, Right click and end call, tab and spam enter over end call button, nothing worked!
So, i reloaded skype after ending skype exe by taskmanage.. Same issue occurs with another friend. It repeats, multiple times. The only time it stops, is after i restart my computer, and only for 10 seconds.
So, I get the logging tool, run it to try and track the source of the issues, run skype, and try to call a friend.....
I was able to succesfully end the call that time, and other times after that.
Question: Why? Was it because the logger fixed a skype registry or something? or was it because of something else entirely? I would show logs, but it would probably show nothing out of the ordinary!

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.

I am using an iPhone 4 16GB Factory Unlocked.
My end call button has suddenly stopped working. The icons at the bottom of the screen are also accessed randomly.
i have tried everything recomended.
Updated to the iOS to the latest version 4.3.5. Did a complete reset of the set. rebooted the set several times. But so far nothing seems to work.
Any help would be highly appreciated.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are...
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup... Restore as New...
If you have tried all these and are still having problems, make an appointment at your nearest Apple Store.

Hi dave2370,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPhone. The red End Call button should still be working.
For initial troubleshooting, I would suggest restarting and resetting your iPhone, and also updating it to the latest version of the iOS software, which is iOS 6.1.4.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
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.

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Create a Skype Video Call button on the desktop in Snow Leopard

Hi There,
I'm having trouble working out how to create a script that will allow my 70+ year old mother in law make a video call in Skype from a button on the desktop.
I found a discussion from 2007 on the forums but the steps don't seem to apply to the Snow Leopard version of Automator.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.
Cheers

OK, have done some digging around and have come up with an Automator workflow that will not only start a video chat, but will speak to my mother in law so that during pauses (like when Skype starts up) she knows what's going on.
There is practically no info online about how to do this so these instructions are for my reference just incase I forget - but others may find it useful.
It looks like a lot of work but in reality it only took me 5mins to put together (I promise) and just makes it easier for people who have limited computer experience to call you.
This works in both Leopard and Snow Leopard and may work in older versions too.
1. Open Automator
Open Automator at: /Applications/Automator
The Automator starting point window will appear
If you're using Leopard, choose "Custom" and and click the "Choose" button in the bottom right
If you're using Snow Leopard, choose "Workflow" and click the "Choose" button in the bottom right
Now you will have a blank workflow document open
2. Create the Automator workflow
In the Workflow document window, ensure the "Library" icon in the first list on the far left is selected so all variables are available
Just above the lists you'll see a little search box, type "hide" into it
The list will now show the "Hide All Applications" variable
Click and drag the variable from the list and drop it into the main workflow section on the right
Type "launch" into the search box and drag the "Launch Application" variable onto the workflow so it is under "Hide All Applications"
Select "Skype" from the application drop-down menu
Type "get text" into the search box and drag "Get Specified Text" into the workflow so it's under "Launch Application"
Type "Now starting Skype, please wait a few moments." into the text box
Type "speak" in the search box and drag "Speak Text" into the workflow under "Get Specified Text"
Leave the voice on the default text of "Alex" - he's the easiest to understand bar far
Type "pause" into the search box and drag "Pause" into the workflow under "Speak Text"
Set it for 5 seconds. This will allow Skype time to sign-in. Depending on your connection speed, you may need to make it longer
Shift click on the previous "Get Specified Text" & "Speak Text" variables in the workflow area
Both should now have blue borders around them
Hold down the option key and drag both items to duplicate them and drop them under the "Pause" variable
Now you should have a copy of the "Get Specified Text" & "Speak Text" variables under the "Pause" variable
If not, just manually add both items again by searching and dragging the variables into the workflow pane one by one as per above
Replace the text in the new "Get Specified Text" box to: "Now checking to see if <name> is online"
Where <name> is the person you would like to contact and removing the - I just used the first name
Option drag the previous "Pause" variable above and drag it so it's under the last "Speak Text" variable
Leave it at 5 seconds. Again, you may need to allow more time depending on your connection speed
Type "run applescript" into the search box and drag "Run Applescript" so it's under the last "Pause" variable
Now you should have an AppleScript window that will show some placeholder AppleScript
3. Inserting the AppleScript
Select and delete the placeholder AppleScript
Copy the following script and paste it into the AppleScript box
SkypeCall("<skypeUserName>")
on SkypeCall(login)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to " "
tell application "Skype"
set foo to send command "GET USER " & login & " ONLINESTATUS" script name "MyScript"
set UserStatus to my GetPart(foo, 4, " ")
if UserStatus is "ONLINE" then
say "<skypeUserName> is online, calling her now."
send command "CALL " & login script name "MyScript"
else
say "<skypeUserName> is not online at the moment. Maybe try again later."
end if
end tell
end SkypeCall
on GetPart(s, p, d)
set theList to every text item of s
return (item p of theList)
end GetPart
4. Insert the Skype username of the person you would like to call into the script
In the AppleScript box, locate ("<skypeUserName>") on the first line
Change <skypeUserName> to the username of the person you would like to call removing the
e.g. if the Skype username is johnbrown2, the first line of the script should look like:
SkypeCall("johnbrown2")
Do this in the two other places further down the script - remember to remove the when doing so
These other two ares in the script tell the caller if the person is online or not
5. Making the workflow a button on the desktop
In Automator, choose >File >Save As
Give your workflow a name like "Call John"
Select "Application" from the "File Format" drop-down list
Save it to your desktop
NOTE: If you need to edit the workflow, you'll have to open it from Automater using >File >Open as double clicking it from the desktop will now run the workflow and call the person.
6. Turning on Speech
Because the older generation expect this to work like a telephone (and work instantly), I turned on Speech so the script tells them what is going on during the pauses in the script.
Go to "System Preferences" from the Apple menu top left
Click the "Speech" icon
Click the "Speech Recognition" tab/button at the top if it isn't already selected
Click the "On" radio button
If this is the first time using Speech, you'll get a window asking you to enable access for assistive devices
There should be a button to take you to the appropriate preference pane
If not, just go to the "Universal Access" pane in System Preferences
Once there (either way) check the "Enable access for assistive devices" box bottom left
Back in the "Speech" preference pane", under the On/Off radio buttons, click the "Commands" tab/button
Turn off all the check boxes except "Application Specific Items"
Close System Preferences
NOTE: Obviously if you use text to speech normally, leave these last settings alone and just ensure "Application Specific Items" is on (It's on by default normally).
7. Hiding the Speech Microphone icon
If you've done everything correctly, you will now have a big round microphone icon showing that can't be hidden
I dragged mine to the bottom left corner and then further so all you can see is a little bit of the top right corner
If anyone has a better way of disabling or hiding this big icon, sing out!
8. Running the workflow and making a call
Now double click your icon and the workflow will run. The script will check to see if the Skype user is online, if they're not, the script will tell them and stop running.
If they are online, the worflow will start a video chat as long as you have "Start my video automatically" selected in your Skype preferences under "Video"
Special thanks to SIMO HUOPIO ESPOO in Finland for the script I found on his blog here: http://huopio.fi/simo/blog/2009/03/learnin...ling-skype.html
If you don't want the workflow to talk, don't turn on Speech in steps 6 & 7...

