I’ve been using the Android Tapatalk app for a while, and several days ago the SD stopped communicating with it. The other forums I have bookmarked are fine. Is anyone else having this problem, and is it something to be fixed at this end?

Thanks!

It’s working for me at the moment. (iPhone 4, Tapatalk version 1.12.2)

I haven’t been able to get any of the thread to show using Tapatalk on my Android phone for the past couple of days. The forums are all listed, but unpopulated.

Strange that it should just stop working, given that nothing was changed on the server.

I just updated the SDMB to the latest server plug-in v3.3.31.

Update your Tapatalk client, and let me know if it still doesn’t work for you guys on Android.

This happens to me periodically and resolves if I uninstall and reinstall Tapatalk. I found this thread trying to Google the problem to see if there was a better solution.

Reinstalling worked for me too.

This happened to me today on my Atrix and I was able to resolve it by going into “Manage Apps”, selecting Tapatalk and then hitting “clear cache”. Force closed and everything loaded normally on restart.

Sent with my fat fingers using Tapatalk.
