Skype sending calls on its own

Starting with my change from a note 2 to a note 4, Skype has begun randomly sending calls to my contacts. When I caught it doing this there was a faint buzz/ring much quieter than normal ringing and more the volume of things such as the keyboard tap noise.
The call attempts last about as long as a normal call attempt but then are marked as failed.
It does not bring up the 'call' screen it's all entirely in the background and I only know it attempted a call afterwards when it shows a 'call failed' message on that person's text history.
Since I only use Skype for texting is there a way to disable calling? Or any ideas what's causing it to attempt to call people?
I have reinstalled the app, changed my password, and disabled non-contact calling and messaging already.
Any help would be appreciated as the random calls are really irking my friends. I know it's nit me bumping the button during messaging because that brings up the call screen as normal.

I too have experienced this. It is downright scary. It happened while I was on another call using the actual phone. The call ended screen came up and the log showed call failed.

  • How can I prevent my iPhone from making calls on its own?

    I often put my iPhone in my pocket. Sometimes I then discover that it is making calls on its own.
    How can I prevent this?
    Thanks.

    Turn on auto lock. I have never had my iPhone once do anything without me doing it.

  • Last night, I saw my iPhone on the table in front of me and twice it made phone calls on its own.  I just watched it make the outgoing call as it sat in front of me.  Should I think that it has a virus? What should I do about it?

    Also, it's been a little quirky lately: slow to respond to key pad touching and making it impossible to delete Apps?
    Should I try wiping it and restoring it to factory settings?
    Thank you.

    It isn't a virus.
    I would try the Restore from backup first and if that does not help try a Restore as a new iPhone.

  • My phone made an outgoing call on its own anyone else with this issue?

    My iphone made an outgoing call somehow on its own which is impossible since i have password protected and my phone was on me at the time. There was no way i pocket dialed or someone else called because it was in my hand. Doesn't make sense! Has this happend to anyone else?

    Odd problem, but there are all kinds of problems with the wall chargers. If you want a new one, make an appointment with your local Genius Bar at the apple store, bring in your misfunctioning one, and they will swap it out for a new one. They do this routinely for charging bricks, sync cords, and headphones.

  • Creating Idoc and sending it to its own...

    Hello All,
    The functional design specified that an inbound function module needs to be created to process a custom IDOC, let's say ZMMDLRTL, and using the data from the segments from this basic type ZMMDLRTL, I need to create another IDOC of basic type PORDCR101 to create a PO. This PO IDOC would then have to be posted to the same system where the inbound function module that would process the ZMMDLRTL IDOC. So this is just like creating an IDOC and sending it to yourself right?
    I used the function module MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE to create the PORDCR101 Idoc and sends it to itself. But now I am getting an error status 20, which is "Receive of IDOC is its own logical system". I just need some inputs on this.
    Thanks,
    Kristine

    Hi!
    In two words - to avoid this error you have to send PORDCR101 to another logical system pointing to the same client and make corresponding settings in distribution model (as you use MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE).
    Proceed as follows:
    1. Create a "dummy" logical system name, say LOGSYSD. This dummy logical system will serve as the receiver system in the distribution model.
    2. Using SM59 create RFC-destination LOGSYSD for the dummy logical system. The RFC-destination addresses the same client.
    3. Create a distribution view in BD64 with your "real" logical system for client as the sender and LOGSYSD as the receiver for your message type.
    4. Generate partner profiles for distribution model using BD82.
    5. Using WE20 create inbound parameters for your message type for <b>"real"</b> logical system.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards,
    Maxim.

  • E50 - Calling on its own...

    Hi,
    I have a problem with a E50 that makes its own calls.
    The last incident was that user left it at his desk, phone locked and while he was away the phone had made a "ghost" call to someone in the directory. This has happened before as well while carrying the phone in the pocket etc. The person who is called is always the same it seems.
    Has anyone else experienced this? And is there a solution?
    Phone is updated with latest FW...

    then, you might want to go to the nearest nokia care point...

