Android App Connection Issues

Just got the Pocket device in the mail and really excited to try it out; however, I’m running into some connectivity issues in the Android App that are limiting the functionality.

When first setting up the device, it was struggling to connect. It would repeatedly connect and disconnect from the Pocket device which caused trouble with updating and transferring recordings. I resolved this eventually by resetting the devices and reconnecting it multiple times until it worked properly.

Next, within the app, internet connection seems to be an issue. After recordings are transferred to the app, they sit in the upload queue forever. The only workaround I’ve found for this is to go into the app info panel and specific app settings, force stop the app, and then close it from the app manager, and reopen the app again. This triggers the upload to commence. This internet connection is also an issue when trying to connect to calendars as it cannot grab relevant meetings to attach tot he recording.

No VPN connected to the phone, connected to wifi and mobile network doesn’t matter, only fix has been a force stop AND a close from task manager (app switcher).

Really excited for this device, but these are critical items within the app that are causing frustrations and reducing productivity from the app. Especially if these are mandatory troubleshooting steps that I must inform my team on to use the products.

Thank you!

Had the same issue. Had to update the app then fixed. Mostly

Hey @zackh,

We experienced a temporary downtime earlier due to an issue with one of our external providers. This has now been resolved.

Could you please check on your end and confirm if you’re still encountering any issues?

That must have just been poor timing with the downtime and getting it setup because the device is working fine for uploads and transcriptions and summaries now with no need to close everything.

My only concern going forward is the setup and disconnecting from the app upon initial setup I was experiencing. I’ve got two team members that we are looking to onboard these devices for as well so will have to spend time with them during setup to ensure we figure it out.

Thanks
