Cannot answer calls unless Skype is the active application

When people call me Skype or a landline, I see and hear the same indication of an incoming call that I've always seen and heard. But unless Skype is the active application, Skype I am already in a call and sends an incoming call to voicemail in less than half a second, which of course is usually too fast for me to switch to Skype and answer the call. I checked my status, and it is online when this happens (I never set it to busy). I have never changed my call settings. They tell even Skype give me ten seconds to answer before sending people to your voicemail.

I am running version 7.0.0.102, auto-updated. It looks like this bug started when they come out of the UI is radically different, whenever it is, a month or two before.

So messed up.

TIA for any help.

Yes. Disable automatic updates.

  • Audio plays more when Firefox is not the 'active' application on the desktop

    Just updated to the latest version (10.0.1). Audio plays now is more if Firefox is not the 'active' application on the desktop. In the past, I was able to open the Firefox browser, go to a site to listen to the audio, then go to another application on my computer and the audio would play again through my speakers from the firefox website. Now if I do that I lose audio, unless firefox is the 'active' application, which means that if the bar blue top on the browser is blue and not dimmed. I tried the Add on "Always on top" and this does not solve the problem I have. I looked through the various settings and did not see a solution. Can someone tell me if it's change-able or if it will be is no longer possible through browsers firefox?

    DOH! Feel like a jerk! Understand my problem! Sorry! Uh, I (or probably any other) had put the audio for the other app I was using (Avid editing software) on mute, causing the audio does not sink when the firefox browser was not "active".
    Someone else has a similar problem should check to see if the other application you use has the sound 'on '.

  • Cannot answer calls when the screen is active

    When my screen is active and someone calls, I see the floating bar at the top of my screen with drop or answer displayed. By pressing or the other option has no effect. In the case of lucky and keep tapping answer it could possibly answer the call, but most of the time the person hangs up before he does.

    Start in safe mode and try to answer it.

  • Cannot answer calls to a locked screen

    I have an iPhone 6 s more.  When my monitor is locked and a phone call comes, he says "Swipe to answer."  I drag, but all I get is a red phone icon, not the Green allowing you to answer the phone.  What I am doing wrong?

    The "red phone" icon means you have answered the call. The Act of swiping is all you need. The acceptance/rejection of the buttons display only when the screen is unlocked.

  • BlackBerry Curve 9330 Smartphone, cannot answer calls

    I just got my new Curve 9330 yesterday and I received a few calls and I can respond. I hit the Green send button or meet the blackberry button and try to select. Nothing works. I don't get the little hourglass spinning as other complaints have mentioned. It just rings and goes to the missed call.

    Hi and welcome to the Forums!

    Each time a random strange behavior or slow creeps, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the hood back and remove the battery. Wait a minute, then replace the battery and cover. Power on and wait patiently through the long reboot - about 5 minutes. See if things return to functioning. Like all computing devices, BB suffers from memory leaks and others... with a hard reboot is the best remedy.

    Best!

  • How to call BlackBerryContactList.choose () of the background application

    I am facing a problem while call BlackBerryContactList.choose () to background application (process) nothing happens.

    Below is the code

    List of BlackBerryContactList = (BlackBerryContactList) PIM.getInstance () .openPIMList (PIM. CONTACT_LIST, PIM. READ_WRITE);
    Choose PIMItem = list.choose ();

    When you call a user interface application works well, but even does not work when the application background.

    Please help me...

    This dialog works separately from your Application.  It is not actually a part of your Application.  It is a Global screen.  It works very well.

    But to use the dialog to choose, I think you should return control in your application, and as you've found, I think that you need to bring your application to the foreground in order to ensure that he choose the dialog box is displayed.  This means that you have to run a UiApplication, not a request.

    To make sure that it can request not bought to the forefront accidentally, you can set acceptsForeground() to false.

    But when you want to use the Choose dialog box, you will need to have this method returns true and then put your Application in the foreground.  When you get the answer to choose, you can set it to false and again take your application in the background.

    I suggest while you develop it you just create a UiApplication standard and make it work like that.  Then try to simulate an application by adjusting the acceptsForeground() at the right times.

    Since your application will in fact be a UiApplication, I suggest you have a too associated screen.  A simple splash screen will do.

    I hope this helps.

    PS > there is a small chance that you can requestForeground on your Application when you call the method of choice and it appears.  Try it.  But I will not be surprised if it fails.

