Why won't Skype(Microsoft) get rid of ChatAndVisio...

Everybody loves Skype and the product is getting to the point where it's becoming a viable alternative to conventional phones.  Well, now try buying a desktop phone.  Only ChatAndVision offers them and as you can read from other posts here the company is a total scam.  Their web site is so poor, their support so inexistent and the quality of their communication so low that I feel like I'm doing something illegal as I try to buy something from them.  Now, businesses like this are all over the place.  What really shocks me is that a company the size of Microsoft would allow one of their brands to be associated with this.  My hope with my post is that someone at Skype would read this and do SOMETHING about this absurd situation.

In answer to your question, it is MS putting profit before service & quality. Think about the windows releases that need 'repair before functionality, BUT you still pay full price. My NEW  Skype 4088 phone will not access my account, the batteries would not hold a charge, the currency shown is UK, (I'm in Australia) the gift card was two YEARS out of date, no light on the side of the Phone, Yes on the little black box. It will not hold the settings Date 06.01.1970. How old is the darned thing...

  • Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle ...

    Why won't skype activate the web cam on my kindle fire hd?

    The question has been answered but not that you like to hear.
    You have been using an iPhone since 2011 with an iCloud ID that is not yours, how do you explain that?
    I saw a message that said your phone was lost and erased, and I was asked to activate my iPhone with my Apple ID.
    Since you know it was lost but not by you, you have an iPhone that is not legitimate. Your receipt may get you out of trouble with the police but that doesn't make the iPhone yours.
    Activation Lock cannot be bypassed and  if the your story is true then you should sort it out with Best.

    a message has popped  up in safari saying we have won a prize cant get rid of it

    Try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    Then when the iPad has restarted clear Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
    You could also close Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

    I removed Creative Cloud but I still get pop-ups asking me to log in....why and how do I get rid of it?

    Looks like you didn't uninstall; you just logged out.  Go to the Windows Control Panel, Programs and Features (in Win7; may be different in your version of Windows).  right click on each Adobe CC app you want to uninstall and select "uninstall".  Then uninstall CC itself.

    Why won't my ipad get junk mail?

    Probably because your email provider is filtering it.  The built-in Mail app has no mail filtering capabilities.

  • Why won't Skype let me update my credit card infor...

    The credit card I signed up to Skype with recently expired and I now have a new one. For every single one of my subscriptions, I have been able to update the credit card information without a single interruption.
    And yet, despite having had complaints about this issue going back years, Skype remains the only xxxxxxxxxxxx service on the face of the planet that requires you to cancel your subscription in order to enter in a new credit card.
    Do the people who run this service live under the impression that credit cards are eternal items without expiration dates? Why should I have to go through the annoyance of cancelling my Skype number, subscribing to a new one with my updated credit card, and then go through the process of informing all my friends and family that my Skype number has been changed? Why can't Skype simply allow me to update my credit card information?
    The fact that this problem even exists is inexcusable. I'd expect this xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx from a small website based in a third-world country, not a global enterprise owned by one of the biggest corporations on the face of the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx planet. 

    I have a related problem. The bank recently sent me a new credit card with a different number. So I needed to update my Skype account. But geez, this is an infuriating and hopeless pursuit!  The problem in my situation actually lies with the "Verified-by-Visa" process that Skype has outsourced to CA Technologies. The Vierified-by-Visa validation process fails on the Skype site, though it is successful with other vendors. I have verified with my bank that the card and account are fine. The Verified-by-Visa configuration is correct and tested. So it's Skype/Microsoft that have the problem.
    But the comical and sad state is that the support process at Skype is idiotic and circular. With each communication, the Skype representative directs me to begin the support conversation all over again, as if it was my first contact with the the support group. They refuse to read any communications or details that I send, even though the detail is technically useful. As well,  with each communication (email), the original thread of conversation is deleted.
    I suspect that there are no real people working in the Skype support organization, just automated robots. If I'm wrong about this, and there are live people somewhere, lookup this ticket number, and get in touch with me:  SRX1278630595ID.
    I suppose I will just wait for the credit card charge attempt to fail, and let my subscription lapse. I'll just use other services instead.

