+acachebox Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 (edited) Delete this question. It was my error in that I had the phone on WiFi. Today from 4 to 5 pm EST I could not connect to Geocaching with my I Phone. Each search for the nearest cache came back with "Communication Issue There was an issue connecting to Geocaching.com Please try again" Is this a server issue or a problem with my phone?

+TL&MinBHIL Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 You weren't the only one. We started caching today around 1:30 central. After we found 2 caches, I could no longer connect with the Geocaching app. I kept trying for about an hour while we did other things, but no luck. I tried restarting the app, rebooting my iPhone, restarting 3G & network data, logging out of geocaching.com and back in again...nothing worked. Didn't discover it was working again until we got home about 3 hours later (although it may have been working sooner than that). I don't think it was the phones, I assume it was a problem with geocaching servers. Quote
+acachebox Posted June 13, 2011 Author Posted June 13, 2011 mine wont work today Interesting point. Mine won't work either in WiFi or 4G. Looks like the problem IS on Geo's end. Quote
+BigFishyBob Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 I'm still having the problem too. Anything saved in favourites is fine, but any new searches whether it be "locate caches nearby" or via GC code come back with a comms error! Most annoying! Quote
+zeusisloose Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 We had the same problem with our iPhone yesterday and this morning between 9 and 10 am EST. Once we got home in our driveway, it worked. Very frustrating! Anyone have any solutions? Quote
Christophe123 Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Same problem for me ! When I try to find nearest cache, I've got "Communication Issue There was an issue connecting to Geocaching.com Please try again". I tried on Wifi or 3G (on iPhone 4) It was working yesterday afternoon but not today. I bought the Geocaching application from Apple Store (so it's official, not from any hack site). And I don't have a premium membership, only a free one. When I open my Geocaching application I have the "Online" status but if I go to "Settings", type my username and password again, it says that "Vous êtes connecté en tant que Christophe123 (Hors-ligne)" (in english : "You're connected as Christophe123 (Offline)".

Very frustrating! Anyone have any solutions? I have sent a request to the Mother Ship asking them to review this thread. The system is collapsing quickly as I have to sign in to every page change and it is refusing to accept my user name or password 1/2 the time. Quote
ragudi2 Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 Hello, my iPhone 3G also can't find any geocache with the Geocaching.com-app 1.2. No success after rebooting iphone, switching off/on GPS, new installation of the app. Network connection via EDGE works well. In the moment there is no solution and i must retry later. Quote
+Jeff.Kerwin Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 The same here in Germany with my IPhone. Internet access is ok with EDGE/3G or WLAN but no access for searches to GC. Also with my Motorola Xoom there is no access. With the IPad it works without problems ... what´s going on there ? Quote
Augenduebler Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 The same problem than u! Have anyone an answer for that? greatz Quote
+Lieblweb Posted June 13, 2011 Posted June 13, 2011 (edited) Try closing the application completely and running it again. In most cases, it's geocaching.com that's the problem. If you haven't rebooted (soft reboot) the phone lately, you can try that. . Edited June 13, 2011 by Lieblweb Quote
+kwcahart Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Same problems with Android phones. I can use c:geo and it works just fine, but can't connect with the Groundspeak app. Quote
+acachebox Posted June 14, 2011 Author Posted June 14, 2011 Same problems with Android phones. I can use c:geo and it works just fine, but can't connect with the Groundspeak app. What is C:GEO? might need it if the problem reoccurs. Quote
+s'muusers Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 same problem in switzerland unable to connect to geocaching.com..... Quote
+kwcahart Posted June 15, 2011 Posted June 15, 2011 You can't say c:geo on this site, but you can download it free from the Android Market. Quote
