Hi !

well, the problem in your case seems to be unrelated to the problem I see in other cases where Skype doesn't work, althought one common cause is: internet connection problems. Not the same problem, not even related one with the other, but it's the only thing that seems to make Skype die.

In your case, every time you run Skype, a connection to "http://infoc2.duba.net" is attempted and then refused. That triggers some actions that ever ending with Skype silently being killed.

I pasted the part of the logcat where you can find what I'm saying. It happens the same along all the log.

If you uninstalled Adaway, please restart the phone. If you have any other Adblock or antivirus please completely uninstall and restart too.

I'm asking you that because I want to see the real problem that makes skype not to work, and I think all ths network garbage is contaminating the evidence :)

Edit: related to Adway, one thing is the webserver and other is the automatic updates of the /etc/hosts file. Both can be configured in adaway's settings. The local webserver is only usefull to hide the space left by stopped ads.

Regards !
