Skype crashes on app launch - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've tried to download many versions of skype but none of them seem to work.
When I open it up it shows the logo and a transition to show the login options. It doesn't quite make it to the login options as it automatically seems to close itself before it can.
Anyone had this problem?

I only tried with youtube, these other apps I dont will use and dont try with these. and I uninstalled it, these apps appears like youtube app in titanium backup
edit: I tried install google voice and google earth and no problem for me
I had a same problem on my Nexus S, what I did was, I navigated to /system/app/ folder on my phone with ES File Explorer, found the YouTube.apk and reinstalled it from there!
PS. Android Market and my phone showed the application as installed, and all options were greyed out (Open, Install, Uninstall)!
I fixed it with ep file explorer. Fix the youtube app
But still have problems with voice recorder thinkfree office and others that wont install and show up in my menu.

I had to do this several times because it kept getting messed up. Couldn't uninstall it normally but it didn't open.

But with titanium backup you need root access what i dont have. Then it isnot possible?

Try downloading an uninstaller app from the market.

What is that? Can you give me a name of one?

I cannot uninstall it with a free app. Google vpice or thinkfree are not even visible.
I can only see these apk files with ep file.explorer

My odd solution:
-Download GApps from Rom Manager...or wherever
-Flash GApps via recovery
-Reboot (Still no YouTube...)
-Go to Market
-Re-install Youtube from Market
When my YouTube "disappeared", it "appeared" in the Market as installed but the Open and Unistall buttons were greyed out. The icon in the drawer and the widget option were both gone.
I don't have that Think Free Office icon either in the apps drawer, but the TFO is installed in my phone. I was little bit confused about that thing, but now I see it's a common issue...?
I find it in xoom forum,thought it might help
If you have had a problem with the missing YouTube and/or Google Books applications, we have a workaround you can try.
Connect to WiFi network. (So far it looks like only WiFi Xooms have had this issue. Let me know if you have this on a Verizon Xoom.)
Go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
Go to the "All" tab and then scroll down and select "Google Partner Setup."
Clear Data.
Reboot your Xoom. (That is, turn it off and on.)
If this doesn't work, perform a factory reset (Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset) and try the sequence above again.
Please let me know how if this works for you.

How? Was it the suggestion to clear data from the Google Partner Setup or something else?

AdBlock and open Wi-Fi agreement?

I notice that when I try to connect to a commercial open wifi like at an airport or McDonald's, I will see my browser open for like a split second then close. I'm pretty sure this is the page that asks me to agree with wifi regulations. This often results in me not being able to use the wife even though it's connected. Is this an adblock issue? Is there a fix other than turning adblock off entirely?

have you tried a different browser like chrome or dolphin. I usually have this when I stay at a hotel, I open the browser in a new tab to agree with T&C and then just leave that tab alone, open a new one and browse from there.
That's the problem. I can't get to the T&C screen. I see the open wifi (for example at Target) Then just after it connects, the browser will flash open for a split second then close. Then when I try to open a new tab or browser window, it won't open to a T&C page, and thus I cannot use the wifi even though I'm connected. I'm assuming this has something to do with adblock, but I can't find the option to shut it off (assuming it's a problem with adblock). Any suggestions?

What adblocking software are you using? (i.e. browser extension or an app that modifies the hosts file, like AdFree)
I usually get a "sign in to wifi network" notification that I can tap to open the new tab with the T&C page.
I have sacs rom and I see "adaway" in the "manage apps" screen, but I don't see a shortcut to it in the apps drawer or in any of the settings. So I don't know how to adjust it.
I don't get a click to sign in notification, maybe that is turned off some how.

If you installed comadose that is likely what is doing it, it has a built in ad blocker

Talking Moto x

Hey guys,
I have this problem on my 2013 Moto x that since this morning it started talking like the accessibility settings were on and also putting an orange line in a Google search result page. I've checked the accessibility settings and talk back is off, also checked out other sound related settings without result. Restarting the phone doesn't help. Can anyone help me with this problem, cause it's not only really annoying but the talking also comes when the phone is silent (and yes, I did check Google now settings too) witch is even more annoying cause I can't have my phone on at work. Hopefully you can help me out.

Even if Talkback is off in the accessibility services, try turning it on and back off again to see if that helps. Sometimes there is a disconnect between the actual state and the displayed state. This sounds exactly like Talkback, from what you described.
Tried to do that, didn't work. Sorry I didn't mentioned it before.

Maybe this will help. For as far as I noticed, I only have the problem in feedly and the Google search bar

How to access mobile yelp site without downloading Yelp app?

When I click a yelp link for a particular restaurant to check out photos and reviews it directs me to the Playstore to download the Yelp app. I just want to access the mobile yelp site. Is this possible?
Wow, even trying to access trip advisor or other sites directs me to their damn app on playstore. This is extremely annoying.
Any freaking link via Google directs me to the damn playstore if there is an app remotely connected to the site of said link. I'm about to return this phone if this isn't solved. Never had this issue with my G3.

Well moving to Firefox and installing adblockplus add on fixed this really stupid issue. The UC Browser adblocker and the Samsung Internet browsers don't work though.

I'm experiencing the exact same thing with multiple websites and this is extremely annoying. This is definitely NOT a feature. Even if it was on purpose, this is a BUG. I DO NOT want to download every app for every website that has one just to view the website. Please fix this Samsung! This is ridiculous.
edit: I'm also on T-mobile
Yeah, so far I'm not really impressed with the S7 Edge coming from my LG G3. My palm constantly touches the edge which prevents orher touch inputs. Typing is messy and too sensitive. Samsung putting the access settings menu on long press back button is idiotic. Having to have the Assistant Menu button on my screen 24/7 to counter this is annoying. Root may fix this issue but who knows. Now I have to use Firefox for all browsing to just not be redirected to the Playstore when clicking pretty much any link. Just not impressed and may return this device. Too many hindrances for a smooth experience.

Can't turn off 'ok google'

This has been causing me problems for weeks now.
In the Google settings I have all voice settings turned off but the Google search bar still pops up with 'say ok google' and it still works even on other pages.
It's as though it's completely ignoring the settings and stuck on the from any page setting.
Anyone have any possible ideas for fixes?

Try to clear data of Google Now if possible.
Otherwise try to uninstall Google Now and re-install the latest version
I've tried both of those as a first step and it still happens.
Really quite annoying as I'm pretty sure it's causing considerable battery drain.
Only thing I can do for now is deny the microphone permission for google now but this also prevents android auto from using voice commands. And it still says it's activated on the search bar
