Skype won't start if "allow app background services to start on bootup" checkbox is off. To be more precise, it starts but automatically closes after milliseconds. I've checked couple of other androide apps, they were fine
Ps also i;ve noticed, that when that checkbox was off, the skype process started anyway after reboot

well it seems that the problem for me was with disallowing android apps to access my contacts =( when this checkbox is on, then skype starts ok.
@Maximilian1st that's what i did first thing=) turned off access to contacts
it's a pitty that we didn't get that function "per-app" as with "running in background"
virgi26 ( 2015-07-15 17:14:36 +0200 )editIt would be nice to have a fake contact folder where you could add two or three contacts at your wish and Android could only access these. It could be integrated in the phonebook, where you could tick a box for each and every contact "share with Android"
Maximilian1st ( 2015-07-15 17:16:59 +0200 )edit@Maximilian1st I think groups would work well with that purpose. Contacts belonging to certain group would be visible for Android apps. But fist groups for contacts must be implemented. Vote here!

What Skype version are you using? I have 5.4.0.4241/429 and I starts even if the option is not checked.
