How to Fix
Step-by-Step Solutions
- Check Internet Connectivity
Open a browser and load a website. If it fails, the problem is your network, not the app.
- Disable VPN/Proxy
Go to Settings > Network & Internet > VPN and toggle it off. A VPN can block traffic to the server.
- Restart Your Phone
A quick reboot clears temporary glitches and refreshes network stacks.
- Clear App Cache
Settings > Apps > [App] > Storage > Clear Cache. This removes corrupted temporary files.
- Clear App Data
If clearing cache doesn’t help, clear data to reset the app to factory settings. Back up important info first.
- Update the App and OS
Check Google Play for app updates and Settings > System > Advanced > System update.
- Try a Different Network
Switch from Wi‑Fi to mobile data or vice versa to rule out network‑specific issues.
- Contact Server Admin
If the problem persists, the server may be down. Reach out to the service provider.
