Windows 8 skype app problem - Windows 8 General

So I installed windows 8 and installed the skyp app from the app store everything went good it works. I can call and everything. Then I made another windows user account for my son and installed the skype app and evry time I open it it will close. Like I click it it loads up and as soon as its done loading where u can see ur fav people it closes. I drag my mouse to the top left and it shows skype is open I click it and it loads then closes... I don't know what could be wrong since it works on my account just fine. I have tryed uninstall and reinstall don't work I gave him administrator privileges that don't work I even deleated his account and made another one it it still closes... any ideas?

you have to configure the market on your son acc. and download skype again.. the metro apps, i believe, storage the data in users folder.. i have 3 acc and in 2 of them skype metro App.. but i have to have installed twice to work.
sry for my english ^^

The "run in the background" behavior of Skype may not be compatible with multiple accounts using it at once. Make sure you closed Skype on your other account (or fully log out the account) before trying to use it on your son's account. If that doesn't fix the issue, open the settings for Skype and disable the background stuff. Then try again.
It *might* be possible to leave the bg stuff enabled on one account, but not any others? I haven't tried. That *might* mot be the issue at all. If you have Visual Studio, you can try using its debugger to see what the problem is (it has an option for debugging installed Store apps). That might not work with Skype though; it usually hasa bunch of anti-debugger stuff in it.

GMAIL Mobile APP certificate error on T-mobile WM6

Has anyone figured out how to solve the issue with the Gmail mobile Java app and the "Your phone doesn’t have the appropriate certificate to communicate with Gmail" error?
I used to have a motorola razr, and the app worked just fine, so it's not T-mobile blocking me ... but rather something in WM6.

Actually, i just tried this the other day with My Wing, and I had no issues. But, I have had issues before when I was using the Standard T-Mobile ROM. Currently I am using the Touch-IT Rom.
As an FYI for anyone having problems with the stock TMO rom's ... after installing the PDAVIET TouchFlo rom, the GMAIL app works flawlessly, but I had to install the java from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1483665&postcount=24
i prefer to check it from PIE. my homepage is set up as google and it includes GMail (showing last 5 emails) as well as a few other blogs. Checking for new mail without even logging in makes it very quick, just load up PIE. I gave up with the gmail app a while ago...
Yeah, I have google setup as my homepage too... which is nice, but I like the ability to use the gmail app since it has more off the options you would get on the actual site.
Plus there's that whole "hell yeah" feeling you get when you finally get something to work that been making you crazy for the past 2 months! haha... similiar to my getting the resized mms problem fixed.
great results!
Have to verify duprade - I am running a stock wing and simply installed the cab, started that version of Java and ran the Gmail mobile app (no cert prompt or anything.....)
--paklids.
Glad you got it working. I was certainly relieved when I got it to work.... funny thing is I barely use it ... I just want it to work when I do need it.
I actually got this to work by downloading the file on my phone. When it tried to run it, i got the cert error. but i opened esmertec jbed, went to menu, install, local file and it finds the gmail file. Click gmail in the list and it will start the install.
Working fine for me now. You do have to hit yes a few times for it to connect...but this should work. let me know.
I do this also, but the only problem is that it does not display attachments, such as photos. Any ideas on how to fix that?
Thanks.

Facebook Issue

After I installed the new Facebook for android application (1.5.1) on my DHD device I can not check my notifications.
Every time I launch the facebook application it tells me there was an error "connection reset by peers".
Any solutions ?
Maybe try to delete cache for facebook
I tried deleting data and cache and still does not work.
Update: Uninstalling the update and going back to the older version. All notification working properly
Still need to find a solution to get the notifications and syncing issues solves on the new version.
so i am using the older facebook application version because the new version give me the same error "connection reset by peer".
do u know how to downgrade back to the 1.5version?
To uninstall the updates. Goto applications -> select facebook -> u'll have a button saying un-instal updates.
This should push u back to v1.5.0

So is it solved now?
Update:
The new facebook application works fine of Wifi. Receive all notifications and updates.
It is only on Mobile(3G) internet that the facebook application shows me the error.
I get the same error pretty frequently. I usually just log on to Facebook using Dolphin Browser.
The Facebook Android app needs a lot of work to catch up to the Apple version.

I hate that I can't upload pics to someone's wall. I can do it on the iPhone...
And I have a problem with showing notifications but they won't go away after checking them.
i got the same problem with version 1.5.1 ("Connection reset by peer")
i also tried deleting cache and so on. did not help.
version 1.5 is working good, but it does not have chat, like 1.5.1
so i want 1.5.1 to work.
i've got the problem since two days now. i was using 1.5.1 before and everything worked well, but suddenly it did not -.-
if someone finds a solution, please post it
still no solution so far. Works perfectly fine on Wifi. Its only on 3G network that the notifications don't show up.

PUSH Notifications for Facebook Fix!

