Skype doesn't work after upgrade to ICS

Hello, after I've upgraded to ICS yesterday Skype stopped to work. Everything looks like OK: I can start Skype -> Login -> from Skype pov I'm online but nobody else see me as connected to Skype network.

I've tryied connect through 3G and WiFi - the same result. No actual connection. On previous version of android everything with Skype worked well.

Any ideas or the same behaviour?

Thank you.

Indeed, check the thread you could backup your current firmware and flash ICS then once it's available in your country flashback

Had this problem, and was fixed by un-installing and re-installing Skype.

Some list what you could perform:

  1. Reboot Xperia S
  2. Reinstall Skype
  3. Repair your phone with SUS (look on some post above)
  4. Hardware reset the device and setup all applications from the scratch (be sware that hrdware reset cleans up all your data)

i own an Xperia S and before ICS update skype was wokring fairly well with an occasional crash or login issue....after ICS update it is completeley gone...and everytime gives the same error

Skype has stopped working.....would you like to sign in again or exit Skype ?

i have a very heavy use of skype and have tried installing it again and again older versioons as well as repairing rebooting but doesn't help. Its useless now

please help... if their is any new version or update coming for skype fix or any other option
