Here, you are ensuring that macro isn't triggered when you are actually using Skype !!!. ( macro runs only when constraint is TRUE.

Launch Skype> force new with the constraint WiFi connected to any network Regular Interval (can be configured in seconds,minutes, hours as you require - the macro runs periodically based on this setting) Actions I gave up on using Skype, so can't test it, but in principle should run fine Trigger The macro would look like this and needs to be tested. I prefer automation as a first choice, when I need to get something running the way I like and not depend on apps.

Besides,free version allows you to create upto 5 macros and for the task at hand, free version suffices.

There are plenty of them, but I use MacroDroid, since it is easy to learn and the behaviour can be easily customized to get the result you want. Since you couldn't find an app or root unless necessary, I am suggesting you to look at automation as an alternative Your search it appears is for a solution that keeps Skype active only when you are on line.

I'd prefer not to install a custom mod, but I'd consider it if that can somehow reliably fix this problem and give me reliable notifications and incoming calls any time I'm online and someone calls or messages me by Skype. I'd prefer not to root but this issue is very important to me and if that's the only option I'd accept an answer that involves rooting the phone.

My main hope, therefore, is for some kind of 3rd party solution like the apps referred to above for keeping Skype active, or some general Android setting. I've discussed this with Skype customer support, who were unable to help beyond establishing that it's nothing to do with my Skype app settings (notifications are on) or being logged in on another device. However I couldn't find any such examples that wasn't followed by a comment later suggesting it no longer works (and I can't find any examples now I look for it).

There's mention of 3rd party apps that fix this problem by keeping Skype active, thus preventing the status change.

A minority of posters claim to not have this issue, suggesting there might be something to do with general Android settings that influences whether Skype becomes unreachable when it goes into the background.

A few users mention that turning on "sync group chat in the background" in notifications fixes notifications for calls and messages too ( example) but this didn't work for me.

There's a post from 2014 which suggests that background calls work if "Answer calls automatically" is ticked in Skype settings - but I don't like the idea of people calling me and instantly hearing the sound of the inside of my pocket (maybe I've misunderstood what answer calls automatically means?), and I imagine I still wouldn't know they've called unless I'm in a silent room.

There's a separate issue where Skype doesn't notify on a phone if you're active on a computer, but plenty of people report this problem even when they've confirmed they're only logged in on Android.

If this is the case, it happens even when the optional Skype notification tray status icon shows the status as being "active" - some comments suggest this icon doesn't update when Skype becomes inactive in the background.

There is some mystery about why this happens, but there are claims that it's something to do with Skype's status changing to some kind of "inactive" status when it goes into the background after a period of inactivity (some sources say 15 minutes, some 5 minutes, some immediately on the Skype app window not being open), which, recently (but not in the past) results in Skype centrally not connect calls or messages to this user when this status is present.

It used to be possible to fix this issue by downgrading to before version 4, but older versions now no longer connect, so this appears to be no longer an option.

There are many long (and often angry) threads about this on Skype's forums, for example: No incoming call and chat notification on Android KitKat (12 pages), Skype never rings on Android phone (9 pages), skype not running in background anymore? (4 pages), and many others.įrom these threads I've extracted some clues:

There's a long-running issue with Skype for Android where, in recent versions (since 2014 I believe), it very often ignores incoming calls and doesn't notify about messages when it is running in the background.
