What's the use of Skype if it can't receive calls?

The community of Skype users have been struggling with this issue and its variations for years now: "iPad doesn't ring"; "iPad won't ring"; "Skype on iPad does not ring"; "Skype calls not ringing on iPad"...
I am an iPad Skype user, and one of the reasons for that is that I want people to be able to reach me on my iPad. An other reason is that I think Skype is the best, otherwise I would switch to an alternative and wouldn't even bother writing here...
I am also an iPad user of Facebook, Messenger, YahooMail, Gmail, PlaneFinder, MyFriends, FaceTime, HangOuts, GameCenter and the like. All these will faithfully wake up my iPad and signal whenever I get a poke, or a chat, or an e-mail, or whenever my flight or a visitor arrvives, whenever I get a call or whenever it's my turn to play in a chess game... And my battery doesn't get drained any faster for that reason!
Given that, I find it hard to understand why it would be so difficult for Skype to do the same whenever a call comes in...
Maybe it's because you guys at Skype don't realise how important a phone call can be, and the implications of missing one. Maybe you consider this a minor issue that gets looked at as a background task, when time permits, when there'se nothing else to do?
C'mon, guys, get your act straight and fix this once and for all.

Usually, the small SSD is used as a Cache for the HDD. You would not install Windows on the SSD, but on the HDD. The smaller SSD can be leveraged by various technologies to help speed up your system by caching most used files on the SSD. Intel (for example)
has several responsiveness technologies that make use of the small SSDs documented
here on their Responsiveness Technologies page.

  • If someones is using my account/apple id can they receive calls or messages too?? and how can i notice  if someones using my apple id??

    if someones is using my account/apple id can they receive calls or messages too?? and how can i notice  if someones using my apple id??

    You cannot make your @icloud.com address the login address for the ID. However you can change your ID, currently a Gmail one, to any other functioning non-Apple email address. The Gmail address would then no longer access your account, and so even if someone were to obtain posession of it (is that even possible) it wouldn't allow them to get into your account.
    If you want to change your ID to another email address please follow the procedure outlined below, particularly noting the first step.
    Firstly, if you have 'Find My iPhone/iPad/iMac' enabled on any of your devices, turn it off.
    Create a new email address, for example  at Yahoo or Gmail, or anywhere convenient (or you can use an existing address as long as it has never been associated with an Apple ID).
    Go to http://appleid.apple.com and click 'Manage your Apple ID'. Sign in with the current ID.
    Where it says 'Apple ID and primary email address' and gives your current ID email address, click 'edit'.
    Enter your new address and click 'Save changes'.
    Now you will need to go to each of your devices and sign out in System Preferences (or Settings)>iCloud - 'Sign out' on a Mac, 'Delete this account' on an iOS device (this will not delete the account from the server).
    Then sign back in with your new ID. Your iCloud data will disappear from your devices when you sign out, but reappear when you sign back in.
    I re-iterate: before you start, turn off 'Find My Mac' (or whatever) or you will need the services of Support.

  • What is the use of ST05 ? and how to use  " ST05 "

    can anybody tell me what is the use of  " ST05 "
    and how can we handle it.

    SQL Trace
    SQL trace(ST05) provides the developer with the ability to analyse database select statements. Simply execute ST05
    to turn on SQL trace, then execute the statement/program you want to analyse. Now turn off SQL trace using ST05
    and click on list trace to view the details.
    You can also perform traces on other items such as authorisation objects.
    Authorisation trace analysis 1. Open two sessions
    2. Execute transaction ST01 in one of the sessions
    3. Select the authorisation checkbox, note the other traces
    you can perform (SQL, RFC, Table Buffer etc)
    4. Click the 'Trace On' button
    5. Within your other session execte the transaction/report
    you want to trace or get the user in question to do it
    6. Return to the session where you turned the trace on and
    click on 'Trace Off' otherwise it will continue to record
    all athorisation checks
    7. Click on the 'Analysis' button
    8. Enter appropriate data into selection screen such as
    Username, type of trace records (i.e. Authorization check)
    9. Click on the Execute button.
    10. Report displaying trace results will now be displayed
    http://www.sapdevelopment.co.uk/perform/perform_sqltrace.htm
    Some useful transaction related to this are ..
    ST01 SAP system trace
    ST02 Buffer statistics.
    ST03 Workload analysis.
    ST04 Database performance analysis.
    ST05 SQL trace .
    ST06 Operating system monitor ...
    From the recorded SQL trace you can deduce:
    · Which SQL statements your application carries out
    · Which values the system uses for specific database accesses and changes
    · How the system translates ABAP OPEN SQL commands (such as
    SELECT) into standard SQL commands
    · Where your application positions COMMIT statements
    · Where your application makes repeated database accesses
    · What database accesses or changes occur in the update section of your
    application

