My issues range from the app randomly shutting down, to it taking multiple attempts to login, having to usually put your password in, to contacts not showing up.
Is anyone else having problems like this? What can I do. It's happened on stock and two other debloated ROMs. What can I do?

I just tried Skype for the first time, and video calling didn't work. I haven't used it enough to get any of those other issues.
Well it works fine for me but the video chat randomly freezes every 20 mins or so.
But other then that it works fine.

i get multi login and it wont log in unless i reboot the phone
Skype not quite working here either
I'm also having touble with it. Multiple logins, crashes, sometimes need to put the password in, at times can't even use the skype testing service; or it will be online and my contacts seem to be online but I can't IM them, anything I write gets stuck being sent with the message "pending". Rebooting sometimes works for a bit before it starts happening again.
I wonder what ROMs you are all using, and if perhaps some other background app/ service is conflicting. I've had pretty smoothe experience while using rooted/debloted ROMs.

Is anyone else experiencing skype problems?
Since "upgrading" to GS3 from GS2, Skype, one of the apps I use most often, has gone from good to awful.
Multiple logins, can't call, online when offline, offline when online, you name it.
For a commercial app it has to be one of the most buggy i've ever tried and honestly seems to be getting worse. i'm on the most up to date one with latest official samsung OS.
Yes , i am also have same problem with Skype. I tried different roms and only FeeGS3 with trinity alfa50 working without any problem.

Been having a weird issue with my phone lately. I'm rooted, s-off, running stock 2.2, no custom kernel.
Lately what will happen is my phones 3G won't work for loading pages, apps, streaming video as it'll be stuck "uploading". By that I mean the upstream arrow will either stay lit or blink. I've tried to pin point an app that would be doing it with no success. It'll do it for a minute sometimes two then work normally. Seems to happen most often when I wake the phone. Any thoughts?

Hmm, sounds like it might be some app, or service phoning home and hanging. Try using a process manager app to see if you can detect which apps and services are running when your phone is doing that. Try killing all nonessential services, then see if the condition persists. If no, then reactivate one service at a time until it does. If the problem persists after killing all nonessential services, have a look at running processes, and kill any that seem suspicious. Once you know which app, service l, or process is the offending party, try uninstalling the related app.
Hope that's helpful.

So after a few weeks of trying, killing apps or processes does nothing to stop the issue. Its very random when it happens and when it does I can do nothing that uses 3G.
Anyone else have an idea?

Sorry you're still having trouble
Hi Phaded,
Sorry that my suggestion yielded no positive results for you. If you've killed all non-essential services and processes, and it's still appears to be "uploading," something is definitely not right. I don't think it's PRL, but I personally don't know enough about how the radio works to say for sure.
At this point, you could try a different ROM. If you don't already have it, I recommend ROM Manager root. It's totally worth the $ and is available on Android Market. It makes trying different ROMs really easy.
Trying a new ROM would also effectively reinstall your radio, which might do the trick. Before you flash a new ROM, do a nandroid backup from recovery, and backup your apps with Titanium Backup, which is another must-have, IMO.
If all else fails, RMA? It could be hardware... A genius with this stuff I am not, but I have beaten my head against many a wall..
Good luck!
I installed Virtuous 3.1 last night and so far so good. Going to keep an eye out for the rest if the day so hopefully it is fixed.

24 hours and no issue with it. This was a multiple time a day occurrence so safe to say it resolved itself.

Congrats Phaded!
Welcome to the ranks of the Virtuous! Glad to hear it's resolved.
Now you've got ROM Manager, you can safely try a host of different ROMs and themes. I recommend the Revolutions theme on top of Virtuous - it's very pretty.

Having same "stuck in upload mode" issue
I have a non-rooted, stock G2 (from T-Mobile) running Android 2.2.
Every day, as many as twenty or thirty times per day, the phone gets stuck in "upload" mode. The data icon shows that data is uploading (or trying to) and I am unable to use any data-related services (whether tethered or on the phone itself). When it happens it can last anywhere from 10 seconds to 5 minutes. The only way I can forcibly stop it is to completely shut down the radio by toggling airplane mode off then on, forcing the phone to reacquire a data signal.
I've tried resetting the phone, deleting every app, reinserting the SIM card, and even formatting the SD card. Nothing seems to work to solve the issue.
My two main concerns are that 1) I can't reliably download apps, check mail, send pics/videos, or other data-related processes. 2) I'm concerned that if something IS uploading, it may be uploading a LOT and adding to my 5GB per month throttle-cap on T-Mobile.
I've ended every endable process, and killed or uninstalled every app possible (I can't seem to remove bloatware without rooting, which I'm not yet eager to do as this phone is less than 60 days old, and I'm otherwise happy with it as is).
Any suggestions or recent information as to why this is occurring?
A few days ago my Facebook app was loading pages super slowly, taking a minute or more to even load them. This isn't unusual, as the Facebook app sucks. I normally just switch to the mobile site and carry on. The thing is, the mobile site is loading super slowly too, and not just that, if I use Opera and force load the full site, even THAT is super slow. This is the only website that I'm having any problems with at all and it's happening regardless of my current connectivity state (wifi, 3g and 4G - its not discriminating.) I've searched the web and not seeing anyone else have this issue and it's continued on a trip I just took from KY to Chicago so I am absolutely stumped. Everything else, including all other websites are working perfectly. Does anyone have a clue what could be wrong?
I have the same issues. I can't even post a status from the app. More than likely it has to do with the roll out of the timeline profile. Its slowing don't their servers

