Skype randomly goes offline during calls.

Hi, guys!
My skype randomly goes offline for no reason at all. One minute I'm talking to my friends, next minute I'm not. This is really annoying and I really want it fixed!! In most cases, Skype will go offline at around 12 seconds to 30mins during the call. My internet disconnects but I can still surf the web. Please fix this immediatly because this so so annoying. PLEASE HELP!! THIS IS THE ONLY PLACE I COULD THINK OF!!!

You can uninstall current version of Skype from the control Panel and you can install Special Version.
http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-sse
and disable automatic updating of Skype.
In Skype, Tools >> Options >> Advanced >> Automatic updates >> Click on Turn off automatic updates >> Save Changes.

Skype screen goes white during calls and video calls

Hi,
I'm using Windows 8.1 and recently after the latest skype upgrade I'm getting a white screen during regular calls and during video call while I can talk and hear the other side and on the video call the other side can see me. Important to mention that I see the contact list on the left side.
What should I do in order to fix it? (tried reinstalling skype)
Thanks a lot in advance!

Please, run the DirectX diagnostics tool. Go to Windows Start and in the Run box type dxdiag.exe and press the OK button. This will start the DirectX diagnostics program. Run this diagnostics and save the results to a file. Please, attach this file to your post. Be aware that you will have to zip this file before attaching it here.

My Lumia Icon goes dark during calls and I cannot access the phone pad to unless I hit the power button.

My Lumia Icon goes dark during calls and I cannot access the phone pad to unless I hit the power button. Because of this it makes it tough to put my phone on speaker or type in my v-mail password.

I've been trying to find a common denominator. It happens inconsistently. It never happened before the Denim update. When it does occur, the screen goes black immediately upon answering the call and doesn't come back until the call is ended by the calling party.
I thought it might be the proximity sensor, but when it's working normally I can see the screen go dark when it's at my ear and comes back when I take it away (tried it multiple times). I had Gestures Beta installed. I wondered if that could have an affect so I uninstalled it, but that didn't make any difference. I'm still stumped by the inconsistency. I haven't reset my phone as I didn't really want to go through that...

Skype silently goes offline / How can I get qualif...

After some time of inactivity Skype goes offline without any notification to me (skype status changes from invisible to offline, but I am not logged off).
As a result, I am not getting incomming messages until I notice that Skype is offline and change it back to invisible.
Any suggestion how to stop this unwanted behavior?
Also:
I have contacted 4 times "Text chat support" about this issue.
The first manager suggested that I reinstall Skype and assured me that this will solve the problem.
The second manager suggested that I delete %appdata%\Skype folder, lost my history and assured me that this will solve the problem.
The third manager suggested that I delete %appdata%\Skype\<account>\config.xml file and assured me that this will solve the problem. I objected that I have already tried to delete the whole %appdata%\Skype folder and it did not help. So, how can deleting one file in %appdata%\Skype folder help? However, it seems to be beyond the manager's understanding.
The furth manager suggested that I reinstall Skype again and that I send "/remotelogout" command. He assured me that this will surely help, though did not explain how.
Now the question: how can I get qualified support?
Also:
Is it possible that somebody logs into my account from other place and this switches my Skype to offline?
Should I see some notification if somebody does this?

Hamachi randomly goes offline

I've loaded Hamachi (the latest version, 2.2.0.377) on a friend's Windows 7 computer. It's been on there for a while (a couple of years). I have been logging on recently to do some tech support for him and have noticed that occasionally when I go to connect, Hamachi is offline. I can connect (via TeamViewer) to another computer in his network running Hamachi and then get to this computer as well to get Hamachi back online. The next day I typically have to do the same thing to get back in. The Windows 7 machine is not rebooting; it remains logged on and working fine. I've left the Hamachi chat window on my side open for long periods of time and I can see his machine going offline, online, back offline, etc. at random times. He's not doing it manually. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled Hamachi to no avail. Anyone ever seen anything like this? And have a fix? Thanks,Brian

Hi We get this issue too, it happens when a connection becomes poor such as 3G or Satelite.WE have managed to write a script that fires it back up but really isnt viable long term. This issue makes the product completely useless and there seems to be no response to the issue. We are moving to NeoRouter but are sad that what was a great solution is not viable anymore. Ken

Email randomly goes offline. Can I somehow get it to stay online unless I ask it not to?