  • Keyboard shortcut "Move the focus to the next window in the active application" system ignored

    Hello. Other than, for example, InDesign, Photoshop (12.0.2 x 64, Mac OS X 10.6.6 MacPro 4,1) seems to ignore the keyboard shortcut 'Move focus to the next window in the application active' systemic (in my case, and I think that generally, cmd - <). The key combination is not used by the set of keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop; in fact, Photoshop refuses to accept it as a shortcut, favourable to its use as a shortcut to System. But then why is inoperative in Photoshop and how to make it work?

    Thank you very much

  • How to show the background application

    Hello

    I want to follow an alert in my application when the application is in the background.

    I tried with this code: -.

    Alert: AlertDialog var = new AlertDialog();

    Alert.title = "alert";

    Alert.message = 'Notification '.

    alert.addButton ("Cancel");

    alert.addButton ("Show");

    alert.dialogSize = DialogSize.SIZE_SMALL;

    alert.addEventListener (Event.SELECT, alertButtonClicked);

    Alert.Show ();

    But it does not show the alert outside the application.

    But on further research on the web, I had found earlier than alert.show (IowWindow.getAirWindow .group ()); will allow the alert to be strictly within the application. Is this means that show() alert will generate alerts in the foreground, even when the application is in the background?

    Also, I want to put the application in the foreground when you press the button display. is it possible

    That is to say, the application state must be changed programmatically to 'normal '.

    Please help me

    Thanks in advance

    Looking for QNXSystemPowerMode to learn more about how to run your application even when it is in the background.

    Note, however, that if you do it wrong, you're going to drain the battery too fast and no one will want to use your application.  Do not set up just to sit in THROTTLED mode all the time if, for example, you want to just check a timer and do something later.  There are ways to use this very effective stuff, if you spend the time to learn.

    In addition, with regard to the "bring programmatically the app in the foreground", it is not possible unless you use a dialog box modal system (in other words, what you get with alert.show (()) just does it automatically.

    And it's probably a good thing... If I installed an app which itself has jumped to the forefront, becomes the active application, I would probably uninstall it immediately.  After all, how do you know that what the user is doing is not more important to him that no matter what your application wants to report?  It might be in the middle of a game, or give a presentation, or else where he does not want your application is throwing in the view.

    The same goes for using the 'modal system' form of the dialog as well.  I highly recommend that you not use it.  I believe that it is really only meant for critical problems of the system, such as the lack of flash memory or memory, and you will notice that it is not even use it to the situation of the latter.  (It might not for low flash either... I've never tried still get there.)

    If you want to attract the attention of the user, using a sound index (for now, the way that only acceptable, in my humble OPINION) or wait until the Notifications feature is documented and fully available for us.  That do the little "red flash" appears in the upper left corner and display a notification in the tray (top left corner) as well as how the PlayBook is currently app updates are available in the App World.

    If you insist on the use of the modal approach of the system, I would be very interested to learn what is the use case, as so far, I do not think that someone has described one that would generally be considered a valid use of this API, for most users.

    Finally, if you don't use a modal system, consider to give the user a way to disable it, as in your settings menu.

  • cannot answer the calls when 'asleep '. Swipe will not work, but appeal continues to ring

    cannot answer the calls when 'asleep '. Swipe will not work, but appeal continues to ring

    If you have not already, try to force reboot the phone by holding down the button sleep and home for 10 seconds, until the Apple logo comes back again. You won't lose any data, but it can cure a few glitches.

    If it does not, and to make sure that this isn't related software, set it back to factory settings, without using any data backup later. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the phone.

    If it still does not respond, it could be a hardware problem and the phone must be repaired by Apple or an Apple authorized Service Provider:

  • delay in response time when answering calls so that the screen is active (xperia z5)

    When a click 'reply' during the screen is active, it fails the call as expected. It sometimes takes a few attempts. There is a known issue on Android 5.1.1 (Build number 32.0.A.6.200)

    Developer the activated options. See the option key is enabled. I can see to the touch, but answer the phone software is delayed.

    I ran the following tests:

    Operating time

    The screen locked (idle screen): immidiate response

    Screen in use (youtube): 4 keys (4 seconds) to answer or refuse

    Screen in use (whatsapp): 3 keys (3 seconds) to answer or refuse

    Active Screen (home screen): 1 touch (3 seconds) to answer or refuse
