Hello! So I am not really tech savvy and when I got this phone I learned to press the phone button when making a phone call rather than the Skype call. Now whenever I try and make a phone call, the phone automatically opens up Skype and tries to start a video chat. Does anyone know how to turn this off? I have tried to mess with the settings to figure it out, but every time I log out of Skype it just logs me back in. I am just not sure why I can't make a simple phone call...? Help?! Thanks!
Oh no Katie913! A phone isn't very useful if you can't place a simple call. I did this myself once too. When you install Skype, you always see a prompt to pick between placing a normal call or Skype call. There's also a little box underneath to remember your selection. Silly me, I selected Skype and hit the little box to remember that. Good news is there's a really easy way to undo Skype as the default application. Home screen>Menu>Manage apps>All>find the Skype app>Clear data
You'll need to log into your Skype again the next time you open the app, but VOILA! The option to pick between Skype and a regular call should be back. Just select the box to remember your selection and the Phone app and you'll be all set.
And since you mentioned you're not too tech savvy, did you know we offer free Wireless Workshops online and at our stores to help make you a Droid genius? Here's more info: http://bit.ly/oc2kd5
