Re: Skype Update! 3/19/13

In principle, you're right. I think there's something wrong with my phone. Be that as it were, I'll admit i should probably be happy they've made some significant improvements, instead of getting hung up on the one issue that I continue to have issues with.

its your phone
so why are you blaming skype or microsoft

Re: Skype Update! 3/19/13

Some features have been addressed, but Microsoft are being puzzlingly pedestrian about it. After spending 8.5 Billion on Skype you'd think they would put a bit more effort into making it the chat/voice app of choice in WP.

Still need to have Skype built into the OS. The people hub is a nice start

Re: Skype for WP8 updated. (3/19)

I had one of those nights where I don't know if the new Skype killed my battery or if my phone didn't sit just right on my wireless charger... hmm... I think it is a case of the latter and not the former...

Re: Skype for WP8 updated. (3/19)

Note that if it still doesn't give you notifications, then uninstall and when you then run it for the first time, make sure you keep it open for several minutes before changing apps.

From the Skype support boards the app has to register itself for notifications and this can sometimes take a while to work.

Personally I think this is pretty crappy given that it just works on things like iOS, but it helped fix notifications on my phone.

Re: Skype for WP8 updated. (3/19)

Skype for WP8 gets updated with new features. Pure silence.

Skype gets a beta on another platform. E-RAGE!!!!!


I was going to say the same thing. Of course instead of being excited some of the doom and gloom patrol are making up new reasons why the app is bad in their eyes.

Re: Skype for WP8 updated. (3/19)

is anyone having an issue w/ Skype after the update? Whenever I go back into the app, it asks me to sign-in again..and when I do..i don't really see the People Hub Integration..

Yep, log out possible, still no background functionality..... Sad, Microsoft....

8X here....Skype *is* listed in Background tasks, 'advanced' section ie "These apps can run in the background, and you may not be able to block all of them". Likely a good thing to keep everything in sync..eg notifications etc.

Probably still sucks, glad they put back people hub integration.

How are the notifications coming? or not coming?

Re: Skype Update! 3/19/13

i have a Lumia 620 and Skype is listed on "background" when i long press the back button...and i do receive notifications...so i really don't see what's the problem some pplz are having here .-.
same thing with WhatsApp...many complaints but it works perfectly fine for me .-.

edit: stupid question, but it matters - when u guys leave Skype, you click the back button or windows button?
