[Q] WP8 Skype for Lumia 525 - Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I upgraded the Skype version 2.16.0.266 in Lumia 525 in which they have removed the option to login directly using Skype credentials. They are now forcing users to link Skype account with MS account which sucks. Can someone please provide an older version xap of Skype for WP8, in which we could login directly using Skype credentials without having to link the account with an Microsoft account?

Hey,
just need to log in at here and your account will be changed to your Microsoft account, then you can log in into app.

But WHY!

I don't want to do that. I want to use the older version of Skype in which linking was not necessary. If only someone who has not upgraded their Skype can extract and make the xap file available :fingers-crossed:

Sorry for asking, but what exactly is the reason behind still needing the Skype login and refusing to link it to your MS account? You need the MS account to use most the phone anyway...

The problem is choice

Skype PC app permits it, Skype android app permits it. Even the phones that declined to upgrade the WP8 Skype app are permitted to use Skype without linking. So why should I be forced to link?

Try a search online for "Skype XAP windows phone".

I would prefer to use a link tried by experts here, lest I might get some malware ridden file.

Can't get hotmail to work.

I have tried to make a new account, but afterwards it just forwards to the hotmail homepage. I want it to work with the integrated Outlook. And in the live program I'm using another account than hotmail to msn, so it won't do any good to check sync with email, when it's another account. What can I do?
It needs the config information. The easiest way to do it is with Windows Live for Windows Mobile. Search for WLM here or PM me & I'll send you a RS link. You want 10.6.033.2100 BTW.
Actually, I think you're SOL if you're already using WLM for another account. POP email isn't available for Hotmail accounts, only for MSN accounts.
unless you pay and upgrade to the 19.99 a year, you will not get POP access to any hotmail account
So my only solution is to pay up, or it will not work in outlook on TyTN?
I have it configured on my normal PC with no problems.
I just installed seven and it works great. I asked the same question on another board today.

Isn't there a plug for Outlook anyway? If you wanted to, just install it from Microsoft.
http://email.about.com/gi/dynamic/o...S74p5AsZCAG2yP5bLTnQvU6m2ivmwN3459c5fMw%3d%3d
And the seven solution for AT&T uses Xpress mail, which requires your Laptop to be On and Connected to the Network. What kind of crap is with the AT&T and Xpress mail?!
And good luck with the BETA program...

Okay, but can I install that link on my TyTN?
funny, i've never had problems w/ hotmail...... it's under windows live for my phone...
Okay, but my problems is, that when I log in to Live IM I don't use my hotmail account but another. Do you have a non hotmail Live IM account, and it still work?

What do you mean you login with another account? You have an IM account and another email account?
maybe pocket MSN will work for you
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/software/pocketmsn.mspx)
Any Windows enabled phone should come with the Live Messenger enabled.
On the MS web site, there a lots of apps
(http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/software/default.mspx)
The Windows Live app only allows for 1 Hotmail/MSN/Live accont to be signed in at once. If you have a separate ID/account you use for IM and another for email you will have to switch accounts back and forth. This will obviously be a huge hassle and not worth the effort.
I would recommend downloading another instant messenging app and using the Windows Live app for your email account. Unless you pay $19.99 /year you can not get Hotmail emails to work with the WM messaging clients without signing into the Windows Live app.
Hope that helps clarify things.
Yes it does But I would like to perhaps use Skype as voip and chat and IM as hotmail tjecker, but do I just install Skype or should I also be using some voip.cab to get it to work?
Thanks for your help.

True. However, I have gone on line & linked my Live & Hotmail ID's & have forwad set, so I get TWO accounts, one @live.com & one @hotmail.com accounts under one on my device.

Good call on linking IDs. I completely forgot that you could get your emails all in one inbox. The only problem I could see would be not having the right email address show up on messages you send from the phone.
Can you quickly describe how you linked them?

Remove Windows Live/Hotmail

In the touch flo Mail section, you have the different mail accounts. When I activated MSN, the program added the Windows Live/Hotmail account. I've removed it with a reg editor, but in the touch flow mail section, you still see the WL account. Does somebody know how to remove it?
I had the option to NOT choose for it when installing MSN Live ?

Yes, I did choose the no option, but the mail account was installed. Now I want to remove it completely.
I had no mail account created that way. Strange. Anyway, I really don't know how to get rid of it. I believe you could fix it in the registry.

To remove completlety the hotmail account, emails and the synchronized contacts from your book, you just need to change the windows live id thats logged in.
When you are asked to accept the new terms before you create a new account just "reject" and exit messenger.

Android - Outlook program

i'm moving from Windows Mobile to Android.
However i cannot afford to lose all my contacts just because stupid Android doesnt synchronize with Outlook!
So i really need a link to a program that either:
1) Synchronizes one's Android 2.3 Device with microsoft outlook
2) Synchronizes one's outlook with one's Gmail account
the program must be free (one way or another ), i dont want to have to pay even more money for something google should have taken care itself.
thanks a looooooooot to anyone who can locate that program for me, cuz i tryed and all i succeeded in was to find hollow posts and a program that you need to pay for
It has nothing todo with Android or Google
Outlook is an Exchange client, and email client and a PIM (personal information manager), not a mailserver
Android's mail client and contactlists synchs with mailservers that can be reached online - like Exchange - if you dont use Outlook as an Exchange client but as a local PIM only it has no way of syncing with a PIM which is only a local database of information on your PC.
Synching between local PIM's and your Android device can only be done by software on your PC and its not Google's or Android responsibility to provide synching software for your PC for every kind of PIM that exist. This is the responsibility of either the PIM manufacturer or third partys, like phone manufacturers or others. In case of an LG phone synch software is supplied with LG PC Suite, install this and you will be able to synch between Outlook and your phone (not between Outlook and Gmail)
Exporting your outlook contacts to Gmail is very simple if you just want this
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/o...ook-contacts-to-google-gmail-HA001148902.aspx
I highly recommend you start using Gmail as PIM instead of Outlook - atleast if you want an Android/Google phone and integration with this.
Once you've set up Gmail on your device, I suggest you use the free Outlook Connector. It now supports office 2010 (although not the 64-bit variety). That way, your Outlook e-mail (assuming you use your Gmail e-mail either as Pop or IMAP within outlook) and calendar are synced.
Or, if you prefer the 64-bit flavor of Outlook, you can do what I did: I use this program called gSnycit (it's paid software, though) and I use it to merge my data between the Google cloud and my PC/desktop. It's really useful too; by using it, I have the same e-mail across multiple android phones and even my 4th gen ipod touch.

