Skype on Microsoft Lumia 535 freezes and stutters

Hello dear Microsoft, I am really happy with my Microsoft Lumia 535. Great phone, great price. Skype however (which is the prime application) really behaves bad though.It freezes and stutters all the time.For example, to open the app it takes very long. To see my recent contacts takes another 30 seconds or so. To type a message to a contact takes another 30 seconds and while typing it freezes and stutters again.The performance sucks, in short.Are we expecting an update soon? This is a really bad situation, where skype on other platforms runs like a charm, but on MS's own mobile platform, just sucks.... Hope this gets resolved very, very soon! Regards, Sijmen Koffeman

Hi, After I used the Windows Phone Recovery Tool (link:http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/how-to/wp8/phones-and-hardware/recover-my-phone) and restored my phone, Skype is running without any problems.Be advised that you should make a backup of your data and settings if you use that tool. Good luck, Si.

  • Issue in usability of Microsoft lumia 535 - Behavior of Key '- ' , on bottom right corner of home screen, is ambiguous.

    Hi All,
    I am new to this forum. And I may have incorrectly raised my concern here - over the usability aspect 'Microsoft lumia 535' mobile phone. Please help - to forward my concern to the correct forum in that case.
    I faced issue in using the key '->' on bottom right corner of phone's home screen (scroll down on the home screen to use the key). Clicking the key '->' should ideally take to the screen to it's right where all the applications are listed. As per known
    behavior of earlier phones of the lumia series like 630,525 etc.
    However, the behavior is ambiguous, sometimes the click on '->' takes to its right screen, and sometimes it refreshes the home screen. And sometimes there is no impact of the click. The behavior is thus improper and provides bad experience in using it.
    Earlier I thought this defect is specific to the phone I purchased, but further I analyzed other 'Microsoft lumia 535' - and the same issue was observed in all the other pieces of lumia 535.
    Please let me know, if it is issue and is already known, or if the behavior is intentional then what is the reason for the same?

  • IMovie 4 freezing and stuttering

    Here's my new thread to my old problem:
    Installed new OX 10.3.9 bundled with iMovie 4 and QT 7. iMovie 4 does not work at all, even for simple video projects -- freezes and stutters and impossible to use. Problem is not related to number of audio clips -- adding just one audio clip greatly exacerbates the problem. Have added RAM and have plenty of available GB. Tried changing default H.264 setting within Quicktime (as suggested in QT thread). Still no improvement. It's been suggested that my system is inadequate, although per system reqs, mine should do. It's also been suggested that iMovie 4 and QT 7 are a troubled couple and just don't get along, but have not found a way to downgrade to QT 6. (The downgrader suggested only works for 7.0.1 or something; I have 7.1.3.)
    My question now is: can I install a new version of iMovie that has the right version of Quicktime? What about iLife 5, which my system supports, at least for iMovie, which comes with QT 6.5.2? Will it overwrite my newer QT?
    I know iMovie 2 is stable, and I could go back to it, but it's such a pain to switch operating systems, and that version is relatively primitive, so I'm really hoping to stabilize my new system. Then, I'll leave it alone!
    Thanks for any advice ...

    Hi
    I think Sue "SDIllini" use to know how and where to find it. Try the search
    function in this forum.
    My main advice is: Never change anything during a movie project. One never
    knows what will happen and what new buggs that are introduced.
    I have on my "reliabe" Mac: Mac OS X.3.9 + QT 6.5.2 + iMovie 5.0.2

  • Is Microsoft Lumia 535 worth it?

    Hi I'm from Philippines and I'm planning to buy a Lumia 535 next month... but I'm worried because almost all of the reviews said that it has touch issues and I'm afraid that When I buy I will also get a defective Unit with touch issues too. This is my first Lumia Phone that I'm going to buy and It's the only thing I can afford right now So is it really worth it? Does the touch issues really get fix after the update? please help.. I'm starting to love Lumia phones and I'm starting that love by buying my first Lumia phone called Lumia 535

    Thanks for all the replies
    Now I'm very determined and confident to buy a Lumia 535 next month.. thanks to all of you

  • Suddenly freezes and stutters

    My movie project is now 32 minutes long and when doing a playback of the clips at the end of the project they freeze and stutter. The clips at the beginning are fine.
    I have deleted the prefs file, restarted, put the playback on standard. But no help. Can anyone help?
    OS 10.5.8
    iMovie HD 6.03
    2GHz Intel Core Duo
    1,5GB RAM
    26,62 GB free on Hard Disk