Thunderbird question.
Email seems to work fine for me, but... It sometimes may go offline when I am on the web or have put it to sleep. I look for emails and the pop-up says: "You are offline. Would you like to go online...." Not a big deal, but annoying, and also troubling in that I don't know what I may have done to bring this on. It may happen several times in a day, or it may behave itself for a day or two.

Thunderbird goes offline when it sees the network connection go away. Keep that from happening and Thunderbird stays online.
Are you on a laptop that goes to sleep and powers down the network card?
Have you discovered the online/offline icon in the lower left corner of the screen? It looks like 2 monitors. You can check and change states from there.

MG6220 Randomly Goes Offline, Won't Power Down Correctly

Connected wirelessly. Printer goes offline for all PCs in my LAN. Attempting to power down printer with power button results in the printer endlessly displaying message "powering down, please wait" but printer never shuts down. Manually unplugging the printer and turning back brings the printer back online. Did not see any similar threads on this site. Any help appreciated. Thanks

Skype Ads Randomly Playing Sounds During Calls

I've been having random sounds play while in meetings and realized it was due to Skype ads on the homescreen. The sounds are can be music or some random ad-voice. I've managed to make it stop temporarily by clicking "Home" button. However, this nusance persistantly occurs. This is extremely annoying and embarassing as a majority of my Skype calls are business related. I've read several existing threads (most archived) and nothing has provided any real help in resolving this. I'd like to know if Other Skype Users are encountering this irritating issue, and/orHow do i prevent sounds eminanting from Skype ads randomly playing at will?? This is pretty awful UX Skype folks. ::

Hi and welcome to the Skype Community,
Sorry to hear about the Skype ad playing audio by itself. Can you share a screenshot of the ad which would help us identifying the actualy ad? Do you see the ad on top of the conversation window or in the Skype Home screen that is shown when you don't have a conversation opened?
Finally can you let us know which country you are located in? I dont know what ad it was - it has two guys in the image. I never pay attention to skype ads. The ad sounds play from both the homescreen and the in call screens. For me it's happening more often from ads on the homescreen. When I'm not on a call the sound randomly plays. When i realize its from the homescreen, i click the homescreen button and the ad sound stops and refreshes so I really have no idea what ad this is. SUGGESTION: What makes more sense to me is providing users with an option to permanenly turn off ad sounds for ALL ads. Me personally: I don't want to keep coming here to these forums to complain about different ads making different sounds - further deeping this awful UX experience. One universal - turn ad sounds off solution seems the most logical. It be easier for folks there to dev and include that option rather troubleshooting these types of issues on a per-ad basis. I'm located in the US.

Skype sound cuts / drops during call.

I've been having this problem for some time now, and I assumed it was due to problems on behalf of my ISP, but recently I tried troubleshooting it and came to the conclusion that it must be something on my end.
On skype, me and some friends have a group we use to chat with eachother and host group calls while we play, or just to chat. Lately, I've been having some issues where the sound cuts off ( they can't hear me and I can't hear them ) and all I hear is static noise. Rarely, the call even drops on my end, and I hear the redial tone. This happens with different "call hosts" within the group. Not sure if that's the correct term, but i'm refering to whoever clicks the "make call" button first, and if he quits, the call drops for everyone.
I've tested joining the same call with another laptop, also using wi-fi, in the same room, and the call was stable. The only difference was that it was a Macbook, while I'm using a windows laptop.
Speedtest.net game me an acceptable result. I tried pinging google trough command line to see if my connection had spikes, but nothing out of the ordinary showed up. Skype is updated, and I scanned for both virus and mal/adware using Microsoft Security Essentials and Malwarebytes' Antimalware, respectively. After some search on the forums, I tried disabling "Use port 80 and 443 for additional incoming connections", and "Enable uPnP" on Skype's connection settings. Other than that, my firewall is the default Windows Firewall, and everything on windows is up to date. Another thing I saw mentioned was that having Hamachi could cause some problems, but I don't have it installed anymore. I do have teamviewer though, but I only start the program when needed. I also checked the call technical info, but it's hard to see the fields because these cuts usually last about 5 seconds. However I noticed that during a cut, some changes happen:
-Packet loss appears to stay at 0% sometimes, while other times the numbers change.-Roundtrip goes up sometimes, and other times it doesn't-NBM audio goes down gradually to 1000
-SessionIn appears to change to Direct_TCP for some soments
-Problems show "SEND_GAP" and "RECV_GAP" I don't really know what to do anymore to try and fix this, so any help would be appreciated.
Additonal info:
Windows 7
Antivirus: MSE
Firewall: Windows
Skype ver. 7.6.0.103
I managed to get a couple of screenshots of the call technical info. The two on the left show how it's like during cuts, and the one on the right is when it's working normally. I may also add that these cuts happen every 5 minutes or so.
#edit : The drops were seeming kinda regular, so I tried starting a stopwatch on my phone, and I was right. It drops every 2 minutes. This is really weird.

