If I use MyContacts to initiate a skype call to anyone, the call begins (rtcomm-ui is shown), but within 2-3 seconds, call fails with a message "Unable to establish connection". However, if I call that same contact using the normal contacts it takes a long time for the call to be established after the UI is shown, but it eventually works.

Do you have any timing constraints put in place to error out if a connection is not made?
MyContacts does very little to start a call... It just requests the channel from telepathy (pretty much the exact same code I shared with you)

Unfortunately I only have questions - no answers:
Does it happen all the time (always for all contacts) or just in some cases (slow connection? after reboot? after very long w/o reboot? on wifi? using cellular? for contacts that were offline? ... )? Before you start the call does mycontact show the contact as online? does it get any better if you shutdown mycontacts and start again?

I have experienced one issue with mycontacts/skype once but I was trying to start a chat session. I couldn't find any reason for it to fail to send the text and it went away by itself by just restarting the app....

Let me know if you can find any more information....

Thanks,
Felipe
