Hey guys, so I was wondering who else is having problems with Skype on their N4. I know I am because when I use Skype, after about 4-5 minutes into a conversation, my side gets cut off, the conversation becomes choppy, and my friends always complain why they cannot hear me. Our simple fix so far is just reestablishing the call, but that gets annoying (especially since we are usually on a game and chatting). Anyone else suffering problems with Skype?
Kind of a stupid question, but is it hardware failure (like my mic just randomly gives out on Skype) or is it just the app itself?

Try Google Hangout. If you still have the problem, it's likely a system issue. In all likelihood it's a Skype issue. Maybe un install and reinstall?
No issues with Skype here except for high battery usage.
I use Skype for about an hour every day it consumes about 30-40% of the battery.

I have tried that, but still does not work for me. Still get that problem. I am already starting to think it could be a hardware issue because of the person who posted below (Who I am quoting also).

Weird. Are you still using stock ROM or a custom ROM? If a custom ROM, which one? I am currently running on Android 4.2.1 (Stock ROM). I am even attempting to reflash the stock ROM to see if it would be resolved.
I use MoDaCo custom rom and no issues with Skype, both in 3G and Wi-Fi

Does anyone here use stock ROM? I fear it may just be the ROM itself.

I think your earpiece is broken, you should do RMA.

Sorry, this is a stupid question, but what's RMA?
Also, I'm sure it's not an earpiece defect because it's the mic that acts up while I use Skype. Whenever I talk with them, I'm always using headphones. So I think I should be more worried about the mic.

I'm not going to lie, I had this issue as well on 2 calls with Skype in the past week, but I thought it was an issue with my Internet connection. Now I'm wondering what's going on exactly. Is there any way to test something like this? A faulty mic? How would one go about testing that if it's not a consistent sort of thing?
Skype user here. No issues so far

The same cut off probleme for me.
I use the CM10 nightly.
i ll try the stock to see.
I'm on stock ROM and have no trouble with Skype. I've used it for about 30 minutes on video calling, but it wore my battery down as well as used a lot of data. No doubt, the video and sound quality were both excellent.
Using CM10.1 made video call yesterday okay.

Yep this happened to me a few times before. Im guessing its the app ..
when the skype voice call goes into someone's voice mail nexus hangs
Hi everyone, I have a strange problem with skype on my nexus4; I have a nexus 4 running the stock 4.2.1 running and everytime i call someone if they pick up the phone everything's okay, but if they don't pick the phone and it goes to voice mail, my nexus 4 hangs and it does not become responsive unless i power the phone off and back on, and all this while the voice mail keeps going on. Similarly if the other party does not hang the phone the call just stays on and phone hangs again, i know this is a really weird one, please do let me know if anyone has seen this or something similar before.
I am stock 4.2.2 (no root) and have only used it once (short audio call). Worked OK except bluetooth is broken with old headset (phone audio profile), which works great on Nexus S using Skype and Nexus 4 with the native SIP client.
Skype has been a hit and miss with the various versions over the past few years and much more unstable since Microsoft got their hands on it.

The first A100 I bought would not wake up from standby. I had to take it back and get another one. This one has worked fine.

I will give it a few more days. Wish there was a concrete answer on what causes it as almost all honeycomb tabs seem tp be plagued by it. I changed my screen timeout to never and no lockups yet....will post my results here.
I meant to ask how long did your screen have to be off before it was unresponsive?
Sent from my A100 using xda premium
Same thing happened on my initial one. Tried doing a bunch of things to fix it like restoring it and downloading the newest firmware from another thread and nothing worked. Exchanged it and the new one works just fine.

My wifi is set to be on during sleep.
Ok so about 8 hours so far, no sleep of death yet. Though I haven't tried leaving it idle for more than 2 hours..
I unboxed, booted, updated both updates to 3.2.1, charged to full. Then rooted. Played a bit, currently have wifi set as it was default "sleep when screen off" though I most likely will be changing that to never sleep when I'm travelling.
On a side note..I used to use whatsapp to text with my wife for free when I'm out of the country. But our one year is up and can't really justify paying twice for it for the amount we use it. Is there an alternative to whatsapp that doesn't slaughter battery life? I was going to go with kik messenger but it was causing massive drain in my testing..just running in the background. Also tried IMSY and I think its garbage.
Would love others opinions were also looking to video chat if we can since I now have a ffc. But she will be on the PC. Are skype and tango the best choices?
Wish there was an all in one app that could text/call/video call over wifi with android users as well as pc...does it exist?