If you want to sync your MS Outlook directly without Google, there should three possibilities/applications which are available legally for free:
1) LG Sync (don't know where to get, pls look at the LG webpage)
2) MyPhoneExplorer (Here)
3) Funambol (Here)
Cheers

I would rekomend that you yet Touchdown for android 2.2 does everything you are asking for at a low price..

Outlook to Android synchronisation
There is quick developpimg official tool: Android-sync. (As well as I am new here, it is not allowed for me to post a link - so, just add dot com to the "android-sync" and you are there)
It is free, syncing well android with Outlook - not finished.
So far it is syncing contacts (without pics/photos) without any issue, and calendar.
Authors promise to complete this tool with notes and tasks - it started somewhen in this January having cca 3-4 weeks period for new version...
I use it without any issue
LG sync ?3 on stock mobile does this really well. I was also worried about thistoo, but I am syncing at home and work outlook contacts and calander via this. Its on your internal SD card. downloadable too i think.
thank you all for your support!
i consider my question answered

Unable to add an exchange email account, with a self certificated certificate. (SSL).

I recieved my new Nokia Lumina 920. I was some what disgruttled to find that i was unable to add, my companies email account using a self signed certificate. On my Android mobile using the same certificate, everything is added and works perfect.
What is so diffierent using Windows phone 8, using self signed certificate. And if there is a fix, can you let me know how to install it correctly.
The following error message appears when sync takes place
"There is a problem with the certificate for (domain name) contact your support person or your service provider. Last tried 5 minutes error code 80048888"
Exchange version : Exchange 2010
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I know this will not help but, I did this myself to setup an Exchange 2003 server with a Self signed cert, I had no problem installing it (downloaded it via a hotmail account and just touched it to open it/install it)
I have done this on 7.5 and 8.0 with no problems at all. A problem with your cert ? Is it expired ?
Make sure you reboot your phone after you install the Cert, I had that issue with 7.5, it would not see it till a reboot...

Hi David
Thanks for coming back to me, I have tried what you have suggested however I'm still not getting my exchange 2010 to sync with my Nokia 920. Just wondering, your CERT was it a paid version or was it a self cert. Mine is a self cert does that make a difference. Please help me.
Thanks in advance..

Your phone should honor the Exchange CAS Server's certificate if you install the certificate of the CA which issued the certificate for the server.
And keep in mind that the principle name in the certificate should match the DNS name that your are using to connect to the server.
You will have to install the public key certificate of the CA issuing your self signed certificate. The certificate itself won't be enough as it can't be verified as when the phone checks up the path of trust it won't recognize the signing certificate. Hope that makes sense?

Hi Guys, you have solved my problems. Excellent support keep it up. I eventually exported the public key and installed it directly into the phone now my Nokia 920 works beautifly. One more question, I did get an error 85030028 and googling this said to go into IIs, click on active sync, then select SSL and tick ignore client certs... is that the correct way to active sync.. well the main thing is the phone is syncing as normal.
Thanks again

Mine was a self-signed cert, Not paid. One of the free tools from Microsoft or a 3d party... This is from my own personal exchange server.
Glad to see you got it working...

Haven't dealt with this myself but I guess it is possible that the phone tried to authenticate using one of the certificates you installed previously instead of using the credentials you provided but it's really just a guess. As long as SSL is still enabled the encryption should work and I see no issues with the setup.
If the setting causes ActiveSync to sync over HTTP instead of HTTPS that would be a concern so I would check if that is the case.

[Q] Lumia 928 and Mail Error 80004005

Hello guys,
I have a Lumia 928 which is experimenting issues after some days ago specifically with Yahoo email.
Error is 80004005, it does not sync and download the emails.
I have tried deleting the account , setting it again as yahoo, as "Other email", writing manually IMAP servers and ports, but the problem still continue, I even restarted the phone, but everything continue in the same way.
I have read some info related to this error, but apparently it come for several reasons, so weird. In reality and there is no one solution for this error in the phone, i have seen some solutions for this in the PC.
My Lumia already is running GDR3, and the email was working so good, except that 3 days ago or so, started with this issue. I have installed the GDR3 forcing the phone to do that, I had previously the Lumia Amber... then throught the "Phone for Developers" app, I updated to GDR3
Any ideas to solve this issue?
I give more sure there is problem with yahoo, or what ever you calling it. Wrong email settings you setup. I recomend you forward all incoming emails to live/hotmail/outlook.
Is the Yahoo account linked/synced through your Microsoft account? If not try adding the account to Outlook or Live or whatever the hell they are calling it now. I currently have email through my service provider that syncs flawlessly to my phone but it is also synced through my live account when I access Outlook through a web browser or the Windows 8 app on pc. It is configured as a separate pop 3 account on my 928 and am able to send and receive from that account no problem. Not sure if it makes a difference or not but can't hurt.
Yeah that's definitely odd. Does this happen when on WiFi or Cell Data?
