Battle.net App Not Connecting to Friends/Chat on Android

I’m experiencing an ongoing issue with the Battle.net mobile app on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (European version), where I cannot connect to friends, chat, or account settings. This issue has persisted for over a month. The Authenticator works fine, but the main Battle.net app gets stuck on “connecting.” Here’s a summary of the problem and the steps I’ve already tried:

Issue:

  • Cannot connect to friends list, chat, or account settings.
  • App gets stuck on “connecting”, and these features never load.
  • The Authenticator works as expected, but nothing else connects.

Troubleshooting steps I’ve tried:

  1. Uninstalled and reinstalled the app multiple times.
  2. Cleared cache and data of both the Battle.net app and the Google Play Store.
  3. Tried connecting with and without SIM cards and on different networks (Wi-Fi and 5G).
  4. Changed default browser (tried Chrome, Edge, Samsung Internet, and others).
  5. Reset network settings on my phone.
  6. Verified that no VPN or firewall is enabled.
  7. Ensured that the Battle.net app is excluded from battery optimization.
  8. Booted the phone in Safe Mode, but the app does not launch in this mode.
  9. Contacted Blizzard support multiple times, but the ticket was closed with generic troubleshooting steps unrelated to my specific issue.

Details:

  • Phone model: Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra (European version)
  • OS: Up-to-date as of September 2024
  • Battle.net App: Latest version from Google Play Store

Given the extensive troubleshooting I’ve already performed and the fact that this issue appears to be specific to either my account or device, I ask for this issue to be investigated by developers.

I’m posting here to see if anyone else has experienced a similar issue or if there are any additional suggestions.

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Having the exact same issues. Also went through the entire trouble shooting.
Mine’s a S21FE.

same situation here… also means that we can’t use the autheticator…

Amazing company. This forum is filled with complaints about this small indie company’s Android app being completely non-functional, and they just don’t care. In fact, their “”“Support”“” refers people to this forum instead of doing anything, so…why? So we can all be miserable here together, I guess?

Would love to be able to name my groups in WoW, but I guess that’s a luxury we can’t have. Time to buy a new phone just for Blizzard and its amazing coding, I guess.

I have a samsung s24 ultra and have the same issue. I also have a samsung a53 and it works great on that one. I tried all the fixes and nothing worked. I put a ticket in and they basically just told me to post here… typical blizzard option when they know nothing