Google voice allows you to text; GroveIP allows you to make calls using Google voice, Talk allows you to chat and I also believe video chat.

Just to update this in case anyone is interested,
We will be using Tango for free calls and voice chat...awesome app..I highly reccomend.
Also will be using LiveProfile for messaging, alternative to whatsapp and completely free....also highly reccomend!
So far no sleep issues and I'm at 91% after 14hours of sleep with wifi always on
Looks like my first device was faulty..

Hi guys. I have a rooted at&t samsung note 2. I have this problem with my phone since I bought it. Each time I use the speakerphone or the video chat on Skype, Tango, or viber the other party stops hearing me! As if my mic stops working! This happens only if I turn the speaker on and not when I use earpiece! It doesn't happen when I do regular calls.
Not sure what the problem is. Is it compatibility issue or something wrong with my phone. The new update didn't fix it and it is really becoming a frustrating issue.
I appreciate your help.

I had the same issue, you a probably using a mod that is messing it up. Factory reset and see if it works. If it does then you know it was a mod of it doesn't then it is defective.

I did factory reset. Same problem . Do you think it is a hardware problem? Strangely, it does that only with Skype, Viber, Tango but not with the native phone app.. When I make regular phone calls the speaker phone works well as well as the mic.
Any other suggestion before I head back to AT&T store?
I appreciate any help.
The phone otherwise works great.
I have that e same problem. Did u fix urs?

This phone is great but I have had 3 reoccurring issues.
The first is that the phone just ends calls sporadically with no rhyme or reason. It could be after minute, 3 seconds or 24 minutes.
The second is sometimes it goes silent for notifications, blocking mode is not on but I have to restart the phone to correct it.
Third is my second Gmail account doesn't push notifications anymore and I find it difficult to retrieve or send my messages.
Had anyone else experienced these issues? What can I do to correct them?

Am but the issues were there before and two other people have told me their phone just hangs up sometimes too.
So your saying the phone had problems even on stock no root? If so unroot and if the problem persists then take it in they will most likely exchange it due to faulty hardware
My phone hangs up sometimes as well. At random times and places. On all different roms. Even stock deodexed roms . Not enough to bug me but it can be annoying if you're on an important call. I haven't had the other issues you stated though.

Does anyone else experience drops while video chatting with the Hangouts app? I can only talk for 10-40 seconds before the call drops, the wifi icon turning grey and then blue again almost immediately. I'm close to the wifi router, so the problem is not coverage. Also, I'm running CM10.3, but I'm running that in my nexus 4 too and it works fine: I can talk for as long as I want without drops.
I don't get dropped calls on my n7 fHD, running cm10.2, but my mic sometimes stops working or the camera freezes after a few minutes. I do however experience your same exact problem while using Hangouts on my Galaxy SIII.

So it's a somewhat generalized problem. That makes Hangouts completely useless for me =/. I'll try Skype, then.

When one of my contacts tries to call me, my phone rings and I am only able to see their phone number but not their name. Their phone info will show in this format 1-234-567-8910; oli;63
When I try to call one of my contacts, it acts normal and also shows in the phone logs. I restored the phone to factory settings, but still not able to solve the problem. Any ideas?

Same problem.
Resolved by disable WiFi Calling, wait 60 secs, and turn in back on (if needed)
I Called T-mobile and Tech support sent me couple of SMS and made me turn off and then turn on the phone and called me again and it
seemed to have fixed the problem , but then I realized that problem is fixed from receiving calls from T-mobile numbers or land lines, but the from Verizon number it came with the ;oli;63
This is very strange, hopefully gets fixed soon.
Well I am having another problem now. That is, my phone calls are being rejected automatically when on Wifi calling when the phone is in a deep sleep. I checked under the call settings and changed the auto rejection mode off, but the problem is still there. Can someone else confirm this by chance?

Ready reported it to T Mobile. Not sure if they will fix it soon enough.
Also not getting HD Voice at all.
I have the same issue. I don't have service in my house, so the wifi calling feature is amazing. I've always used a nexus and hard to use third party apps and voips and connect with gv. For the most part if you recognize the number minus the olli, it's no big for now. I'm glad I can still make calls. Update should fix. At least it doesn't happen on reg network.

I called tech support in T Mo and they are sending me a new Note 3. But I doubt that will resolve the issue.

I got a second Note 3 from T Mo and still see the same Caller ID issue along with no HD Voice call capability.
I am returning mine until they fix the bugs (no HD Voice call support, 5Ghz WiFi connection instability, and this Caller ID problem)
I really would like to keep the phone... I love the huge display... but I think I will have to stick with my HTC One for now.
