Solution for SKYPE ALWAYS ONLINE

It's a bug like everything that is part of Microsoft.
The solution is: Unlink your Skype account and your Microsoft account
My problem came when I logged from Skype for Windows 8. I was asked do I want to link my accounts without knowing the consequences. After I saw that terrible thing called Skype for Windows 8 I searched the Net for desktop version. But what I found is that I appear always online. After chat with the Skype support I got nothing. So I found in Skype Community that unlinking the Skype and Microsoft accounts worked. I tried it and it worked for me too. Unless Microsoft fix that problem unlinking is the only way.
How do I unlink my Skype and Microsoft or Facebook accounts?

This is the right answer. The problem started happening yesterday when I linked the two accounts and now it is resolved after unlinking them again. Shame on you Microsoft!
For you guys who are not managing to get a result from this solution it probably is because you did not go to your config page (see above in the quoted message) to find out if your accounts were linked or not!

@architgrover, the way that it should work is when you run /remotelogout on your PC (or Mac, AFAIK), all other clients will be logged out of MS's cloud, which is what shows people as fake-online.
Are you sure that doing that and then running /showplaces still shows the Android client as live? It really shouldn't. Likewise, using the formal Logoff menu (lower left in the Skype Android client) should have the same effect. Simply turning off your phone or going into Airplane Mode does not, which is a major design flaw but something we'll have to continue to live with.

Correct - third party Apps cannot be on in the background. It can be always on - just leave it as the only thing running.
I can't believe apple didn't think about that.
They did and its clearly spelled out in the literature that it is not a multitasking device.
There is a way or official application can solve the problem?
Nope - not at all. No multitasking. One application at a time only.

There is no problem, its just that you didnt read before buying. The iPhone does not multitask and thats all there is to say.

Why does this site have online chat when you can never actually chat - always "not available"? I was trying to get a simple question answered without calling and being on hold for 10 minutes?

Incoming Skype calls always busy

This is a long-running problem with no apparent solution, but I figured I would ask. I have Skype and an online number. Now supposedly, this means I can receive incoming calls. I can't. The phone line is always busy. We've gone through Level 1,2, and 3 support with Skype -- still no success.
Their latest suggestion is that maybe something in the firewall is stopping incoming calls. (In which case, why don't they roll over into voice mail? he wondered.) OK, so humor me here -- will my Time Capsule block any incoming calls on Skype? Does anyone know the ports that I would need to check (simple google didn't reveals those)? Do I need to endure sitting on hold to talk to Road Runner tech support to find out if the ISP is blocking something?

My router is a Time Capsule. My modem is, yes, provided by Road Runner.

Skype support couldn't provide you with those?
I'll put in the request now. It could take a couple of weeks to hear back. But when you're dealing with Skype, time and space really kind of are irrelevant to them.

Why does Skype suggest contacts to block?

Please help me understand.. PLEASE.. When a user goes to Tools>Options, selects Privacy>Blocked Contacts, there is a list of contacts blocked. Below that is an option to block a contact/s from a list given from skype. I wanted to know why those in particular contacts appear there. Why does skype suggest those particular contacts?/ What was done to make those in particular contacts be on that list?

Hi, misscrowley1, and welcome to the Community,
I never figured out what the logic is behind whose names appear on that list and whose do not. I once thought it may have been the most recently contacted names, however that is not always the case. I think it's random!
Kind regards,
Elaine

Always ´online´

Recently my skype contacts have noticed that i am always online eventhough i close my session after using Skype. I thought perhaps i left my session open after using on a different device so i changed my passwrod but the problem persists. Today a contact sent me an email asking why i didnt pick up as she was calling me all day despite the fact that i didnt log on all day! I have checked setting but cant seem to find the solution! Any help appreciated

I've checked different posts related to the same issue and see how your response is always the same. While the solution works well for some, it doesn't work for others and I would highly appreciate it if you took the efforts to look into those cases as well. I've done the steps you provided but am still facing the same issue. Would you please actually investigate this rather than copy-paste the same "solution" always???

Keep Skype in an ONLINE state

Hi,
just purchased a skype enabled home phone, have a skype local number with an unlimited subscription.
Problem is it keeps setting my status to away and i keep missing my calls.
is there a feature or setting i can force online and never go away?

As far as I know, Skype-compatible hardware devices tend to remain online. The only time they aren't:
1. There is a setting in that device that forces it to another state.
2. You change the state in another Skype client either manually or automatically (when idle) and that updates the online status of your account. This then toggles your online state for the hardware device as well. So if your Skype client is toggled to Away, that may be causing the issue.
I personally leave myself in online at all times. I have nothing set to change any of my states and my hardware device is always online. I generally receive all my calls.

Why the time of the online redo logs doesn't change?

Oracle 11.1.0.7 on windows 2008.I find the time of the online redo logs doesn't change since Jan 18 when I had restarted database,and the time of some datafiles doesn't change either.the database is always online and changes are wrriting to the files, I don't know how this happened?
would anyone help me? thank you.

I found some datafiles have the latest date,but the other not. They all have write/read operations on them.
and the switching of the redo logs doesn't change the timestamps of the logfiles since Jan.18 when I had restarted the database. this situation does not appear on the early 8.1.7 database on windows 2000
Does this situation normal?Hi,
Why dont you post the output of the query you are using such as
select group#, first_time, status from v$log;
select name, last_time, status from v$datafile;
select name, CHECKPOINT_TIME, status from v$datafile_header;Time stamp wont change for offline and may be for temp tablespace.

Why does skype forward my calls

Why does skype forward my calls to my skype number when I am online?

Hi sydneysmith1234,
I can see in your account that you have an active calling subscription. Please note that subscriptions renew automatically, as stated in our Terms of Use. You will be charged for it's renewal depending on the period you selected. Please refer to the private message I sent to you for further details.
To check your private message, just go to Skype Community home page (community.skype.com), scroll at the bottom of the page. You will see "Private Message" just above "Users Online."
Due to the time it can take for some transactions to be processed, we charge you three days in advance to ensure prompt delivery of your subscription. You do not lose these three days: your subscription is still valid for the full period that you sign up for.
Your subscription will renew even if you are not using it. Skype subscription is the same with other subscriptions like cables, telephones, etc., wherein you are automatically charged for their renewal.
For more information on how subscriptions work, you may refer to this link: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA10414/
If answer was helpful please mark it with Kudos and if issue is resolved mark it with solution. This will help other users find this answer more easily. Thanks in advance!
