Okay so i haven't received any chat notifications with the new Skype app at all. Today i decided to create a 2nd account and do some tests with myself.
I found on a Skype forum that the WP8 app notifications won't work with old versions of the desktop app you always appear offline if you aren't in the WP8 app.
Once I downloaded the updated desktop app I suddenly stayed logged in when I left the app on my phone (by either start or back button)
Now that i appear online from the desktop I send myself a message and then my contact card flickers between online/offline then the message shows as sent and i get no notification on my phone.
I also tried calling myself from my PC and while that seems to work every time it took a very long time for the call to get to my phone.
Has anyone had this problem and been able to figure it out, or am I just the only one not living in a background notification wonderland?
