This is really getting on my nerves now...

I've brain stormed and tried to help and have received NO apology or thanks for my efforts.

Searched and did not find answer to my problem. For last 3-4 weeks, I place a cell call out and everytime the Arlo pro 2 connection terminates. This never happens when I receive a phone call. I am using Verizon service on a Samsung S9+ smartphone. Thanks for any help.

So last night I took the camera down and resynced it and so far that has solved the app alerts issue, but still don't get email alerts. That's not a big deal to me cause I much prefer the app alerts for checking on movement.

Try rebooting the phone and reinstalling the app.

As if by magic this morning they have started working again. 

Woke up to find "Animal detected" notifications from my dog wandering around during the night.

I had the same thing happen to me this morning. Went out to the car and received a person notifications.  Really glad it's now working but wish Arlo would have acknowledged that there was a fault with it so I didn't have to waste so much time with support.

On iOS or Android? Are you paying for the Premier smart or are you on the basic (free) subscription?

@Wi11,

 

What model is your android device & what OS is it currently running? Do these issues occur on WIFI and cellular data?

Hey @Nando012,

 

Are you experiencing this error on both the mobile app and web client versions? Which device or browser are you using where you are experiencing this error?

Hi Jessica
I am experiencing this issue using the App on my Samsung S8 + phone.
Please note: I am in Australia. Firstly, is the Arlo Smart Feature available for use for Australians ? The subscription for Arlo Smart was successful. Therefore is it an App issue or simply, the service is NOT available for Australians in spite of money paid for the subscription?

There was an Android app update yesterday, have you updated the app and tried again?

Make sure you have given Arlo phone permissions when you update the app.

Same here! Since the update it will record but not send notifications at all.

I have tried everything from rebooting to uninstalling and nothing works.

The Arlo Smart Feature is available in Australia. Could you try checking through the web client to see if you're experiencing the same problem and to see if it's an app-only issue?

Have you updated you phone to the latest Arlo Mobile App version 2.6.4 and tested again?

What firmware version is your base station and camera currently running? Have you checked the library on the web portal or mobile app?

Yes, everything is up to date. My current version is 2.6.4_23200 which was released 11/26/18. It is ONLY the one camera that I had set smart services on. The other 3 work perfect. 

I have even tried to cancel smart services and reset everything to the basic 'free' mode. That 1 camera still will not work.