The end call button doesn't t work some time on E5

DOES ANYBODY HAD THAT PROBLEM.

ya it usually happens whenever you want to end the call and press end button it disconnects the call but it still shows that the call is still connected i think Nokia must release Nokia E5-00 firmware update very soon!

Phone App's "End Call" button sometimes hangs and won't press!

Ever since the 1.4 update, about 1/4 of the time, when I'm trying to end a call, the screen does not react to my finger/button press and it won't end the call! I've also found a few times that it won't press a button (e.g. #1) on a call as well.
This is a CRITICAL problem.

Hello all;
I haven't experienced this myself, however are you able to flick the phone card off the screen with no delay? Does this happen when receiving a call while you're doing something else (tweeting, playing a game, etc)? Does it happen on outgoing calls as well? How about while using a headset (wired or Bluetooth) or speakerphone? Also, so far on this thread, I only see Sprint Pre's with this issue. Any Verizon Pre Plus users see this? How about on a Pixi (either flavor)?
Need some more information for troubleshooting, may also be beneficial to call technical support from a landline phone.
Hope this helps,
TreoAide
I can answer a few of these but not all:
-It occurs even when it is the only app open (frequently).
-It occurs on incoming calls, outgoing calls, and voicemail calls.
-It occurs while using the phone's earpeice, speakerphone, and while using a headset (plugin, not bluetooth, I don't own a bluetooth unit).
-Essentially, I haven't ended a call *without* this 4-6 second delay a single time since before webOS 1.4.0, and it occurs under a wide range of usage conditions.

Hi fannynordmark,
Thank you for your question. I understand that the page jumps when you scroll in version 30. Please first update to the latest version, 31 if you have continued issues there are scroll features in the about:config page you can tweak the number of lines that move when you scroll, but this should not be necessary.

What does Call ended and Call ended - call dropped...

If a call is marked as "Call ended" does this guarantee the other person ended the call, or can it also mean the call disconnected or was dropped?
Was talking with someone and at one point the "Call ended - call dropped". Few other times it was just marked as "Call ended", they have bad internet. So is it possible the "Call ended" means the call was dropped due to internet or were they for definite hanging up?
Thanks

Hi WuTom,
From experience, it depends on the platform which you are using. In my case, my boyfriend is using Skype for iPhone and I am using Skype for Mac. Sometimes I find that the "Call ended - Call dropped" is the result of bad internet on my or his part. "Call Ended" on its own could mean one of two things, among others:
1. A person accidentally touches the red end call button; or
2. Skype crashes unexpectedly (either because of internet as you said or other issues such as flat battery)
This is just from my personal experience, but I do hope it clears some stuff up for you.

E61i - can't end call

I have an E61i and nothing happens when I press the end call button now. I can't hang up on calls anymore without going to the options menu.
I have the latest version of the firmware. I have a memory card but I removed it and restarted with no effect. I used to be able to just turn my phone off and on and the problem would go away. Now it won't go away.
Any suggestions

If your phone warranty is still valid - get it repaired. But I suppose this is not the case... So the only thing I can think of is Hard Reset - dial *#7370# and confirm. But be aware that this will format the device - all data on the phone memory including all applications will be erased.

Sudden "end call" during a call

It regularly happens so that during an answered phone call,
there is a sudden beep (short slighly annoying signal) and
call ends right afterwards.
If this is due to screen sensitivity - is there a possibility to change
the screen sensitivity settings or change the way how the "end call"
button work (not by simply pressing, but, say, by some sliding gesture)
p.s. just swapped from iOS to android

Hi ruslanskalvans,
Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
When you are on a call, does the screen stay on the whole time?
As Uliwooly stated it could be the proximity sensor, you may want to try a diagnostics test.
Menu > Settings > About phone > Diagnostics > Proximity sensor.
Let us know.

Torch 9860 does not disconnect after ending call

Hi,
I have been having this peculiar problem with my blackberry torch 9860 smartphone for the past 1 week. After finishing a voicecall, in many situations the phone does not disconnect even if I press the end call button repeatedly. It just seems to "hang" for 30-40 seconds and then disconnect. Sometimes it dosconnects only if the person at the other end hangs up.
Kindly help out in solving this issue
