Watch ESPN

[Neill Baldwin]

Did something happen with Windows phone that the watch ESPN app doesn't work anymore? It used to work but now it just looks me to my provider to sign in then back, and won't play.

That's too bad. I used it all the time during college football season last year. Hope you can get it working.

I used the app the past weekend to watch some of the OSU-IU game on my Lumia 950XL. Worked just fine for me.

 

[Neill Baldwin]

I need to figure this out cause that's exactly what I was using it for. I watch it primarily during college football and I am also on a 950xl. If I can't get it figured out then I guess it's back to my Galaxy S7 Edge on the weekends.

Have you deleted and reinstalled the app by chance?

Have you deleted and reinstalled the app by chance?

Yep. Have tried to open from the website, the watch ESPN app, the regular app, and no results.

 

[Scienceguy Labs]

Sounds like there's something else going on. Have you gone to the website and entered your login info, but then clicked on the "forgot my password" to see if you can change your password? Then, try logging in with your new credentials.

 

[Neill Baldwin]

Yeah I changed my password already. I know it still works cause I can use it on my Galaxy S7 edge

Interesting, I was watching the U.S. Open on mine last weekend and outside of a single hiccup (Over 2 hours use) it worked just fine. Hope you can get it working and hopefully the Galaxy version keeps working.

Are you on any Insider rings....fast, slow, release preview?

 

[Neill Baldwin]

No. I was on my 950 but I begged out. Now with my 950 xl, no insider.

 

[Scienceguy Labs]

Well, I'm at a loss, man. Sorry I couldn't help.

 

[Neill Baldwin]

Appreciate it. It's got me totally confused

 

[Neill Baldwin]

It's got to have something to do with how the phone is holding login info. I factory reset it and same issue. I also can't login to the windows central app on it. I just pulled out my 950 and it plays ESPN just fine

 

[Scienceguy Labs]

Just a thought...where do you have the app installed? If you have it installed on an SD card, you might want to move it to the phone and see what happens. Also, if you are using an SD card, when you reset your phone, did you also format that card before installing apps again?

 

[Neill Baldwin]

No SD card. I literally went through setting by setting with the 950 and the 950 xl and everything is exactly the same. I actually thought about putting a SD card in it and trying to run it from that just to see if it would make a difference.

 

[Scienceguy Labs]

Might as well try that, I guess. Couldn't hurt.
