Hub 5 “conflicting settings” in connect app

The VM Connect app is very flaky.  

What you are seeing now regularly traps people into having Paused WiFi devices that they can't resume.

Sorted itself out over night 🤷🏼. The app does not seem to be very stable.

Hi Mrspolppy, 

We're sorry to hear you're having an issue with the Connect App recognising your hub. 

The first thing to be aware of is you need to be connected to your Home WiFi in order for the app to connect to the Hub. It won't allow the connection if you're on a Guest network, VPN or Mobile data. If this still doesn't help, try clearing the data within the Connect App. These steps will help you do that: 

For your Apple device, you can try this: Open Settings > Tap your name > Tap iCloud > Tap Manage Settings > Tap the Connect App > Tap Delete Data. 

For your Android device, you can try this: Open settings > Apps > Connect App > Storage > Clear data / Clear cache. 

If this also fails then we currently have a known error with some of the data in our systems, that is causing the app to not recognise the Hub in a minority of instances. We are already investigating this as a high priority. 

Pop back and keep us posted. 

Thanks,

I am getting exactly the same problem
have done reboot and factory settings and same
when I try the option to go to my IoS device there is no option to clear the cache for the Virgin App

HELP this happened when I got a Hub 5 and wifi pod and its a complete disaster wish I had kept the Hub4

Hi

i decided in the end to just leave everything alone as the WiFi was still actually working and it was just the connect app. After about a week it corrected itself and the connect app is now working fine again. I’ve had a few issues in the past when having new hubs and have driven myself half mad trying to sort them out, when I think if you just leave things to settle hopefully it will resolve itself. 

Good Luck

The people on the Helpdesk are useless so maybe Ill leave it but seems a pretty pathetic system to be honest
