    I downloaded Skype successfully but was having hiccoughs so I uninstalled it & tried to reinstall it, no luck, it tells me 'no storage' which is not true. I understand it leaves a 'directory' behind which prevents it reinstalling!! Please how do you fix it without 'rooting' the new phone?? Can someone or SKYPE help please??

                        u can just stop the app working in the background by using task manager, where u can see the running app and u can end just the one or all....so no fuss about quitting or signing out or wateva.
