Uverse wireless gateway cannot be found message on app for both iphone and ipad.

For the past two days I have been unable to use the app because when I try to select the receiver I always get the message that the gateway can't be found. 

 

So far I have (All of these were done for both devices.)

-deleted and reinstalled the app

-closed and reopened the app

-rebooted

-tried the troubleshooting feature of the app

 

All along I do have the following:

-my list of recorded movies

-the ability to set up items for recording

- the correct guide for my location

-the ability to watch live shows on my devices

 

I cannot:

-use the app remote

-select a show from the home page on the app

-watch any shows on my television using the app because the app won't connect to the receiver

 

What next?

Perhaps everyone needs to tweet to @uverse about the dissatisfaction with this issue?  Seems like a social media backlash just might get them to at least acknowledge and address the issue?

So I decide to go ahead and call. Explained the issue, of course they try to
Get you to troubleshoot, I explained I had done that and that it was an issue with the app and I wanted to know the status. Put me on hold then came back saying they are aware and working on an update. He said they were "close" to having it ready. When I asked how long that was he said "give us a month"! I'm not expecting this to get fixed soon. My guess is they probably had a scheduled update to the app and this bug fix is getting added but the release date isn't changing. I think I may just call everyday on my way to work to ask for an update until it's fixed.

Hi,

 

I was able to find out that we are aware of the issue, and a fix has been developed. We are working on rolling it out as we speak. Please check to see if the features are working tomorrow. You may need to uninstall and reinstall the app. If still having issues, let me know what errors you are getting.

Just checked and mine is now working. Thank you AT&T for getting this fixed! I didn't update my app, so there must have been a reversal of whatever change was pushed out.

The issue was never the app, but a firmware upgrade that was pushed automatically to the gateway. This disabled the apps ability to communicate with the gateway with respect to remote function only. The push yesterday of the bug free firmware is why the app works again.
