OK good to know but I don't like the light in my eyes and I don't like the battery drain and I don't like the heat generated. Even if i plug it in its a distraction at night the glare even when dimmed. Basically the screen should be off and I should hear the notifications and the wake the screen and accept the ride etc.

In that case, you need a phone cozy. Just slip it over your phone at night and that glaring screen will be replaced by a little raccoon, or squirrel, or other forest creature for example. Problem solved.

Omg, your list of excerpts is epic!
I have received that alert about not accepting requests when i had been offline for days, and even needed to update my app and couldn't go online, at the time. They just apologized when I replied about that, said it was am error.
I also was having trouble where my data connection would be good and everything in my app would seem normal, but I wouldn't getting requests and would find i wasn't showing in the rider app, and had a similar list of absolute non responses to that, until finally, this:
"This is almost funny. Even though it's obvious that I won't get any assistance here, I might just keep writing until someone sounds like they actually read what I wrote. I said nothing about fares or having trouble getting online. Has anyone actually read what I wrote?"
Got a reply that was atleast in English, and related to my problem, but nothing i hadn't already worked out- if you're not getting requests, move.

I told uber support basically to go **** themselves and like all foreigners who hate America they just keep smiling because they know they got under your skin and if they don't they will be whipped and beaten anyways so either way it's a win for them. I did customer support on phone for most my career and if I ever said any one of those responses and I made it up I would have been canned if discovered. That's American support they way it used to be and now even Americans just bulls hit their way off the phone with 0 resolutions except pissing off the caller.

I made exactly $150 bucks this week with uber and I worked my ads off staying logged in like 16 hours a day and driving all the **** over the county. Basically nothing you can live on.

 

[bingybingyfoo]

Lol, omg sorry. I feel you. Do you have lyft there?
I started with that and other than *not* screwing me [read-disappearing] on my new driver bonus, it's not really better. But together they keep busy enough. My first guess would be low traffic in your area, my uber is almost always much more busy. I work usually one on a guarantee night, both other times these days.

 

[bingybingyfoo]

On the subtle list of differences I have found though - lyft almost always gets atext to you add soon as they lose comm with your app- you know if you get kicked offline.

 

[bingybingyfoo]

I remember, you do that. I read these sooo early? Late?

 

[BurgerTiime]

Omg who read all that?

 

[ummmm]

I do Lyft also ya and the riders suck for me just drunks and drunk colleg ****s. I mean there some good ones but most are just to disrespectful to wanna give rides to. Here it's dead there are no guarantee nights here at all. Surge times no one is dumb enough to request rides hardly during those times. Uber hasn't resolved my issues so far plans still haven't acknowledged my needs. Pretty sure there is a contract to have a properly running platform

 

[ummmm]

Yeah well that's why we fail because ain't no one got time to read all that.

 

[ummmm]

Omg who read all that?

I mean less face it man ignorance is bliss and here we are keep *****in because we don't take the time to read and understand the issues. Trust me I read it all so I can know WTF is going on or someone is trying to say... I guess you don't.

 

[bingybingyfoo]

I read most of it twice

 

[ummmm]

Lol get thanks hopefully it made ya laugh

 

[ummmm]

One time I got 3 drunk Lyft riders and I shit you not I was like... So how many lines if cocaine did y'all do prior to entering my car?

Then after awhile I discovered the guy and girl in the back seat with skirt up and panties dropped and he was fingering her away in the back. I said WTF no one gets off in my car but me!!! Ride was over and I put them on the curb!!!

No sound: This is probably because your phone is plugged in. Your phone thinks sound is going to another speaker. Solution: Does the phone have a separate aux? If so, use it to your car speakers. No aux? Stop listening to the radio and turn the input source to that phone.
Pings do not pop up: They should even if your screen is off. Go through the options until you see one about foreground.
If you're not doing the sound solution, but find the foreground one you can still miss pings. Although they will pop up, it's easy to miss them if your eyes are on the road.

 

[ummmm]

I finally got a screen shot of this elusive shit!!! Background is I was sitting here in my car and reading a tech article on chrome as usual. I heard a toast notification that sounded downward in tone. I checked my pull down menu from my notifications bar and was finally able to get shots.

Screen burn in doesn't happen anymore with lcd displays, and brightness can be adjusted from drop down bar. You can just leave uber running and 0lug your phone into the car charger. If heats an issue then make sure there are no other apps running in the background. Uber does this to force you to use one app or another, luckily Lyft updated there app so you can run it in the background

 

[BostonBarry]

I don't know whether to laugh or weep.

 

[ummmm]

Well it's ****ed up for sure and uber Denys the popup

 

[BostonBarry]

I was talking about you. Screen burn in? What is this, 1992? Not being able to figure out the Uber app auto-signs you out when you've left it in the background too long? How many dozens of emails from Uber reps (who are generally clueless) trying to explain to you the very basic truth that the Uber app needs to remain on-screen, etc.

I think I've decided. I'll weep.