  • Mail automatically sending attachments - ON ITS OWN!

    So, When I write an email and send an attachment, everything is fine. Then, when I send the next email, with NO attachment, email sometimes takes the last attachment I sent and sends it. It ONLY does this AFTER I hit the "send" button, so.... I have no way of telling if THIS time is going to be the time that mail automatically sends an attachment.
    This has been very embarrassing because two times today clients of mine have received zips of files, including source files, that belong to ANOTHER CLIENT! Imagine being afraid to send an email because you are not sure if mail is going to attach a random attachment!!
    Please help! --> if it is of any help, when I drag an attachment to my mail icon in the dock, it opens two new email messages, but might be unrelated. Please help me understand what is going on!
    -i

    Please help me understand what is going on!
    What, you want wisdom as well as solutions? Not that I have either to offer, only a couple of suggestions.
    If you are using that second new mail message that opens, don't- delete it and start a real new one. I would also suggest not dragging a file to the Mail icon as there are known issues with this, and you might be experiencing a strange side effect. Before clicking send, disconnect from the network. Your outgoing message will land up in the Outbox where you can check it and if necessary remove any attachments. When you reconnect the message will go.

  • IPhone 4 shuts down on its own all the time. Sometimes restarts without ability to make calls, receive emails, and the wrong time.  Only a restore fixes it.  What can I try?

    So my iPhone had a broken screen and back for a while, which may have something to do with this.  I mean like missing peices.  I realize this leads to corrosion and I may have a broken iPhone but this is a really strange problem.  It's always shutting off on its own, sometimes in my pocket while locked and sometimes randomly while in use.   For example the other day this started happening everytime I started safari.  This happens all the time, I usually just restart it and it works for a while.   Sometimes after shutting off a few times in a row, after restarting it will show the wrong time, screws up phone calls and says that it cannot locate the gmail server, or something to that extent (won't load emails).   The phone calls are weird, I can't receive any.   Any calls that are made from the phone, go through on the other side and ring for them, but won't ring or make a connection on my side, also I can't end the call when this happens, it responds to me pressing end by fading the screen to that graytone color that it does before ending usually but stays on that screen whenever you go back to it, only disappearing after reseting.  Texts work, not in iMessage, and internet seems to work.   The only thing that fixes this condition is a restore. The iphone has been turning itself off over the last 3 months and its been getting progressively worse.  Recently its been pretty bad, and then the phone started to do all that weird stuff I've been talking about.  That started about 3 weeks ago and has happened 4 times, the last two times relatively close together.   This is really annoying and I can't afford to replace it.   Do I have to live with it?   What can I try?  Should I maybe replace the battery?  I took the panel off to look at it and the plastic around it was pitted possibly from being really hot.

    Please don't respond with useless comments.  I've already addressed the fact that my screen was broken a few months ago.  My phone may or may not be broken beyond repair either way, as I said before I can't afford a new phone.  It's a strange problem because from what I can tell no one else has posted the same problem anywhere I can find.  Don't be a dickhole.

  • Dnsmasq sends out its own ip as dns-server dhcp option

    Hi,
    i have a gateway / dns server on 192.168.1.1
    I have a dhcp server on 192.168.1.2 (dnsmasq)
    I configured dnsmasq to look into /etc/resolv.conf (well, that's actually default behavior) and use that to specify dns server when replying to client dhcp requests.
    However, it sends out its own ip instead, which is *not cool*.

    1 yes, the dhcp server who's scope is full will not do a dhcp
    'offer'
    2 dhcp that answers fastest with a 'offer' will win. A delay is configurable (but changes nothing
    about the root scenario were the fastest will win)
    Note that if the scopes overlap on the servers, they might not lease out all the addresses in the scope.
    I would enlarge the scope as you will want to fence against unavailability of one of the servers (or a network connection for that matter). you currently have more addresses leased out than any set of two of your servers can offer.
