Hello all,

i have the "Not Connected" error..

reboot did not solve it.

got the same thing last night. I think it was a crash in the server because after a couple of hours, it was running smooth again!!

Guys, I read in another blog, from a user who is a beta tester, that soon there will be another update which will allow us to pin a single conversation to Start screen and also introduce the option to magnify the text (bigger characters) - feature for the people with eye problems. There was no detail on the release date though.

Lol am not surprised, whatsapp is not bothered about windows os, they keep making random promises and give buggy updates lol.

No problem was not because of gdr3, whatsapp last night did not work on any platform, not IOS not android not windows phone for some time, we was chatting on group chat an that happened, and it did not work to anyone of us for some time, luckily it got back to business

just edited the old post with some screenshots. they're in italian but you can see what I was talking about!!

Invictus can u plz ask him on that forum if that beta has multiple image sending and background image possibilities?

 

[invictus_7]

I did, actually, and I wasn't the only one ahah however he didn't answer.
I can give you my opinion though: background image will never come to WP platform. this is simply because it's not in the WP stile to let you personalize the background (you can only choose between dark and light option in the menu). So I don't think that option will ever come to WP.
but not only this!! also saving videos on the phone! this is actually a limitation of the OS. For what I understand, Microsoft has blocked 3rd party apps to save videos on the phone storage (for security reasons - stuff like that). I'm just hoping that things will change in feature - I really love MS and I don't want to change.

Great, we will be waiting for that update!

I have a problem with Whatsapp not auto-saving incoming images. I have got the setting enabled but it still doesn't save.

I have tried setting the option to off and restarting Whatsapp, then changing it back but with no joy.

Has anyone seen this before?

Same here on a Lumia 920. Auto saving pictures doesn't work anymore.

Whatsapp is a battery drainer. Once I removed Whatsapp, battery life is so much better on my 1020. There is no such issue on my HTC One with the Android version. And when was the last update from Whatsapp? Android version has been updating now and then, while Windows Phone version is so quiet like still water. Emailed them and no reply at all. With all these kind of cold shoulders from developers and companies, I really wonder how can Windows Phone ever catch up with the attentions given on other platforms.... Really sad to see this.

THIS, right this, is the real problem now!! And this isn't MS fault, not at all! They are doing everything to catch up with what other platforms can offer (in term of apps and games)!! See, for example, the Facebook app that Microsoft is building for us - I gave the beta version on my L920 and they are pushing updates EVERY FRIDAY!! oh, not to mention that jerks for Google!! Why in the hell they need to block an app that's nearly perfect?? Why?
This is the real problem right now - very small interest from developers..........

Very small interest from official developers. Third party developers are doing a great job.

what the f**k does this mean? Every developer that is not Nokia or Microsoft is a third party developer!!!!!

Hi, I recently bought a new Nokia Lumia 520 and I'm experiencing some annoying problems with whatsapp and notifications... Turns out that WhatsApp only "receives" messages when I open it... If the phone is IDLE i get no notifications, I've already turned on Wifi Always On and Permited whatsApp to run in background and this have not solved the problem :/
What else can I do? Is this a problem with MS push or whatsapp?

thx!
