Why is talk not working on my phone?

[Hackersschmakers]

Just that really, doesn't work on either of my phones (iphone and blackberry), or my ipad. Mobile adn desktop sites.

Works fine on laptop?

Mine too. I haven't been able to login to my android phone since That Incident. Probably a good thing, because I've rediscovered to joy of reading on my commute as opposed to giving MN the dubious benefit of my wisdom.

Hi both - thanks for flagging this. We've let Tech know there was a problem. Are you having any trouble today?

Yes - I just get 'connection failed - unable to connect with MN'. PW and username both correct and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the MN app from Play Store.

It stopped working on my phone as well today- windows phone. has worked perfectly up to this morning

SirChenjin - are you trying to access the app? The Android app has been completely removed now.

Not working at all on my Nokia Lumia

Ahhh...that'll be why I can't access it! Why did you remove the Android app?

We took it down post-hackergate for security reasons and have now kept it down permanently as we think it's for the best. For the time being, we'd recommend using the mobile site.

OK, really thick here - what is the mobile site? Is that the MN I get when I do an internet search on my phone?

Yeah, that's the one, although it does sound like it might be having some issues at the mo Tech are looking into it.

The mobile site is really slow though...loads of scrolling and the functionality is not as good as the app. Damn that whatsisname - or maybe not. I am arriving at work quite zen like after a read of a proper book as opposed to a barney lively debate on MN

The app still isn't working on my apple devices

The Talk ap is still available on Play store although the ap is unuseable. Should it be?

That's a shame - the app was so much better than the mobile site...and you could have told us! Seems quite a few of us were removing/reinstalling because the message was one of non-connection, rather than non-availability.

I couldn't get on since last night, it was coming up with the logo but was blank, or was sticking and I couldn't scroll.
I was using Dolphin Browser on an Android, but have got on with Chrome.

It's loading on my phone but it's like the links aren't actually links - I can scroll up and down but not read anything.

I much prefer the mobile site tbh, always found it much easier than the iPad.

squishee - good point. Is it possible to get the app removed from Play Store?

Hi everyone - thanks for posting. Tech are working on removing the app from the Google Play Store at the mo.

Here is a link to the original thread where Justine discusses what has happened with the Talk apps.

Thanks for this. I thought it was just the dodgy signal in the backwoods

I'm still having problems - not through the app just on any device that isn't a laptop. It's sending me over to the dark side...

I also can't use it on my iPhone (through safari)

Haven't been able to use the mobile site on the IPhone for two days now.

Thanks for the suggestion upthread of aProper Book. Had forgotten about those. No mobile mn is driving me insane.

Hi everyone,

We're really sorry this issue is taking so long to resolve. Please bear with us - our Tech team are doing what they can to get things sorted as soon as possible.

Mobile site on the iPad is still rubbish here too. Finally managed to get on today, wasn't able to for the last few days, but it's very slow and glitchy
