Skype

[miklavzg]

Hey guys,
does Skype work for you?

I must say it worked for me after re-installing it, but after some time it stopped notifying me of a new messages, calls, etc.
Do you have any informations when can we expect a stable version?

Same issue. It's buggy. It happens when I go from having a 4g signal to Wi-Fi connection. It seems that the phone does not handle the transition well. For now, a restart seems to fix it.

I got my phone about 5 days ago so I still haven't downloaded skype yet. Is it safe to download skype? I remember in the beginning skype was causing many people to have reboots and stuff. So Im kinda scared to download it

Updates will come. Be patient.

I know it will, but it's not good to publish a new windows phone 8 handsets with so many bugs and such a lack of apps. Better to publish it a little later so everything would work out of the box.
That's why I bought WP8, because it worked out of the box on every YouTube WP8 commercial.

2 months later Microsoft will say Skype will work perfectly in Windows Phone 9

LOL, hope not

But I really bought my 8X because Microsoft promised that Skype will be integrated and working like a charm + there will be a Nokia navi on all WP8 handsets. For now, I'm an idiot.

No you are not. MS is working on it.

I'm missing random messages sent to me via Skype.

I'm aggravated with this two. It is still beta, however. Not that MS shouldn't have had the full version out with WP8 launch, but still.

"We're working on it" is not a great experience, and Microsoft has REALLY dropped the ball on this.

I wouldn't touch the Skype app until it's out of "Beta." And Microsoft should really get more resources at Skype working on WP8 development.

It's in BETA!! Damn what's wrong with people?

That's the freaking problem. It's been in BETA for 2 months now. What was the Skype development team doing the whole of 2012?

 

[jgraves4480]

Yeah it seems like they forgot people use Skype for work.

 

[madmoondog]

Mine works mostly fine, but not good enough. I agree, it should have launched as a gold release with windows 8 phone, I mean really its not like Microsoft doesn't own Skype or anything!

They were busy making the app more awesome on iPhone It has received I think two sizeable updates in the past 2 months.

I'm pretty sure there is a Dev team for each platform..

Which brings us back to the question, what is the dev team for WP8 doing? I mean seriously. It's been like 60 days.

 

[ttsoldier]

if you can do a better job, by all means, go ahead.
