[Steam Mobile Authenticator] A Blank Page?

Closed
claudekenny234

UPDATE: So the app started working when I used my university's wifi instead of the one at home. Too bad I got a trade hold since I had to reinstate my phone as the mobile authenticator. Oh well. Thanks for the tips, everyone!

Apologies for the unrelated post to SG, but I can't find any help in the dead forums of the Steam mobile forums :(

Been using the Steam Android App since a month after its release. It worked fine until a day ago when I noticed that it couldn't load the confirmation page for trades. I waited for another and it seems like it still does the same. I noticed that it didn't load other pages as well such as my inventory or profile pictures of friends in chat (Seems like the only functioning parts are the chat and Steamguard option).

So I logged out and couldn't log in since the app shows a blank page.

So I did the following:
Reinstalled the app several times
Restarted and reset my router

Sadly none of these has worked so far. This is also the first time I've encountered this problem :/ Anyone know a possible fix for this?

Currently have:
A Samsung Galaxy Core Prime 5.1.1 latest (Updated)

just click the reload icon at the right corner and you should be fine.
otherwise you may close the app completly and re-open it..

Problem is the app shows a completely blank page when I open it. As I've stated in the post I've tried reinstalling, restarting, and disconnecting from my wifi connection and still doesn't do anything :/

well then I'd say, save any data/numbers, and reset the phone and see if that works

Did you unistall just by using the "Unistall" button in the settings?

In case you just pressed "Unistall". Do this:
Install the app and make sure it's in your Internal Memory not SDCard.
If in SDCard move it back to Internal Memory.
Clear Cache
Clear Data
Unistall.
Restart your phone
Install
Forgot to add PROFIT!