    Use
    The Performance Trace allows you to record database access, locking activities, and remote calls of reports and transactions in a trace file and to display the performance log as a list. It also provides extensive support for analyzing individual trace records.
    SQL Trace: This allows you to monitor the database access of reports and transactions.
    Enqueue Trace: This allows you to monitor the locking system.
    RFC Trace: This provides information about Remote Function Calls between instances.
    While the trace is switched on, the SQL Trace function records all database activity by a particular user or group of users. The R/3 System takes OPEN SQL statements and converts them in to embedded SQL statements that it passes to the database. It is the embedded SQL statements, their parameters, return codes, and the number of entries retrieved, inserted, or deleted that are recorded in the SQL Trace file. The log file also contains the runtime of the statement and the place in the application program from which it was called.
    The SQL trace tells you:
    The SQL statements executed by your program.
    The values that the system uses for particular database access and changes.
    How the system converts ABAP Open SQL statements (such as SELECT) into Standard SQL statements.
    Where your application executes COMMITs.
    Where your application repeats the same database access.
    The database accesses and changes that occur in the update part of your application.

  • How can I receive calls from Skype number

    Hi, my step-dad has just bought a Skype number.how can he receive calls if he doesn't want to log on using his laptop, for example, can he connect on his mobile or can we buy a phone and connect it to the wifi modem in his house? if he can buy a phone, what phone and where can he buy it?   

    Hi, does your step dad have a smartphone or tablet? If he does he can load the Skype app and connect to the wifi in his home.If he doesn't have a smartphone then look into getting an Android smartphone from wherever you buy phones from in your country. An entry level device will be sufficent if you don't want to spend much money.  You can buy a Skype compatible regular phone but they are not cheap and have to be connected by ethernet to your home router http://dualphone.net/ Another option is to forward his Skype number to his landline (if he has one) and answer the calls there, then use his laptop to make outgoing calls when needed. A subscription would cover this quite cheaply.

  • What is the possibility for Skype to withdraw or c...

    I want to get a Skype online number for business use, but found the Skype Terms of Service states that "If Skype allocates you an Online Number or Skype To Go Number, you do not own number or have a right to retain that number forever. Skype may need to change or withdraw the number allocated to you from time to time."
    What is the possibility for Skype to withdraw or change my online number?  I don't want to change the number after I print them out on my business cards.  Thanks!

    I'm glad you took a moment to read through the legal stuff, and found that point.  Skype does claim ownership over the Online Numbers it offers.  In practice, for most countries, there should be no need to worry about Skype making changes to your number. 
    It is possible that the number could be changed in the future, if something in the country or area where your number is changes - i.e., changes in area/city codes.  If the changes are imposed upon Skype by its partner providing the Online Number in that country, or by local/national regulations in that area, Skype would have no choice but to make changes to numbers.  In the past, numbers have been cancelled when Skype and the local company providing the Online Number service to Skype have ended their business relationship.  This could happen again in the future for numbers in other countries.  Anything is possible, but how likely this is may be minimal.

  • What is the use of this form?

    Hi all,
    What is the use of this form in include RV61B901?
    How does this code send any information to the program calling it? Is Sy-subrc global so that main program will know the reuslts?
    Code:
    FORM KOBED_901.
      DATA : l_anzpk LIKE likp-anzpk.
      SELECT SINGLE anzpk FROM likp
                          INTO l_anzpk
                          WHERE vbeln = komkbv2-vbeln.
      IF l_anzpk NE 0.
        sy-subrc = 4.
        exit.
      ENDIF.
      sy-subrc = 0.
    ENDFORM.
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    This form sets the value of sy-subrc(which is global) based
    on the value of l_anzpk.

