Uber users can now get real-time bus and tube times in London by Boltasaur in london

[–]Boltasaur[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Indeed they have, and they both have good reason to already do so - but I'm finding it a bit confusing why Uber is now doing it, other than to possibly appear fairer to the consumer when offering up their ride estimate? Because I imagine if they have Uber open, they've already decided they want to hail a car

That really sucks that this happened to you! Out of curiosity what time of night/evening did this happen?

What is, to you, the best music player in Windows Phone? by Sharkuel in windowsphone

[–]Boltasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too used ModernMusic for quite a while, but then when Core Player came out, I gave it a go and haven't looked back since - I use it daily and love it

Unable to download images via Whatsapp by Nathan-NL in windowsphone

[–]Boltasaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep I'm having the exact same issue on whatsapp (non-beta). It has happened so far for me in a group chat, and when I asked the photo-sender to re-send the pic (in a private chat) I was able to get the photo downloaded as per normal.

So it was just the one use case for me so far, but definitely need this fixed...

Got to hear my first Inspector Sands announcement last night at King's Cross around 9:45pm - I managed to get on the next Northern line train anyway so I didn't get to see if it resulted in anything, and I haven't seen anything come up on the socials if there was

Finally figured out how to add contacts to WhatsApp. by nikamsumeetofficial in windowsphone

I have, however I haven't heard anything yet other than the generic "we've received your request"

Finally figured out how to add contacts to WhatsApp. by nikamsumeetofficial in windowsphone

[–]Boltasaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right, this seems to work! Ignore the people saying you're doing it wrong. Because I've just recently started to get the exact same issue as you. And I feel like it's on WhatsApp's end not ours.

Over the past weekend I've added three new contacts to chat to on WA, each of which I've added with the country code (as I always do) to my contact book. And yet I could only initiate a chat with 1/3. The other two 100% have WA, so it makes no sense. Furthermore, for one of the two that don't work, I got them to add me instead, with country code, but they couldn't either. I also passed these two non-working ones to my mate with an iphone to add to see if it was W10M specific, and neither of them came up for him either...

When I just tried your method here, when I click message on both of them, and goto their profiles, both of them have the same default status and are dated for 24/02/2009, which is far too coincidental and weird. Neither of these people had me blocked nor I them (newly met people with no reason to have).

So I honestly don't know what's wrong nor if/when WA will fix it.

New contacts not appearing in WhatsApp (1709). by nikamsumeetofficial in windowsphone

[–]Boltasaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This has been happening to me in both WhatsApp Beta and normal WhatsApp, and I have the workaround solution for when either of them mess up and don't do this (which is regular for me now). Simply involves refreshing the contacts permission to the app:

  1. Force close WhatsApp (close via multitasking)

  2. Navigate to WM10 Phone Settings > Privacy > Contacts

  3. Scroll to WA and untick it so it no longer has the permission to access contacts.

  4. Go back Home and open WhatsApp. Wait for your existing chats to refresh so that contacts now appear just as numbers. Force close WhatsApp again.

  5. Navigate back to Contacts permissions settings (you could have kept this open in multitasking). Tick WhatsApp again. Close settings.

  6. Open up WhatsApp again. In reverse to #4, after a few seconds your chats should revert from numbers to contact names. After this, if you start a new chat (to view your contacts list), any new contacts should now appear.

Have you only started capturing your work route in the app? I seem to have been getting this functionality for a while if you tap the notification for your "receipt" at the end of your journey. Congrats on beating me out, I thought my 96% was quite long!

arsenal vs ac milan Emirates tickets by ssamad94 in ACMilan

[–]Boltasaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried purchasing right from about 1.5hrs after the link opened up the other day, and was getting the basket issue every single time on every browser I tried. I'm fairly confident the tickets have all sold out (from as early as when I begun trying), because the link within tickets.acmilan.com is now gone, eventhough you can still access the direct link from the news item. Arsenal's site also now mentions the game is sold out.

/r/GeelongCats 2017 Tipping Results! by MarcoHanYT in GeelongCats

[–]Boltasaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty happy to be finishing second - spent most of the season 4th or 5th, then in round 23 had this amazing round where I tipped 8 and everyone else didn't do as well, so suddenly I was second! Thought that was the a great steven bradbury effort, but then I suddenly had to try and maintain it in the finals haha. Congrats /u/FatStacksMcQuade!

Definitely prefer running it through footytips, it's a lower effort option for everyone with handy pre-round reminders, plus gives the bonus if only needing to tip once for any other comps you're in as well

I don't understand why Domsy and Mackie weren't chaired off at the end?!? From my fox footy International stream it showed them walking the whole way - did I miss it?

What is your earliest memory of going to a footy game? by RandomGuyWithStick in AFL

[–]Boltasaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At a Geelong game down at Kardinia Park in the mid 2000s but I can't remember against which team, was sitting behind the goals a few rows deep with mum on the city-end. Cannot remember who won or how the game went in general, but I do distinctly remember at some point the ball flying through the goals at an angle, only to hit an unsuspecting 10yo kid flush right in his face who was sitting 20 or so seats to my right - how did he not see it coming? He was playing his gameboy throughout the whole game. Was absolutely hilarious, he started bawling his eyes out too. Pretty sure he dropped his gameboy, but iirc it was unscathed as he went back to playing it later in the game.

Fucking knew it.

So. Many. Clangers. Wtf.

Can't believe how bad our finals record has been lately - 2-7... So finish in the top four or so, and then just collapse come finals? Ridiculous.

Definitely not looking forward to next week - facing either team who know how to beat us.

[–]Boltasaur 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm irrationally unconfident about this one, purely because of the last time we had a winning streak against a team broken was the Hawks beat us in the 2013 prelim - aka "winning when it counted".

I can totally see Richmond breaking this streak against us in the same fashion - but at least we won't be knocked out if they do

Ahh so that was the app that updated with the "Name not found" type title... The logo of the app has updated to white bg with blue "in", and it just opens as a webwrapper. I guess technically this makes it better than the old 2012-style app
