Has anybody else had their WhatsApp notifications stop working?

Yup, works on and off today.

 

[José Mourinho]

Yup, works on and off today.

Cheers.

There's no official version, but have you tried this 3rd party one? Dev seems to update it frequently: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/run/6a890aa3-e7d7-4743-8b7f-e9bfe440de11

I'm using that one right now. The free version is sort of limited and it has its quirks.

 

[Nero3000]

Going to have to send my 925 for repairs.

Stuck with an iPhone 4 for a while...will be interesting. Soooooo tiny. At least the xbox music app is better.

Will be interesting to see the new restore process for windows phone.

 

[Rushersauce]

There are problems with push notifications in apps like Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger.

Has anybody else had their WhatsApp notifications stop working?

Yes, I disabled my data sense limit (I had just set up the limit to keep track, but configured it to take no action, but apparently it still did) and started working again.

Each time I see a new app update I get excited thinking it is Xbox Music.
Each time I am disappointed

Haha me too

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Hey guys I have the Lumia 521, will it get the 8.1 update?

 

[PG2G]

Haha me too

Don't give a public date if you can't meet it. Should have just said the shit was coming soon.

I feel like sending my resume up there lol

 

[NeOak]

Yup

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Yup

thanks

I've been told that it will.

Didn't work for me :/

Mine are spotty now.

 

[Bullza2o]

I updated my 521 to the preview, so yeah.

 

[SCHUEY F1]

EBay got a big update.

 

[kharma45]

EBay got a big update.

About time.

 

[brotkasten]

"Alex Garden, currently the general manager of Xbox Music, Video and Reading at Microsoft, will become the first president of Zynga Studios, a new role reporting to Mattrick, on May 5. Garden will oversee all games developed at Zynga except NaturalMotion’s titles, which will remain under that company’s CEO Torsten Reil."

Things can only get better now!

 

[MCD]

Lastflowers reported him fast lol.

 

[Nero3000]

Evidently, no big loss.

 

[derFeef]

Everything bad at MS goes to Zynga, hah.

 

[JaggedSac]

Bunch of updates when I wake up, none of them Xbox Music

 

[brotkasten]

I'm not sure why everyone's waiting for that Xbox Music update. It's not like it will change anything significantly. The app is going to remain useless even after that update. These things, they take time (and all that).

So the bigger question is, where the hell is the new Spotify app?

Asking this myself every day. I want it now.

 

[KageMaru]

Any news on an update for the video app? Most of the movies and shows I own are through MS' service and it would be nice to be able to play it on my phone.

 

[derFeef]

Wow the SmartGlass app is really terrible, especially the friends list. Get on it, lastflowers!

They must have read this thread.

Good third party music/video player?

Fuck Xbox Music.

Fuck Xbox Video. It doesn't see my local videos. The old hub did that.

You guys separated the apps and made them worse. Just...

I don't know why they would outsource it to their French division if that rumor is true. What would they benefit by doing that?

 

[PG2G]

Glad to see Don Mattrick lackeys abandoning ship. In Phil Spencer we trust

I hope Spencer and Elop get along, otherwise I could see Spencer leaving sooner than expected. The meltdowns on the gaming side would be fantastic.

 

[nillapuddin]

Got a free 1020 for both myself and my girlfriend, heyooooo

8.1 GET!

EBay got a big update.

I actually used the new version today - a massive improvement, feels like a competent app now.

 

[hadareud]

Does anyone else think that the Xbox Music app isn't really all that good and needs a big update?

 

[SCHUEY F1]

The app needs its own thread.

 

[hwalker84]

Weird. It's not showing up for me.

Even searching in the store I'm not seeing the update.

Hit the back arrow and the damn camera launched. Bug is getting really annoying.

Edit: Finally showing up.

They suck. It's the worst media player right now. They really suck.

Nice. How'd you get them free though?!

Snagged that ATT deal this weekend on the non contract refurb Lumia 925 this weekend. Just updated to 8.1 and I love it. Should hole me over till my upgrade.

You guys think taking our voices to twitter would help? I can't believe MS has let this go for so long since Zune was dropped.

 

[hadareud]

150 interns?

wtf.

 

[Ape]

I think we should start by Tweeting @ Lastflowers and seeing how that helps. I'm pretty sure that his desk is right next to Satya's.

 

[antiquegamer]

Lastflowers reported him fast lol.

Peer review is finally working at Microsoft.

 

[Razdek]

150 interns?

wtf.

These apps feel like they've been made by interns so it makes sense.

[StudioTan]

My 1020 gave me a scare this morning. It was off so I assumed the battery died but it didn't want to charge. Left it for about half an hour and still nothing.

Soft reset worked thankfully. I don't know what could have caused that when it wasn't being used.

I'm taking a Western Civilization class right now and we've been reading up on the history of France. France, as a nation, is truly one of the greatest and most important nations that's ever existed. However, when the French fail at something, they fail miserably. Take the 100 Years' War for example. At the onset, the French had every conceivable advantage over the English. The French lost every single major battle in the first 20 years of the war...

I'm on part 2 of the Hardcore History episode series "Blueprint for Armageddon" and while Dan Carlin rightfully praises the French for their 19th century accomplishments, his descriptions of their World War I plan/army are shocking. Bright red pants, bright white gloves and white hats, horses with breastplates lack of belief in heavy artillery. Just finished hearing about Battle of the Frontiers...27,000 dead French in a single day