  • My macbookpro shows as a device on itself in finder - why and how do I get rid of it  Thanks!!

    Hello all.
    My macbookpro shows as a device on itself in finder - I'd like to know why or at the very least how to get rid of it.  Thank you!!

    Thank you!!  I was afraid something had happened because I am running Windows via VMWare and that somehow wires had gotten crossed.  I was leery of trying to get rid of it in case it was actually a duplication of something.  Thanks again!!

  • Why can't I just get rid of the Metro UI altogether?

    I don't want it, I just want Windows to function like 7 does, however since you've decided to make DX12 Windows 10 only, I'm going to HAVE to upgrade at some point. 
    The metro crap is so annoying, like when I right click to disable my Wifi adapter in Network connections, it pulls up the Metro UI............... why? Why can't I right click and have a bar pop up where I've right clicked like how Windows has always done
    it. I fail to see how pulling up a different UI in another locations helps at all... just makes more button presses as I then have to do a few more clicks in there to get to where I just was on the Desktop.
    Since I have 3 monitors, the Metro UI always opens up on another monitor, which makes it even more annoying.
    I just want it all gone, I've never used it, I have no interest in your tablets or phone so I couldn't care less about it. Just give me a plain and simple Desktop for fuck sake!

    That assumes Microsoft actually has both the intention and the talent to change it for the better.
    Where's the evidence of that?
    With the latest build, 9860, we see what changes, exactly, after 3 weeks of work?
    Slight tweaks to the theme (which is ugly).
    New/adjusted window transition animations (which are annoying and don't handle the drop shadow properly).
    A new Notifications window that appears BEHIND an auto-hidden Taskbar.
    A prototype zPC Settings app that implies they're re-implementing the control panel in Metro/Modern.
    Event messages that are virtually all undocumented.
    No build symbols available on the Microsoft online symbol server.
    A Task Manager that still won't remember what tab it was last on.
    Gargantuan CPU and GPU power and we still can't resize a Metro/Modern app to be small.
    Ask yourself:  Do we see ANY evidence at all that Microsoft has made ANY direction change from pursuing that which caused Windows 8 to fail?
    Where is the innovation?  Where is the effort?  I'm just one engineer and I can tell you my own software products have changed more in the past 3 weeks than Windows has.

  • Why won't Skype calls ring?

    . . . because the "Ring on all devices" feature has been removed. Therefore, if you use headphones, you must unplug them every time you take them off and step/look away from your computer - otherwise, you will miss calls. I don't understand the logic behind the removal of that feature. Can someone from Skype enlighten me?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi,
    Unfortunately due to changes in the Windows Audio infrastructure it is not possible any more to ring all audio devices at the same time on Windows which is why we had to remove this functionality.
    You can manually re-order the order of priority for your audio devices to ring. So e.g. you could have your computers audio always ring, even if your headset is plugged in. You will find that option in the Skype options' "General - Audio Settings" section.

  • I have a large amount of "Other" data on my iPhone 5 after the last 2 updates. Why and how do I get rid of it?

    After I sync my phone, it has a large amount of data under the category-"other".  About 11gigs. This is an issue. Does anyone know why and how I can delete it?  I think it's from iMessage, email, etc..., but I have deleted lots of it with no result.

  • Why won't my microsoft bluetooth notebook mouse 5000 not stayed connected

    This mouse has been working.  When I close the notebook it loses connection.  I have checked batteries, discoverability, etc.  I have even restarted computer.
    What is with this Microsoft Bluebooth notebook mouse 5000?  I use a Mac Pro.  Thanks for your help.

    I went through many of the same frustrations as the members above...my mouse had been working after the upgrade and then when I set up for a presentation with a room full of teachers it wouldn't connect.  I replaced batteries, etc... so I resorted to the pad.
    When I got home i checked the batteries and tried to reconnect following all the "normal" steps until I read the comment above about removing the existing device in the bluetooth preferences.  Once I did that - the 5000 connected like a champ!  Yeah!  This is the one mouse that I have really appreciated, especially since both of the USB ports are side by side and don't allow for multiple USB connections from my "wide" cellular USB card.