    If the problem is not enough storage space, then increasing your space is what you need to do, as Catspaw and Karsten have suggested.
    My guess is that the stuttering will not carry over to your final burned DVD. But but it is pesky for editing playback. Toggling back and forth between small and full screen sometimes can help you through the stuttering.
    For the heck of it, you might try opening a new blank iMovie project, and then opening your current project so that the windows of the two projects display side by side. Then drag or copy-paste the offending clips from your current project into the new project. They may not stutter there, in which case you can edit them in the new project and then drag or copy-paste them back into your current project.

  • Graphics Freezing and Stuttering

    I have a 2012 6-core MacPro with aftermarket AMD 7950 Graphics Card and a late 2013 MacBook Pro Retina with Intel Iris Pro Graphics (5200).
    Since the update to Yosemite, graphics performance has been compromised severely.
    When attempting to draw in Photoshop on both machines I get input lag from my stylus. When using Safari, it freezes constantly but recovers in a couple of seconds, with flash videos on YouTube appearing as slide shows until everything calms down. When interacting with anything else, there is a slight input lag, with graphics freezing for a split second before anything happens.
    Last night, however, was the absolute final straw on my MacPro.
    I was on a Skype video call with a client on my secondary monitor and running Photoshop on my Primary monitor. Input lag made it near impossible to draw smoothly. Opening Safari to look at a video the client sent me, the entire computer froze. However he could still see me on camera and I could still talk to him, and I could hear the video playing. I started mashing keyboard commands in panic and was clicking everywhere on screen. A minute later all my inputs happened at the same time for a couple seconds, followed by another minute of frozen display. Then 5 seconds unfrozen, then minute freeze, then 5 seconds unfrozen - rinse and repeat.
    I got so frustrated I actually switched to a Microsoft Windows computer I use for video gaming. That computer is substantially less powerful than both my Macintoshes, yet it handled the same load with ease.
    What can I do to fix this? I would actually like to get some work done without ripping my hair out.
    Thanks
    -Ben Anderson

    Bump
    after several days with that issue, yesterday i've tried to change back the graphic card to that which comes with my mac. In my case it was a HD5870.
    Now everything works fine.... no freezes again.
    It seems, that i can do now work normally, like the time before i've installed yosemite.
    maybe thit saves my mac to get thrown out of the window
    Best regards

  • Adding Transitions freezes and stutters playback in Preview.

    I'm posting this as a new issue. Since I've narrowed down my "stuttering/freezing on playback" problem while in Preview/Edit mode.
    This begins to happen as SOON as I add a transition. Whether I add it automatically, or manually.
    The clips play fine without transitions in the project and the Event window. These are clips from a Kodak Zi6, I believe shot HD at 60fps, and I'm using NTSC 30fps to create the project. When I "get info" on my clips, the codecs listed are H.264 and AAC, dimensions 1280x720.
    When the Movie Project is exported & viewed in QuickTime, it plays smoothly.
    Any ideas are greatly appreciated, as I'd like to preview my work as I go!
    This movie is LESS than one minute long!

    UPDATE - A workaround?
    after what you posted about converting the file to the apple codec AIC - it occurred to me to try this.
    Put a clip in the project browser - it starts stuttering - with or without transitions.
    click on clip and select "clip adjustments". Now when you need to run slow mo you click the "convert clip" button. Do this even though you don't need to slomo the clip and it will come up with "converting whole clip" - this can take a while if the clip/event the clip is from is quite long. Hang in there. Click done. ......and......
    all works perfectly.
    It seems like the converter converts the whole event because if you now choose other clips from the event they too work with no problems! So looks like... before you start run the conversion on a clip from all the events you are about to use and then you can work normally...
    I've run a test project and now transistions/ green screen/ PiP all work smooth. IS this the workaround we needed?
    Do you know if the convertion to AiC changes size or quality? I cant tell at the moment. But it works! (well so far.....)
    Please let me know if this works for you too - if so it might be worth starting another thread as so many people are having the stutter problem and i've not seen a workaround yet that's easy to do.
    Anyone?
    Apple - we should not need to do this!

  • Lumia 720 freezes and most of the times vibrates o...

