Hi there @rory

Could you try the following steps, exactly in this order, to see if it helps with your issue?

  • make sure you're connected to a wifi network
  • uninstall Deezer
  • clean your phone's cache
  • remove the SD card
  • turn off your phone
  • reinstall Deezer
  • open Deezer and download at least one album or playlist
  • reinsert the SD card

Hi,

I'm having the same problem on my android phone. I've already tried all the proposed solutions (restart, remove sd-card, reinstall,...) and still nothing.
Deezer Family subscription and the problem is only on my phone, even when I change profile. Both with downloaded and steamed content.
Any way to fix this that isn't on this forum yet?
Many thanks!


my issue is EXACTLY the same but on a Samsung a7 2018. fix please?!

This happened to me too. I couldn't download anything so I tried the prices described in the above link. It seems to have worked but I lost all of my downloaded albums and favourites. If it happens again I'll switch to Spotify!

@TVC

There are specific issues affecting only Huawei phones, as this topic shows - your phone could be experiencing this. We're working on them and will keep everyone updated. I know it's not much but you already tried most available workarounds.

Hi @ro4pvb1c

Sorry about that. Our developers are investigating this for a while now. I'll come back here if I get an update.
But in the meantime, please follow the troubleshooting steps you tried before, but in the same order just to ensure we tried everything. I'd also log out and download our latest version of the app to see if it helps.

Hello @Tomer Kehati we are very sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue. Please bear in mind that listening to music is using loads of data. In case the issue only happens with mobile data, try strong Wifi or make sure your music is downloaded for sure :wink:

Otherwise, could you please perform all of these troubleshooting steps again, exactly in the order mentioned. Otherwise it does not fix it.

Please keep in mind this will remove any downloaded songs on this device, but you can easily download them again afterwards, from your Favourites.

  1. Click on My Music/Favourites (the little heart) >>> Gear Wheel JiE3V4t.png>>> App Settings >>> Smart Cache>>> slide the blue button towards the middle of the line.
  2. If you are using the battery saving mode on your device please turn it off for once and try to test Deezer again.
  3. Click on My Music/Favourites (the little heart) >>> Gear Wheel JiE3V4t.png>>> App Settings >>> Disc Usage >>>Clear All
  4. uninstall Deezer
  5. remove the SD card
  6. restart your phone
  7. reinstall Deezer (available on Google Play)
  8. open Deezer and download at least one album or playlist and play one song
  9. reinsert the SD card

This should fix the issue but please let me know if you need any further help.

The same error message can be caused by different reasons, @evel79 - broken track, it didn't store in the app cache properly, the HiFi issue I mentioned, etc. But you've got a point when you mentioned our Android app, so I'll keep forwarding your comments so that our teams can improve on that - thank you for your support :thumbsup_tone2:

Hi there @evel79 

Thanks for reporting.

What you're experiencing, being a HiFi user, is our current issue with tracks playback, where the workaround is to go back one track and move forward again. Our devs are working hard to determine why this is happening so that we can fix it. So all your support and patience is very much appreciated :v_tone2:

Hi @Lyle Meiring we are very sorry to hear you are experiencing this issue. Please bear in mind that listening to music is using loads of data. In case the issue only happens with mobile data, try strong Wifi or make sure your music is downloaded for sure :wink:

Could you please try a different Wifi as well?

Thank you for already trying some troubleshooting steps. In case it is still not working, could you please perform all of these troubleshooting steps mentioned above again, exactly in the order mentioned. Otherwise it does not fix it.

Hello. I am unable to load anthing on my Deezer app please see screenshot above. 

This started last night and I clearered the cache last night and this did not help.

I have reinstalled it not too long ago and it's still not working.

 

I Can search for new artists but when clicking on them, it does not load, nor does it load when clicking on my recent playlists.

Please can you advise why this is happening? I've tested this on my WiFi and mobile data and the issue still persists.

 

When checking the online app, it works. 

 

Many Thanks. 

Lyle Meiring.

Hi Rudi

So people have now officially been reporting this issue for a year now - still no fix.

So far, every issue I have had with Deezer has not been fixed. The support responses are literally, and not metaphorically, like they are having a joke. It’s almost like it’s a game - “right, I’m going to respond with a completely random solution to a completely different problem, and completely dodge the question in the ticket. Then I’m going to mark it as resolved just for good measure”.

I have to say, I think your support is somewhat close to the support offered by EA (yes I went there).

I know 4 other people who use Deezer. These people use varying iphones and android devices - they all have this exact same issue.

I would go as far as to say every Deezer user encounters this issue - it’s quite scary that there is a problem on such a vast scale that can’t be solved. It’s not like you haven’t had time - looking through forums online people have been experiencing these issues for about 3 years.

Rudi - please tell me you have some positive news, and some sort of fix is in the works?
