Unable to answer calls in windows 8.1

Ive been having issues answering and making skype calls since upgrading to windows 8.1 some time ago. Basically I have been unable to connect to incoming calls sporadically. It can take up to as many as 10 attempts before I am succesfully able to join. resetting skype does not seem to solve the issue. there is also an error message that says problem with the recording device, though my mic is working just fine. anyone else experiencing this? 

I am sorry I saw that the thread was showing solved and didn't return until tonight.

  • Unable to answer calls with 3.0 OS

    I posted this problem before with the 2.1 firmware here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1722193
    It appears to be even worse with 3.0, for me anyway. I just upgraded to 3.0 and out of my first 5 calls with it I had a hard time answering 4 of them. One of them was missed altogether. The slider just refused to slide. What can I say. I was so hopeful this would be fixed. Oh well.
    BTW, my "sometimes successful workaround" (change the ringer switch position) didn't seem to help.

    I have had this same problem. I had back on version 2, but thought it might be related to 3G phone being jailbroken. New 3GS does the same thing. Appears to happen mostly when the ringer is off. Sometimes the slider will move but everything stops with that, phone will not "pick up".
    I also have used the same "sometimes workaround" flipping the ringer switch back and forth.

  • Cannot answer calls using touch-screen

    I am using G900, it is a touch-screen phone, I am unable to answer calls using the touch-screen option.
    1) Is there any update required for the software for the same to work.
    2) Can I change the settings in the mobile to answer calls using some key on the keypad.
    Thanks
    You can email me your replies on [email protected]

    One question, does the touchscreen works on everything else?

  • Since I upgraded to IOS 7.0.2, many times I am unable to answer the calls. Then I have to switch off and on to answer the calls. I checked with my three friends who updated and they are also facing same problem. Kindly let me know the solution.

    Since other millions of people updated and do not have that problem - it means one of two.
    1.Your friends lied to you and do not have that problem and in that case only your installation of ios7 got corrupted and you need to restore your phone.
    2.Your friends didn't lie to you and all 4 of you need to restore phones (that way reinstalling ios 7 properly)
    here are instructions for restore and you may have to backup before restore.

  • Unable to answer incoming call on Facebook

    I am able to connect when calling, but unable to answer when another is calling me.  No indication, the incoming caller says that my address is unavailable.

    Probably you have not enabled Call Waiting in your Settings/Phone, or your account is not provisioned for call waiting by your carrier. Give them a call if it is enabled in Settings.

  • Unable to use headset button to answer call

    Version = Skype for Android 5.7.0.13054Phone = Samsung Galaxy 4Headset = Plantronics Voyager Legend bluetooth I have the headset working OK with the phone and can answer calls to the mobile number by pressing the button on the headset, but have been unable to answer any calls to Skype this way.I have paid for a Skype phone number and would also like to be able to answer Skype voice calls from the headset, but have not been able to get this to work.  I always need to answer the call from the phone - the headset works OK once I have done this.Has anyone managed to get a similar setup working so that Skype voice calls can be answered by pressing the button on the headset?  Or, does anyone have any idea how to overcome this? Thanks Richard

    Sometimes this revives those buttons.
    With the battery and AC adapter removed, close the Power switch for 30 seconds.
    Re-attach those, press the Power button to turn the computer on, and then immediately press the F2 key while the Toshiba logo is displayed. Press F9 to restore the BIOS default settings, press F10, and then select Yes (Exit Saving Changes). The computer will restart.

  • 7920 Unable to answer with two inbound calls ringing

    I have a CME customer reporting that when their 7920s have two inbound calls ringing at the same time they are unable to answer either call.
    The 7920s are a shared extension, on Dual Line DNs, with their desktop phones.
    CME is 4.0(2), and the 7920 phone load is 4.0-03-00.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem, or have any idea what might cause it?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    What type of ap are you using? Controller or autonomous?
    If controller is pre-4.0.217.0 version then would want to set the 802.1p tag for the platinum QoS profile to 7 vs 6 or upgrade to 4.0.217.0.
    Also would advise to upgrade the 7920 to 03-02.

  • Unable to install Itunes in Windows XP

    I am unable to Install Itunes oin Windows xp professional SP2, it gives below error: Let me know how to get it installed

    OK, there is still not much to go there.
    I assume you are using 32 bit XP Pro, iTunes will not install on 64 bit XP but you should get a different error.
    Lets try installing the components of iTunes separately.
    Download the iTunes installer and save it in your downloads folder.
    The files will be either itunessetup.exe or itunes64setup.exe for a 64 bit system.
    Open notepad and copy the following 3 lines into it.
    md temp
    itunes64setup /extract temp
    pause
    Remove 64 for 32 bit itunes.
    Save the file as extract.bat into the same folder that contains the itunes installer.
    Open the downloads folder and you should find the extract file that you saved. Double click on it and a black window will open telling you what it is doing. When its finished, press any key to continue.
    You should find that a folder called temp has been created containing all the itunes msi files.
    Install by double clicking on them  in this order:
    Apple Application Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Apple Software Update
    iTunes
    Make a note of any error messages and which component it relates to.
    Also use the Windows Event viewer to see if there are error messages at the time you attempted the installs.
    The following article gives information about using the Event Viewer:

  • I am suddenly unable to receive calls on my iPhone 4S.  Is it possible that the age of the phone will affect its ability to receive calls? HELP!

    I am suddenly unable to receive calls on my iPhone 4S. 
    I have spent 2 hour-long sessions with technical support and although they were very nice, it is still not fixed.
    When I try to call the phone from a land line, it doesn't ring AND it doesn't recognize that a call is coming in (no missed call) BUT if I leave a message, it records it.
    Is it possible that the age of the phone will affect its ability to receive calls?
    HELP!

        MarketingMary,
    I am truly sorry to hear that your are unable to receive calls on your device. Thank you tbo27 for providing great troubleshooting steps. Making sure call forwarding is not active by dial *73 is great. Have you already reset network settings also? http://vz.to/RTz70g Are you able to make calls fine? Make sure Do not Disturb is not active. Settings>Do Not Disturb
