    How can I fix Skype?
    Reinstalled, removed proxy, reinstalled, removed proxy again, reinstalled, deleted everything about Skype on my PC, rebooted 20 times, flushed my DNS, and still it doesn't work. Details are correct.
    cwazy's solution is not welcomed.

    Meet 5 guys in greenland and you've met half the population, the other half is their wives.

    Grab the LG G2. It's a very cool phone and way better than the Moto E or G.

    Use different software instead?
    You could install it on your phone and use that while you try and come up with a better fix if you want to keep using skype.

    Phone has integrated Skype, and I really needed it on my desktop. Got it fixed somehow.

    I dont think its a secret that i am not a fan of skype. Its security history is dubious at best it has had some pretty major bugs that have made it very easy to ddos any one using the software very easily just by knowing the other persons skype name and the software was a resource hog the last time i used it, it may be better now, im not sure. I remember that my Nan had a celeron cpu in her old laptop, it lagged super bad because they had installed skype by default on the laptop, it was using ~50% cpu utilization at almost all times.

    So when it comes to voice chat i really dont mind what people use, as long as it isn't skype cause that software is not going near my pc any time soon providing i have the choice to keep it off my pc.

    Very good choice, I think you won't regret it. HTC flagships look so nice and reliable with that aluminium frame.

    But.. It's worse than the G2 and I probably could have stretched a bit and gotten an M8..

    If you got one for $150 though...

    1.7ghz quadcore snapdragon 600 plus an adreno 320. Plenty for anything in the android ecosystem.

    Only thing its missing really is an SD slot really. Would be nice if there were a few more mp in the camera, but its HTC's ultrapixel tech, should be damn well lit and in focus for a phone which can really make a huge boost in image quality.

    Yeah.. I bought a 32GB micro SD for my phone and now I can't really use it in anything other than my laptop with an SD adapter.

    microUSB (OTG) to microSD adapter.

    I actually have a USB thumb drive with a full size USB on one side and microUSB on the other that plugs straight into either my laptop or my windows tablet (which only has microUSB), also worked on my android phone but I didnt use it that way often.

    Took my girlfriend out to dinner, bank declined my card.

    It was their fault, they had some sort of an approval problem.

    I look poor now, thanks bank.

    Not as a permanent thing silly :p

    But stick it on a keychain. Might be handy for just quickly moving stuff off.


    Although I'm running 8gb internal storage and 8gb external without issue for my phone.

    And always take more than what you think you need, you never know when some price might change.

    But yeah, I've never once used a card while going out, always physical cash.

    I only use my card for online purchases. Always use cash when I'm out.
