ive had Arlo for about 6 weeks now and all working fine till yesterday

The problem is with viewing the cameras on my mobile phone as live streaming

all i get is a black screen

have uninstalled several times, synced again checked flash rebooted, turned off and on again.

still records fine in motion mode and i hear the audio fine

also works fine on the laptop

seems could be related to update for the app?

anyone else have the same problems?

specs states ;

The Arlo app requires the following OS versions:

  • Apple devices: iOS version 9.0 or higher
  • Android devices: Android 4.2.2 or higher

 

It could be the last update of app ( ? )

mine is 4.2.2 and it had been working fine, does this mean i need to upgrade my phone?

Since you have 4.2.2, it should work... as specs say that or better. ( and you had it working before that )

 

Do you / have you the lasest  android app update from the Oct 2 or did the issue start then?

 

I really don't have any more to offer as help as you did everything I would have suggested already...

Only other thing is to make sure the cam and base FW are up to date.

 

@JamesC   James, is it possible the new app requires a higher level of OS?