  • What is the use of additon in up to 1 rows in SELECT statement

    Hi All,
             What is the use of up to 1 rows in select statement.
    for example
    SELECT kostl
          FROM pa0001
          INTO y_lv_kostl UP TO 1 ROWS
          WHERE pernr EQ pernr
          AND endda GE sy-datum.
        ENDSELECT.
    I'm unable to get in wat situations we hav to add up to 1 rows
    please help me out...
    Thanks,
    santosh.

    Hi,
    Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
    The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
    The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.

  • What is the use of Alternative Calculation Type =2 and 4

    Dear Friends
    In pricing procedure in gross value, Net value for Item and Net value has Alternative calucation type is 2.
    What is the use of it?
    Without using it these value line are also fetching net value then what is the work of it. Please give me detail information with its effects in pricing condition tab page in sales document.
    Thanking You
    Arun

    Arun biswal,
    Correct Biswal. We have at varoius stages within Pricing procedure the "net value" which is calculated. Not only the alternative calculation type "2" is used if you notice carefully they are stored as subtotals at various levels.
    For Ex Gross Value  --> Subtotal =1 --> Calc type = 2
    similarly for Net value for Item --> Subtotal =2 --> Calc type = 2
    Net value 2 --> Subtotal =3 --> Calc type = 2
    See, these are used to calculate the net value at various levels in pricing. The calculation Type has got a set of routines that will facilitate us in pricing. SAP has provided certain clauclated formulas or routines to facilitate us during calculation within pricing . Here the "2" is used for calculation without tax and store it as subtotal and display it or use it for further calculations.
    We can use this "netvalue" amount for further calculations. It is used for clarity purpose when you issue a statement to customer. (like Confirmation order) at various levels like discount amt involved, Freight involved, Rebate amount invloved.....
    Even without this Calc type or using sub total u can proceed....
    Finally we have  TOTAL  --> Subtotal =A --> Calc type = 4
    In the above line we have Calc type as 4, which means when you use TAX this calc type is used .
    Routines are used to facilitate your process....

    Could anybody tell me what is the use of Packet dimension in Virtual cube with services , It cannot contain data persistently ,Just fetch at runtime,Then there is no Physical load happening,Then why it should be automatically created for this??

  • What is the use of Withholding tax identification number field?

    Hello SAP Experts,
    I posted this question earlier but had to close because of no replies from anybody. Posting it again to see if I am lucky to get some answer this time.
    Can someone tell what is the use of field Withholding Tax Identification Number? Does it help with the reporting? Where does it get populated on the report if given at vendor or master record or within the withholding tax customization for company code? What is the difference between creating it in the customization for withholding tax information for company code and vendor/customer master record?
    As per SAP:  Withholding tax identification number
    This is a number issued by the tax authorities per withholding tax type.
    This number must be specified in Customizing either:
    (a) As part of the withholding tax information defined for the company code, or
    (b) As part of the withholding tax information defined in the customer or vendor master record.

    Hi Pete,
    The only thing that I could check is the content used in US:
    See content of this field for US:
    LFA1-STCD1      Social security number
    LFA1-STCD2      Employer identification number
    LFBW-WT_WTSTCD  Withholding tax identification number for WT Type
    In order to populate it, please kindly check the following:
    The reason why you cannot fill in the field WT_WTSTCD in transaction
    Fk02 however you can do it in XK02 (Change vendor centrally) can be due
    to wrong customizing of the field status group.
    Kindly check the following:
    SPRO->
    Finantial accounting -> Accounts receivable and accounts payable ->
    Define screen layout per activity (vendors) -> Change Vendor(Accounting)
    Company code data -> W/holding tax data, w/h tax 2 ->
    FIELD Withholding tax code,w/h tax 2 will be probably just available to
    display. Please, change it to optional entry.
    I hope I could be of assistance.

  • What is the use of HTTPS 8181 port

    Hi,
    I am wondering what is the use of the port 8181 on the EE5 application server.
    the second question. Why the application server open so many port on the same local machine. I agree that for security raison it is a good idea. But does application serveur use tcp connection to communicate between the server thread ?
    So it is possible to add a thread in the serveur application to process some internal work. And of course it is possible to include this new thread in the communication process of the server ?
    Can we have the map of all the tcp trhead use by the server application.
    Regards
    Herve Terrolle.

    Your app has to run as root to listen on ports up to 1024,
    also, some other app (apache?) may already be listening on port 443.
    AFAICT port 8181 is just arbitrarily chosen, it might as well have been port 4430, or any other free port above 1024.