For the longest time I did not run windows updates (+/- 1 year). Last night I ran windows updates and now my Skype is cutting out every few minutes. It is driving me nuts. I have a feeling that it is an update from Windows that has messed up the works.

Random Keypad Tone During Calls

Over the last month or two I have noticed that while making or recievong calls at random points during the call I will hear a long loud tone very reminiscent of what the keypad sounds like, or when someone accidently hits a key on a regular phone during a conversation. I do not have the minute timer selected so I don't think it is from that. I am at a loss as to what it could be. Does anyone have any ideas or how I can fix it its highly annoying. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

No as I specified in my original post the minute alert is shut off. Also the touchscreen is black and inert while on the phone so I don't think its my cheek. I also make sure not to touch any of the physical buttons on the phone. I may take it into a verizon store and see what they can do since I have been having other issues especially since the recent software update. Thanks for all of your replies though.

Loud, Random White Noise during call

Hello all
When I am making a video call with someone, an extremely loud sound of white noise occurs during the call.
It occurs on my side only, and the other person cannot hear the sound. It does not matter if I initiated the call or not. It also happens at random times and with or without video. Just all of a sudden, I will get an extremely loud noise...like television static.
I am at my wits' end because this has been happening for the past 2 weeks for every call I make.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I am struggling with this issue for quite a while now, I was wondering whether there is any solution as of now. I have seen this problem with several notebooks (One Lenovo, one Dell, one MacBook Pro, two Vaio's). It's been an issue under MacOS, Windows and Linux alike. The only (very temporary) fix is muting my machine and resetting. Is there any solution as of yet? Is there anything I can do besides use an earpiece? I'd like to be able to use my notebook mic and speakers , since that's what they were designed for. (Other VoIP software works without the white noise issues, so I am pretty sure it's not a hardware problem)

Virtual SBS2011 goes offline during backup

Hello Everybody
We have a virtual SBS2011 on a 2012 R2 host.
Everytime the backup runs it takes the SBS2011 offline so disconnects everybodies Outlook and folder re-directions.
Other VM's are all OK it's just the SBS2011. When I try to upgrade the Host components it just says they are up to date and doesn't give me the option to upgrade or repair.
Help please?
Thanks
Daren

What state does the VM go into during the backup? Saved?

Nokia N8 screen going OFF during call in bright su...

Hello Friends,
My N8 screen is going black whenever I am making calls in the bright sunlight. So I cannot view the dialler at all and unable to end the calls. This problem really annoys me a lot. Anyone expereinces this problems. Please help me in this regard.
thank you very much,
Shijo

Ja. it has funny tendencies. The proximity sensor turns the screen off when you bring the phone close to your ear then when you remove it could take a couple of seconds for it to come back on.
I did notice it's a bit worse when in bright sunny conditions. If the key pad was locked when you received the call it can also cause make that lag a little longer

Mailbox randomly goes OFFLINE

Have 4 email accounts. A couple weeks ago they started to randomly go to Account Offline. I can click to go account online and next time it checks for mail the email account will go online. However another email account may go offline. My wife's iMac started doing this about the same time. I'm running OS 10.9.5 on a one year old iMAC. We are on Century Link with embarqmail.com address. Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks

Yup, check with your ISP to see if you have connection issues.