    Hi,
    i bought lumia 720 on 7-7-2013, after 2 days while using some apps, the screen freezes, everytime i have to do a reset. One more issue is the screen keeps moving on its own with vibration, it goes to bing page and then goes to home page, this happens continuosly, i have to hold the phone still for a while & then it stops, i called nokia cust care and then told me to submit in Bangalore Nokia care center. Apart from doing a hard reset is there any other troubleshooting, im a technical person too but unfortunately i cannot open this phone. Is there any other way to fix this issue. Im very much afraid of using heavy apps as the phones freezes......

  • Lumia 720 freezes and hangs

    I have Nokia Lumia 720. I brought it 5 months ago march'14. It was working well for first 3-4 months but now it hangs a lot.
    I even informed NokiaCare on twitter. They told me to restart, soft reset, hard reset, and even recovery via Nokia software tool. But it still keeps on hanging.
    Didn't expected this. Please help!!
    Give solution asap.
    Thanks.

    May be the cause, because this might be a rather old SIM. SIMs do fail after a certain amount of time. Furthermore, all Micro-SIMs are USIM. Windows Phone relies on a USIM heavily. A normal SIM can be a USIM or not. Micro-SIM makes that sure.
    Therefore, please, ask your operator for a Micro-SIM are report back in any case: pass or failure.

  • Video freezing and stuttering watching a film

    Thought i would treat myself and download heroes season three from itunes, pressed play and was treated to a image that stop froze and jumped. my comp has been updated to 10.4.11 and i'm running quicktime 7.6 pro. Looked at some of the threads and i don't seem to be running any components listed as messing with qt. What should i see in the qt components? and should i erase any of the others.
    thanx mona

    Are they HD quality? If so you have nowhere near the power in that iBook to play them, not even close. SD should play OK, as they do say a G4 1 Ghz or more.

  • Microsoft Lumia 535 questions

    I havent had a new phone for about 10 years so I am way out of it.
    can I put music on to the phone directly from my pc like you use to be able to do?
    Is cortana on the phone?
    On average how long does the battery last?
    Thank you

    Yes, you can drag and drop from PC to handset, or rather to the microSD card you need to obtain and put in the phone, as you won't fit much on the phone's built-in memory of 8GB, of which half is already taken up by the OS and other required software.
    Cortana is currently available in the following countries/regions: Australia, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Italy, Spain, United Kingdom, United States. For info about how to get an early preview version of Cortana in your locale, see Cortana alpha.
    How long is a piece of string ? Battery life will depend on your usage and the quality of network coverage in your area. In general you should be able to get at least a full day's worth of battery life.

  • Lumia 720 freezes and the camera not opening

    I had this problem today my camera is not opening any app related to camera is not working its a pity that this awesome device too has flaws ....Somebody with same problem?

    Apologies if this is not the correct way to get in on a conversation but I cannot find a way to start a question.
    I have a similar problem when I try to take a picture by tapping the screen and it appears the picture has been taken but the phone goes back to the home screen. When I check the camera roll the picture is sometimes there but appears to be blank at  the bottom so you can only see a partial picture. I have tried a soft reset. I do not think it's hardware as smart shoot works. This problem only occurs on the back facing camera. The front camera shoots pictures by touching the screen and saving in full. This started happening on the 16 July after I saw a message saying my update was successful even though I didn't update.....
    Just noticed when I copy/paste to my PC, the numbnail shows the picture in full but when opened in full it show only the top part..... Really confused! Hopefully the attached file will show what I mean when opened not viewed as a thumbnail...
    Any ideas apart from hard reset..? Thanks in advance.

  • At the start of a song, iTunes freezes and it stutters

    With the new install of iTunes on Windows XP, it consumes more than 97% of CPU at the start of a song with the result that the song plays like as if some one is stuttering the song and I hate it. It was never an issue with the earlier version of iTunes. The newer version also consumes 17-20% of CPU to play a song and this was not the case either earlier.
    Is there a workaround to this? I have an IBM T41 laptop. Nothing has changed on my laptop except that I have a newer version of iTunes.
    Your help or thoughtful ideas are appreciated except the suggestion to buy a newer and faster laptop or switch to Mac OS.

    I had this problem with the freezing and stuttering. I solved this by unchecking 'crossfade playback' in edit/preferences/playback. It means you have a pause between songs during playback, but thats like most CD players anyway.
    Hope this helps you.
