Hi @Milly9173,

Thanks for visiting the EE Community 

What is happening when you try and access the page for Wi-Fi controls or the upgrades page? Are you getting a specific error on either page? 

Can you access other parts of your online account in app ok or is all of the app effected? 

Alex

Hi Alex. 

Thanks for the quick response. 

I can access all of my billing OK but when I click on shop & upgrade device I have an error message telling me that upgrade information can't he loaded right now. Check your online & try again in a few minutes. When I click try again nothing happens.

When I click on set up WiFi controls I scan qr code on bt router box app says pairing with your hub with the dreaded circle of hell swirling around on my screen. 

Finally when I click on home phone settings and I click on manage call protect I get an error message saying we cant load this information.

I have been back & forth to ee customer services 4 almost a month with still answers.

Very dissatisfied with app overall. 

Regards 

John

@Milly9173 Thanks for confirming, it sounds like your account is correctly linked if you can access the other parts ok.

I am sorry that you are having multiple issues with the app currently, I appreciate it is frustrating when things are not working as they should be.

With you mentioning having been in touch already, what have our guides you have spoken to advised when you called?

If the account is setup ok, and the diagnostics have not resolved any issues with it when calling, then typically our team would need to raise a ticket to our specialist team to get it resolved. If there was already a known issue, instead they would take your details and add it to the existing ticket to help the team gather examples to diagnose the issue. So if the issue was unable to be resolved on the call, it should have went either of those two ways.

 

I imagine it has all been checked previously when you called, but it is a BT Smart Hub 2 you are using? And instead of the QR code when pairing is there an option to enter details manually and is the result any different? And have you tried via the app on a different phone/device?

Hi Alex. 

Everything that you have suggested I have tried to no avail. 

Apparently a ticket was raised with your tech team but that was about 3 weeks ago. 

I have nothing since. 

Lots of other people are having the same issue as me. 

Can't understand why this major issue isn't being resolved ASAP 

Will probably just uninstall the EE app & use other apps to check speeds connection strength etc.

Please keep me in the loop if anyone can come up with a solution to this probably simple fix. 

Regards

We just had to keep pushing and threatened, paying for a service we were not being provided, I contacted making a complaint and made a proper complaint then got put through to the digital resolution team which raised a case but then .. who then said we know it's known issue and how they are working on it, I then emailed back saying I get its a known issue but with this community how it Shows it's an issue and has been for years I asked what's the resolution and going to be the final solution as I was paying for a service you can't access and that doesn't work  and they had no choice to let us leave free of charge, ending our contract free of charge 

 

This was after how they'd call when I was at work and even when I said to call back after work and how they said they would and they wouldn't then they'd close the case, or close the case claiming they've called when they hadn't claimed it had been solved, they will keep trying to fob you off

 

So just complaint, complain online, and don't bother ringing.. so you can get your point across as on-call they don't know what you're on about make sure to put your foot down - you have to have a valid reason though and it's how you word it- I mean they wouldn't normally do this.. just demand they either reduce the bill if it isn't going to work or leave for free.. if they aren't an outcome then what are you paying for especially like us when we couldn't change the password. Access settings etc

Make a complaint online and ask well what is the outcome going to be then.. why should you have to pay for a service they can't fully provide and that isn't working.. if they canr reduce your bill then say you should be able to leave and leave with no cost.. yet they tried to say we are the only ones at first until we mentioned and showed the community comments and they soon did something and with the complaint putting our foot down after they tried to fob us off

Working through a very similar complaint via the Ombudsman having been sent a "deadlock" letter - it is very frustrating since the broadband service itself is very good!
