Skype not working on N9
 
I have been using skype without issue on the N9 for almost a year and all of a sudden the contacts have disappeared and I can't open up the settings properly from accounts. I have tried removing the account from the N9 and re-adding it without luck. I have also re-flashed the phone. My contacts can see me online. When I try to re-add a contact it says 'checking' in status.
Running PR1.3 for a month without issue before now.
Any suggestions?

run as user in terminal:

Code:
rm -rf /home/user/.accouns
rm -rf /home/user/.qmf
rm -rf /home/user/.activesync
and also as user run the following in terminal:

Code:
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/http_proxy
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/proxy
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/osso

The above commands will delete all your accounts, contacts and internet connections...do a reboot after running the commands then try creating a new account...

I did everything as you said but it deleted only my email messages. Was I supposed to re-boot between the two steps?
Thanks

Hi, I have run these two steps and it only deleted the emails and the wireless connection. It did not remove the IM accounts or facebook, etc. I ran both steps and rebooted between both. Did I miss something? Thanks

Anyone Else have any ideas?

Re: Skype not working on N9
 
Well the above should remove your IM accounts etc. If they have not been removed, its quite possible you didn't do it correctly. Could you post the output from terminal for the whole process stated above...

The thing is I have now pulled out my N900 and found that has also lost all the Skype contacts. Surely the issue can't be both devices? I see others have had this problem on both devices so something must be wrong somewhere. There was a Skype update sometime around the time the issue first arose.

Re: Skype not working on N9
 
The stupid thing is Skype does work, it's just the contacts are all missing. I can re-add the contacts on the phone, but it just says "checking". I can receive calls and IM from Skype contacts - they see me online, but I can't see them.

Re: Skype not working on N9
 
I have posted this recent problem in the old N900 thread with similar issues:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=85606
and also at
http://community.skype.com/t5/Other-...ts/m-p/1001536
and at
http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Maem...1536358#M35460

I have tried all flavours of "clear device"/"restore settings"/reflash/manual rm... and nothing helps. I deduce, that the fault is at the side of skype central servers or some kind of protocol change/incompatibility.

I hadn't used Skype for a long time, but today I talked to someone in India for a long time and it worked great. My old contacts were there, and I had no problem adding her as a new contact.

Nokia N9 (meego) is a great phone! but the software has yet to be fixed. . Let's not rush the recommendations for other phones ;)
the problem with my skype contacts in the region to use is - Europe .

Re: Skype not working on N9
 
nexthuman89 i tried replying again to your PM but strangely the system doesn't allow me to reply to you anymore...

in terminal just type the following:

Code:
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/http_proxy
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/proxy
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/osso
Reboot your phone and create your accounts again...Remember the above deletes all your internet connections too...

thedead1440 2012-08-30 10:09
Re: Skype not working on N9
 
no devel-su...

just type when you open terminal for both steps...

the steps must be done as regular user maybe that's why your issue persists...

I just followed someone's advice on the n900 thread and I created a new Skype account on my PC and logged in on the PC using the new account. I was about to log out of Skype on the N9 (original account) when I realised it had started to work again. Follow this and let me know what happens for you

on the N9 I didn't change anything on the N9. I did it all on the PC - just a new account - no contacts. I didn't have to add myself as a contact on the new account.

On the N900 I had to delete the original account, then added the new account, removed that and re-added the original account and it worked on that too.

Sorry - I forgot one other thing that I did because it was several days earlier. I removed Skype and downloaded an older version 5.10.0.116 from June.
I am still sure my problems started with a Skype update.

Re: Skype not working on N9
 
Same problem, I am online on skype and I can receive messages and see my remaining credit but I don't have any skype contacts. And this is a newly flashed device (courtesy Nokia Care).

Any solutions?

Yup, they took a month and a half, but they did fix it for free.

rahulthewall 2012-09-04 08:52
Re: Skype not working on N9
 
As an alternative solution, I was wondering if it is possible to export skype contacts to a file and then import that file in the N9. Sort of like a manual re-sync.

I would try in the evening if it is actually possible to make a skype call with the N9 (now with the skype error).

And completely off-thread, the last month and a half have been pretty troublesome with the N9 (for me). First the issues at Nokia Care, and now this. I use Skype very heavily, without it, the phone is as good as dead to me.

Re: Skype not working on N9
 
As of yesterday my N9 no longer logs into Skype. It prompts me to enter my password, which I do, but it says wrong password (the password is 100% certainly correct).

There have been some recent updates to Skype in general, which I believe has forced some people with older clients to upgrade. So is Skype on N9 no longer supported?

That will rather quickly relegate the N9 to 'backup phone' status, and bring back the iPhone as primary.

rahulthewall 2012-09-04 15:28
Re: Skype not working on N9
 
This is ridiculous. Will I have to buy a new phone just so that I can use Skype? Quite ticked off at this stage.