Still having the same issue. Not happening to my girlfriend on the mobile or my work partner on sprint. Any suggestions?
Was having thisenissues until last night. Everything is now working at a normal speed although notifications are still not working for me (since 182 update)
force stop the app then restart the app this normally works
It's just the app. I'm on my home Wi-Fi and it hasn't gotten any faster. Never expect good things from Facebook. Period.

I looked through and only found a thread from the previous forums that talked about this with no apparent fix.
I'm having an issue where I will occasionally have my messages fail, even with full signal. The message will go grey after an attempt to send and then show an exclamation point for the fail. Sometimes it allows me to send if I go into airplane mode, which for some reason will take a long time sometimes, and then turn off air plane mode. That usually fixes the issue. I can also just try and resend and it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I'm afraid that if after like four times that I get the fail on the same message that I did indeed send it all those times like some people have suggested. It happens to texts that are short and long. I've tried connecting to wifi when it happens at my place, but that doesn't necessarily fix it either.
I don't know if when this is happening if I can receive phone calls, but that would probably be something I should try if I'm out with some friends when it happens.
Anyone else experienced this, or know of something that could possibly fix it?

What ROM are you on?
That happens to me sometimes too. Even when its still sending like it has that loading bubble next to the message the other person will receive it. I've had that happen where i got a reply for my message which according to the messaging app was not yet sent.
But yeah its quite annoying when it happens. WiFi calling feature does not help either. I use the airplane trick like you said and it usually works.

This happens to me also about once a day. I can be right in the middle of a conversation and it will just stop sending even if im on wifi.
So I'm guessing no one has a fix for this or any ideas on why it happens.

I may try setting my smsc manually, but yesterday I spoke with technical support and explained to them that I've been having this problem on both sgs3 handsets I've had and that the only thing that seems to work for me is going into airplane mode and back.
She reset my provisions on my account/phone or whatever and told me to see if that works. I'm going to go ahead and wait till it happens again before I change anything.

Might be it is sync ur gallery with fb photos. Uninstall app and reinstall.

solution!!!
I don't know you already fix this problem or not.
I searched several site and finally got an answer for this problem.
Just connect WiFi and let it do whatever it want.
Before I found this, I tried several things;
1. restarted my phone
2. pulled out battery and put back
3. killed the process from task manager
4. removed FB account
5. removed FB app from my phone (actually, back to previous version) and update again
Non of these helped me ever!!!
Also, this problem is not device specific. (I realize it after googling it)
I mean various devices and locations had the same issue.
Anyway, good luck!!!

Thanks. Connecting it to wifi did allow it to finish the unending installation very quickly. That was annoying and I'd like to know why an update initiated on its own, seemingly from within the app and not through the Play store (I do not have any auto-updates allowed, especially for social media apps), and drained my battery while it looped an install process that was apparently constantly seeking a wifi signal to complete.
Thanks a lot!!

I started having this issue today on my Galaxy Tab 2. The only solution people found on different forums is ti turn on WiFi. It'll immediately start downloading and would get installed (Probably due to its size it does not want to be downloaded on 3G/4G). Although I don't feel very comfortable installing this, Does not feel very genuine to me.
Did any one else had this problem? or any issues after installing it?
I had to switch to Wifi about 3 or 4 times and then it finally downloaded. It tried to download all of last night and killed the battery. In the mean time my phone has switched to using Edge instead of 4g and no matter how many times I switch Airplane mode on/off or restart the phone I can't get my 4g back. Think it is just a local problem? I've got a S3 on T-mobile in Orange County, CA.
Ok so I'm using my free trial of play music all access and I love it but question, when I select to "Keep Music on Device" and it says it's downloading, does that mean I get to keep it permanently? Even after the trial is up?

No. Only music you buy is kept. However, if you are a music addict like I am, the 9 bucks is worth it. If you don't renew your subscription, your music will disappear. If you start using all access again, your music will come back.

I just flashed back to stock today, and I have noticed that Play Music is better, but I still have issues. It will let me play a few songs (I got through 5) and I get the Music Playback Error. When I try to resume, it gives me the error immediately, but if I rewind the song, it allows me to play a few more songs.
I am going to try and disable caching and see how that affects it.
All of my testing thus far has been on Wifi (20Mbps fiber connection), so it definitely is not an internet issue.
Yeah the errors started up again for me too, but much more infrequently. Still frequent enough to be a huge nuisance though

I have logged a case with Google Play Support. They had me go through clearing app data, etc. Of course, this didn't work, so they asked for a logcat. I sent them two logs showing multiple occurrences of the error.
So far, they have been very responsive. I sent the ticket in yesterday evening and got a response within 15 minutes. Hopefully, their engineering team can figure out what is going on from my logcats.