Yes! Finally we have Push notifications for Facebook AND Twitter After the new facebook update, you might have noticed you are forced to have your facebook sync every 5, 10, 30 etc. minutes? Yeah, drove me insane too. Well there is now a fix. This is not my software. But it WORKS! and thats all that matters right? Make sure you check the "Unknown Sources" tab in Settings -> Application BEFORE you download to allow you to install this app. Browse this link below on your andorid device, download the small .APK, and install. Simple as that. Let me know if it works for you! Also, follow me on twitter @rosenbachera

Very Easy to do! Go to that website on your laptop/desktop, download the apk to your desktop, connect your phone as usb storage, drag it over to the root of the storage, or a folder if you choose. then go to your android, in the app list click files, then on phone, navigate where you saved it, press on in, and voila! And after the beta is done and it goes vo ver 1.x, then hopefully on the market
seems like a good idea and will give it a try, shouldn't they put this into the Twitter and Facebook App though?
UPDATE
Get an error when confirming second password
"Sorry some error occured"
Also my Twitter and Facebook passwords are different but it only asks for email, username and password so can't enter different passwords for Twitter and Facebook?

Can't get IM app to work

I have a stock never rooted samsung galaxy 2's im app to work. It will not even let me enter any information. When opening it crashes. Any ideas why?
Samsung not ready to use that app just yet. Maybe still setting up the server?
Works for me. Try setting it up via the Social Hub under "menu" and "add accounts." It support Windows Messenger, Google Talk, and Yahoo! Messenger. If you're using something else that might be why it's not working.

I tried that also and I just get an error message. Only with the im apps though.
Do a hard reset. Like I said, it works fine for me. Do you have any other messaging apps installed that might be conflicting? Maybe try setting it up when you're connected to Wi-Fi.
Ive done a hard reset and i am on wifi. its freaking me out
Does anyone have the apk? I have tried everything but that to get it to work.

Doesn't work for me either, either using the IM app or trying to add via the Social Hub app.
I get an error everytime.

Google music not syncing with phone

Not sure whats going on but it will not see any songs that I uploaded from my PC (2000 songs). There is no button to "sync" the device in either the Music app or in settings/account/gmail. I've installed the app 3 times with the same results. Is there a trick or something? Running GB 2.3.3
Silly question, but did you try a reboot? I have heard that has helped some.

Yes I have, many times
GOT IT!!!
Downloading the app from the market via the phone gave me the problem. I removed the app then from my laptop I pushed the install via the market website and then everything worked. very odd.
Odd indeed

I noticed I have to give it some time to sync after I install it. Also there IS a check box in android accounts settings to enable syncing.
Yup. Enable syncing. I use the power control widget so I only sync when I'm listening to my music.

I've noticed that if it does not sync right away (or after a few hours), Then clear the data on the Google music app. To do so: Go to settings>Applications>Manage Applications and find Google music, then select clear data. Once that is finished go back into Google music and you should be able to pull up the menu and select settings. Then just select your gmail account again and it should start syncing almost immediately.

thats exactly what i have to do too. have to do it just about every time i install music beta.
Yea, I'm having issues too. Shouldn't Music come up in Account & Sync in settings? I don't seem to have it listed anymore.
Thanks. Clearing data fixed the problem.
Just for anyone else having a problem, an issue I ran into was everytime I flashed a new nightly for CM7, it counted as a new device being added to my account. Eventually I was maxed out on allowed devices (think it might be 8 but don't remember) and it wouldn't sync new songs for me anymore. I had to clear the devices from the music beta page itself to fix the problem.

That worked for me. I can sync again. Thank you!
I think the Google music app sucks. Thats right, it sucks.
I have tried deleting the app from my phone and my pc, then reloading.
What happens to me is when I reload everything, it syncs the same old songs. I have deleted them from everywhere, changed the folder, deleted the folder and created a new one.....same music.....that doesnt exist any more. When I select the folder to sync, it shows the correct number of songs for the new folder but then syncs a different number.....and music that doesnt even exist on my CPU anymore.
Makes no sense to me.
Also, theres no way to delete or hide a song on my device. I know theres a menu choice to hide unavailable but that doesnt work either.
Severe FAIL on Google. BOOOOOOOOOOOO
I had this problem a lot. After installing Music from the Market place, go into App Management and "Clear Data". When you load Music again, it will have a settings menu now to select your account. Although, I think this issue was fixed on newer GB versions because I didn't have to do it when I fresh installed on .605.
Just another Android glitch
"I've noticed that if it does not sync right away (or after a few hours), Then clear the data on the Google music app."
I just crossed over to Android and got the GS2. Figured I'd get one of the flagship devices. I figured Android must be good; it's so popular.
I've never used a phone with so many work-arounds, glitches... needed to download so many programs just for a loud & repeating calendar alarm... stores photos to 10 different folders.
Now I have to clear data for every sync I want to do w/ my clouded music? Why didn't I just get an iPhone? The bigger question is, how is it that Android has repeat customers? Maybe Android buyers are all first-time smartphone users and don't know any better. These types of bugs and glitches common to Android are not standard far on iPhone or even my older Nokia N-Series and BlackBerrys.
