Skype works well for me, no problems at all - even while plugged into my TV via HDMI or on mobile network.
First check your account details by logging on at the Skype website, if you're using it on a mobile network try wifi - some carriers don't like you using it instead of their calls.
Next try clear the app data in app manager, if that doesn't help then uninstall and reinstall the whole app.
Failing all that you would have a problem with your particular phone, have you applied all the Samsung updates released in your country and not disabled any vital services? Return to a fully stock ROM, factory reset etc.

and keep in mind that Skype takes a painfully long time to load

It happened to me few times but every time it was some strange Android issue (ICS & JB). Factory Reset and fresh ROM always fixed all issues.
Did you try full wipe and flash rom again?

[Q] Weird Problem with Google Play

Hey guys, I hope you can help me... I have a really weird problem....
When I try to download an App through Google Play, it stays in "Downloading" but nothing happens, it just stays there "downloading" for ever. The % bar doesn't even appear. The thing is that this only happens when I'm using Mobile Data... when I use Wi-Fi it downloads without a problem.
- I've tried Cleaning cache and data from Google Play but it doesn't fix it.
- I've tried different Roms (full wipe), and I have the same problem.
- Everything works fine... Mail, Browser, Facebook, Twitter, etc, so I thing it's NOT a Mobile Data problem.
- I'm using Hydrogen's latest ICS
I'm desperate, so any help would be welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers
You are using an ICS ROM? The use search function, if you are on gingerbread try to wipe cache and dalvik cache this solved it for me.

What do you mean by "use the search function"?
I tried searching apps in Google Play and everything works fine until it starts downloading, then I get the same problem
This happens sometimes to me too i just restart the download or restart the phone it usually fixes this

Hmm..
1.Did you run any history-memory cleaner?Some days ago after running Clean Master with playstore history checked,I encoutered download error too so I wiped dalvik and cache and everything was back to normal.
2.Do you have any firewall that blocks downloading?
3.Or any other setting that prevents donwloading apps when your connection is via 3G?
4.Are you sure that this is not a bug of your rom?Check its forum.
5.What is your error description?
I am having the same problem... Shows the start page for the TOS and then jumps to either google search webpage or a web page showing the TOS. No option to agree to anything or install the app again. You can click on the play store but it just goes to the website and not the actual app. What the heck is going on?
Mine too now I can't even find the app even if I download an apk version help

I once had similar issue, I could not download apps from Google Play.
I fixed it by removing all Google accounts and then reboot and signin again.
Not sure if it's same issue but try it.
Got it I had to reset apps first. I'm a noob and had disabled it trying to fix it. After that removing and rebooting. Then resigning in worked great

[Q] Gaming and app Issues with s3 i9300

Hello friends,
I am facing issue with my galaxy s3, the mobile is never rooted and runs on samsung official 4.1.2 jellybean firmware
The problem with my mobile is some of the games and apps keeps restarting again and again not allowing me to play or use them
Examples like asphalt 7 , cut the rope.etc.....and my phone sometimes stuck and restart as well.
I have tried doing factory reset even then it didn't work, I have taken to samsung service centre but the problem still continues.
One more problem with my mobile is like I can't send the files using wifi direct but I can receive the files.
Any help regarding my issues will be appreciated.

Flash another stock rom after wiping ur SD card and external sd card adnd internal memory, after that try installing a custom rom after u root ur S3 and see the difference.

That option would have unchecked itself after reboot... Was you turning that option on every time you turned on your phone?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
No it would still be checked even after reboot. ..that option will be unchecked if you do it manually or do a factory reset.

youtube not working since updating to jelly bean

I updated my l9 to the official Indian jelly bean few days back and since then youtube app fails to play any videos over wifi. Wifi and internet otherwise works perfectly fine on the device. Even in the youtube app I can search, look up videos within my subscriptions fine , just can't play anything over wifi. I get the error - "problem while playing touch to retry". Works fine over 3G though.
I have rebooted the phone and wifi modem/router multiple times which didn't help. I also uninstalled all the updates for the youtube app still no help. Reinstalled the youtube updates still same problem
Has anyone else faced similar problem since updating to jelly bean?

Try doing a "Force stop" on the app, "Clear data" and "Clear cache".

Are you rooted? If yes, XDA will help, if no LG Service Center will help.

I haven't rooted my phone yet. The only reason I am reluctant to contact lg service center because I think they may not consider this as a phone/device problem. But I will try that eventually.
I feel if I could reinstall the youtube app it might help but then I'm not rooted and this app came pre-installed.
is there a way to remove pre-installed apps without rooting?

As I always say, XDA is not for lion-hearted people. Others should not even come here. :laugh: I am not rough and tough user and take good care of my phone, therefore I dont care about LG's warranty and thats because I am here on XDA.
Even if anything happens to my phone in future, I will take it as bad-luck, but till then my phone will live life to the fullest. :angel:
You can update YT, if it shows Update button. Otherwise No, if not rooted.
Same problem here. Literally tried everything. I'm gonna root the phone tomorrow and try removing with Ti Backup and installing separately. Hope that works...

Anyone found a solution? I have literally tried everything from flashing numerous times to contacting LG 5 times, changing WiFi settings, etc.
However, for me YouTube works on ICS and CM10.1. But ICS is too old for me so I'm forced to be on 20A. Roms from other regions don't work too. So hopefully LG will release an update soon or CM gets stable.

Well if the YouTube app isn't working. I quick fix would be to install Adobe flash player and use naked Brower, dolphin Brower or other non stock Brower. And view the page in desktop mode (YouTube.com)
Use this link to get the latest flash player

I just tried it and it worked fine with naked browser.

youtube is working again over wifi on my p765. I have been using the default router+modem(huwaei) provided by my ISP for last 7 years. Since it was an old model (54mbps, only b/g) I was planning to get a new one and finally I bought and configured the d-link 2750U and youtube started working again.
I still can't figure out what exactly made the difference because the old router was working perfectly fine all these years with various devices including my p765 before the jb update.
Anyways, alls well that ends well

So the router doesn't like jelly bean. We bought this router almost a year back. I think there's an old configuration which ICS and Cm are okay with but not stock jb. Thanks for updating.

It doesn't work at all with wifi and when streaming with my mobile connection videos buffer and just stop loading. im rooted and have the tmobile variant if anyone has any ideas were to go from here that would be great
I'm gonna try something soon, will report back if it works out.

So has it been like this from the beginning or it just happened? Have you tried it through a browser? Download flash player and try it that way. I'll try to upload mine when I get a chance.
You might not what to hear this, but try flashing a freshly download 20d, or flash the v21d

First factory reset, remove external sd card and test. If still the same then flash full stock rom with odin and factory reset again.
If still faulty then you have hardware fault.
